Undying Warlord

Chapter 184 Inhuman? Invincible?

“Oh my…god..”

“What the hell”

“He…is still human…right?”

Even if they had been told to leave, Dilan’s fight had ended even before all Ascenders had been able to pack up their stuff.

After seeing his performance, Kathrine and Ailee felt embarrassed about their offer to help Dilan in the fight against the powerful two-headed lizards.

‘Couldn’t he have said that he will be able to take care of them in an instant?’ Kathrine grumbled to herself.

However, she clearly recalled that Dilan had tried to tell her that there was no need for him to receive any help.

It was just that Kathrine had not quite understood him because she had been too worried.

Meanwhile, Williams and the others looked at Dilan in fear, admiration, and as if they were standing next to a real God…The God of War and Slaughter…

Everyone looked at Dilan as if he was an inhuman existence but the young man didn’t notice that at all.

He was breathing heavily and took a batch of mana replenishment vials out of the Penta Item Pouch before swallowing the sweet liquid in one go.

After he downed more than 10 vials, Nial felt a little bit better. He used [Regeneration] over and over again but the sensation of his Life force having been drained was still apparent in his mind._-.

‘I wonder if I’ll ever get accustomed to this weird feeling…’

It was unbearably painful whenever his Life force was drained. Not even injuring himself severely to upgrade his Origin ability was that painful.

To add on, it required a mere thought to activate the Special Trait [Bearer of Pain], and it didn’t even count as a severe injury if his Health stat reached a dangerous level whenever his Life force was drained from him.

Dilan didn’t understand why this was the case but he couldn’t care less about it right now.

He approached the three monsters and began to search through the serpent’s brains in order to find their Essence crystal.

However, before he found anything, Dilan’s attention was quickly drawn to the spot right below the spot where the necks of the two serpent heads branched out. Right in the center of this spot which was below the joints of their necks and on the monster’s chest, Dilan could clearly sense something.

He quickly pierced through the said spot with the longsword-form of the Blazing Serpentine Blade.

‘That destroys my theory that the Essence crystals of all monsters are in their brains.’

Dilan had pierced the monster’s heart, pulled it out, and found a Golden Tier-1 Essence crystal within its body.

Like the first, the two remaining corpses also had their Essence crystal within their hearts, which was how Dilan ended up with a total of 3 Golden Tier-1 Essence crystals in his hands.

“Gold…so these monsters underwent three blood enhancements? Or was it blood evolutions?”

Dilan tried to use the knowledge he had received from Priestess Brashta in order to determine the truth behind the color and purity of Essence crystals.

However, he quickly abandoned this thought and decided to let the future tell him more about this new theory. He didn’t want to worry too much about something that might not even be worth being worried about.

Thus, he absorbed the three Gold Tier-1 Essence crystals that crumbled in his hand a moment later.

[3 <Gold> Inferior Two-headed Hydrani Tier-1 (Level 8) have been absorbed?+1.9 Health, +0.9 Stamina, +1.2 Mana]

[Essence pool has been filled. Host reached Level 5(Tier-1)! +1.0 Status points can be allocated!]

It had been quite some time since Dilan received that many status points by absorbing Essence crystals. It was a great feeling and clearly indicated that the Inferior Two-headed Hydrani must have been extremely powerful.

Without his surprise attack, his suicidal combination of abilities which Dilan had used to increase his prowess drastically, followed by the mana slash, it would have been quite difficult for Dilan to overwhelm the three Gold Tier-1 monsters.

And then, there was still the modified Blazing Serpentine Blade, which had followed the exact same trajectory as the Mana slash,

In some situations, it might be nice to have a fair fight, head-on against powerful opponents but Dilan was quite satisfied with the fight he had just won.

“Dodos and some Hydrani, or whatever type of inferior Hydra they’re… Does their appearance mean that a dangerous permanent Gate emerged on the Shikan plains, or was it just a temporary Gate?? I found two temporary Gates in Rian as well. Is their number slowly increasing or was it just a coincidence for me to encounter two temporary Gates before?”

The number of mythical beasts in Rian was certainly not low, and the same could be said about their numbers on the Shikan plains.

However, so far, Dilan had not faced many mythical beasts that had been on par with the Blue Tiger.

The Inferior Two-headed Hydrani should have been slightly stronger than the Blue Tiger if he was not mistaken, which was why he started contemplating in his mind.

‘We’re already giving our best to improve faster. Is it still not enough? Do we have to change our plan?’

Dilan was not sure about the truth, and it was not as if he could force his people to do even more than they were already doing.

Thus, he stored the corpses of the Three Gold Tier-1 monsters away before returning to his group.

They had yet to leave and now that his fight was over, they decided to wait for him.

Dilan had not expected his fight to end so quickly as well, which was why he was glad for them to have waited for him, even if it was not what he had ordered them to do before.

He was a little bit exhausted but he could still endure it.

Without minding the gazes that were fixated on him, Dilan merely smiled as he stepped forward.

“Let’s return to the hospital. We have to be fully prepared for tomorrow and the following week!”

His voice was not loud but everyone heard Dilan. A moment later, thundering roars emerged from the usually quiet group of Ascenders.

“Yes, Boss!”

“You’re right, Leader!”

“We won’t disappoint you, Boss!!”

“As long as you’re by our side we will be invincible!”

Dilan twitched the moment he heard all of their shouts but he didn’t say anything about it.

He was simply too tired to raise his voice, let alone to act in a domineering manner.

Sven and the others could focus on quieting down the Ascenders to prevent some powerful monsters from getting wind of their group’s whereabouts.

Or at least, that would have been important if any powerful monster was still in their proximity, let alone bold enough to attack Dilan and his group…

With their exhilarated mood, nobody felt like sleeping or resting even after they had come back to the hospital.

Everyone ate their fill, while excitedly gossiping about the events of the day.

The Ascenders, who had been hunting with Dilan bragged about the increase in their strength, their level-ups, and most importantly, about Dilan’s strength.

In the beginning, they didn’t speak about Dilan’s last fight. They merely bragged about how easily Dilan defeated his opponents and that he supported them in every possible way.

They watered down the story and his fight, which was why some of the newer Survivors started to believe that Dilan was a powerful Scholar.

However, that image was shattered the moment the Elite Ascenders began to brag about Dilan’s achievement as he killed the three Inferior Two-headed Hydrani.

Even if none of them knew that these three monsters had been Gold Tier-1 monsters, this was not the important part of the story.

Rather, it was the strength Dilan had exhibited when killing the three monsters with a single set of powerful attacks!

Until late at night, the Ascenders kept bragging about Dilan, slowly etching a specific thought in the minds of all the survivors of Dilan’s group.

-Everything would be fine as long as Dilan was by their side, nobody could lay a hand on them!-
