RE:BORN Zombie

“The difficulty has just been pushed to the max now if it hadn’t before.” Victor said as he jumped over the tail sweep of the drake.

Luckily for Victor, the drake was slower than he was, so it was easy for him to dodge and manoeuvre himself around it without getting hit.

The moment he landed back on his feet, or rather just before his feet touched ground, the drake raised two of its front legs and stomped the ground causing the entire place to shake violently as though an earthquake was happening. This caused Victor to stumble as he was unable to get a strong foot hold, and in that moment he got slammed into the wall by the drake’s tail as it swept it back.

The strike, though a bit slow was very powerful, more than what Victor had expected. It wasn’t the pain that got him, not like he could feel any to begin with, it was the reduction in his total HP. The HP he lost was minimal, but it still reduced in the end.

With the impact against the wall, Victor was created a dent in it enough for his body to be fixed in place for a while before his body came off it, but before he slide down, the drake’s left head shot something blue towards Victor, but he was able to dodge its attack before it hit.

As he slid across the ground, he raised his head to look at the spot he was just in, and he could see that the attack from earlier was an ice attack, and the area around where the attack had hit was completely frozen.

‘Fire and ice alongside other skills…’_.

It was already hard enough facing off against such a hulking monster, but the number of effective skills it had was another problem. Plus Victor had to act like the skills affected him in order to fool the drake, which was limiting his choices.

As it was, there were only two ways to go about it. Victor would get close enough to the drake, at least enough to use his negative burst, then he would repeatedly try his best to break the shield around its body to see if it helps. There was the ‘Inferno Ring’, but that skill would have little to no effect on the drake since it is a fire based attack. There was no need to even try it.

..

[Negative Burst]

Send out a wave of negative energy that deals magical damage to surrounding targets. The closer the target to you, the more damage is dealt.

Level: MAX

Mana cost: 30

Radius: 15m

..

Victor went on with his plan, and relentlessly attacked the drake with the negative burst skill while continuously pounding the shield in hopes that it destroys, all while avoiding the drake’s attacks. He was sure the negative burst was doing damage, but just how much, he didn’t know. If the drake happened to have high magical resistance, then the skill wouldn’t be as effective as intended.

After a while of hitting the shield around the drake, it gave up and broke, leaving the drake exposed to Victor’s attack, which he wasted not the chance to attack. First with his fists, Victor fell unto the drake’s back with a powerful shattering punch that caused the drake’s legs to give out beneath it a little, making it stumble, then he followed with a series of direct punches, showing no technique as he poured out raw strength into the punches.

He leaped off the Drake’s back, and as he went past its side towards the ground, Victor did what any person would do and pulled out his great sword, the one he took from the warrior lady and stabbed it into the drake’s side, or at least he tried to do. On impact, the sword broke and was only able to make an almost none existent wound on its flesh.

It didn’t matter though, since the spot Victor was rushing towards was the underbelly. It was proven fact that the underbelly was one of the weakest part of any creature, so that was where he wanted to strike at.

As Victor landed under the drake, he brought out his axe and took a wide swing at the underside of drake, and sure enough he managed to cause a big injury to it this time, but then Victor was given a big surprise.

Exactly a second after he had injured the drake, the wound healed itself, and the rate at which it did so was nothing to joke about either. It was so fast that it almost did so in an instant. Doing this all the while as the drake was trying to maybe shake him off? Victor rushed to one of its legs and grabbed unto it, before he activated his skill ‘Touch of death,’ but nothing still, this time the drake continued as though nothing was being done to it.

With extremely tough skin and very high defence, coupled with the abnormal regenerative capability, this drake was just way too pimped. The existence of such a creature was just insane, Victor just couldn’t believe it. As far as he was concerned, killing it would be almost impossible to do with such regenerative capabilities. Despite these, there was always a way to kill something like this, he just had to find how.

As Victor had expected, the shield around the drake activated once again, and he was pushed out, and once again was unable to touch it. Now, no matter the attack he threw at it, it was futile, as in the grand scheme of things, he still couldn’t do anything to it.

..

“The fight is going well. After studying its skills and ways of attacking, I’ve created the perfect counter for it. Let’s see how it will do against my creation then.” A voice said from the darkness that filled a room.

“There’s no need to wait any further. It’s clear that he can’t do more. Time for the grand finale.”

..

Victor at this point had been fighting with the drake for more than an hour, but was still unable to change anything. He still couldn’t damage it.

The next time he had taken down the shield protecting the drake and tried another way he thought of to possibly kill it, the shield suddenly activated.

‘What is this? This, it’s similar to the shield it uses to protect itself, but this one is wider.’ Victor said in his mind while monitoring his surrounding and the drake.

Unlike the other times, this shield had trapped both Victor and the drake within the shield it created. Seeing this, Victor knew what this meant. It was clear what was about to happen.

‘With that look in its eyes, and the ability to regenerate at such terrifying speed, is it planning self detonation?’

Sure enough, just as Victor thought, the drake began to swell until it was at least half as big as it was originally, then something very out of the ordinary happened.

“Holy energy? From where?” Victor said in shock, before he calmed down again.

Seeing the situation before him, there was nothing he could do but say, “Ah fuck-“

BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
