RE:BORN Zombie-Chapter 147 Clues

The following month after Victor left for his supposed adventure, he came to a certain settlement where the inhabitants there behaved less civilized, or in better terms, not as technologically civilized as the rest of the world. They didn’t even seem to know that the world was different.

Victor, of course, did a bit of research, and what he found was definitely worth calling shocking, not that he was.

There was a certain cave close to this settlement, and the moment Victor got close to the cave, he received a system message that something was interfering with the system’s functionalities, and also something was blocking the usage of his skills.

This discovery was certainly interesting. Victor went back to the village had to get more information as to what the cave was.

The villagers themselves didn’t know what it was, all they knew was that it was a no go area for anybody, and were even shocked to see Victor return alive.

None of the villagers had any sort of power or skill. To put it plainly, they were not awakened, or so it seemed. Victor believed their powers were being suppressed by the effects of the cave that also seemed to be strong. Maybe weaker awakeners felt more of the effect than stronger awakeners like himself.

As he couldn’t get anything from the villagers, he headed inside himself. Though his skills were blocked, he still had his abilities and natural physique, and being an Origin vampire, it was no joke.

Entering the cave, Victor could make out little details around, but there was no light source, so he had to rely on his natural night vision.

The initial entrance was just a very long and bent passage way that kept extending inwards. It had several markings on the wall, which Victor couldn’t make sense of. The entire structure was tiles with fine blocks and slabs, and the interior was spacious enough to accommodate two people walking side by side with no problem. The ceiling also had some distance from Victor’s head.

Victor still had no need to be too vigilant consciously as his senses were still sharp, even without some of his passive skills. Despite that, the way through the passage was completely straight and continued like that even after he had been walking for hours. He got so deep that he could no longer see anything and the darkness completely engulfed everything. At this point, Victor’s other senses kicked in and helped paint a mental image for him to know his surroundings.

After walking steadily for almost a day, Victor finally came to an opening where he could feel that the material was different, wood. There were five such signals he was getting from his senses, and he was sure these were wooden doors.

Though Victor had been on guard, just in case any monster popped out, it never happened.

Standing before the five doors, Victor couldn’t help but think that these may have been placed there in the form of trials or something similar.

‘I’ll have to go door to door then.’ He said to himself in his head.

The entire place was still completely pitch black and he couldn’t see anything, but that changed as soon as he pushed open the first door.

In the end, after spending time within the cave, Victor came out of the cave back to the surface. The experience inside the cave was very unexpected, but never the less it was a bit fun. The think though, was that it didn’t provide any clue what so ever concerning anything.

Victor went towards the village to speak with the people there, and after a brief talk with the village head, he left.

He had been away for a while, so it was time for him to return, at least to check up on his people and organization.

Instead of straight up teleporting away, Victor decided it was better to go on foot, not like anything important was happening at the moment. After Victor reached a certain city however, he changed his mind about just travelling by foot.

The entire settlement he just walked into was completely destroyed with signs of battle here and there. He immediately teleported back to Under Current’s HQ where he would spend most of his time, so will Veritas.

From thin air, Victor appeared surprisingly as this visit was very unexpected. However, Veritas wasn’t inside the room, so Victor left the room by himself to ask what the matter was.

“Where is Veritas?” He asked randomly, directing the question to those around him after he stepped out of his office.

“Umm, Sir…” A voice spoke up as they came closer to him.

The man who answered Victor quickly filled him in as fast as he could about the situation at the moment. Apparently, while Victor was away, the earth had been attacked by monsters, and rumor has it that these monsters came from the seas and oceans.

Victor found his way to the information department of Under Current immediately to get better information on what was going on.

When he got there, he was greeted as procedure required, and from then on the head there personally filled him in on what was happening.

Some time ago, while he was away, various parts close to large water bodies were attacked by monsters that came out of the waters. It all happened almost simultaneously at first which almost felt like something that was staged, but then there were other possibilities.

There was the possibility of a dungeon opening under water that had not been discovered, and due to that fact broke. This was the best possibility, with the worst case scenario being that it wasn’t a dungeon but a gate. That would mean even more monsters.

All the monsters seemed to be related to the aquatic habitat, so it made sense to suspect such a dungeon would open under water.

At the moment, humans had to fight the monsters that had made it unto land first before they head into the waters. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

So far, majority of the monsters on land had been taken care of, and some places had even started heading into water.

During this time, Under Current received a request to help out one of the cities located close to the ocean, and Veritas went along to see the situation for herself.

Hearing all this, Victor wasn’t worried in the least. From his personal conclusions, if the monsters were that many, it was either a gate that broke, or multiple dungeons that were unattended to.
