Clyde continued to slash his sword at full power.
Elderglass Sword, the sword with a bluish transparent blade stabbed and slashed into the organic lump's body hard.
From the green part of the lump, zombies started crawling appear. But Clyde didn't let them surface.
Every time an arm or head appeared, Clyde slashed directly with Elderglass Sword and decapitated it.
The pounding on the strange lump seemed to get faster and stronger. Even Clyde was starting to feel the rhythm under his feet.
Clyde became even more worried because he felt his body weaken.
It's not a matter of stamina but something else. He knew that this feeling was because he is started to run out of Magic Power.
'Even with Magic Power at Level 5, I'm in trouble like this!'
Clyde turned to his group members who were still trying to get closer.
Their distance is not too far. But the zombies have come and surrounded them again, filling the path between Clyde and his group members.
Seeing no other choice, Clyde pressed his palm against the surface of the lump. He intended to pour a large amount of Magic Power into this one attack.
[ Burning Hand (Lv. 3) is activated! ]
*SWOOOSSSHHH!*
A huge and powerful burst of fire shot out from Clyde's palm. The explosion spread to all parts of the green and gray lump. Cover it with a smoldering fire.
The beat of the lump grew louder. Then a hissing sound came from it.
Not long after, all the zombies in the vicinity stopped to attack the other group members.
They turned to Clyde and immediately ran to him.
'Shit!'
Clyde also realized how difficult his current situation was.
This lump turns out to be able to summon a horde of zombies to protect itself. That made the difficulty multiply many times over.
However, Clyde also saw good development. The lump that couldn't stand the burst of fire started to look black and then melted.
'A little bit more!' Clyde thought optimistically.
The hordes of zombies were also charging toward him simultaneously.
Their number of maybe a few hundred was intent on devouring Clyde. Like children trying to save their mother.
Clyde looked at his group members. With their current state, they wouldn't be able to help him.
Clyde was starting to think that this was all impossible. Most likely, actually, they would just have to hide until the time came and fight the BOSS to clear the second day.
'But I'm already here. There's no point in regretting this!'
Clyde steeled himself and chose to continue fighting. Yes, now he just has to keep fighting and survive!
"HYAAAAARGHHH!!!"
Accompanied by a loud scream, Clyde poured all of his Magic Power into his palms.
The bursts of fire that came out were getting stronger. The speed of the scorching lump was also getting faster.
*KREEESSSS!*
*KREEESSSS!*
*KREEESSSS!*
Multiple hissing sound was heard as part of the lump fell as it burned. Up until now, half of the lump had been burnt.
Clyde slashed his sword around to dispel and kill the zombies around him.
Clyde had already suffered several claw attacks and bites from the zombies.
Some who tried to rip his back and arms were blocked by the defensive power of the Dark Night Coat. So Clyde only suffered in his face and the front of his hands that were not covered by the coat.
Clyde gritted his teeth.
'A little bit more!'
*KREEESSSS!*
*KREEESSSS!*
*KREEESSSS!*
A large chunk of that lump started to collapse even more. Until finally there are only a few parts left.
'A little bit more!'
A few moments later, finally, the lump was completely burned.
*SWOOOSSSHHH!*
Clyde's flames spread around as the lump finally disappeared and collapsed into black ashes.
Suddenly, all the zombies that were surrounding Clyde fiercely fell helplessly. Like a robot that has lost its power source.
Clyde panted hard. Even though he looked around and see that all the zombies had fallen, Clyde couldn't let his guard down.
He turned his head in all directions looking for any possible danger. But he found nothing in the end. Instead, Clyde got a notification.
[ Congratulation! You have accomplished the impossible task! ]
[You have destroyed a Zombie Spawner. ]
[ New Title Unlocked: Limit Breaker (Lv.1) ]
[ Title Effect: Grants the power to raise the limit of all Stats. As the Level of the [Title] increases, the Stats limit will also increase. ]
Clyde blinked his eyes a few times quickly.
'Wow! this is quite amazing, isn't it?'
It turns out that destroying the lump is something that is impossible at this early stage.
Doing something out of the limit at this stage will give him a [Title]. And the effect of that [Title] was surprisingly good.
'If I can stack enough [Limit Breakers], then I can increase my Stats quite a lot. It will be very useful in the later stages to come.'
"You did it."
Suddenly, Rodney's voice came from beside him.
He had suffered many injuries all over his body and his face looked tired.
Behind him, Eric, Reed, Mona, Sonya, and Asqa didn't look any better. Even Sonya and Reed had fallen on the road.
'It's only natural that they aren't that useful. We really shouldn't destroy the zombie spawner at this early stage.'
"It's okay," Clyde said. "Oh, yeah. Did you get a notification?"
"I didn't get anything," Rodney replied.
'Does that mean, I'm the only one getting that [Title]?' thought Clyde.
If that was true, then he should keep it a secret for now.
Suddenly, another notification appeared before their eyes. This time, this notification is not only received at Clyde but by all members of the group.
[Sorry for the delay. Something extraordinary has been done. So it took us a long time to do the calculations. ]
[ You have killed all the zombies in this area by destroying the Zombie Spawners. ]
[You gain experience from all of the dead zombies. ]
[ You Leveled Up! ]
[ You Leveled Up! ]
[ You Leveled Up! ]
...
Everyone gets level-up notifications many times.
