Chereads / Brain Eater in the Apocalypse / Chapter 19 - Hard Fight

Chapter 19 - Hard Fight

"Let's dance, motherfucker!"

An enormous amount of power surged into Pati's legs as he lunged forward fearlessly, he's sprinting with two bloodied knives in his hands like a death zealot that is excited that his knives can finally pierce something.

What he holds in his hands is way smaller in contrast with the power pole the Brawler holds.

One can stab someone to death repeatedly while the other can absolutely obliterate anyone with one hit, it's a freaking power pole! and the Brawler held it as if it was not even heavy at all.

The Brawler's arm bulged with undead muscles before swinging down the power pole.

Pati with his nimble movement that is still faster than the Brawler's attack manages to dodge it by jumping, he steps on the power pole before trying to stab the Brawler's neck. To his surprise, one of the knives breaks instantly.

Looking at his broken knife, he was stunned as the knife manage to pierce the Brawlers before.

But compared to the Brawler who he's fighting now that has a bigger body showing its high level, the kitchen knife broke even before managing to cut through the skin. Only a slight graze can be seen on the Brawler's neck.

When he was about to jump away, Pati saw the Brawler swings its free arm.

Pati widen his eyes but realized that he can dodge this attack since his feet are not touching the ground, he was still in mid-air. Without thinking much, Pati clenches his hand into a fist before punching the Brawler's face.

If he's going to be hit then might as well hit the Brawler back.

Bam!

[You have been hit, -300 Hp]

'Yeah? No, shit!', Pati cursed seeing the message from the system that states the obvious.

Although for some reason now the system gave him the details of how much he lost his hp, maybe because of reaching level 10 but he doesn't know exactly why. Shifting his attention away from the system's message, Pati can feel the right side of his body screaming in pain.

The huge fist of the Brawler hits his upper body, and everything on his right side went numb.

Meanwhile, Dinda and Salsa are watching this scene from the protection of the university's gate. They both are marveling at the sight of Jeff butchering the Walkers easily, not even one of the Walkers manages to lay a hand on him.

Once in a while, the girls saw Jeff's machete glows slightly with a red light.

With the slight red light cloaking his machete, Jeff swings horizontally with everything he got before four or five Walkers got their heads cut off cleanly. It's his one and only active skill, All-out Slash.

But then Dinda turns her gaze to the side and finds Pati fighting with the Brawlers.

Just the same as Jeff's side, Pati dodged and counter-attack the big Walkers attacking him with observable ease. There's not a hint of trying on his face, almost as if he's not at all scared against the hulking Brawlers.

For Dinda who just have her first experience in killing a Walker, these Brawlers are terrifying.

Their inhuman size and big muscular body are already scary enough, but now Pati is fighting not one but four of them at the same time. Her eyes sparkled while looking at Pati's fight, she subconsciously keep her gaze on his smile filled with battle intent.

It didn't take long before he took down the four Brawlers before taunting the last Brawler.

Even the bearing of the Brawler is different compared to the others, holding a power pole with relative ease shows its incredible strength. Dinda then almost shouted but refrain from shouting when she saw Pati got hit by the Brawler.

With the powerful swing of the Brawler, Pati got sent crashing to the car on the side.

Just like a broken kite, he crashed into the car pushing it back a couple of feet. Dinda grabs the gate deliberating to get out of the gate and help him. If a normal human got hit by something like that, they will definitely die.

Pati stands up strugglingly, he's obviously hurt from the attack.

Dinda knows that Pati said that she should wait behind the gate until the Zombies are cleared. But seeing the Brawlers that is about to charge at him after stumbling over from Pati's punch, her body moves on her own.

She should be fearful of the Brawler, but she can't help but open the gate and run at Pati.

While getting off of the car that got absolutely crashed, Pati looks up and saw the Brawler glaring at him with its murderous eyes. "Hah... you strong bastard", Pati mutters with a light chuckle, he looks to the side and finds his knife got tossed away.

But then he saw someone approaching him from the corner of his eyes.

Pati glance to the side before his eyes widen seeing Dinda is out of the university and heading toward him, "What are you doing?! It's not safe, get back inside!"

"Let me heal you, you're hurt!", Dinda replied in concern, she finds his right side is bruised.

Hearing this, Pati was at a loss for words.

Dinda grabs his shoulder before closing her eyes trying to focus despite the fear, a warm feeling slowly can be felt coming from her hands before slowly spreading to Pati's body. It's a comforting feeling, and soon enough a message from the system appeared.

[You have been healed, +200 Hp]

Immediately after getting healed by Dinda, Pati jolted his head back hearing a powerful roar.

Roar!

Seeing the towering Brawler already standing in front of him with the power pole raised to the air, Pati's eyes dilated before instinctively pushing Dinda away roughly, "Kyaa!"

After pushing Dinda, Pati raises both of his arms to block the power pole.

Knowing the strength possessed by this Brawler from the hit before, Pati gritted his teeth preparing himself to block the attack by activating his Hammer Fist skill to enhance his arms.

Crack!

Under the immense amount of force brought by the Brawler, Pati fall to one knee.

[You have been hit, -150 Hp]

'Fucking hell... it barely helps my hp', Pati cursed inside his head.

Even with Dinda's healing skill, she only manages to heal him for 200 hp. Now he got hit again because of saving her, in total, she only manage to help him by saving 50 hp! It's not even helped him since he's now in a bad position.

The Brawler used both of its hands to press down the power pole intending to crush Pati.

