The Evolving Stealth System Chapter 19: Zombie Fishing

Time passed slowly, and Duncan made bad use of his time…

Of course, when he was alive on Everton Mega Loren planet, he regularly cultivated for days and years, but he never tried it buried underneath the ground. Hence, after 30 days of screaming Orcs and Goblins, he began thinking about Nyla and her tragic death…

It was on a supply mission, and he had no idea why he was there…

Usually, they'd send a space cruiser with Rising Condensation Cultivators, which gave him lots of time to reflect and enjoy his last time with Nyla, but she was 'fated to die' they said…

As a spy, he expected these things to happen in dreams…

However, in real life, she clearly was stronger than him, and watching your wife being digested in a fat monster as you bowed felt beyond tragic…

Ultimately, he smiled…

This ability to smile in duress passed him in the academy's final trials, and it also caused him to successfully get the system blueprints as she was munched on…

It was a simple, horrifying moment that made him stronger.

They had mistaken him for a demon because Duncan matched the description of their source, and since this was a dead drop, it meant that planet Everton Mega Loren was safe…

They literally ate her as he looked, and he bowed and then his power soared and he killed everyone bringing home her head in his lap. He tried to forgive himself for being overtly weak, but what could he do with her gone?

Dao Companions were special…

She became his Dao Companion and they'd spent 500 years waiting for her to be eaten…

He also couldn't forgive his look alike, but she had the nerve to smile at him as she was chewed!

You shouldn't have died, Nyla, and why did 65 days take so long!

[Ding! Host is currently 20 days away from being able to successfully reform… However, host has acquired new mission, and its been sent by HQ]

[Host has received list of 10 lower ranked demons to kill, and host has to wait 10 more days for Orcs to leave…]

"Great, does that mean I can leave early?"

[Ding! No… Host is recommended to wait full duration, or he could fight a zombie army, so host has to decide carefully…]

After nearly dying, of course he didn't want to wait…

"No, I will become a zombie! They're dumb right…?" He munched with his jaw trying to entertain himself under the dirt.

[Correct… However, they travel in large packs, so host has little chance since they average over level 10…]

Sigh.

He felt the need to yawn, and the dirt in his mouth didn't stop him from coming up with a plan…

"System… when I had access to video games, I knew a game called Zombie fishing…"

"It was a really fun game, and it was with zombie fish in a pond… In order to save the lake, you had to fish for zombies, and… do you get what I'm saying?"

[Ding! Host wishes to use 15 Es points to purchase lure for zombies… is that correct?]

"Uhm… sure…" Being just a meek skeleton head underground… ten days finally passed and Duncan summoned Phoenix as the orcs left…

All around were zombies with various body parts dragging…

They were all thinking the same thought, and then Phoenix used a fishing rod, and hooked one of those zombies…

Swish!

Phoenix smiled and kept reeling the unlucky zombie in before a skeletons hand reached into the dirt and pulled him halfway under…

"Success! I told you it would work system…"

[Ding! Host has inflicted 10 damage on moonlight acrid zombie…]

[Ding! Host landed a critical hit on zombies' groin and inflicted 50 damage to moonlight acrid zombie…]

[Ding! Host has successfully fully caught moonlight acrid zombie in a hole…]

[Host has given the zombie no room to run!]

[Ding! Phoenix has successfully completed his job as bait, and is currently running in circles…]

[Congratulations! Host has killed one Moonlight Acrid Zombie, and received 1 / 10 strands of the Moonlight Acrid Zombie bloodline! + 300 experience!]

[Ding! Host has leveled up to level 9…]

Three demi-gods sat in a palatial room, and two of them kneeled with fear.

"My Sova… you think the devil killed her?" He kicked Averno into the wall as Averna smiled at his pain.

Bang!

Watching him getting kicked over and over again… she noticed a new girl was sitting in his chair…

Sova used to sit in that chair…

Wait?

Did he already get over her, and her brother was taking it like a champ…

"Sir, it wasn't the skeleton, really!" Averna said, "We just couldn't find the devils body, and little is known about death angels spells!"

Bang!

"Ahhhh! You're such a wench! That skeleton must die! That skeleton… he burns like fire, and then he eats me every night!"

Averno landed in a chair with his general Zevi's hand full of tears… "And my dear Sova… she's with the skeleton… I'm sure of it…"

He was absolutely sure of it, but these fools said some devil existed… It was now time to send out a force to find that skeleton, and Averno blasted into the ceiling as the goblin painters cried in agony…

There was a beautiful wall painting on every wall, and each had an imprint of blood that made them extremely unsatisfied…

"Mehehe paint! Mehehehe paint!" Whips hit the goblins into gear as Averna defended her brother with a parry to Zevi's blade…

He was going to kill him, and his blood coated her face…

"You're right, my king, it was the skeleton! Let me and my brother find him for you…" She had no choice but to appease him, and the goblins began cleaning up his blood.

His servants face was smashed like a water melon, and finally he felt solace from his divination dreams…

"Good, I want him dead, and look for zombies too… My dreams never lie, remember?"

"Sire… of course, but please… remove your hand…"

Zevi sighed dropping Averna from the wall, and a loud bird flew into the window…

"Gwuah! Sir… we've received a declaration of war from the Fela Bernia Clan… Sir, we've received a declaration of war… Gwuak, Gwuak!"

The bird dropped the letter in his hand, and he screamed as troops began marching towards his city clan's capital…

"Fuck… you have three years to find him, or we're all dead!" He kicked Averno out into the battle ground, and then took a deep breathe with his women appearing on his lap…
