UNDYING WARLORD

After dinner was over, a few new Survivors volunteered to wash the dishes.

It looked like almost everyone was willing to help, and show their gratitude.

They wanted to demonstrate that they were useful and that it would be bad to exile them from the group.

Dilan had never planned to do something like that. Nevertheless, it was great to see that everyone gave their best.

Because of that, he forgot about Leon for the time being.

There was simply too much on his plate, which made things quite difficult if he were to be honest.

Today had been quite exhausting, and tomorrow didn’t show any signs of being any better, even if it would only mean mentally exhaustion, if not physical. Knowing that Dilan chose to sleep.

Yet, the moment he was about to close his eyes, his eyes fell on Leon, who was stealing glances at the same woman as before.

‘Why are you so eager to get beaten up? I really want to sleep…’ Dilan almost blurted out.

However, he kept quiet and decided to stay awake. His gut feeling told him that something would happen and that he would have to create a vivid example of what would happen to those who break his rules.

Dilan wanted to be known as a generous man to the people who obeyed him, while cruel to all his enemies, those who betrayed him, and those who didn’t respect his authority!

This was the simplest way to lead a group, instill fear about his punishments, as well as reward handsomely to all those who obeyed his rules.

At least that was what Dilan presumed because it made sense. Humans usually liked being given specific rules because it meant that their lives would be easy as long as they followed these rules.

Of course, Dilan knew that this was not the case with all humans, but that was especially why he had set up the rules, and now thinking of a unique way to make an example of Leon._-.

But, Leon seemed to be too eager to become his next target and this whole making an eventful and even more impactful example seemed to happen much sooner than he had expected.

After all, Leon was rather impatient, which was why he went over to the side of the room that was reserved for women.

It was obvious where he was headed to, which was why Dilan got up from the ground as silently as possible.

Almost the entire cafeteria was dark. As such, Dilan had to be careful while making his way through the room.

He nearly tripped over Oliver, who was sleeping soundly.

But after some time, he made his way towards the area where the women were currently sleeping.

In the meantime, Leon had already found his way toward the woman he had been looking for.

It was quite easily achieved by him. After all, he was able to sense the objects and living beings two meters around him, with ease.

That was what his passive ability [Miniature Radar] allowed him!

Dilan didn’t have this, but he was still able to find his way through the cafeteria by following the muffled screams of someone who was desperately trying to move and escape the clutches of Leon.

While Dilan slowly neared Leon from behind, Leon had forcibly put a hand on the young woman’s mouth, while restricting her movements.

She was still too weak owing to the incidents that had happened during the last few days. But the woman’s bad condition was not the only reason for her being unable to escape Leon’s grasp. He was simply too stronger!

After all, she was giving her all, and fighting desperately against being taken by force.

There were still some unknown powers within the woman, who didn’t want to relive the same nightmare she had just escaped.

Even death was better than that!!

As such, she was trying hard to wriggle out of Leon’s grasp which had become evenstronger.

‘Good job woman, you are really a fierce one!’ Dilan could only think. He respected the woman for how much she fought against Leon, not giving up even though she had already faced the very same situation before.

And before it had been even worse than now.

That simply meant the woman had yet to give up on herself.

However, just when Dilan was about to reach out for Leon’s neck, Dilan noticed something he had yet to realize.

‘Wait…is he one of my Ascenders?!’

Realization struck him all of a sudden. He had forgotten about Leon, but now that he thought about it, there had been a reason why he recalled the young man’s name.

Leon was one of the Ascenders that had joined the group of fighters not too long ago.

As such, his level was not all that high. But even then, Leon’s strength was more than enough to hold down a feeble and weak woman!

Understanding that Leon was one of the fighters he had been a bit proud of initially, Dilan frowned deeply before reaching out with his hand.

In an instant, he had gotten hold of Leon’s head, and his fingers tightly wove around his hair.

Just a moment later, he pulled back the young man forcefully, who screamed out in pain.

Dilan didn’t hold back in using his Strength at all. Through this, he nearly ripped a few strands of Leon’s hair out.

But that was not something he could be bothered about.

After all, Leon’s scalp was the least Leon should be worried about right now.

Followed by the outcry of pain, Leon tried to move around, and fight against the powerful man, who had gotten hold of him.

