We keep going down and finally, we reached a gate. Beyond this gate is a hallway leading deeper down to treasures. After that, it's dead end

"Hmm… he's expecting us," I said.

"Who?" Shelia asked.

"There's an elf zombie inside. He's waiting for us since a while. It's the one who shot arrow at us previously. I can see a bullet wound in his arm," I said.

"Yeah, and I can feel my clone inside the gate," Victoria said.

Since I used Blobbybullet, Victoria knows the location of where the Blobby is. And its lodged inside the elf zombie's left arm. I think it will be difficult for him to use his bow anymore.

Well, that's if he's a normal elf. He's a zombie now. I don't think he can feel pain anymore.

"Since he's been waiting for us… let him wait a little more. We'll take a rest here. There's no other zombies nearby, so the smell is not that bad, right?" I asked Shelia.

"Yes. It's fine if I take off the mask here," Shelia said. But she didn't take off her Blobbymask.

"Let's just rest and drink some water to hydrate ourselves. I don't think I can enjoy eating our meal here," I said.

And so, we wait.

Of course I still make sure to keep surveillance on the elf zombie inside the gate. Since he can come out at his own will.

This time, the zombie seems to have emotion and intellect. Maybe we can communicate?

No, he's just a zombie. Even if he has emotion and intellect, it's best to just kill it. And this one is should be the strongest elf zombie in this dungeon. After all, beyond the gate is the deepest area of this dungeon.

There's no other monster here, and beyond the gate, there are only treasures other than the elf zombie.

Yup, I'm going to be rich. I mean richer.

"Roy, how long should we wait?" Spot asked.

"What? You can't stay still for a while longer?" I asked back.

"The enemy is just one, right? Since there are only zombies in this place, I can't eat them. They taste disgusting and poisonous. I'd like to go out of the dungeon and hunt my own food. Just you and Shelia alone are enough to defeat it, right?" Spot said.

"You might be right. Do you want to leave with portal?"

"No, I'll leave on my own. Just use portal if you're done here," Spot said as he quickly separated from us.

I don't think there are any monsters that he will have trouble with, so it's fine to leave him be.

As for the elf zombie, he's already feeling impatient. He's standing still while tapping his foot on the ground.

"Shelia, once the zombie makes a move, prepare yourself. We will wait until he opened the gate himself, I will kill him. But if I fail to kill him in one shot, you will do it," I said.

"Okay. You sure love to do things the easy way, huh?" Shelia said.

"If you want to fight him, you're free to do that, you know? I enjoy seeing everyone around me get stronger. And I know how much you love to fight," I said.

"Yeah, I love fighting. But I prefer to fight an enemy who doesn't smell as bad as these zombies. Let's finish it quickly," Shelia said.

I guess even werewolves have their own preferences. If I don't take a bath for a year, she might refuse to be near me. Well, that's impossible. Taking a bath is one way for me to relax. It's impossible for me to not take a bath for a long time.

And after waiting for another hour, the elf zombie inside finally makes a move. Since his arm is wounded, he can't use his bow and use a sword instead.

"Shelia, he's coming," I said.

I'm going to kill the elf zombie in one shot. Let's suppress my killing intent as much as possible.

And as soon as the elf zombie opened the gate, I run forward and swung Victokatana on the small gap. But the elf zombie has quick reflex, and he stepped back after blocking my slash with his right hand.

But that's not over. After I attacked, I kicked the gate open and let Shelia enter to finish the job.

"Wait! I give up!"

Suddenly, the zombie surrendered. And Shelia who was about to kill him stopped.

As for me, well, I'm not going to stop.

I quickly approached the zombie again to kill it.

"Please, stop!" the zombie said.

As if I'm going to stop. But what Shelia told me next makes me no longer want to kill him.

"Roy, he has similar smell to Tia. Not because he's an elf, but something similar," Shelia said.

Hearing that, I quickly change my target.

As I was about to cut his head, I stopped, and change direction so instead of cutting his head, I will cut his legs instead.

Now, the elf zombie lost both his legs. Though he's not dead yet. I mean he's dead because he's a zombie, but not dead as in… not moving. I guess that's the easiest explanation about zombie's death.

