Chapter 222 - Intervention!
With the surprise yell that came from Mario was also the arrival of Burge near him. Burge was not able to stop anymore so he went and proceeded with his original plan.
As the handle of the sword neared his face Mario only smirked upon seeing how slow it was.
Burge on the other hand had already become worried as he saw Mario's confident smirk. He held the sword's handle tightly and upon reaching an inch closer towards Mario's face, he suddenly twisted it bringing the sharp blade right in front of Mario's face.
Mario was surprised upon the sudden change of attack but he reacted to it nevertheless. However, due to him only recovering just seconds ago, his reaction was a little late and as he leaned back to dodge, a portion of his hair was cut.
A perfectly symmetrical bangs were then created.
"K.kisama! How dare you cut my hair like this. Shini!"
Mario bellowed as he spun the 'The Round World' rapidly before releasing it towards Burge's stomach. Emon did not idle either as he attacked Burge's open back at the same time.
With two attacks coming from both sides, Burge could only grit his teeth while trying to come up with the best solution to escape the current predicament.
However, time won't allow him to ponder over it as the shot-put ball and the black knife neared him.
"Tsk!" Burge grunted before twisting his body to the side.
It enabled him to evade the lethal knife that was coming to his buttocks. However, it also caused him to be hit by the shot-put ball.
However, he thought it was better than getting stabbed. Who knows if that blade was also coated with poison.
Burge could only grit his teeth and steel his nerve as he prepared to receive the full blow of the shot-put ball.
"Arggh-"
However, it seems that he underestimated the strength of Mario a lot. The force he received this time was much greater than the last.
His eyes went wide like a tomato as a mouthful of blood escaped his mouth. His body was thrown in the air for a few inches before his consciousness black out completely.
However, he refused to back down like this. His consciousness returned as soon as it left. With eyes full of determination, he gritted his teeth to suppress the pain before swinging the sword towards Emon in a swift manner.
Shwaakk!
The sound of flesh getting cut was heard as Burge smiled in satisfaction before his body flew back like a rocket.
"Emon-kun!" Mario yelled as he stretched his arms to catch and prevent Emon from falling to the ground face first.
A bloody wound could be seen protruding blood like a fountain on Emon's chest. His eyes were dim as the toad poison took effect immediately.
At the same time, Burge's body landed on the ground a few meters away. A second later, he stood up from the ground with shaking legs.
He was clutching his broken ribs with one hand while the sword was on the other.
He panted heavily and was coughing lots of blood. "He he he! I'm gonna bring at least one of you along with me."
Burge rejoiced upon seeing Emon sprawl to the ground.
"Tsk! You should just die peacefully!" Mario stated as he slowly rested Emon to the ground. He then stood up before picking up the 'The Round World' from the ground.
He spun 'The Round World' rapidly as he stared daggers at Burge. Black lines formed on his forehead indicating how pissed off he was.
Burge only smiled upon the provocation. He knew that he would die today and he was already trying to come up with another set of feint attacks to at least bring the person along with him to the afterlife.
Just as Mario was about to release the spinning 'The Round World' they suddenly heard a frantic shout that came from the distance.
"ESCAPE! ESCAPE! ESCAPE!"
"Dozens of Level Two° zombies are approaching here. Any second now and they will arrive."
The person who appeared was wearing haggard clothes. Based on the way he was walking, he must be injured.
"B. Burnok?" Burge uttered as he saw the person shouting hysterically.
'Since when did he become this pitiful?' A question formed inside Burge's head as he wondered how the arrogant Burnok's appearance became so miserable.
Mario became vigilant upon knowing that the two were acquaintances. 'Yabai!'
Mario was no longer confident about defeating them now that he was outnumbered. He was now secretly planning to escape but the problem he was facing is that he doesn't want to leave the others behind.
"No time to explain. Dozens of zombies were approaching here. If we don't leave now we will become their lunch." He stated as he picked up Damian from the ground.
He then went towards Burge and supported him with his shoulders. He then turned his head towards Mario before speaking, "You should leave too. You are strong but you won't be able to confront them."
"Don't get me wrong… I just don't want you to become their nutrients." He added before leaving the area with the weak Burge and still unconscious Damian.
"Hmmp! I won't let this slide! I will get back with you no matter what." Mario retorted before approaching Dario with a face full of worry.
At the same time, a groan could be heard as Dario blinked his eyes twice. The poison's effect had already started to wear off. But the blood that he lost from the wound on his arm and chest still made him dizzy.
"Ototo… Are you alright?" Mario worriedly touched his twin's cheek.
Dario responded with a nod. He then slowly sat up and shook his head to get rid of the dizziness. He then tore the sleeve of his blazer before using it to bandage his arm wound.
Hearing the voice of his brother Mario sighed in relief. "Ototo we must leave immediately… Can you carry Dexter-kun with you?"
