CHAPTER 76: Payment for being Arrogant
"Yes?" Leo turned around to face Tyson
"Well... our families are till missing and I think my dad is in the station, am saying, please let me come with you?"
Leo thought for a moment and nodded. "Ok but stay close, black zombies are not easy to take down."
"Come on Leo, these zombies are all the same." Sam said walking ahead.
"Come Leo, let show you how to deal with a black zombie" Mike said and followed Sam.
"You guys are starting to get cocky" Mila Said shaking her head.
"Let go look for your father, or you guys families" Leo said following them.
Tyson nodded and beckon for the two to follow, thiva and Garrett looked at each others and nodded, rushing up to their friend.
After walking for a while the group got to a spot where all the death squad members crouched down, in Front of them stood an unholy horde of zombies with countless red zombies and one black zombie.
"My lord that is the big one" the death squad member said silently to Leo.
Leo nodded calmly.
Mike: "What the hell?"
Sam: "I hope that one is stronger than those red zombies."
Mila: "why are they so much zombies here?"
"They are following the black zombie, we need to hurry up because this guy target is the station, if he attack their defense will fall Like a castle made of cards." Leo said calmly.
"That defense look pretty sturdy, are you sure about that Leo?" Ricky said staring at the defense.
"You guys should stop doubting me, it's frustrating but if you think you can face it go ahead" Leo said in mild annoyance.
"We aren't doubting you Leo but the way you speak" Ricky stopped and added "we are more powerful now so we can at least kill one black zombie"
Leo just smile calmly and said "fine then, Nora and I will stay back and watch you guys."
Mike: "can't wait"
Sam: "Let go"
Ricky: "Thanks for the opportunity Leo"
The rest were speechless staring at the three as if they have grown extra head.
"Let go!" Sam shouted and changed towards the zombies followed by Mike, Ricky and Jack.
The death squad members and the others stood beside Leo, keeping a save distance from the zombies.
"Leo why are you letting them act like this?" Nora asked silently not understanding Leo way of thinking.
"They think they have gain power and that all the zombies are equal, they need to face defeat and know that all zombies are not equal, they is a big power gap between a red and black zombie, only when you are a sky realm fighter will you have a high success rate against a black zombie. They are only core formation three stars, and they think they are the strongest." Leo stopped and continue:
"They need to know that If you want to be arrogant you need to have the capital, even a silver zombies can kill them easily and the claimed to be powerful." Leo shook his head with a small smile.
Everyone face changed dramatically hearing Leo words.
Why didn't Leo stop them? they are all charging to their death without even knowing it.
"Don't worry I won't let them die" Leo said to ease everyone worries.

"Hey mother-fuckers!!!" Mike said turning himself to metal as he charged inside the zombies line.
"Yeah, let show Leo what we are capable of!" Ricky yelled enveloping his sword with his flames.
"Yeah!!" Both Sam and Jack yelled joining the clash.
The four create a massacre, killing countless red and normal zombies without a second pause.
All aiming to prove themselves to Leo.
The black zombie just stood still, staring at the humans who were busy killing all his kind, not even planning to interfere.

[ Moments later ]
"They have been fighting for a whole 20 minutes now" Mila said a little surprise.
The death squad members were speechless, they planned to assist but Leo stopped them. So they all stood still watching the battle.
Whoosh...
With A slash Sam finally killed the last zombie.
"That one make it 1,000." Mike said placing his bloody broadsword on his shoulder.
"That fool stood there all this time" Ricky said a little surprise.
"Can this thing think like a human being?" Jack asked staring at the black zombie who remained motionless.
"I don't care about that! This thing will have to go down." Sam said the next moment a big tiger made of earth formed beside her and with a thought, the earth tiger lunged forward at the black zombie.
The humanoid figure with shiny black skin, black eyes, standing 8 foot tall, his right hand made of green and black veins which made him looked like a mini black giant with a mutated right arm.
Seeing Sam earth tiger charging toward him the black zombie finally make a move, he was so fast that even Jack was shock.
