The Demon Lord Reborn
Chapter 05: The zombies

Astaroth ran fiercely through the bushes while occasionally turning his head back. Meanwhile, with great difficulty, Peace ran after Astaroth who was running extremely fast.

“Oi! How much is your Agility, anyway? Looks like you're really fast.” Peace asked in surprise while continuing to follow Astaroth without paying attention around.

“Agility-ku, yes... Only 30, anyway. And my speed limit is only as fast as light. Unlike the number 1 player in the world of Vanaheim, so fast, he can freely go to the future and the past, purely using the speed he has. His name is Spacetime.” Astaroth replied as he turned his head back, towards Peace, then increased his speed, so that Peace immediately fell behind. A few seconds later, he felt that there was something large before him at the moment, without thinking much, he immediately turned his head back towards the front.

Surprised, Astaroth stopped running to look at the huge figure from the ground up. The figure was not wearing footwear and clothes, he only used pants made of leather and fur with skull head ornaments made of bones on the left and right sides. His skin was green with blue eyes and a hideous face with sharp teeth.

Meanwhile, Peace was still trying to run up to Astaroth by following his trail imprinted on the ground, but suddenly, Emerald's voice appeared.

[Warning! Zombie, a level 7 creature was detected and had met with Astaroth halfway. Zombies have 3 Skills, Skill level B, Adaptation, which makes it adaptable in all circumstances and become strong at all times, including when fighting. Skill level B, Eternal, This skill makes Zombies can not die by age. B-level skill, Grow, This skill makes Zombies can regenerate their bodies indefinitely.]

“Wah, the Skill is strong and many, yes... But, I must immediately save Astaroth who must be scared. Although, this is all his own fault.” Peace said as he continued running. A few seconds later, when Peace finally reached the location of Astaroth, Peace saw Astaroth who looked frightened in front of Zombie.

“Zombie!? Damn it... We are in danger, they are different from the rest, they have many advantages from monsters in general. They will not die by age and they can also regenerate their own body, in other words, if the hand is cut off, with a flash the hand will again grow as it was.” Said Astaroth with fear who already knew the existence of Peace.

“I already know. By the way, why is his body so big, huh? Even as tall as a tree... Emerald!” Peace said as he looked at the Zombie in wonder due to its large size.

[Zombies have 2 types of sizes, some are normal, just like you and Astaroth. There are also big ones, like him. This is not only true for Zombies, but also applies to most of the monsters that live in the world of Vanaheim.]

“Oh, so, yes. Very useful explanation. As expected of you, Emerald.” Speak Peace from the heart.

“To beat him, I think Heitari alone is enough.” Peace said in a disdainful tone as he slowly approached the Zombie and pointed his left palm towards the Zombie. Peace's left palm raised a fire that grew longer, Peace let out a stance

“Destroy obediently.” Peace said after finishing concentrating all the flames he had on his left palm. With boundless fire and limited Mana, Heitari was already as big as a Zombie body. Without further ado, Peace immediately released Heitari towards the Zombie.

“Bongsor, I've had enough of that ugly voice of yours, as well as your ugly face, in contrast to this perfect face of mine, even the human woman whose parents I killed still liked my look. I will tell you 1 thing, that Heitari will annihilate your existence, not just the body you are proud of it.” Peace said with a flat face.

“Damn you! I'll teach you a lesson, after I hold Heitari with the mace I keep on her back.” Zombie said while removing his mace from his back using his right hand.

Heitari was already very close to the Zombie face, but suddenly, Zombie launched his mace from the bottom up with the intention of pushing Heitari to the sky, but the attack caused nothing to Heitari, who was not there, in fact, the attack made the mace belonging to Zombie disappear without cause.

“What?! Damn, the only way is to avoid it, but is there enough time to avoid Heitari? I guess with this close is not enough, anyway.” Zombie said from the heart in panic accompanied by a desire to survive.

With a strong determination, Zombie moved his head to the left, so Heitari missed and destroyed most of the land along with dozens of trees around it. In order for Heitari not to go any further, Peace extinguished the Heitari fire by simply clenching his hands.

“Sial, missed... What do I do after this? My mana becomes 0 and can't pull out any moves, the only way is to buy time until my Mana can be reused.” Peace said with a sudden heartbeat that felt fast.

“Ha ha ha, just like that is your strength? Too weak! As long as you charge Mana, now is the right time for me to strike back. Unfortunately, my battle has been destroyed. So, I will attack you using my fists that can even destroy mountains.” Said Zombie while devising to invade Peace. After concentrating all his strength into his right hand, he clenched his right hand to kill Peace in a single strike.

After facing Peace short enough, he had adapted and felt that he had become stronger than before. Even with an instant, he was already in the presence of Peace. Zombie immediately launched the ultimate move while saying, “Taste! My revenge!!” With the intention of landing his punch onto Peace's face.

Meanwhile, Astaroth ran up to them as quickly as possible, with the intention of saving Peace from the Zombie death fist that even his shockwave destroyed the ground and dozens of trees around them. Seeing that there was a stick on the ground, he moved one of the snakes on his body to pick up the wood and prepared to hit the Zombie.

“Although this log can't hurt Zombie, at least this log can stop Zombie before he hits Peace. If I fail, maybe Peace will die.” Astaroth said in a panic.

[Mr Astaroth, the chances that you will succeed in saving Peace are 20% while the remaining 80% fail. If it fails, Peace 50% will die.] Hope said to Astaroth, his master.

Seriate...
