RE:BORN Zombie

Chapter 19 Monster Fight

[Dark Poisonous Spider Level 47]

[Giant Forest Snake Level 50]

Victor fixed his eyes on the targets before him, their towering structure sending chills down his spine, or at least that was what it was supposed to be.

Merely thinking of it, Victor couldn’t stop himself from grinning widely, before the expression faded, bringing his face to normal. It seemed that lately, his zombie side had been overshadowing his human soul. It had become quite noticeable just how cold his heart(not the physical one)had become. But, this didn’t bother Victor at all. Not being ruled by his emotions wasn’t all that bad, plus he expected it would happen sooner or later, seeing as he was an undead.

The only thing he would say was the down side, was the fact that he wouldn’t be able to derive joy from killing the adventurers that killed him earlier. Thinking about it now, maybe he wouldn’t kill the next time they meet, that is if they don’t act up by then. He no longer hungered for revenge, not even in the slightest.

‘After I kill these guys, the experience points should be much, right? I wonder how much?’ Victor thought. Well, he would just have to find out himself after killing them.

Apart from the experience points, there was also the matter of evolution material. Things were just good no matter how he looked at it.

Before that though, while the monsters are engaging in their stare down with him, Victor used that opportunity to prepare for the battle. He had no weapons, so the only way was to use his bare hands. Melee combat wouldn’t be very helpful against these types, so he could only rely on his animalistic side. Besides, his extra stat points had been lying there collecting dust, he was going to distribute them later anyway.

“First.”

Victor was confident in his defences and mana capacity, so he paid less attention to does. The body of a zombie lord wasn’t that easy to kill after all.

...

Strength: 85 > 122

Agility: 70 >100

Sense: 54 > 94

Vitality: 48

Magic: 15

Intelligence: 53

remaining stat point: 117 > 10

He had also intended to beat these two monsters with pure physical strength without using his skills, but if they do get affected by his passive skill then that would be unfortunate, at least they should hold out till he has beaten them quite a bit.

“This should do, I can already feel the difference in my own strength.” The moment he added so much points into his strength stat, he could actually feel his body changing in a weird way, he felt like he could crumble a trailer at that moment, same with his other stats.

Just as he was done with his preparations, the serpent lashed out a surprise attack on Victor, as its tail struck the ground where he stood. Fortunately for him, the speed of the snake looked like the monster was moving in slow-motion, he didn’t even need to agitate himself much, as he walked away from where it was striking. “Is this really how a level 50 should be? This is ridiculously slow. Or maybe, it’s a strength type monster, hmm.” Victor said to himself.

To test his theory, he let the snakes next attack land directly on him without attempting to dodge. After missing to hit its target, the snake followed up its attack by sweeping the group before it with its tail. With an incredible speed for anyone watching, the tail propelled with such force sideways towards Victor, and landed square-

The collision with the earth and with Victor caused a bit of dust to rise, but vision wasn’t obstructed for long. When the dust cleared, with was after a couple seconds, Victor could be spotted with his right palm against the serpent’s body, as he blocked the tail.

“Hmm. I’m tougher than I thought, or is this snake just weak. How strong are the levels in this world? And how strong is my level? Do I even use the level system of this world?” Victor questioned himself.

He knew of his strength, but at least this level of attack from a beast of this level should have at the very least send him flying, at least. Victor had barely moved a few inches from the attack, and to say the least, he was a bit disappointed.

“I was going to take my time, but maybe I should just end this quickly.” Victor said, as he pushed the giant tail that stood as tall as himself away.

He jumped towards the towards the snake’s head, as he propelled himself through the air, and in a split second he was already almost close, when he sensed something. Twisting his body in an awkward manner, he flipped himself mid air, and seemed to have dodged something that his eyes couldn’t pick up. As he landed at the snake’s head, he pushed himself off and towards a close by wall. While he did, the spider that had just been watching the show jumped back several metres, and as its legs touched the ground, a stream of purplish-green fluid shot from it towards Victor.

Seeing the incoming liquid which Victor needed no explanation to know was poison, he leapt immediately towards a raised platform on the same side of the wall and avoided the attack. Though, the whole thing wasn’t intense in any way for Victor.

From his perspective, the soaring fluid was like a floating bubble not worthy to be an attack. But, that wasn’t something he wanted on his body if he could help it. There are acids that can easily melt through steel; heck the HCL in a human’s stomach can accomplish the same feat. Testing poison from magical monsters wasn’t exactly something he was going to use himself for. When the fluid touched the rocky surface, it began to melt and liquefy.

Victor ignored that, and stared at the spider. After taking a closer look, he noticed something around the space where the spider was. “Are those webs?.. No way, right?” Victor said, as a thought came to him.

In all fantasy related things where spiders were mentioned, be it manga, anime or novels, there was one thing this particular monster was always said to have. “Steel threads? It has to be. So that’s what I sensed? Hm, not bad.”

At this point, Victor was through with these monsters. There was nothing special they had to offer except for their exp and flesh. He had overestimated his opponent this time. “Let’s end this.” Victor said, as his dark red eyes shone even brighter from afar while he stared at the monsters.

TuumM!!

The cave braced the loud rumble as Victor shot from the platform he was on towards the serpent. These monsters had been completely disappointing, unbefitting of their status, at least, to Victor.

With a spinning mid-air naeryeo chagi(Axe kick) to the serpent’s head, Victor forced a head plant right into the hard ground. If an X-ray could be taken at that moment, it was clear that several bones had either broken or shifted severely out of place. He followed immediately with a falling punch, but at the last minute withdrew his punch. An idea had come to him.

“I wasn’t going to use skills, but guess it can’t be helped. I don’t want your body too damaged.” Victor said, as he placed his palm on the serpent’s head.

“Touch of Death.” Victor said.

Following his words, a black coloured energy enveloped his hand, and then as if it slipped into the serpent’s body, a portion of this energy felt him, then it disappeared.

‘Since the skill level is low, it’s probably able to work since the monster is in a weakened state and already close to death.” Victor said, as he received a system notification.

[Killed Giant Forest Snake]

+60,000exp

..

Level: 20 (0/91,360) > (60,000/91,360)

“Hmm.”

Within a few seconds, Victor was done with the serpent, and moved towards the spider, which he also killed effortlessly.

“Now, I should take just enough, I don’t need too much.” Victor found a favourable spot and dug into the spiders flesh, digging out enough to use as evolution material.

[New sample detected. Analysing sample]

He did the same with to the serpent, and the system prompted a similar message. Now that he had gotten their material, it was time. After dragging their corpse to the same location, Victor stood before them.

Using his thoughts, Victor activated skill, [Legion of the Dead]

[This is the first time this skill is been used. Please, assign a command word]

“…” There was no way he would throw this opportunity.

“Arise.”

[Command word assigned]