Although he manage to block the power pole using his arms, the sheer weight of the Brawler pressing down on him was too much even for his three-digit strength. Gathering all of the power throughout his body to stand up, Pati finds it impossible.

Changing his tactics, Pati's eyes glisten slightly.

Trying for the second time, Pati pushes the power pole back a bit before he instantly uses his Leap skill to roll to the side successfully escaping the pressure from the Brawler. He then dashed in again seeing the Brawler is opened from the side.

Pati clasped both of his hands before slamming them right on the Brawler's face.

Bam!

Graah!

Even though it has a slightly stronger strength compared to Pati, the Brawler still got stumbling to the side from the Hammer Fist skill. Before it can recover, Jeff appeared out of nowhere before slashing its neck with his machete.

The red light shows that he's using his All-out Slash skill.

Upon seeing this, Pati was surprised to find that the machete actually cut in deep enough into the Brawler's neck, "Yo! You need help?", Jeff asks cheekily while slashing the Brawler.

But his showoff got interrupted before the Brawler punched Jeff with its free hand.

In the nick of time, Jeff is able to raise his arm to block the attack but got sent flying away before finally crashing to the ground. He vomited blood from the heavy attack of the Brawler, it's simply powerful.

Pati grabs the car on his side before he throws it at the Brawler powerfully.

The car hits the Brawler's side but it doesn't have too much effect, but when the Brawler glanced to the side it finds Pati is already swinging down with his clasped hands. Instead of aiming for its hard head, Pati hits the Brawler's hand.

He aimed at the Brawler's hand that is holding the power pole.

Clang!

With the powerful Hammer Fist skill, the Brawler's hand broke making it unable to hold the power pole. Pati then grabs the power pole with both hands, he spins his body and hit the Brawler with the power pole.

Bam!

From that one hit, the Brawler was sent crashing away as if its weight is nothing.

Dinda and Salsa who are still watching from the side widen their eyes seeing the flying Brawler passing their eyes, they can't believe such a huge Zombie got sent crashing away like that.

After they saw the Brawler fly past them, Pati also blitzes past their eyes.

Pati didn't give any moment for the Brawler to rest, he held the power pole by the base with both hands before throwing it at the Brawler's head. The power pole landed right on the Brawler's head before crumbling under extensive pressure.

It should crush the Brawler's head but the system's message hadn't appeared.

With no message from the system, Pati didn't hesitate and activated his Hammer Fist skill again and slammed it at the Brawler's head which has its skin peeled because of the power pole from before.

The Brawler's body jolted upon getting pummeled by Pati's attack, he kept pounding with Hammer Fist skill after Hammer Fist skill relentlessly. Blood sprayed on his face but he kept going without a moment's pause.

As for now, his jacket is already stunk with the soak of blood. But he didn't care.

Jeff who just got up while holding his arm in pain saw the ruthless sight, he saw the crazed look on Pati's face that looks to be excited about hitting the Brawler relentlessly.

Only several solid hitting sounds can be heard in the entire place.

Each strike from Pati's attack is thundering and solid as the hitting sound reverberated to the surroundings, the sound of flesh colliding with flesh that is ringing sharp to the ears. Pati raises both arms one last time before slamming them at the Brawler.

Crack!

The sound of bones cracking can be heard and the system's message finally appeared.

[Gained a level 24 Brawler Chaos]

[Class restriction has been employed, unable to absorb gained Chaos!]

[You have reached level 11...]

[You have reached level 12...]

[You have reached level 13...]

[You have reached level 14, stats has been distributed accordingly]

Many messages from the system crowded Pati's eyes, he leveled up four times from just killing this one Brawler. But the feeling of exhaustion from exerting himself so much is devoured fully by the feeling of satisfaction.

It's the sheer feeling of pounding something to death... overwhelming.

Pati instantly ate this Brawler's brains since it's too precious to pass, he gulped it in one go.

[Sucessfully Gained a level 24 Brawler Chaos]

[You have obtained 4800 Chaos]

While kneeling beside the Brawler's corpse with heavy breaths, Dinda and Jeff approached him from the side warily. They hesitate because Pati looks very brutal before, but he suddenly stands up and glanced at both of them, "Let's move, others are heading this way"

Pati points to the end of the street where a horde of Walkers can be seen.

The fight between them and the Zombies in the surroundings is very loud, added with so many Zombie corpses here this place becomes a feeding place. It won't be long before other Zombies will crowd this place.

Hearing this, Jeff and Dinda nodded their heads.

But then Dinda asks pointing at the things that seeped out of the Brawlers' body, "What is that?"

"Something that will make you stronger. If you want to be stronger then get more of these, It's very useful", Pati said while showing her the glowing red crystal.

After crushing the crystal, Pati got +20 Strength which is not as he expected.

For a level 24 Brawler this red crystal is not that great, but from what Pati thought it must be because there's only so much this Brawlers can add to the strength stat. If there's no limit then anyone can grind their strength stat to abnormal points.

So that must be the case.

Pati then took the other items from the Brawlers for himself, he's the one that killed them.

He then glanced to the side and surprisingly finds Salsa had already harvested the other Walkers killed by Jeff, she now started to harvest the Brawlers' brains despite she wanted to vomit a couple of times.

But with this, she at least showed the others that she's not a literal burden.

After the last brains has been harvested, Salsa closed the bag before heading back to the others.

Her eyes then landed on Pati who is gazing at her.

The corner of Pati's mouth quirked into a smile a little giving a fraction of encouragement for Salsa before he turns around, "Alright let's go, we're making a haste to the green light!"
