Undying Warlord

To say that everybody was baffled was an understatement. Their mouths were hanging wide open as Dilan jumped out of the window without hesitation, just to land on the ground without sustaining an injury.

Williams was already at level 10 with his highest stat reaching 10, but even he was not sure if his body would remain unscathed if he jumped from the fifth floor of the police station.

Thus, the glint in his eyes deepened even further as he said,

"I will accept him if he survives this…"

The others just nodded their heads, clearly understanding that they would never be able to defeat the zombies ahead of them, even with their joined forces.

And considering that the gang called Death Beatles was able to lure so many powerful zombies towards them, it looked like they needed someone stronger to protect them as well.

It was quite ridiculous considering that they had always been able to overpower the Death Beatles, but the Primordial Ascension had made them lose their upper hand drastically.

This included the balance of the gangs with the Death Beatles gaining the biggest advantage.

Apparently, the Death Beatles had found out the base of the shepherds the day before, which was why they had prepared a surprise gift for them.

As such, Williams, the head shepherd was bound to receive the welcome gift.

And, he was bound to die in the face of more than five Tier-1 zombies. A single scratch was enough to kill him after all!

But there was one variable the Death Beatles hadn't taken into consideration…the interference of another human!

Dilan's jump to the ground created a lot of noise to attract the attention of all zombies.

Instead of throwing even a single glance at the low-leveled zombies that had yet to reach an Agility of two units, Dilan faced the strongest zombies that entered his sight.

Meanwhile, Dilan was also paying attention to the few humans that had lured the few hundred zombies toward the police station.

'Their Agility is at 5, at most…how were they able to reach the police station with Tier-1 zombies pursuing them?'

Dilan didn't understand this, but that was not exactly a problem.

[Thunder Step]!

Shortly after activating his active skill, a thunderous noise emerged from him, followed by electric currents that circulated around his feet.

Catapulting himself ahead he turned into a purple flash as he jumped over the steel fence.

Landing on the head of an ordinary zombie, he smashed it to the ground without batting an eyelid.

With his Strength and Agility, there was no need for him to fear being stopped by any kind of zombie in the crowd.

As such, he was able to blast through the entire crowd of zombies.

His speed was close to 40 times the average human before the Primordial Ascension after using [Thunder Step]

This allowed him to reach the humans, who attempted to retreat from the police station without getting caught.

There were not many of them, but Dilan could only grasp two at once.

Taking that into consideration, his eyes turned cold as he killed the weakest humans without mercy. He pierced the Clawed Gloves through their neck, ending their lives in an instant.

He had to prevent them from telling anyone what was about to happen, after all!

With a terrifying high speed, Dilan killed four humans, while leaving the two strongest of them behind.

He broke their legs and arms at once before grasping them by their collars.

Dilan could only hear their pained screams as he turned back to the police station.

In a fraction of a second, he found out the fastest way to return to the police station's fence without sustaining a scratch.

Owing to his [Immunity] passive ability getting scratched was the least of his worries. However, the two humans he was holding in one hand each felt different to him.

Thus, with a small detour that took him a mere second, Dilan reached the side of the police station.

Jumping above once again, Dilan rushed to the entrance of the building before throwing the members of the Death Beatles gang right in front of it.

"You guys take these. I want to know everything about the Death Beatles. Don't disappoint me, Williams!"

Even if Dilan was not Williams' boss yet, it was quite obvious who was in charge as of now.

That meant the least Williams could do was to provide him with the information he wanted.

After all, Dilan was just clearing the mess for Williams who wouldn't be able to solve the issues without creating a huge commotion, using up several rounds of precious ammunition, grenades, and whatever weapons were required to kill Tier-1 monsters!

Some may label Dilan as a hypocrite for thinking about procuring information from another gang once again.

However, this time it was a bit different from before.

The Death Beatles sent a huge group of zombies to the police station where hundreds of innocent people lived. That was an intentional attack, aimed at eradicating the Shepherds and everyone belonging to them!

On the other hand, shepherd Xias' attack was something slightly different. Nobody died even though Xias was somewhat…unique in multiple regards.

There were a few more tiny differences, and each of them made Dilan feel the need to procure more intel about the Death Beatles such as their numbers, their strength, and so on!

But, before it would be possible for him to procure more information, the zombies had to be defeated first.

A few of them had already returned to the metal fence, which Dilan jumped over once again.

But this time, instead of paving a way through the crowd to emerge on the other side, he inserted some mana in his Clawed Gloves.

This enhanced their sharpness and endurance, thereby preparing Dilan to fight with all his might.

Adrenaline coursed through his body, and the anger of having been interrupted once again emerged from the depths of his mind.

His hands which were no less than sharp knives pierced and slashed out, killing numerous opponents one after another.

He focused on the more powerful monsters while making use of his speed to kill more monsters.

By adjusting the angle of his attack, it was possible for him to elevate his combat prowess swiftly.

The ordinary zombies would never be able to reach an Agility close to 40 units. Even an ordinary stone with such high Agility would kill them easily!

That was what the accumulated force he could create was capable of.

Slaughtering his way through the opponents, he made use of three units of Mana and the effect of the [Thunder Step] ability wore off.

But that was no problem because he didn't require the active ability's boost anymore as he was already faster than anyone else.

Upon emerging in front of a four-meter-tall zombie that was wielding a club made out of zombies, Dilan just smiled before jumping straight in its face with his hands outstretched Clawed Gloves pierced out.

The head of the zombie splattered at once as his Clawed Gloves pierced out before Dilan landed on the ground once again.

A faint smile emerged on his face. It was only now that he noticed how weak some monsters were. Yet, even if they appeared pretty weak to him right now, encountering them just a few days ago would have been his death sentence.

However, that was especially what excited him.

Before the Primordial Ascension a few days had just been…ordinary. One couldn't change one's life in terms of physical strength in mere days.

Building up muscles took months, even years if done properly.

After the Primordial Ascension, everyone started from scratch with the sole exception of beings that had awoken an Origin ability.

Yet, even then, one's life could change within days.

And that was what made the Primordial Ascension so special…and dangerous.

After all, everyone could turn into a ferocious tiger after being considered a failure and trash mere days before if fate threw them a chance to start afresh!

At that moment, more than ten monsters with a strength equal to the Lightning Shiroa rat appeared around him.

Dilan had noticed them earlier already, but he didn't think that they would reach him at the same moment.

His pupils shrank in size, and tremendous amounts of adrenaline coursed through him, just for Dilan to activate [Thunder Step] once again.

A thunderous sound erupted around him as he catapulted himself toward the closest monster.

His eyes gleamed brightly as he pierced through the head of the first Silver monster that came in his way.

Moving along and killing beasts on his way, Dilan never stopped and continued with his advance.

He turned his battle into a dance…a dance of death that killed every single living being he came in touch with.

Massacring his way through the ten powerful beings that could have played around with Williams, he ended their lives in less than five seconds.

And Dilan was not yet done because he kept fighting without waiting to catch his breath.

Rather than taking a short break, his speed increased. He was slowly warming up, and simply slaughtering as if he was the Grim Reaper's scythe itself for ten whole minutes.

The anger within him was fully unleashed and a faint smile emerged on his face.

"That was satisfying enough for a small meal!"
