Seeing how the creature stopped it's charge to protect it's head a plan started to form in my mind. If the creature's healing ability was similar to my [Regeneration] skill then it uses DP which means that it can't heal forever but I doubt I could beat it in a battle of attrition. So I'll have to start hitting some vital area or severely damage parts of it but there was one problem, how the fuck do I do that? As I contemplated my options, the monster seemingly recovered started chasing me again. Cursing under my breath I started firing at the undead hoping to slow it down but not even aiming at it's head did the job.

The monster gave me a good beating but it didn't exactly come out unscathed either. I managed to wound it a fair bit but all of those wounds were healing making me start to feel kind of hopeless then an idea started to form in my mind. It was kind of a desperate idea but it was the only one I have right now. I did something really risky, I closed my eyes during the fight and even now I still don't know how I survived but I did feel a lot of pain. The monster ran at me and clawed at my chest but I refused to open my eyes and instead curled up into a ball on the ground. I blocked out the pain assaulting my body and concentrated on the demonic energy inside my body trying to get it to enhance my body somehow. I imagined my body getting stronger and faster, I imagined being able to beat the monster that stood before me. Then something happen, it felt like my blood was racing with joy as it flowed around my body making me feel extremely hot.
I opened my eyes and they were glowing red and my sight looked like when I used [Aura Vision] only this time I was focused on one target. I pushed the undead off me and jumped backwards. My wounds started to heal at a pace visible to the human eye and my body surged with power and an indescribable rage. I gripped the machete tightly as a dark red aura exuded from my body. I lunged at the undead and it lunged at me. We clashed furiously, my machete against it's claws and it felt amazing fighting all out like that with only the desire to destroy my opponent but I didn't attack recklessly but with purpose and a plan. I first tried to immobilize it by cutting the tendons in it's hands but they just kept regenerating so I tried a different approach.
I took a gun in one hand and shot at it's heads and as predicted it blocked I then got behind it and slashed behind it's knees then I fired bullet after bullet into the back of it's head and a large amount of black mist came out and started healing it. That's right, I decided to make this a battle of attrition, who would run out of DP first. As it's head healed it turned around and swung it's claws at me and I jumped out of their range. Then I ran in and slashed at it's extended hand cutting off two of it's fingers causing black mist to leak out like crazy trying to heal them but the monster didn't seem to care as it just swung it's other hand at me but I slid under it's claws. Getting back on my feet I blocked a kick from it and skid across the floor due to the force.
It chased after me like a blood hound but I fired shots at it's head while running forward then I jumped into the air and swung down with all of my might at it's blocking arms.
*Slice*
*Putchu*
*Drop*
Success. I managed to slice it's arms off. Taking this opportunity I emptied the entire mag into it's head then I took the second gun and emptied it's mag into the creatures head as well. Now a black mist stopped leaking from it's severed arms and a cloud of black mist surrounded it's head trying to heal it but I wouldn't but I wouldn't let that happen. I jumped at it and swung my sword and it's neck but it tried to block with one of it's stump so I shortened it's hand even more at the elbow. I lunged at it's neck once again and it tried to block with it's other hand but it failed.
