Survivor Evolution: demonic system

Introduction 4 (attribute)

Grrrr!

The infected sniveled as they stared at the sky which had turned bloody red and let out a high piercing strident with agitated faces as if they were happy with whatever the world had done. Lazy felt it, he can apparently sense the difference in those walking corpses. These walking corpses were no longer the same as they used to be and it seemed as if the bloody sky had strengthened them even further. He can't imagine how much powerful these guys had become. He had fought many of them in the past to survive until this time and they were conniving and brutal creatures that he himself had sometimes chosed to flee when he was encompassed by them, but this time round there was no fleeing and on top of that it seemed like these guys were even more powerful than the former self.

The walking corpses had more copious amounts of dead aura after that action of the world. They just reeked of death itself which was making Lazy's group to have difficulties in breathing in this heavy pungent air. The eyes of the infected were even more deader than before, they look like they were there yet not there at the same time.

In a blink of an eye, the walking corpses had already swung their claws while some of the others which were far behind either squirmed in the midst of their fellows to reach them or leapt to the air towards them. Everyone of these many walking corpses wanted at least to have a taste of their flesh.

Lazy Wafula squinted keenly at all their movements to the basic level. He didn't dare to leave a thing to escape from his perception. He was totally shocked to find out that although these mindless beings were attacking them haphazardly, all their moves were coordinated making it look like it was a single entity that was attacking them. All their moves had covered all their black spots and escape route. It seemed like if he got careless, he may be taken out by this single move so, he moved.

Just like a war veteran who had undergone a complete makeover after participating in countless battles, Lazy Wafula didn't waver because he knew that the moment he did that, he will create a flaw in his movement of which the world will be happy to take that chance to take him out. He was not worried about himself because he had revival chances, what he was worried about was the little girl on his back, he can not allow those filthy things to ruffle even her clothes.

Coldly and emotionless, he took a favourable stance which made him feel like he had became a part of the world and nothing can move him back even a single step, he was immovable. He swung his machetes in a disarray form. An audience may think that he was a complete novice when they see how he was wielding those machetes but to battle specialists, when his movements were observed closely, anyone will be awed by the impeccable pattern of those movements. Each move was aimed for a kill and it took the vulnerables of the walking corpses into account. A person beside him may think that he was simply playing with these walking corpses with no interest to kill them because unlike his fellows, his intent was hidden which fooled even the walking corpses that thought Lazy Wafula was going easy on them but when they felt the compressed killing intent on the sharp edges of his machetes, they were suddenly petrified but it was already too late because his swing had already made contact.

Heads rolled and many of the rotten appendages and skulls were maimed, but Lazy Wafula didn't look good about this even if his first swing had been successful. He had waved his machetes with an immense force and energy and such a swing was supposed to have deleted many of them but that was not the case here, these walking corpses were much reinforced than before. Their carapaces were as hard as stone. If his machetes were simple weapons, they might not have done what they have done, they might have only left a scratch on their carapaces or in the worst case, they might have snapped. Wanting to confirm his conjecture, he calmed and perceived around him. That was the moment that his brows furrowed a little. He was right, the earlier circle that they had formed to protect their backs was useless against these beings, some of them which had leapt to the air earlier had managed to breach their formation. On his side, he didn't allowed them to pass by him but it seemed like that was not the case for his fellows. One amongst them had allowed one of the infected to breach their circle. That was not the only case, it seemed that his friends were losing and this was just the first retaliation.

In the meantime, the teenage youth was caught off guard as he was still gawking at the walking corpses while cringed as if cold water had been spilled on him. The walking corpse which had breached the formation didn't go for anyone else but this teenager who was in the midst of the formation because he seemed to be aghast, his attention elsewhere. Others were being kept busy by the walking corpses and they didn't have time to turn around and help him. The walking corpse bit his throat and the fleshy cartilage like a dog pulling out a chunk of flesh. Blood splattered like rain to his fellows who were dismayed at the gruesome sight of one of them being eaten alive. The teenage boy didn't even got a chance to scream asking for help so that they may help him. The walking corpses swung their claws as they became even more agitated at the sight of blood. The survivers were losing out. Their tight formation was also on the brink of collapsing.

"We need to use our attribute guys. This is the final fight. It doesn't matter whether it would be harmful to us or not, surviving is what we need to aim at right now." Lazy Wafula uttered coldly. The walking corpses will kill them all if they don't go all out.

