Chapter 25: The Mysterious Sibling Pair: Part 2 (2/2)

Without wasting a second second, he rolled to the side, washing as pieces of their corpses went crashing up into the wall, before he quickly leapt up the stairs.

The notifications rang like crazy.

The trap would only last for five seconds, there was no way it would be able to kill all of them either. Gray now stood on the 16th floor, waiting to repeat the stratergy, when all of the sudden-

*CRASH!*

From the window at the end of the hallway, a strange type of mutated bird came crashing in, with its mouth wide open, as it flew straight at Gray.

It happened so fast that he could barely react, with widened eyes, Gray leapt up the staircase, watching as it did a sharp turn, thrusting itself at him, however it's wings caused it to crash against the staircase

'What the fuck is that?!' Gray questioned as he inspected it.

From it's shape and the way it looked, it's appearance was strangely similar to that of a pteorodactyl.

It was around a meter to two meters in length and it's wings spread almost grazing against both sides of the long hall as it had flown towards Gray.

He didn't know what it was, but there would be no better time to kill it than now. A flying zombie? There was no telling what sort of troubles it could cause.

Gray leapt from the top of the staircase, down on it, watching as it thrust its bloodied peck at him. It's speed was also over the top for the zombie, Gray was barely able to react.

But he did-

Mid-air he rotated his body, with his knife positioned directly in front of it. Using his blade, he drifted of the side of it's peck, taking some of it's skin as he fell right past it.

The monster which had it's wings stuck on the staircase, struggled to turn around and at that moment-

*Pierce*

Gray didn't hesitate to thrust at it from behind, piercing the back of it's head as he held it down.

On top of the notifications from the zombie on the floor beneath being killed, Gray received another notification after killing this one which overlapped the others.

[You have slain a Mutated Level 1 Flying Zombie]

[You have earned 8 exp]

[XP required to level up: 192/200]

After killing the bird, Gray's eyes fell upon the exp required, he was already at 192.Just a few more figures from levelling up. Excitement began tao boil from his heart, as he was about to leap up to the stairs to get in position, when all of the sudden-

*Swoosh*

A zombies bloodied hand swiped past him just before he could. He hadn't noticed it before since he was distracted but, an abnromal had managed to get past his trap.. It was currently on the ceiling above him.

[Unpaused]

Gray's heart sunk, the timer had ended.

From the ceiling, it lunged at Gray, causing him to leap away from the staircase to avoid it. Although he had dodged, it was only the beginning of it's barge of attacks.

It constantly applied pressure, staying on Gray, trying all sorts of moves to attack him.

Gray had to focus all of his efforts into avoiding it, swaying from right to left, leaping from back from side to side, he had many close calls where it just about grazed his skin.

During that moment-

Time seemed to slow down as one by one masses of zombies poured into the floor like flies, some heading striaght towards Gray while others heading up the stairs where the alarms were still ringing.

In that instant, Gray's eyes dilated.

'NO STOP-'

He didn't buy them enough time.
