As the zombie's strength decreased, its speed increased. Suddenly, it stopped from its convulsing and then begin its attack again.
The zombie swung its ax as hard as it could. It was trying to cut through Leon's abdomen.
But the attack was blocked by Albert with his dagger.
The ax head collided with Albert's dagger. With a loud clang, Albert's dagger broke into pieces. Fortunately, he still got one more dagger.
A second later the zombie's ax was on Leon's side. It happened so fast that neither Leon nor Albert realized it.
The ax was swinging down while Leon was holding his machete in front of him.
He couldn't afford to hold anything else while fighting this monster.
Finally, the ax struck Leon's machete.
*CLANG!*
And then the ax was stuck in Leon's machete.
"FUUUUCK HARGGGHH!" Leon yelled.
The zombie pressed its body against Leon and rammed its giant ax with great speed into Leon's machete.
"Leon!"
Rosie screamed. She was watching the situation from afar.
She ran to help Leon even though she knew that her Magic Power was running low.
When she felt she was close, Rosie swung her electrified hammer at the back of the zombie's head.
Unexpectedly, the zombie immediately turned its head back as it noticed Rosie's arrival. It removed one hand from the ax and swung it at Rosie.
*BUAGHHH!*
Rosie was sent flying before her hammer could hit the zombie's head.
She has thrown over the shelves containing food before finally hitting the wall and coming to a stop.
Rosie fell on the floor. She felt excruciating pain in her ribs.
'Shit! looks like I broke my rib.'
Rosie winced in pain. After her Magic Power ran out, now she had to endure the pain of broken ribs. Plus, it doesn't look like the big zombie will be going down anytime soon.
'What should we do?'
Leon and Albert were of course worried about Rosie. However, their circumstances are not much different, so they can't do anything.
Leon realized that his machete was broken. There was a part in the blade of the machete that was shattered by the giant zombie's axe.
"HGGRRAAAHH!"
The zombie roared loudly. Then it ran towards Leon and Albert while raising its giant axe.
Leon gritted his teeth seeing the giant zombie approaching. He had not the slightest intention of running because he knew what he was capable of.
Instead, Leon darted toward the zombie.
"HAAAAA!" he shouted.
The giant ax descended toward his head. Leon threw down his machete and raised both hands to catch the ax blade.
Leon knew that the giant zombie's strength had been greatly reduced.
And its speed also increased drastically. Because of that Leon was quite confident he could stop the swing of the giant axe.
"Urghh..." he groaned.
He managed to catch the axe, but the force behind the swing was still quite large even though it had been much reduced.
"Attack now!"
Albert dashed towards the zombie after Leon shouted.
The giant zombie tried to lift its ax from Leon's grip but to no avail.
Leon moved his hand swiftly towards the giant ax's hilt, preventing the zombie from pulling it again.
"I won't let you!" Says Leon.
Albert came and immediately thrust his dagger into the zombie's eye. At least what was left of his eyes.
*CRAAAT!*
Albert's dagger pierced the zombie's eye easily. Unlike before, it felt like the giant zombie's body was even more fragile than before.
"GRAAAHHH!!!"
The giant zombie seemed to be screaming in great pain. Of course, none of the five of them empathized with its pain.
Instead, they were happy to hear that they managed to inflict pain on the zombie.
Rosie, who was still kneeling in the corner of the store, stared at the zombie with a grin on her face.
Even though she felt pain, seeing the zombie also feel pain made her relieved.
Suddenly Lola came towards her. She seemed to be coming from the glass wall that had already been destroyed behind the store.
"You alright?" she asked.
"I'm fine. Urghh..."
Even though she said she was fine, Lola could see that something was wrong with her ribs.
"We'd better get away from here," Lola said.
Rosie didn't argue because she knew Leon and Albert would be able to handle it on their own.
Her presence here could have been a nuisance. So Rosie went outside with Lola's help.
Wiley on the other hand had turned to the other side of the store so he could throw his blob on point.
Wiley heard the zombie's screams of agony and grinned happily.
'A little more!' Wiley said in his heart.
Wiley created another purple poison blob in his hand. Then threw it toward the giant zombie.
*PLOP!*
The purple blob hit its back. Decay and poison spread quickly and seeped into its back.
Because of the purple blob that Wiley threw, the giant zombie became even weaker.
He fell to that knee and the grip on the ax loosened.
Knowing this, Leon pulled the ax from the zombie's hand.
Leon felt that he could still hold the ax even though it was quite heavy.
So Leon immediately grabbed the handle of the ax and was ready to swing it at the zombie.
"GO!"
Albert, who previously attacked the zombie fiercely, immediately made his body transparent when he heard Leon's scream.
"HYAAAAARGHHH!"
Leon swung the giant ax at the giant zombie's head with all his might.
