UNDYING WARLORD

Chapter 288 Head or Key



“She mercilessly slaughtered my entire family!! Don’t let that psycho enter your life, or you will die an even more miserable death than them,” Clerens was literally begging while trying to ignore the pain his body had to endure.

He was already half frozen, but his expression was still overflowing with anger as he continued to scream,

“She will eradicate your entire group, just to satiate herself at your horror!”

Dilan didn’t know anything about Clerens’ family or that Victoria had killed them but it didn’t really matter to him either.

He was rather uninterested in Clerens’ matters.

However, Victoria was of a different opinion. Her expression changed drastically, and worry gleamed in her eyes when she heard what the half-frozen Clerens said all of a sudden.

“I had a reason to kill them! They were after my blood!!” Victoria hurriedly tried to explain. She pushed Clerens away from her while turning in Dilan’s direction.

She didn’t want him to misunderstand her and approached him quickly. Reaching for his hands, she held them and looked at him with watery eyes.

“I had to kill them to protect myself. They wanted my blood to purify their own blood. Clerens’ family planned to save some of my blood to enter the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord as well! Darling, you have to trust me…” Victoria was trying her best to explain the situation to him as well as possible.

However, this was much more difficult than she had expected. Victoria had already forgotten about the family Clerens belonged to, which was why she didn’t tell Dilan about everything beforehand.

But this made it look like she was trying to come up with excuses while frantically moving her hands. This was quite difficult as she did not want to let go of Dilan’s hands, fearing that he would get angry with her.

“Calm down,” He tried to reassure her before gently freeing his hands from her grasp. Afterward, he lightly pressed her hand with his before turning his head to Clerens, who was lying on the ground half-frozen.

“If you don’t want to embarrass yourself in front of your people, how about we stop this farce? My head is already aching because of all this bullshit, I have to listen to,” Dilan suggested, extending his hand to help him get up.

Clerens tried to move but as he was half frozen this was much harder than expected. Nial released the Blazing Serpentine Blade from the storage ring. He enlarged it, and coiled the flat side of the blade around Clerens before using the Pyromancy orb to manifest small flames.

The situation was extremely humiliating, and both Kuhn and Oliver had to try hard not to laugh.

They had been a bit astonished when they looked in Clerens’ direction, and Victoria’s spontaneous response to subdue him but the tension quickly dispersed at the sight of Clerens being warmed to regulate his body temperature.

Once he was unfrozen, Dilan retracted the Serpentine Blade. He stored it away before finally helping Clerens up from the ground.

“Even if I were to kill you, and your people would try to take revenge, they would only die a needless death. So get your act together,” Dilan declared while showing Clerens that quite a few Soldiers had already come out of the base to take a look at what was going on.

They hadn’t seen Clerens’ eyes, fangs, or claws but what all of them had witnessed clearly was that Victoria had attacked Clerens.

If not for Dilan, they would have definitely intervened. For a moment, they hesitated to reconsider what they wanted to do because Dilan was also present.

Nobody was strong enough to face him head-on, and everyone knew that Dilan would kill them the moment they targeted him with their killing intent.

“Okay, okay, I have calmed down…” Clerens said and raised his arms despite being still agitated. Dilan didn’t bother about Clerens’ emotions and if he felt wronged.

They entered the Blue Star camp under the scrutinizing gazes of many Ascenders. It was easy to sense the hostility between the most beautiful woman they had ever seen and Clerens.

Their relationship was definitely not rocky, but they could also see that the woman was clinging to Dilan’s arm. She looked at Dilan in a pitiful manner, melting the hearts of all the men around her and also making them feel a bit jealous.

“If I could have a woman like her, I would do it with her every single day! What a shame…” One Ascender stated in a voice clear enough for everyone around them to hear.

Dilan and the others heard that man as well and almost as if Victoria wanted to respond to him, she pulled Dilan closer to her.

His arm was squeezed between her bosom as she moved closer to his head and whispered in his ear,

“See, others would do it with me every day. How about we do that?~”

Victoria licked her lip seductively as she smelled Dilan’s warm blood. She wanted to take another bite and pounce upon him right at this moment.

But in the end, she could hold herself back as she saw Dilan’s reaction.

Now was not the time for her to behave like this, and neither were they at the right place.

“Darling, calm down,” Victoria quickly said and released Dilan from her grasp.

Dilan responded with a faint smile but he didn’t say anything as he followed Clerens.

“Don’t worry girl, he is always a little bit…cold and distant. You will learn to understand this,” Ailee said, gently slapping on her back when she saw Victoria’s smile disappear.

In the three hours in which they drove through the Shikan plains, the two women got to know each other. They were far from becoming best friends, but Ailee liked Victoria.

She was a nice woman. A bit crazy, but nice nonetheless.

All of them were now inside the office that was cramped with Clerens, Dilan, and the six others, who merely looked at each other.

“Soo, can I get the Sanctum Keys?” Clerens asked, eyeing Dilan and Victoria.

He was not sure how much Victoria told Dilan about the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord but he had expected the worst. The entire situation had blown out of proportions because Victoria had suddenly appeared.

Clerens had not even known that she was still alive. He could have sworn that the new Vampire Lord would have attempted to kill her more than a few times and finally succeeded.

But seeing her right in front of him clearly meant that he had failed while she was still alive, and kicking. Furthermore, she seemed quite powerful.

Clerens didn’t like this. He was frustrated and felt like destroying his entire office.

But he maintained a calm expression as he awaited Dilan’s answer.

“How about you give me your Sanctum key instead? Our goal will be the same, either way,” Dilan said, holding out his hand before motioning in a demanding way.

He smiled innocently but everyone could tell that he was mocking Clerens.

“As long as the Sanctum is not too far away from here, we can take a look, you can go inside and I will just test how dangerous it is. You won’t need to sacrifice me or my blood because we have Victoria here, as well,” Dilan sounded calm as he spoke but the words he said were a clear sign that he knew what Clerens had planned.

“So if I don’t want to die, I have to give you my Sanctum key?” Clerens asked, clenching his fist so hard that his knuckles turned white and blood trickled to the ground.

Dolan nodded his head calmly and gave him a choice, an easy one in his opinion.

“It’s either your head or the Sanctum key.”
