UNDYING WARLORD

Chapter 264 Races of the Night



Dilan ignored Felia when he noticed her.

She was not important to him, and the information Mayor Clerens wanted to share with him was far more interesting than Felia’s life in the last few days.

“So what are these pouches which the members of the Blood Legion used to lure the monster tide to the Blue Star camp?” Dilan started by asking the simplest question first.

He could have just taken a look at the pouch but Dilan didn’t think about it at that time.

“Well, I can give you one of these pouches, but I don’t actually believe that you will be able to understand what they’re either way,” Mayor Clerens teased, showing his white teeth as he smiled at Dilan.

‘Does he think that’s funny?’ Dilan wondered, rolling his eyes before he returned to continue speaking with Mayor Clerens.

“You can do that, but you can also just tell me what those are.”

‘If he says that I cannot figure out what these pouches are, they cannot be treasures exchanged from the Gates.’ Dilan concluded quickly.

Old Jeff’s forged goods couldn’t be ‘seen’ by the system. Only by appraising them could someone read their characteristics, their grade, and so on.

The same applied to other goods that were hand-made or materials found from within Gates. One couldn’t see their ‘status’.

“You’re more narrow-minded and boring than I expected.” Mayor Clerens suddenly commented, while continuing to smile.

“And your farce is just weird. I don’t really get it. Why does it feel like you have two personalities?” Dilan asked in return, not understanding what the hell Mayor Clerens wanted from him.

Numerous questions flashed through Dilan’s mind, but there were a few things that were more important to him.

“From the way you act, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to control the entire Blue Star camp either. You controlled the Sheriff and the Hunter, didn’t you? You’re manipulating them however you want.” He retorted, not hiding that he was quite impressed by Mayor Clerens’ little act a while ago.

“Hehehe…I knew that you were different. From the moment I saw you, I knew that you are much funnier than everyone else.” Mayor Clerens suddenly said, his eyes gleaming in a bright red color as he looked deep into Dilan’s eyes.

“Forget your family!” He suddenly ordered, his voice turning eerie as it rang through Dilan’s ears. The bright red eyes of Mayor Clerens seemed to enlarge, and Dilan felt something shake his mind.

However, even before something could happen, Dilan’s hand lashed out. In an instant, he held Mayor Clerens’ by his throat, before he lifted him in the air.

Dilan’s sky blue eyes gleamed in fury and his expression distorted in anger as he looked at the muscular Mayor.

“I will gouge your eyes out with a hot spoon, pull your nails out, one after another, at an extremely slow speed before I will start to cut off your fingers, using an ordinary kitchen knife. Afterward, I will wait for you to regenerate before I repeat this process over and over again.” Dilan’s voice was extremely cold, and too low for anyone but Mayor Clerens to hear.

However, what everyone noticed was that Dilan held Mayor Clerens by his throat and that Mayor Clerens was smiling despite the tricky situation he was in.

“Oh, you figured it out? How?” Mayor Clerens asked mockingly as large fangs grew in his mouth and sliced the corners of his lips. He was ready to twist his own neck to free himself from Dilan’s grasp, if necessary.

But this would mean that he had to reveal that he was not an ordinary human, that he was a…

“You mean that you’re a bloodsucker…a Vampire, I mean?” Dilan’s voice was still not loud, but Mayor Clerens could hear him perfectly fine.

His smile turned brighter when he heard that Dilan had found out about his true identity. ‘He is truly different from everyone else. Should he be afraid that a Vampire appeared out of nowhere? That I was living in the midst of a group of humans undetected? He should be confused about how I don’t burn in the bright sunlight, or how I entered Milarn…but he doesn’t care at all!!’

Mayor Clerens’ eyes gleamed brightly, which turned even intenser when Dilan let go of his throat.

“How bothersome… Just tell me, had your race existed on Milarn before the Primordial Ascension, and are there other races, such as werewolves, witches, and so on as well?” It was odd for Dilan to be able to keep his calm.

