RE:BORN Zombie

“I might have to do something about this skill. It’s very useful, but also very restrictive. A true double edged sword.” Victor said, as he swallowed chunks of the minotaur’s corpse, tearing them one after the other.

Needless to say, while Victor was collecting evolution material, members of his legion were elsewhere hunting.

[Amadon has levelled up]

The system notification prompted Victor just as he was about to place a chunk of meat in his mouth. “Hm.” He said, before swallowing the chunk of flesh.

“Isn’t Amadon the one with the highest level? How come he levelled up before the others?” Victor said.

Did this just mean that Amadon was putting in more work than the others, or he was just unlucky? Unlike Victor, his legion were still under the normal system, and didn’t have the title of One Who is Favoured by ‘The Process’.

“Whatever it is, it’s good development.”_.

Victor continued swallowing flesh and gaining evolution material, until a certain signal entered his mind. It felt weird when it happened, but at the same time he felt a primal instinct, instantly knowing what to do. If he wasn’t wrong, Amadon was in danger.

Victor had two choices. He either ignore the signal which would lead to a possible death of his subordinate, or he could abandon the rest of the evolution material before him and go running to his subordinate’s side. After thinking about it for some seconds, Victor decided to rush there.

Thinking rationally, he Amadon was nothing special, he could always get a better one, but something else drove him to go. If Amadon was in such danger, it only meant that he was facing something that much stronger, possibly a couple levels above Amadon. “I wonder what it is.”

After dashing through the dungeon routes for about a minute, Victor finally arrived at the location where the signal was coming from. With him, the other legion members had just arrived at the scene and were backing Amadon. ‘The others just got here too.’ Victor said in his mind.

Before he could see the enemy Amadon was facing off against, Victor heard a familiar kind of voice and language. “A human?” Victor said.

The voice was feminine, and sure enough after Victor saw the opponents, he confirmed his suspicion. Before him were two ladies who seemed to be human. One must have been a magician as he was dressed in their typical attire holding a typical staff with a crystal embedded on it. Her dress was white, and if Victor had to guess, he would say she was a healer or a holy magic user.

‘No wonder Amadon was losing.’ Victor thought. If it was holy magic, then it would deal double damage to Amadon, not to mention the fact that it weakens undead and overall is the perfect counter for them.

Apart from the magician, the other lady seemed to be a fighter or more appropriately a warrior. She wore amour that covered most of her body, leaving the head, joints, and some other places. Unlike the magician, she wielded a fat greatsword. The sword’s width was at least as wide as a palm, and if nothing else would be very heavy.

‘System.’

[Human Level 80]

[Human Level 83]

‘No shit. So this was why Amadon was almost made history.’

Not only the level difference, but also the holy magic or maybe it was healing magic. Looking at the duo, Victor thought of what to do. If they were just normal people, he would have been able to fight against them, but the magician was the problem. Victor might have lessened penalty when it came to matters related to holy magic, but needless to say, it still caused significant damage. Coupled with the warrior, He would be dead before he could kill them both.

[Undead Body]

As an undead, you do not require sleep or rest, and you do not require any sustenance nor are you held back by the need of bodily functions. Your stamina is limitless, and you do not accumulate fatigue. Any injury aside from a critical or fatal head injury will not kill you, and will not hinder your mobility or bodily functions, but damage will still be taken. You are able to survive in extreme conditions of cold and heat, and radiation, up to a certain limit. You will naturally heal your injuries after a period of time, but cannot regain lost body parts. Foreign Body parts can be attached.

-Necrotic/Negative energy is converted to healing/mana supplement

-Healing/Holy magic is converted to damage (Penalty lessened)

-Complete Immunity to sickness and disease

-Complete immunity to psychic attacks

-Complete immunity to poison attacks

-Complete immunity to curses

-(+20%) damage from fire type attacks

-(+50%) damage received from Holy/Light magic attacks

-Can enter holy grounds. ..

The whole time Victor was doing these analysis, only about 30 seconds had gone by. From the humans’ state, he could tell that they hadn’t even used much of their strength, as they were in perfect condition.

While both sides stared at each other, Victor took back his legion as they instantly turned into something like a shadowy smoke and crept back into it as they disappeared.

After analyzing the situation, Victor could still see a way to win this fight. If the magician’s magic dealt extra damage to him as an undead, it also meant the same for her. Necrotic energy would deal extra damage to her, and since they were humans, he could always just bite them since he wouldn’t be needing their evolution material, at least for the time being.

The magician’s stats would also be focused on magic than physical attributes, so he would be superior in that regard.

‘Should I try my luck?’ Victor thought. ‘No.’

On second thought, Victor thought to himself. Not all fights have to be done with brute force. Sometimes, the strongest on the battle fields are those who came make adequate tactics and strategy, something he hadn’t done for a while. There was no need to risk it.

Obviously, if he was to rush there and attack at that moment and was killed, he would just respawn due to the effects of the dungeon, but whether he would respawn on that floor was the issue. If he was brought back to the first floor that would just be detrimental. This was what he was avoiding.

‘I should leave for now. How I wish I had a stealth skill.’
