When Henry looked down, he found that in his hands, there was a sword in his right hand, and an axe in his left hand. He couldn't help but wonder at the system's magical abilities.
Adam, on the other hand, had been looking at Henry for a period of time now. He wondered what kind of behavior Henry possessed now. He had been staring at the air In front of him consecutively. And each time, he would stay that way for a long period of time.
Even though he was curious about what was going on, Adam remained quiet, as he waited for Henry to come back to his normal senses. He knew that, with Henry's character, even if he asked what it was that he was looking at, Henry was definitely not going to give him an answer.
But, he was soon surprised when he saw that an axe and a sword suddenly appeared in Henry's hands. Adam's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw that.
"What the f*ck?!" He couldn't help himself but curse. After all, this was something that a human who had been living a monotonous life would certainly be surprised to see.
Even though outside the room that they were currently in, there were several wolves that were ready to tear apart any human they meet, he doubted that, that was strange enough.
In his mind, Adam thought that, perhaps, a pack of wolves had escaped from a game park. And since they were ferocious, it was obvious that they would kill humans in case they met them.
But, this was absolutely the first time that he was seeing a human doing magic live. Although he had seen this happening in movies, that was of course acting and not real.
Henry, of course, entirely ignored Adam. Instead, he focused on the two weapons that had appeared in his hands. He tested the weight and found that, the weight of the sword was just right. It wasn't too heavy and neither was it too light.
He couldn't help but wonder how it was that the weapon that he had selected, became the very best tool that he could utilize Incase of a fight outside. In fact, he felt comfortable holding the sword in his hand.
[You have managed to come into the contact with a weapon that can be used to survive during the apocalypse. As a result, You have gained the basic skills of utilizing a sword.]
At that moment, Henry felt a lot of information getting dumped into his mind. At the same time, he felt even more comfortable while holding the sword in his hand.
A little while later, Henry had completely digested the information. And immediately thereafter, another system prompt appeared in front of him.
[You have managed to come into contact with a weapon that can be used to survive during the apocalypse. As a result, You have gained the basic skills of utilizing an axe.]
Similarly, a huge amount of information popped in his mind. He began getting familiar with how to utilize an axe, what posture to stand in for the maximum power of the axe to build revealed, how to control an axe perfectly and many more.
His muscles also began getting familiar during the moment that they had to make when he was using an axe. And in just about 5 minutes, Henry had finally completely digested the information about the weapons.
Now, apart from being a master in terms of utilizing a pistol and a staff, Henry was now a master in terms of utilizing an axe, as well as a sword.
Henry let out a sigh as he turned his gaze to Adam. He found that the guy was staring at him as if he were staring at a ghost.
Henry didn't even try ordering to answer the doubts that Adam had. Instead, he handed Adam the axe.
Adam finally came back to his senses and grabbed the axe. Even though he was still confused about the appearance of the axe, he was still excited that he had gotten a weapon that he had always dreamed of using.
He swung it around a few times, and found that it was just as he had expected. Even though it was true that this was the first time that he was going to use an axe in fighting, the double-bladed axe was definitely that matched his barbarian-like character.
"We are going out. Make sure that you stay close to me. Don't start wandering around, or else you are risking being torn apart by the wolves." Henry stated.
Adam finally came out of his reverie, and nodded at Henry seriously. He knew that outside that door, it wasn't a matter of jokes again. Instead, it was a matter of life and death. He could lose his life at any moment out there. So, he had to be keen.
When he saw Adam nodding, Henry opened the door. And, he saw that just a few meters away from the door, there was actually a wolf that was just passing by.
When the door opened, it obviously made some noise. Even though Henry had tried to make sure that it didn't come out loud, it was just enough for the wolf that was not far away from the door to hear it.
The wolf didn't waste time and immediately charged at them. Just like the other wolves, this wolf had bloodshot eyes.
As it approached, its bloodthirsty mouth opened wide as it tried to bite Henry's neck.
Even though he saw that the wolf was charging towards them, Henry was surprisingly calm. After the skills that he had obtained from the system, he found that his mentality had begun getting stronger.
Adam wanted to retreat into the room immediately the moment he saw that there was a wolf outside. But when he saw that Henry was not moving, he then gritted his teeth as he tightened his grip on the handle of the axe.
Even though he knew that facing the wolf head on was dangerous, he had previously seen that Henry had taken care of the fox using a steel bar. Although he was not confident that he could do the same, he was ready to face the wolf as long as Henry decided to stay.
But when he saw that Henry was standing still, without making any movement, he thought that perhaps Henry had frozen in fear. So, he immediately braced himself to face the wolf. There was no way that he was going to allow Henry to be killed off like that.
But just before he made a move, he suddenly saw that Henry moved towards the wolf that was charging towards them. Adam's movements froze as he wanted to shout at Henry to come back.
However, he was forced to swallow the words due to the scene that he saw next. Henry, who was just about to be bitten by the wolf, suddenly, raised the sword in his hand and swung it.
The sword made an arc in the air as it headed towards the wolf's neck. The next moment, it easily slashed through the neck of the wolf, cutting off its head.
The wolf that was in the air didn't have a chance to dodge at all. Nonetheless, even if it was on the ground, it would not have dodged because of the condition that it was currently in, due to the apocalypse.
After slashing, Henry moved to the side, and easily evaded the wolf that was falling from the sky.
Thud!
The wolf landed heavily on the ground, as the head of the wolf rolled a distance away. As for the body, it just twitched for a moment before the last hints of life disappeared completely.
Henry looked at this word in his hand with amazement. He had never expected that the sword would be better than a bullet. It did not make any noise, it was swift to handle.
But still, Henry knew that the reason as to why the sword was this way, was due to the quality of the material that the sword was made from. Even though most of its power had been sealed away, that didn't mean that it lost the capabilities to deal with low-level monsters.
Anticipation filled Henry's eyes as he looked around if there was any other wolf that had appeared. But after surveying around for a whole 30 seconds, he didn't see anything.
Shaking his head in dejection, he turned around and used the sword to cut a deep wound on the head of the wolf. Subsequently, he dug out the mutation crystal. This brought him to a total of four unranked mutation crystals and one ranked mutation crystal as his wealth.
Adam, on the other hand, stood still in his position. He looked at Henry as if he was looking at a stranger. He wondered how possible it was that Henry was capable of utilizing almost all the weapons.
"Let's go. You are the one who is going to kill the next wolf that we encounter. The more the wolves that you kill, the better it is." Henry's was finally brought Adam out of his stupor. Even though he had many questions to ask, he knew that this was not the time.
So, he nodded seriously. He had already experienced something in his body the moment that he killed the first wolf with the pistol. So, he was excited to slaughter the wolves, to completely dispel the fear that was in his heart.
The two of them then began going around, looking for wolves. This time, instead of hiding from the wolves, Henry had decided to look for them. As long as they don't encounter many of the wolves at the same time, Henry was sure that the two of them could take care of them.
Adam had managed to kill off four wolves. The more the number of wolves he kills the more excited he became. It was also during this period that he found out that he was getting stronger, as he continued killing the wolves.
For that reason, it continued becoming easier for him to kill the wolves. Even though he had been injured twice, he didn't care because the wounds were quite shallow.
Slash! Thud!
With a swing of Henry's sword, a wolf fell on the ground. This was the fifth wolf that he had killed after they departed from the building that they were staying in.
