Chapter 28 - Devil's Mask

The torture for Vulture did not last until the night as Damian said.

The reason was not that the vulture failed to hold on, or that Damian's torture technique was not good and he killed the person in advance.

Even if your physique is only 20 or 30 points, even if you cannot become a superman, as long as you are not fatally injured and slowly tortured, your vitality is still very strong.

In his previous life, Damian captured a member of the protagonist group. He cut his flesh and blood every day for some information, and tortured him for more than a month without killing him. Although there were factors that Damian deliberately preserved his life, it cannot be denied that the hero's sidekick had the tenacity of vitality brought about by high constitution.

The main reason why Damian let the vulture go was that halfway through the torture, the guy not only couldn't control his peeing, he couldn't even control shitting himself. 

It was all super messy and disgusting, so Damian kicked him on the stool and threw downstairs, watching with his own eyes as he was devoured by zombies. Before going down and killing that zombie too. 

(Again, never trust fate.) 

After that, Damian did not leave in a hurry, but searched inside the stronghold.

I have to say that even though these people are not of high level, they still have plenty of supplies. Of course, Damian will definitely look down on these, as he doesn't lack them.

What Damian really wanted to find was equipment.

Although his equipment is very good, and the probability that these people have high-quality equipment is also very small.

But it is not unique gold equipment that is useful to Damian. He has many equipment pieces that are still empty. For example, headwear, pendants, masks, rings, bracelet etc.

Even if these people's equipment is rubbish, it's good if their attributes can be improved a little. Anyway, the search won't waste much time, and the equipment will be free of charge.

In ten minutes, Damian found six pieces of useful equipment in the stronghold.

A pendant hanging around the waist, silver quality, increases spirit by five points and reduces long-range attack damage by 2%.

A bronze-grade bow and two bronze quivers filled with forty arrows. 

Damian happened to be looking for a normal bow and arrow to practice archery proficiency in advance because of the legendary Elf King's Bow. Now he has saved a lot of things and doesn't have to go find an archery studio.

There are also two rings and a full face mask.

The rings are bronze level, one increases strength by two points, and the other increases agility by two points.

The quality of the final mask is surprisingly good.

[Equipment: Devil's Mask

Quality: gold

Attribute: Spirit +5

Additional skills-

-1) Drain: Attacking the enemy can slightly restore the holder's injuries.]

The 5 points of spirit improvement can be ignored. The focus is on the additional skills. According to the vocabulary explanation in the game, to put it simply, this is an equipment with blood-sucking properties.

This characteristic usually only appears on suit effects or legendary artifacts. It is extremely rare to appear on gold-quality items.

The mask is completely black, with several red lines on it, like traces of blood flowing through it. There are two small white fang marks at the corners of the mask's mouth, and a prismatic gemstone is inlaid on the forehead of the mask, which looks like a ferocious devil's third eye , making the entire mask look particularly terrifying.

Damian put on the mask, covering his entire face.

He walked to the broken floor-to-ceiling window. It was already dark. The blood moon turned the world red, and the roars of zombies kept coming.

Damian was equipped with two pieces of dark equipment. Although he could still only see clearly beyond five meters, it was enough for him to take risks at night.

The zombie's level was just level 5, with all attributes at 30 points. After adding the darkness buff, , it reached 45 points, which was not a problem at all.

Damian kicked a piece of glass down. Listening to the roars of the zombies below, he locked a spot where there was no movement, cut a wound on his arm with a knife, and jumped down immediately.

At the height of the fourth floor, Damian no longer needs to use the Featherfall skill with his current physique.

The moment he landed, he swept away the two zombies next to him.

"Roar!"

The roar of zombies sounded on the right. Damian waved his sword, and two ice crystals condensed in the air and shot out.

The energy bomb skill has been upgraded to level 5. In addition to increasing the mental damage, it also reduced the cooling time by three seconds and increased the number of ice crystals he can shoot.

[Experience +12]

[Experience +12]

Two experience-increasing prompts popped up. Damian relied on a mental value that was nearly three times that of a zombie's body. In addition, the energy bullet was raised to level 5, and after the energy bullet was transformed into ice crystals, the effective winter's wrath added 70% ice attribute damage. , you can finally kill zombies instantly with this skill.

"blow."

A black shadow suddenly struck him from the upper right. But the next moment, the shadow split into two.

It was a zombie cat with an agility of over 70. It can be considered a mini-boss to others, but it was really vulnerable for him. 

Damian looked at the wound made on his hand to test the mask. It was now completely healed, with not even a shallow scar, as if he had never been injured.

I don't know if the mask's blood-sucking properties are too low. Or it's because the zombies are too weak and it can't absorb much blood. But it took five zombies to heal that little injury. 

"Roar!"

A zombie with swollen muscles attacked from the side, looking like a trash truck. Wherever it passed, the ground shook. No matter what it was, it would be smashed in front of it. 

However, one hand easily blocked it, and then the cold blade cut off its head at an incredible speed.

[Experience +25.]

The level of the zombies has been raised, and a small number of mutant zombies have begun to appear, but now they only have the most basic body modification.

For example, the muscles are stronger, the strength is greater, the claws grow, and so on.

It is the most basic mutant zombie, slightly weaker than those beast zombies of the same level.

In the following time, Damian rushed into the rioting zombies and started killing. Under the violent roars of the zombies, the survivors in the nearby area trembled.

They couldn't see anything, let alone what was happening outside, so they could only shrink their bodies smaller and pray for God's blessing.

Damian's killing lasted for three hours. After that, he randomly found a building and climbed into the high floor room through the balcony outside.

While eating his dinner, he thought about the battle just now. The visual range of five meters in night is still a little difficult.

After the number of zombies increased, if sword's attack distance was not long enough, he would definitely be injured.

Although there is no problem for the time being, for future considerations, he should still collect some darkness equipment. If he has time in the future, he can go back to the previous dungeon and refresh it a few times.

After Damian finished dinner, he washed his hair and face in the bathroom. 

There is no running water now, but Damian's supply cards are so many that they can no longer be stored.

In the last days, using mineral water to wash your hair may seem like a luxury, but if you don't use it, you'll have to throw it away.

Damian grabbed a towel and dried his hair, feeling the freshness on his head, and let out a contented sigh.

"Much more comfortable." He said, staring at the wall where he made initials for the people to kill and cut off a name for good.
