Lighting Rush

Grey fell to the ground, and the [Juggernaut Zombie] roared in pain, holding its forearm as black blood poured out.

Grey was half-conscious and barely hanging on, but he forced himself to stand despite his body howling in objection. He then used the vitality shard and felt the pain slightly reduce, enough for him to rise to his feet.

Then he used the intelligence shard, and he felt his mana rise as well. He began to channel his energy, causing it to flow through his entire body, using the energy to boost his stats and empower himself.

Energy crackled out of his body in the form of lightning, and his eyes glowed blue.

=======================

[Lightning Enhancement] unlocked

=======================

Grey's energy was draining rapidly, but he didn't care. He was going to burn it all with his next series of moves, which would leave only one standing at the end.

The [Juggernaut Zombie] roared, enraged that Grey had taken its arm. It charged at Grey with an intent to kill, but as soon as the [Juggernaut Zombie] got close to Grey, a sphere of lightning blasted out of him, pushing the [Juggernaut Zombie] backwards.

The [Juggernaut Zombie] tottered to the rear with a pained grunt as electricity coursed through its body. It was surprised how the human that had fled from its attacks, like an annoying rat, was somehow stronger than before and was now able to fight back.

The look of defiance in Grey's eyes pissed it off, and it roared loudly in annoyance before rushing towards Grey with an intent to bludgeon him into a bloody pulp.

Grey grinned at the power he was able to unleash. He had managed to create a move that boosted his ability, but he knew he was running on extremely limited time.

There was no point to the boost if he couldn't use it to defeat the zombie in front of him, so he met the zombie swiftly approaching him.

The [Juggernaut Zombie] threw out a fast and fierce punch, but to Grey, it looked like it was moving in slow motion, so he casually stepped to the side, watching the zombie's fist blow past him.

He then went low and placed his palm on the zombie's chest.

======================

[Overcharge] unlocked

======================

A million bolts of concentrated electricity slammed into the beast, and the zombie screamed in pain, the deadly current burning its skin and seizing its muscles.

“I'm not done yet."

Grey threw a powerful fist, lightning wrapping around it to enhance the blow. It landed on the [Juggernaut Zombie]'s gut, and it slid backwards with a pained groan, spitting out blood.

===========================

[Lightning Fists] unlocked

===========================

Grey grinned. "Let's do this." He moved towards the dazed zombie and began to rain attacks using [Lightning Fists].

The [Juggernaut Zombie] took a couple of blows to the face and tried to fight back, but Grey was just too fast. It decided to put up a guard, blocking Grey's attacks.

The [Juggernaut Zombie] received the brunt of Grey's powered blows, the force of them pushing the zombie backwards.

The [Juggernaut Zombie] realized its defense wouldn't save it, as its arms were getting charred, and it was only a matter of time before Grey broke through. With a rageful roar, it released another shockwave with raw muscle strength, pushing Grey back. Only, Grey was out of sight.

It looked around, wondering where Grey was, but before it could turn around, Grey punched it in the ribs with his full power.

The sound of bones breaking rang out as the zombie flew to the side with a pained grunt.

The [Juggernaut Zombie] held its wounded area and grunted at Grey hatefully. Its [Berserk] had run out, and it panted heavily, exhausted.

Grey wouldn't stand and let it rest, so he rushed the [Juggernaut Zombie] and appeared before it, but the zombie reacted with a swift punch. Grey, anticipating this, simply went low and placed his hand on the zombie's chest using [Overcharge].

A deadly amount of electrical current then sliced into the zombie, and it screamed in agony. Grey then raised his arm, about to follow up using [Lightning Fists].

But the [Juggernaut Zombie], barely recovering from [Overcharge], instinctively raised both arms to guard, expecting Grey's rain of blows. But there was no frontal assault.

"Kneel to your god.”

Grey said from behind and forcefully kicked the zombie's leg by the shin, causing it to fall on its knee and break its guard. It was a feint.

The [Juggernaut Zombie], furious at the state Grey had subjected it to, attempted to stand, but what met it was a punch to the jaw, causing it to stagger, then a sharp elbow blow to the nose, and then [Overcharge] once again.

The unrelenting combo caused the [Juggernaut Zombie] to let out a scream of massive pain, but even then Grey wouldn't let up.

He moved his fists like a raging rocket, assaulting the zombie's body with [Lightning Fists], and then finished with a powerful blow to the [Juggernaut Zombie]'s chest.

This attack caused the zombie's thorax to cave in, and its hulk-like body tore through the air like a cannon and crashed into the office wall with a defeated grunt.

It coughed out a mouthful of black blood, its appearance deathly pale. It was severely weakened but not dead yet.

Grey walked towards the zombie, feeling [Lightning Enhancement] fade off. He was really grateful to the Juggernaut for the challenge; because of it, he was able to create a lot of new skills.

No, that's wrong. If the system hadn't given him the quest, he would have run away, which meant the system deserved the credit.

Grey stopped before the zombie, looking right into its eyes.

Never in his life would he have imagined himself in a situation like this: defeating such a scary-looking monster.

Grey then used [Lightning Blade] to slice the neck of the [Juggernaut Zombie], and its head fell to the ground.

Tti-ring

==========================

[Congratulations! You have completed the quest:]

[Slay Juggernaut Zombie]

[Your reward is now available]

==========================

Grey grinned at the notification, but then he felt all his energy suddenly dissipate and a massive weakness wash over him.

A drowsy feeling made him fall to his knees, and along with that came an intense pain that gripped his entire body.

Grey winced loudly and fell to the ground, unable to move.

A metallic taste filled his mouth, and blood seeped out. His sight blurred, and the last thing he saw before he went unconscious was a blue-haired monkey watching him.
