It wasn't just the three green demons in front of Zain, a lot of the demons that he had ignored to get here had now come through the back, and in doing so they had blocked the way for him to exit.
"There's no way for you to escape now." Izec said.
"Do you think that if I got through just as many to get here, that I couldn't get away, and in the first place…" The demons coming in from the back extended out their tentacles towards Zain, he lifted his sword and swung it in half a circular motion, cutting off and dropping several of them to the ground in one swoop.
"I have no intention of trying to escape. In order to survive, we have to get rid of you!"
Zain charged forward, exploding from his position, and Izec transformed his entire arm into what looked like a giant axe. The titan sword had been swung and the two clashed with Izec being pushed back against the grass.
Another one of the other green demons leapt up, and turned their hand into a giant club. Seeing this, Zain pointed his white sword toward the demon, and extended it out changing its shape into a long spear, stabbing it right through the centre of the demon.
Swinging with all his strength, Zain pushed away Izec, and then focused on the demon who he had just stabbed. He transformed the white sword again, thickening it from a spear into a large pole.
Placing the titan sword back into his system for a moment, he held the white sword that was now a thick pole with both hands and swung it down, slamming it onto the ground. The dirt from underneath it was lifted into the air, as the green coloured demon was smashed into the ground.
Right on his tail though was the third green demon, and this one had transformed both of his hands into blades and struck right at him. He was incredibly fast, even by Zain's standards, and he only had the time to avoid a fatal strike, moving out of the way and receiving a large cut on his shoulder.
Quickly spinning, the titan sword whacked at his side, creating a big clash and sending the green demon skidding away across the floor. Not wasting time, Zain jumped up, with the titan sword in hand, and landed right down on the green demon from earlier that he had slammed into the ground. The sword pierced right through his head, killing him on the spot, or at least making sure he was dead.
"You didn't even flinch when you got hit. You're a zombie." Izec said. "How did you do it? How did you get the groups to convince themselves to work together!"
With one out of the way and both swords in hand, Zain went up against the double bladed green demon. He swung them both and the green demon was doing well to deflect the attacks.
Several clashes and sparks went off in the air, one after the other, but bit by bit the demon was being pushed back and there looked to be a struggle on his face. Seeing this, Izec desperately tried to join in, swinging his axe down. He had hit nothing but the grass. Zain had avoided the blow cleanly and lifting up his leg, side kicked Izec right in the face sending him back.
"Arghh!" Izec shouted in frustration. "Did you force them with your strength, through fear!"
Zain lifted up both of his swords and swung them down as hard as he could, the green demon's arms were finally sliced off with this move, and in one motion, he swung at the neck, slicing it right off.
"Forced them?" Zain said. "No, I just simply talked to them."
There was only one demon left, and from the looks of things, it had to be the leader. Since completing the quest, Zain had an unmatched strength. Thanks to the lessons that had been taught to him by Humfree and to the crystal that turned him from Sarah, he was able to use his strength.
Zain charged forward explosively and held both of the swords by his side, he swung them with all his strength, clashing right against Izec's large hand axe, and sent his body flying in the air, until it had hit the large meteorite behind him.
"With this, I will allow for the human race to survive." Zain said, as he walked over.
From the looks of things in his system, he could see that the zombies were doing incredibly well, and he imagined the other groups were progressing as well. It was quite amazing in a way.
They had struggled with the current situation so much alone, as individual groups, but now together, the situation was so easy to resolve. All of the groups were now seeing this as they worked together, and wondered what would've happened if they hadn't had Zain, a simple university student.
One who stumbled across the Crystal, who was obsessed with survival.
"Hahaha!" Izec laughed. "Never has this ever before happened to us, I wondered what was so different about this planet compared to the others. It made no sense, intelligent life forms always acted in the same way.
"They were always the makers of their own demise, and for the first time a situation has turned out like this. Well, it's not the end yet, let's see you survive this!"
Izec placed his hand on the large meteorite behind him, and his body started to shrivel up, the life in his eyes was completely disappearing and he had turned into nothing but a sack of skin, exactly like those the demons drained.
The large meteorite, right after that, pulsated with a large glow, and started to crack at the top, like a giant egg.
