The only way to win this fight is to use my remaining mana on him.. I don't know if the other 3 zombies are level 2 also but if they are, then we might all die here tonight, i'm the only one with the system and also the only one with a weapon to fight.. I will fight with all my strength.
I stand up, my belly was hurting but I try to not think of it, I raise the axe in front of me, the zombie was looking at me without emotion on his face but i'm pretty sure he was smiling like a devil person. This time I didn't rush, I wait for him.
I took a defensive position, the zombie was sprinting toward me, once he got close enough to me, I try to chop his arm but the axe was just stuck in the middle of his flesh, leaving a half broken arm, we could see his forearm bone, while chopping his arm the zombie hit me in the left shoulder, fortunately this wasn't the arm I was using.. I feel my health point dropping.. I wait the right time to use my mana because i'm only limited to use " Gigawatt fortify " for only 4 seconds, I need to be sure I can kill him with this leftover mana otherwise we are all doomed.
My blood starts to boil, veins appear on my arms, my eyes are glowing green, I feel like I was super strong but no was just an illusion.. The zombie attack me again, this time I manage to cut off his arm but with a huge cost.. I had a hole in my left shoulder, bones were visible, I screamed in huge pain..
Arianna was shouting but being focused on my fight, I didn’t bother to look at her or even answer
My health point is down to 12.. I have two more chances to kill him.. what a pity if I die right now, I probably should have told Arianna how I feel about her. No, I can't think like this, their life is also on the line..
My stamina also went down by a lot but I can still move, I raise the axe with my two hands this time to have even more power when I strike, I run toward the zombie, he as only one arm left but is power is still way more than me. This time I went for his leg so he will fall on the ground and use the same strategy, " Head crushing ".
When I reach him I bent down and strike right at his knee, but the result was the same as for the arm only half was cut.. Well, it's more than nothing and he will slow down by a lot, between this blow the zombie left three scratches on my cheek, it was a light cost and i'm pretty sure my life drop by just a small amount. I check my status screen, my life is at 7, mana 8 and stamina at 12. Such a low status but I have one more try to kill the zombie.. I use " appraisal " on him to see if he is also as bad as me.

Wow, alright so he is as bad as me, we will decide on who will die and who will survive with this last blow.. I won't hold my mana and use all of it, I want him to pay what he did to me, I want to crush his head so badly, want to tear every part of his body, I want him to suffer. Because of him, maybe everyone will die here..
I fortify my leg, I run to the zombie with a fast speed. The distance was 10 meter, but with my speed it lasts only 1 seconds, I have 3 more seconds to kill this bastard, I launch a beautiful and powerful kick at his head, he fell to the ground without even time to fight back, I left a huge mark on his head, but even with this he didn't die..
2 seconds left until I run out of mana I quickly rush at him and with all my strength and anger I crushed his head with a delight smile on my face. Blood flew everywhere, even on my clothes but I was really satisfied with his death. My mana runs out so the fortify stoped.
You have killed a lv2 zombie. +20 exp points.

----------------------------------------
This was a really close fight, my vision started to blur, I was really exhausted. I saw 6 gold coins and a skill book near his dead body, I picked them up, but I fell to the ground a second after.. when I fell to the ground I saw 3 other zombies not far maybe 50 meters away from me.. So I said in my head.
" Yes, it's the end.. I couldn't even save my friend until the end. What a pity. "
I heard Arianna crying and shouting my name..
She couldn't hear me, but..
" Please don't cry, I had a beautiful life with you and the other.. If you didn't approach me the first time we met, my life would have been only pain.. i'm so glad I meet you all. "
Cassandra runs to me and hold me tightly in her arm while crying. My head where touching her breast hehe.
" Why did she come to me and not Arianna ? " I said in my head.
" Pl.. please hold on, don't you dare die on me.. I need you.. So as the other.. " While crying like a huge fountain.
