Chereads / Brain Eater in the Apocalypse / Chapter 28 - A Whole Different Person

Chapter 28 - A Whole Different Person

Dinda can feel her heart skip a beat upon hearing what the group of five said, they're clearly taunting Pati when he's actually about to leave them alone.

But then again, the group of five looks to be strong judging from their confidence.

'Maybe they can really fight Pati, but is it really better to follow them instead of Pati...?', Dinda thought as she looks back at the group of five, a couple of them has already stolen inappropriate gazes at her which made her skin crawl.

Although Pati likes to eat brains and sometimes can even be heartless, at least he's a decent guy.

Generally, when the world has fallen into this kind of setting where there's no law enforcer. People tend to do whatever they like and that will lead to the law of the jungle where the strong thrive.

Of course one of the obvious paths will be the path of lust.

There are no repercussions for what anyone does in this current time, and that can make some people embark on a path that everyone prior to the apocalypse called taboo or a cruel crime.

"You just got out of that place, right? That sword looks good, why don't you give it to us?"

One of the men of the group of five said cheekily followed by the chuckles of the others while pointing at the Peacekeeping Sword Grinder in Pati's hand, and this further darkens Pati's expression as he just experienced something good just now.

Gaining more powers that he can feel directly from the Pershala Merchant, it's intoxicating.

But these people are just asking for it, Pati looks at the group of five before his eyes land on the man that doesn't hold any weapon. It's the guy that threw the spear earlier.

Pati walks toward them with his hand unsheathing the sword on his waist.

"You're right... my friend has just offended you so I need to compensate, here, take the sword", he said while stretching his arm and with one swift motion he stabbed the sword to the ground.

Crack!

Seeing this, one of the men of the group then chuckles before he strides forward.

There's a huge smile on his face seeing Pati willingly give the sword that looks to be very deadly and definitely a high-quality sword, "At least you realized what you did wrong, thank you for the sword", the man said while grabbing the sword handle.

After grabbing the sword handle, the man turns around before he was stunned.

When he was about to pull the sword away, he finds that the sword didn't even budge from its spot, "Huh...?", the man looks back at the sword in confusion.

Grabbing the sword with both hands, the man still can't pull out the sword from the ground.

The other men from the group of five looks at this in confusion, one of them then shouted, "Yo, Richo! Take the sword quickly, stop playing around"

Hearing this, Richo puts everything he had into pulling the sword but still to no avail.

Upon looking at this, Pati steps forward with an innocent look, "Do you want me to help you with that?", he asks with a fake concerned look on his face.

Jeff and the girls look at this and instantly realize what Pati is doing.

Despite their brief moment together they know one thing about Pati for certain, he's not a good guy. Eating brains, leaving people to die if it didn't benefit him, he's a pretty selfish guy and he certainly won't give the sword away.

"Yeah, help me pull the sword out", Richo said with a hint of embarrassment.

Just as he said that Pati pulls out the sword easily with one hand before suddenly, "Hmm...?", Richo felt something go past him but it was too fast for him to see.

But the other men in his group widen their eyes in absolute shock.

They saw Pati swings the sword across Richo's body so fast that they weren't able to react, the sword cuts through the skin and bones without any difficulty whatsoever. Soon enough, Richo widens his eyes when he can feel his upper body slipping.

His upper half slides to the ground making a fleshy thud, Richo's eyes then turn lifeless right after he realized that his body got sliced without him even noticing.

Spurt!

Blood burst from Richo's corpse creating a pool of blood almost instantly.

While looking at the corpse, Pati shakes his head in delight, 'It's so sharp...'

After marveling at the sword once more, Pati squat beside the corpse before he grabs the head, Using a little bit of strength, he cracks the skull open before he takes out Richos' brains under the others' eyes.

Giving the group of five that has now reduced to four, he eats the brain with one big bite.

Pati then stabbed the sword into the ground again feeling that the sword will be too much for this group of four to handle, he then said, "You fuckers have a lot of balls asking for compensation..."

