All of the Zombies that Zain had in his possession were mutated Zombies. If they were to go up against an average human there was a fifty-fifty chance of them winning out of the fight. They were stronger than an average human but still had next to no brains.
So a skilled fighter or one with experience would still be able to take one down. However, Zain had placed all four of his remaining horde down one of the alleyways nearby in case there was the need for them again.
The whole group was together, making him wonder just what was able to take out all four of them. It was a shame really because now it meant Zain would have to go through the whole taming process again.
The saving grace was the fact that Jam, Skittle, Corba, and now War were all okay. The main cast of his horde.
As Zain turned to have a look at what was coming around the corner, he had a somewhat bad feeling as he heard several heavy thumps that sounded like the footsteps of an elephant. When seeing what had turned around the corner, it appeared that his guess was right.
"That's… that's one of those large zombies that attacked the base!" Dave shouted out. "We have to… we have to get out of here."
The others were in agreement and didn't need to be told twice. From time to time, the base would be under attack from zombies such as this, and they had all seen how much firepower and people were needed to deal with such a thing. Without the base's help they could never kill such a thing.
As they all began to run though, they noticed that their new allies hadn't come with them.
"Pink, what are you doing, let's get out of here and head back to the base!" her mother shouted. "They will help deal with this thing."
It was interesting to hear that the base had enough firepower to deal with a Titan, making him want to see it even more.

It made sense now how something like the Titan had killed Zain's horde. If they were just standing idle, a single hit from such a thing would have crushed them all. Still, Zain wasn't worried because he had defeated one before.
That was when he was on his own, with no help from Skittle, Cobra, and wasn't the same level as he was now. On top of that, he now had the sword mastery as well. It was almost as if the system knew it would be too easy for him, which was why it had given him such a task.
"It's good that you two stayed." Zain said. "You guys have been absorbing crystals and getting stronger, so it's time to see just how strong you've gotten, take out the Titan, and try not to use any guns."
Both Kun and Pink looked at each other… before they would have never dreamed of doing such a thing, but for some reason after the events that they had just experienced, there was a new confidence that was growing in both of them.
"It's best if you guys get out of here so they can focus." Zain said without turning his head.
Dave wanted to stay, he wanted to help out but didn't know how he could, and since the others had left, they needed someone to help them, so he decided to run off with them in the end.
Looking at the Titan, Zain was wondering if using Cobra or Skittle would count as help, it would be interesting to see how much strength stats Skittle would need to be able to match a Titan, but just for the sake of the reward card Zain wouldn't risk it.
Besides if they looked like they were in some sort of trouble, then he could always get involved and just lose the quest.

As Dave and the rest of his group ran down the streets, back in the direction of the museum, they soon ran out of breath, and started to take in a breather. Pink's mother and father wanted to turn back, but the father reassured his wife that Pink was a strong person who knew what she was doing. They had seen how she had dealt with those in the group of people.
"The supplies!" One of the females shouted. "We left the supplies back there…"
When being ambushed they had taken off the supplies and left them on the ground after seeing the Titan. They were all too afraid, too young, and it was their first trip out without supervision from the attack force of the museum.
"I'm glad to see you are all alive." A voice said walking down.
Turning their heads they could see a man wearing sunglasses, a full swat uniform with a submachine gun around him, as well as two large daggers attached to his belt.
"Brandon!" They all shouted, and Dave immediately rushed over to him.
"Brandon you have to help. We left the supplies back there, and these three guys… they helped us, they saved our lives and are now facing off against one of those large Zombies that attacked the base!"
Hearing this, Brandon's heart started to thump. He knew exactly how dangerous those Zombies were. He had lost two of his precious men to them as well.
"They stayed back to fight." Brandon said thinking about what to do. "I know you want to help your saviours but… I would have to go back to the base and ask for more help."
Dave clenched his hand, feeling useless, because he knew by the time they went back to the base, and came back it was most likely that those three would be dead.
"I think… with you they can do it. They're strong." Dave argued.
——
After around 10 minutes of running back together as a group, Brandon had turned the corner entering the street that they were on, but it seemed quiet. When reaching the area, Brandon could see a dead Titan on the ground and three people surrounding it.
"Oh, who's this?" Zain asked.
