Is what I thought before I heard something nearby. Something was coming closer, dragging something on the ground. When I looked up, there was a shape moving in the dark.

gulp.

f.u.c.k. What"s coming my way? I doubt it"s a dog… what is it…

"Heup!"

What came into the light made my heart drop. It was…. a corpse with one eye hanging out of its socket… The corpse was coming towards me with its arms wide open while limping as if one of its leg was broken. The clothes were something I could not recognize. It was… a zombie!

"f.u.c.k. They just had to send a zombie…"

I clenched down on my jaw while I walked towards the zombie.

"guwahh!"

The zombie sped up its walk, and came towards me faster than before. But, it still wasn"t all that quick. It was considerably slow compared to a normal human being running.

With my jaw tightened, I used my flail just like I was taught to by lifting it up before slamming it down. When it comes to using flails, it"s all about the snap in the wrist. You simply cannot just smash down with the flail, but use the momentum with the snap from the wrist to increase the blow.

Pahhht.

The Divine Powered flail slammed down on the zombie. Puhk! with a loud smack, the zombie"s head broke in two.

hwaark!

And something interesting happened. A blue spark had appeared on the head where the flail had struck. Though the spark did not get any bigger, it burned something as it fumed a black smoke.

The zombie dropped to the ground shaking.

"Could he be… weak against Divine Power?"

I stared at the zombie for the moment.

"yeah… they do call zombies, the undead… and it"s widely known in legends and games that they are weak against holy power. sigh… What to do about this."

Regardless of what I Thought, one thing was for certain. The chances of my survival had definitely increased.

Yeah, that"s all that matters, right? f.u.c.k.

"guahhh."

"guuuuu."

Zombie voices started coming from all around. Instead of fear from the voices of the dead, I was more annoyed.

Alright, so you guys will give me a single point when I kill you? Good. It"s just great. I will obliterate all of you and gather as many points as I can today.

"f.u.c.k! you want me to survive? hah! I will you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I will survive! I will definitely survive so I can get my hands on the f.u.c.ker who put me here!" I shouted.

The sounds coming towards me had gotten louder. Even so, I stood there without a care in the world.

Different color zombies appeared from the woods. There had to be at least 20 of them.

"Jesus Christ, there"s a lot of them. What am I going to do?" I said, as I raised my flail.

I focused all the Divine Power flowing in my body into my flail, causing it to shine with a bright light.

"Do you really think I"m the same weak guy from yesterday? And, what can these little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds do besides biting and scratching me a little? Even people can"t bite or scratch through these hockey plates, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"

I ran towards them.

"Get exorcised!"

I ran into a group of zombies to swing my flail at a zombie that was right in front of me.

Puhk! His head crushed with the noise, and a blue spark appeared before killing him.

I pushed my left leg back, lowering my stance a bit to use it to a full swing. Before long, I swung the flail as hard as I could.

JJuhhk!

The second zombie"s head was crushed, and the spark was making its way into him.

Alright, you f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. Today is the day I"m going to make my stance!

"uwahh."

Another zombie came to me with his arms wide open while I was taking care of the other two. When I blocked one of his arms, the zombie tried to bite and scratch through my hard-plastic shield.

hwahhk!

cheeeeek!

I focused my Divine Power into that arm. When I did, I could see his skin burning from contact, but unfortunately, he did not back away from pain.

These d.a.m.n zombies…. so, they get injured, but don"t die off right away, huh?

hwing!

I swung my flail at the head of the zombie that was getting too close to me. Three of them had already been taken care of. I headed for the last one of the pack.

Just like his other friends, he sped up and came towards me. And, just like I did to his friends, I swung my flail at him.

Puhk!

I killed off four zombies in one-go.

My muscles were sore from the fight and I was sweating.

"sigh… I"m aching just from a fight with four zombies. I should"ve worked out… more when I had the chance." is what I was mumbling to myself as other zombie packs slowly surrounded me. hah. but… I"m not going down that easily.

"Divine Heal."

Paaht. A light engulfed my body. The aching muscle pain had disappeared. My body was still heavy, but didn"t have the pain to slow me down. The Divine Heal treats wounds, but it doesn"t take care of tiresome or fatigue. Oh well, it doesn"t matter.

I can still take care of them easily.

hweeek! puhhk! hweeek! puhhk!

More zombies came to surround me as I was cracking open the skulls of two zombies. Now"s the time!

"haap!

Puhhk!

I ran to the side, and hit one of the zombies with my shoulder. The zombie fell on the ground. I used to him like a step ladder to jump over the surrounding zombies. It was rather easy considering their speed couldn"t match mine.

xung. xung. xung. xung.

I started spinning my flail. Its tip began connecting with their heads as they got closer.

puhhk!

I took a step back, and charged again. Attacked again.

Puhhk!

In an instant, two zombies collapsed on the ground. Their weakness lies in their head.

"Divine Heal."

I used another set of Divine Heal to treat my muscle ache. Once finished, I saw more zombies approaching. It was time for me to take care of them as well.

***

21 corpses in total. At least that"s appears to be the number of kills I had. But, I didn"t favor the sight of crushed skulls lying on the ground.

I don"t think I"m a normal person. I mean, looking at all this doesn"t bother me at all. I"m not scared.

"sigh."

After the battle, I returned to the stone chamber and sat down with my back against the wall. Soon, I felt the tiresome slowly dissipate from me. This really… is surprising.

Who would"ve thought my body would recover this fast just from the Divine Power flowing through me. No… just having it heal my wounds in the first place is amazing itself.

A miracle.

A miracle that allows a mortal to borrow the power of G.o.d to heal himself.

It truly is… amazing.

"alright." I stood up, and moved forward with the flail in hand. From there on, I followed the path on the ground past the zombie corpses laying in defeat.

It really was a survival combat.
