Yukiro took a moment to balance himself with his sword. It was a difficult but necessary task. On second thought, maybe he could try something new. Yukiro dragged the blade along e the ground as he ran towards the zombie. As he got close he saw the zombie's health bar dropping due to the effects of bleed. Using all his strength, Yukiro brought his sword from the ground, using the ground as a sheath to increase his sword's speed, and raised it in a vertical, arcing stroke that cleaved its way straight through the zombie. This zombie also let out some gurgling noises, along with some backward stumbling, before glowing for a moment and finally shattering. The pieces dissipated after a moment, leaving nothing where the zombie once stood and fought.
No time to rest. He needed more kills, needed to take more damage. No breaks yet. On to the next walking corpse.

Bleed turn 1
1/15 Crit Eva | 1/25 Crit Fails | 16 Restored health | 3 zombies killed

Yukiro glanced around, looking for a new target. Another zombie was wandering a little ways off. That would be his new target.
He tried to lift his sword while he moved towards his chosen adversary but found himself tipping back, so he decided that he would just drag it along again. As he got closer to the zombie he noticed that he was also getting closer to the exit for the tent. It probably wasn't an important detail, but it was certainly a distinguishing landmark that gave him more of a bearing on his position.
As Yukiro arrived at the place where he'd fight the new zombie he used his new technique; he sped up, then stopped. The heavy sword's momentum didn't stop, which made it start swinging for an attack by itself. 
Science!
Yukiro cleaved through the zombie before it even had a chance to react to his approach. A small icon appeared next to the zombie's health bar.

1/15 Crit Eva | 1/25 Crit Fails | 16 Restored health | 3 zombies killed

The sword's swing did not stop. It pulled Yukiro towards the zombie, which was now very aware of his being there. The walking dead's limbs, more specifically, its arms, flailed a bit, swiping Yukiro's forearm. The zombie gave what sounded like a nearly silent shrill cry. Its health was dropping very fast, faster than bleed alone would have been doing. 
Thorns and bleeding must both be active. That is very good. If this keeps up, I can complete this event even faster than I'd hoped. 
Yukiro went past the zombie with a fair amount of speed. He needed to take more damage. If he could manage enough, he could restore a ton all at once using the Spider Cider. That would be very good, as he needed to restore a lot anyway. And he needed to use some consumables, so using the Spider Cider to recover was even more preferable. 
Things just might work out in Yukiro's favor this time around.

If Yukiro was going to drink any healing Spider Cider, he was going to need some distance between him and his lumbering foe. He used the momentum of his heavy sword to retreat a fair distance, letting it pull him along. Once he realized his sword was beginning to slow down he devised a way to make it drag him further along. He twisted and spun around, bringing the sword around into a downward swing away from the zombie, which helped pull him even further from the lumbering zombie. 
He only had a little time. He opened his inventory and from it summoned one of his Spider Cider. He opened it and downed the bottle in one go of it. 
Yukiro imagined that he looked vaguely like he was in a soda commercial.
Once he finished Yukiro tossed the empty can aside. It shattered moments after hitting the floor. His HP bar began to rapidly fill up until it was completely full.

Yukiro had a little time to wait before the walking corpse in front of him was within reach of his sword. He used the time to simply breath, not bothering to think. Nothing to really think about. All that had to happen was for him to swing his sword and parry a blow with his vambraces. 
Simple.
The zombie finally got within range of his sword. Yukiro lifted it behind him, leaning forward heavily to counteract the balance of his large weapon. He felt like Micheal Jackson performing the lean. Putting one foot on the ground ahead of him and leaning even further forwards, Yukiro raised his sword and brought over his head in a downward, sweeping strike. The zombie stumbled to one side, causing Yukiro's blow to miss. 
When the undead lashed out at Yukiro, however, he managed to block the attack with his right bracer. Thorns worked their magic, and the zombie's health dropped again.

