Chapter 85 The sacrifice... (2/3)
lucas wanted to shout, the pain had still not reached his receptors but he had realized that his leg was completely deformed with the hip that had made a crack sound.
before lucas could do anything, his head bashed right in the flesh with such force that he got knocked out that instant.
the undead looked at its stomach which was now healed and then at lucas who was about 15 meters away from it.
the force by which it had hit lucas was too immense making lucas lucky that he was alive after getting hit head-on by such a beast.
the undead started trying to get up which was like seeing a toddler struggle to take its first step.
while everyone just thought silently from the sidelines about what they could contribute in such a fight. the undead got up completely after taking its leisure time of five minutes.
its gaze had not left lucas who was unconscious on the fleshy floor with his head deep inside a crevice.
"this is just like the first time... just like the first time... like the first time... huff..." sarah had made a big ball of fire in her hand and started adding mana to it with desperation.
the undead didn't seem to get close to lucas anytime soon but it was taking baby steps and reaching its goal with every second.
shoom!
puchi!
the undead jerked its body a little and did not care that there was an arrow in its head. john just clicked his tongue and went to the side from where he could see the face of the undead.
john made yet another icicle within seconds and after taking some time, he shot another arrow with the hope to hit it accurately.
shoom!
puchi!
this time around, the undead stopped for a while but started marching again toward lucas's limp body. one of its eyes was already burst by john's icicle that didn't seem to get out anytime soon.
john was in a dilemma, no matter how many arrows he would shoot, the undead won't even bat an eye. clearly, it didn't feel any pain and was void of emotions other than the command of just infecting the living and making them one of its own.
bam!!
yet this time around, sarah had finally steeled her nerves and shot a fireball the size of a car tire. it even took some seconds to reach the damn bastard but sarah's accuracy was bearable.
stay tuned to empire
the undead's eyes gave up when the brain was damaged, its neck went down with a thud sound but it did not stop it to get its consciousness back in 15 seconds.
the process repeated for many minutes, the undead died and got back again all the time and it seemed to be the same as before.
but it could not be said about humans, the mana was only finite with everyone, and with each skill used, it only decreased not increased.
there came a time that sarah had sweat coming off her head as if she had run a 10k sprint in a short time. it was the same as the first time when she was the sole person with him.
her eyes started to close and soon, she had to grit her teeth and slap herself a few times in order to stay awake.
the undead had not changed his course even after being taken care of so many times as if it was obsessed with lucas.
all this time, ella was with john who was in turn with lucas. the undead was far away, about 9 meters which was about 3 minutes far if considered its normal speed.
ella was healing lucas all this time and had a pale expression, lucas's state was worse than she expected. with her healing proficiency getting better with each healing.
she was also getting sensitive about the pain levels and the type of wounds one could get. lucas had his whole hip bone twisted and she knew it could not be healed even with her skill if the leg was not straightened by them.
with john's help, she had already flipped lucas's whole leg but it was still stuck with his feet touching the shoulder.
the sight could make the weak-hearted runoff or get unconscious. ella with a forced will, had to push the leg back down which made some crackling sounds as if there were many small bones broken too.
all this time, when they were trying to stop the undead and heal lucas respectively, something different altogether was happening to jimmy.
jerry could not believe his eyes when he saw jimmy in such a state but his worry changed to fear with each passing moment.
everything was normal at first, jimmy was unconscious and jerry was trying to wake him up.
but then he heard a pop sound from jimmy's broken shoulder. it felt strange but he let it go. the next thing was even more unseemly.
jimmy's red bloated forehead started to get normal as if nothing happened in the first place and in front of jerry's naked eyes.
soon, jimmy was able to open his eyes and something very wrong was happening within them. jimmy's eyelids twitched various times untimely which made it looked like as if a doll was broken and it was twitching its each eye at different times and intervals.
"what the hell...?" jerry spoke with a face without color.
jimmy's lifeless-looking eyes moved to stare at jerry which made a chill run done his spine. but before he could do anything and come to a conclusion.
"ugh!!" jimmy grunted and his eyes became normal again.
