UNDYING WARLORD

The atmosphere in Dilan’s group was a mixture of being fearful of the unknown future, the intent to become stronger to survive the future challenges, and their trust in Dilan’s strength.

He was, by far, the strongest person they had seen until now.

Thus, even if they wouldn’t trust Dilan as a person, their loyalty toward him would be unwavering until someone more reliable and powerful would appear in front of them.

Some Survivors had believed that the military was more reliable, stronger, and more trustworthy than Dilan was.

However, fate hadn’t been on their side and they had met their deaths at Dilan’s hands.

They had supported the Soldiers in doing whatever they wanted to and had hoped to be able to join the Blue star camp immediately after.

To their misfortune, the entire incident ended rather bloody. Those who were too late to run away died, and Dilan made his opinion about rapists and traitors clear.

It was not the first time that Dilan made his stance clear. However, this time, he acted in a way that was looked at with split opinions.

After all, some members of his group might have spared the traitors in his group.

However, Dilan was too agitated about their betrayal to leave all of them alive._.

Because his wound had been torn open several times after it had stopped bleeding, he was feeling exhausted.

Even after 24 hours had passed, his wound was not fully healed. The effect of [Bracing Pain] had stopped, and he didn’t receive an amplification from the passive occupational ability anymore.

Nonetheless, Dilan was still weak, probably due to the fact that his Stamina couldn’t recuperate properly while he had been injured.

‘The others are somewhat motivated to go into an all-in war with the Blue Star camp because they don’t really like the government and military, but there will be many casualties…’

Dilan knew that he couldn’t fight the fight for others, they had to do it on their own.

That was only obvious but it was something essential for others to realize as well.

He could protect them to a certain extent but that was the maximum he could do. Dilan was not the nanny of the members belonging to his group.

‘Well, let’s just hope that it won’t end that bad. Fighting vile Ascenders and ferocious monsters is fine, but I don’t really want to fight against other humans if they never did anything to us.’

Dilan might be a battle maniac who acknowledged that he loved fighting. However, that didn’t mean he was a psychopath, who wanted to slaughter just anyone to become stronger.

Otherwise, he would have long since killed the majority of his people, while forming a small but powerful group of Ascenders and then proceeded to search and slaughter other groups of human Survivors.

But that was not what Dilan wanted to do.

He would rather overpower everyone and make them fear even the thought of fighting him.

This would prevent anyone from thinking about attacking him or his group, whether it was the government, the military, other groups of humans, monsters, other races, or vile Ascenders.

All of them should think twice to be even close to him while harboring Ill intentions!!

Despite this ‘grand’ plan, Dilan knew that it would take a while before he could rival an existence like the Red Dragon.

It should have become even stronger now that it had devoured the Fragment of the Sun God’s Divinity.

With that in mind, other plans now took priority, such as the creation of the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>, the focus on combat training, procuring more and better equipment, and a more efficient way to increase their level and gain status points.

That was also why Dilan finished recuperating properly before he joined the others in fighting their way through the different Gates.

By now, Shiron was nearly void of monsters.

This was an achievement the Tier-1 Ascenders fulfilled by roaming around in groups and obliterating every single threat they came across.

Because temporary Gates would emerge and throw out a bunch of monsters every now and then, it was impossible to clear the city completely.

Nevertheless, Dilan was quite surprised that his group fought harder than ever before.

He clearly noticed that almost everyone was trying much harder to become stronger than ever before.

This was a nice change compared to the behavior most of his people had shown before when there was no threat.

‘I guess it will be better to always have an opponent to fight against. It motivates everyone to improve. Maybe it’s for the best. That way nobody should be able to overpower the group even if I might not be at the base!’

He was visibly satisfied with how things progressed.

Oliver and Ailee noticed this as they passed by him when he had fully recuperated.

“Hey Dilan, do you want to go out with us? We wanted to fight a few new monsters at the Mountain ring of the Elements Gate.” Oliver asked, half expecting Dilan to decline his invitation.

Surprisingly, Dilan thought about it just for a second before nodding his head.

“Sounds good. I wanted to go to the Mountain Ring of the Elements, either way. Did you guys plan to do anything special or just to kill a few monsters and to look for more wild vegetables?” He enquired.

If they were to go out to hunt nonchalantly, Dilan might join them until they reached the Gate, or he would do something different than what they had planned.

“Well, we want to become stronger…so we planned on killing a few stronger monsters. The monsters in the Gate of the Mountain ring of the Elements are of a high level, which would help us to level up and gain many status points.”

Ailee nodded her head in approval. She had felt useless during the last few weeks. Her strength had been extremely high in the beginning because she had attained the experiences and memories of a professional Archer.

With her bow and the arrows, Ailee had been extremely powerful in the early days just after the Primordial Ascension had occurred.

As long as she could use her experience as an Archer, everything would be perfectly fine.

Unfortunately, her advantage quickly lost its credibility. Too many monsters with strong defenses had sprung up like mushrooms, forcing Ailee to aim at the small vital areas to take them down.

However, this was easier said than done. Monsters with an Agility manyfold higher than an average human can ever achieve, were able to evade attacks easily.

It was no problem for them to perceive Ailee’s attack and evade it to a certain extent.

That way, it was much harder for her to inflict severe injuries on her opponent. Ailee had been feeling useless for quite a while, and only when she gained her occupation, a handful of new abilities, and more proficiency with all of these abilities did her self-confidence return.

It was slowly building up once again, and Ailee was now ready to become much stronger. She was confident in proving herself as a valuable member, and was ready to show Dilan and everyone else what she was capable of!
