RE:BORN Zombie

76 Level 150 Boss Monster



‘I can only hope for this all powerful dragon to have become a mere insanely strong 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.’ Victor thought to himself, as he stood before the sleeping dragon.

He was very sure the dragon before him would possess some very annoying skills and abilities, so he was seriously looking for a way to make things easier for himself. Victor went through his skills in his head, trying to find one that would best do the job for him in other for him to secure an advantage, but then the best idea struck him.

‘Why exactly didn’t I think of this since!” He exclaimed at his slow thinking, it was right before him the whole time.

Now that he thought about it, there were two skills in particular that would would work the best in this situation, but even without much thought Victor knew which one to go with. If the first one happened to fail, the second one could always be used to compensate. The first skill was his Excavate skill which was the best shot at dealing the most damage before the fight officially started, and the other was the skill Eyes of Dreams & Nightmare. The first one would work since it affected the space in question in a subatomic level, while the second one could even affect reality itself, even though everything happened in the target’s mind. These two skills were undoubtedly among his top five.

(A/N: For those that would want to see the description)

[Excavate].

Excavate the fiscal matter around a set area into void.

Level: 4

Mana cost: 50

_ _

[Eye of Dreams & Nightmares]

A very powerful attack that puts the target to sleep, and you are able to induce a dream, or a nightmare in them. There is no difference between the world they experience and the real world, to the target, it is the same, and whatever they experience in it is true. It resides in your left eye, and the target has to make eye contact for the skill to activate. Experiences in the dream world affect reality in the actual world, and this is totally under your control.

Level: 1

Mana cost: 100

..

Without wasting much time, Victor positioned himself before the dragon’s head, and with his usual stoic expression, he mentally activated the Excavate skill, aiming it at the dragon’s head.

‘Excavate.’

At that moment, the dragon’s head suddenly went missing following some of its upper body section, and then Victor jumped backwards as he made sure to distance himself enough, just in case the dragon woke up with an AOE skill. He waited for some seconds that quickly turned into ten, and then twenty, but the dragon never stood. The most it did was flinch a bit, and its body tried to move, but apart from that nothing else.

‘HUH?’ Victor couldn’t help the thought when something appeared before his eyes.

[You have killed the Ancestral True Dragon ‘Garmorock]

+500,000exp

Staring at the message that just popped up into his vision in utter disbelieve, Victor’s mind clicked fast as he calculated the situation before him. Obviously, dragons weren’t hydras nor were they trolls, their healing capability was better than most creatures, but it couldn’t even be called a super healing factor. Ramok was just a special in the end.

“Geez.. To think I would kill a monster so high above my level that the power gap might actually be levelled in one blow.. I have really outdone myself.” Victor said as he moved closer to the dragon.

Maybe if the dragon was awake and had all of its defensive abilities activated, it would have been a much harder fight? Victor thought, but then again, his Excavate skill completely ignored most defensive magic or skills, so it would still happened regardless. At this point, he would be a bit sad that he was unable to get the drake’s evolution material, as that regenerative ability was just too much. With that, Victor made a mental note to find something with that sort of ability later on.

Seeing as the first ‘tremor’ had rocked the dungeon signifying that it had started closing, Victor hurried up with the material extraction process as he swallowed chunk after chunk of the dragon’s flesh. He could only imagine himself in a snake form and swallowing the entire body whole, seriously, to think that never crossed his mind.. Heh.

On the other hand, Victor was still wondering when the dragon was going to appear, or like Ramok, speak to him. The main purpose of him coming here to begin with is to free this dragon to begin with. Maybe he didn’t give it enough time to boot its brain as he just up and killed it in its sleep? Victor thought to himself, but then there was nothing much he could do. ‘Then what about the treasury I was promised? Those this mean I won’t be getting anything?’ Victor queried in his mind. Ramok did say to speak his name when he met his master, which was the dragon, and the dragon would understand. ‘Why don’t I try that?’

“Ramok.” Victor said. “Ramok sent me here to free you.” He then said again and added a bit of detail as he thought that would at least work… Nothing happened still.

Victor then took out the key he received from Ramok as he remembered the drake’s words. Ramok did tell him that the key would glow after he killed the dragon, there was nothing that said he needed to communicate with the creature first, so maybe..

The moment Victor took out the key, it shimmered with an intense glow of golden light that was almost blinding, then the light calmed as it returned back into the key. Apparently, his mission was complete. Victor quietly stashed away the key for now and focused on the dragon first. The dungeon was going to close soon, so he really didn’t have time to be looking at the riches and wealth acquired by Ramok throughout his lifetime, he could always do that later.

When he was finally done with the dragon corpse, as he hurriedly ate every single bit of it, leaving very little behind together with the bones, Victor hurried out of the boss room. The crack that appeared in it had already started expanding in size at a dangerous pace, so he tried to get as far away as possible. He hadn’t explored this dungeon well, so he was unaware of some places that would be short cuts, so he just relied on his map and followed the ones shown on it which looked like potential shortcuts. IF there happened to not be a passage way through the path he was taking, Excavate was always an option, and Victor just went through the walls.

Finally, after getting to the floor where he left his Legion, he took then back in as they were unsummoned, and then he went full speed out of the dungeon entrance. All together, he had only spent a couple of hours inside the dungeon, so he was a bit quick about it if that was taken into account the normal time needed to clear such a difficult dungeon, not to mention that the human team that was sent inside would have been completely useless before the guardians of the boss room. That was if they even managed to reach it, which they clearly didn’t, being killed by normal lizard men no less.

Even with Victor’s ground breaking clearing time, that had nothing to do with the time it took for the human government to react to a dungeon with no officials guarding it, which would mean possible outbreak or something bad, anything for that matter. Outside the dungeon entrance were a team of humans that dressed in similar attire, marking them as a team of some sort, quite clearly. The moment they saw Victor emerge from the closing dungeon, they reacted and focused all their attention on him.

Victor who just rushed out of the dungeon was quite surprised to see how fast the humans responded. He could understand, as the time to send report might had been the next hour after he killed the team stationed outside the dungeon when he entered, so there was nothing out of his calculations. ‘I’m so glad I didn’t lose my intelligence.’

Victor had two choices in this situation which he was faced with at the present moment. Coming out of the dungeon, it was morning, very, very early in the morning. He steadily casted his eyes moving through the people before him slowly, studying them. They approached him slowly without saying anything, and Victor knew not what was to be done in these sorts of situations according to their standards, so he just remained silent and allowed them for the time being, waiting for them to make the first comment. Though, he had already decided.

With the two choices presented before him, he could cooperate with the humans before him, or just kill them and be done with. Of course, the better choice was obvious. ‘This shit is so stressful.’
