Dilan's plan had been simple.
By attracting the monster's attention in the hallway, he prevented attacked from behind him.
Everything behind him was cleared, and the patient rooms with only one zombie inside were locked.
As such, the only way to attack him was through the front, which made things much easier.
If the huge monster he presumed to be some sort of evolved rat or Krendel were to attack him without caring about its brethren, it would simply rush through the hallway, bulldozing its way through dozens of monsters to reach him.
This would allow Dilan to focus on fighting against the stronger monster because their fight would kill the monsters around him, either way.
On the other hand, if the huge monster were to care about its brethren, it wouldn't trample over its own kind.
And this was even better than the first scenario. It rid Dilan of his opponents without even doing anything so he couldn't complain.
It was an efficient plan that didn't require a lot of thought to be implemented.
The only thing one needed was courage, and no fear of being injured.
Because both applied to Dilan, he was ready to face the beasts ahead.
The large monster had yet to enter his sight, but that was to his advantage.
Using the momentum, he catapulted himself ahead, wielding the two longer rat horns.
Killing the Krendels and horned rats was quite easy with the two weapons.
They were sharp enough to inflict injuries as long as enough force was used.
His strength was double that of both the horned rats and Krendels.
Only the Krendels' agility was slightly faster than half of Dilan's agility stat.
But that was not nearly enough to get their hands on Dilan as adrenaline was pumping through his entire body was overflowing with the excitement to fight with all his mind.
It had been accumulated because his battles had always ended way too quickly.
His strength and combat prowess had improved considerably but the monsters he had been fighting since the last six days were still at the same level, except for a few mutated zombies, who had given him some tough time. But, even they ended up dying at his hands.
This had been frustrating as he had been restricted.
Yet, right now, he was able to give his all, and fight for a very long time, at that.
The fight was bound to be difficult to win, but that was the best part about the current situation.
Kicking at the masses of rats skittering over the ground, he made several rats fly through the air.
Using his weapon, he slashed two rats while they were still mid-air, only for their blood to splatter on his face.
Entering amidst the crowd of monsters with fast strides, his shoes trampled over many monsters under his weight.
Fighting like a ferocious beast that had been unleashed, Dilan slashed, thrust, kicked and stomped on monsters.
Using all kinds of tactics in order to defeat and kill the opponents around him, a vibrant smile emerged on his face.
It made him look like an insane killer as his entire body was drenched in blood.
His brown hair was unrecognizable, and it was almost as if his sky blue eyes had been affected as well.
The beautiful, once crystal clear eyes now shone with a maniacal delight, while blood was streaked across one of it.
However, this didn't restrict Dilan in any way, and neither did it harm him owing to the passive [Lesser Immunity]!
Never halting his fight, Dilan turned into a flash as he advanced several meters, just to retreat once again.
Even if his entire being told him to keep advancing and to slaughter his way through the masses of monsters, the last remnants of his rational mind prevented him from doing this.
He had no way of securing himself against attacks from behind which meant that he had to be extra vigilant.
Thus he advanced several meters, slaughtering everything in his way before he had to retreat.
Unsure of how much time had passed or how many monsters he killed, Dilan just noticed that his hands were slick with blood making him lose his grasp around the two rat horns.
That was an unnecessary annoyance.
But instead of wasting his time, Dilan threw the horns towards his opponents, puncturing one, while another one was hit with the horn's backside, knocking it out.
Wiping off the blood on the rather clean backside of his clothes, he got ready to kill again.
He had backed off several meters, giving him the necessary space to get hold of the Reinforced Stone Spear.
Meanwhile, he kicked a Krendel, sending it flying in the crowd of monsters before he could start the second round of his carnage.
Making proper use of the Reinforced Stone spear, he slashed out, slicing several horned rats in half as if he was cutting vegetables.
Using his extraordinary high speed, it was possible for him to defeat dozens of monsters within seconds.
'A halbert, glaive, or a scythe would be a perfect weapon,' Dilan thought, only to keep smiling as he ended the life of one monster after another.
He had long since lost count of how many monsters died at his hands, but Dilan was pretty sure that the number of corpses in front of him was close to the accumulated number of monsters he eradicated before this fight!
And this was something exciting, highly addictive, and he wanted more of it!!
As such, the moment Dilan made eye contact with the huge Krendel that was more than two meters tall, and had a huge physique, he couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine.
'Finally!!'
The huge Krendel had a horrendous-looking pig head, a body that resembled a brown-furred Yeti, thick legs and feet that flattened one horned rat under them after another as it mercilessly squashed them.
While walking through the huge halfway, the monster looked eerily calm.
The four razor-sharp claw-like black fingers of the huge Krendel scratched over the hallway's walls on both sides, leaving trails on the blood-soaked walls.
But that was not even the most interesting because it almost looked like the huge Krendel smiled when it noticed that Dilan looked at it.
Dilan's right hand ached a lot, but he had forgotten about it during the slaughter before.
Even the earlier battles had made him concentrate on killing beasts making it look like his injury had never existed.
But right now, an itching sensation emerged from the central knuckle on his right fist, causing him to feel like he had to enter the fight immediately.
Otherwise, his right hand would act up, preventing him from releasing his peak combat prowess during the next few minutes.
Dilan knew that this was required to fight the dwindling number of weaker beasts while trying to find the weak spot of the giant Krendel.
Because it didn't seem to possess one!
'The spear will break the moment it pierces through the Krendel's fur. That is if it will be able to do that in the first place…'
Licking his dry lips, he prepared for the attack.
Slashing, thrusting, and kicking, he annihilated the beasts around him.
Meanwhile, the huge Krendel didn't take a single glance at the monsters it mashed as it kept advancing.
When it saw that Dilan killed all the monsters around him, it began to smile and didn't think much as it used its strength to push ahead.
With a mighty push, its speed accelerated at once, crossing the limit Dilan was able to reach with his heightened Agility.
It was only a small difference, but Dilan couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded.
'It's not a monster that focuses on Strength or Health??'
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.
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.
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!