Yukiro was starting to feel the repetition of these combat sessions getting to him. Figuring that there was no harm in trying, he decided to use a technique he hadn't used in a while. 
The zombie lurched closer and closer to him. Yukiro waited for it to get well within striking distance. Then, when the zombie had stumbled close enough for it to reach Yukiro, Yukiro dropped into a crouch. He twisted sideways and kicked upwards, striking the undead's chin. With that blow said and done, Yukiro gripped his sword and brought it around his body in a wide, sweeping attack the sliced just above the zombie's hips. The monster's health dropped down until there was barely anything left in it. 
Then a small red icon appeared by the zombie's health bar. And the last of it's HP drained away.
With yet another zombie down, Yukiro headed off in search of another opponent.

Yukiro began to scan the area for a new target. He spotted a zombie a little ways off, lurching in some random direction. Dragging hos sword behind him Yukiro made his way towards the new prey. Once he got within five meters of the zombie he noticed that there were several parties of players fighting nearby. He'd have to be careful not to hit any of them. He'd also have to be careful not to get hit. Both were very possible.
He'd just have to keep his distance.
Yukiro decided to start his swing early enough that it wouldn't run the risk of colliding with another player. Of course, since his attack became rushed, he ended up missing his target badly. Yukiro made sure to lean backward so the sword didn't simply fly into a player. The zombie tried to swipe at him but missed because of Yukiro's relatively sudden stop. 
This was a nightmare situation. A big, clumsy sword and a tight, risky space.

Yukiro started to edge away from the cramped space, leading the zombie and the fight out of the cluster of fighting players. He dragged the sword, making sparks jump off of the ground around the blade. 
Further, further, just a little more. He needed a big open space where he could fight with no need to worry about other parties. Finally, after nearly two minutes of leading the zombie away from the horde of players, Yukiro was in a big enough space to swing his sword and, therefore, fight. 
He strained to lift his sword so that the tip of the sword pointed at the zombie's chest. Once it did Yukiro stepped forward and pushed his blade into the chest of the oncoming foe. The zombie hardly seemed to feel it, and it's HP bar barely reduced at all. 
And it was still coming forward. 
Yukiro's sword was stuck.
He had to think of something or he'd be unable to attack.

Yukiro took a deep breath in. He had a feeling this one would be particularly hardy. Which was a major annoyance to Yukiro. He took a big step back as he heaved his sword over his shoulder and into the zombie's collarbone. The heavy blade cleaved down into the zombie's body and traveled all the way through. The zombie stumbled back and fell over from the force. 
Despite the overly dramatic reaction to the hit, the walking corpse's health bar barely budged. Yukiro was only just beginning to be able to see some health missing. What a massive pain this one was. What a problem child.
Yukiro dragged his sword back and away from the undead. He could only pray that some things would go right and help him defeat this annoyance. 
A slight bad feeling began to tug at his mind. He ignored it. It was probably just leftover nerves from his previous fight.

Yukiro was starting to feel more and more on edge. He couldn't figure out why. There was nothing particularly dangerous or unsettling about this specific fight. His previous fight had been offsetting, but it wouldn't be lingering on his mind this much. 
What was he forgetting? What was going wrong?
The zombie moved to make an attack. Yukiro lightly moved away from the walking dead man, not wanting to be overly bothered while he thought. 
There's something that I needed to take care of... What am I forgetting? Is there someone in danger? No, I don't know anybody here. What is it?
Making a frustrated upward slash, Yukiro wanted to let out a cry of frustration. He contained it, as was his nature, but something was bothering him and he wanted to know what it was. 
The zombie was fairly close. Perhaps fighting would help him remember. His instincts were telling him to go and find something. 
But what?

Yukiro was upset. Angry. What was this feeling for? Was his emotional self just breaking down? No, he'd eaten well before he came. Was he tired? No, he'd slept pretty well, albeit in a small smithy in the corner of town. So it must have some reason for being there. 
But what exactly is it!?
In pure frustration, Yukiro made a downward cleave with his sword. He hadn't bothered to aim, and his sword hit the ground with force. The reverb went up the blade and into the hilt of the sword before redirecting itself up Yukiro's arms and into his very core. Everything felt like it was vibrating.
While Yukiro was partially stunned the zombie stumbled forward, reaching Yukiro before he'd fully recovered. The undead's claws raked Yukiro's side, leaving long red streaks along Yukiro's body. Yukiro reacted by moving away from the zombie as fast as he could, nearly tripping in the process. He turned to face the odd being and readied himself, lifting his hefty sword and balancing it on his shoulder.

