AN: This story was supposed to be fast paced compared to my other ones... I don't think I'm doing a good job at that... At least for now...

******************************

While working on his new task, Erwin though of the notification, and its implications.

'It can't be, did things turn out like in a game? Should I try it? I think I should... Status!'

UNAVAILABLE

System upgrading to merge the laws of the differents worlds.

'You've got to be kidding me!! Things are going to be really ugly in the future. Wil I even survive? People like to think that bad things happen only to other, but for the other, we are the other. Shit, I'm gonna die, right? Fuck it! Shit, shit, shit!!'

Erwin quickly found 2 pieces of metal with which he made a poor quality short sword and a dagger. He used clothes from the dead to warp the handles. As he finished his weapons, a scream of pain was heard near them. A man shot out of the bushes with his pants down and a fresh wound spewing blood on his arm. A second later a quadrupedal creatures jumped on his back, making him fall to the ground. The creature tore through the flesh of his neck with its mouth and finally broke it with a sickening sound.

Seeing this, the survivors that were still talking fell into panick and started running away in all directions, but it proved to be useless. Others creatures came from surroundings and picked them one by one. Of the 70 or so survivors, only 20 of them choose to follow Erwin's advice. Of the 50 or so people that wasted time, 20 were quickly dispatched as they tried to run away. The others were now running toward the armed group, asking for help.

-------

Erwin decided to run away toward the steep slope as he doubted any creature would lay an ambush there. He was followed by 4 of the other people who had made makeshift weapons and 3 others who wanted their protection. However, some of the beasts ignored the preys they were about to kill and went after Erwin's group. He was appaled to see the monsters ignore those who were near them to go after him. Erwin though that he was really going to die this day.

Erwin wasn't the kind of guy who did physical activities regulary. He was only interested in games, novels, music and aeronautics. He was 174cm tall for a weight of 82kg, a little overweight. On this day he gave his thanks to his gardian, who would often drag him along when he trained with his friends on parkour. Thanks to him he had gotten stronger and more agile than what his looks suggested, he had a good balance and had learned to break his falls.

Aside from the severe pain on his burnt arms, he went down the slope without much troubles. He quickly got rid of his backpack to avoid damaging its content during the fight.The same couldn't be said for the 7 people who followed him. One of the armed people pierced her own throat with her makeshift spear, and was now squirming on the ground, suffocating in her own blood while trying to stop the bleeding with her hands. An unnarmed one fell magnificently with his head first against a protubing rock, cracking his skull open and dying on the spot.

As for the creatures that went after the group, they didn't fare any better, many of them broke a leg or more. Most of them were dazed after reaching the bottom of the slope, and Erwin didn't miss the opportunity. While the other 5 people were recovering, he went to the nearest monsters. They were the size of a wolf, thinner, but with bigger and sharper claws and fangs. They didn't have any fur either, and their eyes were looking in slightly differents directions, they looked completely mindless.

He slashed the throat of the first one with surprising ease as his weapon didn't have a sharpened blade. Black blood spurtted out of the wound, but Erwin had already advanced toward the next monster and cut his throat as well. One of the other survivor also went in action, killing one the monster near them and wounding the others. Now evryone present had recovered from their dazzed state. One of the unarmed guy took the makeshift spear of the girl who killed herself and the 5 survivors went near Erwin as the monsters started to surround them.

-------

That's when things went from bad to worse. The wounded monsters started to glow, a golden colored glow, and their cuts and broken limbs started to heal. Erwin and another survivor didn't miss the source of the phenomenon. At the back, nearly hidden in the shadows, was a giant flower, nearly 400cm wide and 150cm tall, a beautifull  flower that seemd to be made of crystal, with a multitude of colors. One thing crossed Erwin's mind, 'healing magic'.

“No fucking way!! As if things weren't already shitty enough!! Now fuck it, I don't want to die!!” screamed one of the 2 girls of their little group.

As if to mock her even more, the 6 humans were surrounded by a dark glow, and they suddenly felt heavier than before. Erwin looked at the guy next to him, the guy looked at him at the same time, then both of them looked at the strange flower. With another quick eye contact, they charged toward toward the monsters blocking their path toward the flower.

'We landed right next to it, and it felt threatened. It called back its minions to deal with us. When we went toward the slope, we made it panic and recall the ones who were killing the other idiots. That flower is controlling them, healing them and debuffinng us. We must take it down quickly'

In their weakened state, Erwin decided to try and use the momentum of the monsters against them as they launched their offensive against the humans. However he had to roll on the ground the next second to avoid a lunging attack, sending spears of pain in his mind as his burned arms went in contact with the ground. The monsters had become faster, and he barely managed to slice the throat of the second one to attack him as he rolled further away.

He heard the scream of pain of the other survivors, but ignored them. Thankfully, the monsters were rather light, so he could at least kick them aways to buy time. He ignored the pain in his arms and swung around to punch and cut the monsters that assaulted him. His comrade wasn't as lucky, and was struggling on the ground to protect his vitals from 4 monsters. Erwin ignored him and used the small opening it created to advance toward the flower.

-------

20 meters was a long distance to cover when fast and deadly monsters were behind you. 2 of the monsters that were ripping his comrade appart went after him, and 2 others who were attacking the last 3 survivors changed targets as well. Erwin's mind was working at its fastest pace to find a way to reach the flower before getting killed. The only thing that came to his mind taking into account the light weight of the opponents and their numbers was a spinning-top.

So, he started spinning while slowly advancing toward the flower. The claws of the monsters were deflected by his makeshift weapons, or brushed aside before they could dig too deeply into his flesh. He was still suffering numerous injuries while advancing, and the beasts were healed each time they received a serious injury. Few of them had died. As he was about to collapse, the last living girl of the group hacked at several monsters from behind, slowing them down enough for Erwin to use this chance.

After sending the last 2 monsters that were in his way toward the others to hinder their path, he made a final dash on the last 10 meters to reach the giant flower and used his remaining strenght to leap toward the center of the flower, where its heart or core was most likely to be. Using all the power he could muster, he hacked at the flower's central parts and around, spraying some translucent liquid around. The petals were moving around as if trying to get rid of him, but it was useless.

He finally reached a hard piece, and focused his efforts on it until it broke. The flower shuddered one last time before getting limp and starting to slowly lose colors. Erwin then lost his strenght and fell face first on the place he had butchered, unknowingly ingesting some of the flower body fluids and a piece of its core. He was tired, all his wounds hurt and he had lost a lot of blood. He just wanted to rest.

-------

The monsters, after the death of the flower, had become completely stunned and confused, and the survivors used this chance to finish them of. Of the 5 others who were with him, only 2 survived, the girl who had helped him and another man. The guy who was with him at the beginning was in pieces, same as the last unarmed guy. The other one died from blood loss after the end of the battle. As Erwin was about to lose conciousness, several notifications appeared in his view.
