\'Hmmm, so we got a couple of zombies and Nightwalkers and another S-Grade,\' I thought as I looked at the 3 quests related to the underground dungeon once again. Then after I was done observing it carefully,
"All right. Let these go," I spoke as I observed the 4 people who were less criminal than the others. While I could have sold them as well, since they hadn\'t really done anything wrong, it was fine, I guess.
As for it biting me back? Nah, I don\'t think there is anyone really that could threaten me at this point. Later maybe, but now? Nah. Not really.
Those three looked at me for a few moments before nodding as they undid their Skills. The shield was gone while the blood trail vanished slowly into thin air. My eyes observed the whole thing as I saw them waking up in confusion.
Those 4 stood up only to look around with a confused expression before realization struck their head and they recalled everything. Soon, fear engulfed their eyes and, with shaking legs, they tried their best to take one step back at a time.
"You guys can go. I have got what I wanted. You can do whatever you want. Walter. Irene. George. Let\'s go. We got some things to do down there," I spoke as I began moving towards the underground dungeon.
George looked at them for one last time before moving behind me. Irene too just followed me as her eyes glared at those men before she focused on me. As for Walter, he muttered a few words at them before moving behind me as well.
Soon, we disappeared from their sight as we walked into the dungeon and the whole area began turning darker and darker.
Taking out the UV-Lamp from the [Time Storage] I lighted up the entire station as we began moving down. Walter was carefully looking at me as he observed the lamp in my hand and I just smiled at him before moving down further into the darkness.
For the first few minutes, we did not come across any zombies whatsoever, howsoever, as soon as we took a step in the bottom of the station
-Rwar!
-Rawr!
-Rawr!
-Slash!
With a single slash using the steel rod I had in my hand, I killed the entire horde in front of me.

About 2 dozen messages flew in front of me as I moved forward. Though the C-grades were more or less Elite, killing them didn\'t feel any different, to be honest. It was as easy as slashing a hot knife through melting butter.
Moving deeper into the station, we started finding stronger zombies, B-Grades and even a few A-Grades. As we were walking, when we reached the train station, we finally found the nightwalkers.
[NightWalker]
[Elite C-Grade Zombies, who have evolved their powers enough to compete even with the best B-Grades. They have lost their ability to walk in the sun along with their power to evolve any further. However, they can grow stronger by feeding on similar or stronger zombies.]
The first NightWalker was easy to kill, but as things went on, I felt like the subsequent zombies were stronger than the previous ones. Some NightWalker even felt like they were stronger than your average B-Grades, reaching A-Grade.
Some were even more powerful than A-Grades. Thankfully, the A-Grades I had with me were anything but simple. Along with my Skills, their power was already twice as high as normal with their own special gifts.
While I did kill many NightWalkers, George and Walter killed the most. Including Irene as well, who was more or less catching up to them but was still lacking a little. Perhaps she would become better once she realizes her full potential.
[Inspect!]
[Gift: Transmutation
The user can utilize a form of magic based on and/or take control of the transmutation of living or non-living things, ranging from simple changes and modifications to more complex and powerful transformations, allowing for harnessing their magical energies and/or mystical control of the aspects of a variety of forms. With this, the user will be able to perform a variety of magical spells and feats that manipulate transmutations.]
\'Yup, it\'s potential is beyond what she is just doing right now. Should I help her… or maybe I should let her find out on her own,\' I thought as I observed her for a few more moments and spoke,
"Let\'s continue."
And then nodded as they followed behind me without any question.
Soon we came across Elite A-Grades, against which Irene was struggling a little while George and Walter were fighting more or less on an equal basis.
[Elite A-Grade Headhunter Zombie]
[An Evolved Headhunter that has gained the ability to manipulate the matter it touches. It can change the nature of anything it touches, whether it\'s living or nonliving. It can accelerate the speed of decay as well and if you end up getting bitten by it, it might even take control of your body, turning you into one of its minions…]
The status just kept going on and on, but the gist of it was that it was powerful. Something that we haven\'t seen in a while. Perhaps it was because of it being an Elite over the fact that it was A-Grade? I wonder how strong an S-Grade would be?
We kept killing and fighting the zombies… or more like the three kids were trying their best to kill the A-Grades while I was helping them from behind. While I do want to kill those zombies, I guess I should assess the capabilities of George, Walter and Irene at the very least.
Though that thought process came to an end when another zombie entered the scene out of nowhere,
[The Bloodborne(S-Grade Zombie)]
[The being of the night that was born after losing every part of his body in exchange for blood. His \'Gift: Blood Manipulation\' allowed him to take complete control over his body before he reformed his body purely made of blood.
His powers are complete Blood Manipulation, that are not restricted by any form of energy matter, or stats. He can also manipulate the blood of other beings around him and control like his own and if wanted, can turn any being that has blood to his side
