UNDYING WARLORD

While Yvonne hadn’t rushed behind Dilan, the others had been running in the direction of the commotion that had quickly died down.

Yvonne was still the first one to arrive because she knew where to head, and there was no obstruction in the air as opposed to land which made the others reach a bit late.

So when she finally found Dilan, Yvonne landed on the ground while flapping her wings a few times to slow down the speed at which she landed before retracting the wings.

Meanwhile, Kathrine, Williams, and the others arrived not long after Yvonne, just to see the military uniforms, Soldiers holding rifles, and a few corpses of both monsters and soldiers.

“Took you guys long enough to arrive,” Dilan said without the slightest change in his expression.

His words caused everyone to look down to the ground and inspect the corpses, except Yvonne, who knew that none of the bodies belonged to a member of their group.

Thus, she didn’t bother rushing over. Of course, only Yvonne could have known that none of their group members died.

The others had rushed over, yet, they took way too long because they got lost while searching for the origin of the commotion.

Everything had quieted down even before they could pinpoint the area of the commotion. This made things quite difficult for Kathrine and the others.

Only by following Kathrine was it possible for the rest of the Ascenders to find Dilan so quickly.

Yet, Dilan was still of the belief that they had been too slow and that they had slacked off, which was quite frustrating._.

But it was not as if they could actually retort something to Dilan, so they kept silent.

The Soldiers and Felia looked at the group of Ascenders, who had arrived. Their shock was clearly visible because they had just seen someone flying through the air, with black wings on her back.

“I’m not dreaming, right? You guys saw that as well…r-right….?” A young woman asked, rubbing her eyes with her trembling hands.

“She has…or had wings. They…disappeared…” The young man next to her answered, feeling no less baffled than the young woman.

Meanwhile, Felia could only stare at Dilan and the people behind him with a conflicted expression.

‘All of them are much stronger than I am. Is that his group?’

It was now that Felia understood why Dilan had been laughing at her. Her invitation was a joke. Dilan didn’t look like he needed protection, and it was not as if the Blue Star camp could provide them with more benefits.

Maybe women, honor, and some titles were what they could give him. However, considering that there were four beauties in the group of people behind Dilan, she was pretty sure that he didn’t need women.

As for honor and useless titles, they were just decorations and their value was non-existent.

Felia had completely misunderstood the entire situation, including the reason for Dilan to have started laughing. Her invitation might have been a joke to him but it hadn’t been enough to make him laugh.

Rather, it was the way in which the military treated him with respect and a certain amount of fear that made him laugh. It sounded weird but the situation was more than enough for him to laugh his ass off.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t do so, otherwise, his image might crumble and he might be deemed insane by his own people.

That was something Dilan wanted to avoid by all means.

?[0)??? ‘To think that those who treated me like shit are now acting cowardly in front of me. The Primordial Ascension is truly a God-gifted miracle and opportunity.’

Dilan clearly recalled the times he had encountered the police in the last few years, and higher authorities belonging to the government and military at every possible social gathering his father had organized.

There had been many social gatherings, and most had been to expand his connections to make more money, gain more power, and start his own little imperium.

Dilan had never actually bothered about the military and government but their deeds were, by no means, better than his father’s. Too many higher authorities were corrupted, violent, and arrogant and all of them treated the poor and powerless like their pets.

In fact, the higher authorities’ pets were treated far better than the poor and powerless. This was something Dilan had been forced to witness personally at the social gatherings that were more of an exhibition of power and influence than a friendly get-together.

That was why he couldn’t hold back his laughter when he saw the Soldier’s expression and Felia’s careful approach that was somewhat filled with excitement.

He could tell that Felia had his best intentions at heart, but Dilan was definitely the wrong person to be asked to join the military.

“Is Mayor Clerens the only person in charge of the Blue Star camp? If so, will he cause problems for us if Survivors decide against joining him?” Dilan asked after he had gotten back to his senses.

He looked deep into Felia’s brown eyes, ignoring the interested gazes from behind him.

“Blue Star Camp?”

“Mayor Clerens?”

“Deciding against joining?”

“What is going on?”

Dilan didn’t intend to turn around and explain what was going on to his group. He was more interested in knowing whether Mayor Clerens would hold a hostile stance against them for creating their own group.

One might even consider Dilan and his people outlaws. If the government and military wanted to, they could even label him as a Devil, turn the survivors against him and his group, and attack him in the name of justice.

The truth didn’t matter and Dilan actually didn’t care. After all, he killed his own people, the moment they attempted raping someone.

That was definitely not something a normal group would do, let alone someone following the laws of the old world.

Felia instantly realized that Dilan was not only the leader of the small group behind him but that they had far more people in their group.

Thus, she was not sure what to say and how to convince Dilan, especially because she had been ordered to bring every single survivor back to the Blue Star camp, even if they didn’t want to.

Felia hadn’t been given a reason to execute this order, but when was there ever a time orders had been explained by the seniors?

However, even if she wanted to, it was not as if she could force Dilan or anyone in his group to follow her. She and her people would die trying to force the powerful Ascenders to obey her commands.

Thus, Felia felt her head beginning to ache at the thought of answering Dilan’s question and coming up with believable reasons for why she couldn’t bring the Survivors back to the Blue Star camp even though she had found some.

“Mayor Clerens is a good person…but he is not the only one leading the Blue Star camp. I don’t know much about you and your group, and I’m not strong enough to force you to do anything.

However, I should be honest with you. We faced a few attacks from hostile Survivors in the past. So it is possible that the Blue Star camp leaders see you as a threat…

Even if you are not their enemy, they might send someone over to take a look at your base and so on, secretly or not. I…”

Felia wanted to say a few more things, thinking that she could help Dilan a bit that way. However, he only lifted his hand, indicating that she didn’t need to say anything else.

‘Well, she is kind enough to warn me and to reveal the truth. If her subordinates tell her superiors about that, she might even be exiled for the things she told me.’ Dilan didn’t know Mayor Clerens but he could tell that Felia whole-heartedly supported him.

That meant he was probably a good person as she didn’t show any fear while speaking about the Mayor.

However, that didn’t really change his point of view. He wouldn’t join another camp, even if his entire group wanted to.

Rather than being ordered around, he was willing to be a lone wolf.

“You can take a look at our group, make your own assumptions of it and report to Mayor Clerens when you return.” He said in a nonchalant manner, before turning his head toward the Soldiers, whose eyes were filled with lust as they openly ogled Kathrine, Ailee, and Yvonne.

“But while you guys rest in our base, my rules apply!”

Dilan didn’t need to say anything else. Everyone understood that he had noticed the Soldier’s lustful gazes, and both his cold eyes and his bloodthirst upon adding the last line was an answer enough about what he thought of them.
