I Became A Zompirewolf

Moments earlier...

Ashton found himself racing towards the direction of the explosion. He was doing it out of some noble intention of saving Virgil and his squad or something. He simply wanted to know what was going on there. Also, the three of them could have accidentally stumbled across the fabled breeding ground and if that was the case, then Ashton was not gonna waste his time anymore.

"Well, if nothing else, at least I'll be able to get enough exp to level up. But first... gotta deactivate the genes. I'm pretty sure Seven is also headed in that direction." Ashton mumbled to himself as he jumped over a fallen tree, "And I don't wanna expose my secrets just yet."

The explosion was very far away so it took him a lot of time to even get in the vicinity. However, as he did he couldn't believe what he was seeing in front of him. Even from a distance, the creature was easily visible to him after all, this Monklin was way bigger than the one Ashton had been bullying till now.

Also, the monklin's appearance was different as well. Instead of being covered in the green goo, this creature was covered in fur. However, when Ashton used [Detection] on the beast, he realised it wasn't a monklin at all. It was a different species called Gorillan.

Remark:

Gorillan, also known as the king of Monklins, is a rare night creature not often spotted as it enjoys its sleep and can sometimes sleep through a decade. However, if something interrupts its sleep, it enters an enraged state which boosts its damage by 100% while reducing the defence by 30%.

Once enraged, only their mates can calm them down as only one of them sleeps while the other mate protects them. Usually, it's the male who often guards the females who also happen to sleep more often than the males.

Note: Humans were afraid to go against normal gorillas, if you think you can fight a mutated and overgrown bastard like this one then maybe you need to get your head checked. You might be missing an important organ there.

Ashton ignored Lucifer's expert opinion and wanted to attack the beast. In his mind, he wanted t level up as fast as he could to get his hand on a class. But for that, he needed to kill or at least keep inflicting damage to the Gorillan till he levelled up again.

The safest way to do that would have been to attack the beast from a range and not charge in like a certain foolish bitch was doing. Ashton immediately took out the crossbow he had taken from the female bloodsucker he killed back in Maddencreek as it was the only ranged weapon he had and shot multiple shots at the gigantic creature.

Since the gorillan was huge, he didn't even have to aim properly. Ashton randomly took his shots and most of them landed right on the creature's body.

Back to the present...

Ashton had made every calculation he could think of... all of them but one. What would he do now that the creature's agro was on him? It couldn't simply keep shooting at the Gorillan getting 5% exp per hit.

Then there was the decay factor, the more he would hit the giant the lesser exp he would get the next time. He could keep shooting the damn thing again and again only to level up in his dreams. Also, he only had a limited number of arrows, they wouldn't even last a couple of minutes, let alone hours.

"There's no other way. I will have to use everything in my arsenal to even stand a chance against him." Ashton thought to himself as the Gorillan came rushing towards him.

It was a good thing Ashton surpassed the Gorillan in terms of agility and easily rushed past him. As for the gorillan, he was so focused on Ashton, he ended up totalling down a couple of trees before tripping over himself.

"On your left, slowpoke!" Ashton flipped the Gorilla off as he arrived next to Virgil who was now on his knees.

Ashton was no expert, but his condition did not look good at all. His blood was everywhere and despite Fae's best of attempts, she could only manage to stop the bleeding but not heal the wounds.

"You'll owe me for this." Ashton joked before handing Virgil a couple of high-grade Hp potions that Ashton had bought from the black market, "Now get away from here asap. I don't want you guys anywhere remotely close to me."

"Are you mad?" Renee immediately retorted but was silenced by Ashton.

"You charged right at him with a dagger that wouldn't even pierce through its fur and I'm the mad one?" Ashton scoffed, "Virgil needs to get out of here and it would take both of you to do that. So get going."

It looked like Renee wanted to say something else, but Fae stopped her, "He is correct. We have to get out of here, if we don't then we'll only end up as a burden to him."

Seeing no other way, Renee slipped under Virgil's shoulders and got him back to his feet, "We'll inform the guild about the situation. Just keep the bastard busy till then."

"Yeah, yeah. Now go."

Right as the trio disappeared into the forest, the Gorillan finally got back to his feet and once again charged right towards Ashton.

"Oh shit, here we go again," Ashton mumbled with a smile.
