Novel Full Chapter 152 - Two New Companions
-----
Veronica glanced at a large dark-colored rat that fought against a Giant Lizard.
"Chuu!"
Kyuu, who had been just tamed a few hours ago as a Rank 1 Demon Rat, was already a Rank 3 Dark Giant Demon Rat, her size had become as big as a cow, and the fur that covered his body had become fluffier and darker. It had a long and skinny tail, alongside its legs which had many toes to crab on this alongside long nails.
In the span of a few hours, Kyuu was given enough experience by exploring a dungeon with Veronica to reach Rank 3, it was a rather outstanding result.
Veronica, Aqua, and Ozgeth would beat a few monsters to almost death, letting Kyuu finishing them off for good, gaining large amounts of Experience Points, in a similar fashion that Veronica did with many of the citizens when they were changing Jobs at first.
However, after reaching Rank 3, Kyuu was given the task to fight by itself and to sharpen its skills and fighting ability. It had already showcased an outstanding talent, as it took on many almost equally strong Rank 3 Giant Lizards, and was now about to kill the number twenty.
"Chuuuu!"
Kyuu jumped over the Giant Lizard's head, as he did a graceful move in midair and directed its fangs towards the Giant Lizard's neck, tearing apart the scaled creature flesh and killing it.
"Chuu, chuu!" said Kyuu, as he rushed towards Veronica.
"Good job, Kyuu-san!" said Veronica, petting the adorable giant rat, while giving it butchered chunks of the meat from the Giant Lizards that it killed.
"Chuu, chuu!"
Flash!
Suddenly, Kyuu glowed brightly for a few seconds, as it ranked up to a Rank 4 monster!
"Oh? It's evolving again?!" said Shade in surprise.
"I really thought that it would have to wait until tomorrow, but I guess that Kyuu is quite talented," said Veronica.
"In what will he evolve now, gubo?" asked Aqua.
"Chuu!"
Kyu suddenly revealed itself again, its size did not increase much other than a few centimeters, but its body seemed to have become more streamlined and slimmer… also, from its dark fur, Veronica suddenly felt slight sparks of electricity being generate.
"Oh? According to its status, it became a Rank 4 Dark Giant Spark Rat" said Veronica, praising Kyuu for its new evolution.
Kyuu seemed to have been harboring the potential of producing electricity due to its dense fur, but it finally developed it truly through its new Rank Up. After a bit of celebration where Kyuu was fed even more food to satiate itself after spending a lot of calories after evolving, the party went back to the young Igni Kingdom, only for them to find a tired Ervas being carried around by a dragon-kin-like lady.
However, unlike any dragon-kin, she had different skin colors across her body, most of her limbs were of a different color, which was carefully stitched together. She had the features of Dragon-kin in her reptile-like hands and feet, alongside her wings protruding from her back torso and the horns in her head.
But she was in fact a Rank 3 Patchwork Zombie by the name of Draconia, Ervas newest creation, which could be considered as an adoptive daughter of sorts too due to her seemingly immature mental age.
"Drraaaaa! Drraaaa!" she said, groaning towards Veronica, not aggressively but in a friendly demeanor.
"Ah, so you finally made a Zombie, Ervas!" said Veronica.
"Yes, I named her Draconia because she kind of looks like her," said Ervas.
"Oh right… the green wings and the red hair? Yeah, partially… I wonder if she's in this world?"
"She was rather young, so I doubt it. We won't have problems regarding this for the next couple of centuries," said Ervas.
"That's a relief, I guess," said Veronica, petting Draconia's short red hair. It was silky and soft, and Draconia did not smell bad at all despite being recently made from corpse pieces, this was thanks to Ervas 'Disinfection' Life Attribute Magic Spell, a simple and weak spell capable of cleaning something, but thanks to Ervas knowledge about bacteria and other things, he was able to target it to slow down or even completely stop the decomposition of flesh.
Also, in the world of Kritias, whenever dead flesh became a Zombie, the mana within its body would maintain the creature for the most part, without letting it simply rot away and decay into pieces, and the higher the rank of the undead, the less it would decay.
"Chuuu" said Kyuu, appearing out of Veronica's armor, whose internal space was expanded through the 'Space Expansion' Skill and made comfy to rest inside through the 'Comfort Maintenance' Skill.
"So this is your new tamed pet? It is cute… Rank 4? Did you level it up?" asked Ervas, who was being dragged in Draconia's arms as if he were her baby.
"Err… Errvasss…" said Draconia.
"Yep! His name is Kyuu by the way, and I think he evolved into a rare monster… I don't remember ever seeing a Rat capable of producing electricity" said Veronica.
"It must be a unique evolution, well done," said Ervas, praising Veronica's efforts, although she thought of that as nothing, she was an exceptional tamer.
Draconia and Kyuu met each other for a bit.
"Draaaacooo…" groaned Draconia, trying to pet Kyuu.
"Chuu! Chuu! Chuu!"
However, Kyuu was rather not fond of Draconia, so he released sparks from its body to fend her away… but this resulted in nothing, Draconia was not affected by its attack and reached to Kyuu's head, petting it.
"Kyyyuuuu…" she said.
"Chu- Chuu?!"
Kyuu was a bit surprised over Draconia's immunity to its electricity, which was most likely because her body was sewed together and did not had a strong electric conductivity capacity… and also because she was capable of producing electricity.
"Drraaa…" said Draconia, trying to salute Kyuu with her own electricity produced from the electricity-producing organs inside of her, she also coupled this with her vibration-producing organ.
SPARK!
"CHUUUUU!"
Kyuu was sent flying through the air over Draconia's petting, her vibrations and electricity converged into a lethal attack that could easily cause cardiac arrest in most beings that weren't strong enough to resist it…
"She's too friendly…" muttered Veronica.
"I'm sorry, I'll teach her better… Draconia, don't do that again" said Ervas, as he flew towards Kyuu and healed it completely.
"C-Chuu…" said Kyuu, glancing at Draconia with a bit of fear.
"Errrrvasss…" said Draconia, lowering her head.
She might end up being more lethal than Ervas thought…
After introductions, Ervas and Veronica's 'family' welcomed the two new members, Draconia and Kyuu.
"So you're a Zombie like me? About time someone else joined!" laughed Goliath, glancing at Draconia from above his great size.
"Gooo… Goliaaath... Goliaaath... Go... Goooooo...?" said Draconia, trying to remember her new Zombie friend's name.
"Yeah, that's my name, take it, easy missy, no rush," said Goliath.
"Ruush… Rush? Ruuush... Ruuush...!"
Draconia was introduced to food, and she fell in love with roasted meat with mayonnaise…
And as for Kyuu, he decided not to sit near Draconia while having dinner…
"Chuu..."
