Chapter 24: Handling the Guard

As the zombie's strength decreased, its speed increased. Suddenly, it stopped from its convulsing and then begin its attack again.

The zombie swung its ax as hard as it could. It was trying to cut through Leon's abdomen.

But the attack was blocked by Albert with his dagger.

The ax head collided with Albert's dagger. With a loud clang, Albert's dagger broke into pieces. Fortunately, he still got one more dagger.

A second later the zombie's ax was on Leon's side. It happened so fast that neither Leon nor Albert realized it.

The ax was swinging down while Leon was holding his machete in front of him.

He couldn't afford to hold anything else while fighting this monster.

Finally, the ax struck Leon's machete.

*CLANG!*

And then the ax was stuck in Leon's machete.

"FUUUUCK HARGGGHH!" Leon yelled.

The zombie pressed its body against Leon and rammed its giant ax with great speed into Leon's machete.

"Leon!"

Rosie screamed. She was watching the situation from afar.

She ran to help Leon even though she knew that her Magic Power was running low.

When she felt she was close, Rosie swung her electrified hammer at the back of the zombie's head.

Unexpectedly, the zombie immediately turned its head back as it noticed Rosie's arrival. It removed one hand from the ax and swung it at Rosie.

*BUAGHHH!*

Rosie was sent flying before her hammer could hit the zombie's head.

She has thrown over the shelves containing food before finally hitting the wall and coming to a stop.

Rosie fell on the floor. She felt excruciating pain in her ribs.

'Shit! looks like I broke my rib.'

Rosie winced in pain. After her Magic Power ran out, now she had to endure the pain of broken ribs. Plus, it doesn't look like the big zombie will be going down anytime soon.

'What should we do?'

Leon and Albert were of course worried about Rosie. However, their circumstances are not much different, so they can't do anything.

Leon realized that his machete was broken. There was a part in the blade of the machete that was shattered by the giant zombie's axe.

"HGGRRAAAHH!"

The zombie roared loudly. Then it ran towards Leon and Albert while raising its giant axe.

Leon gritted his teeth seeing the giant zombie approaching. He had not the slightest intention of running because he knew what he was capable of.

Instead, Leon darted toward the zombie.

"HAAAAA!" he shouted.

The giant ax descended toward his head. Leon threw down his machete and raised both hands to catch the ax blade.

Leon knew that the giant zombie's strength had been greatly reduced.

And its speed also increased drastically. Because of that Leon was quite confident he could stop the swing of the giant axe.

"Urghh..." he groaned.

He managed to catch the axe, but the force behind the swing was still quite large even though it had been much reduced.

"Attack now!"

Albert dashed towards the zombie after Leon shouted.

The giant zombie tried to lift its ax from Leon's grip but to no avail.

Leon moved his hand swiftly towards the giant ax's hilt, preventing the zombie from pulling it again.

"I won't let you!" Says Leon.

Albert came and immediately thrust his dagger into the zombie's eye. At least what was left of his eyes.

*CRAAAT!*

Albert's dagger pierced the zombie's eye easily. Unlike before, it felt like the giant zombie's body was even more fragile than before.

"GRAAAHHH!!!"

The giant zombie seemed to be screaming in great pain. Of course, none of the five of them empathized with its pain.

Instead, they were happy to hear that they managed to inflict pain on the zombie.

Rosie, who was still kneeling in the corner of the store, stared at the zombie with a grin on her face.

Even though she felt pain, seeing the zombie also feel pain made her relieved.

Suddenly Lola came towards her. She seemed to be coming from the glass wall that had already been destroyed behind the store.

"You alright?" she asked.

"I'm fine. Urghh..."

Even though she said she was fine, Lola could see that something was wrong with her ribs.

"We'd better get away from here," Lola said.

Rosie didn't argue because she knew Leon and Albert would be able to handle it on their own.

Her presence here could have been a nuisance. So Rosie went outside with Lola's help.

Wiley on the other hand had turned to the other side of the store so he could throw his blob on point.

Wiley heard the zombie's screams of agony and grinned happily.

'A little more!' Wiley said in his heart.

Wiley created another purple poison blob in his hand. Then threw it toward the giant zombie.

*PLOP!*

The purple blob hit its back. Decay and poison spread quickly and seeped into its back.

Because of the purple blob that Wiley threw, the giant zombie became even weaker.

He fell to that knee and the grip on the ax loosened.

Knowing this, Leon pulled the ax from the zombie's hand.

Leon felt that he could still hold the ax even though it was quite heavy.

So Leon immediately grabbed the handle of the ax and was ready to swing it at the zombie.

"GO!"

Albert, who previously attacked the zombie fiercely, immediately made his body transparent when he heard Leon's scream.

"HYAAAAARGHHH!"

Leon swung the giant ax at the giant zombie's head with all his might.

Chapter 25: The Rewards

The ax swung down from above. The zombie's rotten, maggot-infested eyes widened.

If there was even a hint of emotion or awareness In them, it would know that its end was very near by now.

*CRRAAAATTT!*

Red and gray liquid splattered all over the place as the blade of the giant ax stuck in its head.

The giant zombie's hands that had been flailing wildly now fell paralyzed beside its body.

