บท 10: I thought the plan was to go as silently as possible

On the third floor, Ashton stopped. He saw dead people slowly walking and knocking on each and every door with kicks, destroying them, and then entering to check if there was someone.

Their motive was simple.

Find, kill, and eat.

Ashton turned and looked at Matt and whispered, "Go back."

Matt didn't ask anything as he made his way to the fourth floor.

"Awakens are entering the building. There are six on the third floor. They are checking all the rooms. What do we do?" Ashton asked patiently.

"We need to get out of this building as quickly as possible. So, we run, kill those who came close to us, and leave those who left behind."

"Do not stop. You must run without looking back. No need to kill all of them. We just need to kill those who get in our way. Understand?" Matt Asked.

Ashton nodded his head, "I'll be in front. You stay behind."

Matt took a deep breath and nodded.

Then both got back to the third floor and saw only two dead awakens moving slowly.

One had a face towards them, while the other one was looking in a different direction.

Matt knocked Ashton's shoulder slowly.

Ashton turned his head.

"Target their head," Matt whispered.

Ashton nodded, took a deep breath, and gave an ok sign. It was time to make a move.

Ashton's whole body turned ironed. His hands became sharp long knives and then he ran with his full might.

The awaken who was looking at them growled, "GARRRRRRRRR." But other than that, it couldn't do anything.

Ashton directly pierced its head and moved on. Matt from behind slashed his sword and cut the other one into two halves.

It all happened within a second. Then they ran.

Matt looked at the cards and whispered, "Collect."

The card flew and entered his body.

Matt smirked. He was right. There was no way anyone would have a chance or time to collect cards while fighting. He just tried a trick and it worked.

If it hadn't, he would have left the cards behind. After all, their lives mattered more than the darn cards right now.

They ran towards the second floor. Leaving the other four dead awakened inside the room. Then they stop.

They both looked in front of them. Half of the corridor was filled with the dead awaken. There must be more than 15. And they all turned towards them.

Ashton froze. But Matt didn't. This was something within his calculation and he slashed his blade with all his might while whispering, "Indiscriminate Slaughter."

A windy silent transparent gale moved from his slashed blade. Just like a tornado but it didn't make any sound.

The sight looked beautiful. A Cone-shaped windy tornado moved from the sword sharp front and everything within sight was destroyed.

All the dead awaken were gone.

Only 17 floating cards left.

All the ten rooms had their doors destroyed. The floor crumbled and then the loud boom resounded, and with that, the leftover debris fell.

Indiscriminate Slaughter: A powerful physical slash attack against multiple enemies. Inflicts 200% damage in a 50*4 yard in a cone in front of you. Cooldown: 9 seconds.

Indiscriminate Slaughter as its name sounded truly slaughtered indiscriminately. Nothing left.

"I thought the plan was to go as silently as possible." Ashton broke the silence.

"It was." Matty himself was in shock. That. Was. So. Fucking. Out. Of. This. World.

"Remind me not to get on your wrong side ever. Like ever." Ashton said as he looked at Matt.

Matt blinked. Then nodded.

"Let's move," Ashton whispered as he made his way to the first floor and then became speechless.

The first floor was full of dead ones. And they were clearly waiting for them.

Matt, on the other hand, just nodded his head, came in front, and slashed his blade, but this time he whispered, "Ceaseless Slaughter."

A bloody red wind gale came out from the pointy sharp front of Matt's sword. Silent like before.

But this time there were small faces on the wind. Every type of face, humans, monsters, demons, devils.

There were thousands of them, they moved, and they ate.

This all happened within a second and everything was gone. Nothing left. More than 30 dead walkers were nowhere to be seen.

Ceaseless Slaughter: A powerful magical slash attack against multiple enemies. Inflicts 200% damage in a 50*4 yard in a cone in front of you.

It truly was a Ceaseless Slaughter. Not even walls were left behind this time. Everywhere those faces went, they ate.

"Run." Matt cried as he hurriedly ran to the ground floor while collecting the cards.

Ashton was speechless and scared shitless. There were no walls left. Fuck. Does Matt want to kill both of them including those dead?

They both ran. Again, the ground floor was filled with dead people.

"GARRRRRRR." They growled as they all ran towards them.

Matt without even giving a damn about them slashed his blade. 9 seconds had passed since he used Indiscriminate Slaughter so he could again use it now, and he did, and again, a windy gale came and destroyed everything with 50*4 yards in a cone.

Ashton didn't care. He hurriedly picked Matt and ran out of the building. Cuz this time even destroyed the pillars.

If before the building had a chance to keep standing. Now, even that chance was lost.

And he was right. The moment they get out of the building. It crumbled.

Ashton ran behind the two cars. Covered himself with his Iron body and hugged Matt tightly.

With a boom, the building fell, and a shockwave passed by. Both cars nearly flew away.

Ashton protected Matt with all his might until the silence descended.

"A-Ash," Matt whispered as he felt pain all over his body. He also felt thirsty and hungry. Using those skills made him weak.

It was as if something left his body every time he used those skills, making him both mentally and physically exhausted.

"I am fine," Ashton said in a somewhat whispery voice as he felt immense pain all over his body, while his body went back to normal.

Matt didn't believe him in the least but he was the same. Right now, they needed to get out of here. Dead people would all rush here now that they heard such a loud commotion.