"Me leaving you alone should be enough compensation, but now you've done it"

Pointing at each one of the men in front of him that is looking at Pati as if he was a monster, Pati then said, "You spilled my brains, so I'll be taking all of your brains as compensation!"

Swoosh!

Using his Leap skill, Pati arrives in front of the leader.

The leader is the strongest one amongst the group of four, he reacted quite fast and raises the sword to block Pati's attack. But to the leader's surprise, he got immediately sent crashing away.

Clang!

Crash!

Without even using any weapon but his fist, Pati punched the leader so hard that send him away.

Seeing their leader got punched away crashing onto a car on their backs, one of the men takes the gun out of the holster on his waist and fires it in retaliation at Pati.

But everyone's eyes widen when Pati spins his body and dodges the bullet.

Pati dodged the bullet!

Before the man that shot the gun can even recover from his utter shock, a powerful whiplash hits the side of his legs knocking the lower half of his body, "Raaargghh!!", the man shouted feeling both of his legs break.

With a perfect form and also the spinning momentum of dodging the bullet, Pati sent a roundhouse kick right to the man's legs breaking both of the bones in the man's legs.

This paralyzed the man almost instantly from the pain he was feeling.

But before the man landed on the ground, Pati already makes a move toward another one.

Pati has an agility that surpasses 200 points mark so his movement is very swift and added with the new passive skill he learned, he becomes an absolute monster. He sends a powerful right hook to the man but the man manages to dodge it just barely.

In reflex, the man pulls his head back but his hand got hit by Pati's right hook.

Slash!

Another shocking thing happened, the man widen his eyes in absolute horror seeing his fingers that got grazed by the right hook were cut off cleanly. It's akin to getting slashed by a sword or a knife.

It's only Pati's fist, so getting his fingers sliced off should be impossible.

Pati use this moment of surprise by ducking low while clenching his fist tightly, he then sent a straight punch right to the middle of the man's chest.

Bam!

"Haahkk!", the man's eyes widen as he can't draw his next breath properly.

It's like the punch rattle the insides of his chest causing him to be unable to take the next breath, this pain travels throughout his body but Pati already appears on the man's back.

Using the sharp part of his elbow, Pati hits the man right on the back of his head.

The impact from the hit is so devastating that the back of the man's entire skull exploded, it's not just an injury to the head but directly to the brain. All the man can feel is a sharp sting before everything went dark.

With the addition of the Street Fighter Champion passive skill, Pati's body turned into a weapon.

Every part of his body that can be used as a weapon got altered to become even deadlier. His elbows, fists, knees, and even legs have the bones inside altered to become sharper.

Because of that, one elbow to the back of the head can even explode the man's skull.

Splat!

Pati stood in the midst of corpses with bloodstains all over his face making his entire demeanor even more menacing, his eyes then shifted to the last one that threw the spear.

"I-I'm sorry... w-we don't want a-any trouble", the man said stutteringly.

The fear that he's currently feeling can be seen evidently through his trembling body, his pale expression, his dilated eyes, and even his teeth that can't stop chattering in fear.

Jeff and the girls are watching this in silence as they saw the scene happening.

Out of all the men from the group of five, the one that threw the spear and kneeled on the ground has the biggest body. He's very muscular with tattoos but right now is contrasting with the submissive demeanor he's emitting.

But then again, Jeff and the girls can't blame him.

Even though Pati is on their side, they also feel fearful upon seeing the ruthless Pati.

They can't even begin to imagine what kind of fear the man that threw the spear earlier is currently feeling, it's impressive to even not pass out in front of Pati's cold eyes.

Just as Pati was about to grab the man, "You bastard!! Don't you dare touch him!"

Pati glanced to the side and finds the leader charging at him with bloodshot eyes, the leader's body seems to be amplified by a skill since he suddenly moves even faster with his sword raised up in the sky.

