Chapter 16

"System, add the two stat points to agility and buy three stat points and also add them to agility." - I said and the system did it.

[System Points: 400 > 370]

[Stat Points: 5 > 0]

[Agility: 25 > 30]

"Ok, now... I need a plan." - -I thought out loud as I looked out the window following the movements of the zombies.

Following common knowledge, I should take care of the wizard first, who knows what kind of spell he has and how powerful they are. I just hope that after turning into a zombie he magically weakened it.

Then I must take care of the swordsman and finally the adventurer leader.

"So, game logic? Take care of the minions so I can take care of the boss without any obstacles. I see it as a plan..." - I nodded after thinking about it, unfortunately I don't know their capabilities so I couldn't create a good plan.

"Okay, here I go..." - I said as I started walking to the exit of the house I'm in.

As I carefully left I managed to see that the zombies were somewhat far from where I was, so I sneaked away and brought something closer to them.

I grabbed a somewhat large stone and threw it in the direction of an alley not far from where they are.

The stone hit the house making a noise causing the zombies to quickly look towards the place and head towards that place.

The leader zombie went to look at the alley while the magician and swordsman zombie stayed behind.

So I didn't waste the opportunity and ran towards the nearest zombie, which is the zombie swordsman, who was also turning his back on me.

Taking advantage of the fact that my steps make almost no noise, I managed to get very close to where the zombie was, but when I was close to cutting off the head of the zombie swordsman.

The zombie magician growled because just as I was getting closer he turned around and saw me, but I thought it was too late for the zombie swordsman to react, but then...

In an unexpected move from a zombie, the zombie swordsman turned very quickly and blocked my sword.

*Metal clash against metal*

'What the hell?!" - I thought, I quickly walked away while looking at the zombie swordsman noticing that his sword was shining.

*Scream/Growl sound*

Then I heard the sound of a loud scream that made me unconsciously turn to look at the place where it came from.

I saw that the leader zombie was the culprit of the scream and that he was giving off a reddish aura, but then out of the corner of my vision I could see the zombie swordsman approaching.

*Metal clash against metal*

Forcing myself to look away from the leader zombie, I blocked the attack of the zombie swordsman, then I took advantage and got as far away as I could from the three of them.

Then I saw how the zombies got into formation, the leader zombie in the middle, the zombie swordsman to one side and the mage zombie behind.

'Tsk, this is the worst possible situation.' - I thought, it was already strange that everything went so well for me, but now I have to face the three strongest zombies in the town.

The leader zombie is a tank that uses a large wooden shield and a claymore, it also seems that he has an ability that causes him to attract attention to him.

The zombie swordsman, it seems that despite turning into a zombie he is quite agile and can make his sword shine, possibly increasing its durability and sharpness.

And the zombie wizard, I only know that he is a lightning wizard, I don't know his spells or if he has any abilities.

'Anyway, if things get too difficult, I'll escape.' - I thought, fighting against such a disadvantage can be detrimental to me, but at least I want to try.

So if things get too difficult I'll escape, then my only concern would become the zombie swordsman who seems to be quite fast, but if he's alone I'm confident of defeating him before the others arrive.

*Zombie scream*

Then taking me out of my thoughts the leader zombie screamed again, only this time it didn't shine and then he ran towards me with heavy steps because of his large body and heavy armor.

I was grateful that I can think faster than normal thanks to the points in agility and thanks to the eyes of the beast I can see the movements of the leader zombie somewhat slow, not too much, but the difference is noticeable.

Then I saw the zombie leader raise his hand that carried the claymore while using the shield to protect his front.

"Tsk" - I clicked my tongue as I saw him coming towards me, if it weren't for the shield I think I could attack him, but I'm afraid that if I get too close, then he will move too fast and manage to land a blow on me.

'For now I'll ignore him and focus on his minions.' -I thought quickly, so then when he was close to me, he swung his sword downwards, so I took advantage of the moment and dodged him while he surrounded him and headed towards his two companions.

I could hear the zombie's sword crashing against the ground, but I ignored it as I ran with everything I had towards the wizard zombie, who was growling while waving his staff and it was glowing, clearly he was preparing a spell.

I couldn't allow that so I increased my speed while thanking that martial arts knowledge comes with its own footwork that allows me to move faster than normal.

But unfortunately nothing is going my way, the zombie swordsman then moved and attacked me in a way that I could only dodge it, since I couldn't block it having the leader zombie behind me, it can be dangerous.

