Chapter 4: The Brawler
"This motherfucker..."
Pati curses the guy who is running straight at him.
It's not that long since he ran away fearing the butcher knife Pati will use if he met him again, but the guy came back running bringing an eight feet muscular zombie on his back! Dozens if not hundreds of cursed words skimmed past Pati's brain cursing the guy even more.
Every step the muscular Zombie takes thuds from its heavy weight, and looking at its appearance Pati knows that this one is a way higher-leveled Zombie than the Walker he killed.
With heavy breaths, the guy runs to Pati's back hiding while pointing at the muscular Zombie.
"That thing is near the front entrance, help me get rid of it!", the guy exclaimed.
Hearing this, Pati got even more annoyed. He glares at the guy sharply while the muscular Zombie is nearing the before he asks, "Why did you bring it here? Are you nuts?!"
"You killed those Zombies earlier, so you handle this!", the guy replied shamelessly.
Pati looks at the guy blankly with a fit of bubbling anger slowly rising up in his chest, he subconsciously swings his hand and slaps the guy right on his cheek solidly.
"What was that for?!", the guy glared back while touching his burning cheek.
Pati blinks his eyes a couple of times before he replied with a nonchalant look, "My hand is baffled by your stupidity and decided to move on its own, don't blame me for slapping you"
"The fuck kind of logic is that?!"
Instantly after Pati heard the guy say that his eyes flash as if he was waiting for Pati to ask that question or similar to that question, "AHA! That's your kind of logic for leading that thing to me!
"But you did kill those Zombies", the guy mutters while pointing at the dead Zombies.
Hearing this, Pati can't help but smack him on his cheek again before pointing at the dead Zombies with the muscular Zombie just beside them, "Are you blind?! Do the Zombies I killed look remotely like that thing?!"
"Oh... now that you said it like that", the guy scratches the back of his head.
Looking at this, Pati was at a loss for words. The guy's expression is that of someone apologizing for bringing a dog to a conventional cat party, but in reality, he brought a fucking bear instead!
Growl!
Pati saw that the muscular Zombie that is missing an eye is already charging at him.
Since this muscular Zombie's body is very big about eight feet and jacked like a bodybuilder, it fell from descending the stairs just like the Zombies he killed. This is why Pati has the luxury to curse the guy to his satisfaction.
"What are you going to do?", the guy asks pretending to be serious.
Hearing this, Pati cracks a smirk before he replied while preparing himself to dodge the charge of the muscular Zombie, "I'm gonna give you to him as a sacrifice"
"Don't joke like that, you would never... we're college friends!", the guy cracks a nervous chuckle.
But seeing the smirk on Pati's face makes his face turns pale realizing that if it's Pati the one who eats the human brain, giving him up to the muscular Zombie can practically happen for real. Pati might not be joking.
"Dodge!", Pati shouted pushing the guy to the side.
Boom!
Clasping both of its hands into a hammer, the muscular Zombie growls before slamming its fist at Pati and the guy. In the nick of time, they manage to dodge it but both of them were shocked to see seven feet craters on the concrete ground.
It was devastatingly powerful, one hit will probably kill a human even with the shelter of a car.
Pati recovers from dodging the attack before he immediately gets up and runs at the muscular Zombie, he jumped just beside the muscular Zombie that is sluggishly pulling its hands from the concrete ground.
Using the butcher knife in his hand, he then swung it powerfully aiming for the neck.
Clang!
With the addition of the chaos he distributed to the strength stat and also raising to level 2, Pati's strength stat sits at an astonishing 24 points. It's more than two times stronger than a regular adult, even the force of his hit can be felt.
But just like the Walker, this muscular Zombie's skin is very tough just like steel.
Realizing that his attack despite having 24 strength stat is not effective, Pati widens his eyes in surprise. Even his arm is trembling because of the hardness of the muscular Zombie's skin.
Growl!
Swinging its massive arm, Pati manages to dodge it by jumping away in time.
The muscular Zombies' movement is quite slow because of its massive body, but definitely more nimble than the Walkers. Both of them went back and forth. Pati will wait to dodge the attack from the muscular Zombie before he counterattacked, it's a great tactic.
One hit from the muscular Zombie might just end him, so he needs to be careful.
While looking at the fight between Pati and the muscular Zombie, the guy's eyes widen in shock. The scene in front of him is quite astonishing, Pati manages to fight the muscular Zombie on even ground.
Despite his attack hardly scratching the muscular Zombie's skin, he's still battling against the muscular Zombie without backing down.
'Is he always this battle maniac? He looks like a geek', the guy thought.
Contrary to the guy's thought seeing the maniac smile on Pati's face as if he enjoyed the fight, the truth is that Pati is excited about the Chaos he will gain from the muscular Zombie and also the taste of the muscular Zombie's brain.
'Walker? Already tried that. But big Walker? Now that pique my interest', Pati thought.
But he did too much dwelling in his thought and didn't realize a fist is heading at him, Pati's eyes widen realizing the fist but he has no time to dodge. With so little time to think, he can only cross his arms in front of him preparing for the blow.
Bam!
"Arghh!"
From that one hit, Pati got sent crashing to the wall before bouncing off of it.
'What the fuck?! My arms are numb!', Pati thought while kneeling on the ground with his arms trembling, he looks down and saw that his arms are bruised and blue.
The guy who is rooting for Pati from the side has his face drained from all colors.
He knows how powerful the muscular Zombie's attack was from how it destroyed the ground, a direct hit like that to a normal human is a freaking death sentence.
"YO! Are you okay?!", the guy shouted from the side.
But as soon as he shouted that, he realized that he has did a huge mistake.
