Undying Warlord

Chapter 412 Back

"Who the hell are you, and what did you do to Dilan?!" Victoria screamed out when she emerged in front of Dilan. Her hands had formed into claws that were shrouded in blood ice as she lunged out at Dilan, ready to kill him at once.

Dilan was a little surprised about the sudden attack but he would have been able to react fast enough to move aside…if his feet hadn't been locked down to the ground by Victoria's blood ice.

"Looks like you got a lot stronger," Dilan mumbled to himself as his fist shot out toward her claw. He was faster than Victoria, and his punch landed a heavy blow on her palm, nearly breaking Victoria's hand.

Afterward, his other hand shot out and reached for Victoria's neck, which he held tightly as his eyes began to glow in a crimson hue.

"Calm down!" He ordered and as if on cue, Victoria's body released all its tension. She stared at Dilan in disbelief and the sister duo got a bad feeling about what he would do next. They let out a sigh of relief when Dilan lowered Victoria to the ground before he let her go once again.

He looked down at his feet and circulated mana through both his hands which he smashed down on the blood ice that restricted him from moving.

When he activated [Mantle of Elements] while smashing downward, flames erupted around his fists, which Dilan considered as his weapons right now.

The blood ice, which Victoria had conjured burst open, and Dilan's feet were freed after he used some more force. His sole was injured a tiny bit but Dilan healed ahead in a matter of seconds.

"Dilan?" Kathrine asked carefully, not sure what the hell was going on with Victoria who had suddenly attacked Dilan, or what was wrong with Dilan, whose eye color didn't seem to be the same as before.

There was a faint red hue to his pupils, which confused Kathrine quite a bit. However, more confusing was definitely the fact that Dilan had easily calmed down Victoria after she had begun to release terrifying killing intent.

"What's the issue, Kathrine?" Dilan asked lightly as he looked down at the confused woman.

"What happened to you inside there? It makes no sense that we completed the final trial four days earlier than you!" Yvonne asked as she stood beside him, glancing at Dilan with squinted eyes.

She suspected something that was proven to be correct when Dilan answered her.

"There was a hidden trial after I defeated the Blood Demon. I was given the opportunity to accept the bloodline of the Blood Monarch's Ancestors and thought that I could test out whether it would give me some benefits or not," He answered quite nonchalantly.

However, his nonchalant answer was exactly what caused Victoria to jump up from the ground.

She had regained her senses and could clearly tell that a lot about Dilan had changed. He smelled a bit different, which was why Victoria had thought that some unknown person had replaced Dilan.

Right now, she was embarrassed about her behavior but it was not as if she could do something against it, other than the obvious choice of playing it down.

"You've accepted the bloodline of the Vampire's ancestors?" Victoria asked with gleaming eyes and she turned her attention back to the Instance Dungeon. She was ready to conquer it all by herself once again if that meant that she was given the opportunity to receive the bloodline of the Blood Monarch!

"Yeah, but I talked to the Blood Demon, who appeared in the fifth trial, a little bit after beating him. The Demon I summoned was quite useful as well in answering some of my questions," Dilan said and he was just about to reveal what the Demons told him when Yvonne looked at him doubtfully.

"Your Blood Demon could speak? Mine only made growling noises and he acted like a hoodlum despite being a Gold Tier-2 Blood Demon…just how strong and intelligent as your opponent to be able to talk?" Yvonne asked and Dilan could only smile weirdly in return.

"I don't know how strong he actually was but with all the enhancements he received and the fact that Demons are usually a bit stronger than ordinary monsters, he was definitely as strong as some weaker Tier-4 monsters," Dilan revealed, which caused Yvonne to sigh deeply once again.

"What did I even expect…" She grumbled to herself while Victoria froze in her place after discarding the thought of conquering the Blood Monarch's Sanctum all by herself. It looked like she had to become a little bit stronger…

"Just let me tell you what I found out," Dilan tried to laugh her concern off about what he had just said but the three women were already glaring at him.

"Alright…calm down ladies," He said while moving his hands in a calming manner in the air before he started to summarize everything he had gotten to know.

All three of them listened to him in rapt attention and they were baffled for quite some time, which Dilan made use of to take a look at the Realm Gate.

"I've received permission to leave. You guys probably have it as well, right?" Dilan turned around and the three women nodded their heads before they followed him while being deep in thoughts.

"It's time to go back and see what mess our friends created in the last few days!" He laughed and walked through the Realm Gates, ready to beat up a bunch of Werewolves, and the Vampire Lord as well, if necessary.

After emerging on the other side of the Realm Gates, Dilan could immediately sense a lot more than before. The walls of the Inner Sanctum felt alive, which was quite weird if he were to be honest with himself.

The hair all over his body stood up on its end as he felt various new things and Dilan tried hard to ignore this weird feeling.

He took a few deep breaths and left the inner sanctum to take a look at how everyone else was doing.

"Dilan, you're finally out! Why did you guys take so long?" Sven rushed over the moment he saw Dilan. Dilan's pressure was terrifying and something seemed different about their leader but that was not something he could be bothered with right now.

"It wasn't thaaatt long," Dilan retorted, roughly guessing that they had left for about a week to comprehend a technique in the first trial of the Blood Monarch's Sanctum and to awaken his bloodline.

These two things required the longest, which was why they hadn't been back for roughly a week.

"8 days are a lot longer than you can fathom, especially since the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction arrived!! Couldn't you have hurried a little bit?! The second phase of the Primordial Ascension and the changes of the system are driving everyone crazy, and the Scorpion people from the temple of Scorpio seem to have found us because the Werewolves acted like brain-dead zombies…." Sven whined and he looked extremely tired.

Dilan felt a bit sorry for his state but he couldn't help but blurt out what was on his mind,

"I forgot about the Hordes of Chaos and Destructions…oops…"

Sven's lips twitched when he heard Dilan but there was nothing he could do against the attitude of their leader.

"Did the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction arrive on the Shikan plains, or have you yet to hear something from them?" Dilan asked with more seriousness than before, which calmed Sven quite a bit.

"We haven't heard anything from the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction but we've heard something from the Scorpion people. That is if Mick and his [Translator] occupation could properly understand the recording the Werewolves sent us, capturing their conversation!" Sven explained and Dilan ended up nodding his head in understanding.

"In that case, I will visit the Temple of Scorpio now. Getting information first-hand would be the best but asking the Scorpion people should also work," Dilan said before disappearing on the spot, leaving a baffled Sven alone.

"How much stronger did he become?" He mumbled to himself, and soon enough Victoria and the others appeared as well.

"We don't know…"
