Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three successive strikes struck within a second as the zombie stabbed without proper vision to its victim now that its head was gone.
Its barbaric swings may have lacked precision, but the danger was still there. However, Kratos barely took notice of a threat. His long winded tail lively moved between him and the creature's blades. Sparks were emitted from the powerful clashes, yet, not a scratch was made on Kratos' tail. The zombie on the other hand fared worse, its bladed arms were cracking just from the initial impacts.
Even then, the creature appeared oblivious to its circumstances, its arms still raised, preparing to continue its frenzied behavior.
As its identity as a zombie, Kratos should have been aware that if destroying the head doesn't work, then the next best action would be destroying the core.
