To amplify the power of her strike, Kisha crossed her shorter katana behind the longer one, forming an 'X'. With the tree as leverage, she leaped from the tree, she pushed the blades forward, and aimed for the zombie's neck, channeling all her strength into a single, decisive blow intended to end the fight.
But, as if sensing Kisha's intent, the zombie countered her attack, raising its left arm to block the blow. The impact severed its arm, sending a gush of black blood spurting from the wound, but it managed to survive. The zombie staggered back a few steps, putting some distance between itself and Kisha. She was now covered in small wounds from their exchange, her breath coming in short pants, but her focus remained locked on the zombie.
