Chapter 7: What are these
‚So this is a game. HAHAHAHAHAHA. What a psychopath must have thought let's play with humanity??'
Hans felt depressed, however when the feeling of depression and despair come up in him the last smile of his brother comes up to and gives him new motivation to go on.
And with that he went back inside eat a lot while looking out not to eat anything that lays heavy in the stomach.
15 minutes went by and he stood on a thick tree branch, right above the side walk.
In his view were 3 Ghouls. (Hans decided to change it as Zombies are more the kind of undead that is known as the world end and infectious kind, while these humans were put into a undead state in which they exist more as mobs to be farmed. Ghouls was the next best idea as they are just as braindead.)
These 3 ghouls were doing their idle actions. One seemed to be playing soccer on doing desk work and the last one.
Well let's just say he was doing trying to something inappropriate with the air.
He seems to be lacking a partner ;D
Hans decided to test their hearing first by throwing rocks against the houses different distances away.
‚Their hearing is a bit above average I would say. Can't take my self as example. I could never hear such faint sounds before. These stat boost are amazing!'
‚Their Vision is definitely not made for the night. Good for me. Now how far can they still see? I just can't think of a good method so I will have to slowly advance and strike at ready.'
And just as planed Hans silently went down the tree drawing his sword he advanced as slow as possible.
Long story short even though it was a bright night, thanks to the full moon, they only saw him at distance of 5m.
However Hans miscalculated. From all the things he could mess up he forgot that these ghouls scream if they see food.
And so begann the first slaughter of Hans the slaughterer.
————————
One vs many were the fights Hans excelled in. Back in his fighting school if he dueled someone as skilled as him he mostly lost, the exception was when his enemy allowed him to use some self-learned brawling techniques. They weren't normally allowed as they were quite underhanded. He also wasn't the biggest fan of them and after repeated use his enemy new them too.
No, One vs Many, even if the others were just as skilled as him. AS LONG as they didn't go in 1 after another he excelled in making the enemy do friendly-fire and sow chaos. For his length he was very flexible.
While this worked in the beginning when there were more against the end he was like a berserker. The more damage he took the more he would switch to fighting on instinct. Which came highly unpredictable.
He lost 1 vs 1 cause his sparring partner would outmaneuver him and beat him in a few combos.
Also getting all beaten up shouldn't be the target for a sport club even if it is a more intense fighting club.
So he rarely played his instinct card.
While this was all CQC, his sword techniques were trained but more amateurish trained. Like he could do a fast and strong cut from top to bottom cause he trained this one move stupidly often as well as one pierce and one swipe. He didn't have any flowing sword play. It was only these three static moves, from which he only used the slash and the swipe as only decapitating worked.
Piercing might work but it was him to risky to try and not work in this situation right now.

After finishing the 3 on the street fast while only needing to tank one hit to the shoulder. Hans rushed over to the nearest approaching group of ghouls.
While he liked big fights as explained before he also understood that it is impossible to sow chaos against mindless things. So he need to be never encircled.
And the groups fell. Most groups were about 3 big while these 3 wouldn't be bunched together but with 2 seconds distance from one another.
After killing 5 groups the screams became noticeably less and Hans had to take very few hit till now. It accumulated to 1 Hit shoulder, 2 Hits on his left arm (which was blocking actively and trying to negate damage) and 1 kick to his right shin.
A larger group appeared I consisted out of 7 ghouls.
Hans turned and ran. He had prepare one trap. It was a heavy weight fixed between the tree he was on before and the Street light next to it.
He needed to at least get 2 nocked out. If he gets more but they aren't out for good he had to either risk it and jump on the left standing to reduce their number fast and win trade.
If he didn't take to much damage then the trade was successful and he still had the chance to finish them all over a longer Periode of time.
Then the Moment came. He couldn't look behind as these were a bit faster then the others. When he hurt the crash he concluded that it were three that got hit and they got maybe even one critical strike.
Turning and jumping against the tree using the rebound force with the jump he hit one ghoul right into the head sending it flying.
3 Ghouls. That should be a successful trade. Two safe kills for one strong hit in the back. He should be able to cope with it through a frontal role as finisher.
Just as predicted it happened the first head. Using the left momentum of the swipe to turn and finish the Second.
However plans are there to be broken. The second ghoul had attack in a winkle which parried his finishing move.
It cost time. Time he didn't have. Not being able to finish Hans had to improvise. Fibrins up on the kill and going save he wanted to roll away. But one after another mistake hunted him. His plant way to roll out was through the second ^finished^ ghoul. Now as he wanted to adapt his way out would be to the side but there was the ghoul he had sent flying coming back at him.
PRESSURE
Hans brain was going into overdrive just to luckily for him shut down and let his body take over in the last moment.
As he was already in the side rolling motion he rolled further crashing again into the first ghoul.
But his body used the sword as crutch and rammed it into the abdomen of the ghoul after which Hans pushed himself away and somersaulted over the ghoul.
The maneuver saved him from the punches but not from the impact his body had to stomach from the somersault.
It could still be seen as a good trade as he got out of the encirclement.
After that Hans just ran with a speed never seen before.
After running for a minute Hans regained his mind. He looked
300 Meters behind him there were still those 3 ghouls. One of them even had still left the sword in his stomach.
After catching his breath and planing he had a few ideas how he could doge and get his sword back, followed up with maybe even directly executing one.
At least now that things was back to 1 vs 3 Hans got the control form back in his control and nothing went haywire.
After 3 minutes the last head touched the ground.
Surveying the area no creatures could be spotted. Leaning agains a streetlight. Hans opened his stat screen.

‚Shit why isn't there any increase. Neither did I gain any coins or crystals for killing them.
Fuck don't tell me I have to dig them out of them.
Thinking back they should probably be in the head if you take the crystal as the energy core for the undead.
Oh and I forget I had that skill. How do I activate? Do i just shout it? Shouldn't try it. That de-buff is to heavy of a penalty!'
‚Gonna have to go back and get my things from the tree. Also never thought I would kill all three.
Like I heard one of them getting hit critically and heard his head cracking the second must have gotten truly unlucky. Just how did the third die??'
—————————
Purely for Hans once he arrived back he found it out.
He never died. He ate. He ate all the corpses of the ghouls he had killed. That were a total of 14 body's.
And it still looked as before.
Just a little bit taller.
‚How could it grew so fast and how could it eat all of them alone and don't be rolling around like a ball.'
It was then that it turned around. It's eyes were glowing red and looking Hans straight into his eyes back.
‚Shit what are these???'
