The zombies around Kenji began to emit loud wailing sounds that forced everyone to cover their ears.
Every zombie has at least one spike on it's head to indicate it's level, the more the spikes, the higher the level, a single spike would mean a level 1, two spikes would mean level 2 and so on.
"What is happening?" Quickie shouted while covering his ears, the zombies seemed to be going through a seizure of some kind.
[Nest has leveled up:
Nest King has become a level 5
Nest zombies are transitioning into a level 4.]
[Transition would be completed in : 20 minutes]
'I can use this time to find the king and take him out once and for all.' Kenji thought to himself, if the zombies were unable to harm him, then he would just need to find the king and take him out.
"Kami, take them out of here, I've got this!!" Kenji screamed, out of the members of the group he was the only one who had barely been injured, the rest were all 10 steps or less away from death's door.
"No Kenji, we're not leaving without you!!" Quickie screamed, his wounds had alreybegan healing but with a single look, one could tell that he was too tired for this fight.
"No, if I take any of you in with me, you will just be dead weight." Kenji said, these were the only Metahumans close to him and if he let them get killed, he would be forced to rely on his skills.
"If I'm not back in 20 minutes, then come get me." Kenji said, he didn't even wait for a response and just charged forward, looking for the zombie king.
Quickie tried to run after him but before he could take a step, his body vanished, leaving Kenji all alone.
'This wailing is sure to attract a lot attention.' Kenji thought to himself, he was running through the entire restaurant but he had still not found the king.
'Where haven't I checked?' Kenji thought, despite everything going on around him, the thought of slowing down hadn't crossed his mind.
'Of course.' Kenji thought with a smile, when it came to prestigious hospitality institutions in Japan, they always had an underground section where gang members and other shady individuals could discuss their business.
'There must be a secret entrance somewhere.' Kenji thought, thanks to the chronokinesis talent, Kenji was able to speed up time around his body while slowing down whatever came within 50 meters from him, it was thanks to this that only 30 seconds has gone by.
"Fuck it." Kenji said, he didn't have time to go searching for some secret entrance, there was a faster but a less effective solution.
[Mana Slash activated.]
A thin blue aura coated Kenji's katana,giving it a shimmering and magical appearance, but the victims of that skill wouldn't think it was beautiful or magical.
Kenji stabbed into the ground as hard as he could, causing cracks to appear in the ground, causing it to cave in.
Kenji fell through the floor but he was quick enough to maneuver his body and allow him to land on his feet.
'Curse my luck.' Kenji said, the only thing he had succeeded in was destroying the restaurant's floor.
Kenji found himself in a vast and dark room that seemed to have been totally claimed by shadows, the only glimpse of illumination was the feint glowing crystals stationed on the walls.
'What is going on?' Kenji asked himself, he didn't have time for anf all he did seemed to take him backwards.
Kenji was about to formulate a new plan when all the hairs on his body rose up and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
"Danger sense."Kenji said to himself, he focused on his surroundings and he could hear feint wailing in the distance.
Kenji dashed forward but the sounds of wailing and the goosebumps on his skin slowly began fading.
'No, I have to do this logically.' Kenji said, if he continued to just wander around aimlessly then he would just be wasting more time.
Kenji closed his eyes and decided to focus on the effects of danger sense and the ever feint sounds of wailing.
Kenji took one step forward and he could feel the effects of danger sense slowly wither along with the wailing.
He took two steps backwards and the same phenomenon occurred, he returned to his original position and took a step to his left and this time the feeling disappeared completely.
[Mana Flash activated.]
Kenji's body exploded rightwards, the feeling of danger sense increased ever so slightly but surely.
Kenji continued to run and he could feel the wailings grow louder and his danger sense getting more and more clear.
Kenji continued to run rightwards, evading the bodies of the zombies that continued to wail on the floor.
Kenji changed directions as soon as he felt the feeling slip, each time the feeling grew weaker, he would repeat the steps he made in the first place.
Kenji continued to run as fast as he could, a well lit room penetrated the corner of his eye and Kenji could feel his danger sense grow exponentially.
"He is definitely there." Kenji said to himself, even the hair lol n his head was reacting the potent sense of danger and Kenji was more than sure this was where the king was.
Kenji could feel every instinct in his body warning him against his actions but he couldn't care less.
'If I don't deal with this here then it would either come back to bite me or it would attract the Yakuza to our location.' Kenji thought, reinforcing his decision.
Kenji crashed through the double wooded doors, his eyes locked onto the monstrosity before him.
The 8 feet monstrosity stood there with sharp black claws penetrating it's green skin, a giant staff was held in it's hand and a maniacal smile on it's face, but it's most prominent feature remained the five spikes atop it's head.