Fortunately I can tell if it's coming towards me just by listening to its not so silent footsteps, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

But then after attacking the zombie swordsman didn't attack again and I could see why, the zombie mage had finished casting his spell and on top of his staff he had a ball of pure electricity.

Sensing danger coming from that ball of electricity, I put my sword in my inventory and jumped to the side as the zombie mage had shot the ball of electricity.

At that moment I was thankful 1) that I jumped to the side and 2) that the zombie had bad aim and the ball of electricity instead of falling to the ground in case it missed, continued straight ahead and I could hear the sound of the ball exploding.

When I fell to the ground and got back up, I could see that what the ball of electricity hit, the lead zombie that had been behind me had lost his shield and had several burn marks on his body.

"Heh" - I couldn't help but mock a little at how he got hurt under his partner's attack, unfortunately for them this is real life and friendly fire does exist.

"(SCREAM!!)" - Then the lead zombie screamed looking upset and then he was surrounded by a bright energy and then he shot towards me, surprising me momentarily by his speed.

'Shit, if he were to hit me I don't think I'd get away with any small wounds' - I thought and then just in time I jumped dodging the tackle, the lead zombie continued on and I could hear him crash into a house while I was rolling on the ground.

When I was getting up the zombie swordsman had arrived in front of me with the sword raised above his head, with a quick movement and holding back my nerves because of how close he was to me, I took out my sword.

Then while he lowered his sword I raised my sword at the same time, I did it in a way that the zombie's sword would hit the side of mine, allowing me to avoid the sword, move and get up to follow the path my sword was going to the zombie's head. All thanks to my perception enhanced by the eyes of the beast.

But then the zombie stepped back and moved his body so that the sword, instead of going through his head, simply made a cut in his neck, fatal for a human, but not for a zombie.

But I didn't waste the opportunity created by the zombie dodging my attack, so while I had my sword up and in a good position and then I kind of used the Hazy style technique.

The Thunder of Heaven and Earth, so that in a downward slash I cut the arm that was carrying the sword, when the sword fell to the ground I quickly stepped on it and put it in my inventory.

The zombie for its part moved away, but before I could continue attacking it I realized that the zombie magician had finished another spell.

This time he had like 5 smaller balls of electricity than the previous one spinning around him.

Then the 5 small balls of electricity shot out in my direction, but unlike the other one these were slower, slow enough for me to keep my sight on the 5, not enough to allow me to completely get out of the way.

'Really?' - I thought, I managed to dodge 4 by moving my body, but the fifth one I inevitably had to use my sword to cut it, it was a mistake.

Some of the electricity managed to travel through my sword and reached my hand, numbing it, but before my hand could let go of my sword and all the electricity managed to travel to my body, I put it away while my arm contracted from the electricity.

"Smart, very smart." - I muttered while holding my numb arm, I could see that the zombie swordsman approached the zombie magician.

Shortly after, I heard wood being stepped on and saw that the leader zombie had returned with splinters in his skin and armor.

Then seeing the 3 of them, I took out the sword that I took from the zombie since mine still had electricity.

"So... Second round?" - I asked as I looked at the zombies.

They growled as they prepared to continue the fight.

"Ha... I thought so." - I said and I also prepared myself, since this will be the decisive fight and I don't plan on losing.

——————————————————

Spells:

Large ball of electricity: not much to say, it explodes on contact and causes great damage.

Small balls of electricity: they cause damage, but are used more to paralyze the opponent.

At first I didn't know how to do this chapter, but in the end I think I got it right, although now I have the next one left to finish the first part of the dungeon.

At first I was going to do only 3 chapters of Haruka in the dungeon, but in the end if I continued with the fight it would be very long and it would be annoying to translate it. So I will do another chapter.

If you notice that Haruka seems like an expert in fighting, it's all thanks to his enhanced perception and mental speed that allows him to react quickly and almost completely effectively.

Of course, not counting the knowledge of martial arts and that zombies, despite being strong, are not exactly that fast.

So you can say that his lack of experience is making this battle harder and longer.

So I hope you liked the chapter.

By the way, I think I'm getting sick, I already have tomorrow's chapter almost complete, but if I get really sick I don't know if I'll be able to do the chapters for Thursday and Friday, if anything I'll try to upload a chapter for Sunday or Monday.
