NOVEL NEXT Chapter 12: DecaKill!
Draziel's maddened smile widened as he read through the notification. His killing intent exploded even more once he saw the attribute of the silver item.
Touching the single leather glove, it felt especially warm and as he wore it on his left hand, it fit snugly against his palm and arm.
A few soft material looking like metal stretched from the tips of his fingers, wounding tightly around the forearm.
Only problem was that, it was ugly and too long, stretching all the way to his elbow. The glove also wasn't well crafted but he could managed it.
A few seconds after putting on the glove, he felt it tighten against his palm, wrist and forearm.
Draziel raised his hand and looked down with a frown.
In that instant, he felt several thread like needles extend from the glove, stabbing straight into his flesh, fingers and bones like tens of parasites as they merged against his veins, wounding tightly round his finger bones and sinking into blood stream.
With that, a part of the glove turned crimson while other part remained dark.
Feeling the glove squirm as its tentacles dug deep inside his bones sucked on his blood, Draziel's frown deepened.

╚═════════════════════════╝
His vitality had actually reduced. Although it was only by 0.01, Draziel was annoyed.
Draziel's eyes focused on [Blood Item] and it immediately expanded as explanations appeared.
[Blood Items; Items requiring vitality to equip and activate.]
[Note: Vitality won't be lost permanently and can replenished by consuming food or Nexus coins. But if blood items are abused, there's a chance of losing vitality permanently]
Draziel inhaled deeply in relief. Luckily he only needed to eat to replenish his vitality. He was only worried how much vitality it would use up to activate the shield.
He then turned his gaze towards the Nexus and it expanded.
[Nexus: Contains dense amounts of energy. Can also be used as a form of currency]
Draziel only thought for a second before placing the 100 Nexus Card into his bag. The cards were half the size of a normal dollar bill but we're thicker. They seem to contain a few diagrams in them but Draziel couldn't make head or tail of what they represent.
Sadly, he didn't receive any loot from the other zombies.
Draziel continued downwards meeting two zombies. The two zombies immediately growled and leapt at him simultaneously.
Draziel knocked the first one backwards while he evaded to the side, avoiding the last zombies' lunge, he slashed his axe at the back of its skull, fracturing it into multiple pieces.
The zombie that has been kicked backwards growled as it recovered its footing. Rushing forwards, it was immediately sent backwards by Draziel's axe.
Draziel withdrew his combat knife and went ahead to finish the two zombies he had taken care of with the axe.
While the axe was sharp, it sometimes only damaged their brains enough to incapacitate them, he does the final killing with his combat knives.
He had only just taken care of five other zombies when the corpses of the dead started twitching and another five zombies came rushing at him. Draziel bent down immediately and circled back, making the zombies lose sight of him.
"Raaaugh! "
They snarled aimlessly at the air and stood where he was previously.
"Bang!"
The fire axe struck against the first zombie's skull sending it flying backwards.
"Boom!"
Draziel kicked at the second zombie, temporarily incapacitating it.
"Whoosh!"
He dodged the swipe of the next zombie, kicking the back of its legs as it knelt to the ground and driving his knife into its skull.
"Tong!"
His left hand released a sound similar to guitar strings as the sharp rod in his palm flew forwards, piercing through the eyes of the fourth zombie and into its skull.
The last zombie took the opportunity to claw at Draziel's shoulder. Sensing the danger, Draziel fell to the side, closely dodging the swipe.
With his hands on the ground and his legs in air, he exerted strength and twisted his waist.
With a bam sound, he kicked forcefully at the neck of the zombie, instantly fracturing the spinal cord.
His right leg kicked at the zombie's body and his own body rolled backwards in the process.
The second zombie he had kicked backwards previously jumped at him.
But Draziel had already stumbled backwards. The zombie slumped to the ground. And Draziel wasted no time stomping the zombie's skull repeatedly until it was completely dead with its brain squashed to the ground like a watermelon.
Grabbing his knife, he stabbed his knife straight at the zombie who was still struggling to stand up, driving his blade into its fractured skull.
"It's been so long." Although this wasn't as satisfactory as when he killed people, there was this slight thrill he got from their death.
This place was finally free of zombies, at least this part of the second floor. Cleaning his blade and the axe with the corpse's clothes, he saw that one of them was a guard, Draziel flipped its body over and was disappointed.
The guard only had a Taser Gun within its holster. Draziel threw it aside since it was useless to him but he grabbed the remote car key hanging from its waist.
He noticed his notification was blinking red in a specific pattern.
[Twenty-one new notifications.]
"Open Notifications." Draziel said, storing the car key in his pocket.
[You eliminated a zombie]
[You eliminated a zombie]
[You eliminated a zombie] ...
[DecaKill (×2) 0.20 Evolution points extracted ] * New *
Draziel was about to dismiss the notifications when he spotted the last notification.
'DecaKill?' His sight lingered on the notification and it immediately expanded.
[DecaKill: Eliminating ten opponents of the same level within the span of five seconds produces massive amount of energy for a short period of time, extracting even more Evolution points from the kills.]
Draziel immediately started thinking. The first Decakill should have activated when he killed those zombies on the stairs and the second one should be now, he had eliminated the thirteen zombies within this part of the floor in a short period of time, activating the second Decakill.
