Back at the zoo…
"What are you all gawking at me for?" Blaze asked.
"Apologies, my lord. We didn't mean to stare at… it," Marrow said, looking at the thing between his legs in awe.
It wasn't just her. Every single zombie was awestruck or confused after seeing their master. Well, technically, they were staring at the beast stuck between his legs.
"Rrr…"
The undead cheetah purred while Blaze rode on its back. It was an odd sight indeed. Especially since the cheetah had been stripped completely.
Its fur, its network of electric pulses, and even its horn. Blaze had taken all of it. But he didn't take everything.
Its claws and sharp teeth were all intact, so the beast wasn't as helpless as one would think. On top of it, now that it was a zombie, it wouldn't get tired at all. Which meant that catching it was next to impossible now.
Blaze took away the cheetah's gift of evolution and gave it endless stamina in return.
