(Kyosei’s View)

With the trucks trying to bypass the Juggernaut, it was getting harder for the remaining trucks to dodge it after it tried to smash the first few tracks that managed to pass them. Therefore, the only thing that the remaining trucks can do is to shoot the Juggernaut with guns. Even though it is not enough to penetrate the body of the Juggernaut, it is enough to stall the big one from attacking them as it will try to stop the bullets from hitting.

There were no more Decapitators attacking and only the undead were left alongside the lone Juggernaut. As the Juggernaut tried to smash one truck, one of the trucks would purposely crash on the side of the Juggernaut to shift it’s attention to the crashing truck, allowing the other truck to pass.

As soon as our truck was the next one, the soldiers inside gulped. I can see in their faces the nervousness they feel on this one and I think the driver is also under severe stress as he is the one handling all the safety of the passengers. As for me, I don’t feel anything. In fact, this is casual happening.

The Juggernaut might be a big nutcracking monster but that doesn’t mean it is undying. Since I have experienced more troublesome sh*t than this, I don’t think it is enough to sway me hard.

As our truck is the one going to do the bait, I made sure that I am calm and composed. Unless the driver will panic, I will try my best to keep the truck on the road and keep the soldiers safe.

Just as our truck was about to crash to the side of the Juggernaut, it already shifted it’s attention to us.

”F*ck! The Juggernaut is looking this way!” the driver screamed. I can feel in his voice that he is trembling.

I slammed the roof of the truck hard enough for the driver to hear and shouted to him. ”Keep your mind intact, you will get us killed if you keep panicking!”

”But the Juggernaut is about to kill us!”

I facepalmed and groaned. Oh well, what can I do? I have to step in. Without hesitation, I climbed up the roof of the truck. The soldiers panicked on what I was about to do.

”Kyosei! What the hell are you doing?!”

”Focus on the road, stop focusing on me! Dumbasses!” I cursed.

I prepared the Grappling Hook and ready everything. Just around the place where the Juggernaut was standing was a lamp post of sodium light where the traffic light was also attached. I may have not tried this before but I will use the same method I did when I was fighting the Juggernaut version of Kaze. When we are almost on the reach of the Juggernaut, I shoot the grappling hook to the lamp post and retracted the rope as soon as the hook attached itself firmly into the lamp post. Before the truck can arrive at the Juggernaut, I already move forward by swinging like Tarzan to the Juggernaut.

The Juggernaut noticed me and roared as it tried to grab me. However, I am not someone that will allow a bag piece of rotting monster to touch me. I quickly controlled how I swing using the rope of the hook, kicking the hand of the Juggernaut that was about to grab me. I was quick enough and allowed me to move to its blindspot. As soon as I managed to get into the back spot of the Juggernaut, I retracted the hook, and grab the collar of the Juggernaut to cling.

The Juggernaut tried to grab me but I pull out the Wakizashi and sliced up the incoming hands of the Juggernaut. Due to the sharpness of the Wakizashi blade, it didn’t even have much problem ripping off a few fingers of the Juggernaut. As the Juggernaut screamed in pain, I grab my last grenade, pulled the pin and throw the pinless grenade to the mouth of the Juggernaut.

As soon as I did that, I jumped off from the Juggernaut and run forward and tries to catch up to the truck. The good thing is that the truck did wait for me. Before I can ride the truck, the head of the Juggernaut explodes which is due to the grenade that I shoved to the Juggernaut’s mouth.

The shockwave was strong and I can feel the heat released by the Juggernaut’s head explode but I have no time to enjoy the death of the monster. That was just the first Juggernaut we saw on the road and that doesn’t mean we won’t meet another big one. What can I say, the night is still young and the troublesome undead are just unstoppable?

I managed to return on the truck and the soldiers helped me get inside. They were clapping their hands in amazement.

”That was an incredible performance! Although that was a suicidal act, it was like a part of a movie!”

Many of them started praising me while some scolded me for doing something dangerous though it was clear they are worried. Normally, people would feel proud and happy to get commended, however, in my case, that is not something worth celebrating. A minor kill like that is not something I should be celebrating. Our focus would be to survive until dawn and fight back.

It was a troublesome act but that didn’t really put me in a bad way. I sighed and closed my eyes while I listen to the music on my headphones. This is too troublesome, I need some time to relax. With the trucks continue to move on the road, I decided to close my eyes. But I also heightened my alertness. And if the problems persist, I will not hesitate to eliminate them. 

The undead were still present on the road but unlike earlier, the road is much easier to venture off and it was not as bad as it was like since the undead are able to be killed by the trucks just by grazing them. Trouble is still brewing with the undead still occupying a few parts of the roads and I am sure a few more mutated are waiting. Well, this is just the beginning of the Night Rage. If I do say myself, we are just starting and our win is just a minor one. The trouble is still underway...
