Undying Warlord-Chapter 39 Lethal

In a matter of seconds, the huge Krendel reached Dilan, slashing at him with a rapid speed.

Trying to use his high agility to evade the huge claw that was out for his life, he clearly realized that the Krendel’s speed was higher than his.

The difference was not too large, but still noticeable.

Thus, just by using his flexible body and ignoring the pain in his body when he twisted it, was it possible for him to evade the attack.

Instinctively counter-attacking with a spear thrust while evading the Krendel’s huge claw, the Reinforced Stone Spear impacted on the Krendel.

However, to his extreme misfortune, it was exactly like he presumed it to be.

His attack was easily blocked, barely piercing into the dense brown fur.

But without the time to truly bother about this, Dilan could only use one unit of mana to activate the [Thunder Step] ability. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

The moment he thought about activating the ability, it was already utilized.

As a reaction, an ear-piercing sound came from him.

Small electric currents shrouded his feet and a few centimeters around them.-.

Feeling the difference in his Agility, he pushed his feet off the ground and shot past the huge Krendel before thrusting out once again.

Unfortunately, the result was the same as before, useless.

It was as if his attack was nullified, and not even the impact was clearly noticeable.

Because Dilan clearly noticed that this was not how he would win the fight, he shot past the huge Krendel, choosing to eradicate the small hassles that were less life-threatening but far more annoying.

Right now, for a total of five seconds, his speed was higher than the huge Krendel’s, giving him the opportunity to turn into a flash as he shot through the entire hallway, and reached the T-intersection.

To his right was the Gate that gleamed in the bright blue color Dilan was already familiar with.

It was less than 100 meters away.

Somehow, seeing the Gate, Dilan’s entire demeanor calmed down a little, including his excitement to fight.

He was only a little worried to die right now.

After all, his legs were still uninjured, and his Agility was higher when using the [Thunder Step] ability!

Being scared or overly worried would simply distract him from accurate observation, and utilize his combat prowess well.

Thus, it was advantageous that being cowardly or afraid to face stronger opponents was something unknown in Dilan’s vocabulary.

A single glance to his left was enough for him to see the closed door that connected the large hall on the second floor with the left corridor.

There were only a few monsters left, and most were lying dead over the floor of the hallway, their corpses littered all around him.

Dilan didn’t even know how many beasts he had killed in the last ten or so minutes, which was only something he could see as he looked back at the hallway.

The huge Krendel was also behind him, but the 30% enhancement he had received had been too high.

A few meters separated the two of them, and Dilan’s mind rattled to think of a way to, at least, injure the Krendel, and noticed that their distance reduced drastically.

He didn’t find a good solution, with the exception of two areas, or to be precise five body parts, to attack!

While he could almost attack every single part of the face, such as its eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, there was also the beast’s butthole!

It was unlikely for him to reach the last option.

Even if he were to pierce his weapon in the beast’s butthole, Dilan couldn’t help but think that the Reinforced Stone Spear would simply break.

Imagining it was certainly not nice, and he nearly shivered, before discarding the thought from his mind.

Dilan was thus able to use the last second of his 30% enhancement to push himself in front of the huge Krendel.

This was something it didn’t expect to happen, which was why it tried to reach out to Dilan.

However, owing to its rather long limbs, and large physique, it couldn’t immediately grasp him.

Through his simple observation, he gained a slight advantage.

Making use of it he catapulted himself in the air while using all his might and the accumulated momentum to his advantage, piercing out with the Reinforced Stone Spear.

Even if it might not be the best target, he aimed for the Krendel’s nose and attempted to pierce it to penetrate through the monster’s skull as well.

Yet, what Dilan didn’t expect to happen was that the Krendel noticed the immediate danger.

It stopped its advance at once, and halted abruptly, causing its ankle to crack.

Dilan found the beast’s presence of mind quite astonishing.

But Dilan was still calm as he tried to change the trajectory of his thrust.

His altered attack cut in the Krendel’s pig nose, but it was not possible for him to cause greater harm to it.

In fact, his current position mid-air was quite problematic, which led him to lift his leg to push himself away from the Krendel, using its wide body as its launching pad.

Just as he pushed himself away, the Krendel’s razor-sharp claws reached Dilan, giving him a sharp cut on both of his upper arms.

This was still fortunate as the Krendel couldn’t find the opportunity to grasp him when he had launched himself backward.

Landing on a pile of corpses, his back was drenched in all kinds of liquids.

It was a disgusting feeling, but Dilan was not able to give it a second of his attention.

He had to get up from the ground, and ignore the unbearable pain shooting up his right hand, and his arms.

It kept him alive and made both his vision and mind crystal clear.

Dark red blood trickled down his arm in rivulets.

Thus, he could barely think about using [Regeneration] once as he was not sure if he would die of blood loss otherwise.

The pain that coursed through his arms was severe, but Dilan was not even able to tell how much blood he was losing right now.

His mind was solely focused on the Krendel, whose nose was bleeding.

It was a good sign that he could, at the very least, injure the soft parts of his opponent’s body with the Reinforced Stone Spear. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

And there was something else he had figured out with the help of the [Thunder Step] ability- with an Agility enhancement of 30% he was quite a bit faster than the huge Krendel!

This was everything he had to know in order to be certain that he should turn the advantage of a short burst of speed into something permanent!

With that in mind, he used the 1.0 unallocated status points from his last two level-ups to crank up his Agility to [4.6]!

Tremendous energy coursed through his body all of a sudden, and Dilan could immediately sense the difference in his strength.

It allowed him to ignore the pain that coursed through his arms and his right hand.

After all, the next clash was just about to begin, and the winner of their fight had yet to be decided!
