The Zombie Tournament

Act 13 : Force of Remorse

A zombie with arcane power. None of those has ever been known in the world of man. Sanna Gunnar’s randomly-induced capabilities in magic has been one and only knowledge of such combination for the young knight ahead, but garb-wearing dead magician of their enemy’s ranks has broaden Zeno Gunnar’s information of the world he’s living in.

He could initiate a mixture of wind and dust to knock away Gorand industries’ enemy from existence. The magician zombie has carried those power by enlightenment of green-induced ability from his palm. A living dead should never do such mystical arts without a functional brain to carry on, of course, but the beast’s presence has defying many parts of compulsory components of an intellectual in magical enchantment at most.

(zing!)

For another command to follow, the silent controller on the back side initiated the magician zombie’s blue power. In return, the arcane beast called a sheer force of transparent wall ahead of their position, enveloping both of magician zombie and its collectors out from harm.

(click-click)

To the following turn, The main controller of the zombie seemed reluctant to stop on summoning another form of mystical arts. Shortly after, the magician zombie’s eyes shifted to red, bringing another form of magic to unfold.

(groo-groo)

As to the next, He convened a local tremor around the opponent’s zone of defense. It cracks the layer of earth under Tonado warrior’s standing ground and tearing it upside-down. Many buildings close to their impending area of warfare were collapsed and fallen down to the ground by the crushing damage of the quake. For the thriving warriors of Tonado, most of them has been returned to full-awareness after such storm of wind beckoned, but the sudden impact has brought them into constant drop-down afterwards.

(c***k-c***k)

Tonado’s human survivor went down little-by-little within the crumbling structure of the rock around their feet. Zeno Gunnar has no solitude in his guard position due to the impending shock, but still could apply on a list of command into both of his zombie’s brain anyhow.

The female collector, in the opposite, was bending down as an impending response to the utter vibration of their current battleground. Tanya Rushdi was under protection of the fist-fighter zombie, sitting beneath his clutch to wait for the earthquake to subside.

(click-click)

Within his sprint against the pounding earth’s center, Zeno Gunnar marks a burst of piston on Sanna’s calves for additional running speed of the young speedster zombie ahead. To encounter their enemy’s advance, Juno Rumondor has applied Tonado’s latest construction for replacing Zellot’s technology prior to the battle. It was lesser in being a powerful output if compared against Prischnell’s, but could still beyond natural progression of a common speedster zombie in general.

“Time to kill that arcane bastard, Sanna.”

(zung)

‘Speed burst initiated, brace for impact.’

Sanna Gunnar’s agility goes two-fold of its usual day, increasing steadily in every steps of the beast’s run against the collapsing terrain below them. Similar to the young speedster, Juno’s female zombie flows ahead of him in red-originated velocity. The old captain has an automatic mechanism for altering his modified zombie’s list of instruction, as Juno Rumondor never touched his wristwatch along their way to clear out from the earthquake’s epicenter.

On the other hand, the legendary warrior was able to withstand the tremble and staying strong in its stance. All-rounder mode has given him an upper-hand in movement stability, creating an equilibrium below the leg and improving Deino Gunnar’s control on its feet. A blow of powerful air-stream could lift him upwards and disabling the beast for awhile, but none of a low-down struggle could prevent him on moving forward anyway.

(tap-tap-tap-tap)

“Graaaa!”

Deino Gunnar tracks towards the edge of the dropping down earth and thrusting himself outside of the calamity afterwards. Sanna and Juno’s female zombie were a spring distance before him and attempting  to move forward in advance to the four-legged zombie’s frozen state. Their master were still in struggle to traverse the tremor on their feet, but most of them were unharmed by the repeated clicks of seismic activity down below.

(clang!)

The four-legged zombie has been thawed out from his ice entrapment, apparently. Against his former opponent of Minopia’s department store, The beast laid out its prime thrust towards him in immediate fashion. Deino Gunnar’s past experience in one-on-one combat instilled its instant muscle-reaction towards such surprise attack, swiftly encounter the four-legged zombie’s assault with his Golden Greatsword’s edge subsequently.

(tang!)

By the power of an all-rounder’s might, the legendary warrior smacks away his opponent’s golden axe in an instant, yet failed to disarm the golden axe from his grip. However, their instant clash opened a gap across the four-legged’s front side, resulting in a fair share of area to s***h into.

(tang!)

Shortly after, Deino Gunnar used the moment of opening to swerve a strike towards the beast’s metallic arms, but still unable to tear them down in a swing.

(swoosh!)

“Graaa!”

In a matter of seconds, Deino Gunnar laid out a second sweep to the four-legged’s weapon-less arm for following the beast’s leak in defense. This time around, his assault successfully left a scrape on the outer layer of the four-legged’s bicep, eventually granted him a chance to spoil another run to finish it off.

(clang!)

For the third, however, someone has tackled Deino Gunnar’s upper body before he could thrust another instance of attack towards the beast’s metal wound. The person’s direct impact was powerful enough to send the legendary warrior’s entire figure flying away from the nearly-defeated beast. Arcane master of their team was nibbling its own manners on the rear, while their controller has standing idle at the outermost back of Gorand industries’ entire formation at the time.

