Into the Zombie World

Chapter 138 - Double Goliath: A Lethal Attack

Woosh!

As always, Croco dashed and arrived at the front of the zombie first. He waved his arm-blade and swiped it towards the zombie's waist. 

Even though it was convulsing, the zombie was alert. It's throbbing and shaking arm had now been twisted in a strange angle. 

Ting!

The twisted arm hit Croco's blade causing small sparks everywhere. 

The zombie's arm defense was really exceptional. 

'That's the first part that it's going to evolve?' Nike thought. 

As Croco's attack was blocked, he could do nothing other than to step aside. 

At the same time, Maximo finally arrived and made his attack as well. His head lowered and horns pointing towards the zombie, Maximo made a charge attack. 

Unfortunately, the zombie half-step Level Two° zombie's speed was not to be underestimated. At the last moment, it was able to dodge Maximo's attack while leaning to the side. 

Maximo's body brushed past the zombie by a hairsbreadth. However, the zombie didn't expect that it was not the end of Maximo's attack. 

Peng!

The zombie spun like a spinning top as the sledgehammer tail of Maximo struck its head.

Although the zombie isn't dead yet, it's head should now be cracked from that attack.

Maximo and Croco were still at the Final Stage of Level One°. The zombie on the other hand could be considered as a Peak Stage already. However, due to the System, their evolution path had now been altered. 

Take Maximo for example. If not for the sledgehammer that came from the System Store, would there be a sledgehammer that would form on his tail? 

If not for the System's earrings of loyalty, will Maximo still be able to evolve that fast? It had taken him weeks to evolve from a mortal carabao to an Early Stage one. But since he came along with Nile, he had already leveled up twice. 

If Maximo was interviewed, he would surely say, 'Yeah… Leveling has never been easier!'

Pursuing the path of being a tank, with an ultimate dream of being able to receive all attacks that would come to Nile. The carabao, Maximo, is destined to become a great carabao in the future.

Croco used the opportunity while the zombie was still spinning. 

'Head! Croc, head.' Nile said inside his head, which was then delivered to Croco with the earrings of loyalty's help.

Ever since yesterday, when they fought the hordes of zombie pets and animals. Croco's attack pattern had mostly consisted of a slash to the waist. Nile pretty much guessed already what the pet was thinking by doing those slashes. 

'You can't eat a zombie's innards, Croc, that's disgusting.' Nile said inside his head, trying to clear the crocodile's confusion with the help of the earrings of loyalty's function.

Even if you're obsessed with innards, you don't need zombie innards, right?

Hearing his master's instruction, the crocodile's blade that was supposed to be slashing towards the zombie's waist, suddenly changed direction and slashed upwards. 

The spinning and defenseless zombie could do nothing other than to let the cold blade run on its head.

A portion of the zombie's right head, including the rotting ear, was chopped off by Croco's blade. 

A wound on top of his head, caused by Croco's blade. A concave forehead due to the zombie headbutting Maximo. And now, another concave on the left while a missing portion on the right. 

The zombie's appearance had now become more hideous. 

After a chunk of ear was cut off its head, the zombie hopped in a hurry and retreated backward, away from Croco. 

On other hand, Maximo used his hoof as a brake to stop his momentum before turning around. 

And as if the two animals had an understanding, they dashed at the same time and at the same speed towards the zombie in the middle.

The zombie, as if expecting the attack, turned its body sideways, trying to avoid the two animals attack.

However, as it did so, Maximo and Croco suddenly stopped. Using their front legs or hoofs as the footing, the two twisted their body to the side, with the zombie at the center. 

Forming a circle using their body, the two suddenly made another move, catching the zombie off guard. 

Maximo with his sledgehammer tail and Croco with his arm-blade, the two attacked the zombie's head together, at the same time.

Caught off guard, the zombie could only wait for its impending doom. 

BOOM!

"Is that the super famous, 'Double Goliath,' attack from that anime show? Hmm, worth the fame!" Nile commented on the side while nodding his head. 

The Double Goliath attack goes like this. Two people, or in this case two animals, must position themselves opposite each other, with their enemy at the center.

During the attack, the two must move at the same time speed towards their target.  They must also have to arrive near the target at the same time without a second delay. The two would then use their attack to strike a particular part of the enemy's body, at the same time. Hence the name, Double Goliath. 

The target that the two animals, selected was the zombie's head. 

As the zombie was caught off guard, it could only wait for what would happen next, after a sledgehammer and a sharp blade hit its head. 

However, unfortunately for the zombie, it would no longer be able to see the results. As of right now, half of the zombie's head was already flying in the air, freely like a bird. 

Scratch! Scratch!

Due to the lethality of the two's attack, their respective 'weapon' was still clashing on each other, even though their enemy had already been decapitated. 

Teng! Teng! Teng!

After their 'weapon' stabilized, the two made a series of weapon bumps in the air. One on the top, one below, and one in the middle. Their two metallic parts bumped with each other causing small parks and Teng! Teng! sounds to echo in the surroundings.

"Good fight, you two." Nile said after patting his two pets' forehead, who closed in near him after finishing their 'weapon' bumps routine.
