Chapter 51: Leaving The Refugee: Part 2 (1/2)

”Stand back and deal with the horde. I'll deal with the big one.” Said Gray as he stepped up.

After seeing what he had done earlier inside, no one doubted Gray's abilities. They didn't doubt it but... Looking at that Giant zombie on steoroids, they couldn't help but wonder whether he was alright in the head.

The zombie was charging at them, and would go into contact with them any second by now. The ground trembled with every step of it, as it ran on it's fours.

After getting a closer look, they could see that it's arms were twice the size of it's head.

Gray on the other hand, was a young fit man with two knives in his hand who hadn't even reached his prime age.

And yet-

[Pause Step]

Gray vanished, appearing in the air in front of the charging zombie. Dropping as he swung his knife down.

[Pause]

It was in no way close to the zombie. Everyone thought he had misjudged the distance and missed.

But that was far from it, upon landing on a platform of air, above a horde of swarming zombies, gray muttered the word.

[Pause]

Meanwhile, he could hear everyone shouting at him to move out of the way as the large zombie would littearly trample over him. However-

*Slash*

They were left speechless, their jaws dropped as that large zombie was vertically sliced in half, it's organs and blood spilling out of it from the inside, almost covering Gray if not for the fact that he had paused the air above him, creating a rectangle which he used as an umbrella.

[You have slain Level 2 Mutated Tank Zombie]

[You have earned 10 XP]

[XP Required to level up: 284/300]

[Pause Step]

As if none of that had just happened, Gray could be seen pause stepping in front of the hordes, which drew closer and closer, swinging his knife ahead of them and then pausing, whilst he stepped back..

He did this because there was still a risk of getting bitten if he fought them from close up.

[You have slain a zombie- You have slain a zomb- You have slain a zombie!]

[Zombies slain: 6...7...8...]

[XP Gained, accumulating.]

”Realm had a cool name like Spatial tear... Hm... I guess I should think of a cool name t this move...” He uttered to himself, after having three slashes paused.

He could no longer use pause, as it would cancel out the horizontal slashes he currently had which were dealing with most of the zombies which walked into it.

Seeing as how the horde of zombies drew closer. The people who had been watching in amazement now began to strike back.

”Now isn't the time for us to be admiring! Let's kill those monsters!!” The flame guy shouted as he gathered the flames in his hand before releasing them like a flamethrower across the body of the zombies.

[Pause Step]

Gray appeared beside him, standing ahead of his group. Kylo's mother was still healing him, Lita still had her eyes shut and Violet and Aurora were looking directly at Gray, waiting for his next instructions.
