Chapter 36: Battle with Fury Zombie (1)
His terror filled scream frightened the rest of the group. They turned to the source of the cry they had just heard and saw a giant, muscular zombie covered with blood, standing where the man was once holding a mace.
Matthew heard the freezing bones scream, too, and then turned toward the scream after killing his seventh zombie in this new battle. It was not hard to find the source because he saw a terrifying scene he would never forget; a giant muscular zombie had just blown one of Tom's companions into a haze of blood. Despite the shock he felt, he quickly regained himself and focused on the giant zombie. Then, a screen appeared in his vision.
[FURY ZOMBIE TIER 1] [RANK: F]
STR: 4.50 AGI: 0.50 STA: INFINITE CONS: 4.50 INT: 0.00 WIS: 0.00
Description: A zombie that evolved because of the immense fury it felt for all living beings. His only desire is the extinction of everything that still has a vital sign. He greatly improved strength and constitution in exchange for agility, intelligence, and wisdom.
Matthew froze in fear as he saw the description of this new zombie. Compared to what the zombie won, he lost almost nothing. At this stage this zombie was basically a slaughter machine. If he left that zombie alive, probably all who were fighting would die. Matthew then quickly killed the two remaining zombies he was facing and commanded Little Black to finish off the last zombie and go help him in the battle against the zombie fury.
As Matthew started to run toward the fury zombie, it turned toward a man who wielded a staff and had a skill to manipulate water and ran toward him. Although the fury zombie was extremely slow, due to its superior size compared to an ordinary person and its great strength, each step it took was equivalent to three or four steps of an ordinary human. The frightened man saw that fury zombie was heading toward him and manipulated the water to trap the zombie in a water bubble.
The water began to gather around the body of the fury zombie and formed a bubble that trapped him. Seeing his water bubble successfully trapped the fury zombie in it, the man was relieved. But it was only for a few seconds. He soon paled when his water bubble, which was as sturdy as an iron bar, exploded as if it were nothing.
After bursting the water bubble, the fury zombie had started his pursuit again. Out of fear, the man tried to run but he forgot that there were still a few zombies behind him. In a moment of recklessness caused by fear, he took a punch and when he fell to the ground, they began to devour him as he screamed in agony.
The fury zombie then stopped chasing him and as he was about to turn to run towards another person, Matthew came and cut with the sword toward the waist of the fury zombie. Matthew stopped and turned to face the fury zombie and was surprised when he saw that he had only left a cut in the flesh of the fury zombie.
The fury zombie was infuriated by a living being able to hit him and hit the ground with both arms. The ground then cracked from impact and it began to run toward Matthew, trying to take revenge on the damage he suffered. Cold sweat started to form on Matthew's body when he saw that powerful zombie running towards him but he recovered and ran towards the zombie as well.
When the fury zombie and Matthew were extremely close, it struck a punch so hard that it was visible to see the air twisting around the fist. Matthew dodged to the right of the arm of the fury zombie and cut in the direction of the arm. He kept running even though he felt a piercing pain coming from his ears and realized that his ears were bleeding.
Matthew then realized that he was not just bleeding; he could not hear any sound either. Matthew started to get desperate when he realized that his eardrum probably had burst from the strong punch earlier but soon calmed down and decided he would finish the zombie fury first and then try to solve it later.
Matthew then turned around and saw that fury zombie was extremely enraged and began to roar -- Matthew thought he was roaring since he could not comprehend any word from it.
He frowned when he thought it was unbelievable that he could not hurt the zombie fatally. For this zombie, everything he was doing was probably like an annoying fly that did not die.
Matthew had just left the fury zombie with some minor injuries, nothing that would make it easier to fight him. It seemed like he would have to face a difficult battle. As he was pondering about his chances in this battle, Matthew felt Little Black approaching and put a smile on his face as he thought, "Let's start the fight."
