RE:BORN Zombie

“Who are you? Sending off your half thing of a partner, do you believe you can just walk in and out of this city?” The same vampire asked with a hint of arrogance in his voice.

Victor didn’t respond but just stared at them all with his eyes beginning to show a tint of green as the sun set slowly behind the horizon and darkness creped in.

As the main point of the visit was for him to get some vampire material, Victor wasn’t going to take things slow and silent. He disappeared before the eyes of the four before reappearing simultaneously before the one that had been talking. He seemed to be the leader, and also stood in the middle of the rest.

Before the vampire’s expression could even change to show surprise, his head came off as Victor twisted it off like a well-oiled bolt. The vampire’s body remained standing for a while as though not aware that its head had been taken off, and after a second, it collapsed. Following this collapse, the other vampires sprang into action.

Two of the vampires pounced on Victor as soon as their shock cleared, while the last one ran away. Victor intentionally allowed the last one to run, as he figured he would go bring reinforcement. It was a really good way for him to get all the vampires, or at least most of them, in the same place without having to go do the search himself.

While the last one ran off, the two that jumped at Victor immediately faced despair, as they also weren’t given the time to even regret their actions. With two uppercuts done at the same time, Victor blasted off the heads of both vampires in mid-air, and when they got to him, their bodies also just crashed onto the ground. What Victor noticed was that these vampires he just killed didn’t have any blood in them, as if they did the entire place would have been stained already. Instead, there was something black with high viscosity like crude oil coming from their wounds, and slowly too.

‘Maybe this is their blood?’ Victor thought to himself. When he was injured, there was no blood at all, just a wound and pale white flesh. He was curious to know what kind of change his body would undergo when he evolved using the vampire material, honestly, he couldn’t wait.

As Victor waited for more vampires to show up, he helped himself to the vampire bodies before him. As always, there were certain parts Victor left there, that he didn’t eat. Including the intestine and some other parts, Victor just bundles them together and stood next to the pile of innards and bones.

Not too long after he finished consuming the three vampires, he heard more coming. Even before he checked his system map to see their location, he could already tell where they were. Also, from this, Victor could also tell that the vampires coming weren’t their best and were probably the first line of their defense. ‘Honestly, when things like these happen, if the higher-ups would just agree to show up at once, it would always be better.’ Victor thought to himself. It was like the video games where the demon king would just keep sending his minions until it was his turn as the minions were all dead. If he fought the hero himself from the beginning, it would be an easy win, but no. They just keep feeding the hero experience points and equipment to grow until he’s strong enough to kill them, then they face him.

Though Victor could clearly see them like day and without any additional effects, to anyone seeing the vampires, they appeared like blurs on top of the buildings near the place Victor stood. Some also came out of the alleyway close by, and all together, they were around 20 of them, a good number for Victor to gain some valuable material.

When fighting against things that he was going to eat Victor was very limited in the skills he could use on them. It would be easy to use Negative burst, but the problem is that the negative energy after reaching max had become too strong, and would corrode and corrupt the energy and body of the target after some minutes of being exposed to the energy, that is if the target survives. Normally it would happen after they die. All of Victor’s skills that were related to necromancy seemed to have become like that or similar.

With this many vampires, it was either he faced them with fists and physical force, or he used his most trusted weapon.

Victor’s clothes swayed a bit like they had come in contact with the night breeze, and as it happened, all the vampires around him just fell dead on the floor. He had gotten to a point where he didn’t need to activate his skills through the system, so he needed not to call out the skills name or anything of the sort.

With all his legion away, as he stopped around some dungeons to give them some training, Victor had to gather the bodies himself.

“Shadow demon, go get the bodies for me,” Victor said after activating his skill Demon Shadow.

The skill creates a shadow clone of Victor that is physically as strong as him and inherits three of his skills at their original strength. The demon shadows appear completely dark, like solidified smoke, taking on the shape and figure of whatever the one who created them was wearing at that point in time. It is capable of making its own decisions but will do so in accordance with the will of the creator. Quickly, the shadow demon gathered all the bodies before Victor and then disappeared as it was done with its task.

Victor began to eat those bodies while waiting for more to come. He had a feeling it might take some time, so he made a better plan this time, one that would get him where he wanted to go, and easily.

“First, let’s finish this.” He said, before tearing off the flesh from one of the vampires before him. Victor always felt that he looked like a pervert, having to undress or tear off pieces of clothing to get to the edible parts.
