RE:BORN Zombie

Chapter 142 [Bonus chapter] Death and Defeat

A hand had had went through the vampire’s chest as he transformed, and Victor was surprised at what just happened. The vampire himself didn’t even turn to look at the attacker and just went on with what he was doing. Under a few seconds, Victor was blown away by some kind of energy that looked black and felt a bit cold.

Looking at the vampire now, it seemed like he had worn some kind of cloth that was completely made of darkness itself as it materialized over his body to cover him up almost like a cloak.

Now that the short transformation, the vampire turned around to look at the one that had done the sneak attack, and Victor was also curious to know, so he didn’t even take the chance to attack.

To both of their surprise, the one who attacked was actually Ramkish who still had a hole in his own mid section, and it even seemed to be healing slowly.

“You…” The vampire said but didn’t complete his statement.

“Are you blind or something? Can’t you feel it?” Ramkish asked, sounding a bit irritated and ticked off.

“If it’s that, I can very much feel it,” the vampire said in response as he turned his head a little to the side, just enough that he could look at Victor. “-but I refuse to acknowledge a weakling.”

“It doesn’t matter, you won’t last lo-” Before Ramkish could complete his sentence, the other vampire appeared before him, and with what looked like a simple shove, he was sent flying tens of metres away, and couldn’t get up after that. As it would seem, that wasn’t a simple push.

Victor didn’t understand what the conversation he just heard was all about and why the vampires were fighting each other, but he knew he had a bigger problem to face. He seemed to be getting the upper hand, but with his enemy’s new form, he couldn’t say for sure. The good thing though was that the fist that went through the vampire’s chest wasn’t just any attack, and it had targeted something specific that he didn’t even know was there, and that thing looked like some type of core.

Normally removing something like that from a being that depended on it would mean death, but the vampire was still alive.

Victor and the vampire soon resumed their fight, and this time Victor could feel that he was being pushed back, though not as much this time. His opponent began getting serious as time elapsed, and so doing really began overpowering Victor in many cases.

For one short moment, Victor was about to get impaled by the vampire, but then he stopped just as his fingers had drawn blood from the Victor’s neck. Victor could feel that his neck was about to fly off, and with the blessing of having unlimited stamina, he wasn’t worn out, at least not physically. He did feel a bit off mentally.

“Damn that bastard… Unfortunately this is as far as I go.. The rest is up to you.” The vampire said. It looked like he was about to say something else, but then his body began to fade and turn to dust, just like the body of a vampire he fought earlier.

After the vampire’s body faded, the fire burning all over and through Victor’s body went off immediately, and he returned to his base self. Unexpectedly, he fell on one knee as he could feel a bit exhausted mentally. To say the least, Victor didn’t know that he could get mentally exhausted even, but he soon saw the reason to be his insanely low MP that was now below 10, which was incredible considering that he had more than enough.

As it would seem, he really didn’t have control over his ability, and not only was he not used to it yet, he also was very inefficient.

His body started adapting and recovering immediately, so he would be able to move soon. After a very short time, Victor felt a burst of power rush through him, and following it were various system notifications. Basically, he could once again access his skills, titles and all that. This signified that the vampire had really died.

Following that, several vampires appeared around Victor from the shadow it looked. He was alert at first, but could feel no intent towards him coming from them, and just watched them. He could take them without skills, but their ability to move through shadow and darkness was very annoying and made them very slippery foe.

They looked around for a bit before facing Victor and bowing their head a little, all in unison.

pAnda (nov)e1? Truly, Victor was been hit with one confusing thing after another. He couldn’t understand why the vampires would bow their heads to him, but he would if he knew what was in their minds.

They had been instructed to follow him if anything was to happen from their leader and after that do whatever they wished, and it seemed like that was the plan. After expressing their loyalty to him, they vanished without paying any attention to Ramkish’s body, which Victor once again found strange.

He could feel that there was still life in the body, so he walked over to where it was, and to his surprise what lay there was not Ramkish, but a completely different person all together.

There seemed to be some remnants in the body’s appearance as Victor studied it, but he could tell that the body was changing, and the speed at which it was doing that was also fast.

Victor couldn’t tell if this one would turn to dust or not, but either way, the fact that he was still alive after what happened to him was shocking and dangerous enough, so Victor decided it was better to kill him one last time, but unfortunately for him, a disturbing system warning appeared.

Before Victor could even pull up his status screen to look at what was happening, he fell backwards to the ground.
