His perception slowed down, and he could see everything at half their speed. But his movements were not one bit slow at all.Just as he swung his axe, he later swung his spade and beheaded yet another Zombie that stood right next to the first one.His STR was now above 110 points, and his AGI was at 96 points. Jason believed that this was not something that a Rank 1, or Rank 2 predator could handle!!The other Zombies finally reacted, then charged at him and roared at him in anger."Raaaaggghhhh!!!""Raaaaggghhhh!!!"But Jason was unphased. With Phantom like speed, he dashed towards the Zombies and beheaded one Zombie after another.With every second, a Zombie or two Zombies would fall down like reaped cabbages. He was like a god of war, killing and butchering anyone that rushed towards him.And worst of all, his rationale was still around 30 points. That was something that he still believed was beyond Rank 1. He was able to stay cool headed even with such levelsp of power.And because of that, he survived a coming disaster."Haaaaa!!!" Jason raised his voice to boost his morale, and continued killing the Zombies as ten seconds had gone by.By now, he had taken down twenty Zombies, which he was not aware what their levels were.Meanwhile behind him, the remaining ten or so humans gawked at what he was doing. Some did not even believe Jason was a human, and feared him more than the Zombies.The woman who had obtained the first kill held the young girl within her arms tightly, and became pale stricken.She had almost been killed by such a man. Thoughts like this rushed within her head, yet more of them that told her to seek refuge from him dominated.That was a safer option. She thought.The young boy hidden behind everyone had a sharp glint flash through his eyes, when he saw Jason kill his way within the circle of Zombies.Meanwhile, the two man were also surprised and left speechless as well. Adolf whispered, "What now?" He asked, and Joe was quiet at first.The more he watched Jason, the more he felt like the boy was too mysterious and dangerous. Luckily, he was not against them... at least, not to the point of him turning against them.He even wondered if Jason could kill them all, but held back because they were all humans. Hell, he was questioning if bullets could even do anything to a godlike being like that.But one thing that made him sigh in relief was that, it seemed his strength was at the cost of having a time limit. Which was deduced from Jason's killing rush."...We will watch for now." He said, and Adolf briefly nodded his head.Then something out of hand occurred during the thirteenth second. It had caught everyone, including Jason, off guard.Bang!!Jason swung his axe towards another Zombie, and this time, it swung its hand towards the axe and upon contact, Jason was pushed back, and the Zombie lost its arm."What..?!" Jason exclaimed as he felt his hand slightly tremble. 'What the fuck just happened? What's with that perverted strength?'Joe also saw through the problem, and hurriedly reacted, showing why he was the leader.He took this chance to place his hands on the ground and called out, "Shoot shoot shoot..!!" He commanded and cast his Level C Talent, Earth Manipulation. "Earth Barrier."It was a powerful Talent, that could rival a few Level B Talents depending on who used it. And Joe, seemed to be a genius with this Talent.Meanwhile, Jason hurriedly pulled back and felt a world splitting headache. It was so severe, he felt dizzy and his vision was temporarily blurry.The Zombie that struck him, and lost its arm, roared at him and attempted to pounce on him. It was too fast.But just as it pounced on him, a wall rose up below it, and took it up with it. The wall separated him from most of the Zombies."Damnit... Fuck, my head." Jason had the time to finally let out a breathe of relief.Moments later, a chorus of bullets rang out, as the more than ten people also rushed out to deal damage, and to also obtain more Energy Essence.Then other ten or so Zombies died.Everyone sighed in relief, including Jason. Twenty or so seconds had gone by, and he was about to deactivate his form.But suddenly, the powerful Zombie from before fell from above, and pinned him down, jump scaring everyone around him."Kyaaaa!!!""Aaaarrrgghh!!!"The women around him screamed in fright, and hurriedly ran away from him. Even Joe and Adolf were caught off guard.Jason was shocked and caught off guard as well, but thanks to his many activated Talents, and his greater strength, he managed to grab the Zombie by its jaws, and turned it over.He had no weapons, and only had his hands at this moment. He held down the Zombie by its jaws, and forcefully pressed it down.The Zombie struggled and clawed at him, but Jason ignored the pain and just pounded the Zombie with his free hand, making sure to do nothing but punch, punch and punch.'Fuck fuck fuck fuck!!' He punched and punched, resonating alongside every heart beat of his fast racing heart.He was frightened and fearful at the moment, and was now just punching out for the sake of survival. He had no control of his body.At some point, he even let go of the Zombie and punched with both hands.Ywt his eyes calm and cold, with no words or sound either than the blunt sound of damage being heard."..."The women watching felt scared. They felt a type of fear they never thought would be possibly coming from another human."..."The man moved back as they felt the rage oozing out of Jason. It was just that. Pure rage, silent and calm. But rage nonetheless."..."The kids hid their eyes and covered their ears from the scene before them. It was just gore. Blood and strange substances were flying out everywhere.And Jason continued punching mechanically, until the Doomsday Supreme intervened.[ TING!!! ][ An achievement made.

