Animated spears floated around Tsukune. Each made from steel treated to resist sea water. Nine floated around him each with the Pack Strength, Pack Survival, and All is One abilities. Each spear increased his strength and dexterity by 4 but together they increased his strength and dexterity by 68.4. They were his defense against close range attacks.
He stood in the middle of a massive invasion of zombies by the three lords and the count. In this respawned world the lord he originally defeated was alive. Three giants emerged from the flood of undead as they marched towards the school.
The count remained behind enemy lines directing his forces from a hidden location. He was much smarter than the lords who waded through their own numbers. Witches emerged from the stairs and charged only for his spears to attack them. His spears flipped through the air and homed in on their targets splitting through heads before ripping themselves free. With Animation V 10 animations were his limit +1 for every 10intelligence.

He raised his hands and shadows erupted from the ground. Hands black as the empty void emerged from the shadows and latched on to the colossal zombies. Though the strength of each massive titan of necrotic flesh was great they couldn't resist the cold might of the shadows. For as long as the spell was active the hands of shadows would keep the zombies in place.
Brimstone Spear III 122/350 – A spear of molten obsidian is launched at the enemy. 9D100 fire damage + 18D6 piercing damage. +1D100 fire damage every 20Intelligence.

Bound by a multitude of shadow hands they could do nothing but burn as their minions climbed to pull the spears out. The fires spread quickly burning the giants as Tsukune prepared himself to glass the area with fireball V.
He heard a whistling sound then the world around him started to explode. Chunks of concrete exploded all around him as the building collapsed. While he was busy subduing the colossal zombie lords the count moved his mortars in range.
Mortar damage negated by armor
Fall Damage 3D100
Damage taken 87
Tsukune 183/270
His ears were ringing, and he was trapped under some of the roof tiles. A steel beam rested on his chest. His right hand was still out pointed up. How much could he destroy?
Fireball Damage = Fire Affinity II +2D30 = (7D30 + 48) 1.4 = 3040.8 fire damage 168 meters radius.
Six fireballs flew up and fell back to earth before detonating. The explosion covered a third of a kilometer sweeping through the zombies. The flames rose over 100 stories and the stones around him cracked before exploding. White light took his sight as he finished drinking a greater health potion. Everything was swept away.
Tsukune slowly came to to the sound of rain falling. It pounded on his helmet and face mask rinsing the dusk and muck from his goggles. With his sight cleared he looked over to where his spell hit. Where buildings once stood, and an army of zombies once marched there was now a sink hole. Tsukune drank another health potion and began chuckling to himself. This was his power. He was powerful unstoppable nothing could beat him with this power. He turned to walk away then slipped in the mud.
Mud covered his goggles and he laughed again. He slowly made his way to his feet then sighed and wiped the mud away. He kept coming back here setting off the school alarms and calling the zombie army in the area to grind. That's all this was. Tsukune was following the art of war. He let himself appear as a lone survivor who attracted more trouble than he could handle. He showed some teeth but little else until the enemy forces committed. Once they took the field, he unleashed his fireballs and consumed the area in fire.
"This is the fifth time you've done this and the first time they used mortars. Normally the count doesn't take the field. You said this was the last time, will you stick to that?" Djinn III said. He had merged her with many rods until she changed. She no longer resembled a rod at all. He felt her snake like tale wrap around his neck like a scarf as she settled lounging on his shoulder right pauldron.
"I need a rebreather, an underwater camera, and a harpoon gun for the next world. With the loot from this battle I should be ready to buy them." Tsukune said neutrally. He had picked out exactly what he wanted and saved the pages on his computer. He needed around 1,500,000yen for the equipment.
"You could have looked up the manufacturers and used this world to find them." Djinn said. He rubbed her scaled head as she protested weakly.
"No searching out there invites the principality of unpredictability. I would rather not fall in an ambush by the zombie king and queen together. I've trained myself and grown stronger, but they are cunning opponents and I can't track them here. They aren't the same zombies I put a tracker on." He felt a gust of wind and his spears pierced the count.
