Undying Warlord

Chapter 93 Gale

Dilan was still not sure about the Gate’s requirements. However, he couldn’t sense a single powerful existence near him.

Since he began to increase his control of mana, it became much easier for him to figure out whether a monster was a threat to him or not.

Maybe it was just his senses that had been refined over time, or his ability to perceive danger which had gained more experience during the last 10 days.

Regardless of the reason, it was a fact that he could tell if a monster was dangerous to him, or if it was something useful for him!

This was something one could label as an unrefined technique because he would have to see the monster first in order to tell whether it was dangerous or not.

And if he were to be honest with himself, Dilan was not 100% certain if it was possible to determine the level of threat to him from monsters that could restrict their thirst for blood and strength!

With slow steps, Dilan thus walked around the huge Gate.

He kept paying attention to every single monster around him and figured out that all of them were low-leveled.

Most monsters approached either the huge Gate to pass through it with a basket of ores or crystal on their back, or a specific building that bordered the outskirts.

It was probably the Krendels’ warehouse that was built of wood, mud, and stones.

The longer Dilan looked at all the structures around him the more intrigued he was about the Krendels.

They were far more intelligent and socializing monsters than he first presumed.

However, this didn’t hold him back from desiring everything that ought to belong to them, whether it was their life, body, or simply objects!

Catapulting himself ahead, he passed through a small path without even a single monster nearby. The entire settlement was lit up with torches, the illuminating crystals he had found, and some other sources of light.

As such, it was quite difficult to stay unnoticed._-.

But even after 30 minutes passed not a single monster seemed to notice him.

Dilan didn’t radiate any bloodlust, and the stench of blood belonging to different kinds of monsters that wafted when he passed by was not something new for the beasts to pick up on.

That was why no monster noticed that anything was off, even though a black flash passed through the settlement.

It was quite interesting to use his tremendously high Agility stat to his advantage in order to scout the settlement that belonged to the Krendels.

There were far more powerful monsters than expected with most of them being either Silver monsters or ordinary Tier-1 monsters.

If he was not wrong, there should have been a higher leveled Tier-1 monster as well.

Maybe it was a Bronze Tier-1 monster, but Dilan could tell that he didn’t have a chance to kill it.

At least not without attracting too much attention.

The monster he meant to target was a War Krendel with a height of over five meters.

Its physique was lean yet tightly packed with muscles.

Fur covered the muscles which didn’t hide the two black horns that protruded out of its head.

A simple look at it was enough for Dilan to understand that he was not able to kill it.

However, even then, he was still unwilling to give up.

He had yet to figure out more information about the Gates, let alone how to prevent a third wave.

Dilan believed that most restrictions of the Gates were something that prevented otherworldly existences from infiltrating the home of other races.

As such, Dilan had to reach a higher level and Tier before meeting the requirement to enter the huge Gate, to begin with.

Thus similar requirements should be in place to enter the small gate that led to the Rian mountainside hospital.

‘I should have looked at the Gate’s information after entering the underground valley!’ He was cursing himself for being stupid.

Unfortunately, this didn’t really help him.

On the contrary, he felt angered by his own stupidity which lead him to take a look at the evolved version of the War Krendel with a glint of wrath.

He wanted to let himself loose, which was why he went closer to the center of the settlement.

His distance to the Higher War Krendel, which was the name he gave the monster he targeted, reduced to a mere hundred meters.

This was something he could cross in no time.

[Thunder Step]!

After activating his active ability, Dilan’s Agility was enhanced by 30%.

Pushing his feet off the ground, a distance of more than a dozen meters was crossed in an instant.

Just a moment later he further reduced the distance by another ten meters.

His speed accelerated by another notch as he sho towards his opponent.

Unfortunately, he was unlikely to figure out his maximum attainable speed in this fight.

A distance of 100 meters was simply too little to give Dilan the chance to make use of everything he had up to his sleeves.

The rather narrow lanes in the settlement made things further difficult.

