SWISH…! As Kent harness the long metal rod a zombies head burst out as it exploded. Blood splatter the ground at the far distance numerous zombies were in a frenzy as they rush towards Kent.
BOOM… SWISH… minutes passed as Kent burst out with strength wreaking havoc in the streets, zombie corpse's filled the ground disgusting view and smell permeated.
Two days had passed since Kent receive the distressed call from his sister. After preparing for the passed two days Kent gain a better understanding in his physical strength, as well as in the field of magic. He spent a great deal of time studying and refining his foundation in the field of magic.
Kent search through the [Bloodline Inheritance] as he gain more insights regarding the field of magic.
He also begun crafting runes for the passed two day being able to craft 3 runes. Increasing his control and firepower, Kent pick to craft the most powerful and complicated runes to he gain from the [Bloodline Inheritance]
After finishing up Kent had the confidence move forward to rescue his little sister, each step Kent take their would be a trail of blood the followed.
Reaching the intersection Kent slowly moved in silence not daring wanting to attract the undead's. As the streets were crowded by numerous zombies, being closed to the mall this outcome didn't surprised Kent.
Careful avoiding the gazes of the undead Kent was able to get half closed towards the mall. Moving inside a food stall Kent relax himself for a bit, even with his inexcusable stamina the metal pressured is something he couldn't avoid.
Exhausting himself for the passed two days even with his gains Kent also gain negative effect. Exhausting his mind, Kent peek through the windows of the food stalls observing the zombies.
Name: None Tier 0
Race: Undead Zombie
Trait: Infection
Kent used his [Investigation] to each zombie that he could confront or come through, not letting his guard down as he doesn't want unexpected encounters that could lead to his demise. Also to increase the [Investigation's] proficiency.
As he survey through and used his still towards each undead he encounter his sigh fell toward the darkness in a hallway closed towards a stairway.
"did something just move their" as Kent thought of this the hair in his body stand up. A creeping feeling alarm him, Kent immediately used [Investigation]
Name: Shadow Lurker Tier 2
Race: Undead
Trait: One with the Darkness
"shit… that would be troublesome" after Investigating the zombie Kent can't help but be trouble. He would like to fight a horde of zombie that fight a zombie that is good in sneak attacks.
Kent felt problematic as the zombie was able to deceive his detection skills. Kent tried to think of possibilities on how to deal on such opponents. As the sun sunk down toward the horizon and was replaced by darkness, Kent begun to moved passing the zombies swiftly. A day ago the electricity went down for good turning the whole city to be sunk in darkness.
Kent used this opportunity to move forward in the cover of the darkness. As Kent move forward he notice bluer shadows moving in other directions. Then a shadow suddenly appear pouncing at Kent.
As Kent was anticipating this as he parry the attack, he follow up with a kick at the stomach. Making the shadow stumble and roll at the ground being thrown, the force Kent deliver can be said to be monstrous the zombie flew 70 meters at fast speed before getting contact a wall stopping the force that Kent delivered.
As the other one flew multiple other shadows spread out from each direction attacking Kent. Kent parry this attacks with ease as he used his Mana to activate a magic skill [Movements Track], magical runes and symbols showed in a majestic manner widening his senses clearly seeing the shadows attacks. Combined with [Night vision] not minding the darkness.
Kent sigh in satisfaction as how useful the magical skills that he gain. Kent could clearly see a bone like malnourished skinned zombies that were attacking him. His eyes catching the figures of 34 Shadow Lurker.
As Kent turned his gaze towards this 34 Shadow Lurker's he can't help but felt pity Kicking such malnourished looking beings. That might be killed by a single kick. Their clash only lasted for more than 2 minutes as this monsters vitality is lesser than a normal zombie. As each strike that he delivered will be a fatal strike that could break the Shadow Lurker's bones easily.
As Kent finished the last Shadow Lurker.
Several gunshots echoed and was released in succession. Kent can't help but frown as he could see the zombies nearby were starting to gather. As some of the zombies get sight of Kent and immediately rushed forward, with this multiple other zombies joined the fray as they rushed towards Kent.
Kent inwardly cursed as he wanted to punch that guy that shot the gun.
Dodging the zombies attack wasn't hard on Kent's part, but that only applies on a few zombies and not for hundreds. Moreover as time passed by the number increase by leaps and bounds greatly. Even with Kent's high power facing such force is extremely dangerous, being chased by a thousand zombies sweat slowly drip on Kent's back. Jumping from each car while avoiding incoming and chasing zombies and some skeletons.
BOOM…! Kent was forced to jump backwards as a abomination suddenly appear in front of him. Kent could clearly distinguish it's appearance as a Life Steal Hammer undead that is the same level as the one he killed the other day. Worsening Kent's currently dead lock situation as he jump backwards the zombie that were chasing immediately pounced, Kent harness and distribute his strength on his feet as he jump high up.
