Chereads / Surviving In Another Apocalyptic World / Chapter 8 - The corrupted

Chapter 8 - The corrupted

When the walking corpses saw that their opponents were gaining momentum, they got angry because of the cowering feeling that had crept deep inside them. They snarled at them and decided to meet them even though they were afraid. Their instincts was telling them that these improved beings were not to be trifled with but the world on the other hand which dictated their existance didn't allow them to abort.

Any of them which defected was peeled like a nut before their existance was erased. No one among them was ready for that torture as although these beings had no soul, that didn't mean that they can not feel pain. They were determined to go down with these survivors. It was at first, only a single walking corpse that initiated the fight and when the others saw that, their blood boiled from determination and just like that, they again scurried towards them in waves like maggots swimming in a pool of filth.

Lazy Wafula was not intimidated by their determination on their disgusting faces but he was instead riled up. He was just pleased that he will not go chasing for these walking corpses as they themselves were coming to him. Besides, these corpses would not have escaped because they had a mission to accomplish, which was to take them out and not allow them a chance for the next life. Lazy Wafula was just overthinking it that the walking corpses may escape from them, that was impossible.

Lazy Wafula leapt to the air and met the walking corpses that had jumped to the air midair. He wielded his machete while he was at it. The walking corpses on the other hand didn't find a chance to retaliate as they can not move about in the air. The improved Lazy Wafula was havesting their lives like nothing. In the air, he had already slashed the heads of three of them before he landed on the ground.

Where Lazy Wafula had landed was at the very midst of these walking corpses, in that he had even stomped on some of them when he had landed. He controlled his dark energy to cover his machetes which made them look lively and hideous. A strong burst of killing intent surged on his blades making them to be even more ghastly. The death aura that was being released by the machetes was more suffocating even to the walking corpses but they put their wavering self aside and dived at him with their teeth showing.

Drool was coming from the mouths of some of these creatures as they thought of how tasty the flesh of this powerful being would taste, this hunger was the main thing that was urging them forward, though the deep intuition inside them was screaming at them to be worry of this being (Lazy Wafula).

Lazy Wafula didn't care about anything else except the welfare of the girl on his back. He waved his machetes haphazardly around him severing their heads and splitting their torsos apart. Unlike the previous time when his machetes had difficulty in penetrating through their bodies, at this moment when he was being powered by his attribute, his machetes split their bodies apart unhindered. Their bodies were like tofu when meeting his machetes.

The walking corpses didn't even find a chance to scream or retaliate against him, his hands were like Buddha hands - they moved around quickly leaving behind afterimages in that the audience may think that he had more than two hands which were wielding the machetes each. In less than ten minutes, he had cleanly overwhelmed them. The walking corpses were not fighting but simply walking to their deaths like pigs to be butchered. When a person sees the fight of each of these survivors clearly, they may find that the attribute of this survivors were only helping them to overwhelm the walking corpses by sheer might.

They were only using their attribute to buff their strength as they can not tap to the attribute's ultimate potential because of the universal laws that had suppressed them. A person like Lazy Wafula for example, was enough to take out all the walking corpses in this city with only a single move when he tap to his attribute's utmost potential.

Master Chen was the craziest of all, he waved his huge hammers around uncaredly. When his hammers struck a walking corpse, they were sent flying like a ball, even if they met their fellow walking corpses on the way, their flight momentum didn't decrease as they swept their fellows with them before coming to a stop further away.

At that moment, they didn't wake up again, probably they had lost their will of the world which was running their systems. Master Chen's hammers were so powerful that they may even split the walking corpses apart with their sheer force. He was laughing like a lunatic as he enjoyed the feeling of his hammer striking the walking corpses.

On the other hand, the old hag was grinning with some of the putrid filth of the walking corpses splattered all over her face. She didn't even tried to rub off the filth as if she was enjoying the view of herself in that state. She also didn't stop cutting her hands and lesions were all over her hands. Her blood was flowing endlessly to the cristal to power it up. Her pole radiated in the dark surroundings which agitated the walking corpses even more. They run to her like tides. Her pole was like a scythe, the blue ray was aimed at some walking corpses and with just a wave of the whip/pole, the walking corpses that found themselves in contact with the ray were severed.

The only downside of her pole was that it required a constant supply of blood to function which had made the old hag so pale but she still afforded a smile. Don't look down upon this old hag, to reach where she was, the sacrifice that she had offered was huge.
