Survivor Evolution: demonic system

Introduction 5 (the corrupted)

When the walking corpses saw that their opponents were gaining momentum, they got angry because of the cowering feeling that had crept deep inside them. They snarled at them and decided to meet them even though they were afraid. Their instincts was telling them that these improved beings were not to be trifled with but the world on the other hand which dictated their existance didn't allow them to abort.

Any of them which defected was peeled like a nut before their existance was erased. No one among them was ready for that torture as although these beings had no soul, that didn't mean that they can not feel pain. They were determined to go down with these survivors. It was at first, only a single walking corpse that initiated the fight and when the others saw that, their blood boiled from determination and just like that, they again scurried towards them in waves like maggots swimming in a pool of filth.

Lazy Wafula was not intimidated by their determination on their disgusting faces but he was instead riled up. He was just pleased that he will not go chasing for these walking corpses as they themselves were coming to him. Besides, these corpses would not have escaped because they had a mission to accomplish, which was to take them out and not allow them a chance for the next life. Lazy Wafula was just overthinking it that the walking corpses may escape from them, that was impossible.

Lazy Wafula leapt to the air and met the walking corpses that had jumped to the air midair. He wielded his machete while he was at it. The walking corpses on the other hand didn't find a chance to retaliate as they can not move about in the air. The improved Lazy Wafula was havesting their lives like nothing. In the air, he had already slashed the heads of three of them before he landed on the ground.

Where Lazy Wafula had landed was at the very midst of these walking corpses, in that he had even stomped on some of them when he had landed. He controlled his dark energy to cover his machetes which made them look lively and hideous. A strong burst of killing intent surged on his blades making them to be even more ghastly. The death aura that was being released by the machetes was more suffocating even to the walking corpses but they put their wavering self aside and dived at him with their teeth showing.

Drool was coming from the mouths of some of these creatures as they thought of how tasty the flesh of this powerful being will taste, this hunger was the main thing that was urging them forward, though the deep intuition inside them was screaming at them to be worry of this being (Lazy Wafula).

Lazy Wafula didn't care about anything else except the welfare of the girl on his back. He waved his machetes haphazardly around him severing their heads and splitting their torsos apart. Unlike the previous time when his machetes had difficulty in penetrating through their bodies, at this moment when he was being powered by his attribute, his machetes split their bodies apart unhindered. Their bodies were like tofu when meeting his machetes.

The walking corpses didn't even find a chance to scream or retaliate against him, his hands were like Buddha hands - they moved around quickly leaving behind afterimages in that the audience may think that he had more than two hands which were wielding the machetes each. In less than ten minutes, he had cleanly overwhelmed them. The walking corpses were not fighting but simply walking to their deaths like pigs to be butchered. When a person sees the fight of each of these survivors clearly, they may find that the attribute of this survivors were only helping them to overwhelm the walking corpses by sheer might.

They were only using their attribute to buff their strength as they can not tap to the attribute's ultimate potential because of the universal laws that had suppressed them. A person like Lazy Wafula for example, was enough to take out all the walking corpses in this city with only a single move when he tap to his attribute's utmost potential.

Master Chen was the craziest of all, he waved his huge hammers around uncaredly. When his hammers struck a walking corpse, they were sent flying like a ball, even if they met their fellow walking corpses on the way, their flight momentum didn't decrease as they swept their fellows with them before coming to a stop further away.

At that moment, they didn't wake up again, probably they had lost their will of the world which was running their systems. Master Chen's hammers were so powerful that they may even split the walking corpses apart with their sheer force. He was laughing like a lunatic as he enjoyed the feeling of his hammer striking the walking corpses.

On the other hand, the old hag was grinning with some of the putrid filth of the walking corpses splattered all over her face. She didn't even tried to rub off the filth as if she was enjoying the view of herself in that state. She also didn't stop cutting her hands and lesions were all over her hands. Her blood was flowing endlessly to the cristal to power it up. Her whip radiated in the dark surroundings which agitated the walking corpses even more. They run to her like tides. Her whip was like a scythe, the blue ray was aimed at some walking corpses and with just a wave of the whip, the walking corpses that found themselves in contact with the ray were severed.

The only downside of her whip was that it required a constant supply of blood to function which had made the old hag so pale but she still afforded a smile. Don't look down upon this old hag, to reach where she was, the sacrifice that she had offered was huge.

