Tap! Tap! Sound of steady footsteps echoed.
Xavier's eyes turned slightly solemn, he could feel the monster moving closer to his cell.
Facing the enemy head was the only option left, there was no escaping.
His eyes scanned the cell rapidly, his gaze pausing only at the iron water pipe above the toilet seat.
With a jerk, Xavier hastily dashed and grabbed the pipe and yanked it out with all his strength.
The earlier earthquake had already loosened the pipe, so without much effort the three foot water pipe was in his hand, once the fitting was removed a shower of cold water filled the cell.
Xavier couldn't bother caring about it, his gaze focused on the monster banging the Iron bars from outside.
"Just what are these glowing swords made of..?" He couldn't stop himself from asking as he noticed faint marks appeared on the iron bars, it wouldn't take long before they were cut down.
Meanwhile outside, several prisoners and even officers were overjoyed by this development, they took Xavier plight as an opportunity to escape, no one thought about helping Xvaier.
Xavier was mentally preparing himself for the fight, when a piece of iron bar was completely cut and flung in his direction like a bullet, instinctively he moved, throwing his head backward, the point iron bar reflected in his pupil for a brief moment before hitting the cold wall.
Hiss! Xavier let out a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the fact that he was already prepared the iron bar might have severely injured him.
He threw the rusty water piper away and grabbed the iron bar tightly, choosing a better weapon without hesitation, considering it looked sturdier compared to the rusty water pipe in his hand.
With it he might have a chance.
However the Sword Zombie wasn't going to give him that chance, swoosh! Xavier barely blinked when his entire vision was filled by a sharp glowing sword directly coming at his throat.
Instinctively block raised the pipe and managed to block the blow, clank! A terrifying shock ran through his hands, almost causing him to fall on his butt.
Xavier head was buzzing as if hit by a hammer.
The Difference in strength between Xavier and the Executioner Zombie was too great.
"The diffence in strength is too great, I will definitely die fighting head on.."
From the first exchange alone, Xavier concluded.
Escape..! This thought occurred to him, as the bars preventing from escaping were already cut. However as soon as this thought occurred to him he shook his head, the monster speed was definitely higher then its strength, if he tried to run, death will only come faster.
Fighting was the only option, once Xavier came to his conclusion, his eyes turned slightly cold and his grip on the bar tightened.
Clank!
Irong bar and the sword clashed multiple times in a breath of time, Xavier some how managed to avoid getting his neck chopped by a hair breadth, with every swing he was being pushed backwards, Just few step away from the wall.
Bang!
Xavier rolled to the side and Swords Zombie sword hit the cell wall, slightly stuck, taking a large chunk of concrete out of it.
Completely unaffected, The monster swung it's sword again.
Sizzle, as soon as the sword made contact with the wet ground steam burst out of it, the sword glowed slightly fading.
Xavier's eyes narrowed to slits witnessing this scene.
Thinking of something his eyes lit up like torches, he purposefully moved closer to the water source, not realizing Xavier's plan the sword zombie followed him close, attacking aggressively.
As Xavier expected, once the Sword Zombie was directly inside the shower, the glowing sword started to flicker showing signs of dissipating. This change seemed to have finally alerted the monster as it tried to back away, however before it could even take a step back, "You are not going anywhere.." Xavier jumped and grabbed its ankles, holding tightly, not allowing the monster to move even an inch.
The swords zombie struggled and started kicked him frantically, but Xavier didn't budge.
Soon the sword completely dissipated, taking this chance, Xavier started attacking relentlessly, aiming for weak point, the zombie head.
Iron pipe hit the monster's head like a hammer, the force caused the pipe to bend, Xavier ignored it and continued hammer like a machine, each swing powered by his fifteen points of strength.
Crack! Unable to withstand the onslaught, a sound similar to a watermelon exploding filled the cell.
Thud! The monster gigantic figure fell down splashing droplet of water.
Then a thick ball of light emerged from the dead zombie corpse and merged with Xavier.
However he didn't care about it, his focus shifting to the new windows that had popped in front of him as soon as he killed the monster.
[Ding! You have absorbed the record of Execution Zombie Level 5. Strength+6, Agility+7, Stamina +9]

After quickly reading through the windows, his attention shifted to the two glowing items lying on the ground, beside the Zombie corpse.
"Loot from killing the mosnter..?" Xavier muttered in a slightly unsure tone, still he reached out and grabbed both of them at the same time.
[Executioner Class Scroll x1]
[Scroll of sacrifice x1]
....
[Executioner class Scroll - A class scroll dropped by the special grade non evolved zombie, crush the scroll to learn the Epic Grade Executioner class.]
Xavier had witnessed the power of the Executioner zombie with his own two eyes, it had sliced through every obstacle in its path. It was only because of sheer luck and quick thinking that he was able to kill it.

[Yes/No]
The simple window floated in front of Xavier, the blue text burning into his retina waiting for his choice, instinctively one of his hand rose up in the air, one finger slowly extending toward the box, just as he was about to tap on the letter yes, a chilling went running down his spine
