Chapter 35: Bitter Victory

“It’s going to be okay, Mom. I swear. Saya whispered loudly in a hoarse voice, holding Yuriko’s hand.

The sight of a broken Sai fanned a fire inside me.

The sight of fools giving up in front of a small crowd of zombies intensified the flames inside me…

Rage and anger flooded my head, but failed to cloud my mind. Rage at his own powerlessness and weakness. Anger at his own stupidity.

But there is no time for self-flagellation, you need to act.

Taking a deep breath, I burst into a tirade – If you don’t stop being hysterical now, I will personally chop off your stupid heads! Quickly took up arms! Quick bitches! Otherwise, I’ll show you that zombies are flowers compared to me! A deafening roar, soaked with anger and rage, flew out of my mouth.

A strange feeling came out of me like a wave and dispersed in different directions…

A good skill, that’s just… Ah, well, I’ll find out later.

Hearing my roar, even the zombies stopped, not like humans.

All the “brave men” had a stiff body in an instant. Their faces were white, their eyes wide open and staring at me in horror.

Some were shackled by fear so that they could not inhale a new portion of oxygen, as a result of which they fell into a life-saving faint.

Seeing that the panic had subsided, and attention was paid to my humble person, I continued what I had started.

– Almost all the creatures have already been killed! We’re almost out of this mess! Many of us are lost in this struggle for life, including Soichiro Takagi! And now, are you going to drop your hands in panic and fear, die!? Is this a joke!? To give up so much and just die because of stupidity and cowardice!? In that case, I’d rather kill you bastards myself, to spite the zombies! Quickly take up arms or I’ll blow your fucking heads off! I said loudly and clearly in a chilling tone, generously seasoning it all with bloodlust.

People quickly began to grab weapons, because it turns out there is a monster scarier than some walking dead.

I probably looked pretty intimidating at that moment.

The scarlet eyes seemed to have become even brighter and glowed maliciously in the twilight.

The shadows seemed to come alive, getting bigger and thicker around me.

The air was getting heavier and heavier.

The atmosphere was very sharp and tense. It seemed like an awkward move, you could just cut yourself.

My very presence put unbearable pressure on people’s hearts and minds. It feels like you are in incredible danger and there is no salvation and there cannot be. Very well, having learned this skill now, I can use the killing thirst arbitrarily.

Naturally, the crowd sobered up quickly.

– ORAA! I’d rather die in battle with honor than so shamefully! –

– Come here, you beast! Compared to him, you’re not scary at all! Come here with #ka! –

– Hold me seven, right now I’m them…–

– On the side! Come in from the side! –

People quickly became inspired and began to violently destroy zombies. Even those who were afraid of it before went to help. Shouts and cheers could be heard everywhere.

Brutal defense harshly stopped the pressure of zombies. Slowly, the living began to take over the dead.

Well, now Yuriko.

“Jarvis, can I use prana to kill the virus inside Yuriko?” I asked him anxiously.

– It is possible, but only when you become stronger and learn the necessary skills. –

– “And now in any way?!” –

– Unfortunately, no… However, there is another option. – he said in his artificial voice.

– “Well, tell me! Don’t pull.” –

– You can strengthen the body with prana, thereby raising the immune system…–

“And Yuriko’s body will not only defeat the virus itself, but will also become immune to it.” –

– You understood correctly, sir. Due to the fact that your endurance is so high, you are not afraid of the virus either. Although even without this, the “Player’s Body” and “Gamer’s Mind” would protect you. –

Without wasting time, I approach the victim and while Saya and Shizuka were engaged in her, I imperceptibly strengthened Yuriko’s body with my prana and used her own energy on her.

Since my control is perfect, it is easier to capture another person’s prana with your own, especially if it is at rest.

That’s it. She’s not in danger now. Her healing will take place pretty quickly.

After a while, the zombies were killed. Not without my help, of course. Thirty people were lost in the skirmish… Thirty combat-ready people. This is a bitter victory. Many mourned their loved ones. And not that I care about them, but still… unpleasant.

It was also difficult to find nodati. It turned out that he had stuck into a concrete wall nearby.

Then we all occupied a large building with a high fence. Having secured everything inside and found a few survivors, they began to settle in.

People were simply falling off their feet from fatigue, both mental and physical.

A duty schedule was set up. Shift guards provided the necessary protection.

Basically, people were resting and waiting for Yuriko, their new head, to wake up.

She was appointed as such recently, when after a while everyone realized that she was not infected.

Saya did not leave her side a single step… she ate next to her and went to bed with her too.

And in general, the team looked very beaten, of course, spiritually.

It affected my beloved the least. She was even excited from the recent battle. I had to calm her down in the nearest toilet. This battle went on for half an hour, after which Saeko fell asleep with a satisfied grin. Even though I love her, it’s a little scary… I hope she doesn’t become the same as one blue-haired sadist throwing ice.

When night fell, standing on the balcony, I remembered that I wanted to ask Jarvis something…

“Jarvis, why is the killing intent skill obtained just now? I was very angry with Saeko once, but I didn’t get this skill… Why?” –

“It’s pretty simple, sir. Yes, you were much, much angrier then… Except you didn’t want to kill Ms. Saeko, which means the skill wasn’t opened. Today you were angry and at the same time wanted to destroy these people. Therefore…–

– “I see. Thanks Jarvis.” –

– You’re welcome, sir. –

Having learned what he wanted, he went to Saeko and sat down next to her. Then he plunged into meditation. Even I’m a little tired.
