Chapter 48: A Weird Wolf Has Been Spotted! And It Is A Zombie?! (2/2)

[Undeath]

A creature who is not alive, nor completely dead… an Undeath is someone that should be clearly dead but roams the plane of the living by some kind of supernatural means.

As an Undeath, the creature possesses immunity to fear, poison, and pain, alongside having unlimited stamina.

However, it also has unending hunger, and weakness to holy light and fire magic.

[Undying Stamina]

As an Undeath, the creature possesses endless stamina, and can also move even with zero mana.

[Degradation]

As an infected, your Vitality is slowly drained, but in exchange, your power keeps growing the more it is drained.

[Crazed Agility]

As you are insane, your agility and reflexes are of another level.

[Crazed Consumption]

By consuming prey, you can recovery Vitality and gain more strength.

[Infection]

You can infect a weakened foe with Mold, if it loses the battle of wills, it will become a Molded afterward.

…

Oh damn, he got the whole Zombie build, doesn't he?

And he can even infect with this mold stuff…

So it is a mold.

I see.

Well, then, the nightmare… what was it at the end?

Was that a premonition of the future? I guess I was right back then.

Oh damn, what are we going to do?

I kind of want to kill it…

Let's see.

I hover over it slowly, but it quickly notices me, damn it.

Even with camouflage, it noticed me.

The wolf roars and begins to jump, roaring monstrously, but it can't catch me.

”Groaarrwwrarwaarr!”

He keeps jumping pointlessly, even if he's breaking his bones every time he hits the ground from such a height.

Yeah, it lacks a complete sense of self-preservation, this thing is really ”insane”.

Let's see… from this distance… Icicle Spear.

I can more or less conjure this stuff incredibly easily at this point, so I create a large Icicle Spear and shot it at the wolf!

CLASH!

”GRAAGGH…!”

The wolf falls over the ground, begins to struggle, and then it gets up…

That should ha definitely killed you bud, the Icicle Spear literally went through your torso… all the way to your stomach.

But nope, he's moving, somehow.

I see it's HP and it is around 60 though.

Even if you're a zombie, you can still die, I guess.

I shot another smaller icicle spear into its head, which explodes into a bloody mush.

Splat!

The beast falls over the ground motionless.

And it doesn't wake up anymore.

It is dead…

Rest in peace, buddy.

I glance at the black mold there, but it is immobile.

I suppose it can't move by itself, so it spread through spores or by direct infection from the one that contains its original strain.

Should I eat it?

Everything screams that I should not.

But what if I get crazy Undeath Skills without the side effects?

Wouldn't that be awesome?

Yeah, but not worth risking getting infected and becoming a zombie, so I quickly fly away.

I decide to get over the snow for a bit until my Mana refills, and we walk around cautiously.

If this thing can infect others… then there are probably more infected monsters around.

It has been a while since I actually felt fear…

I don't know what is going on anymore.

Did this magic world undergo a Resident Evil-like apocalypse by any chance? I sure hope not…

Maybe I am just being stupid, and that mold is just a native species of the monster of this world…

Perhaps.

I hope…

I really hope so…
