How Zombies Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 218

I arrived at the werewolf pack with Vincent.

The village where the Red Moon has settled is burning.

I can feel high tension from the werewolves.

Vincent also seems very tense.

"Vincent, thank you for everything so far."

I said with all my sincerity.

"Arian, I too won’t forget that you fought for us."

"Let’s try to survive."

"Yes, let’s do that."

We shook hands lightly.

I slowly walked towards the village.

The werewolf pack moves together following my lead.

Is it because of the blazing flames? The moon in the sky looks red.

As I reached the entrance of the village, I could see a group of vampires on the opposite side, easily over 100 in number. In front of them stood an elderly gentleman neatly dressed in a suit.

’That must be the Red Moon. He has a different atmosphere from the ones I’ve dealt with so far.’

I strode up to him and stopped one step in front.

"Nice to meet you, I hear you’re called the Red Moon?"

"Ho ho, and you must be the test subject with the primordial blood?"

"That’s right, I have a separate name but I don’t particularly want to tell you."

"Your name isn’t important, I’m only curious about the blood inside your body."

I snorted at his words.

"You believe such rumors? Are you not very smart despite your appearance?"

"Kuk kuk, you’re skilled at provocation. What I’m curious about is just the desire to extract your blood and experiment with it. I have no intention of eating you. Maybe it’s because I’m old, but eating defective products gives me indigestion easily."

"Ah~ Are you some kind of mad scientist? I heard you were a combat type, are you actually a brain type?"

"I’m a bit of an all-rounder."

As soon as I heard those words, I quickly thrust my short sword.

Screech!

My short sword is bound by something like a thin string and can’t move anymore.

"Damn it!"

I drew a dagger with my left hand and swung a quick slash.

Slash!

As the string breaks, my short sword becomes free.

Then the Red Moon wraps both his hands.

I could see ten rings on his fingers, and thin strings reflecting in the torchlight were shimmering from them.

Screech!

Slash!

The Red Moon swings his wrapped hands quickly. Then his weapon moves in waves.

Swish swish!

Clang clang clang!

I swung my short sword and dagger continuously, cutting down the strings and stepping back a few steps.

"You’re strong?"

"So are you."

With these compliments to each other, the werewolves standing behind me rush in.

Awoo!!

Then the vampires behind the Red Moon also rush at the werewolves.

-Kill them!

Awoo!

A desperate battle breaks out as they shout at each other.

Bang!

Boom boom boom!

Things around are breaking, tearing, and blood is splattering everywhere.

One request I made to Vincent before starting the attack.

That was to spill as much of the enemies’ blood as possible.

The werewolves are fulfilling my request very well. The blood scattered around soon becomes my power.

The Red Moon and I glare at each other for a long time.

"This is the second time my weapon has been cut so easily."

"Ah, that’s a shame, it should have been the first time."

I was the one who moved first.

Swish!

The Red Moon takes a defensive stance.

I put away the short sword in my right hand and grip the dagger in my left hand in reverse, then condense blood in my right hand to create a blood blade on the edge of my hand.

The conditions are not yet sufficient to use the power of blood strongly.

The blood I’ve absorbed alone is not enough yet.

Clang clang clang!!

The Red Moon blocks the quick slashes of my dagger with crazy hand movements.

The strings he controls are gradually taking on a red glow, lightly deflecting my dagger.

That must be the Red Moon’s ability.

Clang! Clang! Swish swish swish!

We deflect each other’s attacks at a speed almost invisible to the eye.

This won’t end like this.

I glance around quickly.

The werewolves are indeed continuing a difficult fight as they’re outnumbered.

It seems there aren’t just low-level vampires, as I can see Vincent fighting desperately, bound by one of them far away.

’At this rate, the werewolves will be annihilated!’

I focus more power on the blood blade formed on the edge of my hand.

The blood blade has superior cutting power compared to ordinary short swords or daggers.

Clang clang clang!

One step, two steps, three steps, I approach the Red Moon while swinging my hands like crazy.

Then the Red Moon’s weapon emits an even stronger red light. It seems his speed and power have been enhanced.

As further advance becomes difficult, I slightly changed my method.

Bang!!

I increased the size of the red blade and slammed it down on the ground with all my might. Thanks to the fast speed and power, the ground breaks and a big cloud of dust and wind blows.

In the meantime when visibility is blocked even for a moment, I leap into the group of low-level vampires and swing my blade in all directions, cutting their waists in half.

Slash!

Then the blood they spew soaks the ground thoroughly.

Now this power...

Slash!

The Red Moon’s weapon flew towards my back.

Rather, I leap forward even more to avoid the Red Moon’s weapon.

Rip!

I heard the sound of vampires behind me being cut to pieces.

And even werewolves.

’Is he attacking regardless of friend or foe!’

But thanks to that, I gained a moment of time.

I turn the blood around me into droplets and float them in the air.

"Hey old man, shall we start round 2?"

Bang!

I see the Red Moon flying towards me as he kicks off the ground strongly.

"Good! Very good!! More! Make me go even wilder!"

The Red Moon’s expression becomes tinged with madness.

That old man is excited.

I change the floating blood droplets into arrow shapes.

