Chapter 52 - Solo Dungeon Diving 2_3

"This is one of the main reasons why I hate Undead!" I shouted that phrase as I ran.

Behind me, dozens of undead also ran. They don't follow me, they chase me! And even more terrifying, that undead want to eat me!

"Rawr!"

"Rawr!"

They made strange cries as they moved their legs. Undead named Corpse Walkers – who are corpses of people – can run like living people! And it wouldn't be an exaggeration if I said that they are faster than an athlete.

The Corpse Walkers remind me of a movie titled World War ABC. But luckily, the undead in this world isn't like the zombies in that movie.

What am I talking about?

I'm talking about their bites. One bite can turn a person into a zombie.

I'm lucky the Corpse Walkers don't have such abilities. If they have it, then I'm already dead!

Rock Lizard Leather Armor along with the Cyan Arms and Legs Guard gave me protection. But, there are still some parts of my body that open without protection.

Some Corpse Walkers managed to bite my body or rather, they bit my thighs and my upper arms. One of those lucky ones managed to bite my neck.

I got all those injuries after a dozen Corpse Walkers knocked me down. All those undead came out of the darkness simultaneously! They didn't give me time to give a counterattack or to escape.

After struggling. I pierce their hearts, decapitated their heads, and dismembered their bodies using the Silver Long Sword, I managed to escape.

But, I hadn't had time to drink a bottle of Basic Potion, a dozen other Corpse Walkers appeared in the road I'm running in.

And that is how I was chased by a dozen Corpse Walkers.

"Rawr!"

One nearby Corpse Walker pounce on me from the side. Realizing that, I stepped aside to dodge. Then I swung Silver to cut off the undead's right leg.

Slash! Ripp!

The undead fell to tackle the steps of the other Corpse Walkers. It gave me time to escape and I didn't want to waste it.

"I have to find a place to take shelter."

My eyes moved to scan the surroundings. I want a building that has sturdy doors!

After running for a while, the Goddess of Fortune finally smiled at me! I found the building I needed.

I turned to approach the door of the red brick building. And yes, I'm so lucky! This door is unlocked.

I opened the door and went inside. I closed the door in a matter of seconds before I pushed a cabinet to block the door.

Bam! Bam!

I know, that door won't last long.

I ran up the stairs to the second floor. When I got there, I went back up the other stairs. On the third floor, I searched for a room with windows. A few minutes later, I found one.

Again, I blocked the door using a piece of furniture.

Now, I have time to heal myself.

❀

My attempt to break away from the mob of Corpse Walker made me have to leave my Leather Bag behind, at the scene of the ambush. And unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to take back my Leather Bag.

It got even worse because after I killed most of the Corpse Walker in there, my body, armor, and clothes became covered in blood, viscous body fluids, and small pieces of rotten flesh.

With all those disgusting things attached to my armor and body, I was terrified of infection.

The luck I got from that event was the injuries I got were only minor injuries. They weren't directly exposed to all the disgusting things like blood, bodily fluids, and corpse walker rotten flesh because they were protected and covered by my armor and my clothes.

And yes, my puke resistance increased because of that episode.

As for the wound on my neck, it was just a scratch.

Yes, the Blue Necklace which is a Slave Collar shows an unexpected function. The Slave Collar became a shield that protected my neck.

For once, this thing does something useful.

The wounds on my body healed after I drank a bottle of Basic Potion and rested for approximately ten minutes.

Now, my condition was improved and my stamina is replenished. I'm ready to fight.

"Let's move."

I stood up and approached the door. Putting up my ears, I was trying to figure out if those Corpse Walkers were entering this house.

"Ugh! Those undead don't make a sound at all if I'm not close enough to them."

And it seemed, those undead only reacted if they heard a voice. These characteristics that mimic zombies make me troubled.

Having no other choice, I walked out of that room while trying not to make any noise.

Then, I went down the stairs. I want to find out if the front door has been broken or not.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the door was still at anding. But a few minutes later, I held my breath when I saw the dozens of Corpse Walkers still wandering in front of the front doors of this building.

