The Human Giant

Chapter 24 24: The Talents Of The Undead



Yoze was also considering leaving and returning with the others when he suddenly heard the sound of faint movement coming from behind him.

"Bang"

By the time Yoze turned around to check what was the noise, another black figure destroyed the door that locked the room from the rest of the building and immediately ran towards the broken window to attack Yoze and Leah.

Yoze didn't wait to get rid of this undead and let go of Leah and threw a Bear Punch to the undead head. The undead seemed to be unaware of the danger it was in and charged straight into Yoze's punch.

"Pop"

Once Yoze Punch connected with the undead its head popped and its skull and brain matter splattered back into the room. During the short time of this interaction, Yoze heard the sounds of rapidly approaching footsteps coming from the building.

"Let's Go!" Leah screamed entirely scared out of his mind.

"Boom!"

The wall of another building exploded as a mass of black fog rushed out. Yoze saw that the wall had been smashed apart by a single undead whose body was now almost entirely crushed by slamming its body against the wall.

More than ten undeads followed behind that crushed undead and a smaller undead ran to Yoze with surprising speed. It ran as fast as Yoze could run and he had a hard time reacting to the undead before it arrived right next to him.

Before the undead could launch its attack, Yoze's legs moved on their own and moved to the right just barely getting out of the undead's range. Unfortunately for the undead, while it had incredible speed it didn't seem to have the strength to stop itself and crashed directly into the opposite wall.

The undead's miraculous speed had allowed it to build up a large force that left a large hole in the wall while also turning itself into a paste as well.

"These zombies seem to have supernatural speed but they are so fragile that using their speed just kills them." Even though Yoze wanted to observe these undead more, he had to get Leah out first as he was dragging him down at the moment.

Yoze grabbed Leah once more and activated the full power of Mindless Blood Legs while still avoiding the fast attacks of the gathering zombies. Tens of undead figures shrouded in the fog of death continuously destroyed walls of buildings at their own expense and anything else that stood in their way to their prey.

Yoze's Legs became red as his leg muscles doubled in size. With a single stomp, Yoze leaped tens of feet into the air flying above the heads of the hoard of zombies escaping their encirclement.

Yoze ran towards the town's entrance as fast as he could but the undead was just as fast and quickly catching up to Yoze. Making a quick decision, Yoze turned around and leaped once more landing directly on the head of one of the undead.

Yoze stomped on the Zombie's head smashing it before using its body as a stepping stone to leap in the head of another.

"Pop pop pop pop pop..."

The sounds of popping heads and shuffling footsteps were the only sounds that filled Emerald Town. Yoze quickly reduced the number of undead to single digits before swiftly taking care of the last few.

Yoze wanted to sigh in relief but a sudden explosion erupted coming from one of the buildings. The dust from the explosion covered the undead but it couldn't stop the powerful Stench of death from reaching Yoze's and Leah's noses.

In a split second a shadowy black figure rushed out of the dust cloud heading straight for Yoze.

"Fast!"

If the zombies from before could be said to be as fast as Yoze's top speed when he was using the full might of Mindless Blood Legs then this shadowy figure was at least twice as fast.

In a blink of an eye, it reached Yoze and started slashing him, Yoze unconsciously avoided the strikes but one grazed his arm. Even with a slight gaze, Yoze saw that there was a large cut below the burned area of his arm.

Escaping the undead's range of attack, Yoze felt a wave of fatigue come from his arm that got hit. He couldn't help but feel surprised to see that he was getting tired so soon.

With the extra distance and having the undead stop in place for a few seconds allowed Yoze to get a good look at its appearance. Yoze felt surprised at what he saw because this black figure wasn't an ordinary zombie.

This zombie had Mutated and had another set of arms coming out from its rib cage. And more astonishing was that the undead seemed to be wearing a set of black armor that covered every inch of its body.

"Wait that isn't armor that's death fog!" Leah screamed, drawing Yoze's attention to the armor before he realized that despite the armor seemingly being solid whenever the undead moved, some black gas was left behind.

This zombie's fog of death had grown so thick that it seemed to converge and become black armor. It was so unbelievable that Yoze immediately tossed a talent mark at it.

[Mutated Zombie]

[Age: 3 days]

[Talents: Life Attraction (Grade 2)]

"Life Attraction?" Yoze looked puzzled before ignoring it and copied the talent anyways.

Yoze couldn't afford to be distracted by this Mutated Zombie as it was much stronger compared to the other zombies. Just the fact that it had managed to form armor out of death told of how dangerous it is.

The Mutated Zombie reorientated itself and sprinted towards Yoze at the same speed as before and just like previously it sent out a flurry of attacks that forced Yoze to place his entire attention to avoid.

Same as before Yoze was unable to avoid one of the fierce attacks and his chest was grazed, tearing a long cut across his clothes and skin. This time Yoze didn't feel the same wave of fatigue coming from the wounded area and was able to even counterattack by sending a Blood Bull uppercut straight to the Mutated Zombie's jaw.
