“This is the inside of the Xenocanthus, I’m lucky that I was able to use the monsters from my dimensional storage as a stepping stone or else some part of my body would be dissolved by the acids inside this shark’s stomach,” Teiko said.
Teiko uses a torch from his inventory to explore the inside of Xenocanthus. He doesn’t know where he is, if he’s either near its mouth or too far.
As the Xenocanthus moves, the orientation of the inside changes. Teiko uses his flight magic so he could maneuver easily around the area.
RAAAUGGHHHH!
What’s that sound? Teiko asked himself.
“Whoever you are, show yourself!” Teiko said.
As he moved closer to where the sound was coming from, he saw some human figure from the distance.
“Humans? Is there anyone that was eaten by the Xenocanthus aside from me?” Teiko said.
As the light from the torch lit up the figure, Teiko was shocked.
“A dead person?! Why is it moving?” Teiko exclaimed.
Wait, I read about them. They are the undead, the one in front of me is a zombie. So it’s safe to say that if I step through these acids, I’ll not dissolve but the thing is, I’ll turn into a zombie. Teiko thought.
As the zombie sees the light from Teiko, it moves in an instant directly at Teiko.
Teiko was able to stab its chest and back off immediately.
The zombie stopped for a minute and started moving again.
“What? You’re still alive? I mean, dead. I mean, you’re still moving?!” Teiko exclaimed.
Teiko slashes its head and the head flies over a distance.
“So I just need to decapitate you. At least it’s easy but your movement is still faster than normal humans,” Teiko said.
Wait? If this thing is living for more than ten thousand years, then that means there are a lot of zombies in his stomach, right? Teiko thought.
Teiko threw the torches to a distance and grab another one from his inventory.
As the torch hit the ground, a horde of zombies ran in that direction.
“Wait, can these acids also turn monsters into undead? That’s crazy, right?” Teiko said.
As he walked on, he saw a bone similar to the savage bear stuck into a metal.
Teiko took a deep breath. He said, “It’s reassuring that what I’m thinking is not the case. So I just need to be careful not to make loud noises and I should keep a good distance if I’m using torches. They would not fly right?”
Teiko continues to explore the area to find some exit.
I should be careful not to drain all my mana. I should walk to some material here that could withstand the acid. But there are just metals and rocks that don't dissolve, its acid is truly corrosive. Teiko said.
As Teiko is exploring, water gushes throughout the area.
“This is the second time it has happened. This means that the direction where the water comes from is where the mouth of this enormous monster is. But the question is, where does the water come out. Would that information help me get out of this place?” Teiko said.
Teiko decided to go to where the water was flowing into.
If I’m not outside, I’m sure that they will decide to let Saki join the battle. But the thing is, it’s already four hours but there are still no changes that’s happening. Is Saki really having a hard time defeating this gigantic creature. Well, it’s possible. They both have lived for too many years so their experience in battle might be on equal footing. Teiko thought.
The ground shakes and the orientation changes.
“This is really infuriating. This is the reason that those zombies look so gore. They continuously bump to the ground. Well this means that I’m really inside its stomach right?” Teiko said.
Teiko didn’t notice that there’s a horde of zombies near him as he carelessly worded his thoughts.
Teiko manages to dodge the swarm of zombies and fly above the ground.
“They are really tough and have great numbers but I don’t see any merit in defeating them. So I’ll just ignore them for now,” Teiko said.
GRUAAHGH!
That sound is very different from a normal zombie. Should I fly away? But my instinct is telling me to check it out. Teiko thought.
Teiko went to where the sound was coming from. There he saw a big zombie that is thrice his size.
“That’s not a normal zombie! But he looks like a muscular human, I see, it’s a mutated zombie. But why is he in that place?” Teiko said.
As Teiko looks closely, he sees a golden treasure which is being seated by the mutated zombie.
“This is the reason why I want to check this out, and since I’m here, I need to find out what’s inside of it,” Teiko said.
The ground on that area doesn't have any acid since it’s quite higher than the ground that surrounds it. The treasure is intact to the ground so it wouldn’t move if the orientation of this place changes, however, the acids might flow if that happened and I’m not used to fighting while having the orientation changed. This mutated zombie surely knows how to do that. Teiko thought.
《Blink Strike》
Teiko moves instantly at the mutated zombies’ back and slashes its neck just like how he normally decapitate a zombie.
“That’s a sturdy neck for a creature. I should have gone for your eyes first,” Teiko said.
The zombie tried to grab Teiko’s sword but failed since Teiko was already on the move.
I should fight against him as silently as I could or I would distract other zombies and after a second they will be swarming up here. Teiko said.
Teiko uses flight magic and watches how the mutated zombie reacts.
UAHGHA!
“That’s a growl! He’s calling for backups?” Teiko said.
In just a mere second, zombies flooded the area.
“If I knew that you could call for help, I would have gone crazy fighting against you. Either way, I will defeat you!” Teiko said.
《Atomic Execution》
In just one skill, the majority of the zombie was wiped up. The mutated zombie manage to survive by using the other zombie as a meat shield.
An evil leader indeed. Teiko thought.