Then I point at the Red Moon.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!

The blood arrows rush towards the Red Moon.

Clang!

Clang clang clang clang!

The Red Moon blocks the arrows by swinging his weapon from mid-air.

But it seems he couldn’t block them all, as wounds appear here and there.

I turn the remaining blood arrows in all directions.

And I start shooting them at the low-level vampires.

-Argh!

-Wh-what is this!

I hear the enemies’ screams.

More, spill more blood on the battlefield.

While doing so, I continuously receive and deflect all of the Red Moon’s attacks.

I was gradually getting used to his attacks now.

He did have quite strong power, but it wasn’t enough to match me.

Of course, it’s quite an interesting fight, but as I thought from before, the current vampires don’t know much about the abilities that the primordial blood possesses.

Once again, I swing a big attack to deflect all of the Red Moon’s weapons at once and shout.

"Vincent!! Everyone get away!"

Hearing my shout, the werewolves frantically leave the battlefield.

I immediately start gathering the scattered blood in the air.

The blood that gathered in an instant formed a huge sphere. It was like a small blood moon.

I looked at the bewildered Red Moon.

"I’m going to end this now, it’s not fun anymore."

"Oh! Ohh!! Is this the power of the primordial blood!! Amazing!! Glorious!! More! Show me more of that power!"

The Red Moon emits even stronger madness.

"Well then, goodbye."

As I lower my hand, red rain starts falling from the sky.

It becomes a fierce downpour that can pierce even steel.

Swoosh!

-Kyaaaa!

-What is this!!

Vampires die all over the place with holes pierced through their entire bodies by the red rain.

The Red Moon is frantically waving his hands, but his weapons also become tattered and eventually disappear without a single string left. In the end, his entire body also became ragged.

Swoosh

In an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

The Red Moon was kneeling with holes pierced through his entire body.

I approach him like that.

"Huhu... huhuhuh this is the primordial blood..."

"Are you satisfied?"

When I ask, he barely raises his head to look at me.

"Not... enough..."

"I don’t intend to show you anything more, just die now."

At the moment I was about to cut off his head, a sun appeared in the sky.

For a moment I was dazed and looked up at the sky, there was a golden sun rising as if burning.

And a chunk of that sun plunges down towards the Red Moon.

"Arghhhh!!"

The Red Moon’s entire body is burned by the golden sun chunk.

His entire body turns to ash and disappears.

Although the Red Moon turned to ash, the golden flames don’t go out and continue to burn.

"What on earth..."

Before I could finish speaking, priests appear here and there in the village.

Damn it! I had forgotten for a moment. That the church might appear.

The timing was exquisite. I had used up almost all the remaining blood too.

"Arian!"

I hear Vincent’s voice from far away.

They weren’t surrounded because they had fled far away at my shout.

After confirming they were safe, I looked up at the sky again.

"The golden sun..."

That sun was slowly, very slowly descending to the ground.

Looking at the descending sun, I could see a man wearing golden priestly robes staring intently at me in the center of the light.

As he descended to the ground, the golden light disappeared.

He was a man with strong features.

His eyes were fierce and his eyebrows were thick. He didn’t look like a priest.

Such a man came right up to my face and looked down at me, thrusting his face close.

I looked back at that face without avoiding it.

"..."

This man... is crazy. Completely crazy. Just looking at his golden eyes, he seemed like a top-tier madman even among crazy fanatics.

Such a man started speaking to me without changing his expression at all.

"Lord... Oh Lord! I have finally found it! Everything is according to Your will, Lord! I have finally met this blasphemous monster! Everything is according to Your will!"

"What... are you saying, you madman?"

"Hehehe! Hahahaha!! Lord, did you see this mouth full of filth!"

"Your breath stinks, so could you move your face away now?"

"Hahaha!! Hahahahaha!!"

Wow...

He really is a madman.

Someone approaches from behind the madman.

"Father Michael. Shall we begin?"

"Haha!!! Hahahaha!!!"

Michael? That name doesn’t suit him at all.

Still, I couldn’t move easily.

The golden flames he used to attack the Red Moon.

My reason seems to whisper that I shouldn’t touch that carelessly.

Clap!

The madman suddenly clapped his hands.

That sound is disgustingly loud.

"Now! Brothers! It’s time to show God’s judgment! We’re going to burn these sinful, blasphemous, and impure monsters!"

""Amen!!""

"I will deal with this monster! Brothers! Please take care of all the monsters approaching!"

""Amen!!""

Damn it, my whole body is telling me to run away.

My heart is pounding.

"Now monster! It’s time to go to hell!"

"Go... away!"

Thud!

I threw a punch at his face.

But he doesn’t move his head.

He looks down at me again in that same state.

"Huhuhuhuh!!! It’s good! Yes! Very good! The way you’re squirming! It’s excellent!"

"Haa... you damn..."

When I tried to pull away, he was already firmly gripping my wrist.

"Where are you trying to go? The fun time in hell starts now!"

"I’ll pass!"

Thud!

I tried kicking his thigh, but he doesn’t budge at all.

Rather, his golden eyes seem to shine even more.

Ah... This is a bit dangerous, isn’t it?
