UNDYING WARLORD

“Why are all of them looking at us as if we were their arch enemies?” Kuhn, an 18-year-old young man asked while breathing heavily.

He was out of breath and was trying to replenish his Stamina as quickly as possible. However, Williams, Oliver, and Ailee were simply too impatient. They didn’t allow him and Silas to rest for long before they pushed them ahead.

It was because of their impatience that they arrived at the Blue Star camp at lunch the morning after Dilan asked Bianne to call them over.

In a matter of hours, everyone mentioned by Dilan had come together. Despite being confused about the odd selection of members of the group, they finished their preparations before coming together.

Dilan had heard the commotion when a few soldiers spoke about a group of five Ascenders approaching and entering the Blue Star camp.

He disappeared from his room and appeared in front of his people seconds later.

“Took you guys quite a while,” Dilan said before waving his hand to tell his people to follow him.

“Did you do something to the people of the Blue Star camp? Do they dislike us because of you?” Silas, a 25-year-old young man suddenly questioned. He was quite perceptive and could tell that the Soldier’s gaze that was fixated on Dilan was even worse than the combined killing intent that lingered on the small group of five newcomers.

His long black hair was tied in a ponytail, allowing his dark eyes that moved tirelessly to observe everything intently, taking in as much information as possible.

“It’s probably because they found out that you are the one, who killed their soldiers, the batch, who tried to **** Marie, right?” Ailee questioned in a calm manner. She was more interested in the Blood Legion than the Blue Star camp.

“Yeah, you could say so. I also killed some other humans, and they probably think I’m disgusting or so. But that’s not important.” Dilan shrugged off her concern, acting as if what he just said was not important before he continued,

“We should go to my room, I will explain the situation. But before that…are the five of you ready to kill other humans?”

It seemed as if Dilan spoke in a nonchalant manner, but Silas noticed that Dilan’s eyes were trained on the body language of the group of five to pick up their real reaction.

Ailee didn’t even flinch, the corner of Oliver’s lip twitched, while Kuhn’s entire body trembled.

Silas’ hand trembled and his eyes widened a bit, but he had his body under great control.

On the other hand, Williams’ reaction was similar to Ailee’s. All of them knew that they would have to kill humans because Dilan clearly stated that they would attack the Blood Legion.

Thus, Williams’ heart and mind were already fully prepared. Both Kuhn and Silas were rather young and inexperienced. The first humans, who died in front of them, had been a batch of soldiers, and traitors of their own group.

‘It was definitely time for them to learn more about the cruelty of the world, even more so about the dangers of evil Ascenders.’ The reason for Dilan to take Kuhn and Silas with him to attack the Blood Legion had been simple.

Both had powerful abilities, and they were strong. It was possible for both of them to wield the ordinary Bronze Tier-1 Serpentine Blade in a very precise manner. This showed how great their mana control was as well.

Even their occupations were powerful. Thus, Dilan wanted to nurture them, and turn them into the first batch of young Ascenders, who would learn how to overcome the hesitation of killing their own kind.

Williams was supposed to teach the Elite Combat Unit that it would become a necessity to be able to kill humans in the future. Dilan knew that there would be more than enough times, where they would have to face Evil Ascenders, or groups, who treated their Survivors extremely badly.

In these situations, it would be for the best when Dilan’s people would be able to kill their opponents. The moment they faced a human, it would be difficult for most to fight properly, with their whole strength at that.

However, this shouldn’t happen because it would decrease their combat prowess because they would show signs of hesitation in killing their own kind.

Looking in the eyes of a human while piercing a razor-sharp blade through their stomach, and slowly seeing life leave their eyes was completely different from killing a ferocious monster that could kill you at any time.

It was impossible to reason with monsters, while humans could be talked to. That was, at least, what some would believe, which was why they would hesitate to deliver the final blow.

Dangerous times were coming, and Dilan wanted to prepare his group for it as well as possible.

They had walked past many Survivors, Soldiers, and even Mayor Clerens, who was smiling brightly at the sight of the five Ascenders behind Dilan.

‘Their strength….hmmm, only one of them should be on par with me. Oh…this girl.’ Clerens had scanned through the group of five before determining that Silas and Kuhn were the weakest in their group, but it was possible to sense that they were merely inexperienced, and not actually weak.

Oliver was above average, but that was already it. Clerens was not interested in the young man.

As for Williams, he was powerful, and possibly as strong as he was. However, Clerens could also tell that he would survive while Williams would die if they were to fight a battle of life and death.

Meanwhile, Ailee was someone he couldn’t guess anything about. She was interesting, and her movements were basically screaming ‘murder’. Her steps were silent, and she could reach for her bow and arrows in the blink of an eye.

‘She is worth being nurtured. If I turn her, she would definitely make it big…’ Clerens licked his lips, but even before he could do something, Dilan’s ice-cold glare that targeted him all of a sudden, caused shivers to run down his spine.

‘Yeah…well…maybe I should forget that for the time being…well maybe longer than just for the time being…’ Clerens turned his head away and moved in the opposite direction of Dilan, acting as if he had something important to do.

Only when Dilan’s eyes turned away from Clerens did his expression ease up again.

“That cannot go on. I need to do something against Dilan, otherwise, I can give up on entering the inner ring of the Sanctum, even if I get my hands on the five Sanctum keys…” Clerens bit his lower lip, and his hands were tightly clenched. His claws enlarged and blood trickled to the ground, but not many looked in his direction.

Only one pair of eyes looked in Clerens’ direction. It was Felia, whose eyes widened when she got a glimpse of something.

‘Did his eyes turn red? I must be imagining things…’ Felia felt a sudden headache overcoming her, and everything seemed to make sense all of a sudden.

‘I’m just overworked…yes…that’s it. It would be weird for someone’s eye color to change all of a sudden. I’m so silly…hahaha’ Felia squirmed in pain and she held her head.

Dilan and the others had disappeared into his room, at the same time, where he shared the most important information.

A few minutes of silence passed after Dilan had revealed the shocking news, and it was only when Ailee’s expression faltered that she began to speak out about the doubts lingering on everyone’s minds.

“Are you serious? Vampires? That sounds like a fairy tale….a pretty bad one!!” Ailee exclaimed.

“Vampires lived on Milarn even before the Primordial Ascension occurred? That is so cool!!” Oliver shouted out in excitement, only to be smacked on the back of his head by Ailee, who glared at him.

“The Blood Legion…several noble Vampires, maybe a hundred ‘ordinary’ Vampires, and more than a thousand human servants and bloodthirsty Ascenders…how troublesome…” Williams could only think while trying not to sound too surprised.

“And…we are supposed to fight these bloodsuckers?” Kuhn was stuttering in disbelief, while Silas shook his head in disbelief.

“What the hell…this is insane…”
