After Nate has granted him the power of the fish altered, Dike of course went ahead to do his research on the altered form he got.
It was not a problem since it was basic knowledge he could get just from the internet alone, however, based on the circumstance world was suffering from, it was practically impossible to access the internet since it was all shut down by the government or was destroyed by the meteorite stones that have rained down on earth and changed all living things that were in it.
Regardless of this somewhat obstacle, Dike still has someone like Mark who has studied biology to its highest level.
With the help of Mark, Dike got to know some hidden traits of an octopus and a shark. However, out of what he has learned, the most impressive one in his study was the octopus tentacles.
Mark has informed him that deep in all tentacles an octopus has laid a brain cell in every of eight tentacles and when training with his form, Dike has found out that the same thing applied to him.
Having a brain in each tentacle means that his tentacles can react by themselves without needing him to issue a command.
Because of this amazing trait, the moment his tentacles were summoned, they quickly accessed his inventory space and picked each suitable weapon they found. One was holding a red axe with the two were holdings a twin-blade sword. The last tentacle was now holding a circled shape shield that was brought in front of Dike as he took a fighting stance.
"What the fuck are we seeing here?" Tel gasped in shock as he took a step back.
Regardless, he soon snap out of it and pointed his two guns at Dike. Just with one glance, Dike know that the guns weren't normal, they were made from beast crystal and based on their dark colour, he guessed that they must have also been made with a meteorite.
However, he still ignored Tel and faced the man that was holding onto Mini. "Let her go!" he shouted and to a step forward. Meanwhile, Tel didn't hesitate to pull the trigger at him.
However, the tentacle with the shield was fast and was able to react with the shield. The shield blocked the bullet while the axe was swung at Tel, seeing this, he rolled on the floor allowing the axe to hit the floor.
He started shooting, yet the shield was blocking each bullet even without Dike facing him.
Meanwhile, Speed and the rest of the hunters soon snap out of their daze when one of the tentacles swung the sword at them, killing one by cutting off his head.
Dike dashed forward at the man holding Mini and through his fist, a pillar of earth rose from the ground. Dike's fist hit the wall and break through it then before opening his mouth.
They breathe out the bubbles and trapped the man along with Mini inside.
Meanwhile, speed used his ability to save himself and moved out of the way before looking at Dike. "That power, it seems familiar and yet different," he muttered.
Dike dig his hand into the bubble and dragged the man out before holding him by his neck and crushing it.
It was all happening so fast that the others could know how things turned out this way, just in a blink, Dike has just killed three people out of the seven zombie hunters that were after him.
"I'm telling you guys, he is strong, we need to get out of this place, he seems more different and difficult to kill to compare other zombies," the man that was holding the crystal warned however it was all falling to a deaf ear.
Tel was not going to give up soon, Dike has just killed three of his members and was still struggling to do the same to them. "The decision has been made, we are taking him back to the base either dead or alive, he's indeed special," Tel said as he kept shooting.
The axe was swung at him, and he lifted his hand and shot in a random direction, as he did this, his body disappeared and reappeared in the area he was aiming and the axe missed again.
"Speed, distract him, I need to put a hole in his head," Tel shouted while running towards the Dike.
Meanwhile, the other man that is with Tel was occupied with the sword that was being swung at him, the man was holding a sword also that will glow once he clashed with Dike's tentacles, this will somewhat boost his strength and make his next strike more powerful.
However, dual to how skilful Dike's tentacles are plus the fact that it's been guarded by the soul weapon skill, the man's weak spot was exposed to it and soon, he was hit on the wrist and eventually the sword was knocked off his hand before he was stabbed on the chest.
The healing man quickly used his ability, but the sword was swung at him. Having next to no fighting experience, he could only watch was the sword approach him.
Speed suddenly appeared right beside him before pushing him out of the way and pulling out his sword to counterattack with the sword. Another tentacle with a sword was already coming after him and he managed to push the first sword to the side and blocked the next sword, however, he was pushed down on his knees as the previous sword came at him.
He quickly rolled out of the way through with broken arms but the healer soon started using his power on him.
The two tentacles hit each but soon separate from each other and were ready to strike again.
Meanwhile, the man that was stabbed in the chest before, has managed to recover from his injury with the little help the healer gave him. He quickly motioned to Tel. "Pass me a bullet," getting this, Tel didn't think twice and pointed his gun at the man he pulled the trigger sending out a bullet at the man.
Meanwhile, the man stretched out his hand at the bullet as he did this, the bullet seems to be following the movement of his hand as he direct its way. The man pointed at Dike aiming at his head and when he did do, the bullet moved out at a great speed that the shield tentacle couldn't keep up the bullet hit Dike's head and exploded sending a fragment of his brain around the area.
"Noooo!" Mini cried out as she fall to her knees still trapped instead of the bubble. She just witnessed Dike's mind blowing up and this was an incident no one has ever survived.
