RE:BORN Zombie - Chapter 134 Free Food II

134 Free Food II

The entire house of vampires Victor visited first after his arrival in the vampire world had vanished as Victor made sure to kill every single one of them. He only left the one that led him there initially, as he was still useful in pointing the way to other vampires and their location.

At that moment after taking care of every vampire in that house of vampires, Victor was still a vampire noble, and since he hadn’t eaten any of them, he wasn’t sure if he had enough evolution materials to advance. Not that he thought he would, since the number of evolution materials needed for the next evolution into a vampire lord was really much. He was sure that more bodies would be needed.

As for eating the vampires and gaining the needed evolution materials, Victor felt it would be a tedious process to do all that, so he sought a monster or beast that would provide him the needed anatomical qualities to be able to swallow the bodies without much hassle or stress.

Of course, the guide, Langscter, was the one who took Victor to a place where he was to find the most suitable animal. Victor was thinking of a large snake at first, as it was the animal with the best quality that fit the criteria, but Langscter had a better one in mind.

They had to take a detour from their journey towards the next vampires and headed into a nearby forest. Langscter had warned that the forest was home to some unusually powerful monsters, and since it had been a very long time since any one dared to enter the forest, Langscter couldn’t really say much about the regular location of monsters or anything in general. All he was sure of was that they would find the animal they were looking for near or around any sizable water body, and that they needed to watch their every side at any particular time at all.

As both moved through the forest, luck seemed to be n their side as no ‘powerful’ monster or beast attacked them really, and they were able to visit several water bodies before they got to the one that had the monster they were looking for around it.

Funny enough, the monster was called eye liner, unlike what Langscter had told him. This was actually the first time he had encountered a monster which the people didn’t know the correct name of. In the end Victor had fought some monsters that n one else had seen, and he didn’t really go around discussing his hunt, so he wouldn’t really know. Victor guessed the name of the monster was so because of unusually bid single eye that was positioned at the top of its head.

The monster looked like a lindworm, but way shorter, and one third of its body seemed to actually be it’s mouth. Though he didn’t see how it opened, he didn’t need to, he could already tell just how much would be able to go through, and it definitely was a good choice.

Without causing much of a scene, Victor threw a piece of rock, more like a stone, towards the eye liner, and he of course had his mark on it. To Victor’s surprise, the monster seemed to really be sensitive to sound, and in an instant moved it’s tail to smash the stone.

Victor was fast enough though, and before the stone was smashed, he teleported and grabbed the monster by the tail and immediately used his skill touch of death.

After eating the monster, Victor and Langscter left the forest and found a good place for them to stay for the time as Victor had to change forms and do his thing. He didn’t need his other form for the time being, and was very sure he wouldn’t be needing it, so Victor discarded it and made the eye liner his new form (second).

He had to wait for 14 hours before he could change forms and all, so he used that time to feast on the vampire bodies he was keeping in his system.

In this form he couldn’t see, but he could use the same method the monster used to see through vibrations, and surprisingly to him, he learnt something new that had never happened before, well except for the vampire race, but theirs was understandable.

In this form, he couldn’t see and could only use the subtle vibrations happening around him to paint a mental image of the surrounding, and after the initial vibration and he painted the picture, he would be able to retain that image in his mind for a while before it started to become less and less visible and detailed. In the end he could only make sense of things that moved through fluid, but he reckoned it was more useful in water.

The interesting thing about this ability though, was that it was not in his system as a skill. Normally it would appear as a passive skill, but this ability he gained didn’t. There really wasn’t much he could do about it, as even the system knew not why it was so.

After some time passed, Victor transformed back to his vampire form, and well enough, he no longer had access to the ability to sense offset of vibrations moving through the air and other things that moved within a certain range. It would have been a good ability, but as he already had something similar, it was no problem.

The thing now was that even after eating an entire vampire family, he still didn’t have enough material for the next evolution. Victor really began questioning how much he would need if there was a further evolution ahead. He even swallowed them whole, which meant he got more, but still. At least now he was close to the target figure.

“How many families are there in total? Those still around rather.” Victor asked Langscter as he contemplated on what to do.

If the vampires would not be enough, it would be a better idea to make more vampires using humans from earth. The human race had greatly reduced, but they were still more than a billion, so that was something to take out of still, no problem. Humans were like cockroaches to begin with, so they would survive.

To Victor’s question, Langscter answered, “As of the moment, there are 19 families left.”

“19 huh, if all of them are as much as those guys I just finished, they might just do it.”
