I Became A Womanizer After The Apocalypse

Malam's glaive

It was in the middle of the nightfall and Jaffery stood lonely in this dark night. Malam the fortune-teller could be seen at a very much behind him. Malam was trying to communicate something to Jaffery by hollering his words but Jaffery was not even in the earth realm right now because when one squinted at his face closely, they would see that his eyes had turned more dark, it was just the flashing of lightning that kept his dark eyes glistening from time to time. This lighting and thunderstorms that kept reverberating in the entire city just made it hard for Malam to get Jaffery's attention. 

Malam had thus decided, there was no escape anymore. The upcoming hordes of corrupted beasts was utterly overwhelming and if one allowed fear to grip their hearts, then they would not even have the will to run from them let alone fighting against them, their bodies would be drained of energy naturally because of fear and they would be easy targets for these corrupted beasts.

So, instead of running away, Malam had decided to help Jaffery to hold the horde of these corrupted beasts, it was not that Malam was a simpleton, it was just that Malam was cultured and he knew that he would not die and so do Jaffery, it was just that Jaffery needed to unlock something within him so that he could win this war or else, he would definitely go to the nether. What Malam needed to do right now was to urge Jaffery to ulock this quality that would enable him to survive this.

"Be still and don't move... It would be even better if you play dead just like her." Malam said to his house maid while pointing at the frail woman who was still lying lazily at the front passenger seat, not caring what was happening in the background.

"Who is playing dead here? You should learn how you talk to the ladies. I am acting cute here." The frail woman whom Jaffery thought that she had fainted answer Malam with her lips curled up disdainfully.

"Oooh!" Malam caressed his chin a little before he took a glance at the incoming horde and then he said, "well." 

Bang!

Malam banged the door of the range rover, leaving the ladies inside.

"If you want to know why this father is alive up until this juncture, then come and test me!" Malam said as if talking a long lost friend rather that talking to himself.

"I have kept you in the dark for a long time, it's about time that you show your face to the world." Malam got out his weapon which was even more domineering than that of Jaffery. His weapon had a red blade, scarbbard and a handle. This weapon gaved to him by the Eminence was just meant for him because of how he liked to wear red clothes. The weapon itself had a 1m blade and a 2 m handle. It was a versatile weapon that could be used to stab like a spear or to cut, just as versatile as the sword.

"The glave." Malam uttered while caressing the cutting edges of his weapon. The weapon was so sharp in that just a mere intentional touch managed to wound Malam's middle finger but he didn't flinch as he continued to caress the weapon, thus allowing even more of his own blood to soak the blade.

On the other hand, Jaffery who was still in the spirit realm finally came back.

"Just as I thought, it's fucking simple. These things are not as fearful as I thought earlier. They are just a representative of the main thing. If I fear their shadows, then I will never ever get near the real thing because of my own in built fear."

"I have to do something that will ensure that I keep my life while getting more from this fight. I hope Malam has taken that woman that I left in the car, they should be far away by now. I just have to hold these beasts for some time and then escape and as for the worms inside me, I have something that will definitely eliminate them." Jaffery was all smiles, that was until he cupped his hand before his face and the rain water quickly filled up his cupped palm, even the excess rain water spilled out of his palm. 

"This just makes things even more shitty. It's damn raining." Jaffery then drank the rain water that he had collected and turned his head aside. What he saw nearly made his own heart to leap out of his chest. 

A smiling Malam was beside him, he was totally drenched in the rain but he didn't care about it. His red gown which was wholly drenched spread on the ground which further gaved him an indomitable existance, because of his western origins, his long blonde hair which had now even covered his face had stuck completely on his face, water dripped down from his hair towards his chest and back. Malam himself was squatted on the ground and this was why Jaffery didn't saw him previously.

Presently, Malam was chanting a mantra that Jaffery didn't knew of and his glaive could be seen stabbed in front of himself, this glaive was basically Malam's weapon. One should also know that even though the ground of the hospital was all bricks and tarmacked, the weapons gaved to them by the Eminence was so strong in that they could split through rocks effortlessly 廿 and that was why Malam's glaive was easily stabbed on the ground. It was just that these weapons might sometimes be useless against high level beasts because those beasts had evolved their bodies, bones and hides tremendously so, one had to stab them at their weak spots. However, if one wanted to cut these beasts cleanly and effortlessly with their weapons, they had to have the strength to back them or to have an advanced weapon.

"If Malam is here, this means that he had not taken the ladies out of the area of attack. This is too bad. We can not lose those ladies, no, I can not allow that beautiful frail woman to be ripped apart by these corrupted beasts. That will be a waste of a beautiful lady. I can not allow that. What can I do? This is all Malam's fault, I told him to escape but he decided to do the opposite again." Jaffery found himself scolding the squatted Malam who simply continued with his chanting. Malam had come to help him but what was in Jaffery's mind was the welfare of the ladies. Jaffery took a quick glance at where the car was and he hesitated if he should go back but whith his already consumed body, he knew that he would never reach close to the car before he got ripped apart by the corrupted beasts. 

"I will just fight the beasts here since they have already reached here. I hope that car can hold the beasts back for some time."

 Anyway, the flickering lights in the entire hospital just added to its forlorn appearance, there was no moon even if it was the month of December, this was because the sky had been covered by thick rainy clouds and it was raining heavily, but this didn't stop the confrontation between a man and countless corrupted beasts which were overly hungry and each one of them wanted to be the first one to get a piece of the people who had come to great them.

"It's about time." Jaffery uttered.
