Hospital Building
Time Unknown (Late Evening)
With your body encased in armor, a new power quickly rises from within you. Your mind does not process it. Your body does not realize it. But threw this materialization of a small miracle, you gain so much strength that you are able to lift the undead creature clear over your head with ease. Wishing simply to protect your friend, you hurl the flailing body further than humanly possible and send it flying over towards two of the other creatures.
The first to feel the force of your display is the one at the base of the stairs; its whole upper body getting caught by the hapless form. The next is the ghoul pushing itself off of the floor next to Keigo. All three of the decomposing foes collide and crash on the ground with a single, harmonized, fleshy sound.

Two of the bodies fall apart with one semi-dead monster still clawing around. The weight of its brethren however restrict its movement and it can't seem to get up the strength to free itself. Almost as if realizing this, the ghoulish creature begins to struggle more.
Your weapon of choice stabs down and the nuisance chewing away at your ankle. Your confident that you can't miss in attacking something so slow; however, you decide now is as good a time as ever to deal with this particular enemy. And sure enough, having used up all of its energy in its last attack, the creature is easy prey for you. Your spear breaks away the rotten muscle, lodges itself between the brittle vertebrae, and decapitates the creature all in one go.

Sticking to the same strategy as before, you aim for the creature's legs once again and hope that this time will yield better results. Being the only one fast enough to even land a hit on the creature, it's up to you to cripple it to the point where the rest of the team can damage. Otherwise, you realize that you have a long and arduous battle ahead of you. The only question is whether or not the enemy will give in first or the building...
Precision CheckSpoiler:
But as fate would have it, your luck comes up bad once again as the giant insectoid perceives your attack and avoids fatal injury once more. Gritting your teeth at the tenacity of your opponent, you do the same as before and simply adjust the angle of your attack. You may have failed in crippling the target, but you can still hit it. What's more, your weapon this time is 'special' and you can feel power flowing from it as you swing at its body.
Beelzebub suffers 16 damage.Spoiler:
The monster lets out pained cry so loud it threatens to bring the weakened structure down on top you. With your weapon easily breaking through the exoskeleton and buggy flesh of the beast, more of the acidic puss from before jets out from the wound and lands on your stomach as you draw back.
Akira suffers 4 damage.
Having already been struck twice, the insect looks at you with rage in every single one of its eyes. While it has managed to avoid serious injury until this point, you can tell that it isn't exactly pleased with your attempts. But you can feel that you are pushing it into a corner. You have landed 2 solid attacks and you have done serious damage on both occasions. The beast is slowly being worn down and you feel that soon it will fall. But you know from experience that such only means it's starting to get desperate.
Readying your weapon once again, you begin to move in to deliver the final blow. However, as you do, the creature lets out a furious cry as a set of miserable wings erupt from its back. Seeing this development, you quickly hault, but not before the enemy moves in on you. You raise your weapon to guard, but the long, mantis-like leg extending from its back flails and bends in a violent, unpredictable manner. Unable to perceive where the attack is coming from, you can only guard your head as a force nails you in the side and sends you flying to the bottom of the stairs.
Precision CheckBattle CalculationSpoiler:Akira suffers 17 damage.Spoiler:
With its oppressor pushed back, the fly-like creature lets out a lesser cry and quickly lifts itself off of the ground with its wings. Soon after, it zips away through the hole leading outside. While the muffled buzzing of its wings resounds loudly at first, it soon dies down and becomes nonexistent.
It would seem that you have driven off the pest. However, you're sure it's not the last time you'll be seeing it. Your gut tells you so.
