Undying Warlord

Chapter 235 Weak Stamina

Dilan didn’t know what was going on, and before he could enquire further, Yvonne had already picked him up.

‘She doesn’t like touching men, so what is so important for her to be able to ignore her trauma and pick me?’ Dilan wondered.

Sensing that Yvonne had something important she needed him for, Dilan remained silent. It didn’t take long before she landed on the ground once again.

Yvonne let go of him and stepped next to Kathrine, whom he saw throw him a hesitant look.

“What is going on?” He finally asked, while his head turned to the side to take a look at the Gate. The Gate was located right next to the sisters, and they looked at him with anticipation.

[Temporary Gate to (Wild Varan Oceanside). Requirements to enter are not met! -All Stats- 45]

Dilan was slightly confused about why Yvonne had brought him to a Temporary Gate, and he stared at her sister while awaiting their answer.

However, instead of saying something, Kathrine quietly handed him the parchment with the recipe of the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>.

“Kathrine got this from this temporary Gate.” Yvonne suddenly said, while Dilan quickly read through its content.

“That is amazing. If we can manage to mass-produce this potion, everyone’s survival ability will skyrocket. For new Ascenders, this would be even more important.

You said that you got it from that Gate?” Dilan’s expression lit up the more he thought about the potential of the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>.

The ingredients that were required to concoct the potion were extremely expensive and close to 100 Ascenders would reach Tier-1 with the resources required for one potion._.

However, these Ascenders would merely be able to advance to Tier-1 with a Common occupation.

On the contrary, if they were to use the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>, the Ascenders could gain lots of experience by themselves, and potentially unlock occupations of higher quality without facing many dangers.

But that was not everything. Items could be considered of more use for low-leveled Ascenders, rather than wasting precious resources to produce the Potion of Enhancement for them. Their status points could increase rapidly, after all.

However, the same didn’t apply to people like Dilan, and the other high-leveled Tier-1 Ascenders.

Their stats increased at a snail’s pace, especially for Dilan. Thus, the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness> would be best for them.

“Yeah, I got it from this Gate, but both of us don’t meet the requirements. Not all of our stats meet the requirement of 45 Units, well none in my case…” Kathrine mumbled, avoiding Dilan’s gaze before she added,

“But your stats should meet the requirement by now, am I right?”

Kathrine had seen Dilan’s Log of the Ancient before. That was why she knew that most of his stats should have long since exceeded 45 Units.

What Kathrine didn’t know was that he was restricted due to the Cursed Blessing [Will of the Primordial]. His stats were quite high, but not all of them!

“Unfortunately, my Stamina is below 45 Units, and it looks like Gates doesn’t accept the status amplification of titles, otherwise, I would meet the requirement,” Dilan answered.

His Stamina was at 43.3 Units, and his title, [Beyond the Stars] increased his stats by 10%. This would be enough to meet the requirement.

But given that the Gate didn’t accept the stat boost from titles, Dilan didn’t meet the requirement.

“Your Stamina is too low? But…that means we might never be able to create the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>…” Kathrine mumbled, not believing that Dilan’s stamina was so ‘weak’.

“No worries, I got it. You guys just need the Silveria Sand, right?” Dilan asked before he accessed his Log of the Ancient.

The two Sisters merely nodded their heads before Dilan approached the Temporary Gate, and disappeared into it.

“Didn’t he just say that his Stamina is too low?” Yvonne asked in confusion, looking at Kathrine as if she knew the answer.

However, Kathrine’s face mirrored her sister’s confused expressions as she was not sure what was going on.

What the sisters didn’t know was that Dilan had just used 1.7 of his remaining 4.0 accumulated status points that he had left to allocate so that he could enter the temporary Gate.

Some may consider it a waste of precious status points, but if it was possible to create a total of three Potions of Enhancement <Swiftness> for him in exchange, he would have made a huge profit.

‘Is it possible that temporary Gates provide better treasures in exchange for Essence crystals?’ Dilan wondered.

He emerged on the other side of the portal and was immediately subjected to the burning sun that almost scorched his skin.

“So fucking hot.” Dilan cursed while taking a look around. He could sense the presence of more than a dozen powerful monsters.

Not a single one had lower average stats than 45. This was quite interesting, and when he saw the beach to his left and a small forest not too far away on his right, Dilan grew increasingly restless to figure out how strong the monsters in this Gate were.

However, he was not sure how much time he had left before the Gate would disappear. With that in mind, he looked at the sand to his left.

It reflected a silverish glint as the sun shone on it. Thus, Dilan immediately presumed that this was the Silveria Sand the sisters wanted him to get.

He didn’t waste his time thinking further and walked towards the beach post where he released the tiny bit of mana he had replenished before enveloping the sand around him with it.

The sand he had enveloped with his mana was stored inside his storage ring in a jiffy. Dilan repeated the process several times, not minding the monsters around him.

There were a few crabs that had come out of the water, a weird-looking turtle could be seen walking over the beach, and monsters out of the forest had emerged when they noticed him.

Most of them were eying Dilan because he was still bleeding. In fact, before Yvonne had carried him over to the temporary Gate, he had stopped bleeding for a short time.

Unfortunately, after Yvonne had hastily picked him up, and carried him over, the wound inflicted by the Tiamur CrimsonClaw Bear had accidentally torn open once again.

It was not that much of a problem but the exhaustion had slowly begun to creep in, he needed rest, and he could tell that the monsters around him were thirsting for his blood. This was everything but the optimal situation.

Thus, Dilan accelerated the process of collecting the Silveria Sand. He spent his time replenishing mana and getting his hand on more Silveria Sand.

The more mana he used the more Silveria Sand he got his hand on with each repeated collection process.

It was not until the first groups of monsters dared to approach him that Dilan stopped collecting Silveria sand.

He knew that it was worth a lot, but he could also tell that he could not risk receiving another injury.

And it was not as if he had a lot of mana reserves, let alone a way to refill his mana rapidly now that he didn’t have much life force to use.

It was already a wonder that he was still able to stand. After all, he felt as if he was having internal bleeding that needed medical attention.

Of course, he had no idea whether that was true or not. And it didn’t actually matter because he was already healing, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a notification that he had already survived the lethal attack.

This made things much easier for Dilan as he chose to leave the beach and to return to cold, yet cozy Shiron.

Re-emerging from the temporary Gate, he stepped outside and saw the astonished faces of Yvonne and Kathrine. They had been waiting for Dilan but had not expected him to return so soon.

Thus, they looked at him in confusion, which Dilan noticed immediately.

“I stored more than 100kg of Silveria sand in my storage ring. I couldn’t go too far away from the temporary portal because there were a bunch of powerful monsters everywhere.

And…well, I’m actually not in the best condition to fight right now.” Dilan smiled sheepishly.

His last sentences caused the girls to subconsciously look at Dilan’s abdomen and they noticed that his shirt was soaked in his blood.

Only now did they realize that Dilan had been injured the whole time. His wound had begun to bleed once again, yet, Dilan had given no indication of his pain.

He looked as if he was perfectly fine.

“Oh my gosh, what the hell happened to you?!” Kathrine exclaimed in shock while taking several steps forward to closely inspect his wound.

‘That looks nasty.’ Yvonne thought on the other side. She was also shocked, but she didn’t say anything.

Her gaze was drawn to Dilan, and she subconsciously stared at him, not sure whether Dilan was a tough man, or a stupid fellow.

“I had a small fight before I met the two of you. Either way, a hundred kilos of Silver Sand are probably more than we will ever need. So how about we go back to the base?….”
