Undying Warlord

Dilan’s body was leaned forward, and his head turned towards the zombie.

Sharp chips of wood flew through the air as the door fell on the ground with a thud while a small piece strafed his face, slicing his cheek.

Without thinking, Dilan moved the spear, while trying to push himself away from it.

Just at this moment, the blue zombie catapulted itself towards him.

Its speed was much higher than Dilan’s, reaching an Agility stat of <4> at the least.

This hit him off-guard as he pushed out with the Reinforced Stone Spear, trying to block off the Zombie’s advance.

But it was not very helpful as the monster reached him at once.

Seeing the hideous face of the zombie right in front of him and its stale and foul breath that hit his nostrils almost made him gag. It was trying to bite into his neck and tear out his flesh.

Dilan overcame his repulsion and his body moved instinctively, as his right arm shot upward.

With all his might and the highest speed that Dilan was able to reach, he punched the zombie with an uppercut.

By a hair’s breadth, the zombie missed his neck. as its head was flung upward.

The almost inaudible sound of a bone cracking due to the assault could be heard.-. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

It was the zombie’s chin that Dilan broke, but even Dilan seemed to have sustained an injury because the knuckle on his middle finger seemed to have cracked as well.

At least, Dilan felt severe pain spreading out from that spot as he howled in pain.

Even if his healing capacities were exceptional, he felt pain just like everyone else as well!

But it was his fast regeneration speed that made him less worried about his hand as he forced himself to endure everything. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

The pain was nothing in comparison to having been shot, twice at that.

Grasping the spear with both of his hands, Dilan thrust it forward, aiming for the soft part of the zombie’s injured chin.

It would be the easiest to pierce through it, and reach the zombie’s brain, even if he did not know whether it was a zombie at or above level 5.

If the zombie in front of him was above level 5, it would be a hassle to break its skull with the Reinforced Stone Spear.

And even if it were to be possible while the zombie was at level 5, Dilan couldn’t sacrifice his weapon, for the sake of killing just one zombie.

The rat horn daggers were no match to the Reinforced Stone Spear, and they required it to kill the stronger zombies!

Dilan thus tried ending the fight against the special zombie by issuing a killing blow.

However, despite his fast reaction and counterattack, the Reinforced Stone Spear was unable to reach the blue zombie.

Seemingly out of nowhere, the zombie’s eyes gleamed as electric currents passed through it.

Just a moment later, a thunderous sound rang out from around the blue zombie’s feet.

Electric currents manifested all of a sudden, spreading out in a small radius around the zombie’s feet as it disappeared from its previous location.

If its previous speed had already been high, Dilan was now completely overwhelmed.

This was bad, to put it simply, and he could barely avert the trajectory of his spear thrust to block the zombie and prevent it from reaching him.

Having predicted the path of the zombie’s approach, he had saved himself from a fatal blow.

But owing to the increased speed of the blue zombie, the resultant impact of the collision of the zombie’s arm with his spear was much higher than before.

The knuckle on his right hand ached horribly, but Dilan didn’t want to use his Origin ability right now.

He might have enough mana reserve, yet, the situation didn’t allow him to make use of it.

After all, Dilan was not sure if he would have to coat his spear in mana to kill the blue zombie!

As Dilan’s spear was blocking the blue zombie, it scrambled and began to flail its arms in an effort to reach him and scratch his hand.

The passive ability [Lesser Immunity] was a lifesaver as it allowed him to be scratched up to a total of four times.

Nevertheless, getting scratched by a zombie was certainly not something Dilan looked forward to, not even once.

And to add on, he had no idea what exactly counted as a single scratch.

If it used its entire hand to scratch him, would that count as five scratches, or just one?

Not knowing the answer, Dilan didn’t dare to do anything reckless and risk using up the ability all at once.

However, the excitement to fight a powerful opponent was slowly overwhelming his fear.

Because his opponent was much faster than him, Dilan couldn’t help but smile brightly as he decreased the force with which he held back the zombie’s approach.

Instead of working against his opponent and defending himself, it was much better to make use of the tremendous force and speed to use it against the blue zombie in a fierce attack.

For the next two seconds, Dilan turned his back from the hallway’s wall before he allowed the zombie to reach him.

Slowly taking just a single step back to prevent the zombie from reaching him, he waited for the perfect opportunity to attack.

The zombie took a step forward and Dilan suddenly crouched down.

Using its entire weight, the zombie advanced ahead, nearly pushing into Dilan, whose buttocks hit the ground.

He bent his back and did a backward roll while holding.

the spear in both of his hands.

Simultaneously, he straightened his legs and kicked hard in the zombie’s abdomen before rolling back on his feet again.

Through this, the zombie was thrown several meters into the air.

Using both the hands that held the Reinforced Stone Spear he pushed himself up from the ground.

All of this happened in a few seconds but the rapid movements made a fresh bolt of pain shoot up his bruised knuckle.

It was much worse than expected, but to his misfortune, Dilan was not able to rest or pay it any attention.

Turning around the moment his backward roll ended smoothly, he was ready to pierce the Reinforced Stone Spear through the head of the blue zombie.

He saw that it was lying on the ground and that its head was slightly more than a meter away from him.

Thus, he wanted to end the fight as quickly as possible, which led him to use all his remaining strength to rush forward.

Shouting out, he ignored the pain in his right hand, while using an entire unit of mana.

Mana shrouded the blade of the Reinforced Stone Spear as he lashed out with a terrifically high velocity and strength.

The tip of the spear pierced through the blue zombie’s rotten flesh and hit hard on its skull, making fine cobweb-like lines appear.

They spread out further, and Dilan’s eyes began to gleam lightly as he hoped for the spear to pierce through the hardened skull, killing the zombie for good.

However, at that moment, both of the zombie’s arms reached one of his legs.

It was as if the monster’s strength had increased all of a sudden as it tried to pull him down, making it impossible for him to free himself.

He sensed that the zombie’s sharp nails pierced through his tracksuit, digging into his flesh.

Gritting his teeth, he pierced the Reinforced Stone Spear deeper into the skull of the blue zombie while saying,

“Let’s figure out who will die first!!”
