Author Note: Just to clear somethings up as people asked if I was a guy or girl and if modern weapons give experience. I am a guy and no modern weapons give experience however things that are repurposed or improvised into weapons DO give experience. That stops people running round with machine guns, tanks or nuking things. Also for those that don't like gore or whatever don't read this as it gets twisted kinda

On the way to reunite with the cafeteria group I thought about the Death Magic skill I had gained. I thought that my other skills let me use all magic as it was All Element Attributes but maybe is doesn't count as an element? If that is the case what is its opposite? Celestial Magic? Well no matter as no matter how I think of it I won't find answers as I need more information. I also remember what was bugging me before I left before. The guys I had travelled with were not part of john's group but I had seen John's lackeys chatting to some people recently. I disregarded it as they weren't originally part of his group and thought they might have been talking about the battle.

I got to the Cafeteria and was halted my one of the students on guard. Apparently they thought I was a zombie which was quickly disproven by the way I moved and that I could talk but he refused to let me past and sent his companion to get Yuki.

Yuki arrived at a run and flung her arms around me and started to cry and make incoherent sounds. If she was trying to speak to me then I had no clue what she was saying. I just stroked her head for a bit while hugging her and she quickly stopped and composed herself.

"Robert I am so glad to see you safe as we had heard you had been eaten by zombies."

"Well there was various circumstances but it turns out that John had those guys accompanying me try to murder me to get me out the way. Sorry Yuki but I am going to waste him right now and nothing you say will stop me."

"Ah well that might be a little complicated. See when you didn't come back but the others did john led about thirty people and stole weapons and food and took up residence in the history tower. We couldn't stop him as he took several hostages including Vi and the others. He took seven or eight hostages and said if we came after him he would kill them. We have been trying to think of a way to disable them and get the women back."

"Damn this shameless scumbag has no limits! Fine Yuki leave it to me I will deal with this matter."

"What do you mean Robert and how do you plan to deal with it?" Yuki asked me nervously.

"Well it is simple really. You can't approach as they will kill them so they say but that doesn't apply to me as they think I am already dead. As for how I plan on dealing with it, I plan to go in there and slaughter them all and take back what's ours." I replied to her in a voice that could freeze helium.

She shook at that. Not sure if it was because of my voice or the promise of ruthless violence. "Robert you can't take them all on by yourself so we are going to need to send some people with you. Also killing them might upset other people and they might not follow you in future."

"Yuki I am through playing games and it is time the gloves came off. He got others to try and murder me there can be no other outcome but his death. I don't care what people think to be brutally honest. If necessary I will become a tyrant to protect our people. I will look after those who follow and contribute and exterminate those who make themselves our enemies. I know Vi spoke to you girls about my profile that MI5 have that she read. On it should be an incident where I almost was kidnapped but some of my hired bodyguards prevented that right?"

"Yes that was on it, what of it?"

"Well the truth is a little different then that. I was kidnapped but I had to kill some of them and escape. It was once I was out in the clear that my families hired help went in and cleared the place out. what I am saying is I have experience in killing humans. How many others here can probably say the same? None most likely which is why I don't need people slowing me down when I attack. I don't need people hesitating or questioning me. if worst comes to worst then you can blame it all on me and I will be exiled when we can all safely get out of here."

"To be honest the history tower might be a good place to defend as there are only three entrances to defend and they are all pretty much next to each other and I have to fight by going upstairs so they have a high advantage but that is the only advantage they have. Even though it is a tower the stairs are broad enough for three people to fight abreast which will give me a possible maneuverability advantage depending on how many guards they post, and more importantly although it is a tower it is still joined onto the academy so it is easily accessible and I can walk right up to the entrance without anyone on the higher floors seeing me."

"Sounds like you have thought this through and aren't going to charge in blindly. Very well do what you have to but just promise that you will come back to me safely and bring the girls back as that is what I care about."

"I will I promise. They are nothing but inbred vermin and I am the exterminator. They are about to find out what it feels like to be prey hunted by a predator." I gave Yuki a hug and a French kiss then set off towards the history tower.

With every step my anger grew until it threatened to overwhelm me. If this was a pokemon game then it would go a little like this: Robert selects the rage command, Robert's rage is building, Robert's attack rose.

As I got to one of the entrance's of the tower I spotted five peons on guard. I Immediately cast silence followed by entangle then blind. they could no longer move or see to run away and they couldn't call for help either.

I swept into the five like a whirlwind and decimated them utterly. After they were dead I thought I would try out my new magic and raised them into zombies. Interestingly enough I felt some sort of link to them. Perhaps a mana link? Regardless as they were recently deceased they looked nothing like the other rotten mouldy zombies from earlier.

Perfect I can use these to attack the others. They could also move much quicker then the shambling corpses as well but from what I could see they couldn't use weapons. Maybe their increased speed had to be because I was the controller and they were getting mana or something through me from then link, or it could be because of the fact that they had just been raised. something to experiment on at a later date. One experiment I am going to try now though is to see if I get experience from them killing other things.

I did the same process of magic at the other entrances and sent the zombies in to kill both groups of five then raise them. I actually did get experience from the kills but not much as the enemies were low level. One interesting thing was that the zombies when raised were at my level rather then whatever level they were at when they died.

