Undying Warlord

Chapter 381 Devouring the Island

?381 Devouring the Island

An hour had passed in the blink of an eye and Dilan could be seen lying on the ground of a pride rock that protruded out of the water.

It was a gigantic pride rock but monsters were still able to reach him if they wanted to.

However, not a single monster dared to attack him right now.

Dilan's entire body was smeared from head to toe in the blood of thousands of monsters that were supposed to be more powerful than the power he radiated right at this moment.

His injuries had all healed and the effect of all the abilities he had activated had worn off.

"Using the temporary treasure enhancements five more times was truly worth it…" Dilan mumbled with a satisfied smile on his face.

He was calmly lying on the pride rock while taking a look through the Essence Shop.

Inside his storage ring that had been enlarged to twice its usual size, numerous Essence crystals, body parts, and various other things could be found.

Dilan didn't sell a single Essence crystal since he had killed the Sea Serpent but the gains he made were beyond his expectations.

He had spent 100,000 Essence Points every 10 minutes to provide himself with Tier-3 potions, and the means to keep all his equipment upgraded for another 10 minutes.

In the end, it was definitely worth it because the entire beach, the outskirts of the abandoned island, and parts of the inner region had been ransacked by Dilan.

Dilan was not someone who made empty promises. He may have not promised himself to claim the abandoned island for himself but it was a nice plan nonetheless.

The only thing that troubled him was the roar of the being he presumed to be either a Tyrannosaurus Rex that was stronger than the Sea Serpent, or something else with terrifyingly high stats and a thunderous roar.

Increasing his stats to more than 800 Units would be extremely difficult as a Tier-1 existence, whether he wanted to use more temporary treasure upgrades, or buy entirely new equipment that would enhance his stats even further.

It was physically not possible for his body to endure higher stats than the 800 he had attained when fighting the Sea Serpent, and that was already extremely close. He had only survived thanks to the use of the Indestructible body upgrade that had worn off by now.

To defeat the strongest monster on the abandoned island, Dilan would have to increase his stats to more than 800, which was not possible as the indestructible body was the only physique-enhancing treasure in the Essence Shop.

Dilan was a bit dissatisfied about that but it was basically the only regret he had.

[Essence Points: 4,642,400]

But when he glanced at his Essence Points, Dilan's dissatisfaction dispersed. After taking a look at his storage ring, where One Tier-4, 69 Tier-3, and 632 Tier-2 Essence crystals were neatly stored, Dilan began to smile once again.

"Converted, these Essence crystals should be worth far more than 100 status points and a dozen level ups…" He gauged with a happy expression.

The thought of being able to advance to Tier-2, level up a dozen times, and gain more than 100 status points right off the bat was enticing.

However, Dilan was still not satisfied.

He might have been able to conquer parts of the abandoned island but he had yet to procure more Tier-4 Essence crystals.

At the same time, he had yet to find something he wanted to spend all his Essence points on. There was still a long time left before he would finish the abyssal-difficulty mission, yet, Dilan was lying around as if he was on a vacation.

There was no need for him to do a lot because he was searching for all kinds of things in the Essence Shop while waiting for night to arrive.

He wanted to turn the second Night Invasion into his second feast. Hunting all night would be arduous and it would drain his Stamina but he could use means to counter this.

Drinking potions like a madman was a way of going forward, and whether it would inevitably strain his body or not didn't matter. If he could gain a huge advantage by straining his body for 72 hours, Dilan was more than willing to do so.

"Set equipment?" He suddenly sat up straight and looked at the magnificent-looking armor that appeared in front of him.

[[Hyel Destructo(Armor-Set)] Ordinary Ungraded (Growth)] 10,000,000 Essence Points.

The name of the Armor set was quite weird but Dilan could make out that it was related to Destruction…or so he presumed, at least.

However, he had no idea what the stats of this armor were if it had any additional abilities, or what these abilities were, to begin with.

Dilan was not able to click on the Armor set and read through the information, which was kind of annoying.

The Armor set was the first thing that attracted his interest a little bit. There may be many other unique and powerful weapons or armors in the Essence Shop but his interest in them was pretty low.

It was not necessary for him to purchase a Tier-4 or Tier-5 weapon if he couldn't even wield it. The same could be said about buying Slaves. His willpower had to be stronger than theirs in order to reassure him that he would be the master in the master-slave relationship and have an upper hand.

Dilan didn't really like buying slaves, but his mindset had changed quite a bit.

As long as he wouldn't mistreat the slaves, he could simply consider them as servants.

Their life would also be much better than being caged somewhere. And if he was a Samaritan, which was not the case, he could also promise them freedom after they returned him his investment with interest.

Becoming stronger, and being as powerful as possible, was more important than maintaining his morality.

If his intentions were not to treat them harshly, there was nothing wrong with that, and he could even consider himself their savior if he wanted to.

This was something only a hypocrite would do but Dilan had long since accepted that he was a hypocrite with double standards. But what did it matter? If someone had something against him, they should either leave his side so that they wouldn't have to see him, or they should try fighting him.

Neither the former nor the latter was something most people dared to do. Thus, they had to accept Dilan for who he was, whether they liked it or not.

"I won't buy the Armor-set if I cannot be sure that I will be able to wear it. If it has some weird restrictions, I will just waste 10 million Essence Points…" Dilan concluded before he closed the Essence shop.

He opened the Divinity Mission Board and entered the Chat, where he had written a short message earlier.

Dilan was not able to see his message anymore because some people had chatted with each other in the chatbox but that was a good sign.

"Seems like my question stirred up the minds of a few people!" Dilan mumbled, smirking brightly as he scrolled up the chat until he found his message.

[How to remove a Curse from a Cursed Blessing?]

He had expected some people to be interested in the answer to his question and share their opinions but a heated debate had started unexpectedly.

Some people in the chat said that something like Cursed Blessing didn't exist, while others said that it was not possible to remove the Curse from a Cursed Blessing. This would remove the blessing as well.

Then there were others, who were certain that it was possible to dispel the Cursed Blessing, which was what attracted Dilan's interest.

The Cursed Blessing [Will of the Primordial] slowed down Dilan's advancement speed the most. It was quite annoying, which was why he wanted to get rid of it.

Unfortunately, the advantageous part of the Will of the Primordial was that his stat limit was much higher than that of others at the same Tier. And that was what he wanted to retain!

Dilan didn't read through all the messages immediately. Instead, he asked the question he had come for before he returned to reading through the debate he had ignited without intending to.

[Does someone know the attributes of the ?]

It was not necessary to shy away from asking important questions. His real name might be written next to the message but nobody could tell which race he belonged to, or what he looked like.

Basically, he was pretty much anonymous with the questions he wrote, especially since no human from Milarn ought to be able to have unlocked the Divinity Mission Board yet.

"Hopefully, someone can answer me properly this time!"