Tsukune turned around to see his enemy mad and blinded by the flames and healing rapidly. He roared out and charged even while pierced by nine spears. Blue worms seeped from his wounds trying to drive out spears with wills of their own. Tsukune willed the spears away and fired six Brimstone spears in their place. He had only 18 spells to go before he felt magic sickness.
The count's mouth moved to say something, but his tongue was burnt out of his mouth and his throat and lungs were burnt. He moved by the supernatural force of the worms in his body. Tsukune used his time to look at the wounds made by his spears. They were shallow meaning that the blue worms offered some form of the same physical defense as the black worms. Though Brimstone spears had no trouble much to Tsukune's pleasure.
This was how Tsukune preferred to fight his enemies when they meant nothing to him. A hand to hand confrontation was unnecessary. He activated shadow hold and bound the zombie in place as the molten obsidian continued to pump out heat burning out the worms in the zombie's body. Tsukune took some forceps and collected a blue worm from the ground. He put it in a zip lock bag before placing it in his inventory next to the red worm.
Soon the zombie was a burnt-out husk devoid of life. It wasn't enough to bring him from 27 to 28 but still impressive. His hatred for their kind was satisfied for now.

Guns and bullets filled his inventory like never and he knew just what to do to lighten his load. He merged them all enough to make an IV for four guns.
Desert Eagle IV didn't look like itself. Holding it filled him with certainty like never before. There was an unseen power in the weapon. Djinn placed her hands on it.
"Master this weapon is waiting to receive a consciousness. You should grant it a name. I'm only a version III you've fed me over 1,110 rods to make me what I am. To take these weapons to the next level they need a name. Something to attach their power to." She said.
He held up the pistol in his hand and searched his mind for a name that could grant this weapon what it needed. "Oathkeeper, this will be the instrument I use to defend humanity." The sheer number of handguns needed to make this weapon into something greater was mind boggling. His spears were only II with a few abilities. Once he said the weapon's name it changed. The black rigid body gained pink and white metallic parts, the handle bent, and the gun began to glow golden.
He returned the gun to his inventory and left the others un named for now. Tsukune smiled this had been a great final trip. In a few more days he would get his equipment and go on a sea adventure. Tsukune activated ID escape.
On his bed was a very naked Maria Tsukune was in full armor, his spears were with him, and his Oathkeeper wasn't quite out of his reach. She looked at him and smiled. "I've left a present for you downstairs. A gift to my dear lover. Now you never have to worry about your parents dying of old age. Congratulations, I bet the children at school will be so envious." Tsukune dumped every point he had to willpower. He knew what she did to him what she did to his family. But why, he hadn't hunted any of her kind in this world.
"If they aren't themselves, I will have no more reason to hold back." His spears moved as she did pin her against the nearby wall. "Wait there while I see what you've done." Tsukune said. He had been in such a good mood and then he returned here. He had gotten some of his anger out and felt normal. He was going to go for a nice ocean adventure, take some pictures, and maybe swim with the mermaids. Was that so wrong? Why couldn't he catch a break?
He knew why. This was the burden of power and he had shirked his responsibility. He should have skewered her with Brimstone Spears in an ambush and done the same to the king. Tsukune rolled his shoulders. His shoulder pauldrons clinked. They were thick each granting a 50 to his defense. Combined with his Riot Armor II, Ballistic Mask, SOH helmet, Ballistic leg plates, Riot Boots, Enchanted belt, Arm armor, knee pads, and gauntlets he was well and truly protected. His armor was around 450 and he was heavy. His heavy armor decreased his agility by -10. Which wasn't really that big of a deal when he had 31 agility. That's twice what any normal human can do on their best day.
His mother ran at him mouth agape with white worms moving through her skin at a rapid pace. The bodies of his neighbors lay on their living room floor their bodies ripped apart. He tapped her and sent her flying against a wall. Then his father leapt on his back trying to bite through the metal scarf around his neck. Oathkeeper begged to return to his hand so he could put his parents down gently. Instead of grabbing his weapon he took two zip locked bags out of his inventory.
