battle to the death

"Die!" Mira shouted stretching her hand, as lightning formed at her palm spiralling fiercely. She was conjuring up one of her powerful skills as she struggled to keep up steading herself in place, from the huge waves of air being released.

'Fuck am almost at my limit.' She inwardly cursed sensing she was almost at her limit, and it wouldn't be long she couldn't fight anymore.

'N-no.. I can't be a dead weight.' Mira inwardly said, refusing to give up as Atlanta depended on her. Gritting her teeth, the lightning spiraling in her palm had now condensed into a small purple ball. Looking closer, one could see lightning cracks constantly radiating within it.

"Chew on this!" Mira shouted, shooting the ball out from her palm. The small lightning ball shot fast at great speed, immediately meeting it's target colliding head on.

'Boom!!' The ball exploded causing a huge explosion sound like thunder, as all the built in lighting bolts erupted. Dispersing into the skulls of each nearby zombies, shockwaves were being released as the lightning bolts continued it's onslaught, killing all the unlucky undead in it's way.

The attack lasted for about a minute before it then faded off, but no less than a hundred zombies were killed from that attack.

"Haa... Haaaa... I-i tried my best Atlanta, it's up to you now." Mira weakly muttered crashing to her knees, exhausted and completely drained of energy.

'Woah~ what sick skill was that?' Atlanta wondered, staring back at Mira who was now panting on the ground. That attack managed to make the building shake tremendously, and even damaging the parts caught in it's trap.

"Tippy protect her! Don't worry about me." Atlanta yelled activating energy blast, slamming her fist to a zombies skull as the energy was released in a straight line of purple blast. She had managed to kill much zombies using only her fists and kicks, but it was time consuming which they didn't have.

So she decided to drop the idea, and proceed with swiftly killing as much lv1 zombies she could. She was lucky she had the killing the undead title, as it greatly boosted her attack power when killing an undead.

'I wonder how many levels a zombie can reac?' She thought. At first, she didn't know they had different classes of zombies until the system screen appeared before her eyes. Though it was a bit strange to her, but she considered it normal since humans could also grow stronger, and evolve at a certain stage.

'The earth has just evolved yesterday but there's already a lv2 zombie.' She inwardly said her face becoming grim. If these mindless flesh eaters had managed to level up to the next level, then she wondered what order unknown creature might've done the same.

'Bam! Boom.. boom!'

[Energy points: 220/400]

She had almost used half of her energy points, as she constantly activated energy blast but it still didn't look like she had accomplished anything, as more zombies emerged replacing their dead comrades.

She'd also almost exhausted her battle points skill activating immunity and seek, combining it with energy blast turning it into a combo kinda triple skill.

[Battle frenzy mode: 68]

'They just keep on coming.' Atlanta frowned, seeing more zombies trample the dead ones running towards her. There was an awful stench in the air, emitting from the dead bodies of the piles of zombies in the room.

'I-i can't keep this up much longer.' She could feel her legs wobbling, about to give up any moment now but she fought on, refusing to give in. She glanced back and could see the others suffering the same fate, as the fought for their lives head on.

[Zombies killed: 415/1000]

It had been passed two hours, since the battle between Atlanta's team and the zombies on the second floor began. The room was now a complete mess, littered with dead bodies of zombies with their disgusting blood, flowing to every corner of the room.

In the past two hours Atlanta had killed over 415 zombies by herself, and the system confirmed it. Mira had regained her energy a bit and now joined the fight, this time reserving her energy using only her speed and strength.

'Fuck. how the hell do they keep on coming.' Sole grunted, blasting off at the zombies with both his hands with the plasma ray handgun. He wondered how many zombie there were in the building, as their numbers weren't decreasing at all.

'Rumble.' And to add more to their problems, the building shook violently as a part of it cracked running to the top of the building. What followed after was the destruction of it as it collapsed to the floor, causing the four story building to shift off balance bending.

'At this rate we're going to be crushed, before we die in thew hands of these zombies.' Zain thought. seeing they didn't have much time left, before the building finally caved in on all of them.

'What the- d-did he just bail on us?' Sole could see Zain running off, back towards the exit. He had a frown on his face seeing the latter ditch them and save himself, but was confused seeing Zain stop at the entrance to the room.

Placing his hands to the wall besides the entrance, Zain activated his ability concentrating. He could see some zombies coming at him from the side, but he couldn't possibly stop now that he'd started as there would be a backlash if he did.

