MTLNOVEL Chapter 105: The Undead Assault
---
After the entrance ceremony Dabi thinks I have 3 days before we left for capital.
Let's finish my mission quickly. Dabi fall asleep. Next morning, The sun was just beginning to rise when Dabi stood at the edge of Darkwood Forest, mentally preparing himself for the challenge that lay ahead.
The looming trees stood tall like silent sentinels, guarding the entrance to a world of shadows and danger.
His mission from the system was clear clear the high-level dimension gate only four days left to complete the mission.
With his newly purchased 10x experience multiplier card in hand, Dabi knew this was his chance to level up quickly and unlock more of his hidden potential.
But the task would not be easy. The undead world he was about to enter was known for its vicious creatures, and this gate had been classified as high-level for a reason.
"Time to get to work," Dabi muttered to himself, checking his system status once again for reassurance.

His stats glowed in front of his eyes, showing his rapid progress:

Agility: 120

He had everything he needed, yet the weight of what was to come pressed on his chest.
The fact that this dimension gate was in Darkwood Forest, notorious for housing powerful undead creatures, meant he'd face relentless enemies.
Skeletons, ghouls, dulahans these were only some of the horrors that lay ahead.
But Dabi didn't flinch. If anything, the prospect excited him.
His system shop had provided him with an edge: the 10x experience multiplier would help him rise in levels fast, making this journey all the more valuable.
After purchasing the card, his gold balance remained hefty at 472.5 million. He wasn't worried about resources. The real challenge was ahead the fights.
"Let's do this." He activated his Phantom Steps ability, making his way toward the gate, his form blurring as he moved like a wisp through the dense trees.
As he approached the center of Darkwood Forest, the air grew colder, and an eerie mist began to thicken. The ground trembled slightly as the portal to the dimension began to pulse with dark energy.
With a deep breath, Dabi stepped through the portal, feeling the sudden chill of the undead world embrace him.
The world on the other side was bleak, an endless expanse of crumbling tombstones, skeletal trees, and dark skies lit by an unnatural purple glow. It was a barren land, devoid of life. But it wasn't empty.
The moment Dabi materialized in the dimension, he felt the presence of the undead all around him.
Skeleton warriors rose from the earth, their bones clattering as they assembled themselves with ancient weapons in hand.
Their hollow eyes glowed with malice as they charged toward Dabi.
"Skeletons first, huh? Let's get this over with."
Dabi summoned his Elemental Master ability, conjuring bolts of fire and lightning into his palms. With a swift movement, he unleashed a wave of destruction toward the advancing horde, incinerating dozens of skeletons at once.
The explosion of bones filled the air, but more kept coming. Hundreds no, thousands of skeletons emerged from the earth, their numbers seemingly endless.
As the horde pressed in from all sides, Dabi activated his Dimension Master skill, tearing open a rift in space that sucked in a large swath of enemies, sending them into the void. But there was no time to relax. A new wave emerged ghouls.
The ghouls were faster than the skeletons, their grotesque, twisted bodies moving with unnatural speed.
Their claws scraped against the ground as they leaped toward Dabi with ravenous hunger in their eyes.
Dabi smirked. "This is more like it."
He activated Phantom Steps again, dodging their attacks with ease. His agility was far beyond theirs, and with each step, he moved like a ghost, phasing in and out of sight. The ghouls growled in frustration, unable to land a hit.
Dabi's hands glowed with mana as he summoned his Summon Wolf Pack ability. In an instant, Fen, Whity, and Nyx appeared by his side, their powerful forms radiating with energy.
Fen's growl echoed through the undead world, and without hesitation, the wolves lunged at the ghouls.
Fen tore through the first wave with his massive fangs, while Whity and Nyx covered Dabi's flanks, their attacks swift and precise.
The ground beneath them was soon littered with the mangled remains of the ghouls, but the battle wasn't over yet.
A loud rumble echoed through the air, and the ground began to shake. Dabi's eyes narrowed as three massive figures emerged from the shadows, towering over the battlefield.
The Dulahans had arrived ten of them in total, and they split into three teams, ready to corner Dabi.
The Dulahans were knight-like creatures, headless yet wielding massive swords and shields. Their armor was ancient and rusted, but their strength was undeniable.
Each step they took left a dent in the ground, and their presence filled the air with a sense of doom.
"This is going to be fun," Dabi muttered, cracking his knuckles.
The Dulahans moved in unison, charging toward Dabi from three sides. But Dabi was already in motion.
With Phantom Steps, he weaved between them, dodging their massive blades by mere inches.
His movements were fluid, almost like he was dancing between death itself.
He summoned his Dimension Master ability again, opening rifts in space to create distance, but the Dulahans were relentless.
Their swords swung down with incredible force, and even with Dabi's speed, he could feel the air crackle with each near miss.
"This is going to take more than speed," Dabi muttered. He activated Mana Control, channeling his vast mana reserves into his body.
His muscles surged with power, and with a quick motion, he drew his blade.
With a burst of mana, Dabi leaped into the air, bringing his sword down on the first Dulahan.
The impact was explosive, sending shockwaves through the ground as the Dulahan's armor cracked under the force of Dabi's strike.
But these creatures were durable. Even after taking such a hit, the Dulahan remained standing.
The other Dulahans closed in, their swords swinging in synchronized strikes. Dabi blocked one with his blade, deflecting the attack just in time to dodge another.
The ground beneath him cracked as the force of the Dulahans' blows shook the battlefield.
"Looks like I'll have to turn it up a notch."
Dabi activated Quick Analysis+, his eyes glowing as he studied the Dulahans' movements.
He could see their weaknesses now the small gaps in their armor, the sluggishness of their swings. With a smirk, he moved in for the kill.
In a flash of movement, Dabi struck the first Dulahan again, this time targeting the weak point in its armor.
The creature let out a hollow roar as it crumbled to the ground, its body disintegrating into ash.
One down.
The other Dulahans roared in fury, but Dabi didn't stop. With precise strikes, he cut through the remaining Dulahans one by one, his movements a blur of speed and power.
By the time the last Dulahan fell, Dabi stood alone on the battlefield, his breath steady. He had cleared the first wave of challenges, but he knew the final battle awaited.
The Lich, the master of this undead world, was waiting.
