Chapter 18 Pushing Through
Eric pushed with all his might accompanied by loud groans and screams.
"ERGGGHAAAAA!!!"
Eric\'s strength is indeed stronger than his three friends. Among the four Regressors, he is indeed the one with the highest strength and endurance.
Several zombies were pushed back with annoying groan flares.
Their sharp blades danced and whipped all over the place and scratched Eric\'s body.
After that Rodney, Reed, and Mona jumped out and slashed their swords at the zombies in front of them.
Sonya also shoots arrows at high speed at the zombies.
Meanwhile, Asqa keeps an eye on the group members to provide healing to anyone who needs it.
Clyde jumped higher than the others and immediately activated [Burning Hand].
[ Burning Hand (Lv. 3) is activated! ]
Clyde sent fire at the zombies and immediately scorched them.
After he landed, Clyde slashed his sword at incredible speed.
All the group members who saw him froze in awe at Clyde\'s strength.
In an instant, he had taken care of many zombies when they had not even moved from their place.
"Over here!" Clyde shouted without looking back.
When he didn\'t get a reply, only then did Clyde turn his head and see that they were still having a hard time.
\'Damnit!\'
In his heart, Clyde was starting to question whether joining them was the right decision.
But in the end, he also stayed back and helped them.
After Clyde came, the zombie hordes around them started to decrease for a while before spawning again.
"Over here!" Clyde repeated himself because he was sure they had not heard him.
Even though they had a hard time, with Clyde\'s help they started to push through this sea of zombies.
"Sonya!"
Sonya turned at Clyde\'s call. "Can you aim at it?"
Clyde pointed to an organic green lump situated in the middle of the road.
The lump looks like a cocoon with a predominant gray color.
Meanwhile, there are transparent holes where the zombies come out.
The lump is about one meter in size and beats in a regular rhythm like a heart.
"I will try it!" Sonya answered.
"Everyone protect Sonya!" Clyde shouted.
"Understood!"
They all shouted in unison.
Sonya started aiming. With her Private Attribute ability, she can aim very easily even amid the zombies\' siege.
The distance between where they were and the lump was about ten meters. With a sea of zombies horde between Sonya and her target.
*TSYUUUUT!*
Arrow shot from Sonya\'s bow with incredible speed.
*CRAAAPPP!*
The arrow stuck into the organic lump and dealt considerable damage to it.
Even though it\'s just an arrow that looks small, the arrow was created with Sonya\'s Magic power so the effect is much greater than ordinary arrows.
As if realizing that it had taken damage, the organic lump beat even faster. As if showing signs of pain.
"Do it again!" Clyde shouted again at Sonya in the middle of the fight. Turns out he had seen what was going on even though he was busy.
Sonya nodded and drew her bow again. However, when she shot, the arrow missed.
Sonya grit her teeth and cursed. But she pulled the bowstring again.
She couldn\'t give up just yet while the other group members were working hard.
This time Sonya channeled a lot of her Magic power into her arrows.
Then fire it.
This time she was sure that she would hit it.
Yet, her belief was betrayed by a zombie who suddenly jumped in front of her arrow.
*CRAAATTT!*
The arrow stuck in the zombie\'s head and immediately made him fall on the road.
"FUCK!" Sonya swore loudly.
She pulled back her bowstring to shoot again. But suddenly a sharp blade swung at her from behind the crowd of zombies.
*TAKK!*
The sharp blade that came out of nowhere severed Sonya\'s bowstring. Making her gape with widened eyes.
"Oh, this is fucking great!" Sonya cursed even louder.
"What happened?" Asqa asked amid her panic.
The question was immediately answered when she saw Sonya\'s bow.
She couldn\'t say anything and just looked at Sonya with an expression as if to say that this was all very bad.
"Why did you stop?!" Clyde shouted in an annoyed tone.
"They cut my bowstring!" Sonya shouted back in frustration.
Clyde turned his head and stared at Sonya\'s bow. He gritted his teeth when he saw that it was true.
Rodney, Reed, Eric, and Mona also heard Sonya\'s answer so they also felt anxious.
"Okay, it can\'t be helped. I\'ll do it," Clyde said. "You guys help me get closer!"
Finally, they returned to the way before. They broke through the horde of zombies with their limited strength.
Clyde was starting to get worried because he felt that his Magic Power couldn\'t last much longer.
The zombies that came turned out to be too many and kept spawning non-stop.
He had drained his Magic Power to use [Burning Hand] since the beginning. And that is a loss for him.
Now, he must fight alongside these people. At least when they managed to destroy the gray and green lumps, their burden would be reduced.
Clyde asked for Eric\'s shield because he thought he would be better at using it.
Eric was a little reluctant. However, in the end, he gave it up without wasting much time.
Eric now only fights with his short sword.
Clyde took the front position. With his strength, he can make the group break through the horde of zombies faster than Eric.
Seven meters...
Five meters...
Three meters...
"I can see it!" Clyde shouted. "I\'m going to jump!"
All group members nodded in understanding.
They fought harder and harder to support Clyde.
When he feel the distance is right, Clyde pushed his shield as hard as he could and then threw it.
After that, he held the shoulder of a zombie in front of him to jump.
Clyde then stomped on the heads and shoulders of several zombies. A moment later he jumped while activating [Burning Hand].
[ Burning Hand (Lv. 3) is activated! ]
*SWOSHHH!*
Clyde threw a fireball at the green-gray organic lump.
*BOOM!*
A huge explosion was created and burned the lump. Yet Clyde didn\'t stop there and kept attacking.