I wanted to escape through the back door but I abandoned the plan after I recalled, dozens of Corpse Walkers roamed on the streets of this lost city.

"Exploring this city by jumping from one roof to another is not a bad idea. Especially when the buildings in here are pretty close to each other."

A plan has been made. And it's time for me to realize that plan.

I turned around and walked up the stairs to the top floor. My journey went well until...

"Rawr!" A Corpse Walker shrieked as it appeared from behind the door.

"Kya!" I shouted and at the same time, spontaneously, I cut off the undead's stomach.

The attack did not kill the monster. The long cut in its stomach made it ooze out its rotten innards.

I hate this! I hate Jump Scare, Thriller, and Gore!

The undead here doesn't have heat. Therefore, Heat Detection was completely useless! I can't detect the undead at all.

Lost City Beldea becomes Haunted City Beldea when the Undead unexpectedly appears from the darkness to scare me!

Feeling the anger, fear, and hatred, I behead the Undead.

Slash! Ripp!

The undead died and I directly ran towards the roof.

I ignored the monster.

What about the Magic Stone and the Corpse Walker's meat?

No! Just no!

I don't want to do cannibalism let alone eating rotten meat!

Without In intention, a sigh of relief came out of my nose as I watched the Corpse Walkers in the street stood still, not following me as I jumped into another building.

"With this, the exploration I'm doing will become easier."

I went south, to the nearest Treasure Spot by doing parkour from one building to another.

In the end, I saw the building that was my target, finish line, and destination after a few minutes had passed.

"I'm going to be rich!" I made a shout and approached the nearest door on the roof of this building.

I want to get down to the street by passing through the inside of this building. Therefore, I opened the brown wooden door. Then...

I froze.

After I opened the door, I met the Ghoul that was eating the Corpse Walker!

The Gore scene terrified me! But I'm more afraid of Ghoul that looking at me with its red eyes!

"SCREEE!"

The ghoul shrieked and lunged at me.

I'm the one who deals with the danger, dodging the attack spontaneously.

The ghoul passed me and I breathed a sigh of relief because I didn't get hurt. I unsheathed Silver when I turned around.

The ghoul silently looked at me.

Doubt enveloped my heart. Therefore I didn't take the first step to launch an attack.

Ghouls are humans who become undead. Different from the Corpse Walkers, their bodies didn't decompose, their bodies looked like they were filled with life. But... They don't have skin!

The pink flesh and muscle fibers which is clearly visible are obviously so scary. Especially when the flesh is drenched by blood!

Suddenly, the Ghoul sprinted up to me.

Its mouth was wide open to reveal rows of yellow teeth. The monster's arms stretched forward, the fingers that were decorated by sharp nails were wide open, they showed intent to seize me.

I focused my mind. Thanks to that, the Ghoul's movements became slower. Taking advantage of this situation, I took a step forward.

I approached the right side of the monster.

The ghoul tried to grab my shoulder and I dodged by throwing my body down.

Ghoul's arm passed over my head. At the same time, I launched an attack. Using Silver, I cut off the monster's thigh.

Luckily, my attack worked!

Ghouls were down!

As it tried to stand up, I unsheathed Bleed Fair using my right hand.

Again, the Ghouls attacked me. It swung its arm, its sharp claws trying to cut off my body!

I am grateful for having a high AGI. Thanks to these AGI, I was able to dodge Ghoul attacks without forcing myself too hard.

I kept dodging its attacks for some time.

Then, when an opportunity came, I swung Silver to cut off the Ghoul's right arm.

As a result of the attack, the Ghoul took a few steps back.

I didn't stop my attack. I discharge my energy and Bleed Fair in my right hand emits a red glow.

"[Impale]"

Stab!

I stabbed the Ghoul in the stomach and pushed it down! Thanks to the attack, I managed to nail the monster to the floor.

When the monster tried to pull out my Bleed Fair, I beheaded it.
