Chapter 40 - Quest Anomaly

Undead Resilience: The zombie's rotting flesh and bones make it surprisingly tough, allowing it to resist damage.

A passive skill that allows the zombie to keep fighting even when it has sustained significant damage.

Retching Vomit: The zombie spews forth a cloud of poisonous gas that poison and weaken its foes.

Montu was stunned to see such powerful zombies. He never saw a zombie like this in his previous life. He didn't knew zombies could become this strong. Although the zombies weren't high leveled compared to players of 'Destiny' but still he didn't hear anything about this.

He continued to venture deeper into the dungeon, encountering more powerful zombies with each passing moment. He carefully assessed each zombie's stats and skills, trying to figure out the best way to defeat them if necessary.

As he navigated through the maze-like corridors, Montu began to notice a change in the environment. The air grew colder, and the walls were slick with moisture. Strange whispers echoed through the tunnels, and he felt a sense of unease creeping up on him.

He soon realized that he had entered a new section of the dungeon, one that was darker and more foreboding than the previous sections. The zombies here were even stronger and more resilient than before, with grotesque mutations and deformities.

Some zombies had four arms while some had three and some even had two heads.

He thanked God for making him a zombie, or else he would have to fight these monstrosities.

Despite the increased danger, Montu pressed on, determined to complete the quest and claim the reward.

Finally, after another hour of running, Montu saw a light at the end of the tunnel. He had reached the end of the dungeon.

Montu stepped through the doorway and found himself in a large chamber.

There he saw a behemoth, at least 10 feet tall. It was feasting on corpses of animals and humans. It saw Montu, and waved at him to come closer.

Montu quickly checked its information.

"Holy Shit

How can a ghoul have mana."

He immediately knew that if the ghoul wanted to kill him, it could do that within seconds without much effort.

Montu went near the ghoul as it asked him to do. When he reached near the ghoul, it offered him the flesh, stretching a hand out to Montu.

Montu couldn't process the ghoul's thoughts but he was afraid of the its powers. So he took the flesh from the ghoul and stared at it.

The ghoul was devouring corpses one after another. It looked at Montu with innocence and signed him to eat while eating the flesh in its own hands.

[Quest Completed] (1/?)

[Reached the end of the dungeon

[Time taken: 6 hours, 39 minutes]

[Reward: Next quest unlocked]

Montu sighed while thinking, 'I expected an amazing reward for completing the quest, but all I get is a chain quest. Well then, let's get to the end of this.'

[Quest Triggered] (2/?)

[Eat flesh with the ghoul] (0/2kg)

[Time limit: 30 minutes][Reward: ????]

[Penalty: None]

'The system wants me to eat the flesh? But why?' Montu was thinking while staring at the ghoul.

Montu was hesitant to eat the flesh, but he knew he had to do it to complete the quest. He looked at the piece of flesh in his hand, and it looked revolting. But he had no other option.

The ghoul was looking at him with expectation, waiting for Montu to eat the flesh. Montu could feel the weight of the quest on his shoulders, and he knew he had to complete it.

He could see the innocence in the ghoul's eyes, and for some reason, he felt a strange sense of companionship with it. It seemed to have no ill intentions towards Montu.

He couldn't feel any disgust or taste as he was already dead, but he was still perplexed as to why the system wanted him to eat the flesh.

Montu brought the flesh to his mouth and took a small bite. He couldn't feel the taste, but he could feel its texture in his mouth. He felt a strange sensation in his mouth, but nothing more.

[0.5 Evolution points received]

Montu thought while eating 'What's this thing, Evolution Points? Seems to be connected to the EVOLUTION skill.' 

The ghoul looked at him with satisfaction, and Montu could sense that it was pleased with his compliance. He took another bite, and then another until he had eaten 2kg of flesh.

As he finished eating, he heard a voice in his head.

[Quest Completed] (2/?)

[Eat flesh with the ghoul] (2/2kg)

[Time taken: 22 minutes]

[Reward: Next quest unlocked]

Montu saw a yellow colored stone behind the ghoul, levitating in mid air above a pedestal.

Montu knew at once what it was, it was a dungeon core, which is the heart of a dungeon. He already cleared many dungeons in his past life. If the core is broken the dungeon stops functioning and spawning monsters.

Breaking the core gives the person who broke it rewards.

Montu checked its information with his skill.

Zombie Dungeon Core

While he was looking at the core, he heard the system notification.

'Intruders? They must have come to clear the dungeon. I may not be strong enough to defeat them myself.' Montu thought while getting up from his place. He asked the system 'Will the quest be cleared if it's done with the help of the zombies?'

[Yes, the quest will be cleared]
