I Became A Zompirewolf Chapter 230 The Battle Of Livan (2)

Chapter 230 The Battle Of Livan (2)

Meanwhile, Ashton had finally managed to enter the deepest section of the catacombs, where the last Deull should be residing. However, he quickly released that he wasn't the first person to find the main room, judging from the skeletons scattered all over the place.

Some of it belonged to other Deulls and a few other creatures, while the rest of it belonged to humans and werewolves alike. They were probably the miners who went a little too deep and ended up dying at the hands of the Deulls.

"It is eerily silent here," Ashton mumbled softly, however, his voice echoed louder than ever.

[Relax, you're stronger than before remember?]

"Yeah, I'm still stuck at level 28. So I don't know if I am as strong as I wanted to be. If this Deull doesn't give me a h.e.l.l of an exp, then I'm screwed."

This time Astaroth had nothing to say to him. Because he wasn't so sure about it himself. If Ashton failed to hit level thirty on his werewolf genes, he was pretty much screwed, as he said... or was he?

Thanks to sacrificing his sleep, he was already on level 29 with both Vampire and Zombie genes. But his werewolf skill did not seem to be going up by much despite him killing more Deulls than in the previous days.

It was probably because the levelling requirements of werewolf genes depended on fighting stronger opponents. While the Deulls had become... somewhat of an easy prey for Ashton. So much so, that it was safe to say he could kill a bunch of them in his sleep without getting injured.

[You won't be screwed. As long as your other genes get to level 30, you will be able to partic.i.p.ate in the battle that's most likely to break out. You can farm exp for your werewolf genes then.]

Ashton nodded and kept walking deeper. He knew he was headed in the right direction as the number of skeletons along with the stench of death increased more and more.

"It's a good thing there are so many bones here. I can easily summon a Bone Goliath to help me out if need be."

[Elemental Goliath] was the skill Ashton received as soon as he hit level 25 with his zombie genes. However, unlike the previous times, he did not receive options to choose his skills from. Instead, he simply received a notification stating that based on his current skills and Necromancy cla.s.s he was being awarded a new skill.

At first, he was a bit confused about what a summoning skill like [Elemental Goliath] had to do with necromancer cla.s.s. But all the confusion was removed when he realised what the term elemental meant in this case.

It wasn't actual elements like earth, water, wind, fire etc, that could be used to summon a goliath. But elements related to his necromancy cla.s.s such as blood, bones, and ashes could be used as a medium to summons a giant to help him.

That being said, it was mentioned that each of those elements would summon a goliath with different properties. However, it was up to him to discover those properties as it didn't mention anything about the said properties anywhere in the skill description.

Also, the only reason he wasn't summoning one to check their properties now was because of how costly doing so was. No matter what medium Ashton chose to summon a goliath, it would end up using 90% of his mana, leaving him unable to use any other skill while the mana slowly regenerated.

Thankfully, Astaroth was kind enough to let Ashton know about the said properties so that he didn't waste any of his precious mana.

The [Bone Goliath] was possibly the st.u.r.diest goliath he could summon. It was excellent for defensive purposes while not so good at offence.

The [Blood Goliath] was the complete opposite of the [Bone Goliath] and had extremely high offensive abilities, but s.h.i.+tty defence. But it could take a bit of beating if need be by sharing the HP of his summoner.

And lastly, the [Ashen Goliath]. It was neither good at offence nor defence. But what it was good at was stealth and could hide the presence of up to a dozen people as long as they were hiding underneath his shadow.

But to summon either of these goliaths, there had to be a sufficient amount of medium. One can't summon any of the goliaths with a small number of bones, blood or ash left after incinerating corpses. Then there was the issue of cooldown. Ashton could only summon the Goliath once a day.

Suddenly a faint noise of a series of explosions could be heard. Under normal circ.u.mstances, Ashton would have ignored it and carried on with his task, but this time he knew something was wrong.

As far as he knew, only Baiter was able to make such high damage-causing explosives and Ashton had instructed him to use those explosions only when it was absolutely necessary. The loud explosions would also serve as a signal for Ashton to know the unthinkable has happened.

"f.u.c.k, she's already here!" Ashton forgot about everything about stealth and began running deeper without any fear of anyone, "I have to kill that Deull and get going ASAP."

However, no matter where he looked he could not find the b.a.s.t.a.r.d. It was as if the Deull wanted to play hide and seek with him. Ashton was running out of time. The longer he lingered here, the more danger his people would have to face.

"f.u.c.k this, I'm heading back."

[Calm the f.u.c.k down! You won't be able to do much even if you leave without levelling up the rest of your genes!]

"I have a plan."

Ashton began backtracking his steps and soon found a half-eaten corpse that he had left behind and began chowing it down. It gave him 1% exp for both vampire and zombie genes for every mouthful chunk he consumed.

It was a time-consuming process as eating from the same corpse only gave 1% of exp as mentioned before, but it was better than playing hide and seek with a night creature.

"Just hold on everyone, I'm on my way."