"You don't feel pain?" I asked the zombie.

"Not at all. Though there are still some blood left in my body, so I can still spill some blood," the zombie said.

Zombie doesn't feel pain indeed. But with both legs and his right arm gone, he won't be able to move anyway. His left arm is wounded, but he doesn't feel pain. Now that I look closely, his wound in his left arm makes it difficult for him to put his strength into his grip. That must be the case.

Shelia said that he smells slightly similar to Tia. Let's ask him directly.

"Do you know Elestias?" I asked.

"You know my daughter?" the zombie asked back.

"So you're indeed Tia's father. Nice to meet you. I will kill you now," I said.

"Wait, no! Well, I want to die, but I want to hear more about my daughter first!" the zombie said.

"She's fine, and she became my maid's summoned monster just the other day. Now, die!"

"Wait! Please explain in detail first!" the zombie said.

"You're a pain in the ass. Your daughter is fine, she and the elves are living outside this tree, and she's going to move with the werewolves soon after I return from here. What do you need to ask?"

"…actually, I have heard everything. I only want you to tell my daughter to leave this place because we never realized that this huge tree is a dungeon. But since you've taken care of that, you can kill me. I don't want to live another day as zombie," he said.

"Okay."

As I raised Victokatana, Victoria transformed into her human form. Now, I can't kill him.

"Wait! That's just weird! Roy, you can bring her here, right? Let's have her reunited with her father before you kill him!" Victoria suggested.

"Why should I?"

"Because he's just like us. He experienced death. You also have some regrets, right. And I also have many things in my world that I regret. But for him, it's just meeting with Tia, right? You can do that easily," Victoria said.

…she's right.

Well, it's not like I had any family or loved ones in the past, but Victoria might have some. She regretted how she can't say farewell. That's probably the case with Tia's father as well.

Without asking for the zombie's permission, I quickly opened a gate to Tia's location. I had her carry one Blobby with her so I can travel to her location easily. Lina should have explained about it to her.

When I opened the portal, I see Lina and Tia together. Sunny is there as well. Lina probably come to the Monsters World today without me knowing.

"What is it, Master of Master?" Tia asked.

Master of Master? I guess that's how she calls me.

"Meet your daddy," I said as I stepped aside so the elf zombie can see her. He's standing on his knee since I cut him below the knees.

"…Elestias. Been a while," Tia's father said.

"Father, hello" Tia said.



"Say something! Why are you two so casual!?" Victoria shouted.

"Well, it's not like we have anything to say to each other," Tia said casually.

"Yeah. And what I want to tell her has already been taken care of," her father said.

"And what is that?" Tia asked her father.

"Just for you to move away. Have you prepared everything?"

"Yeah. And look, she's my Master! And her other summon is Yellowsun!" Tia proudly introduced Sunny and Lina to her father.

"Oh, that's amazing! Please take care of my daughter. Well, I'm going to die again soon. Farewell, my daughter."

"…goodbye, father,"

…so casual.

I guess each family are different.

"Now that you have said your goodbye, it's time to die," I said.

"Wait! You're a summoner, right? Portals, a Black Slime, and a Werewolf. Seems like time has passed for a long time and many common knowledges during my era has disappear," he said.

"What about it?"

"Monsters who fight back will give you more magic to improve your level than those who don't. Give me my sword," he said.

Is that the case? I looked at Victoria who shakes her head. Seems like she doesn't know about it.

Maybe since I killed most monsters using sneak attacks, makes it harder for me to grow.

In any case, defeating a zombie who only have one arm left is easy.

I returned him the sword that he lost after I cut his right arm. He's grabbing it with his left hand. There's no power in his grip, but he's still trying to slash his sword at me.

I just easily killed him with Victokatana before his attack reach me. So easy.

The elf zombie died with a smile on his face. As for me…

"Finally! I'm advanced level summoner!"

I don't know if it's because he fought back, but in any case, I finally reached my first goal for this training.. Now I can proceed to the second goal, which is getting a powerful monster to make a contract with.
