Fighting Run

Mike had his sword on both hands and tried to be as quiet as possible as he ran towards the two Goblin Zombies. Luck for him they didn't hear him, or notice him, till it was too late!

As soon as he got a couple feet away from them he jumped into the air towards them and swung his sword. He had decapitated the first one.

The other Goblin Zombie ignored its friend and attacked Mike. It out stretched it's claws and began to try and and tackle Mike. He repositioned his feet to hold himself as he used his sword to block the two claws. After he deflect them he kicked the Goblin Zombie in the stomach away from him. He then stepped forward as he swung his sword upward slicing the goblin in half.

Mike wiped his brow and cleaned the blood off his sword. He looked around and saw no more zombies. He was surprised on how easily he killed these two. He thought the main reason was because he had surprised them and wasn't in a cramped room.

Seeing as there were no more zombies he walked into the house the two zombies he killed came out of. He could smell the stench of death as he entered. He looked around for the smell and noticed it coming from a staircase leading to the basement. He tried to look down, but noticed it was extremely dark.

He thought for a moment about his [Holy Light Lv1] skill. I fit was 'light' then couldn't he also make a light with it instead of just healing himself? He held his sword in his right hand and raised his left. He thought about a light emitting from his hand. After a few seconds he could feel the mana in his body active. He opened his eyes to see what was happen. As soon as he did an extremely bright light emitted from his hand and blinded him for a moment.

He laughed at himself for using too much mana. This time he watched as he channeled his mana to his hand. He made sure not to do too much and created a soft glow. He tried to flick the light out of his hand. After a few flicks to no avail he closed his eyes and focused. He tried to imagine the light flowing out of hit hand and behind his head. Even with his eye's closed he could see the glow from the light moving around him.

When he opened his eye's again the light was out of his hand and behind his head. He was impressed he was able to pick up magic this quickly! He thought after he reaches the castle he should try to learn to do more magic.

Now that he had a light source he held his sword in a two-handed grip and walked down the stairs. The smell became more and more intense with each step he took. He had to change his grip to one-handed to hold his nose with his other hand. As he reached the bottom of the stairs he mentally commanded his light to move into the room.

As the light moved in he could see another greenish pale creature eating a human. It was much larger then the goblins he killed before.

[Zombie Orc Lv 2]

A screen appeared above it's head. Even with the light in the middle of the room the Zombie Orc didn't notice. Mike was stunned with how oblivious these zombies are. He wondered if it was because of their low level or his.

He tip toed his way towards the unaware zombie. He slowly raised his sword to swing at the nap of the zombies neck. Just as he was about to swing the Zombie Orc turned around and grabbed his wrist. It yelled directly into his face.

He wanted to vomit from the putrid smell of it's breath. With it's other hand the Zombie Orc punched Mike in the stomach sending him crashing into the wall. Part of the broken wall dug into Mike's flesh. He coughed up blood and moved his sword pointed outward towards the charging zombie.

He used his sword to pierce through its chest and used his other arm to block. The Zombie Orc bit down on his forearm down to the bone. Mike clenched his teeth and held in his scream. The pain was immense. He closed his eyes and channeled mana into his hand. A bright light flashed and blinded the Zombie Orc. It let go of him talking a couple steps back while shielding it's eyes.

Mike used more of his mana to heal himself. He noticed his mind was starting to get foggier as he used more mana. He didn't have time to fight for long. With the Zombie Orc blinded for a moment he saw his chance. He quickly got himself up and charged the zombie. He aimed his sword towards it's neck.

Just as he was about to slice it's neck the zombie used it's hand to block having the palm of it's hand pierced and the tip of the blade barely in its neck. It opened it's eyes to reveal its red eyes filled with anger. It grabbed the sword with its pierced hand and picked Mike up off of the ground as it raised it's hand. Just as it was about to use it's other hand to punch Mike in the stomach. He raised himself by the waist and used both feet to kick the Zombie Orc in the face.

Using the force of pushing the zombie back and his upper strength he cut the zombies hand in half. The zombie hit the wall and Mike took the opportunity to kill it. From a crouching position he jumped forward stabbing his sword through the Zombie Orc's mouth into its brain! The zombie paused for a moment before it went limp.

