Leo looked at his arm, leg and the blood dripping out of it "This world has freaking zombies?" Leo was close to exploding.
He could see his assailants rising from the floor like a scene from a horror movie. The deathly pale faces and deformed bodies were exactly how one would imagine a zombie.
Although leo had heard that Karos had all mythical existences, he would be lying if he thought that included these underworld fellows.
The first two zombies moved with slow but steady footsteps as leo could see his health dropping by the second. "Time to see what this power can actually do".
"Shadow Control: Restrain"
Leo naturally spoke his skills out loud as it aided his concentration as well as mana conservation.
The shadows under the feet of the two zombies suddenly expanded and looked like black spirits ready to take them back to hell. The shadows wrapped around their legs, forcing the zombies to fall to the floor.
Not waiting for them to get up, he used his speed to appear before them and struck them both directly in the head easily ending their lives.
[ You have killed level 2 zombie / + 1 attribute point ]
[ You have killed level 1 Zombie ]
two more had risen from the floor behind him, Leo turned around and uttered the same move
"Restrain". The shadows under their feet moved accordingly and did exactly as it did for the previous two and ended up killed by leo in the same manner.
Leo had been surrounded by approximately ten Zombies at once in his previous two moves that had taken 5 mana points each.
Although these things were slow, they were still lethal.
Pouring 25 mana points into a single wide spread attack that his imagination could muster at the moment.
"Raging Shadow Chains", a torrent of black chains appeared from the shadows under the sun in the clearing and started thrashing around violently, knocking all the Zombies of their feet.
[ You have killed level 3 zombie, Level up + 1 attribute point gained ]
[ You have killed level 2 zombie/ +1 attributes point ]
"That's it? just two kills" Leo's face that was pale because of the sunlight now looked very close to the Zombies as a result of two much use of mana. He clearly didn't think that last attack through.
still here had the upper hand as his slow opponents had been knocked down but before he could bounce, his already weak legs trembled.
[ Hp: 7/ Mana: 12 ]
"Shit" leo moved out of the clearing and ran back to the cover of the shades, the whole thing with sunlight was really affecting his fighting style. After his pale face regained some light he assigned his attribute points all into agility. Since his shadow manipulation was lacking, he needed to take out these enemies in a lesson risky manner.
The mindless Zombies followed into the forest, Leo standing on a tree branch high above realized he had been a fool. Who said he had to kill these things the straight forward way.
In the cool cover of the shades, leo moved with 12 points of agility making him about two times faster than he was before he turned into a demon. Aiming precisely at the back neck, the zombie that was closest to the tree had its spinal cord served and was sent flying and crashed against another tree.
Leo could feel the pain from the zombie virus slightly reduce, his health would improve as long as he killed these things. Showing no mercy like a bloodthirsty God of war, the originally slow zombies didn't even have the grave to turn their heads before they were mercilessly killed.
Leo finished off 14 zombies in this manner, his.
[ Level 4 Zombie defeated/ Level up, You have reached level 5/ +1 Attribute points ]
Leo originally wanted to consume the shadows but the shadows of the zombies were corrupted which he was informed via the system. He had gained 7 stat points to use freely and he definitely placed 5 into his ability and 2 into health.
His health was now at 60 and his ability at 17, unknowingly, leo was taking the part of an assassin.
Leo stopped to carver out the rune crystals of the zombies, over 23 crystals laid in his hands and he was starting to wonder how he would transport these things with him. He unwillingly found a good hiding place and temporarily buried his new stash and proceeded to continue hunting.
Leo continued hunting in this manner, sneaking up on a monster was even more helpful with the shadow concealing his footsteps. Leo kept track of his current record while killing from goblins to more zombies and Tasmadoor's of all kinds.
The attribute points constantly lessened until they didn't appear anymore no matter how much he killed. He confused this afternoon his 57th kill that all the monsters he had been facing were now level 5 or lower, the cannon folder of the standard rank.
After killing a level 6 orc creature, Leos eyes suddenly lit up. For the first time he saw something other than the usual Rune crystal.
[ You have obtained skills orb only generally found in level 6 monsters and above, chances of finding such an item are slim and will grow even slimmer the more you advance. By smashing the orb, you can learn a skill not placed in your main ability ]
Leo crushed the orb without the slightest hint of hesitation. The bright glowing Yellow orb enveloped his body and a flash of purple notifications flashed on his system interface.
[ Level 12 skill Demon Steps; You can defy the laws of gravity as long as there is a steady flow of 5 mana points per second. Evolution brings about better benefits and new skills ]
[ Conditions for Advancement; Conditions can be viewed upon reaching level 10 ]
Leo wanted to immediately test out this bad boy skill but was interrupted in the midst of his happy thoughts. A loud roar immediately sounded out which sent shoves all over the forest.
[ You have encountered a level 10 Monster rank beast ]