But this was more of a problem for the Higher War Krendel.

After all, it merely got wind of his existence owing to the thunderous noise his active ability released.

Some might have argued that the execution of his ability was a fatal mistake, but Dilan thought that the attention he gained was exactly what he wanted.

With the Higher War Krendel’s attention on him, Dilan simply continued his charge.

His speed had long since crossed 100 km/h and was nearing 150 km/h.

And that was despite the uneven ground he was running on!

Roaring out, Dilan released all the anger and frustration bubbling inside him, further agitating the Higher War Krendel that began to move toward him.

It was not even wielding a weapon, but the way its 50-centimeter-long claws glinted in the low light, there was no way that Dilan would believe that it was unarmed.

The Higher War Krendel began its charge toward him as well.

Without hesitation, it let out garbled noises before crossing a distance of close to ten meters at once.

‘As expected!’

The corners of Dilan’s mouth curled upward the moment he assessed the Higher War Krendel’s Agility.

With a higher Agility and a longer period to accelerate, Dilan knew that his chance of victory had increased a tiny bit.

However even though he could tell that his Agility was higher than the Higher War Krendel’s, it was pretty obvious that the monster’s Strength was much higher.

This was easy to decipher from what Dilan could see in the common distribution of a War Krendel’s stats.

In less than three seconds both Dilan and the Higher War Krendel were standing less than ten meters away from each other.

[Gale]!

Using up five units of Mana in an instant, the Aeris’ leather boots began to gleam faintly.

All of a sudden, Dilan was shrouded in a gale that covered him entirely.

At that moment he pushed himself toward the left side just to be boosted ten meters ahead in an instant.

The sensation of crossing a distance of ten meters in an instant fogged Dilan’s mind, but it didn’t even take him a moment to realize that he was next to the Higher War Krendel!

Making use of the fact that his opponent was still advancing ahead, Dilan’s smile turned devilish.

‘Even if your body is hard as steel, if your bottom is the same, I won’t believe in God anymore… not that I do, to begin with!!’

Screaming in his mind, Dilan used all his strength and the accumulated momentum at once to pierce out with the Captain’s Sword.

It was still a little bit slippery because of the weird secretion of the Earthworm, but that was only to Dilan’s advantage because the spot he attacked was none other than the Higher War Krendel’s butthole!

While he thrust the longsword out, Dilan could clearly see that the Higher War Krendel was trying to forcefully halt in its tracks.

The pressure which it exerted on its legs made its ankles crack while cracks appeared on the ground around the Higher War Krendel’s feet.

Simultaneously, with its attempt to slow down the Higher War Krendel twisted its entire body to an uncomfortable degree which led to numerous shrill cracking noises.

Unfortunately, all of its attempts to grasp and kill Dilan were what lead to the Higher War Krendel’s doom because the Captain’s Sword smoothly pierced through its butthole mere moments before the monster had begun to move rapidly.

Its rapid movement was what turned the rather mild injury Dilan had inflicted, into a grave injury.

Within seconds, the Higher War Krendel began to shed liters of blood, without feeling the slightest pain as its entire existence was fully focused on killing Dilan

Enormous amounts of adrenaline course through its body as well.

This was what allowed it to focus on Dilan, only to realize that he was not behind it anymore.

Dilan had used [Gale] once again and disappeared from the spot, just to catapult himself towards the turned head of the Higher War Krendel after he appeared in front of it once again.

Dilan was right in front of its huge head just a moment later.

His sky blue eyes gleamed brightly as he shaped both of his hands into a knife before he aimed at the Higher War Krendel’s eyes.

The Higher War Krendel took note of Dilan a fraction too late, only to look into the eyes of the existence that was the last face it would ever see.

‘Devil…’

And a mere second later blood splattered on Dilan’s face as both of his hands pierced through the Higher War Krendel’s eyes, reaching deep into his head, where he found what he had been looking for.

“Gotcha!”
