Three enemies with different objectives but reunited by fate in a struggle.
After being 'killed' by the zombie, Kirios used his ultimate technique, Beastly Transformation, this ability could not be compared to a Beast Warrior transformation but it was just as powerful!
The problem was that the person would assume a beast form without any chance of regression!
Adding to this the possible unproven side effects, a monster with the shape of a beast and a human head was born!
"You've forced me to discard my body and live like a creature! I won't let you get out of here alive!" Kirios shouted before joining the fight.
Kirios and the alligator attacked the zombie, although he was more powerful than both, his strength was decreasing from time to time and the fact that one of his arms was missing made the fight even more difficult.
Step by step the zombie was being repressed and he received constant wounds in his body accelerating his permanent dying process!
It seemed that everything was going to end with the zombie's defeat when a roar resounded throughout the Sacred Land.
"Arrrrgh!"
A thunderous roar echoed through the Sacred Land as the zombie grunted to the heavens as if they had a debt with him!
His spiritual energy was increasing in leaps while his hair fluttered along with the wind created by his pressure!
It seemed that a God had descended upon the Sacred Land!
Kirios and the alligator fell to the ground and trembled while being unable to move, their instincts stopped them from doing the slightest movement.
They were dominated!
Even Rainer had to fight to stand up and not succumb to the pressure.
The zombie's skin was detached from his body at the same time as a poisonous mist was flowing from his orifices, the whole terrain was changing in the face of the zombie's power!
His spiritual energy grew so fast that he broke through a barrier that many would be unable to overcome throughout their lives, he was about to step into the fourth cultivating stage, the Born Soul stage!
Rainer had never seen a cultivator at this level himself, he had only heard of them from Liann!
Cultivators in this stage would be able to use the divine sense due to releasing the chains that restrict their souls and ascend to heaven as immortal!
An enormous amount of spiritual energy swirled around the zombie who absorbed it out of control.
"What a dense spiritual energy!"Rainer sat down and began to cultivate, such a pure and dense spiritual energy could only be sought but not found!
Several minutes later, Rainer felt that he had reached a barrier, as if he were inside a bottle and the cap prevented him from continuing his journey.
When he was about to attempt a breakthrough, the zombie interrupted him.
"Arrrrgh!"
The zombie, with a power drawn from the gods stepped on the ground and cracked the whole swamp in front of him!
Kirios and the alligator tried to flee but a simple movement of the zombie turned them into pap, the only thing that remained was the greenish core eaten by the alligator.
One move and both were completely destroyed! Just like that!
"Finally... mine..."The zombie had recovered his core, after so long he was complete again and could fulfill his vengeance!
Ploff!
Under the covering of herbs and alligator's intestinal fluids, a black rose lay wrapped around the core.
The zombie had been wounded by a thorn from the Rose of Death!
His body went into a completely state of paralysis and collapsed on the ground.
"You mustn't pick things up off the ground, didn't your parents teach you that?" Rainer muttered as he approached the core.
Using a spiritual energy shield, Rainer collected the core and looked at the zombie, a pair of eyes injected in blood were looking at him full of rage!
So close and yet so far away! He was one step away from completing his body again but couldn't take that single step!
No matter how hard he tried to move his body, it wouldn't react in any way.
"It is said that zombies are immortal unless your core is destroyed, I don't know how you managed to survive so long without it, but this is where it all ends." Rainer tried to act cool while leaving to destroy the core.
The zombie just stared at him and couldn't move due to the Rose of Death toxin.
Regardless of your cultivation level, once you have been injured by the thorn of the rose, you will be entirely paralyzed!
"...!"
A crack had formed in the core and a small stream gas was escaping from it!
Without time to react, the gas came out in its totality and pushed Rainer before charging towards the zombie's body.
"Damn it! I'm a big mouth!" Rainer shouted before trying to stop the gas from entering the zombie's body.