She was crying so much that I could have drowned, why did she say she needed me, it was so weird, well she was my friend, but it was to a point that I feel like love in her voice. I remember sometimes when Paco and Brendon tease me about Arianna, she always looks angry or something like this, was she jealous ?
" Please leave me and save your life as well as the other, run without looking back.. " I said with a really low and exhausted voice.
" N.. never, we will never leave you, even if they leave you I will stay by your side till the end.. "
I closed my eyes with warmth inside my heart.. Cassandra was crying even more now it was like a waterfall, she will need at least 5 liters of water to recover what she lost...
A huge bright and dark light appears in front of me, was it in my head or in the real world, I couldn't even tell you, was it a death reaper that came to take my life ? Was it the after life that everyone talked about ? Will I reincarnate as a Goat ?
The white light with a cold female voice spoke..
" What fucking nonsense are you talking about, you are not dead.. You are maybe our only hope and yet you almost die to a zombie.. Please grow faster, what's coming next will be really hard.. "
" Status recovery " The black light said with a male voice.
As soon as he said that, three cool green, blue and yellow halo appear all around me.
" You will now wake up and fight to save you and your friends, keep growing.. "
My eyes opened suddenly all my wounds disappear by magic, my mana was full as well as my stamina.. What the hell just happened ? Who were they ?
Anyway, I really need to learn this skill if it's one, it's so overpowered, maybe it's in the skill book I just pick up.
" Hector ! All your wounds are closed ! In one instant you suddenly heal.. How is that possible ? " Cassandra said with a blank look.
" I will explain later, just know that i'm fine. I need to keep fighting those zombies, so please go hide in the house. " I kissed her on the cheek.
She flushed, and run to the ruined house.
I turn and smile at Arianna, she smile me back, but with tears in her eyes.
Now let's look at the skill book hope it's like the dark light guy spell, I appraised it.
" Earth wall " skill book.
Earth type spell. Summon a wall made of dirt, the spell can be used as a defensive wall to counter attack or spell, can also be used to build a dirt castle. More information will be available if you learn this skill.
Open the book to learn this skill.
" Dirt castle.. This system is truly trolling me.. well it can be useful to repair some of the broken wall and have a better shelter even if it's a disgusting dirt. " I was really disappointed that I didn't get a good offensive skill, next fight will be hard and exhausting.
I open the book and learn " Earth wall " I don't need this skill yet so I will look at the skill detail later, now let's just focus on the other three zombies. I can't fight three at once so I try to attract only one, I went only 20 meters away from one and he spotted me and started running, I instantly retreat to not attract the other.
I needed to check if those were also lvl 2 zombies, when I used " appraisal " i saw one lvl 2 and the othere were lvl 1 so I was a little bit more reassured. I use " Icicle projectile " on the zombie I attracted and aim at his leg. A bright white trail appears and the icicle struck the zombie, unfortunately it didn't break the leg.. 10 mana lost like this, only 2 shots left, I decide to not use them, I don't know if I will need for the next fight so I will just try using my strength to cut the leg, I fortify my feet to improve my speed and rushed toward the zombie. I hit his half broken leg and cut it, a leg flew in the sky with a trail of blood following it, the zombie still hit me but it was only a light wound, he fell to the ground and was scrawling in my direction. Now that he is on the ground, he can't hit me and I will just face crush him.
Since I just cut one of his legs, his life was still high and decided to strike his head, I need 3 big hits to damage him severely and finished by my home made signature face crush.
You have killed a lv2 zombie. +20 exp points.
He dropped only 6 gold coins
You reach level 3, you gain 5 mana max, 1 intelligence, 1 wisdom. You also gain 1 stat point and 1 skill point
" Oh nice, didn"t expect to level up so quickly. "
I put 1 point in intelligence since I need the regen so badly and the skill point into "gigawatt fortify " since it's my best spell at the moment. My mana went up by 10.
" Now it's your turn little zombies " I said with a devil smile while looking at the remaining zombies.....
