Kapitel 35: Fury

After that short speech, the group felt more encouraged and ready to start the new battle. They raised their weapons in the air as if they were celebrating and preparing for the battles they would face today. Then, they ran out into the horde again.

The horde seemed completely dead, all the zombies stood as if they were statues, but when they heard some noise or they smelled of a living being, the zombies began to act intensely looking for the reason. That was what happened when the group that was fighting with Matthew and Bethany were getting closer to the zombies. They seemed to come alive and began to try to devour the cause of their disturbance.

When they finally reached ten meters, the zombies that were ahead of the horde began to run toward the living creatures that were coming toward them. Their eyes were boiling with intense rage, as if anyone who was approaching them were the biggest enemies their lives.

The small part of the zombie horde and the humans then finally collided and began to fight each other; more specifically, the living beings were killing them while they couldn't touch any of the humans.

One of the groups of zombies that had been drawn from the horde were battling a human who wielded a mace. There were thorny vines sticking out of his body. These thorny vines were continually beating and disturbing the movement of the zombies. Although the thorny vines were still not strong enough to kill the zombies, but even the root them still disturbed the already low combat power of the zombies.

The human who was wielding the mace controlled the thorny vines to control the rhythm of the zombies and be able to fight individually with each zombie and thus lessen the danger he faced. Everything was happening normally for this human, when he used the usual tactic and began to kill the zombies. In a moment of the battle, he hit the mace on the leg of a zombie, successfully broke it and then the zombie fell to the ground.

When this human was going to crush the zombie's head with the mace as he always did, a zombie managed to get rid of the vines and ran towards the man and tried to punch him. The man then ignored the zombie he had knocked over and started fighting with the other zombies. Planning to kill the zombie he had crippled last, he used the thorny vines to root the zombie to be able to fight with the other zombies who were trying to get rid of it.

This particular zombie tried to get rid of the thorny vines but failed. It was already difficult for the undead zombie to escape the thorny vines, let alone a zombie without legs, so it was impossible to escape this skill. But, as the zombie reacted instinctively and began to try to escape the skill, the zombie began to feel an intense fury growing in his body. He continued to try to escape the skill for a few minutes as the fury began to grow in his body.

The zombie's body then began to tingle; not that he could feel anything since he was already dead. But, the man who wielded the mace obviously couldn't see this phenomenon. He was still killing the zombies that were trapped in his domain, feeling glad that his skill were getting better and better since it all began.

This man was already at level four, almost leveling to level five. As soon as they eliminated that small group that was drawn from the horde, he would level up again and could evolve his skill to uncommon grade when he put a skill point on it. He already imagined how strong he would be after this and was feeling more and more excited and began to think that he could be the chosen one to guide humanity out of this calamity.

As he felt more and more excited as he killed the zombies, he heard an order from Tom, asking them to retreat. He turned and saw everyone was holding the line and did not need to back down, but decided to obey the order. So, he followed the order, unwilling to risk his life and then began to back away as he killed the zombies that chased him and backed towards the zombie he had arrested to kill later. When he was retreating and killing the zombies, he felt the vines that were behind him breaking. He killed the zombie in front of him and turned horrified for fear of the monster that was behind him and was destroying his vines easily.

When he turned around, he saw an eight foot tall zombie; the zombie's body was extremely muscular and had a pair of red eyes that seemed to contain all the fury of the world running toward him. He then let out a scream as he saw the giant zombie's fist heading toward him and before he knew it, he burst into a haze of blood. His thorny vines then began to wither and turn to dust.

His terror filled scream frightened the rest of the group. They turned towards 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.
