RE:BORN Zombie

Victor descended, the markings which were normally just glowing a faint volcanic red lighting up all over like fiery streams of fire…

DOOM ! BOOM !

.

The ground beneath cracked in different places, and many chunks flew into the air. Victor had literally pierced the place, them after his crash into the ground, the entire surrounding exploded again like some kind of chain explosion, one after the other.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! …_.

The explosion was massive and wide covering the entire area and blowing dust, smoke and particles into the air obstructing everyone’s vision. Apart from the overall explosion, each individual explosion was also powerful, and at this point, the leader that had been standing some distance away from the fight actually started showing some interest.

About a minute passed without any significant movement, just people from within the smoked area trying to find their way out. As there was no air current in the cave, the smoke and dust did not leave by itself, meaning that till whatever was going to cause it to clear come, the entire place was like an area with smokescreen, the only problem was that it was against everyone.

.

What Victor had done when he decided to attack the group was not just pointless and out of desperation as they had thought. Using his newly acquired skill Remote Detonation, each time he paced his hand on the ground, he would infuse it with his mana as he activated the skill, leaving that place as a time bomb ready to be detonated at any time.

After dancing around the place and leaving several tens of spots filled with his explosive mana, he broke destroyed the area to stun the group, with the hopes of shaking them a bit and possibly destabilizing them enough for their magic o be released. For this plan to work, he made sure to place more explosives near the caster of this spell, the mage type, and near the ‘priestess’ using holy magic.

When he broke the ground and caused chunks of rocks pieces to fly around, it just helped spread the area of effect, and set a good stage for the chain detonation and explosions, though it would still have been possible even without shattering the place. Victor just wanted to throw them off a bit to begin with.

‘This should be good enough, right? Wonder if it worked.’ Victor said in his mind.

During the explosion, he teleported himself outside the range of the explosion, as he knew he couldn’t regenerate any body part if any was to come off. With the smoke screen now, he was sure that everyone inside couldn’t tell their forwards or backwards. So, he dashed in.

He made sure to leave a mark for his teleportation somewhere behind in a strategic place where the vision of their leader wouldn’t be able to reach after the explosion. After that, he just quietly went into the smoke covered area, and just as he had thought, the plan was a success, and the barrier covering and protecting their bodies was gone, and they were now vulnerable.

Though Victor’s vision was also bad within the cloud of dust and smoke, his senses still worked very well, and again, just like he had thought, it was better than that of the humans, so they couldn’t find their way as easily as him.

Without wasting much time, he moved first to the one closest to him, and before that one could even alarm the others or even make any weird sounds, his body fell to the ground, but Victor caught him before it he hit the ground. Moving from that target, he headed to next closest one and did the same. Before a minute had passed, he had already silently killed every single member of the team that was within the dust and smoke.

.

“Hey, make that cloud of dust get away.” The leader said to the person beside him.

“Yes sir.”

The one beside him moved down, and then took out a large metal fan. Using it, she blew away the cloud of dust and smoke, well, most of it.

Victor standing in the midst of the cloud of dust just stood there like he had been waiting for sometime.

“You filt.”

‘Arc Human, huh? Let’s see the difference they’ll show.’ Victor said in his mind while observing the lady’s actions.

It was safe to say that they still thought of him to be human at this point. It wasn’t unnatural for hunters to have falling out in dungeons and gates, in fact it would be the perfect place since it couldn’t be properly supervised by the outside authorities.

Victor didn’t care about what they thought though, it wouldn’t matter after they died anyway. After a few seconds of staring at each other, it was evident that Victor was not going to make the first move, so the lady took the initiative to attack first.

She scoffed as she launched herself forward towards Victor with a great speed, but Victor was still able to follow her movements well, and was not at all threatened by it. She attacked him with the fan first launching a vertical strike on him, which he easily evaded.

Again, he wasn’t going to scorch their bodies, so he had to use other means that would not spoil the flesh. Victor jumped back some metres to distance himself away from her. He had many opportunities to kill her using touch of death, but he wanted to see more of why they were Ark Humans.

He waited for her to use her ability, but he never saw her use anything like such, ad after a few minutes of engaging her, he was starting to think that she wouldn’t show him anything. Over the short period of time they fought, the lady had used a total of seven different weapons, some of the Victor had never even seen before or knew if they were actual weapons or just custom made. At this point, he was starting to think her ability was some sort of weapon mastery or similar.