He stared at his hands, and was surprised at everything that took place.Most importantly, he was surprised at how calm he was taking this. The only thing out of place, would be his chest heaving up and down.But at this moment, dull sounds hit the the earthen wall created by Joe, and he roared out at the people within. "Get out of there!! I don't have enough energy to keep up the wall. Run run run!!"Everyone who was shaken by Jason got back their senses, and rushed towards Joe. The wall fell behind them, and the fast Zombies gave chase, only to be met by rapids shots from Adolf and his gun.The shots did save up enough time for everyone to run a few more steps ahead, but the Zombies left within this small group were Tier 3 at minimum. They charged over like rabbit dogs, and easily caught up to the running players. '...Shit.' Jason cussed as he ran even faster, yet still making sure to remain behind. He had long deactivated his form, and his ERG was slowly building up back to 30. Yet it was still below ten at this moment, which meant the average stamina of a human. Sooner or later, he would slow down. Meanwhile Adolf did not stop firing his gun, but the Tier 3 and Tier 4 Zombies were tough enough to at least deflect the bullets with their bare bodies. And taking in the fact that they were undead, made them more frightening. "Kya!!" The little girl that had been running with the lucky woman suddenly tripped and fell. The woman holding her hand subconsciously paused, but when she got a glimpse of the rushing Zombies, she continued to run. Unfortunately, the fear was
'Fuck!! Jason you've gone and done it now.' He thought, bitter and in regret. His heart was being torn apart as he was considering whether to escape by himself, or stay with these people. But staying was sure death, yet he was blaming himself they were in this situation. Hence he found the decision a hard one to make. 'What now?' He thought, also going through all his Talents, and what he could use through his soroundings, but to no avail. '...Is this really it? The end of my journey? Fuck, but it just only begun!!' He thought and thought, but to no avail. He was so focused, he did not feel the little girl within his embrace nudging at him. His focus was on the noises his enhanced senses could pick up from far away, of multiple Zombies rushing towards them at full speed. Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~ They were like arrows flying through the air, piecing through the wind with barely any resistance on their bodies. 'Shit. Time is ticking. Time is ticking. There's not enough time.
