"Avi something is strange. It says the 'broken bridge' but the bridge is still..."
"Don't worry and just run! Quickly!"
"U-Understood!"
Aian was right. The bridge hadn't been broken yet. In other words, the 'bridge was going to be broken.'
"Avi, come quickly!"
"I'm coming."
I said to her, but there was my Necromancer quest that I had to complete within Twenty minutes.
If I did not I will receive a huge backlash on my powers.
What to do...?
I'll think about it later, I have to cross the bridge first.
"Sushil, you have high stamina."
"Don't open your mouth. You will lose strength."
Sushil said to Mark while running first with the kid. He was a natural monster who didn't invest any attribute points in his stats, yet the sum of his strength, stamina and agility exceeded 23.
The next one was Ginson and then Aina with me in the rear.
Sandeep was behind all of us, it would be close but I thought we could make it in time.
But if everything went that easy, it would be nice... Isn't it?
-Boom
Train huge door lands in front of us and the bridge starts to shake violently.
It was the same door that I had broken it.
'How did this door fly to here?'
Soon my question was answered as I turned my head back.
"Z-Zombies?"
[The zombie people have woken up!] A system notification appears in front of me.
Zombie-like bodies were coming in huge waves. Some of them were people from the same carriage as us.
Dead people started to run towards our way.
"Run!."
I shouted at the top of my lungs, walking others to reality.
"The bridge is going to break at any moment !"
"Run! If we run then we can cross it!"
The remaining distance was around 200 metres. If my calculations were correct, we could cross before the bridge collapsed at our current speed.
"We just need to go a little further! Quickly!"
The distance to the crossing bridge was now less than a hundred metres. Fortunately, Sushil carried Raju and crossed the safety line. Soon Gibson and Mark also crossed the safety line. The problem was the rest of us, including me. Sandeep shrieked.
"Y-You bastards!"
I turned my head back and saw that one of the zombies had caught Sandeep legs.
'Shit..'
There were too many zombie people, should I leave him here and go with the rest of them?
'f#ck it.'
"Aina, you go ahead of me," I said to Aina but instead of nodding at my words, she shook her head.
"You know I just can't leave you behind and save myself."
I felt nice when she said that but this is not time for arguments.
"I will be fine, you already have seen my strength. Just go ahead and I will catch up with Sandeep. "
She is still uncertain about what to do, seeing that she still has not reached to decision, I gave her a light push toward the bridge safety line.
"Don't worry, just go."
She took a deep breath and looked at me.
"You better come alive. " saying that she started to run towards the safety line of the bridge.
I turned my head toward the Sandeep, who seemed to struggle with zombies.
***
"Let go of me, you dead bastard," Sandeep said as he tried to free his leg from hoards of zombies.
"Damm, is this how I'm going to die?". Sandeep said as he lost all hope of being alive.
Then something happened that Sandeep did not expect.
"Get off him."
Someone shouted, bringing the attention of zombies towards him.
Sandeep also turns his head toward that voice.
"Avi?"
Indeed that man was avi.
"Avi! Behind you!"
Sandeep shouted.
I reflexively leaned forward as a bloody fist came flying through the air. It was a familiar fist covered with energy.
I felt something falling towards me and instinctively kicked out. I didn't need to look back to know what was behind me.
He was the man who made the first kill on the train carriage.
I briefly glanced at Sandeep and saw that he somehow was on his feet and dodging upcoming zombies.
I turned my attention back to the zombie in front of me.
"Look at you, you're more disgusting than before. "
I said to him but there was no reaction from him exactly the strange voice coming from his mouth.
"Let's see if this works or not," I muttered to myself as I activated one of my skills.
Ding!
[You have activated the Raise Undead skill.]
[The targeted person's soul is resisting against Raise Undead. The skill Raise Undead has failed.]
Damn, it was as expected.
Chwaack!
My thigh was scratched by Zombie overgrown black fingernails.
