Corruption i

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 could 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 could 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 could 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...
