Chereads / Zombie Harem with a System / Chapter 41 - PLEASE END THIS OR END ME!

Chapter 41 - PLEASE END THIS OR END ME!

Right after finishing our sentence, another grumble disrupted our train of thoughts. We all stood from the ground and spotted the slime we witnessed before charging in our way.

"OH, NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN?!" I roared, and shielded the two siblings with my hands. "Asami, Touma, get away as fast as you can before…."

Before I could complete my sentence, the perverted slime disappeared from our sight. It dove underground and never gave us hints where it would appear again. Not a single sound resonated inside the streets, except for the three of us. And that happened within a few minutes, which made us wonder in fear.

However, that false thought sharpened when the concrete road rumbled. The quiver did not disrupt our balance, but it was enough to catch our attention. All of us leered beneath our feet, waiting for any moment for that slime to emerge.

"SHIELD! ASAMI, USE YOUR SHIELD BELOW OUR FEET!" I commanded, while drawing a circle from where we stood. "You have a system! You should probably know what to do!"

"What do you mean a system?" the girl asked, while writing billions of question marks on her face. "I don't understand what you're saying!"

"Have you ever played RPG…. role-playing games or anything in your life besides yourself? Like literally anything that involves levelling up?!"

"The last time I played a game, it was Mario!" the girl replied.

"JESUS, FUCK!" I cursed, and tried to kick it up a notch. "Listen, even Mario has these weird powers. He could use it to summon the squirrel or star. Think of it, you have those powers. But your power is creating a shield, okay?"

I explained everything to Asami, who didn't have any background in games. And for fuck's sake, Asami didn't even read magical books or fantasy that would bring her into a different world. She must have had a strenuous life in her cave-like home, doing nothing but chores. I would also bet Asami was the type of normal girl on the streets who eyed games as a ludicrous recreation.

But despite these differences, I explained the things Asami needed. All those words I told her about were in my simplest terms, especially the Mario part. If Asami still couldn't understand those references, I swore to god that….

"Okay…. I understand," Asami murmured to herself, and focused all her energy on her hands. "It's just like Harry Potter, right?"

"No, but…. You know what, whatever floats your boat would do .... BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO DIE! DO WHAT YOU CAN, GIRL! CHOP CHOP!"

(Author's Note: Harry Potter is a popular book/movie series written by English author J. K. Rowling.)

Asami hurried and extended her palm just below our toes. The Harry Potter theme kicked in as our background music while Asami did her thing. Sweat dripped from Touma's face as he gawked at what was about to unfold before us. The girl's hands shook like a vibrator, for every moment had passed by. She gritted her teeth and maintained her balance, forcing her to groan in pain.

But after waiting for a few seconds, nothing appeared but a lump of brown, solid matter. And that bronze thing was a turd that emerged from Asami's bottom. I didn't want to question the scientific reason behind it, since Asami was a girl.

"Sorry... that's me…. And I don't think the shield is working, Kawai," Asami confessed, while narrowing her eyes in front of her. "And I don't think Mario has this kind of power, Kawai."

Asami and I brushed the old poop joke when we finally heard the rumbling getting closer. We didn't want to run away, since it would cause the shield to collapse even further. Well…., if there was a shield near our feet. But if that barrier were just a product of our imaginations, we would all eventually die a painful death.

Within that moment, my instinct went into hyper-drive. It was as if my guts screamed at me, telling me to push the two siblings from the dangerous attack from below. Without a second of doubt, I switched places with Asami and Touma, trusting the conscience inside of me.

"You're safe when I'm around…."

After saying those words, the titan made an appearance belowground. However, that perverted slime was not alone. Upon squinting my eyes at the cracking hole, a worm of some sort latched onto the slime's mouth. It was as if that giant gnawed the zombified wiggler with multiple teeth, crushing teeth.

Before I could even react, the titan crashed upwards, amputating my entire right arm. The blow from the giant shoved me at the flank, with my limbs on the fissure's other side. I glared at my fallen arm for a moment before shouting in agony.

Since my body could feel pain again, the throbbing sensation reached through my nape. That feeling didn't end right there and continued spreading even through my chest and down my legs.

"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" I repeated, while gritting my teeth and forcing myself to think of happy thoughts.

But the only thing that popped up inside my mind was my grandmother wearing a virgin killer sweat. And beside my grandma was grandfather wearing the same clothes, while emphasising his PP.

"I don't know which is scarier…. My grandma or my grandpa…. Maybe I will settle with both for now," I grumbled to myself, while caressing the remaining cells of my dominant hand.

When that happened, my system finally notified me of the good news. Thanks to my regenerative powers, my right arm slowly formed itself with the zombified muscles found inside my body. It made me look like Venom, the symbiote who had tentacles for its arms.

However, I couldn't give up now since the two siblings were still beside me. That titan had its hands full with the worm chewed on its mouth. It won't be long before that bastard could set its eyes upon us, or call a horde.

"Come on, let's go, let's go!" I directed the two, and led the charge, while grabbing my cut off limb.

The pair of siblings heeded my advice and zoomed straight onwards. We didn't have anywhere to go, since we had just come outside the station of love. But the three of us vowed to plan our journey out once we could survive this onslaught.

The only thing that mattered right now was our lives, with my grandmother's image wearing the virgin killer sweater. That photograph scarred my youthful life, and I doubted that would ever change in my memory core.

Well, as long as these two were in a safer place, I didn't mind taking all the damage.

But when I glanced behind, the slime landed on the road. And that titan finally ended the worm's life and switched its gears onto our running tails. It took the giant zombie a few seconds before racing in our direction.

And we goddamned knew we won't outrun the motherfucker. But fortunately for me, my right arm had already healed. It took my dominant hand around one minute before patching it together as if nothing had happened. Although I could feel pain, my body remained immortal.

Now was also the time for me to check the limits of my body.

"Keep running, you two. And whatever you do, don't look back!" I shouted, and stood at the slime's fore while doing a T-pose. "Since your shield didn't work, Asami, let me try something…... A ZOMBIE SHIELD!"

I came up with that idea and yelled at the tip of my lungs. Before I knew it, the slime continued charging straight at me. But it finally stopped when it realised that I stayed to meet that perverted bastard.

The titan came face to face against me and glared at my eyes, even though it didn't have any orbs to begin with. But the two of us went into a staring contest, and I was in the loser's bracket.

"What do you want from me, you stupid bitch?! You came all the way here for what? Are you going to eat me? Well, too bad for you! I can't be eaten since I'm immortal! You can chew me all you want and rip off my limbs! But you can never take away my life!" I scolded the titan, but it didn't look like the titan got affected by my words.

Instead of skedaddling away, the giant leaned closer at me and spoke, "Food…. You don't die... More food for me!"

"You have a loose screw inside your head," I murmured, while coming up with a plan.

I looked everywhere but saw nothing I could use to fight or defend myself from this fiend. All I had was this flailing arm in my hand, which belonged to me. And the only fortunate thing about this was the horde became nonexistent in our surroundings. The next good news about this situation was the two siblings were already far from my vicinity.

"Wait a minute…. Do you want this thing?" I asked, and threw my chopped appendage towards the titan.

Within a few seconds, that slime munched the entire thing inside of its body.

"There goes my arm...."
