The horde

~Cristians POV

Seeing them, I can only sigh and shake my head 'These guys...they simply don't know how many we'll be going up against...ahh well more cannon fodder for me… ' I thought, 'well it looks like they can handle this wave. it might be cruel but I'll just watch for now and harvest them skills kuhuhu, well let's start with that guy wielding flames'

Observing them with my Sharingan I tried to remember as many skills as I could so that I can practice them later in the realm. 'Hmm, so that's how you do fire magic. By rubbing mana with each other creating a heated area and then feeding it mana to start and fuel the flames. But it is very inefficient as its literally burning through your mana, hmmm how about using mana to manipulate air and use that to fuel the flame. Well, let's try it later. For now, let's just memorize their skills.

And just like that, I spent 15 minutes memorizing most of the skills present in the group. But yea it turns out that when a person dies they seem to disappear and drop the equipment they got from the system, but not their skills, good to know, but even so, this would probably cause mass slaughter because of those power hungry psychos. Anyways, I don't know why the rest of the zombies are just standing there over the corner. I'm starting to suspect that this will be like in a game, where you need to finish up a wave for the next one to go, well will find out soon, they should be done soon.

As if on cue, we finally saw the hidden zombie horde appear in the hallway as soon as the group killed the last zombie in the previous wave. 'This must be the last wave' I thought as I saw an endless river of zombies.

'I wonder if there are still others who survived here? well, one thing is for sure, I will surely survive.' Haha, man I'm a bad person, standing against a zombie horde, still thinking so casually.

"Men stand your ground! The collectors should be close to finishing up with the supplies. So just hold out for a few minutes" The man wielding the makeshift spear shouted, from my observation his name should be Robert.

"S-sorry man! This is too much!" (random guy)

"Yeah! I'm out!" (Random guy)

In a blink of an eye, only me and at most 15 people were left in the front lines

"Fuck! Collectors get out of there. we can't hold on anymore. Guys get ready to retreat" Robert shouted at the radio then turn his focus to his group. (Robert)

'Shit my cannon fodders are leaving. Fuuu ok, fuck it ill go and give them a reson to stay. hopefully, they'll help me out' Feeling complicated. I looked back on the zombie horde and stretched my neck and without any hesitation, I ran into the zombie horde.

"Eat this daddy's big spear, you pieces of living meat and better start calling me necrophile you shits cuz this bro is about to fuck you over bitches" I shouted my impromptu but surprisingly motivating battle speech.

"retarded! That guy retarded!" (random guy)

"Kid get your ass back here!" (Robert)

"oi! don't throw your life away and come back here!"(random guy)

All sorts of shouts sounded from behind me but I ignored all of them and concentrated in front.

'Who needs a party when your as handsome as this bro, wahahaha'

Wielding my halberd, I unleashed wide slash laced with mana imitating a woman who was using it earlier. The result? I created a wave of blue that shot out from the blade of my halberd, smoothly slicing the heads of zombies. Killing all the zombies within 2 meters of me.

[skill mana wave obtain, nice desu]

[mana wave-lvl 1: Imbues a weapon with mana then sends out a powerful slash, injuring all nearby targets. range 2m, 5 seconds to gather mana]

"Woah what the heck! Is it really this easy learning a skill!?" I exclaim out loud

Using the newly learnt skill I continued to cleave my way into the zombie horde, while utilising the footwork Ems used earlier, (well as best as I could as I haven't gotten the skill for it yet) I gracefully weave in between zombies slicing and slashing as fast as I could, trying to reduce their numbers to avoid being surrounded. Unfortunately, their numbers were too much for me to fight off, with no path left to weave through I jumped above their heads in order to avoid being stampeded and continued killing them that way. I can hear dumbfounded and surprised shouts from behind but I didn't particularly pay any attention and with a grin visible on my face as I continued on killing my way through.

~2 minutes later

'I don't think I can keep this up, my lungs are trying to kill. How the hell can those MCs solo armies? this is really tiring' I thought to myself, as I started to dual-wielding my katana and halberd in hopes of killing them faster so that I could level up soon, brandishing the weapons on the zombies, killing left and right with every stroke. Which tired me up even faster, but thankfully I finally got the message I've been yearning for.
