Chapter 4 - Special Episode : Kyle

??? : "..."

There was a man standing, looking at a group of people staring at each other. He was standing a bit far from them so they probably didn't notice the man.

In his field of vision, he was able to see a zombie laying dead in the ground. With near it standing one of the villagers known as Oscar staring at his bleeding hand that got bitten by the zombie in the ground if he had to guess.

Apparently. It seems this incident happened the last night, when Oscar fought a zombie and killed him. Then on the morning of this day, he informed other villagers about the zombie he just killed. And that's when the group gathered around to see what's going on

??? : "..."

As his eyes narrowed at the scene in front of him. The group told Oscar to stay at the place laying near them until help comes out to heal him.

The man standing knew this was no joke. And so he took his leave from the place, heading for his home.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

This was Kyle. A middle-aged man, with dark brown eyes and medium beard. Wearing a black shirt that had a golden necklace in it, and dark blue pants.

Kyle at this moment was at his house, preparing his items for the invasion that was about to come. He first started by crafting a bow to help him engage in long range fighting. And then made an iron sword followed by an iron axe as a secondary weapon to hold in his other arm.

He was quite the musculary, so wielding two weapons was an easy task for him.

Kyle : "..."

After completing all his preparations, he opened a chest near him to grab a drink.

Due to the long preparations, he lost count of time. And when he stared at his windows he realised it was already nightfall. 

Drinking one last drop from his drink, he put it on the table with a slam. As he decided to set outside to engage against the horde of zombies.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Kyle : "That's quite problematic..."

When he opened the front door of his house, he realised the horde of zombies already made their way through the village and most of the villagers were infected. Then if he had to guess, the group he saw a few hours ago had already fled the village.

The only remainings for the time being were a few villagers he knew and that's about it.

He grabbed the crossbow that was hanging in his back, and fired an arrow towards the forehead of the zombie standing in front of him.

Zach : "Kyle! This is bad! We need to run!"

Kyle : "Just go... There are still others that I need to evacuate"

Zach felt worried about Kyle but he brushed him off , ordering him to go and leave the village quickly.

While Zach made his run through the snowy ground, Kyle continued to fight against the zombies.

Shooting his crossbow, he struck 3 zombies down the ground, but the issue was there were zombies approaching from behind, so relying on the crossbow wasn't an option.

Robin : "Kyle! Be careful!"

At Robin's shout, a zombie jumped from the roof towards Kyle. But thanks to Robin's warning, Kyle aimed his crossbow upwards and struck the mid-air zombie in the forehead.

Robin was also one of the villagers that used to live here for a long time. In fact Robin and Kyle were good friends, as they have spent so much time together when they were kids. And that worried Kyle alot. Because Robin was not a good fighter, and he was barely able to handle a single zombie amidst this chaos.

Kyle : "Nrgh! Just run Robin!"

Kyle shouted his lungs out as he spun his axe around. The motion was so clean it cut the zombie's right arm that was approaching him from the right. And from the left he swung his sword with a straight strike towards the infected's neck. 

Spinning around, he slashed the zombies approaching from behind him using merely his iron sword. While engaging in the front by his axe.

He was ambushed so badly, the more the continued, the more injuries he ate. In fact one of the infected struck Kyle's face twice to the point it start bleeding so badly. One of the infected in front of him dashed towards him but he jumped over its head as if playing leap frog.

Kyle : "Haah!"

Waving his axe in a semi circle, it slashed the zombie from neck to torso. And then struck the axe towards the infected he jumped over behind him. As the axe stabbed its neck , the infected punched Kyle's torso to the point he heard a crack sound.

Kyle : *cough*

Coughing a bit of blood , he was knocked back.

When he looked around him, he saw both Robin and Zach laying dead in the ground.

Kyle : "...!...Rgh!!!!"

Filling with anger, he made a strong grip on both his sword and axe. Then after killing all the zombies, in front of him a diamond pickaxe was launched towards him.

Kyle : "Ngh!"

Dodging it by twisting his body to the utmost, the diamond pickaxe stopped in mid-air as it passed above his eyes. Then it returned back to the original user.

??? : "..."

After gaining his balance back, Kyle went straight running towards the place the attack came from.

The man that was holding the diamond pickaxe, wore a light blue shirt, followed by blue pants. And bright white eyes.

Kyle waved his bloody iron sword towards the man in front of him, but the man parried the attack easily with his diamond pickaxe. But that wasn't the end of it.

He retreated his iron sword back and waved it again towards the man's neck which was parried once again. Then he used his seconday weapon which was the iron axe he held.

It passed straight towards the man in a fast motion.

Kyle : "Huff....Huff...!"

His iron axe was dodged easily, and the man standing in front of him spoke,

??? : "I don't understand why you continue to fight amidst all of this. It's best if you surrender your soul."

Kyle : "I'm not losing...ngh! Against you!"

The man waved his diamond pickaxe arround, but it was parried by Kyle's iron sword.

??? : "Very well, I will take it from you by force then."

Waving his diamond pickaxe around , their battle continued. A slash followed by a parry. Sometimes either the man or Kyle would block the attack. However, the man had a card up his sleeve.

??? : "Farewell."

With a fast teleportation, he appeared behind the man and stabbed his diamond pickaxe straight towards Kyle's heart.

Kyle : "Grgghhh!"

With anger , he said his last words which barely came out due to the blood piling up on his mouth,

Kyle : "Ha-te...Y-o-u"

And his heart that was beating like an alarm. Came to an end.

Along with his comrades, he fell to the ground. As the man made his way towards the other survivors.
