Chapter 50: Magic Blood! And...
.

[Day 32]
Today in the morning I decided to do some experiments.
And who to use other than my guinea pig, Yuki?
Hehe, come here, Yuki!
"Kyu?!"
Yuki begins to shiver as it thinks I am going to eat her or something.
Aw, come on, why would I eat my greatest source of sweet fruits?
It is another experiment, probably something that will actually help her.
So I got this one corpse I didn't eat.
Yesterday, we traveled a bit and found another group of zombies, which I killed using magic.
I ate the majority and kept a corpse of a Parasitized Ice Horned Rabbit.
I decided to do some experiment by pouring blood into it, and that's what I did just right now.
And it somehow gave me an interesting response.
The black and oozy mold withers and gibbers, the moment it touched my blood, it is like some acid to it, and it eve groaned in pain.
A piece of it tried to escape but I trapped it in some ice, and the other oozy mold died down… Well, it "died" but it simply stopped moving, maybe it was "neutralized" and that was it, it didn't die… it just became… I don't know, perhaps in a coma.
The thing is, not only I am immune, but my blood too, if I spray it over the zombies, it might even be a nice weapon.
But I am not going to go around spraying blood at these zombies, I am not a Vampire with a System that asks me to drink 3 liters of water a day.
But I want Yuki to drink it so maybe she can become immune to it or something just in case she touches this thing.
And so, I created a cup of ice, poured some fresh and warm blood, and then offered it to her.
She glared at the blood with a strange look.
"Go on…" I said through telepathy, but I don't think she understands my words.
However, she surprisingly took the cup and slowly drank my blood.
Oh, what a good girl!
Maybe she can understand me due to being my Pokémon?
I guess?
Anyways, she drank it.
She burps a bit, cute.
I pat her gently and then inspect her.

…
Oh?!
Yuki's stats… went up.
And also she gained four new Abilities by drinking my blood…
Did she get fast self-recovery, parasite immunity, status effect resistance, and ice dragon skin?
So her skin is harder like my scales? It looks the same as always though… but okay.
I guess it works.
It really does works, my blood is the cure for this parasite!
Anyone that drinks it can become immune to it.
Interesting.
And even more, they get extra power and abilities.
Interesting…
Wait, no, this is bad on some levels.
What if some greedy guy discovers this and begins to hunt me down for my precious panacea blood?!
Is this what being an immortal is all about? Everyone wants to experiment with you!
Ugh, well, I have to keep growing stronger and that's that.
Now, let's continue roaming around. I will try to kill and eat any zombie I find, the less there are the less endangered other animals are… I hope.
Eh? Doing this out of goodwill due to my concern for the natural ecology of the area?
Nah… I just want to see if I can get one of the overpowered Zombie Skills.
…
[Day 33]
It has been an arduous journey, but sadly… I have not gotten any overpowered zombie Skill.
Life is hard, I know.
It is often filled with many challenges! And I guess this is one of them now…
After napping in the skies, we reached an area of the pine forest that was coated in the black ooze everywhere.
The pine trees were coated too!
And there were pears with eyes!
It was like a Lovecraftian tale.
And the trees were moving too.
They had long tentacles and tried to catch us in midair.
I flew around and used my breath to freeze them one by one, and then, I shaped my wind as sharp wind spears, shattering the trees one by one.
And well, I also used my claws.
After that, I ate parasitized tree. Yes, I did. And it wasn't so bad.
I believe I ate around ten trees, and my stomach was completely fine with that.
I guess being an immortal also comes with a belly without limits?
Of course, it is not like I never feel satisfied, because after eating enough, I am.
There is just the ability to keep eating anyway, that's my superpower.
Is that a superpower?
Well, whatever it is, it is what it is.
After reaching deeper into the forest, we began to hear many groans and roars and found a large Ice Bear parasitized, alongside two Rat-Gorillas and a large group of wolves and rabbits all fighting against each other.
We glanced at the spectacle from above but at some point, they noticed me and tried to jump over us.
After getting the super undead boost, the damn rat-gorillas were super-fast and could jump incredibly high, so we had to fight them.
And by spraying some blood (hehe), they weakened a lot and we defeated them without breaking many sweats.
Oh yeah, I guess these guys once gave me some trouble… but now? I don't care! Trash! Die!
Or well, that's what some cliché main character would say, but I am a humble and good person, and I pray for their souls as I eat their corpses and mana cores.
After traveling for a while, we reach an empty area, like a wasteland.
There is only snow and destroyed trees… and a cave.
And from the cave, there's a lot of pulsating mold.
And inside… well, there's an enormous presence.
And it noticed us.
"GROOOOOOOAAAAARRR!"
A 6-meter tall bear-shaped mold monster suddenly appeared from the cave, its gigantic body seemed to be made of many corpses stuck together… and they all groaned together.
What was this thing?
Is this the original one? Or a Legion?
A Mini-Boss? Or a Hidden Boss?
Its giant claws hit the ground and make the earth shake, I could escape from this but… I want to defeat it.
Because… this thing is not what it seems to be.
