Undying Warlord

Dilan was far from happy after he killed the Ascenders.

But even if he was displeased and angered, it didn’t change the situation he had to face ahead.

Dilan bent down while sighing deeply as he retrieved the Essence crystals from the Ascenders.

His expression was stoic while doing so, but anyone, who was to see him right now would be utterly disgusted.

Unfortunately, the feeling of disgust and repulse wouldn’t help in the given situation as Dilan had to reach into the head of the Ascenders he had killed in order to procure their Essence crystals.

“Their Essence crystals shall give me the necessary strength to kill all of them!!”

Some might think that Dilan was a hypocrite but that was not something he could be bothered about.

On one hand, he was angered and loathed the Death Beatles gang for absorbing the Essence crystals of humans, whom they killed, while on the other, he was actually doing the same._-.

However, there was one particular difference between him and the Death Beatles gang…he killed murderers, rapists, and other scums, not innocent Survivors, who were giving their best just to survive one more day.

Dilan was actually not bothered about the gangs fighting against each other. They could do whatever they wanted, but the Death Beatles gang crossed the fine line they should have never dared to reach, to begin with!

That thought was more than enough for Dilan to make his blood boil, and he wouldn’t hold back on absorbing their Essence crystals as well.

If they were eager to strengthen him he would readily accept their generosity by granting them a death sentence.

The moment he thought so, the four Essence crystals in his hand crumbled.

[<Bronze> Essence of Tier-1 Level 2 Mirko Havic, and Essences of Tier-1 Level 1 Dirk Ninburg, Leonard Weissmann, and Justin Black have been absorbed→ +0.2 Strength, +0.1 Stamina, +0.3 Agility awarded]

There was one Bronze Essence crystal, while the others had been ordinary Tier-1 Essence crystals.

This was probably owed to the fact that the first Ascender he killed had advanced to Tier-1 with a Rare ancient path of advancement.

At least, that was what Dilan presumed to be the reason for one Essence crystal to be of the Bronze quality!

Dilan had yet to level up but he could not care about that for now.

His anger that targeted the entire Death Beatles gang was more than enough to switch his focus on finding a way to annihilate the gang rather than bothering to think about the large amount of Essence he required to level up!

Despite the anger that surged through his entire body, Dilan noticed one thing that astonished him quite a bit.

“Why am I not disgusted with myself? Not even the slightest bit…isn’t that weird? Didn’t I instinctively feel disgusted by the Ascenders because they absorbed the Essence of humans?”

Dilan’s theory had been that he could instinctively perceive whether one killed and absorbed the Essence of humans or not.

However, this didn’t seem to be the case, or at least it was not the entire truth because everything was perfectly normal when he absorbed their Essence crystals.

He had no time minding this either, so he picked up the corpses before throwing them to one side.

Afterward, he covered them with blankets before doing the same with the puddle of blood.

‘It won’t be necessary for me to clean up everything. As long as they don’t notice me immediately, I will be fine.’

Dilan didn’t feel the need to chalk out an elaborate plan to overpower his opponents.

He was sure that this would be over the top because a simple surprise attack was more than enough.

But instead of sitting idle and waiting restlessly for the Death Beatles gang, Dilan decided to examine his premises. Thus, he started to walk through the building.

There were only a few floors he had to take a look at. What he saw on his short trip that was wrapped up in less than an hour to finish was nothing special.

In fact, Dilan was quite disappointed because the only weapons he found were a Kobold’s spear, a Gnomes maze, and some other Tierless Trash and Bronze weapons.

Because Dilan was curious about their lethality, he tried to inflict an injury on himself with the strongest weapon amongst them. Luckily, he was unscathed.

This allowed him to feel both reassured and a bit frustrated.

“By the looks of it, they have not received any treasures from the Gates but…why the hell is my body already resilient to Tierless Bronze weapons?! Do I really have to try injuring myself with the Gray Slayer to keep upgrading my Origin ability?”

The Gray Slayer was currently the strongest weapon Dilan’s group possessed and even that weapon was not unparalleled.

Using some brute force, the Gray Slayer could still cut him. This was great but the force he had to use to create a small cut was still more than he expected.

‘My Health stat is truly frightening.’ Dilan could only smile wryly while shaking his head.

He was already at the peak of a Tier-1 existence in terms of his Health stat. This was the case despite his advance to Tier-1 having finished not too long ago as well.

However, even before he could start wondering just how powerful he would be once all of his stats were to reach their limit, Dilan heard several voices from below him.

He was currently on the first floor near the stairways. His plan had been to walk down and wait for the arrival of the Death Beatles gang.

But it looked like he didn’t have to wait anymore, which was why he couldn’t help but smile.

Slowly, Dilan walked towards the window that was on the floor directly above the old corporate building’s entrance. He took a peek and his smile turned even brighter.

‘All of them have advanced to Tier-1..they really did it!’ Dilan thought, as a mixture of anger and a trace of excitement surged through his body.

Anger because he knew how the Ascenders below him had advanced to Tier-1 and excitement because Dilan was pretty sure that he was going to launch a massacre in a mere minute!

‘Let the bloodbath begin!’
