Undying Warlord

Chapter 448 Rest?

"So…you not only took care of the Dragon Temple, but you forgot to bring some…slaves back to the Sanctum?... Are you being serious right now?" Kathrine asked while moving her hands wildly in the air.

She looked at the Dark Elves and all the other Slaves, who stood behind Dilan in a disciplined manner. The Slaves stood in attention and would kill their master's opponent the moment someone was to direct killing intent toward him.

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Dilan asked in return. He looked straight into Kathrine's eyes, unable to see why she was being so fussy. Dilan didn't like the situation but the situation was his issue, not Kathrine's.

"What's the problem? W…y….ARGhhhh!" Kathrine screamed in frustration and it looked like she was having a meltdown, but thankfully she calmed down when Yvonne intervened.

She pulled back her elder sister and tried to talk to her, but that failed miserably.

"Well whatever," Dilan mumbled mostly to himself before he averted his attention to Sven and Williams.

"The Slaves belonged to some Drakins and then had been handed over to the leader of the settlement that I've basically razed to the ground. I was somehow automatically given the control of their Slave Mark and they'll learn our language before teaching us some of their combat style. Their combat style includes a rather professional version of using weapons and abilities together and in perfect sync. Learning from them will help all of us a lot!" Dilan summarized the situation rather quickly and the two men nodded their heads.

Kathrine seemed to have calmed down as well and she turned her attention back to Dilan and the situation ahead.

"They'll also share their knowledge about various things with you guys. As long as everyone is willing, this will certainly help you guys to learn various facts about your abilities, the Primordial Ascension, and much more!" He shared before his attention turned to something else, "How is the situation with the Werewolves, the Vampire Lord, and the Scorpio Temple, right now?"

Everyone looked at Dilan as if he was some sort of a freak or a supernatural existence.

He was not sure what problem his question caused and the others noticed his nonchalance, which caused Sven to smile. Williams on the other side couldn't help but squint his eyes as he kept watching the young man in front of him.

"You don't want to take a break for a few hours, half a day or a few days to rest and relax especially after everything you've encountered in the recent days?" Williams asked to make sure that Dilan understood why they were staring at him like this.

There was no way that Dilan was unaffected by the situation he had faced when the Meteor Shower had killed everyone around him before turning its hateful gaze at him and crush his body in ways he didn't even think were possible to get crushed.

Nobody could truly fathom how Dilan survived the impact of the meteorite after they had seen the humongous district-sized meteorite he had stored and brought to Old Jeff, who was supposed to make use of it.

However, what everyone could fathom was that the reason for Dilan not to return to the Sanctum for a duration of two weeks was not because he didn't want to but because he was simply not able to do it. Their earlier fear that he had abandoned them and went on a solo journey had been for naught.

It was only days after the two-week period had elapsed that Dilan had finally reached the surface and emerged from the pits of the ground. At that time he had been in pretty bad shape and it took him an additional four days to fix his body. Just the thought that someone with an Origin ability that focused on the increase of his Health and natural regeneration was not enough to heal him faster than the total of three weeks he had been away from the others showing clear enough that Dilan's situation had been more than grave.

Dilan didn't want to make a fuss out of it, but the others seemed to have a different opinion.

"And what do you think I should do after taking a few days off? I don't really have anything else to do but to improve my knowledge, the ranking of my abilities, my level, stats, and equipment. We don't know how much time we are left with until the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction will reach us either. So…please answer my question and we can continue doing our utmost to make sure that we will survive this mess!" Dilan shared his opinion in a rather simple manner.

It was not difficult to understand his mindset regarding the given situation and the circumstances that revolved around it.

Thus, Williams could only give up and sigh deeply, while Victoria stepped forward.

Her blue eyes darted toward Dilan but she held herself back from saying lots of things. It hadn't been long before she came to a few conclusions about Dilan, how to treat him after everything she had found out about his past, and the fact that she had figured out that he was not exactly interested in her.

Dilan was not disinterested in Victoria either but his romantic interest in her was definitely not to an extreme degree and whatever he had felt for her before had quickly evaporated.

"As we already told you before, the Werewolves are currently packing their stuff. They are preparing to leave the Sanctum and return to their homes. As for the Vampire Lord, he disappeared not too long ago. You probably missed him by a day or so, meaning that there is no problem with the Werewolves or the Vampires," Victoria explained simply before her expression changed a bit.

"Unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing about the Scorpio Temple. Some Werewolves and human Ascenders from our group had been in contact with them before and it looks like a particular group stirred a lot of trouble when they told the Scorpionman that they wanted them to work for the group of humans and werewolves!" Victoria added quite simply, and there was not even the need for Dilan to hear the rest before he knew what was going on.

"Obviously they didn't like being ordered around. That means I have to clean up some of the mess created by my people…again…" Dilan intervened before Victoria could finish. She just nodded her head and didn't say anything else.

However, Dilan felt a little bit frustrated.

'Am I supposed to stay behind and sort out the mess my people leave all the time? Isn't a group supposed to help one another…' He thought before he quietly blurted out something everyone around him could clearly here.

"When are they going to be useful instead of being a burden??"

Dilan spoke in frustration but that was only obvious. He already had a lot on his plate and the things he had to do in the near future continued to increase in number. There was definitely no need for others to keep doing stupid things to increase his workload.

Unfortunately, that was exactly what some of his people were doing, which was what frustrated Dilan to no end.

"Master, if you want us to act, we will take care of everything," The Dark Elven woman, whom he had rescued from rapists, offered.

Everyone turned in her direction, just for the young woman to add something.

"This includes taking care of the useless people in your group as well…"
