I See One Second Into The Future: Loner In The Apocalypse

Kairos did a preliminary scan and noticed that there were four monsters coming at him from different angles from where he could see. All things considered, there were probably two more coming from behind.

He decided to take a step forward, whipping his metal pole towards one of the monsters in front of him.

Their skull exploded.

Suddenly, Kairos an unbearably strong pain coming from his back, all the while three monsters from the front were closing in. He bent his knees slightly before shooting backwards.

Kairos slammed into the chest of a monster whose head was now right next to him by the shoulder. He was not concerned about that monster as of right now, however. Instead, he twirled the metal pole to push on the back of a nearby monster, sending it towards the three charging at the front.

With his two points in strength, he was able to force that monster forward, causing it to stumble in the way. At that point, Kairos felt an extremely bad pain coming from his neck.

With his increased willpower, he was able to respond almost immediately, sending the end of the pole towards the skull on his shoulder.

A loud bang resounded right next to Kairos' face.

The monster's head exploded into a mass of warm blood that splashed across his face. Coupled with the small smile Kairos had right now, he looked like a bonafide serial killer.

As for the monster he had thrown ahead before, it tanked a few hits for him. One of the claws even directly pierced through, appearing on the other side.

By now, the metal pole had bent severely. Yet, Kairos recklessly slammed it against the monster in front of him, not wanting to lose the points.

A fleshy tear rang out.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

The monster's head was torn off completely, but the body continued to obstruct the monsters, albeit only for a moment.

Kairos had no time to deal with them as two more monsters had approached from behind, getting uncomfortably close. He bent down on one knee and sent the end of the metal pole flying towards one.

However, Kairos soon found a fresh pain coming from his arm as he saw the monster randomly lunge forth and bite down with his future vision.

In that split second, Kairos twirled the metal pole around, smashing the biting monster's teeth. Unfortunately, it was not dead. As for the other one he ignored, it attempted to swipe at him with a claw, which Kairos dodged by stepping to the side.

Right after, he elbowed the monster's chest. Kairos felt some bone in him snap concerningly, but the creature was also forced back, with something that snapped in its own body.

The monster that was toothless attempted to slash him with its claws, but Kairos twirled to pole around easily, slamming it against the side of its head.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

The skull was smashed, however part of the metal pole ended up breaking off entirely, unable to withstand the continued force exerted on it.

Suddenly, Kairos' eyes rolled up into the back of his head.

An overwhelmingly strong signal of pain filled up his brain. Specifically, it came from the back of his neck. He had neglected the monster behind him for too long and that came to bite him.

Literally.

Kairos nearly blacked out from the agony, but was just barely able to swing his metal pole behind him. As for aiming, it was no longer something he could do right now.

A loud bang resounded.

Suddenly, the pain from his neck disappeared. His metal pole smashed into the chest of one of the monsters, getting it off him. There were tears streaming down Kairos' face that quickly mixed in with the blood.

His breathing was heavy as well.

However, this was not time for him to take a break.

Kairos still felt lingering fear from his near-death experience and decided he needed to try even harder. His fists clenched a little harder around the base of the metal pole and flung it around.

With a crash, one of the monster's heads exploded.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

Right after, he rebounded off that impact, sending the metal pole back around towards another monster, exploding its skull as well.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

As for the monster that was hit in the chest earlier, it seemed to struggle in terms of breathing. However, it still reached out to Kairos.

Unfortunately for it, Kairos was easily able to dodge its sluggish movement before sending an uppercut with one end of the metal pole towards its head.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

The monster's head shot up and hit the ceiling before coming back down.

Despite being in the freezer section, sweat began pouring down from Kairos' head. His body emitted strong waves of heat as he continued exerting his body.

By now, Kairos' fingers felt a little sore as he really had to put strength into his swings if he wanted to guarantee that the monster's skull was smashed.

Unfortunately, there were still many more monsters left in the freezer. On top of that, because Kairos recklessly charged in, he was getting surrounded once more.

Kairos narrowed his eyes, then came up with an idea.

What if he just kept moving forwards?

That way, he wouldn't be attacked in the back. With his agility paired with his natural ability, it shouldn't be too hard to navigate his way forward.

And so, that's what Kairos did.

