Level up Zombie - Chapter 262: The Volunteer

It was the first for all of those watching. The Zombie Hunters as well as the well-dressed guests had seen a number of events, but during this whole time, they had never seen one volunteer to go first. At least not after knowing and seeing what their opponent could do.

Yet, here the university student of all things had decided to go forward after seeing their opponent.

“Maybe he has a crush on you Sherry.” One of the men in a suit chuckled.

“It does seem like he is looking up here when he declared to take part in this event. Perhaps that red zombie does wish to impress us.”

Since it was a first, the onlookers didn’t know what was going to happen, and in the end, the white haired hunter was the one that had to make a decision.

“Very well, if you wish to impress us, or make your death even quicker, then I will not stop you.” The hunter said.

With that done, Zain was allowed to move forward, and the others soon stepped away, for the fight between him and the demon to begin.

“Wait!” Zain called out. “For volunteering shouldn’t I at least get a reward of some sort?”

Everyone was puzzled by this request, but Sherry who was standing there in the silver dress could see that Zain’s eyes were still on her, which had caused her to make a decision of her own.

“I believe he is right, a reward is needed. After all, how could anyone expect to defeat such a creature without a weapon.” The woman stated. “You said you were a swordsman correct, then someone give him a sword, and I will increase my bet tenfold on the red haired zombie.”

The white haired hunter had a smirk bigger than he could have ever imagined, and quickly asked for a sword to be thrown from the crowd. One was and slid across the floor. With his foot Zain kicked it up and caught it mid air.

He held the sword in front of him, and it looked natural in his hand. The stance made it so he looked like a true swordsman.

“I thought the fact that he could use a sword was a lie.” One of those from the second floor commented.

“I don’t blame you, in this day and age, unless for competition, who would practise with such a thing. Either way, whether he can use a sword or not, it doesn’t change anything. There is only a small amount that manages to survive.”

“You have to admit that number has been increasing lately though, there are more and more people in the cells. If this continues on, we might have to try and do something about it.”

The others nodded in agreement, but there was no more talking between them because now, it was time for the battle to commence.

On the side, Wendy was watching the whole thing intently.

‘After leaving that army base… I heard the news, apparently this zombie was able to defeat a demon all on its own. It was quite tough for us to do, but if that was the case, I wonder how he was caught. I didn’t even know he was here. I guess I should look into things… if he survives this.’

The tentacles came out right toward Zain like the last fight, and rather than running and avoiding all the tentacles. Zain had stepped to the left, right and then forward, missing all four of the sharp ends. His movements were so smooth.

What he did, it looked so simple, but everyone knew that it had to be difficult. Lifting up the sword, Zain swung it down on the tentacle, when he did he soon felt it bounce off form the demon’s skin.

‘The demon’s skin is too hard, I wish I had my titan sword right now, but I don’t so I’m just going to have to do this the old fashioned way.’

The tentacles from the demon had lifted in the air, and swinging about they were all heading toward him. Unlike before, he ran to the side, and started to run in a curve toward the demon. It was fast, and the demon was unable to react with its tentacles quick enough.

‘I can’t use too much speed, otherwise they might think that I’m too much of a threat, but if I can get the attention of one of them.’

While running toward the demon, Zain took a glance at Sherry. She noticed, in the middle of an intense battle to do such a thing, it meant one thing, he wasn’t scared.

When getting close enough to the demon, it tried to swing its arm to claw at him. And using his own hand, he knocked it away hitting the demon’s forearm. It was with such strength that it flung back in the air. After that, leading in with his shoulder he tackled the demon right in the centre.

It lost its footing and fell right down to the ground. Quickly following up, Zain jumped in the air, and held the sword with both hands. He swung it downward right through the demon’s mouth. It periced through the soft flesh in its throat, and pushing on it further, Zain allowed it to get stuck right in.

Letting go, the sword was staying up in place, lifting up his leg, he then slammed it down on the bottom of the sword, pushing it down further. At that moment, the tentacles of the demon stopped moving, its whole body had stopped moving, and it was clear the demon was dead.

“He defeated the demon… and without getting a scratch on his body.” The white haired hunter said with his mouth left open.
