Introduction 6 (Improved walking corpses)

Although the coffin was sealed in the barrier, the chains holding it on her back were still there so when she fell, the coffin also fell on her. The walking corpses that were earlier irritated by her cry had already reached out to her and they shoved the coffin aside revealing her dead body.

The walking corpses exchanged looks and dig in but they were disinterested the next moment. Her corpse was just like theirs, it was not fresh and it was also corrupted. They felt like they were eating something disgusting.

They thus, shifted their gazes at the remaining people and decided to go for them but the next second, they felt weakness getting into them. Their energies were drained completely and also the walking corpses around were not spared all of them were used to bring back Madam Ross.

As Madam Ross underwent through the revival, Lazy Wafula had already lost all of his energy and his body can no longer support the running of his attribute. He suddenly fell on his knees as the rotten flesh of his body peeled away revealing countless maggots that were swimming around fervently.

His eyes were quickly turned into tonics for those maggots leaving behind an appalling view of his eye sockets. His body can no longer hold the pressure and it burst apart, some chunks of rotten flesh splattering on the faces of the walking corpses which had surrounded him. The walking corpses were astounded by the ghastly view of their opponent wandering who among them had managed to deliver such a devastating strike on this notorious opponent of theirs. They snapped the next second and dived at the fleshy remains of Lazy Wafula but just like the flesh of Madam Ross, they were quickly disinterested by it, it was like they were eating something vile and bitter.

Queen Nakhumicha who was on his back looked around at the savage glares of those walking corpses and she thought that they were a little cute in that she just wanted to pinch their cheeks. The fall of Lazy Wafula had not devastated her as if that was how things were supposed to unfold. When a person stared at the eyes of this girl keenly, they may found that her eyes were deep and endless in that one can be lost in their mesmerization.

It was not entirely because her eyes were beautiful, though on the ordinary person's perspective, her eyes were too enticing and vibrant, but to the people who are keen enough an powerful, those eyes were not only deep but one can apparently sense a feeling of ancientness and something that should not exist in this world. Anyone can even lost their souls just by staring at her eyes for a long time because their souls will be imprisoned in the vastness of this ocean never to find a chance to escape or a way out.

Queen Nakhumicha was a child on the outside but inside, she was something old, something that had existed for eons. She was like an entity that had travelled through time and she had watched countless deaths in that she had become indifferent about that matter. She had this condescending expression always plastered on her face as if she was looking down upon all the beings of this mortal world.

She was something that can not be accessed or analyzed by mere mortals, but how did she appear in this plane of existance? Even though her power can not be analyzed, a watchful powerful person can easily see that she was something otherworldly which even the universal laws had been rendered ineffective on suppressing her.

Her existance on this plane was so impeccable in that she had fully Integrated to the community of the beings that live in this world, no person in this world can sense her strangeness, and that also includes Lazy Wafula. Their power was so meager like a drop in the ocean when compared to her, but what brought her to this plane? What was her aim?

The walking corpses glanced at her and stood their petrified as if they had been frozen in place. Even though the walking corpses didn't have a soul, they can still feel the foreboding danger that they were in and their bodies can not move forward due to just mere shock. It was not that the girl had done anything but now that they were staring at her closely on the face, they found themselves lost and confused.

The audience in the background saw this and thought that it was simply the system that had done its miracles once more because they can clearly see a green barrier with some runes ingrained on it covering her. They thought that the walking corpses were still musing about how they can breach the barrier and eat up the little soul hidden inside.

While Lazy Wafula was reviving, Master Chen's huge body blew up, leaving behind cracked bones with a few chunks of flesh here and there. A fetid pool of black rotten sap and flesh formed around this skeleton. Some intestines and internal organs had been sent flying up to where the receding walking corpses were. These organs had a suffocating stench in that the walking corpses didn't even thought of wanting to have a taste of them.

They exchanged looks and moved even further away from this skeleton because they knew what will happen to them when they went near it. They had seen what had happened to their fellows who were thickheaded to get close to the rotten corpses of these freaks. All the walking corpses that got close turned to dust, they didn't want that to happen to them, right now they were far away from it while biding their time. The instance that the big guy will come back, they will scurry towards him together like an army of bees. Even though the walking corpses had moved very far away from the skeleton, they were dismayed to find out that it didn't matter how far they were, their energy was drained quickly and used to bring back Master Chen.

