Undying Warlord

Even without the use of [Switch], Dilan's Mana was extremely high.

The equipment he wore added a total of 238 Units to his Mana which was already higher than 200 Units.

After taking into consideration his extremely precise control of mana and the fact that he could replenish it rapidly, it would be very hard for Dilan to use up his whole mana if not for the fact that the abilities of his accessories were extremely expensive.

However, their use was terrifying as well, especially since he had burned hundreds of monsters to a cinder.

"I should really hold back. What use does it have if I burn all corpses to ash when I intended to sacrifice them at the Poison Divinity Fragment?" Dilan grumbled after he saw the devastation the Inferno of Disintegration had caused.

He knew that the Ring of Inferno's ability was powerful but he didn't expect it to be that devastating.

The fire had devoured many monsters and left behind only their bones and their Essence crystals, which was a bit weird to look at for a moment.

"It was really more powerful than I would have expected. Even Tier-3 monsters sustained heavy injuries…" Dilan mumbled in astonishment as he picked up everything around him. Spreading out his mana like a nest, he caught everything before it was stored in his storage ring a moment later.

Dilan was glad that collecting all the corpses, bones, and Essence crystals was so easy, otherwise, he would really struggle a lot.

"We're not done yet…we merely started!" Dilan sternly reminded himself at this moment and he began to smile lightly.

He knew that his progress from the second to the third Tier would be rapid because his strength was overwhelming. At the same time, it was quite obvious that the Mysterious Flower of Opportunity and all the Essence crystals he had collected during the abyss-difficulty advancement mission were at 'fault' for the rapid increase in strength.

The Essence crystals of higher-tiered monsters were simply more valuable than those of Tier-2 monsters that were at the same rank and Tier.

However, that was only obvious.

"Well, even Tier-2 Essence crystals are quite powerful. Others can increase their stats by a few units for each Essence crystal of a monster that is of a much higher level than their own…" Dilan spoke to himself at this moment when he perceived all the Essence crystals inside his storage ring.

He could tell that all Essence crystals were either of monsters at the Peak of Tier-2 or that they were Tier-3 Essence crystals.

To others these Essence crystals might already be enough to reach the Peak of Tier-2 in terms of level and stats as well but it was far from enough for Dilan to attain his goal.

With that in mind, he continued to hunt monsters while continuously using [Switch] whenever the ability's cooldown had worn off, while repetitively using [Thunder Step], [Mantle of Elements], [Language Comprehension], and even [Second Acceleration].

Those were all the passive and active abilities Dilan's Essence crystal had bound to himself. [Mantle of Elements] could be used actively as well, only for [Language Comprehension] to have an extremely easy way to be upgraded.

Dilan could actively work toward the upgrades of [Language Comprehension] by studying other languages. There were a few languages that could be considered as the main languages on Milarn. Most people knew at least one of the main languages, but there were also hundreds of minor ones.

Learning all of them might be difficult under normal circumstances but Dilan's [Language Comprehension] was already a Tier-2 ★✭✭ ability, meaning that he could learn relatively easy languages at an even faster rate than others.

Sven and the others brought him a few books about various languages from various cities around Shiron, and the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord.

Thus, he could improve all his abilities while wondering what the hell he should do with his remaining five passive ability vacancies.

Dilan felt that he was already very well equipped with the abilities he possessed, whether they came from equipment, his occupation, his special traits, his Constitution or the abilities that were bound to his Essence Crystal.

Time passed quickly and Dilan's brain rattled continuously while he was fighting monsters. He slaughtered all the monsters he came across while disregarding their feelings entirely.

His mind felt as if it had broken into a thousand pieces for him to multitask properly but that didn't really work out as planned. It was still not bad but he began to bleed out of his eyes and nose when more than 72 hours passed without him receiving even a moment of sleep.

He had been inside the realm that was filled with countless monsters, the searing hot place where even the red earth felt like molten lava.

However, the final result was certainly worth it.

All his abilities had been upgraded a lot and the number of Essence crystals he had collected until now exceeded 3,000.

Yet, now that he had improved so much, Dilan would have to keep some monsters for the others. He could Level up and improve through different means if the 3,000 Essence crystals wouldn't enough.

"Let's sacrifice the corpses and buy a few Essence crystals to upgrade some parts of the Hyel Destructo armor," Dilan told himself and he left the Underworld realm by using the Realm Gate.

Dilan knew that the realm was probably not called the Underworld, but that was of no concern to him. His only issue was calling it by different names every single time someone spoke about it was annoying, so Dilan gave it a somewhat suitable name to make things easier.

Once he returned to Milarn, he ran to the Scorpio temple's top where he began collecting all the dead bodies and bones from around 3000 monsters.

Upon seeing the way he sacrificed a corpse of a once powerful monster after another, the Scorpionmen and tamed monsters were staring at Dilan in fear. The bloodlust that leaked from Dilan's body was fear-instilling and everyone realized clearly that they would have to pay heed to Dilan's commands if they wanted to survive.

They would have to follow his orders until they were able to summon one of their Elite forces, someone who was stronger than Dilan.

However, the Scorpionmen were not sure how long that would take and if Dilan's increase in strength would gradually slow down.

Little did they know that Dilan was already planning to become a Tier-3 existence and working hard to ensure that he would advance even faster than before!

[The host has received 184,560 Poison Points in exchange for sacrificing 2984 Monster corpses(No Essence crystal)]

Dilan was not sure if that was a lot or not at the beginning but exchanging all the Poison Points with Tier-3 and Tier-4 Essence crystals were quite a satisfying sight.

After working tirelessly for 72 hours, Dilan was dead-tired but he didn't even think about going to sleep.

He would rather buy a bunch of potions that would invigorate him than go to sleep right now, especially now that he felt happy because of all the gains he had made in the last few days.

"Who said that I will need 30 days to advance to Tier-3? If I continue like this, I won't even need two weeks!" Dilan exclaimed as he began to upgrade the first piece of the Hyel Destructo Armor set.

"Let's rise and shine, baby!"