Yukiro began to tilt back. His sword, which he had balanced on his shoulder, was not light enough nor was it built in such a way that it could be balanced on a shoulder. He stumbled and fell away from the zombie. 
This seemed to keep happening. 
Why was he forgetting that he was holding a mammoth of a sword so easily?
Nobody ever found out.
The zombie did not care why Yukiro was so forgetful when it came to the weight of the object in his hand. The zombie just wanted one thing; it wanted to scratch the one with the sword. It charged forward in it's most speedy lumber and managed to scratch Yukiro just above the knee before getting reflex-kicked in the jaw. 

Yukiro was beginning to think that this bad feeling was a warning of some sort. What was happening that he needed to be aware of? And what was it that was so important that his very instincts had picked up on it as an important topic?
What was happening?

Yukiro decided to begin to pay more attention to his surroundings. Maybe he could figure out what was eating away at his emotions while he fought. 
The zombie took a swipe at Yukiro, but it was too far away to pose even the slightest of threats. Yukiro glanced around. Nobody seemed to be in a particularly bad situation. Nobody he could see was in mortal danger, as far as he could tell. There were zombies everywhere, but there had been since before he'd gotten there.
What had changed?
He took a half focused swing at the zombie. The heavy sword sliced through its head, in one side and out the other. It didn't even flinch. This one was, as he'd predicted, quite the problem child. Taking a few steps back as his sword swung around him Yukiro tried to refocus his thoughts on the fight at hand. Though he couldn't quite shake the feeling that something bad was happening.

Yukiro took a moment to steady himself. The zombie stumbled slowly towards him. Yukiro was a little off-balance, but he was also getting impatient with this fight. Taking a clumsy step forward Yukiro swung his sword. It dragged him further forward than he'd anticipated, forcing him to move right up close to the zombie. 
Certainly an unpleasant situation at best. The smell alone was suffocating. 
The walking corpse took advantage of Yukiro's prone position, swiping at his face and neck. Yukiro used his vambraces to block and counter the blows. Thorns worked it's magic, making the zombie's health go down. 
Perfect.
Yukiro pulled himself forward using the weight and momentum of the sword. After he was sure he was far enough he took a moment to let the weapon slow down. Once it finally did he heaved it around his body as he turned to face the zombie.
What an appropriate event for Halloween. It was a nightmare to kill these things.

Yukiro took a few more moments to balance himself. Slowly he regained his full balance. He turned to face the zombie yet again, staring down at the stumbling corpse as it made its way towards him. It's stumbling jaunt was slow, but it certainly covered ground faster than anticipated.
Wait. This felt familiar. Had this happened before? Was it just him? No, this had definitely happened before. These combats were getting a little too repetitive. Yukiro could almost foresee what was going to happen as the zombie stumbled towards him.
Seriously, he could. Watch!
The zombie was probably going to cover the distance before Yukiro realized.
The zombie got much closer to Yukiro than he thought it would. 
Yukiro would make a hasty swing and miss.
The zombie would claw him, but he'd block it with his arm and thorns would damage the zombie. 
It all happened as he predicted.
Once he got far enough away from the zombie's onslaught, Yukiro summoned and drank a bottle of Spider Cider. His health filled up rapidly.

Yukiro stepped back and away from the zombie. It was becoming quite a pain to deal with. Bleed wasn't activating, and thorns was rarely even getting the chance to deal damage. This zombie was going to be the end of his sanity, he could feel it. His frustration was growing. 
The fact that he was running out of time to finish his bingo book was also concerning him. Would he even be able to accomplish what he'd set out to do? Yukiro wasn't sure anymore. 
But what bothered him most was the slight sense of foreboding that was in the back of his mind. It was eating away at his focus, making him more reckless. And that scared him.
The zombie lurched at him. Yukiro made a somewhat panicked swing, the force of the weighty sword pulling him back. The weapon crashed into the undead's head, cleaving through an leaving a bright red line across the center of it's face. A small red icon appeared next to it's health bar
Bleed! Yes!

