RE:BORN Zombie

“So I could do that ever since I defeated that thing huh? I completely forgot about the matter.” Having to see the usual Zombie#2314 in place of his name, Victor had gotten used to it that he even normalized it subconsciously.

Now that he was done with the lizard men issue, it was time to progress deeper into the dungeon. It didn’t occur to Victor at the time, but he would have just invested his coins into the Legion of Dead skill, so that the capacity would increase and he would be able to add more undead to his ranks. It wasn’t all bad though. In the end, its better to have fewer followers that are strong, than many that are average.

‘But seeing as I have the means to make them all strong even if they are much, that is something I should think about.’

With the materials he had, Victor decided to evolve Shanok first before he continued his descent. The more he made use of the evolution system, the better he understood it and its functionalities. Victor no longer needed to do extended study of the different forms and possibilities of the evolved monster, putting both together, he could tell what the result of the evolution would be, and the only time he needed to actually study the entire process was when it was something unfamiliar or something that had a lot of variables mixed in.

With an order to the system, Victor ordered for Shanok to be evolved using as much Lizard man material. Because of how the process worked, one monster could undergo multiply evolutions under the same material, so all Victor needed to do was specify to the system to carry out a continues evolution on Shanok until the material was exhausted, or the max evolution was reached.

Following that, the process started, and as usual Victor would be unable to make use of the Shanok during the process of evolution.

After that floor, Victor went through two more floors, and to his surprise the dungeon had come to an end. Definitely not as long as the first, but the monsters were strong right off the bat. Victor walked towards the enormous metal doors calmly as he paced himself. The door had two statues erected on both sides that resembled guardians of some sort, and each of the statue had its hand on the sides of the door, as if they were keeping it in place. Victor had a basic idea of what was about to happen, but he decided to ignore it regardless and just continue onward.

Victor got to the door, and just like the last one he tried to push it open, but also like the previous one, it didn’t even budge.

“Same thing huh?” Victor said, while folding his hands.

Just when he would expect for the statues to move, they didn’t disappoint and did just that. Victor suspected this kind of cliché set up the moment he saw the statues, but alas, he could only wait for them to activate.

‘Finally moving huh?’ Victor said in his mind.

Looking at the now moving and alive statues, Victor could not make heads of which race these giant monsters were, but then again he didn’t even want to know, since they were about to become statues again, for real this time.

Both monsters were ash/grey in colour, and their bodies seemed to house the immerse amount of fat, but with no folds on them. If nothing else, they looked bloated. Seeing as they weren’t Cyclopes, Victor concluded the fact that the key did not lie in their eyes, but then what was it

‘There is absolutely no clue as to what I am supposed to do with these guys.’ Victor thought. “Or maybe Ii should just blast a hole through this metal door…” He left that as a last resort tactic. For t=now, he would try to follow the original plot.

At this point was when the monsters charged at him, since they had been in the process of turning back into flesh and organic components. Needless to say, their opponent had no wish to spend time with them, and so they found themselves to have once again returned to their slumber just moments after they awoke.

Victor, using his go-to skill waited for both monsters to attack from both sides, as they both dropped a leg on his petite body. All he needed to do from there was to activate his Touch of Death skill and hold both of their legs, killing them instantly the next minute.

“Hmph.. Still nothing.”

Victor stared at the metal doors with a blank expression, but in his mind he was racing through what he could do to open the door. There were a few options that popped up, but in the end nothing worked. After trying some of the ideas, but to no avail, it was time to try the next one. All he needed to do for this one was get the blood of these monsters unto the doors, and hope for it to work.

‘This is a fucking dungeon, not some kind of maze or puzzle. I still don’t get why they doo stuff like this. Isn’t the whole aim to get to the boos monster and kill it? This is not a stupid game to begin with.’ Victor thought in his mind while the doors rumbled.

This last method seemed to have worked. Victor’s days of playing video games that didn’t at all help him in his academics were finally showing its worth in real life situations. Slowly, the enormous doors of metal began sliding inward.

Victor only waited for the door to open up just enough for him to enter, then he did. There was no need to wait for the entire process like some kind of movie, it was completely time consuming. As he walked into the room like compartment that housed the boss monster, Victor could notice some similarities between both boss rooms, and immediately, he spotted the boss monster.

The boss monster was a dragon, this he already knew, and just like the other boss, it was still lying there without moving a single muscle, probably until he created a disturbance like with the other. The room had several crystals embedded into the walls that provided lighting, and it was even more spacious than the other one. Also, this boos monster seemed to retain its original features, and was not given something like an extra head like Ramok, the only thing that was striking was its name and level. When Victor read it, he simply had no words, and it also added to his suspicions.

[Ancestral True Dragon ‘Garmorock Level 150]

The level was definitely an insane one, but for an ancestral tru dragon, Victor felt it too low. Dragons were supposed to be godlike existences, as is the case for even normal dragons, and the strongest human’s level was even above 200, and even then, he isn’t a god. But then, an ancestral true dragon was placed at a mere 150, truly something to pay more attention to.

The thing that had Victor thinking wasn’t just the fact that the dragon’s level was too low for what it was supposed to be, it was the fact that such a being could be captured and brought into another world so easily, if it happened the way Ramok explained it. To have such power and be able to control and even reduce the strength of such a being that is supposed to be on par with gods, it only made Victor wonder who or what was behind such doings. Thinking of it now, perhaps being marked back then wasn’t such a simple thing.

‘This is something for later.’ Victor said in his mind to dismiss the thoughts momentarily. For now, what he had to do was focus on the more pressing issue before him which was how he was going to go about fighting a level 150 monster.

No matter how strong he was, a level 150 monster was a level 150 monster, the rank difference could not be discredited that easily. He had been able to escape many foes because of his unique strength as his levels were compressed to give him absolute strength, but before such a creature, he wasn’t sure how the battle was going to go. Faced with such a predicament, there was only one way Victor could think of.

‘I can only hope for this all powerful dragon to have become a mere insanely powerful lizard after being brought here. Just like Ramok, most of its strength should have been taken away, so maybe this won’t be as difficult as I’m thinking.’

“Let’s begin.”
