Undying Warlord Chapter 79 Second Wave!

Chapter 79 Second Wave!

Ignoring the zombies around him, and the zombie whose skull he was still holding, Dilan rushed out of the front corridor.
He left the corpse of the Pyros Rayo Zombie that slumped to the door while ignoring his dirty hands.
Not a single zombie was left alive in the huge hall on the fifth floor.
As such, Dilan had quickly rushed down the floors and brushed past Oliver and the others as all of them reached the stairways towards the third floor.
While passing them, Dilan grasped the Captain’s Sword, which Oliver held out for him.
With the +1 Agility boost which Dilan used instead of the Strength boost of his Clawed Gloves, his speed accelerated further.
It almost looked like he was flying down the stairs, and within less than ten seconds he reached the second floor.
When he reached the second floor it took him just one look to know what was going on.
Numerous horned rats, ordinary Krendels, and mutated versions of both monster types flooded the hall to the second floor!
A quick glance towards the left corridor told him that the number of monsters that emerged from the permanent gate was manifold higher than last time.
‘Is it the second wave?’ Dilan wondered.
His attention was drawn to the stairways that led to the first floor, and he quickly fixed his gaze on several new Survivors that wielded the Kobolds’ weapons.-.
Dilan recalled the small group, and he knew that they had been the most eager to start fighting.
They didn’t want to be oppressed by people such as Max and his group anymore.
That was also the reason for them to request using Kobold weapons and to follow Dilan and the others to go out hunting.
Kathrine didn’t really have anything to say against this as she was woken up for the second time in the day not too long ago.
Even now, she was still a little bit drowsy, which was quite hard to believe after the booming voice that had echoed through the cafeteria owing to the [Lethal Voice] ability.
She was currently making her way toward the second floor, but Dilan had been much faster.
Using his enormous Agility to his advantage he paved his way through the horned rats and Krendels to reach the small group of Ascenders that had wanted to become stronger.
However, upon witnessing the terrifying scene of more than a hundred horned rats and Krendels, their confidence was shattered at once.
“Calm down, guys! Even if they bite you, it won’t kill you!! Don’t overuse your mana, and keep a calm mind. I’m here to prevent the worst, so try to pick one horned rat at a time and kill all of them!!”
The Kobold weapons were more than enough to pierce through the hide of both the horned rats and Krendels.
That simply meant that the Ascenders behind him had the capabilities to defeat the masses of beasts that flooded the hall of the second floor provided they gathered the courage to kill.
Some of the horned rats and Krendels had already fallen down to the first floor as they were trying to squeeze through the railing.
This was quite bad because Dilan could see them slowly advancing their way toward the cafeteria, which was the direction they were drawn to.
The smell of food attracted them, after all!
Fortunately, he could see that Kathrine arrived just in time, and began massacring the horned rats without much hesitation.
Like Dilan, he was not exactly afraid of killing living beings either. Dilan was quite happy about this in the current situation because it allowed him to believe that everything would be fine.
With that in mind, he used his terrific high Agility and high Strength to slash through dozens of monsters at the same time.
There were simply too many to miss hitting at least one monster.
That was why Dilan didn’t even think about using proper tactics to fight.
Instead, he simply bulldozed his way through them, hacking and slashing through the large horde to prevent the large masses from reaching the scared Ascenders that were only slowly beginning to regain their composure.
Blood gutted innards, and corpses were littered across the large area in front of him as he was able to move fast enough to protect everyone.
His Stamina was depleting at a slow pace, which was enough to allow him to fight like this for an entire hour, at the very least!
The fight got even easier when the Ascenders behind him dared to make their first attacks.
They attacked with hesitation, preventing them from use all their might. But this was still fine because they were, at least, doing something!
For now, Dilan was still protecting them from the worst.
This meant that there was an exceptional opportunity that unveiled itself right in front of them.
They knew that they had to kill in order to become stronger and survive.
With that thought driving them ahead, the first young man thrust out his spear forward, severely injuring a horned rat that died only seconds later.
The distinct feeling of piercing the blade of his weapon through the flesh of a living being was something the young man would never forget.
However, even if he was feeling guilty, and as if he would vomit any minute, his life was on the line.
This thought drove all other thoughts of nervousness and fear out of his mind as his movements became a little bit faster.
Less hesitation could be sensed from his side as he forced himself to keep fighting, to keep moving forward and attacking the beast that would take his life if he stayed put.
On the other hand, the remaining members of the group were still hesitating.
They had executed their first attack as well, but their legs and arms were trembling.
For most of the survivors, who were killing a beast for the first time, this was quite normal. It would take them a while to get accustomed to the sensation of killing.
But neither could they afford to sit back and adjust their mindset to something, nor retreat and take a few deep breaths.
Right now, the only option was to overcome their own negative thoughts, and advance…or to succumb to their fears!
Dilan was someone who understood the theory behind overcoming mental hurdles and advancing to become a better human being the best.
His past was everything but rosy, let alone that of a young lad born with a silver spoon.
Being fully aware of the aftermath every action of his caused, Dilan knew that he had to give it his all right now.
Thus, he stepped forward, while increasing the speed at which he attacked using the Captain’s sword.
This made him the main focal point for the Krendels, horned rats, in addition to their mutations and evolutions.
The stronger monsters had noticed him, and the fact that he was slaughtering their brethren quite easily.
Hence, they all began to make their way toward him, which was quite bad because fighting against them at his current spot would endanger the others.
But it was at this moment when Dilan could hear footsteps from behind him, while the corners of his eyes clearly detected Oliver and the others.
‘Finally…Now let me move freely!!’
A faint smile emerged on his face, while excitement filled his eyes. He wanted to have free reins to unleash his true strength, the beast within him!
Simply defending the others was not enough for him, and the attention of the War Krendels, followed by the other powerful monsters made him feel a maniacal glee.
“I will handle the big ones. Focus on the small ones!! Work together, and don’t rush it. They cannot get me, so just look after yourselves!!”
He had only been holding back to protect the other Ascenders.
However, with Kathrine and the other four by their side, everything should be somewhat fine.
Dilan would be the center of everyone’s attention either way.
But that was fine with him as well as sustaining severe injuries.
After all, he was able to heal and quickly overcome every kind of injury.
Even if Dilan was not an Undying existence, he was sure that his path of ascension was not supposed to stop right here!
