Chapter 12: The Lightning Attribute

While all humanity trembled in fear of the monsters and were terrified of the apocalypse and some people tried to fight the monsters with their souls, Wain was busy killing people and making the monster stronger.

After about ten minutes, the lightning zombie ate all three people and absorbed huge electricity. Because of Wain's actions, some devices and lights in the hospital stopped working. His actions de-energized about a third of the hospital. But, he was pleased with the result.

"Great, he's gotten a lot stronger. I'm sure his soul will be Rare Rated. Attack!" Said Wain looking at the zombie.

The monster's appearance had changed considerably. It grew larger, and its hair turned blue and electrified. He stared at Wain with rage. On the one hand, the zombie grew stronger, but he spent his last minutes in agony. He felt like he was swimming in the cauldron of hell, and Wain stirred that cauldron.

The zombie roared and lunged at Wain. He became much faster and shortened the distance of five meters in just a second. Wain ducked and punched the monster in the stomach with all his might, but the zombie didn't even flinch, and Wain felt his arm go numb.

'Unbelievable, his skin has become many times more powerful. My Strength setting is 16, I'm about three times stronger than a normal human, and that's not counting my skills. Okay, I should have expected something like that. Otherwise, it would have been too easy.' Thought Wain, and a dark sword appeared beside him.

The weapon collapsed on the zombie, but the monster managed to react and repelled the sword with its sharp claws. Wain struck the monster again and bounced to the side.

He swung his arm, and the dark sword flew into his hands. Wain decided that the best solution would be to fight the zombie in close combat in this situation. His knife certainly couldn't cut through such tough skin, and what's more, he had a skill that greatly improved his swordsmanship.

"Last time I cut that worm like crazy, but that's a different situation now. That zombie is fast and strong enough to kill me in a few blows." Mumbled Wain and got ready to fight.

The next moment the zombie turned into a flash of lightning and attacked Wain. The lightning zombie was a fast and dangerous opponent, but Wain also had his tricks.

He thrust his sword forward and used Lizard's Dash. The zombie's claws almost hit Wain, but he moved out of harm's way at the last moment. The monster's claws ended up sinking deeply into the concrete walls, and Wain made a deep cut in the monster's side.

"Damn, you're too tough. It felt like I was trying to cut through hardened steel." Wain said grudgingly and used Lizard's Dash once more.

He began to attack the monster in the back with all his might, inflicting several deep wounds.

Whooosh.

The monster turned around and began to attack Wain with great speed. But, he had no problem blocking all of the monster's lunges. The zombie's claws could not break or blunt the black sword. Their stamina and skill in close combat decided everything at that moment.

Wain dodged another blow and plunged the dark sword deep into the monster's stomach. Wain put all his strength into this attack. He barely managed to penetrate the monster's tough skin.

But, the zombie did not die from this. It only vomited blood and tried to attack Wain again. However, Wain was not about to let the zombie hurt himself. He used Lizard's Dash and got to the wall.

The zombie's back hit the concrete wall, and the dark sword stuck deep in the wall. The zombie didn't expect such an attack. It was stunned for a second. Wain took advantage of this small hitch.

'His skin is callous, and I can't penetrate it with simple blows, even the Destruction Sword has a hard time cutting through his flesh, but he has unprotected places.' Wain thought, and the next moment he pressed his fingers tightly together.

His palms turned into two sharp spears that strode toward the zombie's eyes.

Crackling.

Wain bounced aside, and the monster roared in pain. Wain smirked and, looking at the two blue eyes in his hands, muttered, "Not bad. I'll keep it for luck like a trinket. He moved them to the Ring of the Damned with his mind and snapped his finger.

The dark sword disintegrated into many pieces and disappeared but then reappeared in Wain's hands.

'Hmm, I've already used several skills in a short period of time. I feel like I'm starting to get tired. But it looks like my opponent won't be able to stand on his feet for much longer.' Thought Wain looking at the zombie.

He had robbed him of his eyes, and the monster had no other way of seeing the world. It had to find Wain by smell or sound alone.