[Level Up!]

As soon as he leveled up Mike felt the bruises of his body start to fade. The mental fog started to dissipate as he regained his mana again.

"Man. leveling up mid combat is a great way to get healed and my mana back."

He moved the orc's body to the corner of the room and examined the humans body it was eating. Even in the light he couldn't tell who the person was or what gender they were. He stood before it and gave it another pray to the Goddess of Reincarnation before leaving the room. He prayed that she would take this being sole and send it to a new universe to have a better life.

[Reincarnation Blessing Lv 1: 2/10] [Bonus 0]

Mike looked over his new skill. He thought it was a little morbid he would get stronger when saying a pray and blessing the dead, but it made since for his class. He figured this would be a great skill as he progresses in this universe.

He began to walk back up the stairs when he saw two more Zombie Orcs come into the room. He froze for a moment as the two looked at him. Mike remembered the original Zombie Orc yelled extremely loudly. Did it call for reinforcements? He wasn't sure, but knew he couldn't fight these two head on.

[Zombie Orc Lv 1]

He looked to his left and saw an opening in the wall with a ledge above him. He raised his hands together to create a larger blinding attacked. The two zombies were stunned and Mike did his best to get away. He jumped up to the ledge and climbed up.

Just as he managed to climb up the ledge one of the Zombie Orcs grabbed his ankle and pulled him back. He did his best to pull himself back up and kick at the zombie backs. He leaned his body upward and looked below him seeing one zombie pulling him and the other slowly climbing up with him.

"Looks like I don't have a choice! AHHHHH"

Mike used all his might as he dove towards his assailants. He used his feet to push the one pulling him down to the ground as he used the momentum so slice an arm off the other Zombie Orc.

THUD

Mike had crushed the chest of Zombie Orc and tried to fight the one armed zombie. Mike was in trouble. Even though he had immobilized one zombie by caving in it's chest. It was still a zombie. It could still move it's limbs and grabbed a hold of Mikes legs. The on armed zombie attacked! It had used its remaining hand to grab both of Mike's wrists as it tried to bite neck.

Just as the the zombie was about to bite his neck a small bolt of fire hit the zombie in the face. It's face was burnt and let Mike go free. He ignored the help and knew what he had to focus on. He reverse gripped his sword and plunged it into the head of the zombie below him.

[Zombie Orc Lv 1 Killed: 300 exp]

Once that zombie was killed the other was much easier to deal with. With only one limb Mike sliced off the other hand just as the zombie was recovering from it's shock. And with the same motion he turned his blade and sliced the zombies head off!

[Zombie Orc Lv 1 Killed: 300 exp]

After he killed the Zombie Orc Mike looked at the direction of the bolt of fire. In a near by ruined tower he saw a cloaked figure with staff. He waved to it and point to himself and then the figure.

"Finally! I was hoping to find someone else is here."

Deciding to take it easy after his last battle Mike took his time to reach the tower. He had scaled the building he fought in and would jump roof to roof. As he jumped he would see more zombies and larger groups of zombies deeper in the city. While he got closer to the tower he noticed that there weren't any zombies around the area.

He jumped on a building closest to the tower he heard a loud cracking sound. He looked down and say the roof he was on starting to break! He tried to take another step forward, but the roof broke under him. Just as he was about to lose his footing a hand reached out and pulled him to the other side of the roof. He fell to the ground. He looked up to the person that had saved him.

It was the cloaked figure!

The person pulled the hood back form their grey cloak revealing their face. The woman had purple skin, bright yellow eyes, short black hair and two small horns above her temples.

"You're a Demonkin?"

The woman seemed annoyed by this.

"Of course I am." Just from her tone Mike could tell she was annoyed. "This is the capital of the Demon Kingdom, Evermore. How did a human like you get here?"

Mike picked himself up and extended a hand towards the Demonkin.

"I am Michel Durpin. I am a General Crusader. I am here to help slay the zombies of this planet."

The Demonkin had a skeptical look on her face. She shook his hand back. "I am Nemia the Cunning. I am a Mage. I specialize in Fire magic and Darkness magic." She looked him up and down. "I've never heard of a General Crusader. What exactly are you?"
