Chapter 22 - Fight

While Arman was getting into his fighting posture the zombie was steadily making its way towards him.

Soon after they were face to face with each other.

"Man, you really stink. How long has it been since you last cleaned yourself" mocked Arman.

Although the zombie didn't seem to be very intelligent it seemed to understand that the being infront of it was mocking it. 

It seemed to be infuriated by Arman and let out a snarl preparing to rush towards Arman and embrace him until he became fully corroded. 

"Wow, easy there buddy no need to get so infuriated it's bad for your health" said Arman was backing up trying to create some gap between them while the zombie totally ignore what he said and rushed towards him.

The zombie was clearly faster than Amran and was quickly gaining up on him with ooze flying everywhere from its movements. And wherever the ooze landed that place produced fumes of black color and corroded at a visible rate.

"Woah that's a strong effect" commented Light.

Soon while backing away Arman came back to his entry point.

He quickly climbed up the ladder getting back up the way he came with the zombie hot on his pursuit.

As soon as he got out of the sewers the zombie reached the stairs.

"We got the height advantage now" said Arman and quickly took out his pistol and shot at the zombie.

The bullets accurately hit the zombie making it shreek in agony but before Arman could deliver a fatal blow it shrunk back the way it came not giving Arman the opportunity to finish it off easily.

"It seems like dealing with this thing is not gonna be that easy" lamented Arman while shouting towards the zombie "Can't you just come and die peacefully, I promise it's not gonna be that bad just a couple of minutes of pain that's it"

"Do you really think you shouting will make it come here to die" said Light.

"Doesn't hurt to try does it, who knows maybe its depressed and wants to die" said Arman.

"That's a stupid reasoning and can zombies even get sad or depressed" asked back Light.

"If they are smart enough then probably" replied Arman.

"If that thing was smart enough then you'll probably already be dead" said Light.

"Who knows maybe i could have given it a shower and we could be friend's" suggested Arman.

"Yeah right keep on dreaming" rebutted Light.

"Keeping that aside you know that you'll eventually have to deal with it right, we can't go through the ground, air is definitely not an option as well so our only chance is through that sewer and that is also being blocked by that thing" said Light.

Listening to Light Arman began thinking of a way to kill that zombie with minimal effort and started looking around hum trying to find something that could help him potentially kill it.

Looking around here and there he spotted some bottles of cooking oil nearby and seeing it a plan quickly formed in his mind.

"Hey, what do you think are the chances it can be fire resistant" asked Arman.

"Probably close to zero though looking at it's stats it could probably survive for quite some time though" answered Light.

Getting a positive reaction from Light, Arman immediately started perfecting his plan in his brain and after contemplating for a while decided to go ahead with it.

He took the bottle's of oil and poured them in plastic bags that were lying here and there in the building and after making a sufficient amount of oil filled bags he went towards the sewer entrance.

He laid down trying to hear movement from the sewer and sure enough he heard the zombies movement. The movement suggested it was not far from the entrance and was waiting down there for him. Poor thing it didn't know what was coming for it.

After making sure that the zombie was still there this time Arman carefully climbed down the ladder and sure enough the zombie came into view as soon as he descended. 

The zombie was clearly in a bad mood from being shot at and was glaring at Arman and as soon as it saw him it rushed towards him.

Seeing the zombie closing in on him without wasting a single moment Arman took the bags filled with oil and started throwing them at the zombie and without giving any time for the zombie to catch him started climbing back up.

"Now that it's drenched it's time to dry it up" said Arman and while climbing he shot a bullet at it.

As soon as the bullet reached the drenched zombie, it ignited the zombie burning it from head to toe.

The zombie in flames gave a loud shreek and started thrashing around here and there seemingly in intense pain and agony trying to extinguish the flames. But alas there was nothing it could do except keeping on burning. 

Arman having climbed back up the ladder heard the intense commotion cause by the zombie thrashing around and gave a small smirk.

"I am suddenly starting to feel bad for the poor soul. Seeing it's stats it will probably take some time before it dies" said Light.

"You do know that it tried to kill us right" asked Arman.

"Well fair point, may it's soul get reincarnated as something better in it's next life" said Light.

"Wait do zombies even have soul" asked Arman.

"Everything has a soul they just have a soul with no real substance and only by evolving can their soul get substance and become whole again" explained Light.

"Ohh, that makes sense" said light.

While they were talking the commotion beneath them seemed to be getting bigger and bigger meaning it was making a last ditch effort to put out the fire but as time went on the noise got lesser and lesser eventually fading away and what remained was silence.

As soon as the commotion faded like the first time when Arman killed something stronger than him this time as well some sort of energy entered inside of him making him even stronger than before.
