Undying Warlord

Even though Dilan was still frustrated about the evening before, he calmed himself down as he walked up the stairs towards the second floor.

His steps were not loud, yet the gloomy silence all around him made his steps echo throughout the surroundings.

However, that was not something that unnerved Dilan.

Rather his mind was able to calm down, while his heart began to beat wildly when he started to hear the sound of an unknown being banging against the closed door on the left corridor.

‘Looks like it heard me.’

Taking a glance towards the left corridor, Dilan forgot his earlier frustration as adrenaline began coursing through his veins.

He knew that the next few hours would be thrilling, and worth spending outside.

However, even if he was ready to fight against the powerful being he hoped would be a Bronze monster, Dilan walked through the front corridor.

During the last few days, he didn’t pay much attention to his hygiene because his lesser immunity included resistance to bacteria.

Nonetheless, since he had thought of getting a nice bath the evening before, his clothes began to bother him more and more.

Even if they were facing the dangers of numerous monsters and death was lurking around every corner, he was in need of clean and somewhat decent clothes.

Despite washing his body he had been itching for quite a while._-.

Discarding his old smelly clothes, he picked up a rather loose tracksuit, a loose shirt, new underwear, a pair of socks, and running shoes.

Wearing his new clothes, Dilan felt like a new person.

Feeling as if he gained more freedom and confidence just by changing his clothes, he took a deep breath before leaving the patient room once again.

Turning towards his right, he kept walking through the corridor.

Circulating traces of mana through the tip of the Reinforced Stone Spear, Dilan kept walking and training his multi-tasking ability.

Using mana as often as possible also allowed him to increase his proficiency.

As such, it was even possible for Dilan to retract a portion of the unused mana when he reached the T-intersection.

A few zombies continued to growl from the right as he passed by, but they were locked up in their rooms, so Dilan simply ignored them.

His attention was on his left. Without showing any hesitation, he stepped into the left hallway armed with the Reinforced Stone Spear, ready to end the life of hundreds of opponents.

After taking a few steps, he heard a few growls of zombies from the doors to his right and left.

However as the doors were closed, Dilan ignored them for now.

His main focus was on the ten horned rats and four tiny pig-like bipedal beings, called Krendels.

They were not attacking each other and moved along.

Instead, the monsters were scampering against the wooden doors, trying to break through in order to kill the zombies within the rooms.

Maybe this would interest others, but Dilan brandished the Reinforced Stone Spear before he used his agility that was thrice that of an average human to shoot ahead.

Aiming his weapon at the four Krendels that were the most tricky and strongest opponents, he tightened his grip on the spear.

In one smooth flick of his hand, he slashed the Reinforced Stone Spear across the back of the four monsters that were less than 60 centimeters tall.

Blood gushed out of their bodies and splattered all around as painful squeals bounced off the walls, amplifying the sound a lot more.

But, Dilan simply ignored the cries and readied himself for the next attack.

With the kill, he had turned into the main focal point of attention.

However, that was perfectly fine because his agility was the highest, and so was his strength.

Using his strength and speed precisely, it was possible for him to eradicate the small group of monsters in a matter of minutes.

Puddles of blood formed on the ground, and the growls around him continued to grow louder while the smell of blood permeated the air.

Dilan’s eyes gleamed in excitement as he finished the fight.

His speed and agility was no match even for the Krendels when their group had encountered them before.

But now that some time had passed, Dilan’s strength was much higher than before, and there was no need to be afraid.

By now, his confidence had increased considerably as he knew that his life and death lay in his own hands.

And to overcome all dangers, strength was the only thing that mattered.

Thus, he collected the Essence crystals of the Krendels and horned rats before absorbing them.

Dilan didn’t level up, but he received a total of 1.3 status points, distributed in 0.3 Strength, 0.3 Health, 0.5 Stamina, 0.2 Agility.

This was quite decent, but far from enough for Dilan to be satisfied with his night hunt.

‘More rat horns would be great…’ he instinctively thought, only to halt in his tracks.

He thought about the way in which the Survivors had acted earlier and he felt like he shouldn’t provide them with anything to help them fight.

But then again, without any tools, they wouldn’t be able to fight, even if they were to show their desire to do so.

‘At least for myself, Oliver, or Ailee it would be useful.’ He finished his conclusion and proceeded to cut off the horns of the 10 horned rats.

Leaving the remaining corpses behind, Dilan went ahead.

He ignored the raging zombies in the rooms around him that continued to pound on the door and solely focussed on the monsters ahead.

There were just a dozen horned rats and 6 Krendels that came rushing towards him due to the commotion Dilan’s fight had caused.

The number was less than expected, but that was to Dilan’s advantage.

Moving quickly ahead, he simply ignored the attacks of the horned rats as he focused on killing the Krendels.

Instead of thrusting their horns in Dilan’s leg, the horned rats pounced at him and sunk their sharp teeth into his flesh.

A pained groan escaped his lips, but Dilan kept fighting, and did not let his speed lessen as he continued to assault the Krendels.

Afterward, he swung the flat side of the Reinforced Stone Spear at the horned rats that were viciously digging into his leg like a juicy piece of meat, trying to rip out his skin, flesh and nibble his bones.

But this was certainly not easy because Dilan’s health stat was far higher than someone at level 5 would usually have.

As such, his body was far more resilient than the ordinary Ascender, preventing the horned rats from inflicting severe injuries.

Dilan noticed this, which was why he used the Reinforced Stone Spear just like a baseball bat.

The horned rats he hit were smashed against the hallway’s walls as the sound of breaking bones reached Dilan’s ear.

With one clean swipe, all horned rats were flung far away into the air and on his left leg were removed, lying around him with broken necks, spines, and other severe injuries.

This made it much easier for him to use his free leg to kick at the rats on his other leg.

Smashing his feet on their unprotected back, he mercilessly shoved them away and the resulting force was enough to break their spines and flatten them below his feet.

He was not unscathed, and his legs hurt a little bit, but with the use of [Regeneration], the bleeding stopped almost instantly!

The higher Dilan’s Health stat was the stronger his Origin ability.

‘I wonder when I can see the requirements to upgrade my Origin ability!’

Just when Dilan thought about this, he pierced out with the Reinforced Stone Spear, cutting open one of the Krendels’ heads.

He bend down to pick up the Essence crystal but immediately sensed that something was off.

Instinctively, Dilan’s head turned towards his right. His eyes were fixated on the scratched door, and it was just at this moment that he heard a deep growling sound that grew louder.

The door burst open, revealing a zombie, whose entire skin was blue, with short sparks of lightning zapping through the lifeless eyes.
