Chapter 59 Struggles against the Dead (1/2)
Day 2: 8:00 A.M
Kirishima High School - Bus
Time before the Night Rage: 12 hours left
**********************************************************************************
Kyosei bulldozed the cars that are blocking the roadway without problem as he stepped on the accelerator. Despite bulldozing the tiny cars, the bus didn't have a single dent and instead destroying all, cars or undead
The tires screech as the bus crashes the blockage used to separate the school ground and parking lot. The screeching sound causes the dead to be attracted to the bus.
”Figures!” Kyosei stepped on the accelerator causing the bus to move forward towards the undead.
”I will be having trouble on going low-key!” Kyosei muttered. His plan to acquire the bus is really high profile and will attract unwanted attentions instead.
Kyosei steered the bus hard and even though he is a beginner, it is not that surprising for Kyosei. He tapped his headphones to contact Nanami.
”Kyosei!” Nanami's voice is transmitted.
”Prepare everyone! I am going to arrive near the library soon!” Kyosei said.
”No! Kyosei! There is a creature wreaking havoc near the library! Do not engage it to battle!” Nanami roared in the speaker.
”Huh? What are you talking about? Anyways, I am almost there soprepare everyone! I'm Out!” Kyosei tapped the headphones without having Nanami say anything.
With the speed of the bus, reaching the vicinity of the Old Building quickly is not a problem at all. After his contact with Nanami, he can see on his vision the Old Building on the distance.

Day 2: 8:03 A.M
Kirishima High School - Bus: Old Building Vicinity
Time before the Night Rage: 11 hours and 57 minutes left
**************************************************************************
Kyosei finally know what Nanami is saying. Not too far from the Old Building, a sort of creature is slowly walking and attacks other undead in the vicinity. Not a single one is spared. Kyosei can see that this creature is much bigger than the Juggernaut that he faced last night.
The creature's face is not distinguishable due to its skin that looks like it has been burned. A few parts of its body is also composed of charred corpses as he can see different parts of the undead it consumed on its tentacle like arms. If Kyosei were to describe it, it is a very big failure as an undead and as a creature. It cannot be called as the undead as it no longer bear the same features of a human and it cannot be also called as a human as it is no longer holding its own consciousness. Moreover, if it is an undead, it is a cannibal one since it also consumes other undead for its own body. Kyosei also noticed that everytime it consumes an undead, it seems to grow bigger and bigger. As time passes by, it looks more like an Ouroboros which is one of the big enemies in the game ”God Eater”. It also have those rotten tentacles for some reason which makes Kyosei label this monster as a ”Behemoth”.
Kyosei steered clear on this new enemy since he know that he is no match to it if he fights against it. He almost died against a Juggernaut, what can he even do to beat this creature which is obviously a living tank. The bus moved away from the creature but the undead around that are following the bus are all following the bus which is hard to get rid off.
As Kyosei continue his evasion against the dead, Nanami once again reconnected to his headphones.
”Kyosei! Distract the creature while we prepare!” Nanami shouted.
”Who will protect everyone?” Kyosei asked.
”Leo and the others can fight for a while and will help out! They just needed enough time! I will establish contact to you if we need to board the bus!” Nanami said.
Kyosei gritted his teeth. This is obviously hard and really dangerous. If Kyosei just control his own body instead of a vehicle to dodge the enemy, it might be good but since it is the opposite to it and has low mastery on vehicles, Kyosei will be having a hard time.
