A small horde of Zombies gathered around the pastry shop. Their lifeless eyes fixed menacingly on the passage from which Ivan had emerged. Ivan halted, briefly surveying the grim scene as he contemplated how to handle the situation. He wasted no more than five seconds to think before he sprang into decisive action.
The zombies surged towards the gaping window. Ivan repelled the encroaching monsters from entering the shop with a powerful, targeted strike aimed at a single monster. The forceful impact propelled the other creatures surrounding the target away from the window. The target monster was reduced to a grotesque, pulpy, bloody mass.
Granting the encroaching monsters no moment of respite, Ivan chopped off the heads, torsos, and legs of any unfortunate creature in his relentless path. His speed, agility, and sheer strength were sufficient to handle this initial batch of monsters; his sword wasn't necessary.
