Chapter 9: Dead Man Walking
The boulder came crashing down. Blaze turned his head away at the last second, narrowly missing the spot. But the zombie didn’t seem to give up and lifted the boulder again before Blaze could grab it.
I’m telling you to stop, damn it!
"Grr... roar!"
No matter how much he groaned and roared, unlike before, the zombie didn’t seem to register his words.
The necrolink isn’t working!?
"Roar!?"
Blaze’s confused roar didn’t seem to affect the zombie as it raised the boulder above its head, ready to slam it down.
Blaze couldn’t move, but he could use his good arm and immediately grabbed the zombie’s leg before pulling with all his strength. The move took the zombie by surprise and it tried to balance itself, but the boulder’s weight was too much for it to hold with the sudden shift.
Just like that, the zombie fell to the ground, and the boulder dropped on its head instead. Rotten blood splattered everywhere as the boulder crushed the zombie’s head.
Its body twitched for a moment, before going still.
The zombie was dead.
