Chapter 222 The End Of The Diamond Quest

The Reborn group knew their strength and there was a reason why Sarah had sent Sid and X out together without too much worry, because they were some of the best and strongest members that the Reborn group had.

Skilled in fighting, excellent strength and speed, and they knew quite a lot about the current situation and their reason for the Reborn group in the first place.

They knew their strength and believed that with all of them, they would have been the first to take out a demon, which was why it had come as such a big surprise when they could see the red haired zombie in front of them.

"Did he… kill the other demon?" Sid said, as he got off from the demon's back allowing it to drop on the floor as it was certainly lifeless. What was also impressive was the weapons that Zain held in his hand.

"You… you're Zain, right?" X said, coming over. "You are like us, right?"

———

A little while before Zain had gone against the second demon he was still facing one of them on his own. With Cody and Ryan backing him up, it gave him a slight amount of room to breathe, and now that the other two demons were busy with their own groups, in a way it felt like a much fairer fight.

Zain ran forward as fast as he could and the tentacles came toward him, when the first one went to grab him he swung the titan sword with great strength. Rather than trying to cut it, Zain hit the tentacle with the side of his sword, whacking the tentacle away.

'I can't slow down, if I want to get rid of it, the best thing to do is attack its main body, not the tentacles.' Zain thought. 'The Titan sword isn't sharp enough to cut through the tentacles in one go, so this is better.'

When another one appeared, rather than trying to strike it, Zain decided to avoid the tentacle by jumping the side, it slammed against the floor leaving a large mark. It was no wonder it broke his bones even with the endurance stat.

Still, although he had avoided two, the third and fourth tentacle once again seemed like they would be too much for Zain, as he wasn't ready to use his weapons, but a click was heard and seconds later a large bang and explosion went off.

A rocket had hit the main body of the demon, the tentacles moved slightly off target and it allowed Zain to run through again.

'I might only get one chance, so let's use it wisely.' Zain thought.

He could see Ryan and Cody reloading the rocket launcher again, it was a good distraction and now it allowed for Zain to get in striking distance of the demon.

He swung the sharper but more fragile white weapon sideways, aiming to slice off its head, but what Zain didn't realise through the smoke was that one of the tentacles had retracted, getting smaller in size. It swung from the side and hit him in the ribs, he could hear them breaking and although there was no pain, his whole body was swung to the side.

'I can't get too far away, I have to stick close to it!' Zain lifted the Titan sword and stabbed it in the ground, stopping him from rolling away any further. He started to use his energy to heal his broken side, and immediately ran right at the demon.

"Fire away!" Zain shouted.

It was a clear signal to the others, and they complied as Ryan pulled the trigger. The rocket launcher flew through the air, and once again, at the right time, it hit the demon cleanly, right on its body and a black cloud of smoke had been made blocking the view for both of them.

Zain ran forward, and through the smoke he could see it, two tentacles that looked slightly different. The ends had opened up like a mouth and were heading right for him. Rather than trying to avoid the hit, instead he thrust the white weapon forward, and both of the tentacles hit him right on his shoulder. It felt like two suction cups were suddenly on him.

The suction power didn't last long as the two tentacles soon fell off from him. When the black cloud cleared up, Ryan and Cody could see it, somehow, Zain was no longer holding onto a sword, and instead it had turned into a spear.

The spear end had been shoved right through the demon's head killing it on the spot. Zain had used the transformation skill of the weapon. An element of surprise while the smoke was clearing up.

It was safe to say thanks to the help of Ryan and Cody, he was able to complete this far easier than he intended. It wasn't soon after that though, that Zain went to help the other Reborn group finish off the second demon which led him to the situation he was in now.

——

Pink, Kun and Kelly all came running over, and as they did, they lifted up their helmets a little to show Zain who it was.

"Zain, we have been looking everywhere for you!" Pink shouted.

"X, you don't have to worry, this is the person we were talking about, this is who we wanted to save." Kun explained.

Zain looked at all of them with smiles on his face, and turned to Kelly as well.

"It looks like you made it then, is this the Reborn group?" Zain guessed.

"Yes." X replied, he still had his helmet on and Sid quickly pushed down the Helmet of the others.

"We are part of the Reborn group, and you should be able to tell that we are just like you." X explained. "While the army, and the others are still dealing with the last demon, we should get out of here. After they're done with that, they will soon come for us."

Zain looked and could see that the Zombie Hunters were still fighting, and Begal was concentrating on the last enemy as well as helping those that had been hurt. It was a good opportunity to leave, but there was one worry he had.

'If I'm away while the last demon gets defeated, will I still get the diamond quest… but, the Reborn group, they should have the answer to all the questions I have, right?' Zain thought.

It was a risk but it looked like the Zombie Hunters would be able to finish the last demon, so more likely he should still get the quest reward.

"Alright, let's get out of here, and head to the Reborn group." Zain answered.
