With weapons in their hands the crowd were getting somewhat excited. Regardless of who they had bet on, they also wanted to be entertained and so far everything was too one sided.
The first to act was Dart, he had no fear with the daggers in his hands, and when the tentacles came toward him he leapt up in the air spinning his body. Several cuts were made along the tentacles, not deep enough to completely slice them off but enough to knock them away.
It didn't take long for Dart to be right next to the demon. He charged in, slicing at its stomach, and then moving his position before he could be hit back. He was being extra cautious with his attacks, hurting it while making sure he didn't get hurt.
Anna, seeing this as her best chance, also started to move forward. One of the tentacles came straight toward her but lifting up her glaive she just continued to run forward, her blood weapons were strong and extremely sharp.
One could see this because when the tentacle touched the bladed edge, the tentacle was just split in half as she continued forward. It looked like even the demon hadn't expected this as the other tentacles were going toward Zain or Dart.
With all the tentacles that were coming toward Zain, he waited for the right moment and then from the bottom, he swung the sword up in a circular motion nearly making a complete circle. It was a smooth motion, there was no resistance as the sword travelled through the tentacles.
When he stopped, four ends of the tentacles had fallen to the floor. The demon tentacles that seemed impossible to cut were sliced with ease.
'This really is a good weapon.' Zain thought, holding it in his hand. He wondered if it was permanent or if there was a time frame as to when the weapon would run out. Judging by the fact that Anna had no weapons on her, it was safer to assume that the weapons would eventually disappear.
"You two, you'll be fine dealing with the demons, right?" Zain asked, not really waiting for an answer as he set his eyes on another.
The Reborn Zombie had just been killed, sliced in half, the top and bottom falling to the floor. Then the stage 3 zombie simply stepped on its head, crushing it. Now there was only the military man that was left.
"I'm going to deal with the bigger problem!" Zain started to run toward the stage 3 zombie.
The military man continued to avoid its blows by the skin of his teeth, but looking at them, he could see a person in particular, standing just by the side.
'That's Tack… right now, it would be a perfect opportunity, to kill him and make it look like I was trying to attack the zombie.' Zain thought.
This was the original plan, the plan set up by Wendy, and looking around the room, he caught eyes with Wendy as well. He could see that she could also see the perfect opportunity.
Running with his full speed, the zombie lifted up its claw and swiped at the military man. The bones in its hands had suddenly extended. This time, the attack would hit the military man even though he had perfected his timing.
A red sword came out from the side, and clashed right on the long dangly bones of the zombie, as the sword and claws were locked, Zain used his strength to move the arm out of the way, flinging it to the side, and swung the sword again striking its hand.
"Booo! Boo!!"
Many from the crowd started to boo, because they had bet on the military man on dying, but instead he had been saved by Zain
'Even if I killed Tack, and started to cause chaos in this room, it wouldn't get me very far. All of the Zombie Hunters could turn on me and try to fry me on the spot, I would have no way of stopping that.'
Which was why Zain thought the best thing to do was to kill this stage 3, get stronger, and just be patient for what was to come.
Zain charged in, and unlike before when he fought against the stage 3, he wasn't on the back foot. His strength with his speed was enough to keep up with the strikes from the creature.
He could knock away its long dangly limbs with his weapon and arms. The blood weapon was indeed very good. Having fought a stage 3 before, he knew its weakness as well.
There was a slight soft spot on the back of the stage 3. Which, even with Zain's speed, made it somewhat difficult.
In the end, through their struggles Dart and Anna managed to defeat the three demons. Dart had done most of the work, but without the weapons created by Anna, he might have not been able to get through this all.
The two turned their heads looking at Zain, looking at his skill and speed. There were times, where he would speed up, at a certain point to strike with the sword. He was so skillful, so fast, and it was almost like watching a show the way Zain handled the sword.
"Weapon!" Zain shouted, he could see from the corner of his eye that the other two were done.
Anna didn't hesitate, knowing this person could deal with the creature, and threw her glaive. Jumping up in the air, Zain grabbed onto the glaive and before he landed he hurled it right at the zombie.
It stabbed it in its chest, and it was struggling to pull it out. Landing on his feet Zain ran forward and spun behind it, stabbing his sword through its back, then holding onto the handle with both hands he pulled upwards, slicing the sword through its body and head, cutting it right in half.
Blood rained and fell on top of Zain, as the zombie fell to the ground.
