Cody used a motorcycle-like vehicle made from special zombies to search for the anomaly that Korre meant. He also used the signal detection skill, but the results were still nil.Meanwhile, he had made Big Jordy have a drilling function.Suddenly, Cody changed his course in another direction. Finally, after a long time, he felt a signal similar to the communication sphere used by Korre, but this time it was stronger.He narrowed his eyes as he drove further in that direction. If he encountered that anomaly, there would be a significant obstacle.Instead of approaching it when he was close, Cody stopped his vehicle in the air, observing a giant sphere of a shiny white color. It’s almost the same as Korre’s communication device, but without a mouth.However, that wasn’t what really interested Cody. There was a residential area around the giant sphere that was in the empty land. This could make things complicated.Cody lowered his vehicle, then jumped down. He changed his face to look li
“I see. So that’s what you’re going to do?” Freya sighed after hearing Cody’s explanation about the settlement. “It seems like it’s inevitable.”The two of them were sitting on a bench under an enormous tree.“Just imagine if something that keeps this place together is destroyed.” Cody continued. “Everyone will feel depressed, and that could lead to undesirable consequences.”Freya paused for a moment. “But you will not back down, are you?”Cody shook his head. “No, right now I’ve sent the big Jordy there. Besides that, I’ve also sent some of the special zombies. If I can persuade those people, that would be great. But if not, then I’ll have to use those zombies to force them.”“I have a question, Cody.” Freya closed her eyes. “But maybe you won’t like it.”Raising an eyebrow, Cody looked at her. “What is it?Cody found it quite surprising that those words came out of Freya’s mouth.“What if some of those people stumble with our people?” Freya asked with a grimace. “They’ll tell our p
“So, you want me to sing for that little town?” Gwen raised an eyebrow after hearing Cody’s explanation in her room in Akira’s community.Cody smiled faintly. “Yeah, hopefully that will persuade them. I’m tired of all those killing.”Gwen smiled too. “Okay, Cody. I’ll do whatever you ask.”“Thank you, Gwen. I really appreciate it.”After that, Cody went to Akira’s place to express his intentions.“Isn’t that too complicated?” Akira raised an eyebrow after hearing Cody’s explanation. “I expected you to do something swift by pulling them out by force.”Cody shrugged. “Maybe doing what you usually do isn’t really my cup of tea.”“Are you going to keep trying until they agree?” Akira asked again. “What if your method doesn’t work?”Cody paused for a moment. “Let’s talk about that later. The point is, I want you to tell your people that they won’t be seeing Gwen for a while. Just pretend she’s on tour for a while.”“Well, but I doubt I can contain their fear for her safety.” Akira sighed.
Even though they used a vehicle made from special zombies, it still took a few days to transport Gwen’s team of musicians and those who cooked. Cody couldn’t guarantee the safety and comfort of the thing, so he had to keep up the pace.Cody hoped that he didn’t waste the time spent.Arriving near that town, Cody asked the others to take a break. But the acoustic instrument holders who would accompany Gwen insisted on practicing.“That town is quite peaceful.” Gwen commented. Then she looked at the giant sphere.“Yeah.” Cody sighed. “If I didn’t need to destroy that thing and they weren’t affected by it, I wouldn’t have done this.”Gwen smiled. “I’m sure you made the right decision, Cody.”Cody was silent for a moment before finally continuing. “We’ve rarely talked since you lived at Akira’s place, Gwen. How are you?”Gwen chuckled. “I feel great, Cody. Especially now that I have a lot of friends to play music with.”“Glad to hear that.”They then fell silent and just looked at the tow
Cody climbed onto the big Jordy’s head and shouted at the top of his lungs. “Korre, I know you can hear me! Come to me! I want to talk to you!”There was no answer. Cody shouted again, and he kept doing it, even for a very long time.“Alright, alright.” Finally, a round communication device the size of two human heads approached Cody. “What do you want?”Cody gave the communication device a sharp look. “I beg you, can you keep their food source going even though I’ve destroyed that big anomaly?”“Hmmm? Why should I do that? What’s in it for me?”Cody gulped. “I promised to give you a good fight. You’ll be satisfied fighting me.”“In the end, it’s the same. Wouldn’t you make the fight less fun if I refused your request?” Korre snorted. “That’s a silly bargain.”What Cody just said made little sense, but he was too desperate to save that town. He was sure that if he didn’t do something, he would feel so guilty towards Agatha and her people. Such a thing would be very difficult to erase
Cody kept trying to forget what was happening on the surface and focus on drilling. Yes, he was worried and felt sorry for Agatha and the others, but he had to focus on his mission.The longer he drilled, the stronger Cody felt the signal. But he still hadn’t reached his destination.If this continued, Cody doubted he would reach Korre before his stamina ran out. That would be an absolute disaster for him.So, instead of continuing that, Cody rested to restore his energy. It was better than rushing and not being able to fight because he had no stamina.From behind the darkness underground, Cody found one of Korre’s communication devices approaching the big Jordy he was riding.“What do you want?” Cody was so annoyed to see the round object.Korre, through the communication device, chuckled. “Rest, huh? Well, I’m glad you decided on this. I want to fight you in maximum condition.”“You just want to tell me that?” Cody’s tone became sharper.Korre sighed. “You’re still cold to me. Well,
Cody continued drilling after taking a long break. Because the surroundings were dark, he didn’t know how long he had been there.He felt he was getting closer to the destination because the signal was getting stronger. He just hoped that while he was gone, his friends could still be safe.Until finally, Cody felt something unusual. The surrounding darkness turned into a combination of very dense tendrils of light. Then, he no longer drilled the ground in front of him and his body was now floating.He was now running in a corridor of light.However, Cody didn’t panic. He knew this was supposed to happen. He had just reached the gate that led to Korre’s place.Because of that, he steeled himself for the next fight, even though he didn’t know Korre’s true form and his fighting abilities.Cody was in the portal for quite a long time until he arrived at a giant room with reddish natural stone walls. However, that wasn’t what caught Cody’s attention, but something in the middle of the room
A long time had passed, and Korre spoke. “We can start anytime.”Cody spoke. “Let’s do this then.”“Alright. I hope you’ve fully recovered.” Chuckling, Korre stood up and twirled his lance.The two of them then walked in circles, glaring at each other. Cody anticipated his opponent’s attack initiative. However, because Korre didn’t strike, Cody finally stepped forward.A fierce fight ensued. Neither of them wanted to lose. Cody launched a flurry of slashes from various directions, sometimes even spinning around like a dancer. Meanwhile, Korre was stabbing Cody.So far, neither Cody nor Korre had been able to land their attacks on their opponent. That made the fight faster and fiercer. The two of them jumped at each other, even using the cave walls as footholds before launching themselves at their opponent.“Ugh!” Cody screamed as Korre stabbed him in the chest and pushed him against the wall.“Why do you look like you’re in pain?” Korre asked while twisting his wound, making Cody winc
