The puppet straw man summoned by Duane continued to fight the zombie fiercely. Although it managed to withstand the bone blade attacks, David could clearly see that its defense was strained.

After all, Duane was only at Level 5, which meant the strength of the straw man was at most Level 5 as well. However, this Level 5 strength was quite mediocre, and the straw man lacked intelligence. On the other hand, the skeletal zombie's combat power was astonishing, making them clearly mismatched opponents.

Duane was well aware of this. Taking advantage of the time the straw man in its battle with the skeletal zombie, he approached David.

"The straw man won't last much longer. We need to find a way to deal with it quickly. I don't want to waste another one of my treasures," Duane said with a tinge of sadness. He had already destroyed a golden bell, and if the straw man was destroyed as well, it would be a bloody loss for him. These treasures were hard-earned in this post-apocalyptic world, and not only were they powerful, but they were also incredibly rare.

Listening to Duane's words, David nodded. He had been observing the skeletal zombie's attack patterns. He noticed that it only launched attacks against one person at a time. This meant that there would always be one person in a spectator role. He acknowledged that the skeletal zombie's combat power was formidable for a regular esper, but in doing so, it exposed its own weaknesses in the process.

So, David pondered for a moment and said to Duane, "I'll engage it head-on, and you look for an opportunity to support." Hearing David's words, Duane was momentarily taken aback. Him engaging the skeletal zombie head-on? He admitted that the young man before him was strong, but the opponent was an undying combat-oriented zombie. Not to mention the strength alone, the never-ending battle was enough to exhaust anyone. That's why he chose to summon the straw man as a substitute.

Duane expressed his concerns to David, "The strength of the skeletal zombie should not be underestimated. Can you handle it?"

David smiled faintly. "When it comes to survival, even if I can't, I have to give it a try. Haven't we all survived like that? Isn't that right?" After speaking, David walked towards the skeletal zombie without hesitation. Observing the determined figure of the young man, Duane couldn't help but be amazed. In that moment, he seemed to see the silhouette of a savior in the apocalypse. He quickly became extremely cautious, tightly gripping his Iron breaker sword, and waiting for David's command.

Soon, after the straw man blocked one attack from the zombie's bone blade, it could no longer withstand the pressure and instantly shrank back to its original size, falling to the ground. However, the skeletal zombie's fighting spirit remained high, and it swung its blade towards the motionless straw man on the ground.

This instantly pained Duane's heart. He had intended to step forward and snatch his treasure from the skeletal zombie's blade. But as soon as he took a step forward, he saw David rush forward like a beam of light.

"Clang!" The spatial blade in David's hand collided with the skeletal zombie's bone blade. Then, David picked up the straw man, swiftly stuffed it into his pocket, and only then did Duane breathe a sigh of relief.

David then spun his alloy dagger in his left hand, swiping its blade across the ribs of the skeletal zombie. "Slash!" A piercing sound instantly resounded as the alloy dagger left several scars on the exposed ribs of the zombie. Enraged by the strike, the zombie forcefully thrust its left arm towards David's arm.

A smirk appeared on David's lips as he decisively let go of the alloy dagger in his hand, assuming a stance to catch the incoming arm of the skeletal zombie. Instantly, the tremendous force unleashed by the zombie was effortlessly neutralized by David.I think you should take a look at

"What an immense power!" Duane, who was observing from the side, couldn't help but exclaim. At this moment, David raised his head and locked eyes with the skeletal zombie, which seemed to be filled with mockery and disdain within its empty eye sockets.

David's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered two words, "Corrosion!" As soon as the words left his mouth, a fierce malevolent aura burst forth from his palm, instantly enveloping the zombie's arm.

In the next second, David saw a drop of white liquid trickle out from between his fingers. The corrosive ability that could melt Duane's iron dagger ,effortlessly entangled in the zombie's bones.

The skeletal zombie seemed to feel pain and immediately let out an angry roar. It swung its bone blade with its right hand once again, aiming for David's skull. David activated the portal of space, instantly appearing behind the skeletal zombie.

"Boom!" The bone blade in the skeletal zombie's hand struck the abandoned lathe nearby, producing a loud rumbling sound. Seeing that its attack had missed, the zombie quickly pulled out its bone blade and charged at David from behind. Compared to before, its speed and strength had noticeably increased, possibly due to anger.

Meanwhile, David calmly used the portals of space to shuttle back and forth. As a Level 7 esper, he could easily overpower everything in this area. However, he wasn't in a hurry; he wanted to see the true strength of the skeletal zombie. Undying combat? A fighting zombie? David considered them all rubbish.

Watching David disappear and reappear through the portals of space, Duane nodded in astonishment. He had already been conquered by the young man's strength.

At this moment, the skeletal zombie fiercely swung its blade at David once again. However, this time, David didn't dodge but instead, after activating the portal of space, he moved the portal right in front of the skeletal zombie. It immediately plunged into the portal, charging forward. After a spatial fluctuation, the zombie suddenly appeared in another part of the factory.

Watching as half of the zombie's body was exposed, David smiled faintly and decisively pulled out a high-explosive grenade from the storage system. He didn't want to waste too much time here anymore.

"Clang!" David pulled the pin of the high-explosive grenade and unhesitatingly threw it towards the zombie. Duane, witnessing the grenade rapidly flying towards the skeletal zombie, was stunned in place.

"A grenade? This guy is using a grenade to blast the zombie? What kind of move is this!" In the midst of Duane's astonished gaze, the entire body of the skeletal zombie emerged from the portal of space, and the high-explosive grenade happened to land on its head.
