Chapter 87 Infinite Health?

"So… did anyone find a way to undo the Effects of Zombification?"

She stopped as I asked her this. Her eyes traced mine before they got lost, as if recalling a memory.

"When it comes to Planet Alfheim, there was Yggdrasil that had some power to reverse the Zombification Process. Ironically, it was burnt down by the very people who were there to protect it,"she spoke with a distant look in her eyes.

"So Yggdrasil doesn't exist anymore?" I asked curiously, as I stopped in my tracks. She pondered a little as she spoke,

"Well… it does, actually. The 7 branches of Yggdrasil actually stretch around various dimensions and each holding a spec of its power is still thriving somewhere out in the universe."

'Seven?' I questioned as I looked at the [Dungeon Shop] again…

[The Yellow Leaf of Yggdrasil (Item) ]

[One of the 12 Leaves of Yggdrasil. When collected together, it will bloom its magic on the one that deserves its blessings.

Cost: 37500 Dungeon Points]

'Is she hiding things from me… or is it that she herself doesn't know about it? Or maybe leaves and branches are different from one another?' I pondered a little as I looked at that item while keeping in mind what Erina told me.

"Though if you are thinking about finding those branches, then please stop dreaming. People haven't even found one, forget about all 7, even after searching for decades," Erina spoke with a deep look before I nodded at her and we both entered the next Floor.

[You have entered Floor 51!]

[Kill All The Zombies!]

"Need a buff?" asked Erina.

"Hmmm… nah, it's fine. They aren't that strong," I spoke before activating my abilities and starting to kill all the Zombies one by one, just like usual.

There wasn't much difference between killing these or the previous ones. Though unlike before, I had to be really precise where I was hitting. If I missed their weak points, they wouldn't die in one hit. [Monster Index] provided a lot of help in this regard too… yet…

-BOOM!!!

'Tch!' I clicked my tongue on the inside as I moved to go for a second hit on the Lesser C-Grade Zombie and

-BOOM!!

[Dungeon Points Received +20]

[Dungeon Points Multiplied by 3]

[Dungeon Points Received +60]

[Total Points: 78230]

'But man, I am getting so many points as the Floors are increasing, huh?' I was genuinely surprised as I looked at the points that I had. What took a total of 30 Floors to accumulate was easily done in about 8 Floors or so to cover.

I was going to wait till Floor 55 before deciding whether I should buy [The Yellow Leaf of Yggdrasil] or not.

-BOOM!!

[Dungeon Points Received +57]

-BOOM!!

-BOOM!!

.

.

[Floor 51 Cleared!]

Soon, as I continued talking to Erina, killing the Zombies on each floor, I found myself at the end of Floor 55.

[Floor 55 Cleared!]

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Looking at the points I had now,

[Total Points: 91342]

'I guess it won't be a problem if I were to buy it now,' I decided before buying that yellow leaf, too.

Slowly, that leaf fell in my arms from the space in front of me.

"Huh?!!! W-Wha-What?!! What is that?!!!!" Flabbergasted as she looked at the leaf in my hands, I soon kept it in my [Time Storage] as I spoke,

"Nothing."

"No! That's… That's… That was a branch of… of… Yggdrasil, wasn't it?" Even when Erina spoke that, she was having a hard time believing herself.

I just smiled at her with my eyes narrowing a little as I spoke,"come on now. The branches are all scattered across dimensions, where no one could find them. How do you think I can find something like that here out of nowhere?"

"Tha-That is… That is correct… but that energy… it was purely of Yggdrasil… it cannot… be faked?" She was in disbelief as she looked at me trying to comprehend what she just saw and I not minding her spoke,

"Let's go. We have a bigger issue at hand right now."

Hearing my voice, she snapped out of her stupor as she immediately concentrated on what's coming after us from behind. While the [Night Crawlers] were still far and behind, since we were going at a fast pace, that doesn't mean they were going to stop while we did nothing.

"Wait! Wait! Wait for me!" Erina spoke as she saw me moving to the next floor.

[You have entered Floor 56!]

[8th Boss Floor!]

[Kill the Boss Zombie!]

[C-Grade Zombie Sand Troll (All Stats Tripled)(Health +5000%)]

I saw that thing standing over there… covered in decaying sand and white dimmed eyes. There was a green hue that surrounded all around its body. I could see some sort of bugs flying all around its body as its body took shape in front of me.

"[Aura of Light] [Aura of Wind] [Aura of Water] [Aura of Power] [Aura of Darkness]" chanted Erina in a hurried manner as she looked at that monster with fear in her eyes.

[You have been given a temporary boost of +20 Dexterity]

[You have been given a temporary boost of +15 Strength and +10 Dexterity]

[You have been given a temporary boost of +20 Strength]

[You have been given a temporary boost of +20 Constitution and +10 Intelligence]

[You have been given a temporary boost of +20 Strength]

My eyes concentrated on that thing standing there

[Temporal Deceleration!]

[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]

[Inspect!]

[C-Grade Zombie Sand Troll]

[Born out of Darkness and blessed by the Light, these races have near infinite health. Their power specializes in sand manipulation and superior healing. They also have developed a symbiotic relation with the Leda Bugs that specialize in increasing the defense of these creatures in return for nutrition from them.

Be careful, after becoming a Zombie, they also have developed the Power of Decay!]

My eyes traced through the description before moving to the [Monster Index]

[C-Grade Zombie Sand Troll]

[Description: Born out of…

Health Points: 1,000,000,000,000

Cessation Energy: 10,000/10,000

Skills:

1. Sand Manipulation(Unique): Allows the user to manipulate the sand around it as much as the user desires. Cost:1 Cessation Energy per hour.

2. Super Heal(Unique): Allows the user to heal 10% of energy every 2 minutes.

3. Decay: Whatever the user touches will start losing health 1% per second.

Stats:

Strength: 102

Constitution: 502,205

Dexterity: 32

Intelligence: 10

Wisdom: 8

Charm: 2

Weakness: After becoming a Zombie, the Sand Troll, which is already a slow race to begin with, lost their dexterity even more. Their intelligence and wisdom halted to what it was and never grew further.

Killing the bugs will remove the ability of decay from the Troll, while also reverses the process on the troll themselves as they will start losing 1% health once every 3 seconds.

Though having humongous health and regenerating ability, the Zombie Troll lacks any or all hemolytic properties, meaning once it will start bleeding it won't stop at all continuously losing health.]

"Phew!... Almost regretted not taking the [Skip Scroll] with me back then," I spoke as I saw the weakness of this guy.

While it did have some fantastic health points and stuff, I guess its weakness outshines its power.

'Now then… let's begin, shall we?' I spoke with a smile forming on my face.
