Chapter 79 Killing Lesser C-Grade Zombies As Usual

I looked at the new effect with my eyes switching between Erina and my Black Club.

What's really baffling was that I still see her eyes hopeless without much emotion in them.

"Wh-" I was about to ask but she spoke first,"Nobody was there to help me when I begged them. I knew it was futile, but still…" She sighed with a bitter smiled before continuing,

"... Even though it's futile, at least I could provide some assistance. Even though it's meaningless, it will help me feel a little better."

I looked at her with a concentrated face before a deep sigh escaped my mouth before I moved a step forward and spoke,"Thank you. I don't know what kind of past you have been through… but at the very least, I will try to help you get out of here. Consider it as repayment for this blessing you gave my weapon."

Her eyes seemed like they wanted to explain it to me that it was meaningless, but before she could speak

[Temporal Deceleration!]

[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]

-Boom!

-Boom!

-Boom!

-BOOM!

I started hitting those Zombies as hard as I could, using more energy than required, and the result was…

[Durability of Weapon (Black Club of the Doomsday Survivor) increased +2]

[Durability of Weapon (Black Club of the Doomsday Survivor) increased +1]

[Durability of Weapon (Black Club of the Doomsday Survivor) increased +3]

.

.

And after I killed all the Zombies on Floor 16

[Durability: 430/500]

Maybe because I was using it as much as I could with all my strength, along with going up, there was also a relative degradation of Durability, too.

'But since the net result is positive, I guess I can use this weapon as much as I can,' I thought with a smile before running towards Erina and once again picking her up in arms before I took a look at the [Emergency Quest!]

[Survive!]

[Survive for as long as you can!

Time before the Night Crawlers reach Floor 16: 6 minutes!

Time Limit: Indefinite]

Nodding inwardly, I moved towards the next floor.

[Floor 16 Cleared!]

[Floor 17 Cleared!]

[Floor 18 Cleared!]

[Floor 19 Cleared!]

[Floor 20 Cleared!]

[You have entered Floor 21!]

[3rd Boss Floor!]

[Kill the Boss Zombie!]

[Lesser C-Grade Zombie Elite Crawler(All Stats tripled)(Health +1000%)]

[Time Limit: 20240 Seconds]

My eyes focused on the Message before I checked something else as well.

[Survive!]

[Survive for as long as you can!

Time before the Night Crawlers reach Floor 21: 13 minutes!

Time Limit: Indefinite]

Took a Deep breath

[Eyes of the Time Keeper(Foresight)]

'How long before I get attacked?'

[10 seconds]

I then observed the Lesser C-Grade Zombie forming out of the ground before he looked at me with those monstrous red eyes as he stood in front of me. He was the same as the other crawlers, except he had sharper fingers instead of normal ones and his eyes were shining a little red.

Then I saw him getting on all his fours just like any other crawler,

[6 seconds]

-Whoosh!

He then vanished as he ran towards the side before I saw him coming… not at me… but at Erina.

'He is fast!' my eyes turned open wide as I looked at his speed. If I were to compare his speed to the C-Grade Licker, then he would at least reach 30% speed of what C-Grade was capable of.

Running in a full circle, he reached closer to Erina, who was standing still there, without any idea of what was going on.

[Eyes of the Time Keeper(Foresight)]

I looked into the future to find a perfect timing. Once I saw how things were going to transpire, I took a jumping stance, waited for the perfect opportunity and…

-Whoosh!

-BOOOOM!!!

I hit at its weakest point, in the hardest way possible…

[Durability of Weapon (Black Club of the Doomsday Survivor) increased +50]

[Dungeon Points Received: +500]

[Dungeon Points Multiplied by 3]

[Dungeon Points Received: +1500]

I checked the Durability of the Weapon as I stood there, deactivating my abilities.

[Durability: 470/500]

"Huh?!" A bit surprised, Erina looked at me with a complex expression. Her eyes seemed to be questioning things, and I wondered what she was shocked about. She had already seen me using my skills, no?

"What happened?" I asked as I lifted her up again and gulped a little as she spoke,"nothing. Just that… you are more powerful that you seem."

"Is that so? I guess I'll take that as a compliment," I spoke with a slight chuckle before moving on to the next floor. Though while I was smiling on the outside, on the inside there was something else going on in my mind.

'If there is already Lesser C-Grade on 21st Floor… doesn't that means that I will be meeting C-Grade in the upcoming boss floors… and let's say that I miraculously killed that C-Grade Zombie with all his upgraded stats and sh*t, what next? A B-Grade Zombie?!' I gulped at my own thoughts as I wondered what I would do if something like that were to happen…

"Well… if the worse comes to worst, I can just run away…" I thought out loud as I sighed. Even though I didn't like the idea of running, there is only a little a man can do with only this much power, I guess.

And just like that, I kept moving up a floor, killing more and more Zombies each and every floor. The Zombies were at least 5 times stronger than the ones on the 1st floor and killing them was taking a bit more power than usual.

All this difficulty up was making things difficult for me as I did not know how long it would take me to reach a point where I won't be able to kill Zombies as freely as I can now.

'Maybe I should have come later, after I had become a bit stronger than this?' I pondered as I questioned my hasty decision. Was I blinded by power so much? Or maybe I was scared of losing my loved ones…?

[Floor 22 Cleared!]

[Floor 23 Cleared!]

[Floor 27 Cleared!]

[Floor 30 Cleared!]

[Floor 32 Cleared!]

[Floor 34 Cleared!]

Soon I reached halfway to the Dungeon Floor as I wondered what would be the next boss… no, I was sure about the next boss.

'It's a C-Grade,' I knew. Based on the previous boss and the Zombies I dealt in the previous floors, I was 100% sure about it.

[Survive!]

[Survive for as long as you can!

Time before the Night Crawlers reach Floor 34: 40 minutes!

Time Limit: Indefinite]

I gulped as I began moving to the next floor, but…

"Ummm… are you sure you should be going to the next floor like this?" Erina asked as she looked at me with a complex expression.

"Well.. not like I have much choice here, do I?" I spoke with a slightly awkward face, though she turned confused at me as she asked,"why not use the [Dungeon Shop]? You must have collected enough energy to use that feature, didn't you?"

"The 'what' now?" I asked with a slightly baffled look… before my eyes searched through the entire Dungeon Screen, but still couldn't find anything on it. Not stopping, I searched through my own System Screen and…

[Dungeon Options*]

Is what I found on it….
