Titan Rising Online: World Breaker

Chapter 159 159: 4th Floor Welcoming Party IV



Cole spun into the guard of one of the zombies, but it stepped back and pushed it's arm outwards, releasing a concussive blast of force that flung straight into the waiting fist of a zombie that was about 7 and a half foot tall. However Cole had use of his domain as he dug his let into the ground, creating cracks on the court they were on while he used [Shadow Dance] to vanish and reappear to the left, his sword slashing through the Zombie's forearm before getting caught on bone. But that was of no worry to Cole as he too returned the favor by firing off a controlled [Gravity] blast that pushed the zombie back and yanked the sword out of it's arm, just in time for Cole to simply step to the side and another smaller more lithe looking zombie flew past him.

He was fast enough to dig his sword into its neck as it went past him, but the fight was far from over as he was surrounded. [Vertigo] was not having as much effect on them as he would have expected seeing as they were zombies, but he was still in the game. [Spectral Rover] this time however Cole was ready for the zombie that seemingly had the ability to travel through the veil, and true enough Cole noticed it flitting past the crowd of other zombies trying to look for a way to attack him and leave him vulnerable to attacks from the other zombies.

Cole was counting on its though as he used [Assassinate] stabbing the sword straight through the back of the zombie that had just attacked him skull. That seemed to be the signal that the spectral roving zombie was waiting for as it rushed at Cole while the rest of the world seemed to pick up speed, but at a lot more slower pace than normal. Cole turned to meet the zombie's attack, getting a full look at it this time as he noticed that it wasn't just a zombie but more like a half zombie half ghost like being…..Cole had a theory, but this was not the time to explore it as he slammed an open palm into the stomach of the zombie as it flew at him in midair.

His turn had been sudden, catching the zombie off guard as it had thought it's ambush was going to work a second time. And by this point Cole was already pushing the limits and boundaries of the spectral rover skill. But not just that, his application not the [Energy Manipulation] passive was also reaching a whole new unprecedented level as Cole was now able to add a spin to the [Chaos Blast] skill as it appeared in his hands in a few seconds. And with that he couldn't resist, as he took a deep breath and let out a shout.

"Rasengan!"

*BOOM!*

Time seemed to speed right back up as Cole's attack fully ended the spectral rover skill. The zombie that had taken his modified Rasengan, a skill he had appropriately borrowed from one of his favorite old school anime shows. Plus with a little imagination and his new found mastery of his energy and skills, he was able to bring it to life and with a surprisingly almost similar level of damage as it was from the show.

He had been able to clear a path for himself, which was a lot more than he ever expected as he had just made the move in the heat of the moment. And if he needed more proof that the zombies he was currently dealing with were intelligent, he got it when they all paused to see the damage that he had caused them. Cole did not stand on ceremony and picked up speed, but this has to be the weirdest group of zombies he has ever Cole across as a fireball tinged with eldritch purple flames came flying in his direction.

[Shadow Dance]

Brought him right behind what he could only consider to be a zombie mage, while the previous he had slain was some sort of rogue or something of the sort seeing as it could utilize a similar skill as Cole, or perhaps a skill that was as close to Cole's in resemblance. Either way if Cole really wanted to get out of this encirclement, he would have to fight a lot harder than he already is….. he was prepared.

He left a well charge [Chaos Blast] hanging in the air as he slid his blade into the ribs of the zombie mage then proceeded to rip it upwards, shearing through rotting home, flesh and cartilage as split the zombie in half all the way to the top of it's skull, and not in a good way. He ignored the Zombie and pushed outwards with his body at the epicenter. A powerful force of [Gravity] was released that threw quite a few not the zombies away from Cole while he used [Spectral Rover] again, this time there was no zombie around to stop him as he crossed the court to the other side, and just in time too.

*BOOM!*

The explosion was powerful, more powerful than anything Cole has ever had to deal with or caused. This was the first time since he crossed into the silver rank that he had used the [Chaos Blast] skill in it's full capacity. And it was absolutely devastating, not just to the zombies as the entire court was cratered and the zombies turned to massive pipes of rot, blood, guts and decay. And even at that there was still more streaming into the court by the second.

Cole on the other hand was blasted backwards by the shockwave of his own attack. The hair on his body seemed to rise as he felt the thick presence of chaos in the air and for a second he almost fell into a more primal state. His body that had been thrown backwards, collided with two other zombies before they were blasted out into another tunnel that this time led to a field. Cole couldn't get up though as his ears were ringing and he seemed to have given himself a magical concussion or something of the sort. He stumbled to his feet and tried to move away only for one of the zombies that he had hit to sink it's rotten teeth into his pants leg.

The teeth itself seemed to glint in the dark, it was as if he was not looking at teeth but steel, and true enough there was loud crunch as Cole screamed out in pain and stumbled to the ground, his shin in shambles as blood and massive chewed out part, bone included went home into the mouth of the zombie as it chewed rhythmically whilst making sure it's grey and green orbs were center fully on Cole.

The Raen Progenitor growled out in anger as he hobbled up, driven by equal parts pain and equal parts adrenaline to drive his sword into the back of the Zombie's skull, severing it's head at the base of the spine. Then he lobbed another well charged [Chaos Blast] in the direction of the doors he had just been blasted through, his domain had already warned him enough that there were more still coming, the best he could do was give them a parting gift

[Spectral Rover]

Cole ripped a strip of cloth for the zombies and tied his leg up really tight. His healing was now really slow if not completely absent in the face of a zombie's bite. He needed to ensure he remained alive the old fashion way by making a tourniquet and hoping he doesn't bleed to death. He hobbled his way through using Spectral Rover to come out the field that was surprisingly not having any zombie around. The field itself was also in doors, but at the end was a door with faded neon sign that said EXIT. And right now that was desperately what Cole needed, this school was one for the damned and psychotic trigger happy people….. he'd rather not be here in the next ten minutes.

*BOOM!*

Cole received and influx of notifications and exp, perhaps he even managed to gain a level from all of the chaos. But ultimately as he made his way across the field as quickly as he could, he realized a few things about this floor. One he was stronger, so much so and he could do much more with his abilities now, as long as the bounds of the skill can allow it. Two the zombies were also stronger, and not just stronger they were faster or just as fast as he was, and there has either been a few evolutions or the zombies themselves have access to their own sort of system, and given the intelligence they have shown, that perhaps is not too farfetched.

He was no longer up against mobs or just simple locals of the floor he found himself in. This was an apocalypse looking at him in the face and most of his abilities or rather his weapons have little to almost no effect on them. Cole needed an upgrade in gear just as he needed one in skills. Plus he had pending things to take care of in his stat page, and to do that he needed to find a safe place. So he was going to get out of here and just find out what the hell he was dealing with, and then he would come back stronger and kill every last one of these motherfucking zombies in this motherfucking school!
