Mike was no track star, so running circles around it in just a few seconds was not something he could do. Still with his new found DEX of 10 he could still get in its waking path, which for how far it bunted Lucian away, which was ten yards, the waking path from it to Lucian, for the zombie, was one step. When the beast suddenly saw the small, chittering human running in front of it the beast looked down and instead of walking towards Lucian, raised its already raised foot that it was using to walk with over Mike as Mike ran into its path, the beast attempting to squash Mike down into the ground by stepping on it rather than what it did with Lucian, which was kick him. --- Mass Zombie Free Stomp: 38 Hit! Damage Dealt: 88 --- Mike barely managed to dodge in time, or more accurately barely missed dodging. As he would attempt to run out of the way of the stomp he suddenly found an incredibly heavy and immense pressure pounding on his entire body. This heavy weight seemed to stomp him right down into the ground, but under a part of its gigantic foot that wouldn't be as fatal as Mike managed to avoid the brute of the powerful stomp. Still it hurt, like hell. Mike's own toughness thanks to Physical Endurance and his Vit managed to spare him some of the attack, but to say it hurt was an understatement. If Lucian was in alot of pain, then Mike was in twice as much, the pain incredibly powerful as Mike was in a small, foot shaped crater now as he was crushed onto the ground by the Zombie's stomp, which wasn't as strong as it could have been since it was also doing it in a walking motion, that probably having saved Mike's life right there as he was down in the red, this attack dealing more damage to him than Keiichi did. Still, this moment would spare Lucian a little more time to get up as the beast rose its foot off of Mike after stomping him, its attention still on the original person that aggravated it, but its attention was also now on Mike as well as it was trying to decide which target to finish off now, still angrily growling and roaring in pain from both Ren's Flame and Mark assaulting it with fire and searing heat. Ren, in the meantime, was only just a couple of seconds away from finishing, eyes widened as he watched Mike effectively get flattened, but survive with just 18 HP left, thanks to a level up in Physical Endurance. This fight was getting down to the wire now as Ren wanted to kill this thing before it killed Lucian and Mike. If any good came from Mike getting flattened, it would be the level of Physical Endurance he received. Otherwise... --- Mike Endurance: 14 - 15 Vit = -1 --- Mike was not overwhelmed by the pain. Sure it was alot that wouldn't go away until his HP healed, there being incredible amounts as if someone had dropped a truck on him, but somehow he was not overwhelmed to the point where he was unable to act with how much there was.
