Undying Warlord

Chapter 258 Blood-Legion

Mayor Clerens didn’t say anything about it at first.

However, he sighed deeply after crushing the skull of a Lamia that had appeared in front of him all of a sudden.

“Felia gave me a detailed report about everything that happened in Shiron. I didn’t expect you to actually kill them for attempting to **** one of your women. It should be impossible for me to do the same here. The Survivors in our group expect us to live in a civilized way, exactly as it had been before the Primordial Ascension…They don’t know how frightening Ascenders can be…” Mayor Clerens replied, sighing deeply after killing a few more monsters.

He looked over to Dilan, whose eyes were gleaming brightly. It didn’t look like he was holding back his desires and urges. This was something Mayor Clerens was actually jealous about.

For Ascenders, it was hard to control their emotions. Their emotions were intensified, which only grew worse the more their level and strength increased.

The more pure Essence they absorbed, the harder it was to conceal their true desires, emotions, and intentions.

For some this was problematic, but for others, this was not the case. There were many troublesome men in the Blue Star camp, and keeping them under check was actually quite difficult.

Fortunately, some women with nymphomaniac tendencies were in the Blue Star camp. These women’s true desires were helpful for the Blue Star camp because they could satisfy the troublesome men, who were unable to control themselves much.

And they even had abilities and chose occupations through which these women could gain a lot by pleasing more men.

At first, many had frowned upon this, but Mayor Clerens couldn’t care less about that. It was more important to calm down the problematic cases of his Ascenders than morality.

‘Dilan solved this by killing everyone, who was unable to control their urges. If they dare to do something stupid, they will end up like my Soldiers. They were a pain in the ass, either way, but that is not something I can tell others.

Jared and Jennie planned to eradicate Dilan’s group, but it looks like we were ‘lucky’ with the Blood Legion’s attack..’ Mayor Clerens summed up the current situation.

It was obvious that them being ‘lucky’ was not great, but it was better to be alive than to die at Dilan’s hand. And the way he was able to kill dozens of monsters in a fraction of a second clearly showed that he was accustomed to killing monsters as if he needed to spill blood to stay alive.

There were even some Silver Tier-1 monsters which he killed as if they were cattle, and not powerful existences that were feared by all Survivors, and even many Tier-1 Ascenders of the Blue Star camp.

Thus, Mayor Clerens picked the easiest way; he chose to accept Dilan’s existence for the time being and to improve his image in the eyes of his group first. At the right time, he would reveal that Dilan was the man, who killed five Soldiers for trying to **** a woman of his group.

“She is not my woman, but a woman of my group. I don’t even know her, to be honest. But my rules are absolute. I would even try to kill Gods for trying to be naughty with my people if they don’t consent.”

Dilan repeated himself, and Mayor Clerens understood that the young man was serious. ‘Well, as long as they’re willing, there won’t be a problem, that’s obvious though.’ He just thought before clearing his throat.

“Back to the topic. I have someone to question the bloodthirsty Ascenders you knocked out, but that’s not necessary. We already know everything about their group. In fact, we know that they’ve destroyed quite a few large groups of Ascenders.

If I remember correctly, they have destroyed five camps by now, and killed more than 50,000 humans .” Mayor Clerens fumed in anger. He was more than just a little bit enraged at the behavior of the humans, who had turned their backs on whatever made them ‘human’.

They were now a wolf in sheep skin, monsters roaming in the skin of humans, and one could consider them even worse than ordinary monsters. It was easy to fight ordinary monsters because one would notice them early enough.

The noises they created, their bloodlust, and many other indicators such as their easily perceivable strength were more than enough to face monsters or to run away from them.

However, humans were cunning and many of them were smart enough to trap their brethren. By allowing more Survivors to join their rows, it was impossible to know whether the Ascenders, who joined them, were spies, potential evil Ascenders, or troublemakers in other ways.

Too many incidents could occur by expanding their base, which was exactly what had happened to the Blue Star camp, and many other camps.

Everyone wanted to become stronger, to make their defenses against monsters sturdy, and to defend against them by all means.

They wanted to fight and take back everything that had wrongfully been snatched away from them. The Primordial Ascension was like a curse to them, and the only advantage was that it was not impossible to retaliate, to fight back as long as the entire human race worked towards achieving one goal.

But that was not the case, and many innocent Survivors died at the hands of the Blood Legion that had infiltrated various camps, acting as if they were good people before their true desires were revealed.

Their actions dyed the ground bloody-red, while death accompanied them at every step like a good, old acquaintance.

“Tell me about it then. That is if you need my help.” Dilan offered, not hiding his interest in the information he could get about the bloodthirsty Ascenders’ group.

Mayor Clerens knew that Dilan wouldn’t help them for the sake of being nice. It was not that simple. Rather, the simplest reason for Dilan to act was to protect his own people from dangers even before they would cast their evil shadow on Shiron.

This was admirable, clearly showing how important it was for Dilan to protect his people.

However, it was also a tiny bit disappointing because Dilan didn’t act like a saint, who would save everyone, just because they were humans.

But that was not something Mayor Clerens expected from Dilan, to begin with.

As such, he took the opportunity at hand and hoped that Dilan would help them for the sake of his people, not someone else’s.

“It’s like that….”

Mayor Clerens began to speak and explain things without feeling the need to hide anything. The more information Dolan would get, the fewer doubts he would have about what next steps he was going to take.

There was no risk in revealing the information either. If Dilan would help them, it was great and many things were bound to get easier.

However, even if Dolan would be scared after hearing the information Mayor Clerens had to share, the Blue Star camp could fight on their own.

It would just become a little bit more complicated.

But Mayor Clerens was not actually worried about Dilan being a scaredy-cat.

Rather, he could gauge that Dilan was of a reckless nature, that he was yearning for challenges, and that he might even die the moment he was to do something due to lack of information.

The Intel provided by Mayor Clerens prevented this, which was something Dilan noticed.

‘He is really trying hard to help me, to help him to defeat the Blood Legion.’ Dilan thought, while secretly acknowledging that the name Blood Legion was amazing.

‘My group doesn’t even have a name yet. I wonder how the others introduce our group when they meet other people.’

[Dilan’s Group] sounded boring.

That was only obvious. Thus, Dilan hoped for the best, and that he had some creative minds to think of a great name that represented the entire group perfectly.

‘I will have to mention this at our next gathering.’ Dilan thought, smiling faintly while cutting open the head of a nearby monster.

‘Yeah, he definitely isn’t a scaredy-cat.’
