Chapter 26: The Mysterious Sibling Pair: Part 3. (2/2)

Instead of moving again to dodge the second one however, he swung his blade down in front of him, pausing the slash upon doing so.

The flying mutated zombie, prepared for collision thrust it's peck forward aiming to pierce Gray.

The outcome however, was it's blood spilling on Gray as it's severed body, passed right by him. It came into contact with his paused slash, causing it to split directly in half.

[You have slain a Mutated Level 1 Flying Zombie]

[You have received 8 XP]

[Congratulations, You have levelled up!]

As Gray resumed his run, the notification rang inside of his head. In that instant.

*CRACKLE!* *BWOOSH!*

From the window of the 20th floor, a large Ice spike could be seen as it expanded out, peircing through it.

'Aurora!'

Gray no longer had a way in as it was blocked by the ice. Seeing this, He changed his plan. He passed right by it, heading straight for the rooftop.

As he reached the top, and jumped over the edge, his eyes widened.

A strong breeze blew by, the young boy could be seen standing above a pool of blood filled with a small pile of sliced up flying mutated zombie corpses. His sister was fast asleep on his back, the wind in the area was gathering around them almost as if trying to shield them.

The young boy was clearly at his limits, he panted heavily struggling to hold his consciousness, but despite it all, he had stood his ground. Two of the three flying mutated zombies charged at the two of them.

The young boy was completely out of energy, he stretched out his arm to propel a blade of wind at them, however it was useless. He could do nothing but drop to his knees as he awaited his death.

”Sorry… Sis…” He muttered, closing his eyes as he held her tight, as if using his remaining strength to shield her.

He was genuinely convinced it was the end.

However it had never come. Instead-

”Save your breath and get up.”

A familiar voice rang inside of his ears.

Confused, he opened his eyes, only to find Gray standing there with a kitchen knife. The decapitate corpses of both mutated zombies could be seen on the floor behind him.

Upon seeing this, his heart dropped. Not in fear but admiration. At that moment, for the kid, Gray looked like the most badass guy in the world.

”Where's Aurora?” Gray asked with cold eyes.

The young boy suddenly snapping out of his thoughts, struggled to speak up as he pointed behind Gray, his arms trembling whilst doing so.

He was trying to warn Gray of the approaching threat. The last remaining flying zombie mutation was heading straight at him at an incredibly fast speed.

”B-Behind you!” The kid shouted.

Without turning back, Gray swung his knife backwards. The swing had missed by quite a margin. But in that instant, as the flying mutated zombie just passed by where Gray had swung, it's body was cleanly severed in half.

”Where is she?” Gray asked once more, his eyes as cold as ice.