They were sorounded. Every corner of this barrier was full of Zombies that kept up gathering around them. They were like worms squirming above each other within a small bucket. They were numerous. More than the hundred that they began fighting with. The situation was now beyond even Jason's might. Most of everyone looked at Joe, who also had a pale expression. Even Adolf besides him was stricken by fear as well. Then they moved their eyes to Jason, who also seemed fearful. Then they looked down in defeat. Their strongest warriors saw no hope, what of them? Beatrice also trembled in fright, and hurriedly held Jason and Anabella's hands. It was a subconscious action of hers, and both adults had no time to think about that. But Anabella did though. She also wanted to hug Jason's arm to feel safe, but was more afraid of him, than the Zombies outside. Even she could not explain that fear. It was a subconscious feeling. Meanwhile, Jason frowned and used his high INT and Talent, [Twi
They froze, as fear caught up to them. But Joe was still a man of action. He took charge of the situation. "Alright. We are moving on. Don't grab the others, and just keep pushing on. Pull your legs if you're tired." He said, and everyone once again marched on through the tunnel he was creating. None wishing to be the last person in the line. Meanwhile, the last person himself, Adolf, frowned as he looked back. 'That kid isn't here yet. Is he planning on running away?' He thought and turned to look back. He could still see the pit a few meters behind him. Due to the light from the pit. And it was obvious that there was no one coming after him. 'That brat. How could he–' But just as he was about to cuss at Jason, an explosion abruptly rang out and caused small tremors to appear within the tunnel. "The fuck?!" Adolf looked back in shock, and from here, he could see smoke and dust falling into the pit like a heavy downpour, and devouring any hint of light observable. The fear everyo
The shadowy figure instantly transitioned from where it stood... and appeared before him. It was as if it displaced itself from space, and shifted positions. Or rather, as if it was always before him, and only made its presence be known. "..." And it's appearance was so sudden, Jason just saw his whole entire vision turn dark. This thing appeared right before him, to the point where his nose barely touched it. And he could smell its iron-like scent, that was similar to that of blood, and hear its slow, regulated breathes that were similar to those of humans. But slower. And heavier. Jason did not even see how it moved. All he knew was that his life flashed right before his eyes. And his heart forgot to synchronize with its body. One man. One shadow. They stood toe to toe, and breathed into each. But nobody was sure what they were breathing into each other. Life? Or the more likely, death? Anabella also shakily looked back, and was mesmerized by the scene she saw. Not only her.
The crater was once more left in deathly silence. With the only sound being that of the wiggling tentacle shadow roots, reminiscent of splashing mud. And if one took a look at the area where the man was swallowed, they would see tentacle shadow roots, which seemed like multiple worms clustered together. It was disgusting. And repulsive. But what was worse, would be the follow up sounds of breaking bones, and grinded meat. Loud enough to be heard by everyone. ...!!! It made them shiver in fear. Joe even cursed within his mind, 'Son of a b*tch. What is wrong with this thing?' He thought in disgust, and apparent fear. Worst of all, the bump within the shadows that represented the man's buried body, was slowly, ever so slowly, being reduced in size. Until it was leveled perfectly with the ground. And also signifying the complete defunct of the unfortunate man. ...!!! And this only brought more fear to the people's hearts, erasing the very concept of hope they knew of. The shadowy
The shadowy woman stopped looking at her, and turned to look at other preys that it could easily attack. And that would be... 'Oh shit.' Joe, himself. She did not say anything and burst towards his direction. Her speed was very fast, being far faster than anything he had faced till this point. Not even the fastest athlete could compare. 'Shit. She's too fast.' He thought. It felt like a bull car was charging over at 40 miles per hour. And he was but an ordinary human, with more power than others. But he was also a fighter. An ex gang leader. "Earth Pike!!" He placed both hands on the ground, and strained himself to use his Talent. The earth below him shot towards the charging shadow woman, like a spear ready to piece through her chest. But she easily maneuvered it with a twirl-like turn. This allowed her body to shift sideways, and letting the earth pike to brush past her waist instead. 'Dammit. She dodged it. She's too fluid with her movements.' He thought as he pulled back. The
'But it's enough!!' He thought, and he charged towards the barrier with Beatrice. One duplicate charged towards Joe, and the other went towards the shadowy woman. All the while, the shadowy entity just stood and watched. Seemingly intrigued about the situation, and how Jason was still alive. "..." Meanwhile, the shadowy woman saw Jason become three, from one. And at first, she was stumped on which one to attack. But after seeing one charge at her, she charged at him too. 'Rank me up.' The duplicate commanded, and immediately after, his Rank increased once. Now, he was a Rank 3 Combatant... and most importantly, his Energy was back to full.
