Chen Shu's original body was that of a vampire now, so he did not have a thermal signature like living, just that, he uses the magma-type mana to flow inside him and keep his temperature of that of a human.
Which was an essential key, that he was able to keep his identity as a human, or else his cold body true nature could have blown his cover as a human long ago.
That is why in the truest sense, Mai and Spill are the ones he can truly trust on. Since both of them are the only ones, aware of the fact that he was a vampire.
Spill, who was a demonic beast, has no qualm about Chen Shu's existence, which did not come as a shock to her.
Since an existence like her can also exist, why can't be there other races, who are kind and socialize just like humans can? Though, she even respects Chen Shu's broad-mindedness, to be able to treat every species like that.
Chen Shu jumped out and disappeared from that place, since using the skill Night Reign, his speed has almost become 4 times faster than normal.
It was normal, for a person even in the 3rd stage of the mana collecting realm, to be not able to perceive such fast changes.
Chen Shu appeared at the side of the tree, as he looked, at the walking zombie, which was a meter away from him.
He took out his sword and took a deep breath, where his skill kicked in making him super fast, while with a single sidestep, he appeared next to that zombie. His sword cut through its neck within that instant.
[Night Reign: Shadow movement (92/100)±]
It was a silent kill where Chen Shu used his spatial bag to store the body before it could fall down.
As he return to the side of the tree, he was standing behind and jumped to the branch without making any noise.
Looking inside his storage, he found an icon where a new option appeared making Chen Shu stun at the look. While he thought of using try using that option later on. Which is something, he would be looking forward to in the future.
Looking closely, Chen Shu jumped from one branch to another silently, without disturbing the environment.
Since with windy air, the slight movement of the branch was concealed quite nicely.
None of the zombies were able to detect the motion of an unknown enemy in their region, where Chen Shu had appeared at the top of a tree, whose below three zombies were walking aimlessly.
Jumping down from the branch, while unsheathing that sword in a single moment, with no sign of wasted movement.
[Night Reign: Shadow movement (93/100)±]
Chen Shu, who had already beheaded the three Zombies, was able to activate Night Reign skill and vanished without leaving behind any traces.
Twenty zombies turned their heads toward, the place Chen Shu, had killed those three zombies, still could not find any trace of the movement or dead body.
They were not able to process, about, what had happened in the duration. To which, they just turned around and started to walk around aimlessly as ever.
Zombies do not have any intelligence regarding perceiving the threat like Chen Shu. After all, these creature relies on their extraordinary keen perception toward the thermal sign and sense of smell.
Making Chen Shu skill a bain for zombies at the period of the night, due to its speed and reflex and along with Vampire stats and Chen Shu unsheathing technique.
All of those skills in his arsenal and perfect setting made Chen Shu, become the assassin from his world. Not to say, he was not using the skill to the very best of his ability, given it was a passive skill.
If he could turn this into his active skill, Chen Shu's ability will become deadlier than it is already.
So Chen Shu has already thought about what to work further on. He will work toward a sword skill too, which can work as an AoE skill. Or, he could replace those AoE skills with some magic skill, which has large AoE destruction parameters with less effort.

[Night Reign: Shadow movement (97/100)±]
[Night Reign: Shadow movement (98/100)±]
[Night Reign: Shadow movement (99/100)±]
Finally, looking at the remaining 20 zombies, where he had collected around 120 to 130 zombies' bodies inside his spatial bag.
Chen Shu was finally, ready to finish it up soon, where he did not notice was the astonishment, the remaining guys' from the bus felt while looking at him killing them all.
They never doubted about Chen Shu killing them all. But astonish them the most was efficiency, by which he killed, them all without letting them notice about his existence.
[Sword Unsheath: First Secret Stanza, Moonlight Dip.]
Chen Shu appeared in front of the group of 2 zombies, where his sword was unsheathed and sheath back in a fluid action.
Alerting the remaining zombies who rushed at Chen Shu, to which a smile appeared on Chen Shu's smile. When he heard a notification.
[Night Reign: Shadow movement (100/100)±] [Upgrading]
[Gaining one Active Skill]
[Shadow Bind]
[Bind the enemy of the user in a certain area for a minute, if an opponent is weaker then host current realm. The enemy will be bound by the shadow forever. Using Darkness type mana from the surrounding until sun rays are exposed to the Bind.]
[Shadow Bound]
Chen Shu used his skill to burst with shadows, that extended through from the surrounding, rendering all the zombies immobile, at which his lightning-fast attack was like a live- nightmare for those zombies.
Where the only thing they were able to do was to look at their approaching death as they all fall headless onto the ground.
Painting the whole area with a crimson painting.
After he was done storing all the body, Chen Shu looked around the area, where a small thin road was moving toward the city they were about to head down to.
Since the danger was finished by him, he looked toward the mountain and waved his hand. To which, Ren drove the bus, while Colt also started to drive his own bus toward Chen Shu.
"We all will stay here tonight! Given the zombies around this place, could have wandered around to this place. While I will use smell masking spray to cover the bloody mess around."
Chen Shu spoke as he pointed toward a certain place, which seemed to be covered perfectly for them to station their bus inside.
Taking out the blankets, and using the interior of the bus, all of them started to head inside to sleep silently. After all, they had been traveling non-stop for the last few days.
Though, they have been switching around to drive. Still, Colt has been driving through all the way without any rest. Taking that into consideration, Chen Shu decided to sleep the night at this place.
After all, he had already searched the area around 20km in diameter for any threat, though he found some, it was probably the sign of animal, given they had been stationary all this time.
Probably because they could have been sleeping just like them, unlike zombies, mutated animals need to rest around too.
[Night Reign: shadow movement Class 1 (0/100)±]
[Can activate initiate skill of vampire of shadow element; Achieving a burst of momentum even in the daylight for a minute]
[Night Reign: Shadow movement (mastered)]
Looking at the skills, where the original skill remains as same as before, a new active skill in for of class 1 appeared. To which Chen Shu can cast this skill, even in daylight for a single minute. But Chen Shu's smile was much bigger than before, given this skill was something he had hoped for from before.
After all, using this skill, he has so many ideas to enhance his strength. Which he will be trying in the future. Where Chen Shu, looked inside his storage and smiled at the stored corpses of zombies.
Given over it 'Compase.' named option has appeared, to which, Chen Shu focused. While a new pop-up appeared in front of his eyes.
[Sword Mold]
[Spear Mold]
[Bow Mold]
...
[Gun Mold]
Chen Shu selected Bow mold for a second, where the number written on corpses changed from 157 to 156 and a new slot of his inventory was filled with a bow-shaped bone.
Chen Shu blinked, as he thought inside his mind, 'When was advance smithing this easy to begin with, did my system hire a smith.' Since the delicate look of the bow was giving a unique charm to the mold of that weapon.
Chen Shu was dazed, as he saw so many options, he can select to mold those bones into. While he found a 'basic.' term written over the top of every mold he can create.
Finally, he looked at the sword mold, as he tried to make one too. To which a good katana-shaped sword appeared in the inventory. As he took out the mold of the sword, finding the bone to be extremely sharp, where an option appeared.
[Find the material to complete the basic sword]
At which, Chen Shu saw the price of the lowest quality basic sword material name, Refine Iron, and the cost of it caused, Chen Shu to be dumbfounded.
[Refine Iron]
[Iron tempered by mana and sky radiance]
[Cost :- 10,000 Lsp]
