"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.

Just how many am I supposed to take care of… Regardless, I couldn"t stand still in that very place. I was told I"d be given 1 point for each kill. That means, I have to kill as many as possible in order to gain points to purchase good weaponry, armory, and possibly, learn new skills.

I must fight. I must only keep moving forward.

When I start falling behind… I"ll end up just like them.

"eugh… life sure has a funny way of going about things."

That reminds me, I should be worried on how I"m going to support my life. Can I make some money with the points I earn? What can I do when I can"t take any of this money to the real world.

let"s search something. At this rate, I shouldn"t have any problems clearing the upcoming battles as well.

Thud. Thud.

With the light shining from the helmet through applying Divine Power to it, I kept on moving forward before I began hearing "kuahh" in the dark.

I"ve already gotten used to fighting them so hearing them didn"t bother me anymore. It was a good decision to learn Lyfedearc"s Mastery.

Feeling proud, I kept walking. The trees around me grew in a direction that didn"t sprout upwards, but in a shape that got in my way.

Shhhrak!

Puhk!

I smashed their heads in when they got close enough. This time the zombies were still twitching. Maybe it"s because I didn"t use Divine Power on the flail.

He"s not dead, is he?

Paaht.

The light in my helmet dimmed, as my flail began to shine. When I struck down on their head, a spark catches in the crack and takes them down.

A blue spark ignited before going out completely. Considering how this blue flame doesn"t light the gra.s.s on fire, this thing isn"t like anything else.

So, all I have to do is take them down like this? I walked as much as I could before I stopped in my tracks. A survival combat… I wonder if I"m supposed to take care of all the zombies in this forest? Or, Am I supposed to stay alive? Could there be a more… effective way to kill them?

I thought to myself for a brief moment. A more effect way to kill off the zombies…

It was when I was thinking to myself when I heard something.

"kyahhk!"

This…

is a "girl"s scream?"

I turned my head towards the direction where the scream came from, and began moving with the flail in my hand.

Is there someone else who was dragged to this place?

"Yeah, if it"s only a zombie…"

I began running towards the scream.

My body was heavy with all the hockey gear, but it felt good. As I ran towards where the scream came from, I noticed a light shining.

Fire!

An orange-red fire was burning through a tree in the dark.

This could only mean that there was a monster who could use fires, or it was lit by someone who screamed earlier…

As I was thinking to check it out…"kuahhh."

Five corpses appeared from the shadows, making their ways towards me.

"Zombies…"

Do they plan on keep coming at me until I"m dead? Their clothes looked raggedy. Not of something modern, and looked really cheap.

There was a zombie that was wearing an armor made of worn, broken-down leather, and a zombie wearing an iron helm.

Some zombies had knives or axes on their harness, but it looked like they weren"t interested in using them. They only kept coming with their arms out to me.

Just where are these zombies coming from?

shhhhhhhhh.

Pahhht.

I applied the Divine Power into the flail. I felt something flowing out of my body, but I kept walking forward so I could struck their heads as hard I could.

Swhhek!

Puhhk!

One zombie"s head cracked open in an instant. That wasn"t all. A blue spark was ignited in the cracked part of the head with a black smoke coming from it.

The smoke smelled of rotten flesh burning. It was a smoke that gave me a bad feeling.

I like the fact that their weakness is their head. They"re slow and not-so strong. I even like the fact that they"re weak against the Divine Power.

Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk!

I stood back as I struck down on their head with my flail. Before I knew it, five corpses laid at my feet.

They won"t move again.

I moved my focus from the corpses, and began to move forward again. The light was coming in closer. About 6 trees were lit on fire. There was a strong heat coming from it.

On the round, near the fire, I spotted a tired, pale woman with her palms out. She was wearing a school uniform.

I approached the fire trying to get closer to the girl who was rather too pale, shocked, and surrounded by fire. Not too far off, I saw a zombie walking towards her.

"D, don"t come any closer. pant. pant."

Is… that a student?

A cute-looking girl with a short haircut and sharp-looking eyes was standing there. She was cute enough to be taken as a celebrity with her looks and appearance. She stood still with her palms exposed.

Hwahhhk! It was as if a flame thrower was right in front of me.

Tchhh.

The flames got on the zombies. I saw them shake to the fire, then falling on the ground.

That"s amazing. What is that?

But I could see the weakness in the attack. Is it a skill that"s used by consumes stamina?

"Pant. Pant."

I could see the student sitting on the ground, breathing rather hard. It really must be…draining for her to use that attack.

Must be different from mine.