A pain that felt like a burn spread through my leg. The skin which hadn't been cut by a knife was now torn by fingernails.
What to do should I try again? Let's try again and see if something changes or not.
Ding!
[You have activated the Raise Undead skill.]
[The targeted person's soul becomes your salve eternity.]
What? It worked this time.
I look at the zombie in front of me. Precisely speaking, it was a skeleton with its skin and intestines smashed to ashes.
Then it slowly walked toward me and knelt before me.
"Ah?"
'Necromancer...'
Necromancers control the dead. And the soul I resurrected obeyed me for eternity.
'This a real cool Class.'
I heard another notification in my head.
Ding!
[Congratulations on completing Necromancer Quest.]
[You have gained a new skill.]
I don't have time to check my new skills, I will check later.
I turned toward the skeleton standing in front of me.
"Lure all the zombies towards you and push them out of the bridge, they are already dead so they can't die just push them out of the bridge."
The skeleton stared at me for a moment then there was a blue fire in the eyeless socket.
Then Skelton began his work as he started to lure zombies toward the edges of the bridge.
I'm also not standing idly, I also started to push the zombies out of bridges as I made my way toward Sandeep.
In the next five minutes, almost all the zombies had been pushed out of the bridge by me.
Sigh
Once there were no more zombies I let out a tired sigh out of my mouth.
There are still two minutes left until the Sub-quest ends.
"Wow, I didn't know you were this strong Avi," Sandeep said as he brought his hand to help me stand up on my legs.
"It's nothing most of the work skeleton did," I said to him as I stood up.
As the mention of the skeleton, the under skeleton came to me.
"you can rest now," I said to him, and heard my voice skeleton nodded his head and slowly settled himself in my shadow.
"I think we should go no-"
[ Wow, you are quite good at surviving.]
Before I could say anything Goblin cut me as he was in the air.
"What do you want?" I asked him in an annoying voice.
[ Nothing! I'm just here to make this sub-quest more fun!]
Goblin said and just then system window appeared in front of me.
[ Changes had been made in the quest. Only one person can cross the safety line...]
'what the hack?'
what does it mean by only one person can cross the safety line?
"Avi"
I heard the voice of Sandeep calling me, I turned toward him but he was very close to me.
'When did he come this close?'
"what is it?" I asked, suddenly feeling very wrong about this situation.
Instead of answering he placed his hand on my chest.
"Wha-"
"Gale's palm" he muttered as a strong gust of wind hit my chest, I flowed out of the bridge.
Fortunately, I hold on to the railings.
"Sandeep, what is the meaning of this?"
"You already know Avi, only one of us can make out alive from here. I just did what is a
necessary to survive."
"You fucking bastard."
Sandeep closes his eyes as I curse him, his shoulder starts to tremble soon he is laughing.
"Hahahahhaahaha."
After laughing like a manic he stomps at my hand which was bearly holding onto the railings.
"So what? I'm fucking bastard, I don't care as long as I live another day."
Sandeep said as he raised his foot and stomped on my hands again.
"Just die already. "
Soon my hands could not keep on, I felt the gravity of the earth pulling me down. For a brief moment, I thought this was the end, but the image of my parents came to my mind.
'I can't die like this...'
"Just wait Sandeep I will come back from Hell and kill you, and then I will make you my servant of eternity," I shouted at the top of my lungs.
-Thump
-Boom
Soon my head hit a hard concrete road, blood started to leak out of the top of my head, mouth, nose, and ear. Every bone in my body was shattered as I could not move.
-Krrrik
-Krrrrrri
I could hear the Sounds of monsters approaching.
Soon they laugh at me as they eat my flesh, skin, and organs inside of my body.
I could do nothing, I just hope that this will end soon.
As the large amount of blood was coming out of my body, I felt very weak as I closed my eyes.
Moments later I could hear a system notification.
[You have die...]