Its mouth gaped wide and it let out a groan that accompanied whatever was keeping it alive.

Leon released his grip on the giant axe.

After he let go, the giant zombie's body fell to the side along with the axe.

*CLANNGG!*

A loud thud was heard as the ax's rusty iron handle fell onto the store floor.

After that, a notification appeared before the eyes of each of them.

[ Congratulations! you have succeeded in defeating The Guardian (Grade B) ]

[Rewards: 500 Exp. ]

The five people immediately widened their eyes.

They all gain 500 Exp simultaneously. Even though it was Leon who delivered the killing blow to the giant zombie.

Wiley cheered with Lola beside him. They were able to cheer like that because they didn't fight directly with the giant zombies.

Meanwhile, Leon and Albert slumped on the floor of the store and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Rosie, who was next to Lola, was no different.

Although she smiled, her smile was weak. Because she had to bear the pain in her ribs.

"We can open the box now," Wiley said. He then approached Rosie.

"Can you walk?" Wiley asked Rosie.

Rosie didn't answer instead she tried to stand up. But then she fell back with a groan.

"Hmm, I guess you can't."

Wiley reached out to help Rosie up.

Rosie didn't say anything and just put her arm around Wiley's shoulder.

Wiley, Rosie, and Lola walked into the store following Albert and Leon who was already standing in front of the Supply Cache.

"What should we do? We just have to touch it?" Wiley asked.

"I think so," Leon replied.

But they couldn't find a handle that might be something to use to open this box.

So, Leon then decided to extend his hand towards the box.

As soon as he touched it a clacking sound was heard.

The box began to open in four different directions. The five of them immediately stepped back.

But then they immediately approached again after knowing what was in the box.

There are four different weapons and an orange orb in the box.

The weapons were a fifty-centimeter-long short sword, a hammer that seemed to give off a bluish glow, a thirty-centimeter-long black blow dart, and a pair of daggers with silver blades.

Besides that weapon, the orange orb looks different.

"Is our reward?" Wiley asked.

Leon and Albert walked closer to the city. While Wiley just stayed where he was and let them check it out.

"It seems so," Leon said.

Leon then lowered his head and extended his hand towards the short sword.

When Leon finally grabbed the hilt, he expected something to happen. But nothing happened.

So Leon raised the sword. As soon as Leon brought the sword to his face, a Window containing the sword's simple description appeared.

[ Name: Black Silence Sword. (Upgradable) ]

[ Type: Melee Weapon. ]

[ Grade: B. ]

Leon had a smile tugging at his lips.

"This is a grade B weapon!" Leon exclaimed.

"What?" Albert looked at him then looked at the sword in his hand with a look of disbelief.

Then Albert immediately approached the box to take his weapon.

Wiley, Lola, and Rosie also drew closer to the opened box. They scanned every remaining weapon.

"I think these weapons are adapted to the weapons we use and our fighting style," Albert said.

Without thinking any further, Albert took the pair of silver daggers.

[ Name: Double Fang Daggers (Upgradable) ]

[ Type: Melee Weapon. ]

[ Grade: B. ]

"This is really a Grade B weapon," Albert muttered as he studied his new weapon.

Wiley, Lola, and Rosie also grabbed weapons that they thought fit them.

Rosie of course took the hammer with the bluish glow. That meant only a blow dart and an orb left for Wiley and Lola.

Rosie looked at the hammer in her hand and a Window appeared.

[ Name: Thunder Eater Hammer. (Updgradable) ]

[ Type: Melee Weapon. ]

[ Grade: B. ]

"What's this?" Wiley was confused as he picked up the blow dart.

He had never known that a weapon like this existed before.

"That's a blow dart," Rosie said. "Something the tribes used to shoot poison darts."

"Oh, that one." Wiley nodded his head. "In that case, it does suit me."

[ Name: Fullgrim Blow Dart. (Upgradable) ]

[ Type: Ranged Weapon. ]

[ Grade: B ]

In that case, only the orange orb would be left for Lola.

The orb was about five centimeters in diameter and fit in Lola's hand.

[ Name: Magic Orb (Lv.2) (Upgradeable) ]

[ Type: Magic Item (Rare). ]

[ Grade: B. ]

"It says Magic Orb. What is this?" Lola asked those around her.

She scanned the orb, turning it several times but found nothing.

"Maybe it's something that can grant Magic Power?" Wiley made a suggestion.

"If that's true, this orb will be very useful," Lola muttered with a smile.

After successfully defeating the giant zombies and getting better rewards than they expected, the five decided to leave the store and gas station.

The sun was higher than they had last remembered. Indicates that the new day enters the time around ten or eleven in the afternoon.

There is still a long day until this day ends. But so far have been pretty good for them.

The green poisonous smoke still lingered around. Their gas masks are cracked in several places but still function properly to prevent them from turning into zombies.

"Should we take the same Quest tonight?" Wiley asked with a smile after knowing they got such a good reward.

"No," Leon said. "I'm thinking of taking a higher rank Quest."

"I think that's a good idea," Albert said. "I think that with Grade B weapons, our combat ability will improve a lot. After all, the rewards from Quests with higher ranks will be much better."