Slight red energy seems to cover the leader's sword showing another skill, but despite all of that Pati doesn't look the slightest bit impressed.

On the contrary, he even scoffed a little seeing the leader's attempt.

"Raarggh!!", the leader jumped and swings his sword down with all his might intending to slash Pati into two, but Pati can see that the leader is not a former fighter.

His movement is sluggish and quite reckless showing he's in fact an amateur.

Although Pati is no better than the leader himself, the Street Fighter Champion passive skill gave him 10 years' worth of experience so he's not at all an amateur. It's also the reason why he can say that the leader looks to be an amateur.

Pati activates his Hammer Fist skill and flicks his wrist to parry the sword heading toward him.

Clang!

The anger inside of the leader slowly turns into a helpless one seeing the sword snapped from Pati's flicks, and soon the world seems to be spinning in the leader's eyes.

Before he can realize it, he already falls to the ground before his head got stomped by Pati.

While stomping on the leader's head pinning the leader on the ground with his feet, Pati glanced at the man that is still kneeling beside him, "You see, I'm quite the brain lovers. I would've left you guys alone but you suddenly decided to throw that little spear of yours"

"B-Brains...?", the man mutters in confusion.

Soon he glanced to the side and finds the bag filled with brains that he pierced using his spear.

Gulp!

Upon realizing this, the man can't help but gulp harshly feeling his throat dry.

"If you want to live, I want you to lick those brains you spilled. Let's not waste food, shall we?", Pati added giving the man a devious grin, it's like the devil itself is grinning at the man.

Hearing this, the leader that is still pinned on the ground said, "Let us go..."

"We definitely going to compensate you for this loss, I'm from the Ivory Posse Gang. I can give you anything, black coins, weapons, girls, you name it and I'll provide it for you!", he added trying everything to preserve his life.

Pati's interest was piqued upon hearing this, "Ivory Posse Gang...?"

Meanwhile,

Jeff and the girls are still stunned in their spots without moving an inch, they know Pati is very powerful but not to this extent. Even his fighting style changed in an instant, it's like he's a whole different person than before.

While still sitting on the ground with Jeff on her side, Salsa saw Pati glancing at the spilled brains.

In a fit of fear, Salsa stood up hurriedly and tries her best to put back the brains that are still in an acceptable condition into the bag. She's the one that carries the bag.

Pati might just blame her for spilling the brains, and he might kill her.

Even though Jeff obviously likes her, he won't be able to fend off Pati who is a monster in human flesh. If Pati wanted to, he can kill her with a wave of his hand just like killing an insect.

Upon seeing this, Jeff went over to Salsa in confusion, "You don't need to do this..."

"I'm the one that is tasked with carrying the bag, this is my fault", she replied while still scooping the good brains into the bag carefully despite the bag being clearly torn, she does this at least to hope that Pati saw her being responsible.

Jeff can only sigh, "Fine, let me help you then", he said while starting to help Salsa.

But when Salsa was about to decline him to help her, she suddenly saw Pati walking towards her after stabbing the leader with the sword to pin him on the ground.

The man that threw the spear is following Pati meekly from behind.

"Salsa, leave the spilled brains to him. He will be the one cleaning it up", Pati suddenly said.

Although her heart is already beating like a drum fearing that Pati will kill her, turns out he's not going to kill her and even told her to stop cleaning up the spilled brains. Jeff and Salsa stand up and steps back.

Pati then grabs the man beside him by the nape before throwing him to the spilled brains.

"Clean it up in five minutes, or I will feed you to the Zombies", he said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, the man immediately went to work but he soon freezes. The man looks at Pati hesitantly before he asks stutteringly, "T-The bag is torn, It's i-impossible to store the brains..."

"Does it looks like I give a fuck?", Pati replied giving the man a cold gaze.

The man's expression turns pale just as he heard Pati's answer, he then immediately started to clean the spilled brains vigorously for the fear of Pati behind him, 'He looks to be a student, so how the heck someone his age become this scary...'
