Undead Tyrant: Evolving from a Skeleton - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Zombie Awakening, Corrosive Venom!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

The constitution of defense was the specialty of the zombie race.

Even if an elite zombie stood there motionlessly, it would take Bruce a long time to kill it, and it would consume a huge amount of strength, not to mention this ferocious zombie that was about to enter the warrior level.

He was certain that although his all-out attack might not be able to hurt this ferocious zombie, it would definitely be able to wake it up from its slumber.

He wanted to kill it, but he didn’t want to wake it up.

Bruce thought of a method.

[ devour ] the enslavement function of his talent!

He couldn’t enslave zombies. All the zombies that were devoured by his talent would have their heads blown off. It was the same as being killed by him.

He would be instantly killed in a head-on confrontation.

It would be hard to kill him even if he waited for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The only method he could think of was to use the enslavement function of his [ devour ] talent to blow up the head of this ferocious zombie.

If he succeeded, he would reap a huge harvest.

If he failed, he could only let his skeleton underlings block the enemy and take the opportunity to escape.

He covered his gray-white bone palm on the forehead of the ferocious zombie, and Bruce activated his [ devour ] talent.

The enslavement began.

When the unknown energy was pouring into the fierce zombie from his body, Bruce stared at the zombie, observing all of its movements, ready to retreat at any time.

Fortunately, it seemed that because the black crystal ball was still pouring the aura of death into the fierce zombie’s body, the zombie only moved slightly and continued to sleep.

The enslavement continued.

Perhaps it was because the enslavement time this time was exceptionally long, and Bruce felt the complete process of enslavement for the first time.

An unknown energy flowed out.

He could even control the direction of this energy devouring.

Naturally, Bruce chose his four limbs, allowing this energy to first devour the limbs of the ferocious zombie, preventing it from waking up halfway and killing him with a casual strike.

Time passed.

Slowly, when the limbs of the ferocious zombie were all devoured, the unknown energy began to devour its body.

Finally, it was the head.

When the unknown energy devoured the four limbs, the ferocious zombie did not notice it. When the unknown energy devoured the body, the ferocious zombie only moved slightly.

When the body was completely devoured, the unknown energy began to spread towards the head.

Suddenly, the ferocious zombie opened its eyes.

Roar!

Along with the terrifying aura that erupted, a roar filled with a sense of oppression erupted from the ferocious zombie’s mouth.

It was struggling.

It struggled as if it wanted to chase away the unknown energy that was devouring its body.

However, the unknown energy had completely devoured its limbs and body. In this war of enslavement and resistance against enslavement, the ferocious zombie was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Roar!

Realizing the outcome it was about to face, the ferocious zombie roared again.

However, this time, it was not venting its anger.

Following this roar, the four extremely weak elite zombies that were still providing it with the aura of death woke up!

They were free from the shackles.

They struggled to rush over.

The four elite zombies woke up, and the evolved skeletons that had already surrounded them began to attack the four elite zombies under Bruce’s orders.

They did not want to kill them. They only wanted to trap them and not let them interfere with Bruce’s enslavement.

If it was under normal circumstances, these four elite zombies would not be able to stop the remaining evolved skeletons. However, after being continuously extracted by the dark altar, these four elite zombies were about to fall to the advanced level!

They were not much stronger than the advanced skeletons in other aspects, other than their pride in defense.

After charging again and again, it was difficult for them to break out of the skeletons’ encirclement.

The elite zombies were anxious.

Roar!

Following a low roar, an elite zombie gave up on charging and ignored the advanced skeletons that were attacking it. A mouthful of dark-green poison shot out from its mouth towards Bruce’s direction.

It was corrosive poison, the second skill of an elite zombie.

Without Bruce’s command, when the poison attacked, a skeleton warrior rushed out from Bruce’s side and welcomed the dark-green poison.

The skeleton sword slashed out and split the poison into two.

The poison that was split into two did not slow down, and it was directly shot at the skeleton warrior.

Along with a large amount of white smoke rising, in an extremely short period of time, the skeleton warrior’s bones were completely corroded by the poison and broke apart.

A mouthful of corrosive poison crippled one of Bruce’s skeleton warrior underlings.

The first elite zombie’s spitting was only the beginning.

Following closely behind this zombie, the remaining three elite zombies also started spitting poison, attempting to rescue the fierce zombie.

It wasn’t just the elite zombies. Bruce was also anxious.

At this rate, even if he successfully exploded the ferocious zombie’s head, the skeleton underlings that he had painstakingly collected would all be lost in the corrosive venom of the elite zombies!

His heart was filled with hatred.

Letting the skeleton underlings continue to protect him, Bruce focused all his attention and controlled the unknown energy, clenching his teeth as he devoured the energy of the ferocious zombie’s head.

Ten seconds…

Twenty seconds…

Fifty seconds…

One minute!

After a full minute and a half, he finally controlled the unknown energy to rush into the ferocious zombie’s head and let it spread towards its brain!

At this moment, as if he had touched something, the ferocious zombie’s head exploded!

—

“Enslavement failed.”

“You killed the zombie.”

“You gained 5,000 experience points.”

“You obtained the class change information of the elite class template, zombie.”

—

He did not bother to check the information that was refreshed on the attributes panel.

The moment the head of the ferocious zombie exploded, Bruce immediately held the transformed skeleton blade and charged towards the remaining four elite zombies.

Chi!

Along with the sharp sound of the blade tearing through the air, the skeleton blade in Bruce’s hand slashed down heavily, decapitating the last elite zombie and killing it.

After all, it was extremely weak. These four elite zombies could block the continuous attacks of the evolved skeletons, but they could not block the sharp edge of the skeleton blade.

The battle ended.

The result was extremely miserable.

During the two minutes of enslavement time (single-fingered head) , the four elite zombies spat out poison several times consecutively, causing Bruce’s skeleton underlings to suffer heavy losses.

Only eight of them were still in good condition.

The remaining skeleton underlings either died in the previous battle or were corroded and melted by the poisonous spit, turning into charred bones.

Fortunately, he won.

The battle was over.

It was time to reap the rewards!
