Even though the walking corpses had moved very far away from the skeleton, they were dismayed to find out that it didn't matter how far they were, their energy was drained quickly and used to bring back Master Chen.
All the survivors with an attribute had revived and they were again ready to unfold the second phase of the battle. Lazy Wafula picked up the little Queen Nakhumicha and tied her on his back with a shawl that he had picked up in front of him.
Time [ 00 : 21 : 07 ]
Less that twenty minutes remaining to end the survival selections that had been taking place for twenty years now. They only have these few minutes remaining to be qualified to become the awakened just the way the system had informed them.
The survivers with attributes didn't shy away from activating their attributes, they did so, right away and threw themselves in the waves of the walking corpses. The old hag had already gotten back her pole and she was already at it - finishing the waves of the walking corpses without mercy. Right now her smile had faded and only nonchalance was what was plastered on her face. She allowed her regained blood to soak the glistening cristal making it to radiate, with the pole, she harvested their lives like nothing.
Just like that, they went through the second face easily. Now it was the last phase of the survival selections, this was the deciding factor and no one among them was willing to allow this chance to leave from their grasp. After all, they have come a long way and they can not allow themselves to fall at this juncture.
All of them had only remained with a single chance for revival except the youthful teenager who they had decided to keep him in the circle to protect him because he had no more revival chances, if he died when the time had not yet ended, he will not be revived, which will be a big loss for him.
The teenage youth was also watchful this time round, he was very determined to get a chance to the second life and nothing was gonna stop him.
time [ 00 : 11 : 00 ]
Ten minutes, that was the time that they had remained with to be deemed as awakened by the system. They have to be vigilant in this last minutes, yes, they have to. They have realized that the world had buffed up the walking corpses twofold on this last phase of the battle.
Even if the world was weak, it was burning everything it has just to win this war but they can't allow it win just because of that, they had suffered for long just to have this chance, they will not allow it to escape from their grasp, never, even if the world knelt before them.
Growl! Growl! Growl
The growls of the walking corpses reverberated loudly accross the whole desolate city. Their growls were threatening and bloodthirsty, they also had some viciousness in it. The improved walking corpses were totally different right now than before. They can feel the pressure imposed on them by this many viscous walking corpses.
"Everyone, don't allow the formation to break. We must make it to the next life as a group! No one among us is allowed to die, do you guys understand?" Lazy said commandingly to his fellows. Right now they were just waiting for time to end. They had already activated their attributes waiting for the walking corpses to reach them. This was a matter between life and death.
"Don't worry Wafula. I will make sure that no one of those motherf*ckers get past me." Master Chen vowed bravely. He hit his hammers against each other producing a loud deafening sound and some sparks just to show how ready he was to harvest the lives of the motherf*ckers.
"We are at it. This youth was a person from my group and I will not allow him to die and miss this chance." Madam Ross said expressionlessly as a matter of fact.
"We have already won the fight." The old hag said in a low voice. She was not wavered in the slightest.
In a blink of an eye, the walking corpses had already appeared before them, their movements was insane as compared to the previous walking corpses.
Several of them waved their claws threateningly with viciousness at the vulnerable points of Lazy. These claws broke space and they quickly reached to him as if they had teleported but Lazy Wafula through his many flights, he had forged his fighting instincts to an insane level as of Earth's standards. His machetes which were burning with a black flame also teleported and cut the hands behind those claws. He perceived his fellows and saw that they were struggling as this wave of walking corpses was not to be trifled with, if this continues on, some of his fellows will either be killed or the formation will be breached. He decided, if he remained where he was with his back to them, they will not last long enough. He was the strongest among them so, he must do something.
"Guys, compress the formation. I will not be able to be part of this formation as I will be acting as a vanguard." Lazy Wafula said decisively and left the formation which was quickly compressed. His fellows wanted to advise him against it but it was already too late, Lazy Wafula had left the formation.
Lazy Wafula exerted his full strength and with the help of his attribute, the walking corpses were not a match. The old hag was also giving him a hand from where she was with her long ranged weapon. Any walking corpses that sneaked on him was utterly severed by her.
