The First Dragon God

The young lady was extremely shocked. She didn't understand how a mortal who just awakened most likely less than ten minutes ago, on a new awakened planet could see through her high-level concealment skill.

The current level of her concealment skill makes it even hard for some of those higher level beings to sense her. This is the reason why she was able to sneak into this newly awakened planet unnoticed.

But as if she was being mocked, right now in front of her, there's a level 0 mortal that can see through her concealment skill. Was the System joking with her?

"Hey, how is it that you can see me?" She asked curiously.

"I don't know. With my two eyes?" The mortal asked as he looked like he was looking at someone stupid.

Leo found the young lady's question to be extremely stupid. How was he supposed not to see her when his eyes are wide open and working perfectly? Or is he not supposed to be able to see her?

He didn't even want to think about anything else as all he just wanted was to get himself and the unconscious Ms Ves out of the rain and snow, and to somewhere safe.

He still has to be cautious about the people on the floor that would very likely turn into zombies just as the young lady said.

He stopped paying attention to the young lady and quickly looked around for an intact building. He saw one and started walking towards it while dragging Ms Ves along.

Tatiana was about to explode when she saw the mocking expression on the mortal's face when he answered her question. He saw how he looked at her like she was stupid before ignoring her.

She was angry but she quickly controlled her emotions. She knew that she wasn't somewhere she could behave recklessly and get off without any consequences.

Also, she found the young mortal in front of her to be very interesting. Not only could he see through her concealment skill, he could also understand what she was saying perfectly.

If she didn't know better, she would have thought he was one of those vermin but she knew very well that she was the only foreigner on this planet at the moment.

She was very curious about the identity of this interesting mortal in front of her and she wants to know everything about him. Even to the last tiny detail.

"Suddenly, this planet isn't so boring anymore," She said as she did a twirl in excitement of what's to come.

"Hey," She called out as she ran to catch up with Leo.

Leo saw the young lady now running towards him with her servant following behind her but he decided not to pay any attention to her.

He has so many questions that he wants to ask them but his safety and that of Ms Ves was what's paramount at the moment.

He continued walking to the building and dragging Ms Ves along. He found it surprising that even after dragging her on the ground from the car to their current location which is more than 20 meters, she was yet to wake up.

Forget about waking up, he hasn't even felt her stir and this was even with the heavy rain that was falling.

Leo noticed that he was starting to feel the cold as his body was starting to freeze up. He was actually surprised that he hasn't frozen up from staying so long in the combo of heavy rain and snow.

Even if it has only been a little bit over ten minutes since he got out of the car, it was already long enough for him to have freezed to death.

He was actually very worried about Ms Ves who was unconscious. He just hopes that he can get them to safety before she freezes up or the people on the floor turn completely into zombies.

His thought seemed to have jinxed the situation as he saw someone who was previously thrashing wildly, suddenly go still.

Leo felt a very strong sense of foreboding when he saw the person suddenly go still. He immediately picked up the pace and started walking faster towards the building.

He had only taken a couple of steps when he heard a deep, guttural growl. The growl sent shivers down his spine and he slowly turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

It was the same person he saw suddenly go still before. He or should he call it, as what he's looking at looks no different from a humanoid monster.

The person in front of him has an unhealthy pale skin, completely white eyes that look empty, a very emaciated body and a very ferocious look on its face, radiating hunger and malice. This was coupled with the bone chilling snarls that were coming out of its mouth.

Leo's heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he saw this. The man in front of him looked exactly like those creatures.

Realizing what this means, he picked up the pace even more as he continued walking and dragging Ms Ves to the building.

He knew the key characteristics of zombies. He knew that they were attracted to sounds but he wasn't sure if the zombie in front of him was the same.

Even if it was, Leo felt that the sound of the heavy rain was more than enough to drown out all other noise in the surrounding, with his and Ms Ves included.

Unfortunately for Leo, something completely unexpected happened the next moment.

Growl!

The zombie roared and bolted towards Leo in a series of erratic movements.

Leo's eyes widened in a mixture of shock and surprise when he saw this.

The two emotions immediately gave way to fear, a type of fear that Leo has never felt in his life.

The fear caused him to momentarily lose focus of what exactly was happening and he froze up. What he could only do was watch the fast approaching zombies get closer.

As the zombie approached him, Leo felt like his name was being written in the black book of death. He felt that he was going to die there and then, and without a chance to put up a fight.

Without having any idea of what happened or how it happened, Leo snapped out of his stupor at the very last minute.

The zombie had already reached him and its claw was right in front of his face.

Leo's eyes widened and he didn't know what happened as he immediately sidestepped, causing the claw to miss his face by just a hair width.

He wasn't allowed to calm his rapid beating heart or catch his breath before the zombie attacked again.

It swiped its claw at him but it was another miss as Leo was able to move out of the way before the attack reached him.

Without giving him a moment of respite, the zombie attacked again with its claw and bared teeth.

Leo immediately reacted without any thoughts and out of impulse due to the fear he was feeling. He punched the zombies in the chest, stunning it a little and causing it to stagger backward a little.

He didn't give the zombie time to react as he punched it in the face. This time, the punch didn't have much of an effect on it but only served to enrage it.

"Roar!" It roared angrily into the air, with intense hunger, malice and ferality emanating from it.

Immediately, it rushed towards Leo and with even more intensity than before.

The young lady was standing at a distance and watching the battle between Leo, and the zombie in interest.

"That punch right now…" She said as her eyes narrowed slightly in thought.

"It's just as you guessed, Princess. It's not an amount of power that a level 0 being should be able to bring out," Elda, who was standing behind her, nodded.

"Is he?..." She asked curiously.

"No," Elda replied.

"I see…" She said with an intrigued smile.

She was looking forward to what more surprises Leo has in store for her but he would have to survive all the way and she wasn't going to help him in any way.
