After touching the Stage 2 Crystal, many thoughts flashed through Zain's mind. The first one was the fact that it would bring him closer to reaching the next level. However, after absorbing the crystal, it was only a matter of ti until the others would find out, but he was quite concerned about what would happen then.
'Shark is the strongest of the group, but if he tried to kick out or fight because of this, can he do anything? I now have Skittle and Cobra, and Cobra is a huge asset for during a fight.
'On top of that, I will have my own strength and will be closer to level 6, making it even harder for Shark to fight against .'
With that thought in his head, there was no one he had to worry about here. Worst case, he would be kicked out of the group, but that would allow him to travel and find out more things on his own anyway.
The one thing Zain wanted to learn about before he left was about Shark. Who was he working for, and how much exactly did they know?
Picking up the crystal again, Zain held it in his hand and was ready, but he began to have second thoughts for a while.
'No, I need to absorb this. I need to increase my level and grow stronger. Judging by the categories, there is a chance that we could run into a Stage Three Zombie in the future. With the way the group is currently, there is no way for them to survive unless they get stronger parallelly with .'
[Would you like to absorb the crystal?]
[You will gain 1000 Exp points]
[Yes] [No]
After clicking yes, the crystal lit up slightly with a bluish tint. Zain felt a tingling sensation run through his body, and a few seconds later, the crystal disappeared.
[7,318/10,500 EXP]
[Would you like to absorb the crystal?]
[You will gain 1000 Exp points]
[Yes] [No]
[8,318/10,500 EXP]
'This is great. I just got loads of exp without having to do anything. It's a sha the exp requirent is getting quite high. If I could have used this on Skittle or Cobra, they probably would have levelled up straight away.'
The mont he thought of this, it made him wonder why he couldn't. So he decided to test sothing out. Then, trusting that the others wouldn't attack them anymore, Skittle and Cobra were both outside the room.
If Zain needed to make a quick getaway, it was easier for them to spot two zombies following him everywhere.
Now wanting to test sothing, he decided to order them inside, letting them into the room.
'Since Skittle is already a level 2, let's try this on Cobra first.'
Grabbing the stage one, smaller crystal, Zain took one of the daggers from Cobra's hand that seed to have a tight grip on them.
There was no command to let go, so Zain had to use his strength to pull his fingers open. Then, after he placed the crystal in his hand, he closed his fist.
'Huh, I was expecting so type of system prompt?'
[Horde mber Cobra has gained ten exp]
When Zain opened Cobra's palm, the crystal was gone. It had disappeared just like when he had used the crystal himself.
When looking back at the tray, there were now 19 small crystals still inside the thing. Although they wouldn't be enough for him to level up, looking at the other two, there was a good chance it could level them up.
'I'm going to get caught for taking the other crystals anyway, so I might as well as use them all up.' Zain thought.
Since Cobra was currently Level 1, it was just common sense that it would be easier to level him up first. Although he cared more about Skittle and would have liked to grow him first, in the end, Exp did nothing unless one levelled up.
Zain then went on to use nine more crystals and did the sa thing over and over again until the system gave another notification to him.
[Super Undead Cobra is now level 2]
[1 stat point can now be allocated]
After acquiring Cobra, Zain had thought about what to do with the stat point once the forr levels up in the future, and now, there was no hesitation in his mind.
[Stat point has been used on Agility]
[Agility 5 >> 6]
There was a picture in Zina's head. He wanted to build an army of those that specialised in different things, and because Corba was already fast, he was going to make him even faster. To the point where no one was able to hit him.
Since there were still more crystals to go, Zain started to put the rest into Skittle this ti, who had gained so Exp already after levelling up. He wasn't exactly sure how close he was to the next level up.
For so reason, the system didn't show the exp of those in the horde, only their level.
p
Four more crystals had been used up, and there were only six left. It was hard to say if Skittle was going to level up or not. Just when he had put the crystal in his hand though, he suddenly heard the sound of the door knob turn, and the door was already opened before Zain could react.
"Zain!" Kun said as he stared at the crystal in Skittles hand and back at Zain, wondering what the latter was doing. He could even see the tray pulled out and how many little crystals there were left in it. Imdiately, Kun shut the door behind him. "What are you doing?" he then asked.
