Chapter 8: Hunting

Determined to take the gravedigger quickly, he stopped focusing on biting and used his bony hands.

Blood oozed from the gravedigger's eyeballs, and a snapping sound echoed as Reign's fingers pierced through completely.

The gravedigger wiggled around, but after a couple of minutes, he passed out when the blood reached his brain. He was still alive, but in a coma.

"Yummy!" Reign chuckled maniacally as he started munching on the gravedigger's head. He always preferred the taste of brain matter, so he relished the flavor.

[Level UP]

"Good, good," Reign chuckled to himself. It seemed the other group didn't hear their friends' screams because no one came to check on them.

(Attribute points +5)

(Skill points +1)

He quickly allocated his stats and put the 5 points on Agility. He needed to be faster in order to make his hunt more effective.

He also decided to boost his Bite skill. It was his only skill that could aid in killing, making it a no-brainer to improve.

============

With his agility upgraded to F+, he felt a surge of speed. It was as if he had regained the nimbleness he possessed when he was still a human. Every movement was much easier.

He also saw that his stamina got better, now at B-. Eating human meat has improved these stats. He noticed his old wounds were slowly healing, so this stat boost was really helping him out.

After consuming his prey, he realized his endurance didn't increase, indicating he hadn't reached the threshold. He didn't mind, considering it was just an extra point.

"Now let's hunt the other two," he grinned widely. He was already full, but eating two more wouldn't hurt. For all he knew, it might take a long time for more humans to come here.

Plus, there was the risk of the authorities checking this place if they found out that six people were missing. He needed to increase his power fast, just in case.

He exited the mausoleum, his undead eyes adjusting quickly to the darkness.

It didn't take long for him to spot the remaining two grave diggers.

They were digging a fresh grave, their shovels striking against the earth with dull thuds.

He watched them from a distance, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. As he crept closer, he could hear their hushed whispers and occasional laughter. The sound made his blood boil with hunger.

"Perfect," he chuckled to himself as he closed in on them silently.

When he was close enough, he dashed forward and pushed the first grave digger into the hole they had dug.

The other grave digger inside the whole spun around in shock just in time to see his companion falling into the pit before hitting him.

The three of them tumbled into the open grave together, their shovels and axes clattering uselessly against each other as they struggled in vain against Reign's superior strength.

"Zombie!" one of the gravediggers shouted after seeing Reign's large mouth .

"Thanks for stating the obvious," Reign grinned maniacally as he joked around.

As he continued his attack, the gravedigger desperately tried to climb off the grave, clawing at the soil, but it was futile.

Reign's powerful jaws firmly held one in place, making his attempt to escape futile.

There was no mercy or anger in Reign's eyes—just a monster acting on instinct, its prey struggling helplessly in its grasp.

One of them managed to pull himself out of the hole, but Reign was quick, clamping his jaws down on the gravedigger's legs. Unfortunately, the momentum of the jump carried the rest of the body out of the hole, while his legs were left behind.

"AHHHHHH!" The gravedigger started squirming in pain. As he checked his right leg, he saw that they were already mangled, with almost 90% of them bitten off.

"I-- I need to escape!" He groaned and started crawling away from the hole.

He could hear his companion scream in agony, but he was in no condition to help. He also needed to survive this one-sided massacre .