He bolted forwards, prompting two monsters in front of him to reach out with their claws. Kairos stepped to the side and thrust one end of the metal pole straight through one monster, then slammed into it with his shoulder, getting himself out of the encirclement.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

Kairos turned around to see the group of monsters running towards him. He was running away, but was quickly running out of space given that this was still a relatively small room.

And so, Kairos decided to charge straight towards the group once more.

The metal pole in his hand danced like a venomous snake, slipping through their attacks before landing on their vital points. As for Kairos himself, he shifted from the left and right almost like a leaf being blown along in the wind.

Kairos got through the tiniest gaps, almost like the monsters weren't obstructing him in the first place.

Skulls were being smashed one by one.

Kairos' body was drenched from head to toe in blood, but he didn't seem to mind. Naturally with how reckless he was, sometimes he would mess up and see his body get ripped apart in his future vision.

However, while it was only one second, his fast agility let him react to the scenario in time, bashing more skulls.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

The other end of his metal pole broke, leaving him with what was essentially a really long shank. Nonetheless, he continued to fight with it, bending it further with each strike.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

Before he knew it, there were only three monsters left in the room.

Kairos was panting heavily, with one eye closed. Though he wasn't injured, the blood covering his face forced him to close one.

It was at this point that the monsters seemed to be afraid. They weren't willing to recklessly charge towards him anymore.

Kairos smiled.

"Haha... too afraid?"

However, while the monsters were afraid, his own condition wasn't too good. Although two points of endurance had carried his body to move for a long amount of time, he simply did far too many strenuous movements in a short period of time. His mind was also pretty stressed from processing so many images.

As such, Kairos was really tired.

On top of that, his weapon was now heavily damaged.

Though he could rush over to the fire axe on the wall, it was encased within a container that had a latch that was required to be removed before it could be opened. In other words, the monsters would probably rush towards him while he did that.

And so, Kairos had to work with the now short metal scrap he was holding onto.

Though the monsters didn't want to engage right away, Kairos saw no reason to wait any longer. The adrenaline was still coursing through his body in waves and he fully intended on taking advantage of that.

And so, he dashed forwards, causing the three monsters to panic. However, they still responded with their own attacks.

The monster on the left swiped with its claw, but Kairos simply ducked to the side, dodging it. Right after, he let out a heave and thrust the metal scrap into the monster's skull.

[Killed Creature (Challenge Kill - One Rank Superior to Killer) - 0.3 points awarded]

Kairos tried to pull it out, but couldn't do so easily. He put a lot of strength behind it, but forcibly tugged the head along with it.

This was because the metal scrap had severely bent ends from all the abuse earlier. Now, this bent end got caught on one of the bones.

Suddenly, Kairos felt fresh pain coming from his arm, prompting him to abandon his weapon and step back. Right as he did, a claw swiped towards where his arm was.

The two monsters weren't just going to wait by and give him all day.

Kairos began panicking slightly.

After all, the biggest advantage he had over these monsters wasn't any kind of ability, but the capability of using weapons. If Kairos was forced into a hand-to-hand combat situation, he wasn't even confident of winning against a single monster.

Even if he could, it would be a long and drawn out battle.

And so, Kairos bolted towards the fire axe, unable to think of another solution. The two monsters weren't as fast, but they chased after him without hesitation.

It only took Kairos a few seconds to reach the container. He fumbled with the latch and looked over his shoulder. The monsters were right behind him.

Kairos immediately realized something.

There was no time.

He spun around and charged forth with grit teeth.

Might as well try, right?

The monster on the left slashed at Kairos, but he easily saw that coming and dodged. As for the other monster, it pounced forth, attempting to bite down on him.

Kairos' pupils constricted as he decided to truly let loose with his insanity.

Instead of dodging, Kairos used his future vision to predict the monster's trajectory. Then, he lunged forth as well, straight towards the monster.

A long bang resounded.

Kairos headbutt the creature, causing the both of them to recoil backward. His mind went black for a split second from it, but it seemed that the monster was also as disoriented, if not more.

But that didn't mean the other creature was just going to stand by.

It lunged forth, attempting to slash him once more.

However, Kairos quickly recovered from his dazed state and sidestepped. He suddenly recalled the monster that had breathing problems earlier, then got an idea.

Kairos straightened his hand out before plunging it towards the monster's chest. He immediately felt the fingernail on his middle finger break.

But his hand went inside.

Straight towards the monster's heart
