Joseph now had 2 skills that could help him out in this situation the pain was worth it at least he wouldn't end up dead in Mexico before eating any food.
Joseph checked his skills one last time the one that would be the most useful now would be Shapeshifting he could shapeshift into a small creature and run away, But Joseph know this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to gather evolution materials.
Running away from this chance would hunt him later on.
Joseph's plan was simple he would rush to the backline and deal with the Sorceress as fast as possible.
Joseph activated Holy shroud and shapeshifted into an elephant a notification popped up asking him whether he wanted to shapeshift in human size or the original size of the animal this function wasn't stated in the skill description which shocked Joseph, he choose the original size and jumped down the building.
The impact squished many first rank zombies after knowing that he could change the size of the animal he wanted to shapeshift he choose the strongest creature on earth Dung Beetle the same notification asked whether he wanted to be the original size or human size he chose the human size.
After becoming a zombie now Joseph was a proud Dung beetle. He went on a rampage and rammed his way through the battlefield.
But the leftover Conjurers combined with Sorceress were tougher to deal with than he originally thought.
Even if he now was strong enough to pull 1.141 times his bodyweight, magic was a force to be reckoned with he changed his shape one more time this time he turned into a falcon he flew up high to the sky and dodged all of the magic skills aimed at him.
Thanks to the rank of the skill he didn't have any hard time adapting to his new bodies it felt as if he was a dung beetle for a lifetime.
The sorceress was now directly under him he tried to change to an Antarctic blue whale the biggest creature on earth but to his surprise, he was still weaker than an Antarctic blue whale.
he choose the elephant one more time and let gravity do its job Sorceress hastily dodged the incoming comet. Joseph was now low on mana he had to finish this fast.
15 warriors surrounded the beauty keeping Joseph away, Joseph used his new skill and took control over 10 of them they attacked the sorceress and the other Warriors but Sorceress managed to run away one more time Joseph released a warrior and took control over a Conjurer that used support magic, and buffed himself.
He reached within 20 meters of Sorceress and used his last bit of mana to activate Ox Assail, He rushed faster than ever and delivered a superman punch to the slippery princess sending her flying several meters.
Joseph charged her and while she was down he tried to kill her she put up a barrier to block Joseph's incoming strikes, Joseph didn't stop and hit her shield till it shattered into pieces.
Joseph grabbed the Sorceress by her neck and said it's my win and killed her, old style.
to his surprise, other zombies were still rushing him.
He wasn't tired physically but he had overused his mana for the first time Joseph felt a headache and it was as if his head was being split apart.
Joseph took control over the 10 strongest zombie of the bunch and used them to protect himself while he recovered, to his surprise the zombies were a big help they protect Joseph with all their might till they died, he then choose another 10 this went on till he had regenerated over 30 mana and could finally relax.
Joseph now could clean up the Polanco district, he killed as many as he could and continued till there were no zombies left.
=============
*ding*
Congratulations you have cleaned up the Polanco district and killed,
1 Third rank Zombies
347 Second rank Zombies
5834 First rank Zombies
7892 Zombie
10476 Lesser Zombie
=============
[Shut up third party b**tard. can I choose your rewards? can I?]
Godiva's excitement left Joseph with no choice but to let her handle it, the most exciting and fun part for Godiva was when she could calculate and reward Joseph after he had done something.
[You gained quite a big haul this time]
[Evolution points: 8,146,976
Doom Coins: 8,482,960
And a rare grade item right now you don't need armour thanks to Baldur's blessing and your holy shroud I would say you lack weapon your Gauntlets are good for CQC and one on one fights but in situations where you need to fight hundreds of enemies you need a better weapon]
Wait, gauntlets? oh, sh*t I forgot those gauntlets that I got isn't it supposed to rank up by now?
Joseph completely had forgotten about the Gauntlets since Godiva had concealed them.
[Well yeah they did, didn't you realize how powerful your punches have become, it's now at level 3 halfway to 4, at first it needed 1000 enemies then 10000 and now for level 4 25000, You killed 2948 opponents in Tokyo and 24,203 in Mexico in total, you have killed 27,151 enemies with your gauntlets.]
Joseph asked Godiva to show him the current Stats of the Gauntlets.
=============
Items name: Gauntlets of an unknown Brawler.
Durability: x/x
Grade: Rare
Properties: Increases STR by 50
, VIT by 25 and DEF by 35.
CURRENT PROGRESS:16,151/25,000
=============
Indeed Gauntlets have progressed a lot the grade is now higher and the stats it gives Joseph are higher than they used to be.
While Joseph was looking at his Gauntlets Godiva was choosing a weapon that he could use.
in CQC Joseph didn't have any problems and thanks to his shapeshifting skill he just had to have a higher mastery on it than he would be able to change only a part of his body to claws, pincers, etc.
so she choose him a long-range weapon it was a simple recurve bow that looked like any you could find in the market, however it wasn't normal in the slightest.
============
ULLR's Recurve bow:
It was the first bow that ULLR used although it looks normal its enchanted and shoots faster and longer than most high-quality bows.
base damage:350
Range: 700 to 1000
increased damage upon distance travelled: after 200 meters each 5 meters deals +1 damage.
Skill: Charged release.
Charged release: By infusing mana you can increase the range and damage dealt by each shot DMG/RANGE: depends on the amount of mana used.
=================
Joseph never had used bows before but Godiva assured him that it was ok he can use Bows thanks to Advanced Martial Arts, skill and he could purchase arrows from the system.
Joseph asked Godiva how many Evolution points he had and she directly showed Joseph.
=========
Evolution points: 9,534,876/11,520,000
=========
Joseph was roughly 2 million short so he asked Godiva how many Doom coins he needs to buy the rest, Godiva told him that each evolution point is sold 10 coins in the system.
Joseph was not planning to pay 20mill to just evolve he had money but not enough to toss around like it's nothing.
Joseph decided to go around Mexico City and kill as many zombies as he can to evolve before continuing he didn't want to get stuck in a similar situation