I opened the door to the next floor and silently went up to scout ahead before bringing my new pets and playmates up. I let out an evil grin when I saw that there were eight people on this floor and three of them mere the bastards that injured me and left me for dead at the hands of the zombies. Because of the silent takedown of the groups downstairs no alarm had been raised so they were sitting around chatting and eating and were completely off guard.

I decided that I wouldn't use any magic or kill them myself but rather let my zombies kill them. See how they liked being eaten alive and ripped apart. Poetic justice. The scream will alert the others on the floor above but I wanted that so they could quiver in fear.

I crept back down to my minions and sent them up stairs to attack. I was able to use the link to perform a soul link to let me see through one of the zombies eyes and control its actions. As my mini hoard swept into the room the look on their faces was utterly priceless. I singled out the one who stabbed me and had my zombie break his sword arm. He did manage to get an attack and his sword pierced my zombie hosts chest and stuck there. Surprisingly enough it actually hurt! As he rolled around on the ground in agony, I  had the zombie dig its hands into his guts and start eating them. That was the last things he saw as the light faded from his eyes and he died with a look of shock and horror on his face.

I sat there on the bottom floor with a satisfied and smug expression on my face. That was so amazingly good, at least for me. one thing to not was that the people killed by my zombies didn't turn them into more zombies upon death so I had to do that. I found through my link I could use the zombie to see them and cast the spell and raised the rest up. Onto the final floor.

Because of the screams the stairways were guarded by the remaining henchmen. I had yet to see John anywhere. My zombies charged up the stairs and started to eat the guards. they managed to kill some of the zombies but the thing about them is they attack in a wave. Unless one has magic or something like guns to repel zombies fighting a hoard at close range is practically suicidal. This case was proven when they couldn't swing their swords properly because of the tightly packed bodies. One person after seeing the zombies eat his comrades decided to jump out the window head first and landed with a sickening crunch. Bastard, I wanted to kill them all. What a waste of experience that I could have made.

One room on that floor was locked which I assumed that was where the captives where being kept and another had john cowering at the back under a desk trying to hide. This was something I absolutely had to do with my own two hands. I had my zombies capture him and drag him from under the desk and made my way up to John.

"Well John look how the mighty has fallen. Where is all your arrogance and pride gone?"  I taunted him.

"Y-you! You are supposed to be dead." he screamed at me.

"Well in that case I look pretty good for a corpse eh? For your information I was dead but there is no power in the universe that could stop me from coming back to take my revenge. Don't worry though I am not a greedy or selfish person who likes to hog everything to myself, that being the case I shall let you experience being chewed on by zombies and death as well. Don't say I never give you anything."

"Wait, wait spare me! I know we have had our differences in the past but this is a bit much don't you think? Let's let bygones be bygones and start anew what do you say? Ah if it about the girls they are all locked it the other room. don't worry I haven't touched them yet."

"Pathetic, truly pathetic. you haven't even bothered to put up a fight but rather decided to beg for your life. where you expecting to appeal to my mercy? I have none. I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt when this all started as Humanity is on the verge of annihilation, but instead of pulling together you tried to rule and dominate. You say you haven't touched the girls yet? So you intended to right? I think we are done talking so there is only one thing left to hear. In case you are wondering its your dying screams." With that I moved to him and cut hit tongue out.

"You kidnapped these women and tried to kill me off because of your jealousy and lust. you were thinking with your balls and dick and as such I think you can do with out them." I froze his offending appendages then smashed them.

"You have always been a slippery snake and arrogant little worm so you should craw on your belly as such" I cut off both feet and hands and used fire to cauterize the wounds.

"You have always been a little bitch and now it is time to make you into one properly. Relinquish  your anal virginity!" I had the zombies remove his cloths and pounce on him. Well his henchmen were always butt scum anyway so it is rather fitting. I took the key from his trouser pocket and went to release the girls. I closed the door behind me while he was crying and wailing in pain and humiliation.

As I opened the door I had to dodge as a chair was swung as my head. Clearly they thought I was one of the kidnappers coming to violate them.

"Robert?! We  were told you were dead!" Vi squealed and dropped the chair and dashed at me.

"Fufufu I knew my man would come through" That was Fran hugging me from the side and had her breasts pressed up tight against me.

"Husband." That was Annabeth hugging me from the other side and resting her head on my shoulder.

"Glad to see you girls aren't hurt or anything. He didn't do anything to you or anyone else right?" I inquired tensely.

"Nope he put us in here and said he would wait for us to come and offer ourselves willingly. He was going to keep all water and food from us until we had and then, once we has he would share us around after he had broken us in and properly trained us."

"Ok lets get all of you back with the main group. Vi are you ok to lead them? If not go wait downstairs and I will come with you. I have something to take care of up here."

They headed downstairs and I headed to the room I had left John in.

"Well this has been a long time in coming I guess so it is finally time to put you out of my misery." With that I cast Flash Freeze on him and all the zombies and shattered them into pieces.

I reunited with the others and let them know that everyone had died and were attacked by zombies. I had a few strange looks from my trio but they never spoke out. They know I have magic and they also know zombies where on the other side so it is a bit of a strange occurrence that they would be here. They knew I was covering things up I guess. With that we all went and rejoined the group in the cafeteria who were in the process of cooking dinner. Excellent after that workout I was famished.