The attribute that Lazy Wafula was talking about was something like an ability that the system rewarded them, though it only rewarded those who had exclusive quests like Lazy Wafula, Master Chen and Madam Ross.

"Roger." Master Chen agreed with him while Madam Ross only nodded her head.

Master Chen unleashed his attribute which turned his body to a stone. Apparently, he was someone with a stone attribute. When he turned his body to stone, it ripped his shirt revealing a red gleaming plump spider stuck on his back. His fellows who were perceiving him were taken aback but no one asked him what it was as they themselves were too occupied in the fight.

Moreover, Madam Ross was also not left out and she also unleashed her attribute which turned her body to jade like. A frost aura from her permeated the surrounding which lowered the temperature of the surroundings making her fellows to feel a chill. Her clothes were so sticky on her skin because of the white mist that had liquified around her soaking her clothes but she didn't care, it was a matter of survival and not the time to be embarrassed.

Although the old hag was not awarded an attribute like them, she also had some aces up her sleeve. She cut her palm and allowed her blood to soak the glistening cristal on the tip of her whip. The cristal flickered with a blue ray as if breathing in sync with the pounding of her heart.

Lazy Wafula was not left behind either, his attribute being of the dark element. When he unleashed his attribute, his body turned black like ink. The pores on his skin released dark energy which was distorting the very space around him. The walking corpses halted their advances for a moment when they saw the change in the aura of their opponents. They had sensed something that was not supposed to be in this world coming out of them, they wanted to turn back and flee but again, they were afraid of suffering because of defecting. Lazy Wafula was the one that they feared the most because the aura seecoming from him was an ancient one. It can clearly be seen that his existance in this world was so strong that the world was finding it difficult to accommodate him as the space around him was collapsing perpetually. The world was correcting the broken space but it seemed like it was not that powerful to stabilize it and it can only let Lazy Wafula break the space as it correct it. The existance of Lazy Wafula was so domineering in that it was manipulating a part of the world without him even willing it. The bloody red sky darkened instantly. It changed to blackest of the black in that the survivers if they were normal humans, wouldn't have seen even their fingers in front of their eyes but it just happened that these guys were freaks. An improvement of the past humans, in this darkness they can still see, though a little obscured. Lazy Wafula was an exception, to him, he was seeing the world as clear as day, after all, the attribute was his. You may be asking why they didn't unleash their attributes earlier, the answer is simple - planet Earth was a weak planet that was also hindered by many universal laws. Powerful beings with active attributes, will find it difficult to survive in this planet because the planet doesn't have spiritual energy to power their attributes so, they can only use their blood essence as the fuel which was utterly dangerous but because the system had given them free revivals, they were not afraid. Someone like Lazy Wafula can keep his attribute running for ten minutes before his blood energy runs out, his fellows had even less time to run their attributes than him. To summarize, these people with attributes were not supposed to exist in this planet. They were like a tumor in this world that planet Earth needed to take out.

In the meantime, the teenage youth had already revived and he was awed by the show of power of his elderly group especially Lazy Wafula who can manipulate a part of the world. It was not that Lazy Wafula was manipulating it intentionally but his mere presence was forcing the planet Earth to behave accordingly so that it can correct the several flaws caused by him in its structure. The teenage youth resolved to survive this moment so that he can gain this power in the future. His eyes flickered with determination. He willed his system interface and saw that his revival chances had dropped to two while on the exp side, he had a negative a hundred exp. He will need to pay the dept for his revival or else when he dies once again, he will not be revived as both his exp and revival bar had turned red. You should remember that, they needed to kill the walking corpses so that they can fill up the exp bar which will then fill up the revival bar.

Going back in time, the teenage youth's revival was almost in an instant. The energies of the surrounding corpses were drained even the corpse which had killed him was not spared, it's energy was drained turning it to a pile of dust and this energy flowed to the remains of the teenager thus reviving him.

---

Less than ten minutes, that was the time that they have with them before they die the first death after burning their blood essence so, in this fraction of time, they glared at the walking corpses and moved. They needed to take out many of them to fill up their exp bar so that they can be assured all the three revival chances. The teenage youth took this time when the walking corpses were wavering and dashed towards them with his daggers drawn. The formation was no longer in use.
