Undying Warlord

Chapter 50 First Floor



When he woke up the next morning, Dilan noticed that a few things had changed.

It was barely dawn and the first rays of sunlight had reached the cafeteria.

And this was necessary for them to be able to see something as the generators of the hospital didn’t seem to work anymore.

Dilan felt that seven days were not really a long time for them to have lasted, and when Bianne came out of the kitchen, her mortified expression clearly showed what was going on.

“The water has run out as well?” Ailee asked, looking at Bianne with a trace of fear in her eyes.

She hoped that Bianne would shake her head and say that a horde of zombies had appeared in the kitchen instead.

That would be much better.

Unfortunately, this was not the case as Bianne revealed the bitter reality after issuing a deep sigh.

“Yes, we no longer have potable water…”

It was not as if nobody had expected this, but everyone had hoped for this to take a little bit longer to happen.

Their life had just improved a little bit after moving mattresses and new clothes to the cafeteria.

As such, Bianne was slightly frustrated, only for Dilan to walk into the kitchen in a nonchalant manner.

A moment later, the sounds of pots being moved could be heard just for the sound of trickling water to follow suit.

Bianne and Ailee rushed towards Dilan, somehow expecting to see something grotesque. -.

“Just use this for now. I will keep the ring with me, so just take it from me when you need it. Otherwise, some Survivors might try to steal it from you.”

Handing over the Ring of Yarad for a short while, Bianne’s eyes widened as she finished reading the description.

“That…is amazing!!” She said, just for Ailee to appear next to Bianne to get the notification about the Ring of Yarad as well.

“100 liters for 5 Units of mana. Every day at that!! That is literally a lifesaver!!!’

Ailee was so excited that her voice reached every corner of the cafeteria, only to notice that she shouldn’t attract too much attention.

However, Dilan didn’t seem to mind her behavior much as he simply gave her a faint smile.

“Our group is still small, so this should be perfectly fine. Still, if you keep a look at this ‘Trash’ treasure, you two might understand that its value is not as bad as one might imagine.”

Dilan was pretty sure that the Ring of Yarad came from the batch of Krendel Essence crystals.

As such, he presumed that higher leveled monsters provide better treasures.

But that was not something he could prove yet.

Only by hunting level 0 zombies would he be able to prove his theory. He wanted to see whether he would receive worse treasures or not.

Ailee had yet to create her first batch of arrows, but she could fight with daggers.

This was no problem for the time being, while Dilan simply shared his knowledge with the two women.

After a while, Kathrine entered the kitchen as well.

She had heard Ailee’s exclamation and decided to take a look, contrary to the others, who were only staring at the closed sliding door, unsure whether to enter or not.

Dilan was the type of person they didn’t want to offend in any way.

Thus, considering that he was still a human right now, and had not turned into a zombie and began growling, they presumed that he might hold a grudge against some of them.

This was not the case because Dilan didn’t even bother to remember the face of the Survivors, who had looked at him in fear and doubt and been inclined to throw him out.

“So your plan is to clear the first floor completely, and use the Essence crystals you procure in order to exchange them with treasures?” Kathrine asked before thinking about it for a moment.

If they were to get lucky and gain a useful item, their chances to kill the monster on the third floor would increase as well.

With that in mind, she simply nodded her head before saying.

“Okay, but we should be fast. Afterward, we can go out to hunt a few monsters. The mountainside should provide us with more than enough monsters to kill. In the afternoon I want to try fighting the monster on the third floor!”

Kathrine stated her plans and said everything she found important. She clearly pointed out that time was something she didn’t have.

Dilan had noticed this before already which was why he nodded his head.

“Of course, we can do that. But we should hurry up then!”

There was still more than enough time left until afternoon.

This meant that they had an hour or two at best to finish clearing the first floor and exchange the Essence crystals with the treasures they wanted to procure.

Stretching his well-rested body, he ate a slice of bread for breakfast before unlocking the chains of the cafeteria’s doors.

Oliver and Ailee hurried after him as they had heard about his idea to clear the first floor completely and to go hunt outside.

They hoped to level up a few times today, which was why they showed their interest to fight and accompany him.

After all, they needed to become stronger in order to face opponents like Dilan.

The survivors had only heard Dilan’s fight against the War Krendel, but it was quite obvious how terrifying it must have been.

“Are only the three of you fighting usually? That is less than expected.” Kathrine suddenly remarked in a neutral tone.

But it was just a moment later that Sarah, Pierre, even Ella, and two more Survivors rushed towards them.

All of them understood the seriousness of the fact Dilan had been lethally injured by a monster.

They had to rely on themselves and get stronger, survive and protect not just themselves but also the people they loved.

Right now, they didn’t even know if all of their loved ones were still alive, and their survival was on the line as well.

This clearly showed that they had to get their act together and learn to fight, even if this meant that they had to leave the safety of the cafeteria and risk their precious life.

With that in mind, the group of four turned into a group of 9 Ascenders, who dared to fight against the monsters of the Primordial Ascension!

Dilan was pleased by this sight because nearly half of their small community had decided to fight.

This was far more than he could have expected.

Thus, when they left the cafeteria doors, he was not able to hold back anymore.

He approached the locked door near the cafeteria before using his Clawed Gloves to pull them open.

What entered his sight was a large hallway that connected to several bigger halls, multiple elevators, a huge reception, and several more hallways.

While the second and the following floors of the hospital were divided into a total of four towers, the first floor was a huge complex, connecting everything else.

On the higher floors of the towers, one could also find some bridges that connected the towers, but that was not important right now as their main mission was entirely different.

Moments after he had stepped through the door frame of the door he had just pulled open, Dilan was able to see more than a hundred zombies.

They were flocked together and looked as if they were unleveled.

Nothing about their appearance suggested any mutation or change, and everything seemed perfectly normal.

This was great, and it allowed Dilan to start a massacre. Using his Agility of 4.6 units, he catapulted himself ahead, leaving behind the others as he entered the fray, tightly holding the two War daggers he manufactured using the War Krendel’s claws!

While Dilan manifested a true carnage, the others could only look at the way he fought in awe. His speed was quite high, but that was not what astonished everyone, who was gazing at him as if he was a born fighter.

Instead, it was the way Dilan gracefully fought like a predator without worrying about possible injuries.

He would simply accept all injuries that he would sustain if one of the zombies were to be capable of touching him before getting killed on the spot.

“If he doesn’t have the Immunity ability, he really is insane…” Sarah couldn’t help but mumble, while most of the other spectators nodded their heads, totally agreeing with her comments.

**

Several hours later passed in the blink of an eye, and a weird atmosphere filled the air.

Kathrine found herself sitting on a small bench, her entire body drenched in sweat.

Looking up at Dilan, who was standing near her, and trying to focus on all nine of them, she gave a disappointed sigh.

“How the hell can you still stand?! Just how high is your Stamina???”

Dilan was currently breathing heavily, while simultaneously ensuring that nobody got ambushed by some monsters.

Every single one of them was currently drained of their stamina, which was why most of them were sitting on the ground or windowsill.

“I guess having a high Health stat means that my stamina consumption is less, while it recuperates much faster as well.

My Stamina stat is quite low…”

Dilan had yet to analyze every single statistic of his that existed in the Log of the Ancient.

However, he didn’t have to pay attention to every little detail as time would tell him about everything either way.

As such, he just shrugged his shoulders before saying.

“How about we stay here until afternoon? I want to kill the mutated zombies and the Bronze monsters which we avoided earlier because of the others!”
