After ensuring everyone was adequately equipped and rested, Kisha and her team pressed on with their journey. While she and the others fought their way to a more secure location, they dispatched Sparrow on another mission. Their goal was to navigate through another building, seeking a safer path forward.
She equipped each and every one of them with better equipment she gathered from the farm she ransacked to the ground. She did not think that she’d be needing those items as soon as she woke up from her awakening but she was somehow excited to get back at the people who targeted her and her people.
Absolutely, Duke’s people were her people, and any threat to them was a threat to her. Their plan now was to ensure the safety of the Winters by relocating them to a secure location with additional bodyguards for protection. Meanwhile, the primary party, including Kisha, Duke, Sparrow, Vulture, Tristan, and other supporting members, would launch raids on all known Coltons locations.
With Kisha once again at the helm and the bees resuming their rotation, reminiscent of their initial foray into the western district, the entire group now grasped the ease with which others had traversed the zombie-infested streets, while they are maintaining the appearance of cleanliness and composure throughout their journey.
It felt almost like night and day as they progressed, with the zombies encountered along the way proving manageable and not overly abundant. They could even afford brief intervals of rest amidst the ongoing skirmishes, finding the battles surprisingly easy to handle.
Additionally, Kisha made a discovery: when her team or any member entered battle mode, a list of their names appeared on her left side, akin to a gaming panel, displaying their respective (HP) and (SP). This feature allowed her to provide support to those in need during combat.
Not only did this feature make it easier for Kisha to identify which members of her team needed support, but it also allowed her to monitor Sparrow, who was on a separate mission. This meant that even when her team was far from her, she could still ensure to monitor their HP which would give them an idea if that person was safe or under attack.
Moreover, in the heat of battle when she couldn’t spare a moment to check the team panel, 008 could step in to remind Kisha to stay updated on their status.
While on the move, Kisha and Duke took advantage of the opportunity to consolidate their energy within their energy cores. Duke had become adept at wielding his ability, seamlessly integrating it into his combat style as though it were innate.
Even at level zero, he demonstrated the potency of his high-class awakened ability, unleashing devastating attacks capable of killing multiple zombies with a single strike.
Now Kisha understood why Duke struggled to articulate his initial experience with his ability. There was simply nothing to explain; from the moment he awakened, his ability seamlessly integrated into his being, becoming as natural to him as breathing.
Kisha couldn’t suppress a pout, silently wishing her talent matched Duke’s prowess. However, she halted her thoughts, knowing 008 would grow resentful. Redirecting her focus, she concentrated on her fingertips, attempting to manipulate the smallest knife she possessed. While her mind kept pace, her body’s energy integration still faced some delays.
Undeterred, Kisha persisted, seizing every opportunity to refine her energy manipulation.
Initially, everyone marveled at Duke’s flashy and lethal attacks, displaying enthusiasm akin to fanatics. Meanwhile, Kisha focused on guiding Mrs. Winters to harness her own ability, ensuring she became comfortable with it before proceeding with her own training.
Although this process took some time, Kisha soon mastered control over a dagger, sending it flying through the air to kill zombies with remarkable precision and speed. As she continued unabated, her companions found themselves with little to do but collect the crystal cores left behind.
The vanguard now operated as two separate groups: one led by Kisha and the other by Duke. Whenever one of them grew fatigued or depleted at least half of their SP bar while utilizing their abilities, the second group seamlessly stepped in to take over.
This strategy ensured they could maintain a relentless onslaught, with one group leading while the other rested, allowing for continuous utilization of their awakened abilities without constraints.
