Chapter 38 - Lust

As he walked to the next room, Zombie King remarked that his love could not be dead.

Old Man Blacksmith muttered that he could ask the same thing about him.

Zombie King stopped and asked what he meant.

Old Man Blacksmith replied that he pondered on his brother's motives, and he had one question. Why? He demanded to know why he did this to his family.

Zombie King scoffed and answered that Old Man Blacksmith already knew, for he wanted the love of his life to never leave him again. He exclaimed that he loved her and always will. As he teared up, he continued that he couldn't bear not having her by his side.

Old Man Blacksmith walked to the box that General Bobby left behind. He apologized for not being there for him as it seemed that he never got over her death. He asked who was responsible for the declaration of war against the humans.

Zombie King explained that he would do anything his love wanted him to do as long as they were always together. He glanced at the box at the other side of the room.

Old Man Blacksmith opened the box.

Zombie King narrowed his eyes and inquired what was inside. He insisted that whatever it was, it was no use, and he was the king of the zombies, now. He continued that unlike him, Old Man Blacksmith was old and crippled.

After he opened the box, Old Man Blacksmith turned around and revealed that it was his lifelong works. He continued that his age did not affect the limitations of his craft. He tightly held his glowing sword.

Multiple elemental weapons flew out of the box. Axes, swords, lances, bows, guns, and other various weapons flew out. They floated in the air and reached the ceiling.

Zombie King was shocked, and he demanded to know when his twin brother learnt such a feat.

Old Man Blacksmith replied that it did not matter, for it was the end of the line for him. He pointed his sword at Zombie King and declared that it would be his most courageous and powerful attack. He launched and fired the weapons towards Zombie King.

Zombie King braced himself.

An expanding cloud of smoke covered the area.

After a while, Zombie King was damaged tremendously. Out of the smoke, he rampantly limped towards Old Man Blacksmith. He exclaimed that he would kill his brother.

Old Man Blacksmith asserted that his brother was blinded by love. He attacked him with his weapons.

As pieces of him were obliterated, Zombie King screamed that he would not perish without seeing his love again.

Old Man Blacksmith backed away and did not stop his onslaught. He reminded that his wife was dead. He claimed that whoever the queen of the zombies was, she was not the same woman that he married.

Zombie King denied it. In a final attempt, he charged towards his brother. Pieces of his body disintegrated with each blow.

Old Man Blacksmith planned to exhaust his regeneration. However, his back touched the wall. He had to end Zombie King before he reached him.

In front of him, Zombie King ferociously crawled out of the smoke. His limbs were missing, and his body was disfigured.

Old Man Blacksmith braced himself and gritted his teeth. He muttered that he really didn't want to give up on his other half, on his twin brother. He yelled that it was a shame.

A cloud of smoke enveloped both of them.

Who would be the victor of such a final standoff?
