My System & My Academy of Superpowers

Outside the dorm, Naomi, Gwen, Steve, and Johan were waiting patiently for Ryan to come out of the building with everyone or at least for someone to come out.

"Tch, what's wrong now?"

"Right, they are not coming, no one's coming out of the building,"

"Although the chaos has calmed down, there's no sign of life in there,"

"Shall we go and check?" Johan, Naomi, and Gwen were debating whether or not they should go and save Ryan. 

While Steve was having a conversation with someone through a phone call, "Yes, yes. To the dorm, yeah. Quick. Thanks." 

Steve hung up the call and looked at the three people debating on a stupid topic. 

"I think we should go," Johan finally decided, "Yeah. let's check." He took a step forward.

"Ah, sir..."

"Yeah, Mr. Steve?" Johan turned his neck around, "I think you and Gwen Stacy should stay here while I and-"

"No, no, sir. It's not about that." Steve glanced at Gwen, "Actually, the medical team is done healing the students in the main building."

"Oh? That's good," Johan turned around.

"Sir, I got a call from Dr. Mary," Johan stopped in his spot, "He said that she wants to come here to check the situation.

"I told her that Ryan's still fighting and the Head General just made his entry inside the building too. For some reason, this got her worried even more. 

"She said she will reach the dorm building in a minute. She's coming back so I don't think you should go at this time."

"Why? There's no harm in saving my own student--"

"It's not about harm. What if you disappeared or became invisible like those four? What if you don't come back? We can't lose our principal at such times." Johan answered promptly. 

"Sigh. fine I will wait here till Dr. Mary comes back, won't wait another second."

"That would be great," Steve leaned against a metal gate. 

'But seriously, what is taking someone as strong as general Brandon so long?' Johan thought.

The only possibility was…. They all were dead but that's not possible, right? No one standing outside the dorm knew what was going on inside.

******

< The creator of the necromancy puppets is killed by the host. The remaining zombies will enter Revenge mode >

< Revenger Zombies: The zombies will grow twice stronger than before. Their attacks will be more aggressive. >

'Revenger zombie huh?' Ryan glanced at Devon and others.

"Guys, I think you should leave right now."

"Yeah, sure. Let's leave." Devon walked towards the stairs.

"No. I mean, leave without me."

"Now what do you mean?" Rigid asked.

"The zombies. There still are a few zombies roaming freely on the campus, I gotta finish them before they leave the dorm."

"So lets it together-"

"No. I- I had something personal with Ainz, now that he's dead I will only feel satisfied when I finish every single zombie created by him."

"There are still more than 20 zombies out there,"

"Come on. I already killed more than 70 zombies alone, by myself." Ryan shrugged, "I will get the remaining zombies too."

"Are you sure?"

"Man, just leave!"

"Rigid, let's go. He'll be fine." Rosy grabbed Rigid's arm and pulled him towards the staircase.

"Uh, Devon." He called him before Devon started climbing down the stairs.

"Uhm? What is it, Ryan?"

"Uh…. unfortunately…. Pete's a zombie now," Devon's face turned sad.

"Hm. Guess so."

"But, I haven't killed him yet." Devon lifted his eyes, "I want you to find him, please. Find him but don't kill him at any cost."

"Huh? No- I mean, I will have to kill him, he's a zombie!"

"Yeah… but, I want to be the one to send him off." Ryan said in a low voice.

"Oh… I see." Devon nodded, "Fine. I will try my best not to kill him." 

'Although I hope you don't even find Pete on the way, if you did, please don't kill him.' Ryan thought. 

Because of the revenge mode, all of the zombies were furious about killing Ryan, they were behind Ryan's life only. There was no way they would go for others who were using the right-side staircase. 

"Now go, run!" 

"Please come out alive."

"You are saying that now?" Ryan rolled his eyes, "These zombies are nothing for me, just run!"

Brandon and Devon took off running. 'They are fast...' Ryan thought. But of course, he was on a par with Devon's vampire speed. 

'Now...' Ryan sensed a group of zombies coming up from the back staircase. They were furiously climbing the stairs, pushing each other to run forward. 

'Let's take care of you. I need as much Exp as possible from you.' Ryan clenched his fists, 'Pete…. I hope you are here.' Ryan thought.

"Skills." a screen appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. It was his skill tab.

< Skills: >

< Vision Lv. 12 >

< Blood Fists Lv. 11 >

< Regeneration Lv. 13 >

< Boil Blood Lv. 21 >

"Blood fists."

< Blood fists activated >

Ryan's fists glowed in dark red color. They were darker than before, maybe because his skill upgraded. 

"Bloods,"

< Bloods: 4K [4,000] >

"Upgrade the skill Boil Blood,"

< Do you wish to upgrade the skill Boil Blood? It will cost you 1K Bloods per upgrade >

"Yes. Upgrade the skill by two levels."

< Boil Blood upgraded to level 23 >

< Bloods: 2K >

'This will help me.' his brand new skill, not just a normal skill but an Epic grade skill. 

It was a level 23 skill, the strongest of Ryan's yet. And Ryan knew how to use the skill which was a big asset for him. This skill…. Is really a strong skill if the user knows how to use it. 

Investing in other skills would not bring him any good but investing in Boil Blood skills would grant him a big return. He had a group of 29 zombies approaching him. 

He had no intentions of running away but killing every single zombie one by one would be really hectic for him now. After his tough fight with the previous 80 zombies, Henry, his companion, and Ainz, Ryan had lost most of his stamina. 

So killing every single zombie one by one was not an option. He didn't have any skill which would infect long-range damage. 

His only option right now was his Epic skill, Boil Blood.
