Undying Warlord

Chapter 52 All at once (2 of 2)

When he released the [Thunder Step] ability, one unit of mana was used up, while his Agility received an enhancement of 30%.

Through this, he was able to shoot towards the three Mutated Swiftness Zombies.

The ear-piercing sound of thunder was unleashed by him, and electricity currents enveloped his feet as he bolted through the large hall at breakneck speed.

More than six mutated zombies noticed him, but Dilan’s entire focus was on the three Mutated Swiftness zombies that were the closest to him.

Right now, he was not even holding the War daggers.

Dilan shaped his hands to form a crude-looking knife that used up a tenth of a mana unit to enhance the Clawed Gloves’ sharpness and endurance!

As such, the moment he emerged in front of the zombies that finally noticed him, Dilan thrust out with one claw while the other one was used similar to a sword as he cleaved downward.

The thrust worked perfectly, as his hand cracked open the skull and reached the brain of the closest Mutated Swiftness Zombie.

They didn’t possess the [Thunder Step] ability, which was something Dilan had sensed beforehand.

It made things much easier for him as he opened his fist within the zombie’s brain, and squashed it.

His first attack had been an instant kill, while the cleave had been more of a means to distract the second zombie._-.

That had hit bullseye and prevented the zombie from noticing the bolt of lightning Kathrine had shot out at this moment.

Without much resistance, the zombie’s head gave in, before it imploded.

However, Dilan didn’t notice much of this because he had already moved to the second Mutated Swiftness Zombie, killing it before the time of his activated ability ran out.

At the end of the day, his stats were already higher than that of a level five monster, even more so with the use of his great equipment and ability.

Hunting became much easier, even more so after he absorbed the two Bronze Essence crystals that provided him their potent Essence and Status points!

[Two <Bronze> Essences of a Tierless Level 5 Mutated Swiftness Zombie have been absorbed→ +0.3 Strength, +0.4 Stamina, +0.6 Agility ]

[Essence pool has been filled. Host reached level 7! +0.5 Status points can be allocated!]

Dilan was happy to read the messages that popped up in front of him, which led him to smile lightly as he pulled the last Bronze Essence crystal out of the monster Kathrine had killed.

He threw the Essence crystal at her, as she had earned it. He was pretty sure that she was close to leveling up as well.

This was great and made him feel as if he should hasten up his hunting process even more.

“Let’s finish off these four as well. Otherwise, it might become a bit more frustrating to hunt the remaining zombies!”

Not all mutated monsters were Bronze monsters.

As such, it was far easier to hunt them!

Dilan didn’t even need to reuse his ability to fight the few zombies his [Thunder Step] ability had attracted.

Instead, he crippled the zombies, while the other three killed them in order to receive their Essence and Status points.

This took less than two minutes, which gave them more than enough time to gather the remaining 25+ mutated and Bronze zombies.

Dilan didn’t waste much time as he used his superior Agility stat to lure all zombies towards the big entrance hall.

Only half an hour passed before a total of 21 higher leveled up mutated zombies and 7 presumed Bronze monsters were gathered at one spot.

Everything went according to his plan as none of the surrounding monsters was faster than Dilan.

It made things much easier for the group of four that was fully prepared.

Moving on to the next step of the plan they came up with not too long ago, Dilan bolted in a particular direction of the large hall.

The direction of his choice was straight toward the others, where Kathrine was already standing with her hands pointing straight at him.

A bolt of lightning formed in each of her hands, crackling with electric currents that swirled around her arms.

Kathrine’s hands began to shake, and Dilan sensed that she wouldn’t be able to control it for long.

As such, Dilan threw himself to the ground.

Not even a full second passed before he sensed a tingling sensation brush past his back.

This was his cue to jump up from the ground.

A moment later, he saw that Ailee and Oliver rushed past him, their eyes gleaming in delight.

Turning around, Dilan saw that a dozen or so zombies had been struck by the bolts of lightning.

Their plan was a full success, which led him to smile with childlike glee as he chose to exterminate the remaining unscathed monsters.

Meanwhile, Oliver and Ailee killed several zombies that had been injured by Kathrine.

Making use of their lethal injuries, and the War Krendel’s claws, it was near impossible for Ailee and Oliver to miss out on killing the zombies.

However, they were no match to Dilan’s expertise and couldn’t compare themselves even remotely to him, who seemed to have changed since the day he had gone out in the dead of the night!

As always he was ready to cut, hack, slash and kill through zombies that were trying to scratch him.

Wearing the Robe of Strength, in addition to the Clawed Gloves, Dilan’s Strength was just a hair’s breadth away from being five times as strong as the average human before the Primordial Ascension.

Meanwhile, his Agility reached 6.7 the moment he activated the [Thunder Step] ability once again.

Inserting some mana in the Clawed Gloves, Dilan prepared himself to slaughter the opponents in front of him were mere ants that he could squash in his hands.

Adrenaline began to course through his veins as he emerged in front of the first large Zombie.

It was an ordinary mutated zombie and not a Bronze monster.

This made things much easier for Dilan as he could simply pierce through its entire skull with his accumulated force.

The feeling of being able to crush his opponent made his blood churn.

It was almost as if the blood within him was screaming for more!

And Dilan feasted on the sight of more blood, more death and excitement as he shaped his hands into claws.

He felt as if he was unleashing his inner beast, and it was great…to the extent that he was shocked about his own feelings.

Unable to hold back, he killed every single zombie in front of him ruthlessly, crushing their heads, and tearing them apart as if they were ordinary, unleveled zombies.

Seeing this, the others stiffened for a moment, and Kathrine couldn’t help but ask.

“Is…he always like this while fighting?!”

When the other two heard this question, they wanted to tell her that Dilan had never fought like this before.

But after giving it some thoughts, they realized that this was not true, and both Oliver and Ailee could only answer,

“Not…against more powerful or equally strong monsters…” Oliver started, just for Kathrine to nod her head as Ailee added,

“It’s worse then…”
