Chapter 115 - Battling Melee
Nile hops in Maximo back as he instructs him to move forward. Croco follows him, his arm-blade is already ready to slay some zombies.
Dashing at a fast speed, Croco and Maximo race towards the incoming zombie horde.
Nile planned on intercepting them before they could reach the village. That way, the zombie pets wouldn't be as clustered and they would still have a lot of space to maneuver.
If he waited at the village, Nile was pretty sure that they would be swarmed by the zombie pets horde and mutated animals alike.
The village had many buildings and trees that were clustered together, after all.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Maximo and Croco's fast movement caused the air to swoosh. They look like a race car trying to finish the race in the first place.
As per Nile's instructions, the two dodged and evaded the mutated animals coming their way. Their target right now was the zombie pets and nothing else.
Boom!
A zombie deer's body flew back as Maximo rammed it with his head.
A zombie cat had its head sliced in half as it tried to leap towards Croco.
Nile uses Maximo's momentum to make his body bolster towards a dense pack of zombie pets horde. They were trying to bite every part of a mutated deer's body and didn't notice the flying person towards them.
While flying mid-air, Nile positioned his two swords to line them together. He waited and the moment his body arrived above the zombie pets busy infecting the mutated deer, his body twisted along with his blade.
Blood spurted like an upward waterfall.
Multiple zombie pets and zombie animal's heads flew into the air after they got separated from their neck.
Nile landed his feet to the ground. His foot was dragged for a few meters before his body finally stopped. The moment his body stopped, Nile rotated his body to the side and evaded an incoming bite from a leaping zombie dog.
Puts!
The zombie dog was not able to land as its head was now skewered by the Kriegsmesser of Agony. Of course, Nile turned off its Agonizing function. He doesn't want to make the pitiful pets more pitiful after all.
Every slashed that Nile made would take a zombie pet's life. His Katana and Kriegsmesser were now coated with blood.
His clothes and his mask's auto cleaning function couldn't keep up with blood that keeps on coating it in every kill that Nile made.
Strewn and sliced heads were everywhere as Nile's body gradually moved towards the location where more zombies were running.
Using his weight as an advantage, Maximo trampled the small zombie pet's head making them into a meat paste directly. A swing from the sledgehammer from his back would send a body away and a simple nudge from his horn would skewer a zombie pet's head.
The most brutal of the three of them were Croco. Using the two blades mounted on his arms, Croco would slice a zombie pet's limbs first before piercing its head. His back spike was now running with blood as Croco would send his prey towards it if he took a long time to kill it.
The crocodile Croco was now colored red due to the blood from his enemies. His armor had also not helped that much as until now he hadn't met a single strong opponent yet.
Three different locations, three different entities, and three different methods to kill.
Slashing, ramming, piercing, skewering, smashing. Different scenarios of killing and massacre were being played throughout the three locations.
Nile whistled and the two pets instantly arrived in front of him.
The area they were in was now almost devoid of any zombies, they needed to move towards another location to not waste their time.
As they were fighting hard, Nile and his pets couldn't help it and let some zombie pets escape.
However, their numbers are only in the minority as the three if they had done their best to kill the zombie pets that were passing them.
The three were now bathing in blood. If someone saw them from afar, they would definitely shit their pants after seeing the three bloody figures.
Moving as fast as lightning, three bloody figures did their best to kill as many zombie pets as possible.
The sun was setting in the west, and it seemed to be trying to root for the three bloody figures as it had also turned into a bloody sun.
They had already been fighting for more than two hours and they were now getting tired, the two pets in fact had now had their tongues sticking out while panting.
Nile saw this and instantly moved towards them while killing the zombie pets blocking his way.
Nile sheathed his two swords on his back in one swift motion as he somersaulted in the air.
He landed in front of Maximo with a pose.
Maximo, who had just killed a zombie pet by stepping on its head, looks at Nile strangely. The next moment, Maximo's eyes widened as he saw Nile materializing things out of thin air again.
It was a bucket. A bucket that is full of water. And mind you, it's not a simple water, but a water that came from the System Store. It has the function of restoring energy after consumption.
Maximo knew Nile's intentions. He immediately dips his muzzle towards the opening of the bucket and drinks the water like a sponge.
Nile was beside him, protecting him from the zombie pets that would jump to bite from time to time.
By how big the bucket full of water is, Maximo couldn't finish its content. Maximo looks at Nile asking for permission.
Nile nodded his head, permitting what Maximo wanted to do.
Maximo smiled widely, as he bit the bucket that had still some excess water in it. He raised it above him and the water inside had spilled and got splashed to his face.
Maximo shook his wet head. He then looks at Nile and makes strange footwork by jumping side by side like a boxer ready to box. Maximo was saying that he was awake now and Nile no longer needed to worry.
Nile shook his head and smiled. Before leaving, Nile waves his hand again and a huge lollipop appears in his hand. The Jumbo lollipop has a coconut flavor so he was pretty sure that Maximo would like it. The Jumbo lollipop is a bigger version of the rejuvenating lollipop that Nile had consumed before.
Just like the small Rejuvenating lollipop, its function also lies in getting healed over time.
Nile peeled its wrapping and gave it to Maximo. Maximo happily receives it in his mouth, sucking it bit by bit.
Nile then left and moved towards Croco's location. Croco was also tired but not as much as Maximo earlier. That's why Nile chose to give Maximo the water and lollipop first.
Croco bit a zombie cow's head and shredded it to pieces. He then saw Nile coming over and Croco couldn't help but show off by slicing a zombie's head in half with one slash.
Nile smiled and instantly retrieved a bucket of water for Croco as well. After Croco drank his fill, he also poured the remaining water into his body but with Nile's permission of course.
Nile then also gives him a Jumbo Lollipop and its flavor was grounded innards, Croco's favorite.
Nile also retrieved one lollipop for himself. It was the same as before with a tamarind flavor. The mask automatically made a hole for the lollipop to enter.
Nile then moves towards another location and continues his killing spree, but now, with a lollipop in his mouth.
