Chapter 20 Mountain Tiger
As soon as Victor uttered this word, the corpse before him twitched a bit, and before his very eyes, the serpent turned pale as colour felt its skin.
A few more seconds passed, and then the spider shook slowly, before rising to it’s feet, same with the serpent. As they rose up once more, Victor got a strange feeling, as an innate connection between himself and the two creatures was felt deep in him.
It was strange, but deep within his person, Victor felt the two monsters, like they had a place in him, like they would never betray him, the new found bond felt stronger that that of blood. It was truly supernatural and astonishing.
“This feeling, I guess you guys won’t become a Judas by my side, huh?” Victor said.
[Dark Poisonous Spider has dropped in level due to effects of being reborn]
[Dark Poisonous Spider Level 40]
[Giant Forest Snake has dropped in level due to effects of being reborn]
[Giant Forest Snake Level 40]
“Hmm, that’s expected I guess.”
[You have acquired two undying soldiers that will forever serve at your side with unquestionable resolve].
“Hmm, this ok.”
After that, Victor inspected the now walking corpses, precisely, where he had taken out pieces of flesh. Just like he thought, any injury or deformity sustained before they became zombies were retained, and would remain so forever, unless under special conditions.
“This is good enough.” Victor said.

“Is this all the information provided? Well, I guess levelling up the skill will solve that.” Victor said, his now unnatural calmness exuding coldness.
From that point on, Victor didn’t encounter any more abnormalities as he climbed the floors. His skill ‘Legion of the Dead’ was able to store a certain number of undead for him to summon at any time to do his bidding, but it had another effect. All his undead under the legion could also level up and unlike regular zombies, they had a higher level of intelligence.
Though his subordinates could grow stronger by levelling up, Victor didn’t have time to allow them kill go around killing monsters, besides, they were not a cheat character like himself. Because of his title [One Who is Favoured by ‘The Process’] Victor is able to bypass level restrictions when it came to leveling, but his skills couldn’t be shared, so these two monsters under him were under the normal laws. Even after killing 10,000 zombies, they won’t level up.
That, was something Victor thought to look at later. On the 29th floor, Victor came across another though opponent after descending the previous floors rather peacefully.
With every floor he descended, Victor noticed just how vast the one after gets. From the first floor where the size was like that of a mansion’s compound, to the current floor, the 29th floor where the size was nothing smaller than a mid-sized village. Unlike the last time on the 21st floor, this time Victor encountered the monster by chance and didn’t go looking for it.
“What is this energy? Is this a beast’s aura?” Victor thought to himself. Maybe t was the influence of the knowledge from earth, seeing as Victor was something of an otaku. There was no better way to describe it.
As he moved closer to the spot he noticed the figure of a monster half the size and height of the two he had taken in to be part of his legion. This time, there was no fog or obstruction insight, so Victor could see the monster right away.
It was a white tiger.
“Isn’t that a tiger? What’s a tiger doing in the reptile and insect section of the supermarket?” Victor questioned, starting to think who ever designed the cave must be some what dumb.
The system quickly identified the monster for Victor, and after seeing the name of the monster, Victor couldn’t help but think the person who designed the cave was actually dumb.
[White Mountain Tiger Level 50]
“Well, the experience points are welcome.” Victor said, as he dashed forward without warning, even before the tiger noticed him.
The beast was sitting on top a mound of large rocks with its eyes closed. Unlike last time, Victor wasn’t interested in dragging this one out, so he went straight for the kill. The tiger had heightened senses, so half way before Victor reached it, it had sensed him coming already, and only managed to dodge at the last second.
Actually, it had turn out that the tiger wasn’t the one that dodge, instead it was Victor who didn’t attack. He was already thinking of adding the beast as one of his subordinates, so he didn’t want it to sustain much injury, if possible none.
Though the tiger had managed to dodge, that miracle was unfortunately one in a lifetime kind of miracle, as now Victor was only some couple metres away from the tiger. With his mind, he activated the skill ‘Touch of Death’
..
[Touch of Death]
Instantly cause critical damage to any target touched with your hands. Continues contact will increase the damage dealt.
Level: 1
Mana cost: 10/s
..
(A/N: I adjusted the effects of the skill.)
Before the tiger could think it’s next course of action, Victor was standing on top of it as he vanished in a flash from where he was standing. He placed his right hand on the tigers head, and in just a few seconds the tiger collapsed on the floor, dead.
[Killed White Mountain Tiger]
+60,000EXP
As he came down from the tiger’s back, he got a system notification.
[System analysis complete. Dark Poisonous Spider has been analyzed]
[System analysis complete. Giant Forest Snake has been analyzed]
[Due to small amount of evolution material, choices of evolution are limited]
“I expected that.” Victor decided it was time for him to try evolving and mixing other creatures into himself to see the results.
Before, he wasn’t too keen on doing this, as he wanted to maintain a human appearance, but now, he just wanted to get stronger. “Or maybe I should still maintain my first form so. I’ll do that.” Victor couldn’t help but think.
‘My soul has really become undead right? I for someone who was once human, I don’t-‘
Victor kept that idea out for the mean time. Before him now was the corpse of the tiger he had just killed, and following it was the exp he had gotten after killing it. Now, he was going to fetch some flesh, than the beast will be turned into his subordinate.