Yukiro was dragged forwards by his sword's momentum. The weighty blade felt like pure lead in his hands. He had to stumble a little over a meter before he could manage to come to a stop. 
Seriously, he was never gonna manage to sell this thing. 
Yukiro was forced to take a few moments to regain his balance and prepare to lift the weighty sword. Turning back to the stumbling corpse he was facing, Yukiro saw that its health was steadily decreasing. This was his chance! To finally finish off his undead opponent! Yukiro took a big step forward and leaned heavily on his front leg. Pushing his body forwards and swinging the blade around himself he cleaved into the zombie's shoulder. The large sword passed through its body in a downward slope. The zombie, however, wasn't done. It flung itself forwards and made a final claw on Yukiro's chest. 
After all of that, the zombie shattered and dissipated. 
Now that he was free of that distraction Yukiro was free to figure out what was causing his warning instinct to go off.

2/15 Crit Eva | 2/25 Crit Fails | 5 zombies killed | 3/13 Consumables used | 120 HP restored in a thread! | 150 HP Restored (self)!

Yukiro glanced around. Nothing to see. Outside of the combat that was taking place everywhere. But that was pretty commonplace here. 
So what was...
Yukiro figured it out almost immediately. Whipping around he saw two zombies stumbling towards him, and they were far closer than what would be comfortable. In fact, they were practically on top of him. 
How had he not noticed this? Good question. A question we may never learn the answer to. 
Yukiro reacted automatically. His body raised his sword and moved to jump back. His sword, however, had different ideas. He'd accidentally triggered an unfamiliar sword art. His weapon glowed for a moment, then rushed in a horizontal stroke. Yukiro, who was trying to drag the sword away from the zombies caused the swing to miss horribly. The weapon tried to swipe the other way, which Yukiro mistakenly made miss yet again. 
I hate sword arts. 
One of the zombies lunged forwards and clawed at Yukiro's chest. Taking this as an opportunity, Yukiro dragged his hefty sword away from the onslaught of arms. Once more he pulled out a Spider Cider and downed the entire bottle. 
The HP restoration was  done!

Yukiro dragged himself away from the fight as fast as he could. He needed some distance. Lots of it. He didn't stop until he was nearly five meters away from the walking corpses. Opeining his menu with all the hand flicking speed he possessed and equipped his Nightmare Overcoat. As the long coat appeared around him the cold air immediately seemed to warm up. But he wasn't done yet. Moving further away as he flipped through the menu Yukiro summoned from his inventory the small bag of popcorn and the funnel cake he'd bought earlier. He stopped to quickly devour the food items, seeming more to inhale then than he did to actually eat. 
Just as Yukiro finished with the consumables the zombies caught up with him. One of the undead reached out, both of it's hands raking down Yukiro's back. 

His health bar didn't even budge. 

Grinning, Yukiro easily sidestepped the second zombie's attack. Stooping to pick up his sword he gave a confident glare in the zombie's direction. 
Time to get started.

Yukiro hefted the massive sword over his shoulder. He was feeling stronger already. These shambling corpses were going to be nothing more than two more than targets for unleashing his built-up rage. 
Leaping forward and raising his unbalanced greatsword high above his head Yukiro charged the zombies. A familiar sound indicated the beginning of a sword art. His sword began to glow an unfamiliar color. 
This is that one from earlier..!
Yukiro quickly adjusted his arms' positions, readying a different kind of attack than he had planned originally. Planting his right foot far in front of him Yukiro turned his body to the left, hovering his sword just above the left shoulder. As he ground to a stop he swung his sword in a powerful, downward-diagonal stroke, cleaving straight through both zombies. A small red icon appeared next to one's HP bar, signaling the bleed condition's activation. Yukiro didn't stop there. He gripped the sword's long hilt with both hands and brought it back around him in a sweeping followup attack. His blade again ripped through both of its targets. The zombies lunged toward Yukiro as his sword moved away from his front. Letting go of the sword with his right arm he made a wild swing, bashing the zombie's arms with his vambrace. Their HP dropped even further.