The muscular Zombie turns its attention from Pati to the guy slowly, it's crooked face decorated with ruby eyes glances at the guy slowly. Chill makes the guy's body stiff feeling his heart dropped seeing the muscular Zombie look at him.
Slowly stepping back not intending to trigger the muscular Zombie, the impending feeling that the muscular Zombie will charge at him makes fear grip his heart tightly.
No matter how dumb their encounter was, this is the apocalypse and he can really die here.
Just as he was about to turn around and run away, Pati suddenly jumped on the muscular Zombie making it stumbles around trying to grab Pati with its big hands.
Blood is leaking from the corner of Pati's mouth, but he held on desperately.
'If your skin is that hard, then what about your other eye? I bet it's going to be a bitch to not have eyes', Pati thought as a smile bloomed on his face, he jabbed his hand into the muscular Zombie's remaining eye making it roar angrily.
Grabbing the eyeball, Pati pulls it out in one swift motion before blood gushed out.
Roar!!
The muscular Zombie becomes berserk, it swings its arms randomly trying to hit or even crush Pati with its superior strength. But with no eyes to see, the muscular Zombie is practically attacking the air.
Pati jumped off the muscular Zombie that is still wailing,
Boom!
Boom!
With no eyes to see, it seems the muscular Zombie can't really sense Pati or even the guy watching it going berserk. Still, the muscular Zombie tries to hit anything making a loud crashing sound every time its hand hits something.
"This is going to attract other Zombies! What should we do?!", the guy exclaimed.
Hearing this, Pati also frowns since the only spot he can really hurt and possibly kill the muscular Zombie is through its eyes. The brain is just on the other side of the eye socket, crushing it will kill the muscular Zombie.
But with the berserk state, coming near it will definitely mean death.
Somehow the muscular Zombie stopped wailing before glancing at Pati and the guy's direction, it seems he now relies on its hearing. Pati puts his index finger on his mouth before he points at his ears signaling the guy to be quiet since the muscular Zombie can hear him.
Just like a jackass, the guy then asks with a rather loud voice, "Is that sign language? Are you a boy scout in high school?"
Pati face-palm himself, the voice attracted the muscular Zombie as it charges at them.
With no eyes to see, Pati and the guy are able to dodge its charge rather easily. The muscular Zombie crashes at the flag pole in the middle of the place before tumbling it over.
Clang!
After the loud clanging sound, Pati heard many other Zombies growling in the far distance.
By the sound of the growling there are many of them which probably come from outside of the university hearing the roar and loud sounds the muscular Zombie created, "Let's just leave and find a safe place first, we're going to be surrounded if we stay here"
The guy then intends to enter the university again but stopped seeing Pati didn't move.
"If you stay here, you're going to be surrounded and die. Look at your arms, you're not in a condition to fight", the guy added trying to pressure Pati to come with him.
But Pati is looking at the muscular Zombie that is standing up, 'I can't leave it here'
'How many Chaos will I gain and also its brain needs to be added to my taste bud's collection, I can't give it up!', Pati thought hesitating to leave, but it's hard to kill the muscular Zombie if it doesn't stay still.
Just as he was about to leave, his eyes fall onto the pole the muscular Zombie tumbled over.
After looking at the pole that has a sharp end because of getting broken by the muscular Zombie, Pati's eyes flash as he got an idea. But to execute that idea, he needs to test how heavy the pole is.
Pati circles the muscular Zombie heading to the pole before he signals to the guy to create a noise, this time thankfully the guy gets what Pati means.
Taking debris on the side, the guy throws it at the wall beside him.
Hearing this, the muscular Zombie snaps back its head back before running to the source of the sound direction, it crashes onto the wall and gives Pati time to check the pole.
Lifting the pole up, Pati finds that he can actually lift it up.
A smile appears on his face, he lifts up the pole slowly trying to not hit it on something and make a sound. Going to the nearest wall on his back, Pati positioned the dull part of the pole against the wall with the sharp part in front of it.
With how he's holding, it looks as if he's holding a spear in his hand.
The guy looks at Pati curiously seeing that he's up to something. Pati then looks at the muscular Zombie before he whistled, "Hey you! I'm right here!"
Rawrr?
Just like before, the muscular Zombie charges at Pati like a raging bull.
Pati positioned the sharp edge of the pole right about the muscular Zombie's head, he tightened the pole in his hands preparing for the muscular Zombie to charge right at it.
With its power, holding the pole on his own will not do the job.
So Pati decided to use the wall to his advantage just so he can sustain the muscular Zombie's strength, and when the muscular Zombie is just in front of him,
Stab!
Boom!!
Just like as he planned in his mind, the muscular Zombie charges straight onto the sharp edge of the pole that Pati positioned to pierce its head. The strength still surprises Pati it works well with this plan. Basically, Pati uses the raw strength of the muscular Zombie toward itself. He needs to steady the pole but the pole manages to pierce through its hollow eye socket and its brain.
[Gained a level 8 Brawler Chaos!]
[Class restriction has been employed, unable to absorb gained Chaos!]
[You have reached level 3...]
[You have reached level 4! All stats have been increased accordingly]
Rows of messages from the system popped into Pati's vision showing that the muscular Zombie called Brawler is dead, he reached level four thanks to this brawler.
"Woah... We did it!", the guy approaches Pati while looking at the Brawler and exclaimed.
Somehow hearing that the guy said we did it makes Pati quite annoyed, he breaths roughly feeling his body very sore before glaring at the guy, "The fuck you mean we did it? I did it!"
"Oh come one, don't be salty. I brought this zombie to you so I contribute too", the guy replied.
But the fatigue Pati is feeling right now makes him exhale roughly not intending to argue with the guy anymore, then his eyes fall onto a couple of objects that seeped out of the Brawler's corpse, "Hmm, What is that?"