However, the moment he saw Dilan and his ice-cold eyes, the young man froze in place.

Meanwhile, the young and beautiful woman realized that she was free and screamed loudly, panic and fear clearly evident in her voice.

It was her first and final scream for help.

And this scream reverberated through the entire cafeteria, waking up everyone. The women near the crime scene flinched before jumping up from their mattresses hastily. They saw Leon, who was trying to get hold of the woman’s mouth.

Their gaze averted to Dilan, whose cold eyes caused shivers to run down the women’s spines.

Seeing that Leon was still trying to get hold of the woman, Dilan was filled with rage.

In one swift move, Dilan lifted Leon in the air, still holding him by his hair, letting his nails scratch his scalp. The young man howled in pain as everyone clearly saw Dilan and Leon, who was screaming in pain as Dilan dragged him away from the sleeping space of the woman.

It was shocking to see the two young men fighting in the dead of the night.

However, not a single survivor thought that Dilan was the one to have broken the rules he had set up not too long ago and walked into the women’s sleeping space.

After all, one had to be blind not to see Dilan’s ice-cold eyes that were filled with anger, followed by the fact that he was holding Leon by his hair, dragging him over to the center of the room.

Everyone was now wide awake, and several dozen flashlights followed Dilan, just for a few women to focus on the beautiful woman, who had narrowly escaped being raped.

She was shivering, and barely able to pay attention to what Dilan was about to do.

“Sorry for waking up all of you, but this slime of a human being just tried to **** someone. Just a few hours ago I said that I won’t allow anyone to do something stupid such as violating someone, didn’t I?”

Dilan didn’t even smile anymore. His expression was dead-serious as he looked at Leon, whose eyes were filled with tears.

His facial expression was filled with fear and pain, but Dilan ignored his pleas as he coldly added,

“I gave out the last warning not too long ago, and I believe that I was patient enough with everyone. So…he will have to die!”

Saying so, he pushed the young man, whom he was holding tightly, right in front of him.

Leon fell on his knees because his shivering legs couldn’t support his weight anymore, and he was just about to plead for mercy, that he would never do something as stupid as trying to **** someone, and that he could do better.

However, Dilan’s eyes and expression clearly indicated that Leon had run out of chances. Even if the others hadn’t heard each word he said clearly, it was not difficult to figure out what he wanted to do!

The blade of the Captain’s sword gleamed in the beams of the flashlights which he stared at for a while before adding,

“I would have said rest in peace, but I don’t really think that you deserve to rest in peace! So just fuck off and have fun in hell, or whatever comes once life ends!”

There was no need for Dilan to even say a word. However, oddly enough he felt that it was necessary to clearly show his disgust for every single person, who dared to **** women.

The others should understand that he had a zero-tolerance policy in this regard.

To emphasize his point, Dilan raised the Captain’s Sword high in the air.

The glint of the longword’s blade dazzled everyone for a second before it cut through the wind and they heard the sound of the blade tearing into the skin.

Afterward, the sight of Dilan and Leon was unveiled once again. Dilan towered over Leon, the Captain’s Sword dyed in red.

Blood trickled down the ground, while Dilan’s gaze rested on the headless body that slumped to the ground.

Merely a moment after the sword had slashed through Leon’s skin, a fountain of blood spurted through the surrounding, followed by a head that fell to the ground…

Many Survivors sucked in their breaths when they saw a murder happen right in front of them.

Meanwhile, those that didn’t gasp for air, couldn’t help but stare at Dilan and the headless corpse for several seconds.

Everyone was shocked beyond any measurement and they were so stunned that nobody made a sound.

They had just gone to sleep after the best dinner they had had since the Primordial Ascension had occurred, and now, not even five hours later one of their own people had been beheaded right in front of them!

By no one other than their very own leader!

This was shocking, to put it simply, and fear crept up to within almost every single Survivor, only for the women that had been mistreated, raped, and tortured until not long ago to start crying again.

Even if the sight of a beheaded corpse was scary, the fact that Dilan protected one of them was far more impactful for them than anything else.

In that moment, Dilan had imprinted upon everyone the seriousness of his rules.

They all understood that Dilan was not only kind, or cruel, but also that he was intolerant to rulebreaking and that he would never accept anyone messing up with his people!
