Undying Warlord

Chapter 260 Short Call



Chapter 260 Short Call

[343 <Ordinary>, 148 <Bronze>, 41 <Silver>, and 7 <Human> Essences have been absorbed?+0.7 Strength, +1.1 Health, +0.7 Stamina, +0.5 Agility, +0.9 Mana]

‘Oh? Something changed about the notification…<Human> Essence is now a special type of Essence of its own.’ Dilan realized when he finished absorbing all Essence crystals.

He received only one notification, which was exactly what he wanted. It would be annoying to get hundreds of notifications, after all.

However, he was still astonished about the new type of Essence. It was not that it was a different type of quality, but more of the fact that the Human Essence was special.

But that was something Dilan was well aware of. The system seemed to have noticed this as well, and it adapted to the changes which was the thing that astonished Dilan.

He was eyed weirdly, with disgust, anger, and frustration, but also curiosity. Yet, Dilan didn’t actually care about that.

His disgust toward the bloodthirsty Ascenders disappeared the moment they were killed. It had been a weird situation.

Earlier, Dilan’s body had cramped the moment he got close to the bloodthirsty Ascenders. He wanted to kill them from the beginning to make the disgust he felt disappear. And now that they were dead, and their Essences devoured by Dilan, he felt much better.

‘I feel disgusted about Ascenders, who devoured other humans’ Essences, but I don’t feel like anything is off when I do it on my own. That’s weird.’ Dilan was not sure what was wrong with his body.

However, there was certainly something going on with him, and he didn’t understand it, at all.

‘Either way, back to the more important topic.’ Dilan reminded himself. He straightened his back and took a look around himself.

“Looks like I’m more popular than expected.” He said the moment he noticed that close to a hundred pairs of eyes were staring at him.

However, he was not ‘popular’ by any means. Nobody knew him and he had just mercilessly killed fellow human beings, who were not even able to defend themselves.

They might have been the bloodthirsty Ascenders, who killed other human beings to become stronger but the Blue Star camp was known for following the rules of the old world governing mankind before the Primordial Ascension had happened.

Murderers would be imprisoned and tried at the ‘court’ by the ‘judges’. There was no courtroom in the military base after the Primordial Ascension and neither a judge. However, that was not the important point.

After all, revenge murder was also just that- murder! Thus, the Soldiers would usually sneak up to the perpetrator, catch him and imprison him before charging him with his crime.

But not a single Soldier moved, including the few Soldiers, who stood close to Dilan. They were too afraid to die and think about doing something that might endanger their life. They were not suicidal, after all.

“Weird, did I do something wrong?” Dilan mumbled while holding his head with his blood-smeared hand, entering a stance that made it seem like he was thinking very hard.

However, the blood all over his body, and his face turned this ‘thinking-stance’ into something that looked far more frightening and terrifying than Dilan intended to make it look like.

‘Is he doing this intentionally?’ Mayo Clerens wondered while looking at Dilan from further away. His body had now returned to its original size, and the muscles all over his body returned to their usual state as well.

He looked like any other well-trained young man, who had trained and tempered his body for more than 10 years, consistently and without a break.

‘Looks like this dude is really screaming <I am a troublemaker>…’ He could only think and shook his head before turning his attention to the actions of Sheriff Jennie and Hunter Jared.

‘Why are they not doing anything?’ Mayor Clerens noticed, which led him to approach them.

“Don’t you guys want to catch him for killing fellow humans?” He asked in a voice loud enough for everyone around him to hear his question clearly.

The Ascender’s ears pricked up, but they didn’t dare to turn around in fear that Dilan would do something to them.

The killing intent he released subconsciously was suffocating and his presence weighed them down, preventing them from doing anything.

“Catch who?” Sheriff Jennie deadpanned while looking at Mayor Clerens. She didn’t intend to say anything else. However, Hunter Jared, joined Sheriff Jennie’s commentary as he asked,

“Killing fellow humans? I just saw someone end the life of a few more monsters. I don’t know what you mean, Clerens.” He was also dead serious with his answer.

Usually, Hunter Jared wouldn’t agree to anything Sheriff Jennie did. He just could not stand her, not even a tiny bit. There were reasons for him to loath Sheriff Jennie, but to Mayor Clerens’ astonishment, they were on one side right now.

“Alright, I understand.” Mayor Clerens merely said before turning in Dilan’s direction and waving his hand.

“You talked with him earlier, quite a lot at that. I guess he wants the Blood Legion for himself, am I right?” Sheriff Jennie asked Mayor Clerens in a straightforward manner.

She didn’t try to hide anything from the people around her. Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

There were a few Ascenders, who didn’t seem to like the fact that all three leaders ignored the crime Dilan had committed, but it was not as if they would start complaining all of a sudden. They held their lives dearly, after all.

‘Are our leaders also afraid of dying at his hands? Is that why they are hesitating to say something about this mysterious man’s murder?’ A few Ascenders wondered.

However, others were of a completely different opinion. They could think of a few steps ahead into the future and understood that the Blue Star camp could gain a lot from Dilan.

After all, it looked like he wouldn’t hesitate to kill others, even the bloodthirsty Ascenders if the need arises.

By killing the few bloodthirsty Ascenders he had caught beforehand, he had already offended the Blood Legion. Dilan destroyed their entire plan of using the time of monsters to destroy the Blue Star camp.

He had become the number one opponent of the Blood Legion because of everything he had done in the last half an hour.

Yet, Dilan looked completely unruffled as if nothing could shake him, not even if the ground below him would split open all of a sudden, and reveal the pits of hell below.

‘Are they planning to use him to tackle the Blood Legion? Our Leaders are so scheming hehehehe!!’

Yet, while some Ascenders believed their leaders to be geniuses and tricksters, the killing intent around Dilan intensified.

He knew that the Blood Legion was not something he could defeat easily. However, that was not necessary, to begin with.

After all, he was not alone, and he knew that his people were eager to fight as well.

“Well, they might have planned to fight and annihilate the Blue Star camp the moment they dared to attack us, but the Blood Legion is an even better opponent, I guess.” Dilan thought for a moment, not realizing that he was speaking out loud.

Sheriff Jennie and Hunter Jared, both of whom had heard him, couldn’t help but frown deeply. They began to wonder who Dilan was, and what the hell he was talking about.

‘We didn’t offend him in any way, right?’ They thought worriedly, only for Mayor Clerens to sigh deeply.

‘He is really not someone who knows how to act low profile…’ He thought.

And as if Dilan wanted to make sure that everyone knew he was not someone who knew how to keep a low profile, he took a weird device out of his storage ring.

“I need to make a quick call. Please wait a moment.”

Call someone? Who, and with what? Everyone was confused, but Dilan didn’t even think of answering. Instead, he inserted mana in the device he was holding before holding it close to his ear.

A few seconds of silence passed before the three leaders, whom Dilan had approached earlier, could hear a voice from that device.

“Dilan? Is everything fine with you? Did something happen? Don’t tell me you got into trouble…We won’t have to move, right?” The voice of a young female could be heard, and everyone understood that Dilan was actually making a phone call to someone else.

‘But…phones don’t work anymore…’

“Hey, yeah everything is fine. I’m just too lazy to run back and forth. Send over Yvonne, Kathrine, and everyone else, who is willing to fight a few evil Ascenders.”
