Me! Zombie! Summoned to Another World! - Chapter 27: Blocked Again

Looking at the narrow environment around me and Regulus beside me, I finally felt a little safe.

However, I knew that I had to be extremely careful here and not expose myself.

That was because this was still the territory of the mountain goblins.

With the strength of the mountain goblin elites, even a powerful warrior like the knight King wouldn’t be able to defend against them not to mention a lich assistant like Regulus.

After all, the Lich clan was famous for their ‘brittle skin’.

However, there were bound to be many humans outside these few days. If I was discovered, I definitely wouldn’t be as lucky as this time.

I escaped from the hands of a light magister.

A magister was already a very high-level mage. The difficulty of training was very high, and there were many additional conditions.

Many mages were unable to break through to become magisters for their entire lives, and could only stay as high-level mages or intermediate mages.

This time, I was extremely lucky to have escaped from the hands of magisters, or light magisters.

I couldn’t guarantee that I would have such luck next time.

I can’t just go out.

An idea immediately appeared in my mind.

From the conversation between the two of them, I knew that there were many humans in the battlefield of the gods these few days. If I went out, there was a high chance that I would bump into these humans.

I must stay here for the next few days and not run around.

After thinking about the arrangements for the next few days, I immediately sat down and prepared to meditate.

This time, the light magister had given me too much pressure.

A light wave spell that was barely chanted almost blew me to death.

If not for the many books and materials on my back that helped me block this attack, I would definitely have died on the spot.

At that time, I had this feeling in my heart! If I didn’t block it, I would definitely die! ! !

With my strength as an intermediate mage, I really couldn’t muster up any thoughts of resistance. At that time, there was only one thought in my mind.

Escape! ! !

Moreover, the speed at which the light magister chased after me also gave me a fright.

What shocked me the most was the time of the Knight King’s death.

About twenty minutes…

One had to know that the Knight King’s defense was something that even swords couldn’t break through. It could even the poison of the magical creature, the swamp python, and the rocks of the mountain goblin elites could withstand it for a moment.

Even with such powerful defense the knight King was only able to withstand the attack of the light magister for about twenty minutes.

In these twenty minutes, there was still some time for the light master to chase and pursue. In other words, less than twenty minutes.

Magisters were so terrifying!

I originally thought that my cultivation speed was already very fast, and that my strength as an intermediate mage was strong enough.

But after being chased by a magister this time, I finally understood how ridiculous my thoughts were.

In this world filled with extraordinary power, intermediate mages were only cannon fodder of a higher level.

Only advanced mages could have a trace of resistance, and only magisters could be considered as the world’s high-level combat power.

Necromancers, as rats crossing the streets on the continent, had even higher requirements for their cultivation levels. And my current level of intermediate mage was far from enough.

I had to redouble my efforts in cultivation.

I need to become an advanced mage or even a magister as soon as possible to take revenge for the Knight King.

I closed my eyes, concentrated my mind, and started meditating.

Gray light dots representing the power of death appeared around me once again, and they started to float up and down with my spiritual power.

I concentrated my mind and started to absorb the light dots, but after absorbing them for a short while, I stopped with a frown.

There’s one less undead here, the Knight King. Why did the absorption speed slow down this much?’

My cultivation speed was based on the level and number of undead. The higher the level and number of undeads, the faster my cultivation speed would be.

That was because my zombie body was a type of undead creature. In terms of sensing the power of death, it was even more powerful than an ordinary necromancer. However, my body wasn’t a human body. When I absorbed the power of death, my body was like a sieve, and most of the power of death would leak out.

Now that the Knight King was dead, I only had Regulus by my side, so my cultivation speed would naturally be much slower.

Should I subdue a low-level undead first?

“Forget it, I’m about to break through to become a high-level mage. I’ll think about it after I break through.”

After making up my mind, I once again immersed myself in meditation, wanting to directly break through to become a high-level mage.

Just like that, three days later…

“Hu…”

A mountain goblin suddenly discovered that the death energy on the Stone Mountain where his tribe was located had become denser. It was so dense that the death energy even stirred up a gust of wind.

The death energy formed a vortex in the Stone Mountain. At the center of the Vortex was me, who was about to break through to become a high-level mage.

To break through to become a high-level mage, I needed to purify the magic energy in my body three times.

And after three days of non-stop training, the magic energy in my body had finally reached the final time of purification.

At this moment, I wanted to break through to become a high-level mage in one go.

I concentrated on absorbing the magic power from the outside world.

“AH…”

Suddenly, a scream came from outside the cave. The mountain goblins outside had noticed the commotion here and had started to come together to investigate.

Hearing the scream from outside, I frowned.

Not good.

But I still didn’t stop cultivating because I had reached a critical juncture. I couldn’t stop.

My only choice was to break through to become an advanced mage in one go.

“Ah…”

“Dong Dong Dong…”

The screams continued. The goblins outside even started to dig at the rocks blocking the entrance.

The situation was getting more and more critical. The goblins outside were about to enter.

“Pu…”

Finally, with a soft sound, I broke through to become an advanced mage.

“Creak…”

After breaking through, I didn’t have the time to celebrate. The stone that was blocking the entrance of the cave started to be slowly dug out.

Seeing that the stone was slowly being dug out, I turned around and shouted at the undead beside me.

“Regulus!”

I had no choice. I could only use Regulus, the only undead with me, stall for time.