He shook his father off his body and put the blue worm in his mouth. The second it entered him his father began to shake and struggle on the ground. He moved to his mother and pulled out the red worm. Once her body accepted it, she began to change rapidly. This went against his plans completely.
When he took the worms and stored them, he had planned to give them to a virologist or maybe someone who worked with parasites. It was a childish dream that a vaccine could be made and given to children when they went to school. A simple and clean way to inoculate his fellow citizen. It was a way to give back to his home country. Instead his hand was forced. To protect those, he loved he had to give them higher forms of the parasite in hopes that they would retain more of themselves.
Slowly he made his way back to his bedroom where Maria waited. She looked at him with interest. "You changed them into crossbreeds. Interesting, Lords, Barons, and Counts three of the hydra's head in one body." A Brimstone Spear appeared over his right shoulder. The ceiling began to burst into flames as it hovered.
"I know it won't kill you, but I will feel better for it." Tsukune said.
"If you kill me, they will die. As they are now it will be years before the Mago within them are self-sustaining. You need me and you can't afford to make me your enemy Tsuki." Maria said.
"Kill her Tsukune, if you don't, she will have power over you forever." Djinn said. A thought occurred to Tsukune what if Maria was lying. This was a coin flip and he liked those odds. Five more spears appeared, and they rammed themselves into Maria's body.
Maria HP200,000, Strength 200, Agility 300, Dexterity 100
Abilities: Winters Touch X 10D100 ice damage every physical attack, Ice Armor X = negate physical attacks below 1000 cuts magic damage in half, Tundra's Embrace X – Multiply all ice damage by 10, Black Ice X – When using an ice attack enemy dodge rate must surpass 4D100 + agility multiplier. Regeneration X – regenerate 25% of damage taken every turn.
She was damn power more so than he could have imagined. The winter king was nothing compared to her. But she had the same weakness as any opponent. She was cocky, he had appeared weak when he was strong and now the tables had turned.
Brimstone Spears Fire Damage = (583 + 50 +2D30) 1.4 /2= 5,670 fire damage per action Piercing damage 456

She yelled out as the shadows took hold of her and held her there as the molten obsidian spears shattered her defenses. She opened her mouth and shouted out before struggling against her bonds. Only when she realized that nothing, she did could break the shadows holding her did she begin to panic. Tsukune took out a mana potion in front of her and downed it. He had six spells left before he couldn't cast again until he rested. The house was on fire and he could already hear the sirens. This was a mess and a half.
Maria had stopped struggling and began laughing. "You finally grew some fangs Tsuki. That makes me happy. But if you think this will kill me before the sirens get hear you're mistaken. Free me and I will let this drop. If you don't well then, I won't ever leave you alone. I've decided it, you're mine now Tsuki." Maria said. It was a good thing he could use free wifi and the local post office. His parents were dead and there was little holding him here. It was time to get away from here.
"Do what you want good bye Maria. I can't kill you you're too strong. But I can always hold you." Tsukune said and walked out the building as the flames grew higher. He closed the door to Maria's laughter.
"Let the hunt begin Tsuki this is your head start see you tonight." It was only when he had left the building and changed to civilian clothes that he realized his mistake. He could have used ID to bring her to a new world held her there with shadow hold and used ID escape to return here. Tsukune slapped his face. He could have celled her. This time she wouldn't be able to instant transmission her way back to this world. Tuskune shook his head at his lack of foresight.
Wisdom has increased from 7 – 9
As the weeks flew by and he waited for his package to come in he lived on the street going to school. Until his mother showed up one day and picked him up. She was herself and not. She brought him to a new house where he was given a new room. She cried most nights now and father worked constantly rarely coming home.
He put on his rebreather and armed himself with a harpoon gun. Tsukune needed a vacation. ID Water World.