Wain did not attack. He decided to do the smart thing. He pulled out a lighter and threw it to the side.

Click.

The zombie heard the sound and instantly reacted. His claws became electrified, and he was ready to tear Wain apart. But, it could only cut through the air.

Simultaneously, Wain pierced the monster's throat and swung the sword, turning the zombie's flesh into a bloody mess.

But, even that couldn't kill the zombie. It was a surprisingly resilient creature.

"Damn, how many times do I have to wound you before you die?" Proclaimed Wain and stabbed the zombie's head about ten times with his sword.

He attacked it until the monster let out its last breath. Wain smiled; he was satisfied, but not because he could defeat the monster. It was so obvious.

When Wain killed the zombie, a blue soul flew out of its body. This meant that she was Rare Rated. If, as Wain supposed, it was Whole Soul, he could improve the skill.

The soul entered his body. Wain picked up the lighter from the floor and looked up the information about the soul.

[Soul of Lightning Zombie(Whole)

Chronicle: Primary

Rating: Rare]

'Great, I did the right thing in deciding to create the Lightning Zombie myself. This guy was probably the first and currently the only such monster. In that case, the probability of getting a Whole Soul was 100%.' Wain thought.

Of course, he wouldn't use that soul or put it on his Soul Altar. He needed that soul for a more important purpose.

He went to the upgrade menu, chose Lizard's Dash, and then the third option, which he needed this soul for.

[Lightning Lizard's Dash(Primary Chronicle Active Skill, Rare Rating): The following conditions must be met to obtain this skill.

[Any Rare Rating Whole Soul of a monster with the lightning attribute: 1/1 is required]

[Conditions met. Do you want to use soul with Lightning attribute and develop Lizard's Dash to Lightning Lizard's Dash?]

'Yes.' Said Wain to himself, and a panel appeared in front of him with all the conditionally appropriate souls.

'Oh, so I can choose which soul to use, that's good. I thought the choice would be random." Mumbled Wain and chose the Soul of Lightning Zombie.

He only had one matching soul, so he didn't have much to choose from. But, such an opportunity could be used in the future. He could spend less promising souls instead of more valuable or rare ones.

[A soul with the lightning attribute was chosen. Starting skill development.]

The next moment, a soul and a rune denoting Lizard's Dash flew out of Wain's body. They merged, and the slightly altered rune returned to his Soul Altar.

[Lizard's Dash (Primary Chronicle Active Skill, Common Rating) → Lightning Lizard's Dash (Primary Chronicle Active Skill, Rare Rating)

Wain decided to use his new skill right away. This was the first time he was improving a skill, and it seemed very interesting to him.

Soul Essence moved toward his body, and electric shocks appeared around his legs. Wain's silhouette blurred, and he was across the room a second later. After a jerk, the accumulated electrical charge surged outward and destroyed part of the wall.

Wain turned around and saw behind him the flat line left behind by the jerk due to the high temperature of the lightning.

"Unbelievable, this is so much better than the previous option. I made the right decision to develop the skill in this particular direction. I wonder what improvements I'll make next?" Mumbled Wain and left the room.

He headed for the computer room. He took a phone from his desk when he got there, with a compact solar panel. Next, Wain headed into the main room, but suddenly the whole building shook.

Wain thought there was an earthquake, but he saw three huge worms around the hospital when he looked out the window.

'Damn, there are too many people here, no wonder the worms wanted to attack this hospital. There's a real feast of hundreds of people here for them. I need getting to get out of here.' Thought Wain and ran out of the hospital.

At this moment, he could not deal with three giant worms even if he used the Code of Light and Darkness.

The other people also tried to run out, but the worms had already collapsed their massive bodies onto the hospital building. Dozens of people were crushed and eaten. Some died because they were caught in the rubble.

"Phew, they don't give a second's rest. The beginning of the apocalypse is a dangerous time indeed, but maybe it's for the best." Mumbled Wain running into the narrow alleys.

Hundreds of people ran out of the hospital, and the monsters that came close were distracted by them.. It was a good opportunity to run away and figure out a future action plan.
