Shadow Clone is quite a useful ability. Just imagine being in a battle and suddenly having an extra opponent appear, causing confusion and despair. Additionally, it can be used for exploring dangerous places. Waldo was quite satisfied with this ability.
He continued to use Shadow Clone several tis to beco familiar with this ability. After about an hour of experintation, he had a preliminary understanding of it.
Firstly, the Shadow Clone was created from Waldo's shadow, and he could have only one at a ti. Secondly, the Shadow Clone possessed so combat capabilities, roughly equivalent to 30% of Waldo's strength.
Thirdly, the Shadow Clone couldn't stray more than a hundred ters from Waldo. Lastly, if the Shadow Clone was destroyed, he needed half an hour to use this ability again.
Waldo explained to Alanna and Helen, "Besides these four points, controlling the Shadow Clone requires so of my ntal power. When using it, I have two entirely different perspectives simultaneously. It's a very peculiar feeling."
Helen's eyes began to shine as she exclaid, "The Shadow Clone is so powerful, isn't it? It can not only confuse opponents but also fight!"
Waldo smiled and nodded in agreent.
Shortly afterward, the two won inspected Waldo's Shadow Clone, even giving it a gentle squeeze. It felt soft, lacking the substantial texture of his real body, like squeezing cotton. After a while, they grew tired of playing with it.
Alanna jogged over to Waldo and said expectantly, "Waldo, every ti you level up by ten levels, you gain an ability. This ti, reaching level fifty, besides Shadow Clone, you must have obtained another ability, right?"
Helen also turned her attention to Waldo, having forgotten that he had gained two rare and potentially powerful abilities all at once due to their earlier excitent.
Waldo nodded with a smile. "Of course, I have a fifth ability. However, I was busy experinting with Shadow Clone just now, and I haven't had a chance to explore the fifth ability yet."
Next, Waldo began to experint with the use of his new ability.
The fifth ability, Petrification.
"I think I should know what kind of ability this is. Follow ," Waldo said.
He left their temporary shelter and headed outside. The nearby streets had already been cleared of zombies by Waldo and his group, but he quickly found a regular zombie huddled in a corner.
"Watch closely," Waldo reminded them.
Without any haste, Waldo approached the ordinary zombie that had suddenly appeared in front of him after his upgraded teleportation, showing a more effortless use of this ability.
"Roar!"
The ordinary zombie, seeing a human suddenly appear in front of it, let out a roar, its face twisted in a hideous manner, ready to pounce.
"Hmph," Waldo coldly snorted, his eyes coldly fixed on the approaching creature.
At the last mont, Waldo's lips finally moved, and he uttered two words.
Petrification!
As these words left his lips, sothing eerie happened!
"Roar!"
The zombie's roaring abruptly stopped. The ordinary zombie that was about to lunge at Waldo suddenly froze in place. Soon, a gray layer appeared on the surface of its skin, like a rocky substance.
In the next mont, its body rapidly transford into a stone-like statue, visible to the naked eye.
"What's going on?" the startled cries of the two won echoed from a distance. They hurriedly approached, staring in astonishnt at the now petrified zombie.
At this mont, the zombie resembled a stone statue.
Curious, Helen reached out and touched the petrified zombie.
It had the texture of stone.
Helen took a deep breath, sowhat incredulous. "Does the Petrification ability turn other things, even living creatures, into stone? If that's the case, can the zombies turned into stone still be considered alive?"
"No, they can't survive; they're already dead," Waldo explained.
He continued, "The zombies turned into stone are not just an external transformation; it includes their muscle tissues, brains, and internal organs. Everything is petrified."
"Is it really that powerful? You didn't even lift a finger, just looked at the zombie, and it turned into stone. Your eyes must be like deadly weapons," Helen marveled, a touch of envy in her voice.
Alanna also marveled, saying, "So, you can kill without leaving a trace in the future. If soone rubs you the wrong way, one look from you, and they turn into stone. That's incredibly powerful!"
However, she was sowhat perplexed as Waldo cut her off with a wry smile. "It's not that simple. Using the Petrification ability will consu my ntal power, so it's not sothing I can use casually."
Waldo paused for a mont, then continued, "Moreover, this ability has limitations. Regular zombies might turn to stone with just a glance, but if I encounter a Level 3 zombie, I might need physical contact to petrify it."
His considerations were not without reason. If this ability could simply turn any zombie to stone with a glance, regardless of whether it was a regular, Level 2, or even a Level 3 zombie, it would be overpowered, like a ga bug. Therefore, the possibility of that happening was very low.
Waldo suggested, "We can try it to confirm my hypothesis."
Waldo decided to seek out Level 2 and Level 3 zombies in the West district to validate his assumptions.
On a street in the West district, a massive and powerful Level 2 zombie, seemingly agitated by sothing, roared furiously and charged toward Waldo. However, under Waldo's watchful gaze, this robust Level 2 zombie began to petrify.
The petrification started from its legs, spreading rapidly to other parts of its body, clearly visible to the naked eye. Soon, not much ti had passed, and when this Level 2 zombie reached Waldo, it had already turned into a stone statue.
With a gentle push, the statue collapsed, breaking into three pieces.
Just at that mont, Alanna suddenly scread, "Waldo, be careful! There's a zombie behind you!"
Without waiting for Alanna to finish her sentence, Waldo swiftly turned around, facing the Level 2 zombie rushing towards him.
This zombie erged from a nearby alley, filled with various debris, so Waldo hadn't noticed it.
A Level 2 zombie. If it were before, I might have to be cautious, but now, it poses no threat at all! This is perfect!
Waldo coldly snorted.
In such unexpected situations, it would be dangerous for anyone else. For an average survivor at Level 20 or even Level 30, if not dealt with promptly, it could be life-threatening. But for Waldo, such circumstances were nonexistent.
