UNDYING WARLORD

Chapter 265 Sanctum



“What question?” Dilan was intrigued.

All this talk about ‘Supernatural existed before the Primordial Ascension’ was hard to digest, but oddly enough Dilan was not very affected by it.

Of course, he was astonished but he accepted it with relative ease.

He looked deep into the Vampire’s red glowing eyes, ignoring the intimidating sensation they generated.

“I need you to help me with something. Will that be possible?” Mayor Clerens asked straightforwardly. He knew that Dilan was much stronger than him and many others. There were a few things Vampires couldn’t do.

They might have advantages over others including a stronger body, the ability to regenerate rapidly, and to control the mind of others, but humans still had a few advantages.

And that was why he needed Dilan.

“If I know what it is, I might be able to help you. But don’t expect me to help you for free. If there is nothing for me to gain, I will leave, destroy the Blood Legion and return to my home after leaving behind everything that could leave traces behind for more Vampires to follow me.

Maybe, I will destroy everything, including the things they reclaimed from the vampires, who had been with the other groups of human survivors.” Dilan’s voice was calm, but his eyes clearly showed that he was ready to fight. He was not someone who was known for holding back. If it was necessary, he would crush everyone below him, even if they were stronger than him.

David won against Goliath as well, and Dilan was confident to achieve the same if it was necessary!

“I really like you, kiddo.” Mayor Clerens admitted unexpectedly.

‘Kiddo, fuck off!’ Dilan just thought in his mind but did not say anything.

‘Well he is probably a lot older than he looks like, so I’m probably just a baby to him.’

“To be honest, I cannot promise that you will gain a lot if you help me. But I can tell you that defeating the Blood Legion will be a little bit more difficult than you expect.

Killing the group of Vampires and their servants won’t be that easy. After all, their regeneration is extremely high.” Mayor Clerens was honest with Dilan. This was something he thought very highly about.

“But what about the bloodthirsty Ascenders then? They were normal humans.” Dilan immediately asked in return while trying to figure out what the bloodthirsty Ascenders had to do with the Vampires and their servants.

“Ah, them? They’re their cattle, and meatshields that can be discarded for some suicidal tasks.” Clerens waved off his hand. He seemed completely unbothered right now and acted as if everything was perfectly normal.

Dilan just lifted his eyebrow when he noticed that the Vampire’s entire demeanor had changed after he revealed his identity.

Clerens lifted one of the pouches the bloodthirsty Ascenders had thrown over the fence of the Blue Star camp.

“The pouches from before were filled with blood-smeared cloth. It had been smeared by the blood of a noble Vampire. It attracts all types of monsters, which can be quite helpful to make perfect traps and kill them easily. Acquiring Essence crystals, leveling up, and increasing stats won’t be difficult if we do that.

However, I doubt that you are interested in these pouches, right?” Clerens smiled schemingly as if he had planned something big.

The keychain to which only a single and very old-looking key was attached dangled in front of Dilan’s eye once again.

“This is what you’re interested in!” He said, showing his fangs while he continued to smile.

‘I feel like beating him up…’ Dilan thought in frustration before he sighed deeply.

“Can’t you just come to the point? I mean, I understand that you want to increase the tension and make me feel overwhelmed, but please state facts, one after another without jumping from Topic A to Topic C, then back to Topic B.” Dilan said in an exasperated voice.

“I mean, how am I even supposed to understand anything if you act like this?”

Clerens was a little bit dumbfounded. He thought that he was doing Dilan a favor by acting like this. The adventurous spirit of the young man should have been awoken, but Dilan looked and sounded exhausted from this mess.

“Well…yeah, I can…I can just talk about the important points if you want…” Clerens said, his expression dimming down as if all his joy had been taken from him.

“Thanks.”

Dilan was merciless and he didn’t really care what Clerens did. He should focus on the most important things. After all, he could not afford to waste his time and spend years collecting useless information. Dilan was just a human and not some sort of never-aging Vampire. Time was a luxury he could not afford.

Clearing his throat, Clerens tried to calm his mind before he started to reveal the things Dilan was probably interested in.

“This key belongs to a keychain with five keys. These five keys were given to five noble families of Vampires, who have been living in the Shikan plains for millennia. All five keys are needed to enter the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord.” Clerens waited for a few seconds after revealing these new pieces of information to allow Dilan to digest everything.

Afterward, he continued again,

“The Blood Legion has Noble Vampires amongst them, but they were not supposed to possess one of the Sanctum’s keys. Nobody was allowed to enter the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord, and the five noble families, who were bearers of the keys, were never supposed to change.

However, things changed after the Primordial Ascension and the Blood Legion got their hands on four of the five keys to the Sanctum.”

Clerens’ explanation, if one could call it such, was much better than before, and Dilan nodded his head repetitively.

“So your plan is to defeat the Blood Legion, get the remaining four keys, and enter the Sanctum to the Old Vampire Lord by yourself? That is the favor you need me for? To defeat the Blood Legion?” Dilan threw one question after another in succession as his interest had been piqued.

There were a few things he had yet to figure out, but Dilan was definitely excited to fight some Vampires!

His entire body was already itching for a fight, and adrenaline coursed through his body.

“Exactly, and I want your help to enter the Sanctum, and inside it as well! You should be as strong as some of the Noble Vampires after reaching Tier-1. Sooo, what do you think about it? Are you interested?” Clerens’ eyes were glowing brighter than before.

Dilan understood him perfectly, and it was as if he had found the perfect partner in crime.

He seems to be excited as well. His excitement should influence Dilan, but he merely nodded his head, as if he was thinking about something.

“You spoke about Noble Vampires several times by now, what are they even?” Dilan enquired, ignoring Clerens’ question completely.

“Huh? That…is the most important thing for you to figure out right now?” The Vampire asked in a disbelieving voice. He was blinking his eyes rapidly and felt stupefied.

‘Maybe…just maybe…did I pick up an idiot?’
