Chapter 23

"On your mark...get set...GO! \(^_^)/"

After the gun shot, at least one person in every guild began their attack.

I take my staff and begin my attack. "Bitter Death!"

"Flower shield!"

Somehow, a person was able to block my attack. "What on earth?"

"Seems like she is a fairy class." Dana explained to me from behind.

"What is that?"

"They are supporters. Sort of like monks and dancers."

"Oh."

Crap, don't tell me this round will be harder that last. Well, I guess last round did filter out the weaker guilds.

"Haha! Look at that face of yours! ꉂꉂ◟(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅ ૂ๑) You must be thinking that this round might kill you!

"What the..."

I look up and then suddenly see a beam heading towards me. I quickly move away and dodge the attack. "What the heck is wrong with you?" I exclaimed.

"(っ'ヮ'c)Huhu, did I scare ya? That's what I intended to do anyhow."

"Leave me alone, I'm trying to battle here and live." I informed the developer before beginning my next attack.

"With those skills of yours, I highly doubt you will survive. However, there is one thing you can use that may cause a victory."

"And what's that?" I asked after taking down one person.

"( *¯ ꒳¯*) Fufu, that's a secret. Figure it our for yourself."

"Why did I even think of asking."

What could be the thing? Wait. Didn't we recently receive that new skill?

I then look into my skill list to see what type of skills I held. "Victory." What a stupid name. However, the recharge time is kind of long. 30 seconds is a bit too long for a battle. We may have to wait on using this skill. Wouldn't want to waste it now.

"Leader! Why don't you use 'arousion?' It may help us win this battle." Yazoyo exclaimed.

"Um...Maybe not." I rejected the idea. It may not be best to use it. I wonder what the side affects may be. I might have a shorter lifespan if I use it or something.

"Haruta, please!" Sakura begged. It seemed as if she was having trouble keeping up. She was a cook after all.

I'm pretty curious. "Arousion!" I yelled out my attack.

The zombie army began coming out of the ground just as it did in the cave.

"Oh. You have made a bad, bad move. Checkmate. (ↀvↀ)"

"What?"

The zombies then began heading towards the other guilds. It was outnumbering the amount of people. Each one of zombies were attacking each guild member.

"Woah." Dana's mouth opened wide with amazement.

We're we actually doing it? However, why did the developer say I made a bad mistake?

"Luminous strike!" A person slashed the zombie in front of him.

With that slash, I felt a sudden pain in my chest.

That zombie suddenly fell to the floor and became inanimate.

"Look guys! Nothing to be afraid of. They are just dark magic. Use your light attacks or light magic attacks. It should be able to kill them."

Ah. Crap. This isn't good.

"Haruta! Return them to the ground now!" Dana yelled out.

However, even though I put my arms down, the zombies didn't return. They continued fighting. "Stop..." I mumbled. Did they not listen to me?

Everyone then began attacking the zombies with light attacks. Each slash, strike, stab, I felt pain. It hurt more and more as each zombie died.

I then began coughing out blood all over the ground. Then I fell to my feet.

"Haruta!" I heard Sakura cry out.

I started to feel myself being weighed down. I couldn't stop coughing out blood. My body then began feeling cold.

Was I really dying?
