Fighting zombies cont'd

Hey guys... I am sorry for not posting last week and this week. I had some personal issues that needed to be fixed but i should be able to begin uploading next week properly. Thank you for your patience.

Licht went onward this time, there were five basic green rank zombies in his presence. Once again, he raised the twig, slashed with it, and continued. To him, this was like child's play.

At this point, it felt like the being at the end of the cave was deliberately throwing all he had at Licht and his party to exhaust them, but the only thing the person was achieving was only slowing them down and annoying Licht. Licht's smile was long gone as he did not want to play with 'these bugs' as he would say, He encountered Intermediate green ranked zombies but they barely posed a threat to him, and then finally, the late green ranked zombies appeared "Finally" Licht said.

There were over fifteen of them, but Licht did not seem to mind as he jumped in their midst swinging his twig at some of them, this time there was a deep cut but it did not slice entirely through and Licht used about forty percent of his actual strength, he was excited and continued to slash with his twig till all the zombies fell, no piece was recognizable, they looked like they had been flogged to the state of looking like mush. Licht came out with zombie blood splattered all over his chest, he shrugged it off and went deeper into the cave where he came across twenty-five peak, green-ranked zombies. The twig was already broken so he brought out a yellow ranked sword he looted from the bandit's lair. He coated it with his ether energy, the sword was shining in Golden colors.

He dashed at the zombies, they tried blocking and counter-attacking but that seemed futile as Licht was too fast, Licht was currently using fifty percent of his power and he was still wiping the floor with beings two small ranks higher than him. He sliced their limbs off one by one, then their heads. To Licht, it was like child's play, all it took was a bit more time than it did with the previous zombies.

Licht stood still after he was done and looked forward, he could feel ten zombies coming in his direction. He knew this was the final challenge till he met the 'boss'.

The ten zombies came into view, there were ten basic red-ranked zombies, Midas felt like he could not breathe while Daren was semi-conscious. Licht brought up his strength to sixty percent.

Before he could dash forward, they moved and appeared before him in an instant. They struck out together and this time it was Licht that was pushed back. They did not give him the time of day as they kept on attacking. The scene was like watching ten fists of the north stars, the attacks just kept rolling in while Licht kept his arms in front for a block but it did not seem like they would tire out anytime soon. Licht jumped backward and then sidestepped making them lose momentum.

He struck out with the sword that already had cracks on it which went through the eyes of one of them. He dashed behind and decapitated two at the same time.

With seven left, the pressure on Licht reduced drastically. His sword was broken so he chose to finish with his fists.

"You all enjoyed attacking so might as well try too," Licht said

They all started punching, fourteen fists coming at Licht at a fast pace. Licht retaliated by punching out too, his punches had mirages looking exactly like fourteen fists too. All the punches connected and what happened next was unexpected, well it was kind of expected. The fists of all the zombies were broken, and bones popped out of their hands. Licht swung a flame out of his hands and all the zombies in front of him were set ablaze but they kept trying to attack Licht. As they got closer, their bodies were slowly breaking down and then turned to ash.

Licht dusted his hands with a big smile on his face and continued onwards. Midas and Daren who had now awoken were dumbfounded but quickly followed after Licht. They finally came upon a hall, the hall was quite big for something in a cave, by the side there were piles of treasures, spellbooks, coins, and bones, lots of bones

There was a throne in the center of the hall, it was winged by two zombies of the intermediate red rank while on the throne sat a human, he was also black-skinned like the zombies, but he looked more intelligent with red-focused pupils and the red veins were pulsating around his neck, arms, and torso.

He had a look of contemplation on his face and then he waved forward. One of the zombies lunged at Licht while the other went at Midas and Daren. Midas saw the strike pushing closer and thought this was it.

The next sight was a back then a boom was heard. Licht had moved to block the strike for Midas and Daren. The zombie moved back after that hit, but it felt something that a zombie never felt, fear.

Midas looked at where Licht was before an saw the zombie that attacked Licht was frozen in place. He looked back at Licht and saw that scary expression on Lichts's face, he had that cold smirk. The smirk he usually had when it was time for an enjoyable battle.

Licht's expression was not on the zombie in front of him but on the man on the throne, Licht felt his cultivation rank was almost peak red rank. He knew for this fight, he would actually have to go all out and he felt joy and excitement at that thought.

The zombie that attacked Midas tried attacking again, this time it pretended to back away so Licht would attack so it could block then counterattack. The zombie moved backward and Licht followed after with a high knee kick, the zombie blocked, or at least it thought it did because as it tried to counterattack with its hands it realized both its arms were gone. They had been blasted away by Licht's kick, Licht was still in mid air so he grabbed the top of the zombie's head, and brought it crashing down. Its head was pulverized, he dashed toward the frozen zombie and then kicked, smashing the entire thing to bits.

He looked at the human on the throne and said "Hope you'd put up a better fight than they did"
