UNDYING WARLORD

Several arrows coated in fire hailed down from the sky. They rained down on the oblivious bloodthirsty Ascenders and the Vampires’ servants. Most arrows hit their target and pierced through their body before burning them from the inside out.

Screams of pain and horror reverberated through the surroundings, followed by the smell of burned flesh that filled the air.

However, the arrows were just the beginning and an appetizer to show that Dilan was not alone. He had colleagues by his side, who worked in the shadows!

Controlling a batch of more than a dozen daggers at once, Williams controlled them precisely using his [Psychokinesis] ability to throw them high in the air.

Flying in a perfect curve, they followed the trajectory of the arrows. They flew through the air and rained down on the scared Ascenders and Vampire servants.

While trying to evade the attacks, some of them ran into each other, some pushed their comrades aside, and others manifested their defensive abilities.

But what they didn’t expect was that the daggers exploded, releasing blazing flames that expanded at a terrifyingly fast pace.

In a radius of five meters of the position of impact, everything was burned. Dozens of humans were burning, screaming at the top of their lungs, and feeling unbearable pain.

However, Williams’ first attack wave had also hit Vampires, who were burning. They tried to extinguish the flames and tore out their flesh if necessary, just to prevent turning into a living torch.

Dilan looked at this with an interesting expression. He had just evaded Goliath’s terrifying strike that created a large crater around them.

Goliath noticed that Dilan was distracted, which was why he issued another attack. He kicked out with his leg without intending to hit Dilan. Instead, it was the wind pressure that was supposed to hit Dilan, distract him, and bring him out of balance.

Goliath followed up by approaching Dilan rapidly before a batch of several powerful kicks impacted on Dilan.

The cut off arm of Goliath was slowly healing. It would probably take a few minutes before the arm was fully healed.

‘It’s way too fast. Just how high is their natural regeneration?’ Dilan thought with a frown on his face. He was not even sure if he could regrow his arm with his Origin ability, yet, the Vampire did so naturally.

Dilan was quite jealous of this ability because it allowed Goliath to fight more recklessly than one would usually do with one’s safety in their mind.

However, Dilan didn’t think about safety right now. He activated [Aegis’ shield] with the lowest possible amount of mana used to block Goliath’s attack.

The blueish shield manifested in front of him, just to break a moment later under the tremendous force Goliath’s attack held.

But Dilan had already disappeared from his location. His body leaned a bit, and he dashed forward. Twisting his body in an uncomfortable angle, Dilan could look straight up at Goliath’s body.

The CrimsonClaw dagger in his left hand began to glow brightly and with a slash upward, Dilan cut straight through the Vampire’s leg and hip.

Blood spurted in Dilan’s face but the attack was not yet done. A faint smile covered his face as Dilan released the [Mana Slash] he had prepared beforehand, using more than 15 Units of Mana.

The [Mana Slash] used with 15 Mana units wasn’t enough to lethally injure Goliath. But when Dilan released the Mana Slash the moment the CrimsonClaw dagger pierced inside the Vampire’s flesh, the strongest defense of the Vampire’s body had already been penetrated; their skin.

Without much resistance, the Mana slash was released inside the Vampire’s body. It wreaked havoc, cut through his flash and several organs before it was slowed down at the Vampire’s ribs.

Dilan sneered when he noticed that his attack was not enough to cut through the entire Vampire form from top to bottom but it was not as if the fight was over yet.

Goliath coughed up blood, and he could hardly breathe because of the pain and the damage Dilan’s attack had caused, but he was not dead.

Dilan averted his attention from Goliath once again, while leaning against the big Vampire’s body with a calm expression.

The Vampire continued to cough up blood, and many others looked at the situation in front of them in shock.

They were not sure whether to look at the volleys of burning arrows, the explosive daggers, or in Dilan’s direction.

It was obvious that Dilan had the situation under control, and he dared to act arrogantly enough not to kill Goliath directly as well.

In fact, Dilan looked straight at the explosive daggers with a faint smile on his face.

“You know, these blazing Molotov daggers are one of our blacksmith’s newest creations. Williams is a really stubborn man. He complained about the lethal power of his attacks because his only truly powerful ability is to control objects around him.

“This ability is not strong without any objects to fight with, which is why he complained about the strength of Old Jeff’s forged goods. Williams needs to dispose of the goods because Bronze Tier-1 weapons are not exactly useful for him. After all, he cannot fight Gold Tier-1 monsters like this, even if his Psychokinesis ability allows him to trick around a bit.

“He is always looking for new weapons, but look at this. The lethality of the blazing Molotov daggers is great, isn’t it? To think that Williams and Old Jeff tried to hide their existence from me to surprise me one day…do they think I’m a little child, who gets excited easily?” Dilan asked a lot without caring who listened to him.

He was just excited about the attack force Williams, Ailee, and Kuhn could combine.

Kuhn was the Pryomant in their group, and even though he was also great at fighting close combat, his forte was the control over fire. His current job was quite easy. He was supposed to learn how terrifying a battlefield was, understand what awaited him and everyone else in the future, and most importantly, ignite Ailee’s arrows, and shoot fireballs at his opponents.

But Dilan did not only bring long-range Ascenders with him. That would be way too boring and it wouldn’t help Dilan’s group at all. He needed people, who could tell others about their experience on a bloody battlefield, where they fought against fellow humans.

It was necessary for others to understand that their life would be on the line the moment they stepped onto the battlefield and that everything could happen. Fighting monsters, humans, and other races was different. Each had its different difficulties, advantages, and disadvantages.

While Kuhn was supposed to speak about his first experience on the battlefield to other Elementalists, Silas was supposed to do the same to his fellow melee-fighters.

Oliver was exactly the same and Williams ought to pay attention to everyone’s mental health as he was the [Great Mentalist] which was ironic.

However, nobody could lie to him without being detected, which made things much easier as he could send the troubled Ascenders to their group’s psychologist.

Dilan was working towards the big picture. He was preparing everyone for a big war, something that was supposed to happen in the future.

It was an inevitable event that war would break out but the only problem was that Dilan didn’t know who would be on his side.

Who was his enemy in this war? Humans, Vampires, the Ligrav and Rasnian race? It could be all of them, a few of them, or none at all.

Maybe everyone would die before they could even face him head-on?

Life was unpredictable, and it was not as if he could find out what would happen in the future.

He only knew that the present was something he could tell about, and it was something he could control as long as he had enough power.

And he wanted his people to have enough power to control their own present and to be ready for everything that would be thrown at them!