Madam Ross however, with her axes in hand, she butchered the waking corpses like pigs in a slaughter house. An ice area was even trying to manifest around her though it quickly canceled out the moment it showed up. The universal laws can not be broken by mere survivors who had not even activated their attributes fully so, they can do nothing but try to fight within the rules. The youthful teenager had also tried and successfully filled up half of his exp bar. His elderly fellows were much far than him as Lazy Wafula and the old hag for example had already gotten two revival chances by filling up the exp bar twice. Right now they were working on filling up the last bar to obtain the last revival chance to out in store. Madam Ross and Master Chen had managed to get the first revival chance and right now they were working hard to fill the second exp bar.

Lazy Wafula willed his system interface to see his status. His hands never stopped waving the machetes even though his attention had shifted to the intangible screen in front of his eyes.

"status"

[ Name : Lazy Wafula ]

[ Exp : 86 / 100 ]

[ Energy : 86 / 100 ]

[ State / Health : deteriorating ]

[ Agility : 80 + 5 ]

[ Revival : 2 / 3 ]

[Strength : above average ]

Lazy Wafula was delighted to see that his energy bar was in sync with the exp just like the system had said it would be. What petrified him was his state of health which the system said that it was deteriorating. He was not feeling pain anywhere and he was so active in battle. How had this came about? In the next instance, Lazy Wafula felt as if the world was turned upside down in front of him, now that he was feeling his body, he found that his tissues were rotting as time goes by, if this continues on, his body system will cease to function and then he will collapse, stopping to breath. He cut a part of his muscle on his chest and he found the fat layer was turned to mucous-like liquid while his flesh was black, rotten.

There was nothing like blood in his flesh, he had been sucked dry by this attribute that was still running. He can even see vague appearances of maggots which had already taken habitation in his body, yes, he was rotting alive. He can't imagine this feeling, was this how the walking corpses felt when these bastards swim around in their bodies? He felt uncomfortable and disgusted that he wanted to puke.

Lazy Wafula sidestepped dodging a claw that was aimed at the child on his back. Although his attention was on his body after recalling the system's interface, his perception was totally active, he can not allow anything to happen to Queen Nakhumicha. The stinging pain of the maggots eating him and the tiredness was attacking him now that he knew about it. He took a glance at his fellows and found out that they were doing ok but when he perceived their bodies, he found out that just like his, they were also being affected the same way except the old had who was only pale and exhausted, the teenage youth on the other hand was normal because he didn't sacrifice anything. Also, they were protecting the teenager from the background.

He realized that his fellows didn't knew about what was happening to their bodies because they were too concentrative to their fight that the pain that they were supposed to feel was null.

Lazy Wafula continued fighting and his sight was becoming hazy as time passed. On the conner of his eye, he saw the old hag was the first one to fall, Madam Ross who was close to her tried to scare away the walking corpses but she was quickly overwhelmed by them. The walking corpses drag the weak old hag into their midst and ripped her apart and enjoyed her flesh. Bones cracking can be heard as the walking corpses gnawed her every part of the body leaving nothing behind.

The old hag didn't even have the energy to scream as she watched the walking corpses eat her up. These corpses didn't kill her quickly because they liked enjoying fresh meat which made the old hag even more sorry, but it only lasted for a minute before she was killed.

The walking corpses which were still dazed as they savoured the taste of her flesh suddenly felt weak before they turned to dust. Their energy was milked dry. The walking corpses around were also not spared and they were used to bring the old hag back. Now just like the youthful teenager, she had remained with two revival chances.

Madam Ross had watched all this happening and she was awed by it but his reverence only lasted for a second before it was replaced by a scrunched face. She screamed loudly alerting the walking corpses which were irritated by her cry. Madam Ross fell on her knees as her guts and all inner organs which were corrupted fell out, her tummy had cracked which had released her guts out, countless maggots were moving around her organs fervently without care and Madam Ross was ghastly pale for seeing that, because she had not yet breathed her last. She turned around to glance at the coffin which was tied on her back, she was unwilling to die because she was scared that the coffin may be destroyed while she was still reviving.

Fortunately, the system had taken this situation into account, the coffin was binded by a green translucent barrier formation with mysterious runes ingrained on it. Madam Ross calmed her heart knowing that the coffin was safe and she will not fail the test. She fell on top of her guts and breathed her last...
