RE:BORN Zombie-Chapter 35 New Form. Fire-Imp II
Quickly, 24 hours past while Victor hid himself in the small room space, and he could revert back to his zombie form once again. He hadn’t achieved what he wanted, but the results he got weren’t bad either. With a thought, Victor began changing back into his zombie form.
[Switching forms into Zombie Lord form]
Victor’s lizard like body started moving in weird and unnatural ways, as he switched forms. His arms and legs elongated, and while other parts of his body also stretched out and new muscle fibers grew, other bones broke and restructured themselves to match his new form which he was transforming to.
The entire process took nothing more than a few seconds, and Victor was back in his zombie form. There was no pain felt, not that he could to begin with, so the process moved along smoothly without discomfort. There was only one small problem though. His only piece of clothing had been ruined.
‘Should have taken it off first. Another thing to note before changing forms.’ Victor made a mental note. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
He walked out of the room-like space, and out into the fire-imp territory. Of course, the special benefit he enjoyed in his fire-imp form was gone, and he was, once again, vulnerable to flames. At that moment, a fire-imp appeared at the scene, and without much calculation, Victor picked up a piece of rock about a handful and tossed it at the imp, killing it instantly. Their skin and physical attributes were just too weak and inferior.
“I also need to level up one of my skill. I might want to add a minotaur to my legion.” Victor said..
Immediately while also walking along the pathway, Victor pulled out the status window and looked at his skill. He then asked the system what it would cost him to level up a particular skill. “System, how much skill is required to level up the skill Legion of the Dead?” Victor asked.
[30 stat points]
The cost was high, but at this point there was nothing Victor could do. Following the system, he traded 30 stat points and instantly levelled up the skill to level two.
Victor wondered what had changed about the skill’s usage now, after he upgraded it. He knew the number slot for legion members would increase, that much was obvious fact and basis. What he wanted to see was if he could now see the detailed information of the members of his legion and not just the level. This would help him better plan and use them well and more effectively.
Victor, using his consciousness expanded the information on the skill he just levelled up.
..
[Legion of the Dead]
Call forth an army of undead to do your bidding.
Level: 2
Mana cost: none
Legion: 5/7
_ _
Arac: Level – 40
Konda: Level – 40
Gurok: Level – 40
Amadon: Level – 45
Pyro: Level – 50
..
Victor tried, but it was simply impossible. The change he was hoping for didn’t come, and he could only see their levels at most. It was no big deal for now, Victor thought, as he put it aside for the moment.
A few more days went by, and Victor still couldn’t find the path that lead to the next floor. He was starting to believe he was in a labyrinth and not just a cave as thought previously. The more he tried to find his way out, the harder it got. “I’ll remain on this floor if things continue like this. ” Victor said while thinking for an alternative.
“System, isn’t there a way to map out the layout? Or do I need a skill for that?” Victor asked. Surprisingly, the system’s answer was positive.
[There is a map function in the system] The system answered.
“…”
Just then, an option box appeared beside the other boxes at the top of the status panel. Victor was speechless about this, but there was nothing he could do. It was relatively all in the past at that point. “Always inform me of important things such as this.” Victor said before opening the system panel and moving to the map section.
Immediately, a square panel appeared before Victor, and on it was a graphical layout of the floor he was in. With the new map, Victor was able to spot the places he was yet to explore, and it was clear why it seemed like the floor was bigger than it actually was. If Victor was to be asked, he would probably say the floor was at least as big as a town, but in actuality it wasn’t. The way the entire floor pathways were connected helped give the impression of a bigger floor.
“Good architecture of the place, really good design.” Unlike the previous map he had, this one didn’t indicate where the entrance to the floor and where the exit was located. Those he would have to find on his own. Now that Victor had this, he was going to go back in attempt to find a minotaur and get the required amount of evolution material to create a new form.
Even without the map, Victor could trace his steps back to the spots he found the minotaur previously. His memory was pretty good after all.
On his way to find the minotaur, he sprinted full speed through the little journey. It didn’t take Victor that much time before he arrived at the second spot where he found a minotaur, and sure enough, the minotaur was there patrolling around. Without stopping, Victor continued his forward charge and into the minotaur he ran.
[Minotaur Level 90]
The minotaur managed to dodge the sneak attack by moving its upper body to the side, but that was just what Victor wanted. Victor had the advantage of knowing the minotaur’s play and trump cards. He wasn’t there to play or test its capabilities, so he got down to business right away and pulled out his axe behind the Minotaur, before burying it deep into its back on impact.
As he pulled out the axe, he rushed towards the minotaur, and consciously, activated his skill ‘Touch of Death’. The moment his hand came into contact with the minotaur, it fell to its knee, and then it couldn’t hold its self up any longer and collapsed on all fours. Within the span of a few seconds, the minotaur collapsed on the ground as it died instantly.
Victor noticing that the minotaur had died moved in on it and began throwing chunks of flesh into his throat as he ate just enough until the exact amount of evolution material was gotten.
“This is enough.”
