Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen - Chapter 39: Unexpected Surprise

Chapter 39: Unexpected Surprise

“Since all of you still have energy, go out in batches to kill zombies and level up. We won’t help you this time, but if you go out in groups and carefully fight while using your skills and weapons properly, you will progress fast,” Rin said.

Everyone was fired up.

“But you are leaders now, so shouldn’t you help us more?” Ben said with a worried expression. However, his internal thoughts were different as a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

Hearing that, Erix saw people looking at them.

‘This trash,’ Erix cursed.

Narrowing his eyes behind his mask, Erix snorted loudly, “Listen, everyone! We are not your babysitters. If you get food directly on your plate, you will not improve when these zombies and other mutated creatures get strong.”

“That’s right!” Rin said with a stern expression as she crossed her arms. “You must learn to fight and get stronger since you have skills and weapons!”

“These zombies and mutated creatures are getting more powerful as time passes. Yesterday, there were only level one to level three zombies, but now, all zombies are above level four and above, so you also have to get used to fighting to become powerful!”

“We understand! I am ready to go out. Who is with me?!” Hathor fervently shouted with a hint of excitement in his eyes. He wanted to get stronger like the group that stood before him.

‘This idiot!’ Ben looked at his son with a dark expression.

“I will come!”

“Let’s go!”

“Hathor, I will come with you,” Marisa said with clenched fists. She also wanted to get strong!

“Mom, let me go!”

Marisa broke her mother’s grip and ran towards her brother.

Over twenty people were ready to go as they walked towards the gate.

“Wait,” Erix loudly said to stop them before turning to give bodyguards. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.Bjn.

“Would you five go with them this time and supervise them?”

“No problem,” Ponty said with a smile while nodding. “You five also fought that frog and then helped everyone for hours. So please, take some rest. We still have energy and also recovered mana.”

“Everyone. Don’t get lost in the excitement, and stay cautious. A zombie scratch or their bite might turn you into a zombie, so make a proper formation to fight when going out,” Jonty shouted at the group of people raring to fight.

The people were happy they still decided to help by sending those five bodyguards to look out for them.

…

Erix, Rin, Isabella, Serina, and Lena went to Bunker A for a meeting. They stayed in Isabella’s room since Aaron had woken up as well.

“There’s nothing to talk about Dungeon. We’ll see when it comes in ten hours,” Erix said.

“So, let’s first open the treasure chests we got,” Erix said as he took out his blue patterned (rare) treasure chest and opened it.

[Berserk Veins (1st Tier passive skill): Increases your strength and agility by 5% upon getting injured. Up to 20% increase. The increment resets after not fighting for ten seconds.

The others also took out their Rare-grade treasure chests.

“Let’s hope one of us gets a skill about recovering limbs from these chests,” Isabella lightly sighed with a smile as she opened her blue patterned (rare) treasure chest first.

A scroll appeared from the chest, and she learned the skill before a stunned expression appeared on her face.

****

[ Regrow Spirit (1st Tier active skill): Manifests a spirit of life that can heal wounds and recover missing limbs or organs. ]

-Cost: 100 mana points.

-Cooldown: 1 day.

*****

“I-I got it. I got the skill that can regrow your leg,” Isabella said with elation as she looked at Erix with shining eyes.

Everyone was dumbfounded. None of them had expected to pop out a skill that could regrow limbs from their treasure chests, but there it was!

“Yes!” Rin cheered as she side-hugged Isabella. “Haha, you are our lucky charm.”

“Finally,” Erix laughed. “Lucky charm indeed.”

“Let’s heal you first,” Isabella said, gently smiling and feeling joyful at the development.

A light-green blob with cute eyes and white wings appeared as Isabella used her skill, and it flew towards Erix since Isabella used the skill on him.

The spirit of life entered Erix’s leg, where it was cut off before a burst of white-ish green motes appeared that completed Erix’s missing leg part.

Two seconds later, that leg-shaped mass of motes turned into the actual flesh!

“Done already?”

Erix moved his leg and did a few jumps before laughing in amazement, “Perfect! Thanks a lot, Isabella.”

Isabella nodded with a smile before she turned to Lena.

“This skill has a cooldown of one day. So, I will heal Mr. Toshin tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Isabella,” Lena said with a smile. Now her husband would be able to fight as well.

Serina was also glad as she smiled in joy.

Toshin’s situation was terrible as he struggled to fight with one leg. He also couldn’t fly like Erix, so his missing leg was a significant setback.

“Mum, I finished,” Aaron came out of the bathroom after he finished potty.

“Good boy. Now sit on the bed for a bit, okay? After that, we will get you to eat something,” Isabella gently said with a smile.

Erix, Rin, Serina, and Lena opened their blue patterned (rare) treasure chests one by one.

Erix got a 1st Tier active skill, Meteore Boost. It was a straightforward skill that boosted Erix’s next attack’s offensive power and speed depending on his Magic, Strength, and Agility stats.

Nexst, Rin got an item. It was a weapon, a sword! Now that she had two swords, she couldn’t help but get excited.

After all, she was a martial artist, but her mastery of sword arts was higher than her unarmed martial arts.

The sword was a rare-grade sword called Butcher’s Festive Sword.

*****

[Butcher’s Festive Sword (Rare-grade): A sword made from butcher demon’s bones and blood. It causes excessive bleeding to targets cut by it, giving them a bleed debuff that reduces their vitality at a higher rate.]

-Attack: 70

*****

Next, Lena opened her treasure chest and got a 1st Tier skill called Poison Sac.

[ Poison Sac (1st Tier active skill): Conjures a poison sac that automatically imbues your attacks with poison damage. Your next five attacks of any type will be poisoned to deal extra poison damage.

-The poison damage depends on your Magic and Health stats.

-Poisoned target’s wounds recover 20% slower for one minute.

]

“Nice skill, Mom. Using your crossbow to attack after activating this skill will deal powerful damage,” Serina said with a grin.

Afterward, Serina opened her treasure chest and got a passive skill that boosted her Agility and Health and increased her movement speed by 10%.

“Let’s use our Talent Stones now,” Rin eagerly said, taking out her Talent stone from her inventory with anticipation in her eyes.

[Random Talent Stone]

Use: Infuse 1 point of mana.

Rin infused mana, causing the mystical white stone to vanish into her hand.

[Congratulations, you have acquired…]