It was Damon, the caped-assassin of Gorand Industries. His eyes were shining in blue, painstakingly identical to the zombie’s archetype abilities at most. For a form of man once known to be deadly in speed-killing, a human would be feared for having a glimpse of the dead in both of his pupils considerably.

At the same time, the two speedster zombie has making their way towards the magician zombie’s current position. Sanna Gunnar was assigned for eliminating the magician zombie’s figure by his brother’s input. Meanwhile, Juno Rumondor’s water-spouting palms latched open ahead of the magician zombie’s settlement, just as ordered by her master’s decree.

(crash!)

Streams of water emanates from the hole inside her palms for the second lapses of attack. It flows underneath a small gap below the barrier’s line of shape and occupied his feet soon after. From a small drip of an ankle, the water-spouting zombie increased its volume to about halfway on the calves. In immediate fashion, the high-water levels below the transparent shield has steadily flow to its surroundings soon after.

(splash!)

A wave of the water stream has arrived to the crumbling-down areas of Tonado's ground. It rained onto the thriving warrior's head and created a mush of dirt below their legs. In their fluke, many instances of rocks and pebbles from the buildings saved them up from finding a way out, therefore making an emergency pathway for themselves to climb upon.

On the other way around, Juno Rumondor has acknowledged such situation to happen as planned, hence his decision to shout into the earpiece as early as he could.

“Shoot at it, Rudolfo!”

(bang!)

Of course, being out of nobody's reach made the marksman knows of a proper way to behest. Rudolfo has predicting of such strategy when perceiving Juno’s female zombie burst of flood from afar. A flash of suppressing fire was hauled down from Rudolfo’s sniper rifle as their leader commanded. In adverse to his usual ammunition, however, Rudolfo applied a special bullet towards the wave of fluid onto the enemy’s ground.

(freeze!)

The long-distance sniper has reloaded a freeze-bullet from Juno Rumondor’s latest invention. As a result, Long-term constant tremor has been eliminated due to the ice-covered zombie magician of Gorand industries. As their impending menace stopped, Tonado’s zombie collector could raise up a level on the ground in rather peaceful manner.

To ensure no other move coming up from the magician zombie afterwards, Rudolfo’s zombie mate laid another bullet to their frozen opponent immediately. By the substantial damage to the living dead’s main engine, they have no worries of any further contact against him after its body thawed out.

And now, it is time for Sanna Gunnar to finish their opponent's main controller, which was staying in the corner for writing down instructions towards the four of them at once. The speedster zombie dashes in haste for an ultimate punishment against the actual person to decimate.

On the other hand, Juno’s female zombie was following his example, as well. She runs in speed on the slight-back of their parallel formation and preparing her fist to laid out once they arrived.

(swoosh!)

Yet, a mind-bending terror appeared before they could make it to the master.

(clang!)

Damon deflected Sanna Gunnar’s combination attack with Juno’s female zombie by utilising both of the dagger at the same time. He used the enchanted keris for dealing against Sanna Gunnar’s black sword. On the other side, the man managed to block Juno’s female speedster zombie with other dagger’s hilt.

“Huh, you’re far too slow for a mere beast.” Damon teased them out, even though he knows of their brain’s incapacity to respond in verbal phrase,”For now, let me show you speed.”

The man then chanted a spell to his trusted magical dagger, murmuring towards the steel with slanted eyebrows on the face,“That sniper’s a foul one, Samila. Kill him on the spot.”

(zuuu)

(jab!)

“....”

Damon’s fabled keris flies down towards Rudolfo, the main marksman of Tonado’s group. She glides in four times the speed of sound, much faster than the man’s reaction to the blast. In an instant, the keris pierces Rudolfo’s head and brought it to explode inside-out. Juno Rumondor’s meat-shield bomb was only fitting as a cadaver for the sniper’s lifeless body. It covers him in entirety, as presumed for the automatic mechanism of the protection, but failed to made him dismissed against such velocity of the steel.

“Rudolfo!” Juno Rumondor shrieked,”Cover yourself, everyone! Serena’s in rampage!”

Of course, their master’s death means one thing for the zombie. Anyone’s living dead will run in their untamed sense after a person’s wristwatch goes deactivated by force of death. Their irrepressible thirst for human flesh characteristic would be returned in following of an hour afterwards.

The only way for them is to avoid the beast’s assault, that’s for certain.

Being a sniper-worn living dead at best, Rudolfo’s partner has targeted many of its own allies to be shot. It has a number of ammunition left by its owner inside the satchel, tucked in rounds and automatically reloaded once all of them goes depleted. At the least, all of its current bullet stocks are more than sufficient to murder everyone on its path.

(bang!)

The beast started with Tanya Rushdi, which was running dead last compared to her athletic friends of Tonado. Luckily, her fist-fighter zombie was guarding her back and receiving the sniper head zombie’s bullet beforehand.

“Fuh! Thanks, brother. I owe you one.” Tanya Rushdi slapped her chest on the fist-fighter admirable act, “ You’ll be eating a full body tonight.”

(boom!)

On the verge of a second blast from the sniper-head, Juno Rumondor flicks a button inside his backpack. It incited a considerable discharge within Rudolfo’s load of ammunition, eventually destroying all of the sniper-head’s body into pieces.
