Ouch that hurts!"
Screaming inside, Dante ignored the shocked looks the trio were giving him as he quickly went through the Killmonger's stats.
[Mutated zombie detected]
[Mantis Killmonger]
[Level: ??]
[Abilities: Riptide, Death slash, Armour exoskeleton, Killspeed…]
[Energy level: 100 Ena]
[Weakness: Concentrated attacks between the joints of their exoskeleton]
Closing the interface, Dante's face became grim. Each of the Killmonger's stats were top tier! Just the level alone was full of question marks meaning that it was at the very least five levels above him. Furthermore all the abilities it possessed were dedicated to making it a virtuall killing machine, if he wasn't wrong his attack was nothing more than a tickle.
Screeeeech!
As if to confirm that the broken wall that had collapsed suddenly blasted outwards as the kill monger stood up without any sign of being injured.
At the same time countless growls could be heard from their back. Turns out that a horde of zombies had also found their way here due to all the commotion making an already bad situation even more dire.
He had previously planned to quickly escape but the appearance of this horde disrupted that plan—since they couldn't leave then fight they had to fight!
"Here, take this…." Saying this he tossed a bunch of electromagnetic grenades towards Jason.
"The zombies behind me, don't let even a single one break the line."
"You, you and you.." Pointing at the three girls who were left,he threw three baseball bats at them from the duffel bag he was carrying.
"...I don't care if you can fight or not but right now if you don't wield that bat like a kick ass quarter back you'll die…" pausing he looked at the horrified expressions on their face before continuing as if their life and death meant nothing to him.
"And while I hate to break it to you becoming zombie chow is the last thing you'd want to happen."
Saying this he no longer bothered with them as he faced the Mantis Killmonger.
Strangely enough, the Mantis Killmonger had not attacked since it had risen up, rather it was observing Dante like an hunter observed it's prey which was true since it was a natural born predator.
Crossing it's two blades together it bent low and the mere act of doing that caused the tiles beneath it to crack.
At the same time Dante's power armour also came to life as various sounds rang out from it before a gladiator type helmet covered his head only leaving his face. The Resonant chain blade also appeared in his hand while he positioned himself in a charging position.
"Maximum effort!"
Immediately he said this Dante's face was fully covered by the armour while the Mantis Killmonger also charged out at full speed.
The next moment a loud boom resounded through the whole mall as the two collided with each other causing dust and pieces of crushed tiles to fly all around.
The dust settled soon enough revealing both Dante and the Mantis Killmonger. Dante was currently blocking the blade claws of the Mantis Killmonger with both of his arms in a cross guard stuunning the mutated zombie.
It had never expected this human to be able to block it's charge, raising it's hands to slash the second time it suddenly froze as it realized it couldn't move as a huge force grabbed it's blade arms . The next moment it was hurled like a sack of potatoes causing it to break through a couple of walls before eventually stopping.
"Damn that thing's skeleton is tough!"
Gritting his teeth Dante rushed through the wall he had thrown the zombie through. While it seemed like he had blocked and thrown the Mantis Killmonger back with ease that was not the case.
Rather he had spent a lot of energy just to achieve that and since the power armour had no energy source of its own that meant every expenditure came from utilising his Gear sense.
Thus he needed to end this battle fast.
At the same time the Mantis Killmonger also rose from the rubble a little bit dizzy but more infuriated than dizzy.
Screeching it rushed towards all thoughts of observing it's prey abandoned.
Despite being a mutated zombie at the end of the day it was still a brainless zombie and it was driven by pure instincts thus it decided to just kill that human.
Soon both of them clashed as they started to battle each other again.
************
Meanwhile, immediately after Dante had given Jason the electromagnetic grenades he had quickly charged at the horde of zombies.
Despite the fact that the horryfing monsters were much more than the usual stragglers he was used to he wasn't unfazed instead he felt strangely energetic.
"Come take Daddy's rod of domination!"
Raising the baseball bat high above his head he slammed it into the closest zombie bashing it's head in like a rotten watermelon. Before the zombies body could fall his bat was already sweeping sideways as it hit another zombie bashing it's chest in, another swing quickly reaping it's life.
As he rampaged among the zombies he had to admit that this feeling of fighting against monsters was thrilling.
No wonder that crazy guy had refused to wait for reinforcements.
Another lunged at him while trying to bite him only to be met with the body of the bat before it was pushed back. He still remembered Dante's warning that a single bite was enough to turn him into one of those disgisting monsters.
Removing these distracting thoughts from his mind he focused his attention on getting rid of the zombies before him.
On the other hand the three girls were dumbfounded by the scene before them. They couldn't bring themselves to believe that the same monsters that had left them helpless were being decimated by two people who were probably in the same year as they were.
One of the girl stammered as she watched Jason.
"Su..Susan I'm not seeing things right? Those zombies are being killed like grass!"
The girl who was holding the pistol earlier was the Susan she mentioned. She also had a look of disbelief on her face as she watched the scene before her.
This was just too unbelievable!
However her expression quickly changed as she thought of something before she grabbed the baseball bat that Dante had given her. Shoving them into the hands of the remaining two she urged them
"Regardless of how good they are of we can't just stand here watching we have to fight."
" But they are…"
"Tes no buts!"
Cutting her friend off she glanced at Dante only to see him exchanging blows with the weird zombie from earlier. Immediately the hesitation she was having dissapeared.
"If we want to survive we have to work for it!"
Saying this she immediately rushed forward to join Jason.
The remaini
ng two looked at each other with reluctant expressions before eventually rushing forward too.
"Wait for us!"
