Level up Zombie

After receiving the platinum reward, Zain's stats had improved considerably. He no longer felt like he was a zombie that was going along the control path, and instead was one that was going on the enhanced path.

The stats he received was as if he had jumped a few levels. It was then that Zain realised that day he should have died. The quest was almost impossible to complete, which was why Zain had decided to put off the other high level quest, such as finding a meteorite.

Still, Zain continued to hunt the level 2 zombies and he managed to level up, growing stronger and stronger. He had gone up by two levels reaching level 10, and that was when a special quest had arrived for him.

A quest to unlock a class skill. It was classified as a gold reward, but it gave him an idea of what the reward would be. Surprisingly it was easier than he thought though, since it was for him to defeat three Level 2 zombies, which was something he had done before.

Leaving him to believe that the platinum quest completion had made his life easier than expected. After completing the class quest though, he received a skill that was more useful than ever, a skill called Summon.

Right now in the subway, with all the zombies coming towards them, boil zombies, stage 2 titans, a couple of Spitters, as well as the regular zombies, if he was to stay close to these two humans then surely he would die.

When he was ever in a situation like this, Zain didn't hesitate to leave them. Zain had watched people fight for their lives against zombies and had refused to help them, but it was the very scene in front of him that made him act because of how similar the situation was to the one before.

[You are now summoning your horde!]

The first member of the horde that had appeared was none other than Cobra. He quickly chased forward, slicing up the lower level zombies, cutting them cleanly by their neck.

"What the hell… did a person just appear from his hand… what magic is this?" Dali thought, as he still held onto his brother.

However, the summoning didn't stop there, next was War, and as he was summoned, he appeared with an automatic machine gun. He started to fire at the zombies that were coming towards them as well. Hitting them clean in the head, causing them to drop.

‘Both of their levels have increased. With War's intelligence improving he's becoming a better shot, and as for Cobra… well, he was fast to begin with.'

Not only had Zain himself levelled up, but so did the special zombies that he had in his possession. Jam, had come out, Skittle next, and soon after all of them. Zain then started to summon the regular zombies from his hand.

Seeing this, Dali took a step back, but his back had hit the pillar behind him. The zombies were fighting each other as they crashed into the wall of zombies that were coming towards them.

"This is… he can control Zombies." Dali went from being thankful of this person, to now being fearful of him. His whole body was shaking. How was it possible, how could one have magic and how could one control these monsters?

In Dali's mind this was only possible if the person was an even bigger monster.

"Stay in this circle, the zombies here, they won't attack you, so you don't have to worry."

Hiding his identity, keeping it a secret from others. None of that mattered at all. In the end, Zain was just going to leave them anyway, and they could spread the news however they liked.

Zain quickly went off into the distance and Skittle came with him. One of the zombies was picked up by his head and chucked into the pile, making it easy for Zain. The first target were the Spitters.

The easiest, but also most troublesome of the group. Heading forward with Skittle it was easier, a single punch shoved the Spitter's head to the side, and with his strength he could open their mouths wide without worrying about their teeth locking onto his hands.

Even if they did, it wouldn't hurt and they would heal soon after. With Skittle doing the dirty work, it allowed Zain to simply stab his machete through their mouths one after another.

[6/13 Threats have been defeated]

‘After defeating all 13 I might level up as well. And the reward on top of this is a good haul.'

With twenty zombies, including the super zombies minus Skittle protecting the others, they were a force that was impenetrable. When War needed to reload he was able to be covered adequately.

Jam also had quite a high level of intelligence and with his speed and strength increasing, it allowed for the small zombie dog to bite some of the zombie's legs off, causing them to fall on the ground. He knew the right time, or when to come in and help out War. The two of them were a good duo.

Now it was time for Zain to go after the Titans. A few of them seemed to be on the rail tracks, and jumping down from them once again with Skittle,  he was confident in taking them out.

Skittle and Zain would hit one of the legs together. With both of their strength having increased, it was enough to knock down the being that Zain had first nicknamed Titan upon seeing its giant size and strength, but now it was nothing.

When knocked down, it was easy work for the two of them. Eventually Zain had defeated all the level 2 zombies in the subway, and looking back, he could see that all of the zombies that had attempted to take the little boy named Wiz had failed as well.

‘I did it… Skittle.' Zain looked toward him. ‘I was able to protect someone from the thing that managed to get you.' It was an achievement, but Zain could also see that both the humans were frightened to move.

Even though the zombies that were still alive were just standing still in a circle around them and weren't even facing them.

[Quest complete]

"Yes" Zain said, lifting his hand, not having patience.

‘Claim a territory, what is this?'
