I Became A Zombie Chapter 12
Chapter 12: Raiki and Sky Fox
The light finally subsided. After defeating the Gray Wolves, Kinu rushed over worriedly.
「Phew… I’m okay. This time the pain was less than I expected. I feel like my field of view has gotten a little higher. Has my appearance changed as well… Kinu, have I changed?」
『Kyuun!』
「Horns? Oh, it’s longer now. Well, I no longer have any attachments to my human self, so I don’t really care about my appearance anymore. Alright, let’s check the status. Status!」

・ Strong Arm, Nimble → Thunderclap: STR and AGI increase by 100% for 5 minutes (MP consumption 50)
・ Lightning ball: Lightning attribute offensive magic, simultaneous activation limit 3 (MP consumption 15 x number of activation)
・Electrification: Add 30% of INT value to STR and AGI, add lightning attribute to attacks (MP consumption 30)
・Air Step: Using high agility and strength, you can jump one more step in mid-air.
「Holy moly… L-Let’s calmly organize the information. Knowing what you can do is the most important thing.」
My stats of [STR (Strength)], [INT (Intelligence)], and [AGI (Agility)] have increased explosively. The change in status seems to be related to my body getting a little bigger. No, it’s more than that… My skills are also outrageous.
First, the Air Step skill is an excellent skill that allows you to change posture in mid-air and jump once more. Even humans rarely have this skill, but those that do have this skill have high physical abilities.
Next is the Lightning Ball. Seeing this made me so happy. I can finally use magic. Let’s use it later.
The last one is a status-enhancing skill, commonly known as a buff skill. Strong arm and agility are integrated into the skill Thunderclap. STR and AGI are improved by 100% for 5 minutes. This alone is already dangerous. If I activate Thunderclap and simply flick a goblin’s forehead, the head will surely explode.
Electrification adds 30% of the INT value to STR and AGI, and adds lightning attribute to my attacks. Using this as a standalone skill, Thunderclap honestly feels like a better skill. However, the “combination” of these two skills makes it way too strong. In other words, if I use them in the correct order, it can lead to something unbelievable.
「If I use Electrification first and then Thunderclap… it’s going to be an epic number.」
So, after doing the calculations, my Strength will jump from 68 to 182, and my Agility will jump from 95 to 236.
…My strength is approximately “2.7x” the basic value, and agility is “approximately 2.5x”.
「Aren’t I too strong?…No, it’s the other way around. This is still not enough! What we’re aiming for is not the strongest among humans. It is to be the strongest among all creatures! The world is vast. Legendary dragons and divine beasts that appear in myths may be somewhere in this world. I don’t want to have any regrets when I meet them! I have to become stronger!」
Moreover… Grandpa might still be stronger than I am now.
「Kinu, I have already confirmed my status. Thanks! I’m gonna try out various things when we reach a large enough area. For now, let’s get to the 2nd floor.」
『Kon!』
After about two hours of being lost, we found the stairs heading up to the second floor.
Climbing up the stairs, I found myself in a spacious 10m square room; the “Sudden Room”. About 20 E-rank monsters such as goblins, gray wolves, goblin fighters and goblin lancers were there.
From my current point of view, they’re just small fries. This is not even enough to warm up.
「Kinu, don’t hold back and go on a rampage. I’ll help you out if you’re in trouble.」
『Kuon!』
Kinu started running towards the wall. She seemed to have an idea in mind.
When she reached the edge of the enemy group, she fired an Energy Wave at the monsters. About half the enemies were immobilized with just four shots.
「Wide Area magic! She attracted the monsters to one corner and annihilated them all at once.」
Now only about half in number, the goblins surrounded Kinu while keeping their distance, but they attacked individually without coordinating their attacks. Kinu carefully defeated them one by one with energy balls, claws, and fangs, while cornering the opponents to the wall. Finally, she defeated the last three Goblin Lancers with an energy wave.
「Even with this number, they were not a threat. Moreover, you eliminated them with extreme efficiency.」
『Kon!』
Kinu cried proudly. But her body began to tremble.
「No way, you’re already evolving!? It’s okay. I’ll protect you this time. Don’t worry.」
Kinu gently closed her eyes in relief as I gently stroked her back. While wondering what was her next evolution, I gently stroked Kinu’s back until the evolution was over.
Kinu’s transformation was over quickly. Her body grew larger in size, large enough to carry me on her back. And as expected, her tails increased to 4. Kinu opened her eyes and leaned forward with joy. So cute…
「Kinu, let me check your status.」
I checked the status while stroking Kinu’s head.
Umm, what’s changed is… her race is now Sky Fox, and her main stats, VIT, DEX and INT, have increased.
In addition, a new skill has been added, Wisdom. The effect is “Increase INT by 50%”. Kinu’s aptitude for magic seems to have increased even further.
「Kinu, you have acquired a skill called Wisdom. From the next battle onwards, please use this skill before you attack with magic. And also please confirm your own status so that you can decide how best to use your skills. Do you know how to check your status?」
Kinu will probably be able to grasp her own power and use it well rather than listening to what I say. Though I will check it from time to time and get the chance to pet her head. This is necessary for my mental healing and vitality!
『Kuon!』
Kinu nodded and looked at the back of the room. There was a staircase leading to the 3rd floor.
I understand your desire to test your growth.
I want to test it too!
Gimme the boss already!
I climbed up the stairs leading to the 3rd floor while suppressing my excitement.
Too op too Quick
