Chapter 17: C H A P T E R S E B E N T I N
I'll try one last time if I can't still kill that zombie then I'll go back several days in time.
*several hours later*
passives check
Bio-electric armor check
electrical construct armor check
and my personal weapon the master bolt.
I'm on full alert now, just a second of losing my focus could cost my head.
last time I've tried doing all my efforts in the ground
but can that zombie fly?
my wings protruded as I shot through the skies, my eyesight was already inhumane as I look downwards.
in my calculation that zombie have 70 points in agility.
I don't know in its other aspect but it must atleast be 50.
what's terrifying about it, is its claws.
it's like it is made of adamantium or mithril, I don't know but it's incredibly hard, like super hard.
my electrical construct which is suppose to bear extreme amount of heat was nothing infront of that claws.
If I can kill it, I must aquire that claws maybe I can use that for something.
anyway let's focus on our current endeavour now.
I don't where it is but any second now I know that it will come, I don't know if it can jump this high in the clouds, if it can there's no way it will have mobility just like me.
I gripped my master bolt as I swing it as fast as I can in the ground.
I swing it in rapid successions as thick purple bolts of lightning descended and rain down destructions.
(*Insert SFX of lightning strikes*)
I just keep on swinging it for nearly a minute in hoping that I would somehow get it.
I halted my swings as I saw the ground.
this unknown phenomenon will go down the history of the new world.
the terrain was
it was...
was disfigured and destroyed beyond words.
churned in black, huge flames and even molten rock is showing.
the destruction is a mile wide, as my swings was not just in one place but random.
I look back in the ground and saw nothing.
did I kill it?
just before I get to celebrate a blur in the ground was coming fast in the distance.
after a few seconds It stops right below me.
'You must be kidding me.'
it is standing well and alive.
just as I was about to swing my master bolt it jolted and runs away.
oh the ground was particularly more darker now, oh why is the darker portion moving.
previously I felt gust of winds here in the sky but I felt that it suddenly got blocked away.
I knew now, I'm fucked.
I slowly look behind me as I saw a gigantic dragon approaching slowly towards me.
"You must be absolutely kidding me"
it just stares at me with its slit shaped eyes
I swung my master bolt at it, purple lightnings shot out of my weapon, but then at just a few meters before it reaches the dragon it hits a barrier, and the damage it did was.....
absolutely nothing
nothing at all
the dragon open its wide mouth as something color white condenses infront of its mouth.
the next second a blinding light covers my vision.
I slowly opened my eyes and not far away from me I saw a settlement with its people seems to be jumping.
I've grown tired of these scene already.
that Valuksha is definitely playing with me.
that blinding white light must be white flames.
I'm done, I'll go back to yesterday, I then proceed to overcharge myself with electricity and die.
I opened my eyes and saw myself in the first settlement I've across.
and find someone.
after searching for a few minutes I found him.
"Hey Theodore!"I called out as the youth turned around towards my direction.
"I have some questions"
"I only knew things regarding this Apocalypse if you want me to answer your assignment I don't know any of that."The youth blatantly said.
"Who would do assignments in these harsh times? of course it is about on this Apocalypse."
"So what is your question?"
"It is like this, what do you think is the reason if a mutated tier 2 zombie keep chasing the same person even though there's tens of people he can target?"I asked him.
he thinks for a few second before saying.
"That's easy."he said and continues.
"That person must be quite strong or high leveled already right?"
"He is."
"So let me ask you, what do we gain if we kill zombies?"
"Valuksha's essence."
"Yes and Valuksha's essence were able to increase our level and even gain stat points right?"
"Yes."
"Now do you think zombies cannot do it? we also have have Valuksha's essences once we kill zombies, what do you think is the reason that zombie chases the same person?"Theodore said.
my eyes lit up.
that's right
Zombies can also acquire Valuksha's essences and made them stronger.
so I think my huge amount of essences enter its zone then keeps eyeing me.
maybe it notices me when I started killing a lot of zombies after I left this place.
"I see thank you for the enlightenment brother."I said to Theodore.
"Hehe don't sweat it."Theodore said with a puff as he himself was confident with his wide array of knowledge in this Apocalypse.
on where did he knows all of this? no one knows.
anyway I go back again for one day.
I've once again try my luck on the first kill award.
the award was still skill energy, Albeit only half of it.
[Skill energy: 1900/1900]
500 is already huge.
and I go back again to try the first kill reward.
It said that I should've receive 200 skill energy but I reach the limiter for skill energy.
[You have reach the limiter for skill energy in the early phases of Apocalypse.]
[The limiter will be raises once humans reaches a certain threshold.]
[Skill energy: 2000/2000]
I see, so Valuksha won't let someone get too broken, and won't let humans get too strong? but then why in the fuck a literal dragon is roaming in the skies? not too mention that mother fucker who is pretty much invinsible on the ground.
Valuksha won't let someone too broken but then proceeded to give a blessing to my weapon able to cast indefinite amount of lightning strikes.
this is contradicting.
anyway let's go now.
I stepped out of the gate there are zombies but I just flew directly to the military settlement, but I took a route way longer and also far away from the settlements I've visited before.
I think I've entered its watched on one of the settlements I've visited that day and went to follow me into the military settlement.
I don't want to fight that zombie now, I'll just die
so I can only avoid him for now.
I didn't even kill zombies along the way even one.
I arrive and this time I didn't enter by a grand entrance.
I just introduce myself as a Rank A Special Ability user.
I just showed them how I slice a gun with a stick that I found somewhere in the ground.
well I just covered the stick with the weapon aura.
I heard that the ancient family in the Capital City is hiring Awakened beings with Special Abilities ranked from C, B and A.
for what reason? did you remember that someplaces in earth changes.
The Doranda forest before was a rain forest but now it became a forest full of snow.
The Doranda forest was rumored to be having all of its animal inhabitants in the stage of mutated tier 1.
and now they are hiring people to explore the forest and observe just how much it changes.
but I'm wondering if people will actually come, now that money isn't actually usable now, what is their means?
anyway I'll check that ancient family, is it the same as that guy Duan li?
it's really far from here as our city was located in the most unimportant place.
The Malkavian City is the capital city of our nation, if I travel by air it would take a few days with my top speed.
but right now...
*bang*
*bang*
I fired shots.
"incredible! amazing!" The sergeant said.
"Do you want me to recommend you a spot in the military."
I first held a gun a few minutes ago but I've already held an electrical constructed one.
this one however is a gun I haven't come across.
but I immediately mastered it in the span of a short few minutes.
with the help of my weapon master and increase in perception this is easy peasy
their sergeant here pales in comparison with my skills.
I answer his question with a smile.
"No thanks."
tomorrow I'll depart and proceed to go to the Capital City.
