Chapter 261 Out Of Place



When the Demon exited from the other side of the room, the Zombie Hunters didn't look surprised and instead cheered at the top of their lungs. From the look of things, unlike the rest of them, the Demon didn't look to be tied up, nor were there any signs of it being forced.

'Is it some type of ability one of the Zombie Hunters have. It wouldn't be too much of a surprise if one of them could do something like that. Which means I would have to be careful if there is. Other than that, there is also a chance that the Demons are in on this, and maybe even made a deal with them.'

Whatever the case was, now this frail man had to deal with the Demon, and as a former Zombie Hunter, there were a lot of those that had high hopes placing large bets on him.

The fight didn't need to be announced, the Demon was the first to attack, stretching out its long tentacles. They came out fast like spears but the Zombie Hunter used his powers and suddenly had moved across the floor and was in a completely different area.

All four of the tentacle-like attacks had hit the floor, piercing the ground.

"How am I meant to kill this thing without any weapons? I can't just do it with my hands!" The man complained.

The Demon was on the move. Moving closer and using its tentacles to strike at the man again. From what they had seen, the man had the power of super speed, he moved quickly avoiding the tentacles again but when he stopped he held his stomach.

"I'm so hungry as well, these bastards didn't even feed me properly before the fight!" The man shouted.

Another of the tentacles came toward him, and he had avoided it like the last attacks but the Demon was also slowly moving in closer and closer. Without a way to fight back the man was wondering what to do, and he soon saw a problem. The Demon coming in closer was cutting off ways for him to run.

It had extended out its tentacles and in doing so, was now using them to block the way the man could run without running into the tentacles. In this situation everything felt hopeless to him. That was until a hammer skidded across the floor.

It was a simple weapon but with his powers, it could be used in an explosive way, in an attack. The man picked up the hammer and immediately ran toward the demon, screaming.

"Arghhh!"

He avoided the tentacles and then when he was in close, he avoided the swipes of the Demon's hands as well. Swinging the hammer as hard as he could, he hit the side of the head. A loud bang was heard, as if it had hit a solid wall, and a small crack could be seen in the Demon's skin.

"I did it!" The man said with a big smile, until he felt something creeping up along his back. The tentacles penetrated his skin, right through his clothes. Blood was soaking through and his body lifted in the air. The grip of his hand weakened until the hammer was dropped onto the floor.

The Demon opened up its mouth, stretching it wider than the man's head. Its sharp fangs were seen coming down and as it bit down, it snapped off the man's head completely. Only the neck and the rest of the body could be seen, as it shrivelled up, being absorbed for its energy.

"Ouch!" The white haired hunter said. "It looks like he was unfortunate and he was one of the fan favourites. Well, better luck next time to all of you."

A man had just died in front of them all, and not just any man but one that used to be part of their group, yet none of them looked to have any remorse and instead were just upset that they had lost their bets.

'These people, how long have they been doing this for, to become so numb to these types of actions.' Zain thought.

Looking at all the hunters, he did see one that was quite disgusted by what was happening, and that was the hunter Wendy.

'Maybe… if I get a chance to speak to her.'

After the Demon had defeated its opponent, it stood there. It had probably gained additional energy from consuming its opponent and all of its wounds were healed. So, in some cases, now for the next contestants they would just find it even harder to deal with.

What was surprising was how the Demon wasn't going on a rampage and attacking those around it, and was patiently waiting for the next participant. Another name had been called, this time it was another Reborn Zombie.

Zain watched this match, but it had ended quicker than the last. The Reborn Zombie had next to no skills, and was hardly able to avoid the tentacles, losing the match fairly quickly.

"I can't believe this is happening, after the favourite went away, the odds of anyone else beating the Demon this time are close to 0."

Those on top looked extremely disappointed in the results as if it was a waste of time for them to come.

'Maybe if I was to catch the interest of one of them… this could work.'

The third participant was called, and once again it wasn't Zain but before they stepped forward Zain raised his hand.

"Can I volunteer?" Zain asked. "I want to be next to fight that thing… but in return for volunteering before the others, I want a sword."