While charging his right hand made of green and black veins formed a sharp greatsword and with a slash.
WHOOSH...
Sam earth tiger was cut into two equal half, the black zombie didn't slow down but increased his speed rushing at the group.
"What the fuck, that thing just destroyed my summon!" Sam said surprised written all over her face.
"Here it come!" Mike said making his broadsword more sturdy and sharp.
The group prepared their strongest skill not underestimating this zombie who could turned his hand into weapons.
"NOW!!" Mike shot forward with his sword and collide with the zombie.
BOOM!!!
A sonic boom sounded as the two sword collide creating a powerful sonic wave which spread to all directions even reaching Leo and those beside him.
BANG!!!
Mike flew out and crashed in Front of the three.
"AUGH!!"
Mike growl in pain, standing up with the help of his sword, if that sword was a normal weapon it would had broken to pieces in that clash.
'Hmm interesting.' Leo thought in mild surprise.
"Mike are you ok!!" Sam asked checking up on Mike.
"Am good but what about that zombie?" Mike asked and the other turned their head staring at the thick black smoke.
After some minutes the smoke finally disperse revealing a normal looking black zombie who was staring at the humans in Front of it with bloodlust.
Jack; "how's this possible?!"
Ricky: "not even a scratch!"
Sam: "What the...?"
The group stared at the black zombie with opened jaw, the zombie didn't give them time to think as he shot forward his right hand forming another weapon a big battle Axe.
"We need to kill this thing!!" Ricky roar and the four changed at the black zombie meeting it head on.
BANG
BANG
BOOM
BANG
BOOM!!!
Different types of skill was released by the four from fire to wind blades to even metal and earth spikes towards the zombie, all in vein.
The only lethal damage they could cause on the black zombie was cutting off his weapon hand.
Which grew back in matter of minutes shocking the four celestial kings more.
"I don't think I can survive in this battle" a celestial death squad member said calmly.
"Me too, it's already a good thing our kings can hold on till now" another added.
"Why is our Lord not helping?" Someone asked silently.
"He is showing us they are Much stronger enemies ahead so we shouldn't act arrogantly because they are things more stronger than us out there." The girl said calmly.
"You might be right, our leader is the best." The death squad members said with a smile.
"Leo shouldn't we assist now?" Nora asked while Mila stared at Leo waiting for his answer.
"Not yet" Leo said.
___
BOOM!!
Both Sam and Jack were knock 20 steps back, the two drag their legs on the ground trying to stabilize themselves.
"This is bullshit! It's only one for God sake!!" Sam roar in frustration.
"Leo might be right, we aren't ready our skill are not even advanced like Nora's" Jack said with gritted teeth.
Graaaa....!!
The zombie let out a angry growl as Ricky lit it on fire, he charged and smashed his big war hammer on Ricky.
"Fuck!!"
Ricky yelled and somersault back dodging the zombie deadly attack and landed in Front of Sam and Jack.
"What type of monster is this? And Leo said with time this zombie will be everywhere! For God sake we'll face more stronger zombies!!!" Ricky almost screamed.
BOOM...!!!
Mike finally cut off the zombie legs and before he could continue the zombie gave him a straight punch sending him flying back.
BANG!!!
Mike crashed on the ground throwing up a mouthful of blood.
"Mike!!!" The three shouted and rushed up to him.
The zombie was not giving up and after his leg regenerate back he shot forward only to be thrown back by two crescent energy slash.
GRAAAA.....!!!!!
The zombie let out a painful growl as he looked up at the figure standing above him with two glowing swords.
"Nora.." The four sighed in relief.
"I hope you guys learnt your lesson" Leo said, calmly walking toward them.
"Piff... Look at you guys" Mila said trying to hold back her laughter.
"This is not funny!" Sam growl at her.
"Ok, ok, watch me and Nora take down this thing." Mila said walking toward the zombie, countless water wave rose from the ground floating behind her.
The wind surge and surround Nora blades as she prepare for her highest level of attack.
