Chapter 41 - 41 Undead Horde
Alice's POV
'That fucking asshole!!!' I shouted in my mind. Colin left me here to fight a fucking horde of Undead. I had fought an Undead once, and I managed to kill it by blowing up a house by shooting cutting the tube on a propane tank and setting the house on fire while the Undead was busy eating another one it had killed. The Undead didn't die immediately, and managed to climb out of the house, it's entire body covered in flames and black mist, forcing me to finish it off with a shovel I had found somewhere. I barely got out of that fight alive and now that Demon bastard wants me to fight an entire horde of them.
"Don't worry you'll be fine." Said a calm female voice from beside me. This woman was extremely beautiful with those angel wings on her back. I wonder if they are real.
"Come on." She said and flew towards the horde of Undeads with her sword in hand. I guess those wings are real. With an extremely frustrated sigh I ran after her. When I reached horde she had already cut down two Undeads by herself and now I knew she was strong as well.
"Try and decapitate them or stab them through the head. That's the quickest way to kill them." She shouted at me and thankfully I heard her because soon an Undead ran at me and swung it's claws at me. I steeled my nerves and swung the sword meeting it's claws and the sword dug into it's hand with ease almost severing it completely. I looked at the sword in amazement but that proved to be a fatal mistake.

The monster swung it's other claw at me, hitting me in the side and sending me rolling across the ground as an excruciating pain filled the right side of my body. I quickly got up on my feet and thankfully the [Regeneration] skill has already started to heal the wound. The Undead charged at me again and swung it's claws at me and this time I successfully dodged the attack before swinging the sword at the back of it's neck but it blocked with it's free hand. The sword cut through it's hand and partially through it's cervical vertebrae. It's head hung loosely on it's neck and I saw black mist flow out of it's wounds and started to regenerate it's flesh and bones, and I knew I needed to stop it before it fully regenerated. I swung my sword at it's neck once again but this time it spun around and grabbed my sword and the blade cut into it's hand deeply as black blood flowed from its hand down the blade but it held on firmly nonetheless.
I quickly gave up on pulling the sword out of it's hand and instead jumped into the air and grabbed it's head and pulled hard trying to tear it off it's neck.
[-10 LP]
The Undead scratched me with it's claws, using the hand it previously used to block, but I gritted my teeth, pushed my legs harder against it's shoulder and pulled on it's head even harder as my fingers dug into it's cranium. And soon my efforts bore fruit.

I felt a sense of achievement at killing an Undead on my own and then I turned remembering that there was currently a horde of them. What I saw was disheartening to say the least. The first thing I saw were Undeads being burnt by pale golden flames and dying very quickly. The next thing I saw was Synthia fighting a group of Undeads and killing them one at a time with incredible ease.
"I really want to evolve." I muttered and ran towards the group of Undead. By now there were less than 20 undeads left and all of them were distracted by Synthia who was flying around and cutting them down one by one while occasionally burning them with her pale golden flames. I ran towards one of the distracted Undeads, jumped into the air with a battle cry and decapitated the Undead with ease.

One of the Undeads seemed to have noticed my presence and ran towards me snarling. A lot less scared now, I ran towards the Undead and ducked under it's horizontal swing then I slashed behind it's knees causing it to fall to the ground and slide a few meters due to it's momentum. I jumped into the air with my sword aimed for the kill and even though it tried to block with it's hands, that didn't mean anything as the sword pierced through it's hand and it's head.

'Just one more.' And soon after that thought flashed through my mind I saw an Undead racing towards me from the corner of my eye. I quickly turned around and placed the blade in front of me blocking it's claw strike and I could feel the blade vibrate from the force which brought me to my knees. The monster lifted it's claw to strike me again but I rolled out of the way just in time. I got to my feet and ran at the Undead. I slashed the sword onto it's thigh and unlike one would expect when cutting an artery, a fountain of blood didn't spray out and instead the blood simply flowed onto the ground, creating a puddle. I then spun around, narrowly avoiding a claw strike before I slashed behind it's knees causing it to fall onto one knee. I then plunged the sword into it's spine and dragged it upwards and suddenly it's arms fell to it's side and it's eyes went blank for a second. Taking this opportunity, I decapitated it and it's head rolled onto the paved road.
