2 months has passed since Richard started living in the castle and his relationship with the undead have changed drastically.
please teach let me go outside at night so I can finally max out mana blast and change job.
the armored skeleton that had been teaching him how to fight properly (he will from now on been known as Teach) stared down on him with as much annoyance as a skull could do.
don’t be like that it’s not like I’ll run away or anything.
Teach crossed his arms at those words.
ah come on have some faith in me I just want to upgrade my job since I’m so close to being able to do so.
After a couple of seconds Teach relaxed his stance and signaled that Richard could go by moving his hand towards the exit with the palm upwards.
thanks Teach I’ll be back for more training before sunrise.
before Teach could change his mind Richard bolted out of the castle leaving Teach to mimic a sigh.
finally I’m outside, now what should i try to hunt since i would rather not hunt other undead even if my rank would increase if I consumed theirs magic stones, or would miasma stone be more accurate. Hmm well miasma is a type of mana so i guess it would be like calling a magic stone from a monster with strong water affinity a water,,, “mana blast”.
as Richard was contemplating wording and types of magic stones a shadow descended upon him.
wow a bone vulture what lucky I am, and to bad for you that I got the intuition and parallel processing skills meaning unless you have a stealth skill it’s impossible for me to get caught of guard.
bone vulture: Craw.
don’t be so angry it’s simply how nature works sometimes, a buffalo crushing the ribs of a wolf isn’t an uncommon story. Likewise a bone vulture getting killed by an undead isn’t impossible.
The bone vulture cried out in anger and used the skill earth control to trap Richard in the ground.
eh what is this? Don’t tell me you’re a higher rank of bone vulture.
the bone vulture that was actually a skeleton vulture which is one rank above, launched at Richard with its claws and beak that had an intrinsic effect against undead.
well this is unfortunate for me, seriously couldn’t I have faced you after my job change. Anyway “hell flames”.
He didn’t fire the spell at the vulture but instead on the ground, and with the darkness unique characteristics to sap away mana the restrains was undone which allowed him to dodge the attack and slash with his sword against its wing.
good now that you can’t fly away i can use you as a target to max out mana blast so get ready.
it took the vulture 20min to die, when it launched Richard effortlessly dodge the attacks and when it tried to use magic skills they got consumed by hell flames, and between all of that Richard continued with hitting him with mana blasts.
wow fighting like this is like fighting an early boss in a game, or maybe the third boss I guess, you’re experienced enough that you can play and you have grind enough to be able to win relatively easily. Plus I’m an undead so I don’t get tired or muscle pain. Anyway let’s see if I can change job, and I can let’s see.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
job selection: attack mage, healing mage, support mage.
If this was before my training i would have chosen attack mage, but in order to fight stronger enemies i chose support mage.
as he changed job his job skills merged into the mage skill and got a boost in Mp, and intelligence.
wow so this is how upgrading one’s job feels like it’s incredible, now let’s find something to let me grind.
2h later.
seriously 2h and not anything but skeletons, well I guess this was part of that vultures territory meaning no other undead eaters were going to be around here, I guess I should getting back home to,,,,.
Young female voice: please stop don’t do this.
hmm well that’s probably something interesting. (He used his stealth skill and moved towards the scream).
turning back the clock a little, on the ground near a carriage laid a bunch of men and children of both gender the only difference the children were that the young children between 8-14years were naked with terrified and painful expressions on their faces. Standing beside them were armed soldiers some with their pants down and a clergy man violating a 14 year old girl.
acolyte: well I’m done with this thing now. (He snapped the girls neck.
soldier 1: man couldn’t you have let me have a go before doing that.
acolyte: my apologies but our first sacrifice will rise soon and we should prepare for the harvest.
soldier 2: then shouldn’t we have disposed of that garbage later and enjoyed ourselves more.
soldier 3: don’t be daft man if we did that we would have stayed out here for so long that we would be reprimanded for slacking off.
soldier 2: true enough, i guess we can’t take our time to enjoy our work.
the soldiers laughed.
acolyte: now now everyone calm down we need to prepare for the men’s transformation, in contrast to the children the criminals had jobs ass fist user and even brawler.
Soldier 1: don’t worry so much our weapons have been specially made to combat undead we will be fine.
???: really then maybe i should test that for myself.
the men turned around and saw something that locked like a beautiful girl with hair to the shoulders wearing a simple but functional leather outfit, the confusing part was the voice sounded like a boy approaching puberty.
acolyte: who are you.
Richard: i have no name to give to a flasher.
this statement made the acolyte furious.
acolyte: you beat I’m the servant of the divines give me the respect I deserve.
Richard: I don’t think i can give you what you deserve but I’ll do my best (he released his fear skill that had reached lv3).
acolyte: so you are some kind of demon unfortunately for you I’m one blessed by the light “sun beam”.
the attack got devoured by dark flames.
acolyte: what was that.
Richard: darkness, now I guess it’s my turn “enhance agility”.
soldier 1: one don’t stand down men he is just one,,,, ahhhhh.
before the soldiers could be rallied Richard had already severed all of their feet.
acolyte: what did you do?
Richard: isn’t it obvious I cut of their feet so that they can’t run off.
acolyte: how did you?.
Richard: because I’m stronger than them.
the acolyte tried to use more spells but they all got consumed by the dark flames.
acolyte: please don’t kill me i only did what i was told.
Richard: i highly doubt that sure you might have been ordered to dispose of these people but the rest was probably for your own satisfaction.
at that moment the dead men started to rise as their skin started to rot away, and they started to devouring the soldiers.
Soldiers ???: please don’t, help us, they are going to, ahhhh.
acolyte: please we have to get away from here otherwise we will all die you included.
at that moment the man the acolyte had disfigured launched at the acolyte but before he could reach the man Richard grabbed his neck.
Richard: no this one is mine.
the former man walked towards the others and enjoyed the meat.
acolyte: what are you going to do.
Richard: an experiment, you see I think healing magic works by replacing cells, so what would happen if i infused the cells with miasma.
acolyte: what are you talking about?
Richard: don’t worry about it, this is just something I picked up from a manga I’m not a scientist.
and so the acolyte experienced the painful process of becoming undead while alive.