BOOM..! CRACK…! The car were he used as a medium stand, burst out and was destroyed throwing the jumping zombies back while leaving the Life Steal Hammer in daze.
ROAAAAR..!
Seeing it's pray on the run the Life Steal Hammer roar in irritation.
"Fuck" Kent is really cursing inwardly, he wanted to avoid attacking and attracting undead's as much as possible for the time being. Everything was going smoothly he was able to deal the Shadow Lurker's with ease but for all his efforts to be destroyed by a gun shoot.
"fuck… only idiot would used a gun in world" Kent is still cursing wanting to confront the guy that destroyed his efforts. His usual calmed domineer was replaced by frustration and anger.
As a hoard of undead's follow pursue Kent gritted his teeth as he started a profound incantation Mana within him circulate as the mysterious words came from Kent's mouth. A immense surge of Mana emanated as runes appear on Kent's hands.
[Blazing Ground] as Kent casted his magic skill, cracks surface at the ground where lava and blazing flames erupted engulfing the thousand undead's and the Life Steal Hammer. Unlike normal tier spell's [Blazing Ground] is a unique magical skill that doesn't have a tier requirements as long one had a profound knowledge and understanding about one such spell any could cast it. However it consume a extremely large amount of Mana as tenth of Kent's Mana were used. Such reason why Kent wanted to avoid confronting a hoard of undead's from the beginning and resorting to a sneak moves. Even with his astronomical amount of Mana that is hundred times larger than a ordinary Tier one Magic Caster the priced to pay is still excessive being [Blazing Ground] had the power of a 5th Tier Spell of one categorize it.
Moreover he didn't go here to farm experience points but to rescue his little sister, attracting more and more undead's would be a fool's matter. But the current situation were Kent is in a deadlocked, nothing could be done a such Kent was frustrated wanting to confront the guy that shoot the gun.
"Such a waste of Mana" Kent sigh he wanted to avoid using magic for multiple reasons such at it would attract undead's and the other one for being cautious, as he didn't know what danger comes ahead of him as he moved forward toward the mall.
Remembering the Powerful Life Steal Hammer that came from the plane Kent can't help but be cautious and worried towards what awaited him.
[You Have Level Up]
[You Have Level Up]
[You Have Level Up]
Gaining 3 more levels didn't dissipate Kent's frustration as he immediately leave the premises, blending with the shadow. After casting the spell for the first time Kent was mentally exhausted even so a smiled surfaced on his face by just remembering the feeling of magic and seeing it's effect. He otaku mentality taking ahead as he move forward.
As Kent level up the experience needed to reach another level is being doubled, to such it became harder and harder as time passed by moreover as he level up is distribute the points randomly within his Attributes. So Kent decided to find more ways to strengthen himself and didn't rely on Level up. He also have his racial level were only the Newborn Progenitor Vampire was able to level up by a single digit by absorbing death essence, as he search for ways to level up his races Kent felt helplessness unlike the normal level up where he only need to slay a enemy and gain experience points to increase his power. Racial Level up is completely different were the system itself didn't shown instructions.
A few minutes passed a Kent left the premises where he casted the destructive spell [Blazing Ground] were cracks riddle. The ground was filled with magical flames and lava the entirety of the surrounding melted were the car's that one's filled the area melted into nothingness together with a large quantity of undead's as not even a ash could be seen.
Kent reach the KCC mall's entrance, he sat at a pillar scouting the surroundings as he used his ability to sense for any presence. It take him hours just to get to the entrance where the distance between the mall and the subdivision were only 1500 meter, these was all because of the huge number of undead's blocking his way.
Reaching the mall's entrance Kent raised his guard even more as he could sense large quantities of undead's much larger than the one's chasing him. The time the apocalypse had decent is where large amount of people were leaving from work, as such some headed towards the mall to brought something or waited at the terminal. In front of the mall to have a ride, moreover in front of the mall is the national highway that had a heavy traffic before the Apocalypse decent. As such for some unforeseen circumstances where civilians hide inside the mall to have shelter as Kent could sense the large quantities of undead swarming the mall's entrance.
Kent slowly walk at the sides avoiding the zombies at the entrance where his goal is to used the bottom floor where cars parks that had a high chance of lesser number of undead's as such Kent stealthy moved down.
Kent casted a spell [Rock Bullet] a genuine Tier 1 spell. Targeting a expensive car at the right lane of the national highway, as the rock bullet hit the car a alarm immediately roused up alarming the undead's inside. As such the undead's immediately run towards the sound were they could not sense any life, having a almost non existence Intelligence they undead's that was attracted by the sound just stand at the car motionless. Where Kent achieve his goal drawing a number of undead's out.
As Kent stealthy moved down the underground parking area Kent had a huge sigh, as he could see a very small number of undead's not needing to used his ability. Kent moved like the wind as he stealthy cut the undead's clearing the entire parking area. As it only take a few minutes before being cleared.
Entering the bottom entrance Kent reach the outer most section of the market place where a storage a situated.
