Chapter 13 13: I Can't Die Yet
Corey gritted his teeth in anger as an expression of madness slowly made his way into his eyes and facial expression.
He would rip out the throats of this damn bastards
And their god damn stupid smile, he would tear it off.
No matter what!!
He was fucking tired of this bastards coming after him every single time!!
"Come!!
No more running!!
If I don\'t tear that stupid smile off your face,
Then my name isn\'t Corey Junior Zane!!!"
Corey roared and brought out Smile Reaper. Meanwhile the Smileys agitated by his roar, roared also.
ROOOARRR!!!!
The combined roar of eight smileys would have scared or made Corey anxious but right now, Corey was anything but scared or anxious, in fact his anger and madness increased the moment he heard the roar.
"Shut the fuck up you bastards!! Must you shout for every single thing?!!!"
Corey roared then ran towards the smileys. As he ran, he spoke to the Universal System.
"Increase my strength, agility, constitution and endurance to 10. Then increase my dexterity to 5."
Although Corey was so angry to the point that normally he was not meant to be able to think of any other thing, he doesn\'t know why but in a way he was still able to think rationally even when he was extremely angry.
It was weird if one thinks about it.
When one is extremely angry, they lose all sense of rationality. And if one starts thinking rationally, then their anger would inevitably reduce but for Corey, he was extremely angry and he was still able to think rationally.
It was like he had a second mind which was not affected by his emotions and could still help Corey make rational decisions.
Honestly, it was a terrifying ability when one thinks about it.
Imagine somebody having an increase in strength due to anger, but can still maintain his rationality even with that anger.
This was an ability somebody with an \'Omniscience\' talent could have. An ability that even the Universal System does not know about.
Despite all of this, as Corey\'s speed increased drastically, the smileys also ran towards him.
Corey gripping Smile Reaper tightly, focused on the movements and positions of the Smileys with so much attention that he was totally unaware of his surroundings and a few changes were occurring in his body due to his current state.
His heart beat reduced but pumped more blood for every beat, sparks appeared in his brain and his lungs and nostrils breathed in air in a different manner.
He was in a state a lot of martial artists could not reach and would definitely envy.
A state called The Zone.
Though, there was one problem concerning Corey\'s zone. Corey is not a fighter and he had never held a knife to even kill a chicken, so although he was the zone currently, he could not utilize it to it\'s full potential.
As soon as the distance between Corey and the Smileys reached around 7 meters, the Smiley at the forefront jumped towards him with it\'s mouth wide open and Corey despite his non-fighting experience, \'knew\' or to be more accurate, \'predicted\' that the Smiley would jump towards him.
He doesn\'t know how he could predict something like that, but right now was not the time to think about stuffs like that.
Calmly, Corey stopped flawlessly and sidestepped to the left, leaving nothing but air for the Smiley to bite.
Corey not wasting anytime held Smile Reaper in a reverse grip and stabbed it into it\'s head from the top, eliciting a roar of pain and anguish from the Smiley.
Ignoring the roar of pain from the Smiley, Corey removed the dagger from it\'s head drawing out blood in the process, and twisted his body. His above average agility showing wonders at the moment.
Twisting in a half circle, he swept his legs horizontally towards the abdomen of the closest Smiley and using the accumulated force of his spin, he sends the Smiley off his feet.
Looking at the remaining six smileys which had surrounded him in a circle, Corey took in a deep breath and went towards the Smiley on his left.
He could see that the body of the Smiley had a broken leg and was basically dragging itself making it a weak target.
"Huuuaaaahhhhhh!!!"
Corey roared out as he used a drop kick to send the Smiley far away from the circle. Due to his high agility, he could land on his feet after performing the drop kick.
Using the opportunity, he ran through the opening and seeing the struggling Smiley on the floor, a strange glint appeared in his eyes and he ran towards it.
Holding Smile Reaper, he performed a front roll and used the opportunity to stab the head with Smile Reaper.
Rooaarrr!!!!
Corey looked back and saw six Smileys chasing after him, with the smiley he kicked previously already back on it\'s feet and it\'s anger much much higher than before.
Corey exhaled then made a decision. He stood, faced the front and ran.
He ran like the wind.
All the while cursing his stupidity.
He could not believe that he thought he would be able to kill all the 8 Smileys especially when he didn\'t have any prior combat experience.
In fact the main reason he decided to run was because his head started aching him and he could feel his stamina running out. He definitely did not want to run out of energy while been surrounded by those creeps.
So a chase between smiling corpses and a bloodied teenager happened, and it lasted for only four seconds.
After the third second, Corey\'s eye\'s started darkening and his chest started hurting him. Not knowing the exact reason for the pain, Corey forced himself to resist the pain and focus on his escape.
But the next second,
Cough
Corey coughed out blood.
His eyes darkened and his legs felt weak.
Bam Bam Bam
Corey tumbled and coughed out more blood. Broken bones, a bruised body and a bloodied body. Corey\'s eyes darkened the more, threatening to close.
\'No I cannot die here. I cannot die to fucking Smileys.\'
Corey stretched out his hand trying to pull himself up or drag himself but that in itself was a difficult task.
\'I can\'t die. No I can\'t die yet. I haven\'t called home yet. I haven\'t asked about my sister yet.\'
Those were Corey\'s last thoughts as he looked into the distance. He could not hear anything, he could not feel anything and what he saw was mainly darkness.
But just as his eyes were about to close, he saw a streak of red and then his eyes closed.
