Since he wasn't able to retrieve his weapons from the system inventory before the apocalypse descended he had been forced to crudely use the power armour to tank the zombies.
While there was no issue with this,the main function of the armour was to protect and provide strength not to slam into zombies!
Thus when the system came back online he immediately took out the Resonant chain blade,who knows when the silly system would go into hiding again.
In the blink of an eye a jet-black,double edged sword materialized in his hand. The sword had a sci-fi look due to the ridge like structures all around it's centre ridge giving it a modular look. There was also a faint emerald green glow in the ridges though it wasn't that visible.
At first glance the sword looked looked like one of those cheap cosplay equipment due to the flashy colours and the ridge like structures however,only Dante j owe how powerful this sword was.
While in the current era most people rarely used cold weapons they would become exceedingly popular later in the apocalypse as they dealt the most damage to both mutated monsters and zombies.
Gripping the handle of the weapon Dante glanced at the half a dozen or so zombies trying to get into a snack stall despite it being locked.Judging from the looks of it there seemed to be people inside the stall or else the zombies wouldn't have been so adamant. For Dante this was the best scenario as they were coincidentally just the right amount,not too much yet not too small. Just right to test his skill and weapons.
Grinning, Dante yelled at them.
"Hey uglies,over here!"
Hearing the voice of a human all the zombies immediately turned around before they staggered over frenziedly abandoning the stall,this was fresh prey!
Since the humans hiding inside the stall had decided to turtle up in there they on weren't able to do anything except continue banging the metal shutters. Thus when they saw a lone human,they rushed without thinking—not that they could think in the first place.
[Classless Undead detected!]
[Abilities: Enhanced strength, Undead infection(can turn any creature their body fluids come in contact with into an undead.]
[Energy level:0]
[Weakness: Extremely slow due to their reduced mental faculty]
Looking at the results of the system analysis,Dante wasn't surprised as the information tallied with what he knew. The system analysis wasn't that useful right now to him though there was a chance it would probably shine when he went against stronger adversaries in the future.
Right then the first zombie arrived lunging straight for his throat in a predictable manner causing him to turn back to reality.
He still had a battle ongoing.
"Maximum effort!"
Dodging sideways he roared as he rammed an elbow into the zombie's back which was immediately followed by a loud crunch as the zombie's backbone was shattered,it was effectively immobilized. Kicking it back he rushed ahead to face the others while wielding the Resonant chain blade.
In one fluid motion the blade of the Resonant chain blade flashed,easily severing the neck of another zombie grabbing the headless body he threw it at a coulple of female zombies causing them to trip and fall.
While they were still clambering to rise up the Resonant chain blade swiftly flashed again as another two heads joined the ones on the floor.
Now we're talking,this was how a fight was supposed to be!
The last zombie wasn't even able to come close before a huge fist slammed it's face causing a gory explosion of brain matter and blood.
Crunch!
Raising his armoured foot he stepped on the head of the first zombie he fought crushing it like a piece of rotten egg.
Looking at the destruction and zombie bodies littering the floor an indescribable feeling rose up in his heart.
If you asked Dante what he was thinking about right now it was about his past life and why the system hadn't come back then.
Remembering the pitiful way he had run for his life on the first day in the apocalypse he was somewhat embarrased, he had literally been chased around by zombies then not even daring to retaliate but now?
Just look at the cool moves he was pulling off! The difference was like night and day!
All that action however took a lot of energy from him. Technically, it was his gear sense that was powering the power armour and not an external battery source. Hence he still felt a drain on his body and mind. While he could still fight he estimated he could only do this twice…maybe thrice? Still it was awesome!
"Hey over here!"
He was about to leave to find a quiet place to recuperate his lost strength when suddenly he heard someone yell towards him.
Fuck!
Instantly he cursed as this shout had drawn the attention of some zombies over to this side.
Glaring in the direction of the snack stall where the noise came from he was surprised to see the spectacled student from the top plaza waving at him excitedly.
Had this guy gone crazy from fear?
With a puzzled look Dante mumbled to himself as he was confused. He could understand it if it was him since he was excited due to his gear but what about this kid? Was he also a system user?
He wasn't able to consider these questions as some zombies had already arrived.
Without hesitation he rushed towards the snack stall entering it in the blink of an eye while young man quickly drew the shutters down in record time leaving the zombies with nothing but a cold metal door. The sounds of their claws scratching against the wall was enough to send shivers down the spine of any human.
"Hey help me with this!"
Struggling as he pushed some heavy tables over Dante joined him and the door was soon barricaded.
Sliding down the back of the table Dante was finally able to relax. He however felt something only to notice the spectacled student looking at him with shining eyes as he turned.
Immediately he became wary while growling.
"What the hell's with the weird look?!"
Realizing that he was staring too much the student backed off a bit while coughing pretentiously though he still continued looking at Dante. Eventually he couldn't
hold it any longer and asked.
"Brother you're sooooo cool! Are you from the future?"
