Chapter 19: Genis's Care
After killing zombies for a whole day, Jayden returned to the tower to get some rest. Just today, he has killed 2159 zombies; with a hint of excitement, he opens his status window.

A wide grin appears on Jayden's face as he sees his status; very soon, he will be able to upgrade something else with the Blood Points. After checking the surrounding carefully, he went to sleep; although he could go on without sleep for a long time, without sleeping, he would accumulate fatigue, and that would increase his consumption of Hunger points.
Nothing eventful happened during the night, and Jayden got a peaceful sleep in a not-so-peaceful land.
...
[ Day 3 ]
Early in the morning, Jayden woke up as usual and went on the killing spree again. With levelling up, his speed of killing the zombies has increased by a lot.
Using Andrea as a katana, he killed zombies without a pause. After killing for the whole day, he returned to the tower.
[ You have killed a zombie, level 26 ]

Today he has killed 2831 zombies. He again opened his status and saw it. With each passing day and the lack of interaction with anyone else, he was feeling mentally exhausted and lonely.
During the whole time he hunts the zombies, he laughs maniacally, acting like a mentally ill person. He started to talk to himself and felt his sanity slipping away a little.
He again opened the status window:
******
[ Name: Jayden XXXXX ]
[ Race: Blood Vampire ]
[ Class: Vampire slave ( level 65 ) ]
[ Blood Points: 8,758 ]
[ Hunger Points ]: [ 3266/3800 ]

After seeing his status again, he smiled and went to sleep.
...
[ Day 4 ]
As usual, Jayden woke up early and went hunting zombies. It has become a routine for him, kill and sleep.
[ You have killed a zombie, level 43 ]
[ You have killed a zombie, level 36 ]

After killing for the whole day, he returned to the tower; today, he has killed 3153 zombies. With slight anticipation, he opens his status window.

[ Name: Jayden XXXXX ]

[ Blood Points: 13,411 ]
[ Hunger Points ]: [ 3266/4300 ]

He looks at the Blood points and nods with satisfaction. Levelling up and evolving skills have become the only joy for him now.
" Should I upgrade 'Memory Manipulator'? "Jayden said out loud.
' No, you should also focus on defence; what good is that skill in front of these mindless zombies? ' He reprimanded himself.
" Yeah, you're right. Should I upgrade my Armor or fake Aura? " Jayden spoke.
'High-level zombies haven't shown up yet, but we can't be too sure about when they will. We have to be prepared and evolve our Armor. ' Jayden internally voice said.
" Hmm, alright. Armour it is, then. " Jayden said while clapping his hands.
He opens the status window:
...
[ Genis's care] { Level 1 [0/10,000 ] BP }:
[ An armour that can protect your whole body from the attack of enemy level 150 or below. And twice a day protects you from spiritual attacks.
(2/2) ]
...
After taking a deep breath, he puts 10,000 Blood Points into his armour.
He thought just as when he evolved Andrea, strange things would happen again. But to his relief, everything went much more smoothly this time.
...
[ Condition for Evolution fulfilled ]
[ Evolving Genis's Care ]
.
.
.
Just as those messages popped, Jayden braced himself for any kind of pain. But it never came; the Armor shone brightly with a golden light.
Jayden felt it is becoming lighter and lighter. It felt to him like it was becoming a second skin to him. Scales-like patterns appeared all over it, which was previously plain. It turned into an even darker shade of black.
Small spikes appeared on his shoulder, elbow, and knuckles. The spikes were bright red and looked very short on the surface.
After a few more moments passed, a message finally popped in front of him.
[ Genius's Care Evolution complete ]
******
Calming his excited heart, he opens the status window for the Armor.
[ Genis's care] { Level 2 [0/1,000,000 ] BP }:
[ An armour which can protect your whole body from the attack of enemies' level 1000 or below. And three times a day protects you from spiritual and mind attacks.
(3/3)
Provide defence against elemental attacks by 30%. Spikes have a 50% chance to stun the enemy for 1 second. ]
[ Additional ability ]:
[ Absolute defence]
[ For 10 minutes a day, it allows you to be completely invincible against attacks of enemies' levels 10,000 or below. (Cost: 2,000 HP) ]
******
Seeing the status window, Jayden was ecstatic; not only would it provide complete safety for enemies up to level 1,000, but it would also provide defence against elemental, spiritual, and mental attacks. And the spikes on the Armor could stun the enemies.
But the best thing about it was its absolute defence. For 10 minutes, he will be invincible against enemies up to level 10,000. Although the cost seems high for now, nonetheless, it's a great skill.
With the absolute defence of Genis and the dragon transformation of Andrea, he would be pretty much invincible against enemies up to level 5,000 easily. As he still didn't have the means to harm or kill enemies of higher levels.
With a last look at his status, he slept with a smile on his face.
******
Day after day passed, he would wake up, kill zombies, come back, check the status, and sleeps. He continued this routine day after day.
On the sixth day, as he was killing zombies, a message popped in front of him while he cut a zombie to bits and pieces.
After seeing the message, a feeling of joy and accomplishment gripped his heart; he had been working so hard, and it felt like his hard work had finally paid off.
Without giving a second glance to the zombies around him, he ran back to the tower. He sat there with crossed legs as he observed the message again and again.
...
[ You've reached level 100. ]
[ Condition for Evolution met. ]
[ Starting Evolution... ]
...
As soon as those messages popped, Jayden's mind went blank. He felt his whole body go numb; he was slowly losing consciousness.
With a hazy look, he saw himself being lifted in the air, he was almost unconscious as he felt something surrounding him, and he finally passed out.