However, there had been several signs that hinted about the existence of other races on Milarn before. In fact, Dilan was pretty sure that he had encountered a werewolf and a Vampire before already.

But upon thinking about one of the many incidents from his past, Dilan’s memories turned blurry, and it was as if some memories had been destroyed, or sealed.

Yet, the reason for Dilan to be able to keep his calm about Mayor Clerens’ identity was more of the fact that the Mayor had been injured before. A Silver Tier-1 monster had clawed at his right upper arm and torn it open.

However, everything had healed perfectly, and there was not even a sign that he had been injured gravely. This was weird, even for someone with Dilan’s regeneration. In fact, Dilan was pretty sure that Mayor Clerens’ injury had been severe, and that it would take Dilan, at least, half an hour to be healed.

Even then, there would be signs of an injury. However, Mayor Clerens was completely unscathed, which was what attracted Dilan’s interest the moment the Mayor spoke about the ‘reason’ for the Blood Legion to attack the Blue Star camp and a few other camps.

“Let’s go somewhere quiet.” Mayor Clerens suddenly advised while pointing at the small office that belonged to him.

They walked past his secretary, who looked at Mayor Cleren’s bruised neck in astonishment. The moment she saw his gleaming red eyes, she wanted to exclaim in shock but froze in her place.

“You will forget what you saw just now, and you will leave your workplace for the next two hours.” Mayor Clerens ordered in an eerie voice that he used to command others.

“Yes, I will forget what happened and take your leave.” The young female secretary said in a robotic voice before walking off.

“Quite useful,” Dilan commented, nodded his head in approval, and entered the office before Mayor Clerens could say anything.

‘He is not the slightest bit afraid, huh? Is his curiosity just higher, or is he actually a daredevil, I wonder….’ Clerens wanted to test his limits, but he could tell that Dilan would actually kill him.

Even if his regeneration was exceptional as a Vampire, he didn’t like to feel pain. It was…painful, after all…

“We have been in existence even before the Primordial Ascension. Though we were forbidden to actively interfere in the politics on Milarn. Being a Mayor, or the CEO of a big company is the most we can do. We are not allowed to reveal our identities to others.” Mayor Clerens said, before acting as if he remembered something.

“Ahhh, of course… Now it doesn’t matter anymore. I mean, what will happen if we unveil our identity? It cannot get worse than the things the Primordial Ascension did to everyone…though some things were definitely advantageous. We, Vampires, gained the ability to walk under the bright sun and be completely unaffected by it. That is definitely a great evolutionary step. As for werewolves and witches…no idea if they gained something as well.”

Dilan received lots of information from Mayor Clerens’ seemingly nonchalant revelation.

‘Vampires and other races existed before the Primordial Ascension, they were not allowed to intervene, and they gained something from the Primordial Ascension…’ Dilan summarized for himself before adding out loud,

“So Vampires and other races might reveal themselves when they feel like it, and they will strive toward their own goals, whatever they may be…and the Blood Legion…”

He was not sure how the Blood Legion could be added to this equation. In fact, Dilan couldn’t see a reason for Mayor Clerens to reveal his identity as a Vampire to him. It didn’t make any sense.

“…is filled with Vampires and their Servants!” Mayor Clerens finished Dilan’s sentence while continuing to smile.

‘So it’s like that??’ Dilan inferred, his eyes widening more and more the longer Dilan thought about it.

“And that means…you and a few other Vampires in the groups that were attacked and annihilated have something the Blood Legion wants…” He mumbled, and in response, Clerens could only clap his hands.

“Bingo! You really are a smartass!” Clerens said, revealing his fangs to Dilan.

“But in that case, why did Sheriff Jennie and Hunter Jared act like that? Did you let them in your secret, or is the secret something humans are also aware of?”

Dilan was confused but he tried to keep his mind calm. Unfortunately, that was not easy, and it got increasingly difficult when a small keychain with a single key appeared in Clerens hand.

“Well, the answer to your question…depends on your answer to my question.” He stated while playing around with the keychain.

“What question?”
