Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 53 The Zombie Girl

These shadowy figures appeared on the summoning circle, seemingly just projections from another dimension, revealing no specific details, only their general outlines.

The first one was a skeleton, and the only one that was recognizable—just look at the sharply defined leg bones and pelvis.

The second one looks like a bear's head? Round ears, a protruding profile like a dog's mouth, and the size of this head alone is comparable to the skull next to it.

The third one is vaguely recognizable as being dressed; the outline of the skirt is quite obvious, and there's long hair... Hmm, it shouldn't be a skeleton; it has flesh.

The last one was also the most indistinct; its entire body resembled a slime monster, constantly changing shape.

Although the book "A Brief Analysis of the Undead Summoning Spell" does mention that the entire summoning process follows an ancient contract and randomly summons several undead creatures for the user to choose from.

But this way, you don't know the species, you don't know the strength, and worst of all, you can't even tell if it's beautiful or ugly...

Are you sure this isn't a blind box?

So you're really just relying on your looks to try your luck, huh?

At this moment, several strange sounds with different tones were transmitted through the rune array.

The towering skeleton: "Click-clack?" (Wizard?)

Bear head: "Roar!" (It's edible.)

Skirt: "Clatter, clatter." (I'm not interested, you can do as you please.)

Slime: "Swoosh." (Pick me, pick me.)

"..."

Through the summoning circle, Wayne could understand what these undead creatures were trying to convey, but because of this, his expression became unusually strange.

What does the book say...? It seems to say that undead creatures summoned through magic are not very intelligent, right?

But judging from the way these four shadowy figures communicate, they don't seem to be unintelligent.

"Would you like to introduce yourself?"

After saying that, Wayne repeated it in González.

"Crack crack crack." (Powerful, brave, fearless... skeleton warrior.)

"Roar!" (I'll go with you as long as you provide free flesh and blood.)

"Garra." (...Get lost.)

"Shh." (Pick me, pick me.)

Four more voices came through, and Wei En made a decision almost instantly.

The first skeleton warrior is clearly mentally unstable, with an overly talkative nature.

The second undead creature that eats flesh and blood... What a joke! He only eats black bread now, where would he get the money to buy meat?

The third one looked very unwilling from beginning to end, so aloof?

The last one is clearly mentally challenged...

"It's you."

Having ruled out any problematic undead creatures, Wayne pointed to the third undead dress.

The other three undead creatures were greatly disappointed and disappeared into the runic circle, cursing under their breath.

The slime, in particular, flew into a rage, yelling, "Sh ...

The remaining silhouette of the skirt remained silent for a moment before staring with two empty eyes, "Garra?" (You, are you looking for death?)

Ignoring its attitude, Wayne followed the steps of the necromancy spell, imprinting the primordial mark on the rune array to complete the summoning contract.

As the contract was completed, the summoning circle dissipated, and the outline of the undead in the skirt became clear.

"Zombies?"

What appeared before him was another common undead creature besides skeletons—zombies.

It is also the type of undead creature mentioned most often in "A Brief Analysis of Undead Summoning Spells", simply because many wizards like to conduct experiments on zombies.

In the words of the book, it's useful and inexpensive...

The zombie lady, who could be described as female, opened her mouth slightly, and a series of rattling sounds poured out.

"You shameless wizard apprentice, you're not even that strong, yet you still..."

Her face was pale, and her eyes were sunken in their sockets, empty and lifeless.

Her skin was completely bloodless, with dark veins intertwined beneath her pale skin, forming a terrifying pattern.

You can still vaguely see some skeletal outlines, each bone supporting her skin so that she doesn't look as withered as a skeleton.

Her long, black hair hung loosely over her shoulders, reeking of decay.

Her fingers were as thin as withered tree branches, and some of her nails were broken or missing.

She was wearing an old white dress, the original gorgeous lace and embroidery still faintly visible, the fabric covered with dirt and faded pieces.

Her upper body was unusually slender, without any curves or fullness. Her shoulders were narrow, and her waist was slightly cinched, vaguely revealing her once elegant figure.

Wayne stood not far from her, tilting his head and listening quietly to her crackling sounds, without any reaction.

Because of the necromancy contract, he didn't need to worry about Miss Zombie posing a threat to him, and she wouldn't even have any thoughts related to it.

[Congratulations on forming a pact with the undead creature - the Zombie. You can now use necromancy spells to summon it to your side in battle. Reward: +2 Survival Points.]

[Note 1: Zombies, as common undead creatures, have a natural affinity for rotting flesh and can restore their resilience by consuming it.]

[Note 2: Zombie: Resilience Rating 65, Spirit Rating 32, Talent: Ghoul Eater. Skills: Death Plague, Howl of Fear, Claw Strike.]

[Note 3: Death plague, a dead plague insect deeply buried under the skin, can spread the disease to the surrounding area. It is contagious to organisms with a resilience level of less than 20.]

[Note 4: The howl of terror, the roar of zombies, can create a hallucination of terror in creatures with a mental level of 20 or lower.]

[Note 5: Claw Strike - The zombie's claws are extremely sharp, easily tearing flesh and creating wounds that are difficult to heal (can be treated with healing supernatural abilities or potions).]

Wayne looked at the zombie lady and became more and more satisfied.

Although her appearance is a bit strange, compared to a zombie covered in rotting wounds, her looks are definitely "pleasing to the eye".

Not to mention, she also possesses three powerful skills, which are more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

As for superhumans... how weak must a superhuman be if their resilience and mental strength are both below 20?

"Gararar." (You bastard, I will never forgive you.)

Snapped.

Wayne snapped his fingers, pointed at Miss Zombie, and waved to Little Axi Ghost, saying, "She's yours now. Teach her the rules here properly."

As a pseudo-gentleman, it is extremely rude of him to beat a woman without cause.

As the original offspring, Little Axi doesn't have that kind of idol baggage.

"Rules? Baba, what rules?" The ghost's eyes were full of eagerness, clearly showing his interest in this zombie lady.

"My word is law. Go ahead, I believe you will..."

Little Axi the Ghost flew over and circled around Miss Zombie.

"Call me Baba, call me Baba..."

"Garararar." (Get out of here, you ugly thing.)

"Call me Baba, call me Baba..."

Wayne: "..."

That's fine too.

All creatures that come to him belong to him, and they should be given heartfelt respect... what a load of rubbish.

It seems I'll have to teach the little Assyrians a lot about what the rules of Wayne Loft are!
