Chapter 23: Episode 23: DUN-DUN
Episode 23: DUN-DUN
Kilr and his companions walked into the huge gym room and their screens lit up like a Christmas tree with dozens of scary lights.
---------------------
<You have entered a magic barrier>
<Defeat the target to escape>
---------------
<Difficulty of mission has jumped to C>
<You have entered the battlefield>
-------------
Kilr Rombot and his companions stared in shock at the scene before them.
"Holy S**************t!!" They all screamed in unison.
At the center of the gym room was a huge wooden throne where a huge zombie sat. At the base of it were a great number of zombies in battle with a number of other survivors like Kilr.
"What the hell is going on? I thought we were fighting a zombie not an entire army!" Duke cried.
"There is an invisible wall keeping us from going out!" Chaz wailed as he banged at the glowing blue wavelike wall swimming around the door. "What do we do now? Boss?"
Duke panicked and turned to Kilr.
Kilr gulped down at the message that popped up before his eyes.
-----------
<Gym Zombie has recognized the daeth cry of "White Bone Zombie" on you!>
-----------
Kilr looked up at the huge figure seated on the throne and gulped down. He could feel strong eyes piercing into his very soul. Even from the distance Kilr could tell.
"He's strong!" The words escaped his lips.
Tap!
Kilr took the first step towards the huge battle. It looked very much like the battle royal of a war stylized gameplay.
Tap!
"Why am I still going forward?" Kilr asked himself as he broke into a sprint. "I never knew I had such a strong mindset! I can envision myself winning!" A thick smell filled his lungs and he followed it's scent. "I can smell victory as clear as they!"
Slash!!
Kilr cut down the zombies on his way at an astounding speed!
"C'mon scrubs! I've got a zombie to kill!" He screamed back to his companions.
Duke froze on the spots and sighed. "Was he just smililing? That can be, right? Is this Kilr Rombot's true strength?"
Kilr Rombot was indeed smiling in ecstacy. His footwork and swordsmanship were like pieces of art drawn like a famous artist.
Slash! Cut! Stab! Squirt!
Notifications started popping up.

"Don't get we wrong, this is where I'm most afraid!" He told hmself. "But I just came to notice that this is when I'm most alive!"
Slash!
He cut through a zombie's neck with with his sword sending thick blue and purple blood squirting on his face and shirt.
"Its like I'm running on this line between life and death!" As he spoke he could see it. The think black string that connected with the necks of the zombies. "And when I follow this line I feel I can do anything!"
A number of zombies charged his way and he met them with all he had, he moved his sword following that thin black thread. Following that smell and that was when it happened.
-----------------
<You have unlocked "Blade Fury" Lv. 1>
------------------
Kilr came to a sudden stop and tried to breath for the first time in a while. Behind him the heads of the zombies all exploded in succession coating the air in slashes of colour.
----------

------------
Kilr smiled deeply.
"Can someone tell me why this world is more fun than life itself?"
"I feel like I could die at any moment but for some reason… that's okay!"
The other candidates all pulled back from their frontal charge as someone screamed out.
"Hey guys! Seems like some badass suddenly came over!"
"Really? That's great! Now maybe we can leave this hell hole!"
"We still have to kill the big guy!"
One of them almost got bitten by a zombie but was saved at the last moment by her companion.
"Of thanks Narci! You've always got my back!"
"Tut!" Narci spat on the dead zombies and said. "I don't know you lady but I can't have to be fighting a zombie either!"
Narci charged forward and leapt into an here of zombies.
"Hiiiiiiiyaaaaaaah!!"
-----------------
<You have used "Advanced Combat" Lv. 1>
-----------------
FWIP! FWIP!
------------------
<Total number of accumulated zombie kills: ×6>
-------------------
"Fall back!" Yelled one of the females from behind. "The mages are preparing a counter attack!"
Everyone ran back as multiple orbs rained down on the zombie horde. Explosions of fire, wind, lightning and all sorts of other elements shot out and dealt a lot of critical hits to the zombie. After that all the melee fighters charged forward to take out the weakened zombies.
"Hey Lucas, a little help?" Asked a jittery flashy looking girl with a short stature.
The boy Lucas was a bit on the tall side and had beautiful brown hair the multiple spotting waves. "Back up!" He raised his hand in the air and drew an hexegram, though not perfect but it did the job and shook out a spiral of shrapnel that took down quite a bit if the zombies.
"Way to go!" The jittery girl squeked as she jumped into the fight and tore down zombies like pieces of paper. "This is the best gym exercise ever!!"
"Impressive!" Kilr addressed from the sidelines as he observed the group. "I can tell that they are not from the came here differently but still they can coexist together. I might have to participate if I want to get to the big guy first not to mention he's had his eyes on me this whole time."
"Looks like my cheerleader got stronger! I didn't even think she would last this far but goody her!"
He turned back to Duke and Chaz.
"It's almost showtime!"
Duke flowed with an arrogant smile. "Why don't we attack now?"
Kilr observed the fight with a straight face and replied. "Better to wait it out here while they do all the work. Besides, we have to conserve stamina the most since we want to face the big guy!"
Duke nodded. "That's genius!"
Kilr smiled. "Of course it's genius! It's classic slacker 101, SIT IT OUT maneuver!!"
Chaz shook his head dismissively. "Why does he sound proud saying stuff like that?"
"DUN-DUN!!" Kilr hummed. "It's just like watching a re-run of walking dead only that they don't walk and they don't seem that much dead either."
Duke and Chaz both sighed at him.
Kilr was prepared for whatever outcome would result from his actions.
The battle to avenge his death was just about to begin!!!
