The mummy was trying to free itself from the spear but Matthew threw two bone spears at its knees to reduce the support point of the mummy's body after which he approached and severed its other arm.
[Host, recover the bone weapons you created or your body will be weakened]
Matthew picked up each bone weapon and made them enter his body again.
With the mummy almost defeated, he cut off its legs to completely immobilize it.
Then, he began to devour those dry and thin arms which caused his teeth to wear down and some to break.
[Your arms have become stronger]
[Zombie: Rank B]
[Coins: 13 brains]
"I need new teeth," thought Matthew who took the mummy's dried legs and the rest of the body and flew with his wings towards the tallest building in the city on whose roof he began to tear the skin, meat and bones from the mummy's severed leg.
A few hours later, Matthew's legs had also gotten stronger and he had obtained one more coin.
[Coins: 14 brains]
[Zombie: Rank B]
The sky was already dark, so sparks could be seen emerging from the chains on the nearby iron posts.
"Apparently, when those chains are broken, the mummies will attack all the beings or zombies that are in the city, they are a kind of guardians"
Matthew opened the chest of the mummy's body and saw a green heart with strange symbols, which was emitting a dark miasma.
Matthew removed the heart.
"I can devour this"
[Correct]
[By devouring the "heart of necromancy" the host, even if he loses his mind, will be able to maintain the connection with his body for a longer time]
Matthew devoured the mummy's heart, and a greenish liquid spilled from the corner of his lips and down his hands when there was no longer a trace of the heart that was devoured.
[Coins: 15 brains]
….
The zombie dogs were walking around, guarding the surroundings of the water fountain.
Matthew on top of a building finished devouring the remains of the mummy.
[Coins: 16 brains]
...
The sun was rising, there were some gray clouds in the sky, indicating that it might or might not rain, but the chance of rain still existed.
"Devouring zombies and different beings allows me to strengthen myself and acquire skills that make me more versatile when fighting, just as the system said. I must find beings that I can devour to guarantee my survival and also to strengthen myself"
Matthew turned his gaze to the D- rank zombie dog.
"He didn't increase his rank by devouring the head of that mummy, it's a shame"
Matthew looked towards the water source, as the energy of the spatial crack was now perceptible, he used the perception of the zombie dogs to be attentive to any changes and the possibility that some being or beings would emerge from the other side of that spatial crack.
"Did those who isolated this place trust those mummies so much? Nothing has happened in several hours. If so I can devour several mummies and although the most I can reach is the B+ rank, that does not leave aside the fact that I can get around 6 coins with each mummy. Although I don't think I will be able to devour the almost 100 remaining mummies that would be too optimistic. Furthermore, the moment all the mummies are freed from the chains, I will have to get away from this city"
Matthew created a "bone sword", spread his bloody wings, flew high, and then plummeted towards one of the hanged mummies hanging from one of the iron posts.
Court!
Matthew swung his sword and severed the legs of the still writhing mummy.
He walked away and approached again to cut off one of the mummy's arms, then repeated the process.
When only the limbless body remained, Matthew opened its chest and removed its heart.
Matthew devoured the heart instantly, bite by bite, and then cut the chains so that the rest of the mummy's body fell to the ground.
He took the severed limbs and body of the mummy and then entered a building to begin devouring.
As he entered the building Matthew's wings contracted grotesquely until they were hidden again.
The first thing Matthew did was tear off the dried gums from the mummy and devoured them along with the mummy's teeth.
[The host's teeth have been slightly restored]
"I'll need better quality teeth in the future," Matthew thought as he devoured the rest of the mummy's head bite by bite, then continued with the rest of the body.
