Not only did Noah spend Fenrir\'s unassigned points, but he was also able to see just how powerful Fenrir was after the accumulation of his skills.

Fenrir may let that strength get to his head, but he didn\'t mind Fenrir\'s attitude as much as Arachne did, but that was because he just felt that Fenrir wasn\'t as smart as her.

"No-Noah!"

Noah turned towards Ailetta, he noticed that her voice was struggling to get out. Her face appeared to be constipated, but Noah believed it was because it was a lot harder to control a zombie that was a higher tier than her.

She couldn\'t take the chance to look at him, but she was on her last legs.

"I\'m running out of mana! They\'re dying! Wh-what do I do?"

Ailetta was panicking, she has constantly used her skill since the apocalypse started and she has rarely overused her mana before. But she wasn\'t prepared for not only the amount of mana used to reanimate the creature, but also the time to maintain it was higher than she could bear for such a long amount of time.

Noah took the time to look over at their situation. There were people who were dead, yes, but he saw that Jasmine and the people that Ailetta supposedly cared about were still alive so he didn\'t quite understand.

"They are doing just fine, it\'s not like we told them to rush in. Arachne has already killed off most of them anyway. However if your mana is low then you should use the blue potion in the bag. This is the best time to grind as much as you can." Noah tried to remind her about what was important, but Ailetta stopped listening when she heard about the potion.

In one swift movement, she hurriedly pulled the bag off in front of her and rummaged frantically for potion inside before chugging it down forcefully.

Noah shook his head when he saw how distraught she looked over those people who he believed weren\'t worth it, he just couldn\'t understand. And it\'s not like he was lying when he said they were doing fine, to him they really were. Swarms of the sprinter\'s zombie would certainly seal their fate, but when they had Arachne killing them off before they were targeted and then Ailetta, who was using her zombie to kill off as many as she could, they weren\'t left with too many to fight with.

Yet even with these factors, people were dying. It was because the sprinters were literal kamikazes and would just dive straight into their group without a care. This led to the group to fight defensively, not everyone could be protected.

But Noah didn\'t find their situation interesting enough to care, what he found more interesting was the situation at the gate.

The first thing Noah noticed was that this time it was Fenrir who was attacking the tier 0 zombies while Arachne was about to face off against the unknown creature. Deciding on their own, Arachne didn\'t want Fenrir to obtain all of Noah\'s attention, even though she killed so many zombies and easily killed the tier 1 zombie was extremely fast compared to her counterparts, Arachne felt that she wasn\'t able to fully display her strengths.

She wasn\'t fighting at this moment to enjoy herself so she planned to use her best skills from the start. Her eyes seemed to glow with a purple aura and that same aure appeared to form on the zombie in front of her. While doing so, a couple of the zombies tried to approach her, but were quickly dealt with when she was able to kill 4 of them swiftly at the same time and finished off the last one with barely any effort. To the current Arachne, they were moving extremely slow.

With eight legs, not counting the arms she previously gained, taking care of multiple low tier zombies at the same time wasn\'t hard for her at all. But she didn\'t want to keep getting interfered with, and at the rate Fenrir was going, the zombies were already almost finished off.

With a powerful jump she arrived behind the zombie, and at the same time she faced it while lifting her body onto the tips of her legs before bringing her bottom end under her and shooting out her webs all in one motion.

The webs appeared to have no effect, and it was a web that remained connected to her as it melded into the cracks of the zombies armor.

The zombie attempted to maneuver around to face Arachne just for her to continue to stay behind it and shot a couple more webs to secure the process of her skills.

She would have attempted to wrap the zombie in her webs using her imbued webs as a faster process, but doing so would only use more mana.

All it took was for one of her 6 webs to pass through the armor before it took root into its skin, enabling the skill \'Embodiment of Sins\' to take an effect. Once that happened, she continued to move in circles around the zombie while constantly making stabbing motions with her legs into its rough back.

Unlike the situation that would\'ve played out before. Her legs that were like miniature spears were able to pierce into the rough armor like skin.

Because of her ability \'Sinful Decree\', she lowered down the stat that was higher than hers and that would provide her the best benefit. It was strength for the zombie with the overly large arm, but she lowered down the current zombie constitution by half. Otherwise she would only be able to use her claws and legs just whittle down its armor which would take a lot more time and effort than it should.

With each stab, a green liquid was released into the injuries inflicted, and with the use of her poison that now lowers down her opponents stats, including her earlier abilities, it wouldn\'t take long for her to finish it off.

Noah realized that as long as she was faster than her opponent, then she would most likely come out on top. But after seeing all the skills she had to use and the mana that is required for those skills, he realized that she was really mana dependent!

He also realized the strengths and weaknesses of both of his creatures. In Fenrir\'s case, the current zombie wouldn\'t take him as much effort as it would with Arachne, but he would need the same amount of effort if it came to the faster zombie from before.

And even though Arachne wouldn\'t really struggle with any single one of the tier one zombies, monsters with higher constitution or with the ability to resist her effects would give her much more difficulty.

\'But together….these two would completely dominate.\'

Noah couldn\'t help but think. He imagined how fast the tank-like zombie could\'ve been brought down if Arachne lowered its stats while Fenrir attacked it head on. They complimented what the other lacked.

The fight was almost over. Fenrir had already run back to Noah looking to be complimented, the surrounding zombies were already taken care of and Mark\'s group had finally established a rhythm to combat the zombies, not without losing at least 30% of the dead weight.

What caught Noah\'s eye were two unlikely women that overshadowed the group in the battle. One was Alicia, the power to control objects was extremely effective against the zombies that were still able to be affected by weapons of low quality. And given the speed at which the zombies were running, their speed was being used against them as they impaled themselves. Unfortunately for her, the knives were stuck in their heads.

But the other woman was the girl with the bow. Every now and then he would hear a loud thud before seeing a zombie fall and an arrow sticking out of its head.

That sound was the main reason for him to take notice of their situation as Arachne was fighting. He just couldn\'t help but wonder what those arrows were made of to create such a noise.

"gggrrrrhh…."

Noah refocused on Arachne when he heard the defeated roar originating from the zombie before. The zombie laid flat on its face while Arachne stood over it while attempting to dig into the back of its skull. The zombie continued to growl as it struggled, but when the growling stopped Noah knew it was finally over.