All the survivors with an attribute had revived and they were again ready to unfold the second phase of the battle. Lazy Wafula picked up the little Queen Nakhumicha and tied her on his back with a shawl that he had picked up in front of him.

Time [ 00 : 21 : 07 ]

Less that twenty minutes remaining to end the survival selections that had been taking place for twenty years now. They only have these few minutes remaining to be qualified to become the awakened just the way the system had informed them.

The survivers with attributes didn't shy away from activating their attributes, they did so, right away and threw themselves in the waves of the walking corpses. The old hag had already gotten back her pole and she was already at it - finishing the waves of the walking corpses without mercy. Right now her smile had faded and only nonchalance was what was plastered on her face. She allowed her regained blood to soak the glistening cristal making it to radiate, with the pole, she harvested their lives like nothing.

Just like that, they went through the second face easily. Now it was the last phase of the survival selections, this was the deciding factor and no one among them was willing to allow this chance to leave from their grasp. After all, they have come a long way and they can not allow themselves to fall at this juncture. All of them had only remained with a single chance for revival except the youthful teenager who they had decided to keep him in the circle to protect him because he had no more revival chances, if he died when the time had not yet ended, he will not be revived, which will be a big loss for him. The teenage youth was also watchful this time round, he was very determined to get a chance to the second life and nothing was gonna stop him.

time [ 00 : 11 : 00 ]

Ten minutes, that was the time that they had remained with to be deemed as awakened by the system. They have to be vigilant in this last minutes, yes, they have to. They have realized that the world had buffed up the walking corpses twofold on this last phase of the battle. Even if the world was weak, it was burning everything it has just to win this war but they can't allow it win just because of that, they had suffered for long just to have this chance, they will not allow it to escape from their grasp, never, even if the world knelt before them.

Growl! Growl! Growl

The growls of the walking corpses reverberated loudly accross the whole desolate city. Their growls were threatening and bloodthirsty, they also had some viciousness in it. The improved walking corpses were totally different right now than before. They can feel the pressure imposed on them by this many viscous walking corpses.

"Everyone, don't allow the formation to break. We must make it to the next life as a group! No one among us is allowed to die, do you guys understand?" Lazy said commandingly to his fellows. Right now they were just waiting for time to end. They had already activated their attributes waiting for the walking corpses to reach them. This was a matter between life and death.

"Don't worry Wafula. I will make sure that no one of those motherf*ckers get past me." Master Chen vowed bravely. He hit his hammers against each other producing a loud deafening sound and some sparks just to show how ready he was to harvest the lives of the motherf*ckers.

"We are at it. This youth was a person from my group and I will not allow him to die and miss this chance." Madam Ross said expressionlessly as a matter of fact.

"We have already won the fight." The old hag said in a low voice. She was not wavered in the slightest.

In a blink of an eye, the walking corpses had already appeared before them, their movements was insane as compared to the previous walking corpses. Several of them waved their claws threateningly with viciousness at the vulnerable points of Lazy. These claws broke space and they quickly reached to him as if they had teleported but Lazy Wafula through his many flights, he had forged his fighting instincts to an insane level as of Earth's standards. His machetes which were burning with a black flame also teleported and cut the hands behind those claws. He perceived his fellows and saw that they were struggling as this wave of walking corpses was not to be trifled with, if this continues on, some of his fellows will either be killed or the formation will be breached. He decided, if he remained where he was with his back to them, they will not last long enough. He was the strongest among them so, he must do something.

"Guys, compress the formation. I will not be able to be part of this formation as I will be acting as a vanguard." Lazy Wafula said decisively and left the formation which was quickly compressed. His fellows wanted to advise him against it but it was already too late, Lazy Wafula had left the formation.

Lazy Wafula exerted his full strength and with the help of his attribute, the walking corpses were not a match. The old hag was also giving him a hand from where she was with her long ranged weapon. Any walking corpses that sneaked on him was utterly severed by her.
