They started making their way towards the bridge, where it seemed the safest option so far.
Once they pass the bridge, they would look for somewhere else to live away from the invasion. And then just enjoy their daily life until all of this is over one day.
Rain : "Huff... Huff.."
And so the two finally reache their destination as they stared at the wooden bridge laying in front of them.
Rain : "Let's go"
With a smile on Rain's face, the pair stepped onto the bridge.
Abigail was walking in the front, while Rain remained walking behind her just to make sure in case any zombies catch up.
Rain : "More are coming.. this is suddenly becoming worse"
As Abigail made her way through , Rain decided to stop for a moment to look behind him in case anything is approaching but..
Abigail & Rain : "....!"
At their shock, a creeper made its way between them. And before anyone could act, it exploded
Rain : "..."
Abigail : "..."
Unable to feel anything, a white light shined through his eyes.
The light was so bright it made it so hard to see anything, but it took only mere seconds before his eyes started to open slowly.
Rain : "Hff...."
Looking in front of him, he saw what happened finally. In front of him was,
Rain : "Ngh!"
The bridge was split in half due to that explosion. And both Rain, and Abigail were engulfed in the huge explosion of the creeper.
And for Rain's body, he felt his head ringing like an alarm bell. His stomach ached as he felt his organs hurting as if he was set on fire. If he had to guess he probably lost a bone on two at least due to the explosion. Following it was the huge wave of both zombies and skeletons approaching them.
There was no way to avoid this, he had to stand his ground no matter what. Buying time for Abigail was necessary so she could escape.
And so he took a glance at Abigail's face whose eyes were widening in shock. If he had to guess, Abigail must have as well suffered just as much injuries as him or even worse. After that explosion both were seperated from each other.
On the side of Rain, countless numbers of zombies were approaching. While on the opposite side of the bridge, Abigail already made her way through the bridge, she just needed to move a little and she could get away. The question was whether she could do that, because both her legs were trembling in fear.
He felt his vision becoming blurry by time. There was no doubt that any moment he was going to fall unconscious, so for the time being before he loses his consciousness,
Rain : "I'll protect her...!"
Screaming his lungs out, he forced on his numb feet to press forward and waved his sword towards the first zombie.
His sword was stabbed in the zombie's neck, and using both of his hands he pressed on the handle of the diamond sword.
Rain : "Nrghhhh!"
Cutting through the torso, the sword made its way from the neck towards the zombie's chest in a vertical line.
Then releasing his sword back from the zombie, another one jumped at him. It was apparently one of the infected.
Rain : "Ngh!"
Grabbing him from his collar, he managed to stop the infected person from attacking him. Then he drove his sword towards the side of the person's head.
He fell to the ground as the sword was stuck in its head.
More and more zombies kept coming towards him but Rain already lost his sword and his strength was slowly fading. In fact, his blurry vision became even worse making him this time unable to see anything.
Taking a step back, he tried to back up from the zombies but he can't go back any further because behind him was a huge ravine. And due to the bridge being split if he moved back just a few more blocks he would totally fall towards it.
With no choice left, he accepted his fate.
Abigail : "...!"
Abigail couldn't move at all, she had her bow but yet she didn't use it. As she was too shocked for the time being. In front of her eyes was,
Rain : "..."
Staring at him, she saw Rain's eye color changing into a red color. Which meant he was successfully infected and became one of them.
With blood covering his whole clothes, his eyes were filled with bloodlust just like the rest.
And then,
It happened.
Abigail : "!"
Just as her eyes began to flow with tears, her skull was crumbled to pieces.
The reason for that being, a straight arrow shot from a skeleton that was approaching along with the zombies.
She could have dodged that easily, but her shock was enough to make her forget everything around her.
With this....
The group lost the battle.