'Thud! Thud!' Some shots were fired, dropping the approaching zombies to the ground. Glancing over Zain saw Sole nod slightly to which he did the same, putting his full attention as he communicated with the system.

It didn't take long before he finally got through, as the wall made a low beep sound followed by light hissing. A metallic sound then followed after as the wall went back an inch, sliding to the side revealing a secret passage. Without hesitation Zain ran in going to God knows where?

"Argh!" Atlanta screamed her veins bulging, as she slammed her leg to a zombie head causing it to explode from such force. She then followed it up by punching another, running up a wall a bit activating energy blast and slamming her fist to the ground.

[Battle frenzy mode: 85]

Atlanta was dyed in blood from the various zombies she'd killed, giving her a blood warlock vibe. She didn't know if she could get infected with this much zombie blood on her but she guessed not, as she hadn't been bitten or scratched yet.

[Zombies killed: 559/1000]

It had been another hour, making it three hours now since the fight between Atlanta's team and the countless flesh eaters began. She could see the lv2 zombie way behind the hoardes of zombies, just watching in with a demented smile on it's face.

She didn't know why it hadn't attacked them since, seemingly lurking as she knew it was much stronger and faster than the level one's.

[Lv2 zombies tend to pose a higher level of intelligence and authority than the one's at level one, since they've evolved to the next stage. Judging from his behavior, I can boldly say he's having fun by stalking all of you. Sending out the weaker one's to tire you off, before it finally comes and picks the bones.] Nexus calmly said, a hint of worry and fear in his tone.

"Coward.. face me like a monster!" Atlanta yelled to the lv2 zombie staring at her, with it's dead eyes. The undead then growled displaying it's disgusting teeth, a strange dark red blood dripping out from the side of it's mouth.

[He probably won't attack until he sees an opportunity.] Nexus softly said.

'Yeah? Why don't we take the fight to him.' Atlanta then activated energy blast multiple times, running forward with speed towards the lv2 zombie. She could see the creature's expression changed a bit to surprise, but it immediately returned back to it's usual intimidating smile.

'No, what's she doing..' Mira panicked, seeing Atlanta fiercely charge at the lv2 zombie. She wanted to stop her, but she was too preoccupied by the countless zombies that had surrounded her.

'Nexus, you said it has higher intelligence and authority which means it's sending out orders to the level one's right?'

[Yes]

'So what happens if I kill him?'

[Well am not for sure but technically, the chain of command would be broken. Though the zombies would still attack, but they would be disarranged.] Nodding, that was all Atlanta needed to hear as she was going to end this once and for all.

[Battle frenzy mode: 100]

[Host is now in battle frenzy mode!]

[User's stats has been multiplied by ×45%!]

[Strength: 44(+19.8)

[Agility: 35(+15.75)]

[Stamina: 31(+13.95)]

Atlanta could feel a surge of energy rising in her, as the system screen flashed before her eyes. Leaping, she felt her body more lighter and agile as she descended downwards with rage, activating energy blast. She could feel the energy surging faster in her, raging wildly as it burst out from her fist upon impact, creating a huge wave of purple electrified currents killing everything within a 15 meter radius.

"Ugh!" Sole and the rest were flung back from the huge shockwave, and the building also wasn't spared as a huge chunk of it cracked severing in two.

[Kill a thousand zombies quest completed!]

[Reward has successfully been allocated to user!]

"There's nowhere to run bastard." Atlanta angrily said her fist clenched. The male zombie then grinned widely, a thick green vein appearing on it's forehead. Without any delay the two shot forward, clashing at the center both their fists swung out.

'Boom!' A small explosion occured as the two fists collided, causing the building to shift off balance more to the side. The two power houses didn't relent, fiercely battling off at each other.

'Bam!' Atlanta activated energy blast punching to the zombies guts, but it surprisingly dodged opening it's jaw wide, clamping down on Atlanta's arm. Dodging, she kicked his head sending him to a wall.

The lv2 zombie immediately regained himself, but was met with another punch to the head from Atlanta.

'Bang!' A gunshot sound went off as Atlanta activated power punch, slamming her fist to his head. With her boost in strength and power punch activated, she'd expected it to kill the zombie but was very much alive.

Atlanta could see the zombie was on par with the same speed as her's. She was careful to dodge all it's attack, striking when she saw fit.

'Boom! boom.. bam!' The building shook more with each punch with a piece of it falling away, and it wouldn't be long before they were crushed.
