Chapter 140 B-Grade Zombie
Moving towards the place, I found a bunch of 4 legged zombies running towards the sound as well. Each of those zombies was C-Grade and their features were similar to the Licker.
They were jumping from one broken building to another, and I could see them barely moving even when the time was 100 times slower.
Ignoring them, I reached the location where the battle was taking place.
-SHIIINNNGGGGG!
-Rwar!!!!
I could see a green-haired girl wearing a black mask, carrying a chainsaw in her hands as she fought with another zombie who looked really ferocious. The zombie was at least 3 times that of a normal human and its muscles were over bulging.
'Just what is he?'

'A B-Grade Zombie, huh? No wonder it can walk so fast... but for someone to fight against a zombie so strong, who is she?' I thought before using inspect on that girl as well.

'A B-Grade Human, huh? Guess things aren't too grim,' I thought as I saw how skillfully she was fighting against that zombie.
Despite being so big, that guy was fast as heck as he easily caught up to her before she could even dodge. But utilizing that precise timing, she used her chainsaw to cut him down skillfully.
'Nice!'
I thought before I saw another zombie coming from a distance
[Inspect!]
[Skeleton Zombie(B-Grade)]

It has evolved various other defense mechanisms to protect itself like acid skin, decay effect, etc. Be careful as once it starts running, it only stops once it has killed enough.

I saw it getting closer and closer as it approached Irene. Irene had a look of desperation and annoyance on her face as she hurried her steps towards the Giant Armageddon Zombie.
Armageddon Zombie, sensing something was wrong, started taking a few steps behind as it dodged Irene's blows, making Irene even more desperate.
The expression of Irene was really bitter at this moment, and I wondered what would be going on in her mind at this moment. Her desperation was showing over her previous calm face and she was actively searching for a way out.
And after a few moments that Skeleton Zombie had reached closer to Irene, enough to make her take some precaution towards it. The Armageddon Zombie, finding an opening, made a move towards Irene as well.
"F*ckers," I heard Irene cursing as she made a really annoyed expression. She was more or less trapped here.
Though before any of the zombies could get her... a giant hand made up of sand formed from the ground and immediately caught and threw Irene towards me.
As Irene flew towards me, the Skeleton Zombie collided with the Armageddon Zombie and both their expressions were confused as heck. As for Irene, before she could realize what had happened.
-Catch!
I caught her in my arms as I looked through that masked face, into those innocent green eyes of hers.
"Need any help?" I asked as I looked at her and, after a few moments of confusion, she nodded before getting off me.
"Which one do you want to handle?" I asked, and she looked at me with a slightly surprised expression before speaking,"My energy is low right now, so I could only provide so much help here. Sorry for being such a b*tch but can you fight them while I cover you?" she spoke, and I chuckled,
"What's the guarantee that you won't ditch me?"
She smiled bitterly as she spoke,"you think I can escape this hell all by myself? Not after I have attracted 4 of them at once... I am sorry, but we are in it together now."
'Four?' I thought before scanning around, but not being able to sense I sighed before speaking,
"Well... I guess we can strike a deal here."
"What deal?" she asked in confusion as her eyes concentrated on those zombies, who were walking towards us with slight caution.
I touched her head and
[Advanced Time Manipulation!]
And increased her energy regeneration by 200 times.
She looked at me with confusion as her eyes widened at me. There were questions in her eyes and I just smiled as I saw her energy filling up really fast. It should take about a minute to fill her energy back up to complete.
Those zombies, especially the runner, ran at me at full speed and almost reached us.
"Stop already," I spoke as another hand formed in an instant in front of me and caged that zombie.
While it was too fast, with the power of [Eyes of the Time Keeper] it was too easy to determine when it would reach where, and using that power, I just caught it before it could even reach me.
Ignoring that Skeletal Zombie, I then turned to Irene, who was dumbstruck at what just happened. Her eyes were in disbelief and not really caring about it, I just asked
"Can you answer a few questions of mine? It might sound stupid to you, but can you answer all my questions properly?"
She nodded subconsciously as she looked at me with a bit of a scared expression.
-Crush!

But I didn't just stop there. I then began moving towards the other C-Grade Zombies as well. After all, the time for which I can use the Spirit's power was limited.

The notifications kept ringing in my head as I moved towards that big guy over there. Reaching closer to it I saw it being able to move even after me covering it with all the concrete around.
"It has a strong skull. Even a force of-" I heard Irene's voice, but before she could continue
[Time Cutter!]
-Slash!
-Slash!
-Slash!
I used this ability to cut through that zombie as if slicing through a thin paper, cutting it from three different vital points with three slashes in a single second.
Making it fall down lifeless without any energy.

After that, I turned to Irene with a smile on my face as I spoke,"you were saying something?"
