Undying Warlord

‘She is a natural killer.’ Dilan thought.

Had someone said these words about Ailee to him earlier, he would have never believed it to be true. After all, Ailee was rather naive, and her actions hadn’t been out of the ordinary.

One could say that she had been a vulnerable woman, who needed to be protected because of her beauty.

She might not be the most beautiful woman in their group, but Ailee could certainly make heads turn.

In the early days after the Primordial Ascension, Dilan had helped her a bit because she had been afraid of being raped.

According to her own words, Ailee had even been too afraid to sleep peacefully.

Dilan had believed all of this in the beginning. This was also why it sounded logical that she was one of the first Survivors, who dared to fight monsters.

However, after the first few days since Dilan had gotten to know her, Ailee had mercilessly killed Jack, when he had attempted to kill Dilan.

This was something Dilan had been thankful for. But despite that, it was a little bit odd for Ailee to be unruffled about the fact that she had killed a fellow human being.

It was almost as if she was not even the slightest bit bothered about this fact, and she had continued to live her life as Survivors of the Primordial Ascension.

After that day, Dilan never had that much to do with Ailee. Of course, there were times when he went out hunting with all of them, and he saw her every single day at the meetings._.

However, that didn’t mean he actually focused on her, or that he spoke to her.

Only now did Dilan avert his focus on her because he clearly realized that Ailee was everything but an ordinary human being.

‘She didn’t even blink when I ordered her to kill the Tier-1 Ascenders, who I had presumed would try to force their way into joining Felia…’

Her immediate acceptance of his orders had made him knit his eyebrows because others would show hesitation when tasked with killing another human being.

But Dilan had simply presumed that Ailee didn’t realize what exactly he wanted from her, that realization would strike her the moment she killed the very people she called her comrades just hours before.

That didn’t happen, but Dilan had focused on recuperating from his injury. Thus, he didn’t even notice that Ailee’s behavior hadn’t changed at all.

She was just like before.

‘Ailee is definitely a natural killer. Even if she was obviously not a headhunter before the Primordial Ascension, she definitely has the talent of a natural killer.’ Dilan couldn’t hide that he was impressed.

Ailee could stay calm despite the sudden appearance of the bloodshot Goats, along with the four Bronze Tier-1 monsters that had charged at Oliver at a rapid pace.

She calmly used her [Rapid Shooting] and killed the four Goats as if they were ordinary animals.

‘She is definitely worth nurturing. Her [Rare+] occupation has even 3 active abilities. That is quite rare.’

His group did research on the difference between [Common], [Rare], [Rare+], [Extraordinary], and [Legendary] occupation.

Secretly, Dilan would add [Divine] occupation as well, but for now, others shouldn’t know about the existence of Divine occupations.

He was not sure why but something told him that it would endanger his people if they were to know about the true extent of his occupation.

Thus, the research only consisted of the five grades of occupations stated above.

Common occupations didn’t provide many additional status points for advancing to Tier-1, and they only received one active and one passive occupational ability.

Furthermore, they didn’t receive an additional spot for active or passive abilities.

Rare occupations had up to two active and passive occupational abilities. However, they didn’t provide any additional spots for active or passive abilities as well.

The same was the case for [Rare+] occupations. Even William’s [extraordinary] occupation only increased his passive ability spot by one.

Meanwhile, Yvonne’s active and passive abilities increased by one, she received most additional status points and a total of three active and passive occupational abilities.

As for special traits, only special occupations had those, including Kathrine’s [Lightning Warrior], Yvonne’s [Fallen Angel], Old Jeff’s [The Wise Blacksmith], and a handful more, including Dilan’s [Kirak’s Vassal].

In the end, Dilan’s Divine occupation was not that different from Yvonne’s Legendary occupation.

Both received a Special trait, three additional active and passive occupational abilities along with additional spots for their active and passive abilities.

However, while Yvonne received only one more active and passive ability spot, Dilan received two for each.

His status amplification was also higher than Yvonne’s, and Dilan’s Divine occupation increased the strength of his abilities by two stars!

This was something not even Yvonne had, and it was also the reason for Dilan’s strength to be even higher than it ought to be.

Yet, on the downside, Yvonne didn’t have something like Dilan’s Cursed Blessing either, let alone a passive ability that decreased her Essence absorption.

Despite all of this, Dilan was happy with his occupation, even more so because it allowed him to become far stronger than anyone else.

While he thought about ways how to nurture Ailee properly, to make use of her natural instincts and talent, Oliver and Ailee absorbed the Essence crystals of the monsters they had killed.

Their strength would increase with each fight against stronger monsters, which was what the two wanted to achieve and show Dilan after receiving a lecture from him so as to redeem themselves in his eyes. They were sure that Dilan would follow them.

With confident strides, they continued to search for new monsters; monsters they had yet to kill for the first time.

Their Essence crystals were treasures to them, and absorbing only new Essence crystals would decrease the speed at which they would level up.

Leveling up was certainly a good thing. After all, one’s strength would increase by leaps and bounds upon advancing to a new Tier.

However, without enough status points, one’s strength would fall short at the end of the day.

It was important to level up, but slowing down one’s leveling up speed to generate the most use of high leveled and high-quality Essence crystals was, at least, equally important.

Fortunately, Dilan didn’t have this problem. Even if he were to kill and absorb the Essence of a thousand monsters, he doubted that he would level up that easily.

Only the highest quality and level of monsters would fill his Essence pool a little bit.

While he was deep in thought, Dilan followed Oliver and Ailee. However, what he didn’t expect to find was that the two would encounter one of the monsters Dilan had killed just recently.

Dilan was immediately dragged out of his train of thoughts when he heard a ferocious roar coming from in front of him. However, instead of being nervous, his expression was more of confusion.

“It’s one of them again?! But why the hell are your claws emerald now?!”

A five-meter-tall bear with 30-centimeter-long emerald claws had emerged from the forest.

‘We’re not even close to the territory of the CrimsonClaw Bear, so I guess they don’t belong to one group. This one is a little bit different as well…’

Dilan immediately perceived that there was a slight difference between the CrimsonClaw Bear and the EmeraldClaw Bear. He presumed their status distribution to be different. However, that was not something he could know for sure.

And it actually didn’t matter because Dilan knew that he shouldn’t take this kind of monster lightly.

Nonetheless, there was a particular question that flashed through his mind.

‘Just how many types of these Bears are there? For all elements or what?!’
