Undying Warlord

None of the Death Beatles gang members even thought about looking at the window on the first floor while they entered the building.

Every single member of the Death Beatles gang was quite nonchalant as they walked inside in a relaxed manner. They didn’t even consider that someone might attack them, let alone that it would be only one individual, who dared to go up against them.

Even Dilan felt that this was suicidal under normal circumstances.

He had yet to gain full control over every single Occupational ability he received, let alone the changes his other abilities had undergone.

But that was perfectly fine because Dilan could clearly feel that it was possible for him to activate [Berserk Mana] right now!

[Berserk Mana]

Cannot be activated at will! Certain conditions have to be met prior to activation.

Host has to be overflowing with rage, adrenaline, and the will to defeat his opponent by all means!

Host loses parts of his rational thinking in exchange for an alteration of his mana!

Potency of Mana 2x!

This ability was said to belong to active abilities. However, this didn’t seem correct to Dilan because it was an ability that didn’t require mana to be used, and it had an effect that could only be passively utilized.

But even then, Dilan had to activate it in order for the ability to unfold its true potential.

Berserk Mana was something Dilan had felt already once. However, at that time, it was his subconscious actions that had activated an inferior version of Berserk Mana.

He didn’t even have the ability at that time but somehow had still managed to use it. That was proof of how deep his anger had been that day.

The only downside Dilan didn’t really like was the part about ‘Host loses part of his rational thinking’.

This was something that may cost him his head, which was certainly not what Dilan wanted to happen.

Dilan was also hesitant to activate the [Berserk Mana] ability for a few seconds.

However, a part of his rational thinking’ indicated that he wouldn’t lose his entire control._-.

With that in mind and the fact that he needed to be in his peak state to fight the Death Beatles gang, he was ready to face his opponents with all his might.

Mere moments after he clenched his fist in determination, he opened the window and jumped down.

Dilan landed on the ground right in front of the building’s entrance with a loud thud.

It was loud enough to make all the gang members turn around. They were puzzled to see that a young man had appeared in their entrance with a crimson tinge gleaming in his ice-cold eyes.

[Berserk Mana] was activated and the mana within his body was sweeping through him, screaming to be released!

While Dilan’s entrance was rather abrupt and totally unexpected, most members of the Death Beatles gang were able to get over the surprise relatively quickly.

They held their weapon tightly while facing the mysterious young man, who had appeared behind them.

“Who are you, and what did you do to Mirko and the others?!!” Pyro’s angry voice resounded through the entire first floor as several balls of fire emerged around him.

Melanie was the first to notice that something was wrong. She could clearly sense that death was prowling around on the first floor.

As such, she informed Pyro about it the moment they had entered the building. It was only a second or two later that they found the puddle of blood that had soaked into a blanket.

It was almost as if the group, who had attacked their members in their absence, didn’t even try to cover up the crime scene.

But what confused them was that they saw no group but only one young man in his early 20s who was staring at them.

This astonished Pyro for a moment, but his surprise quickly turned into rage because he could clearly tell that the four Ascenders he had patiently nurtured had died.

They had been Tier-1 existences, even though weak ones which told him that the unknown man standing in front of him was not to be messed with.

Pyro took note of this subtle warning and calmed down after taking a moment to accept the fact that his people had died.

He merely looked at Dilan while trying to assess his strength who suddenly announced,

“You obviously know what happened to these scums. Don’t bother trying to find out my name…I don’t feel like wasting my time by telling my name to someone, who is about to die!”

The moment Dilan’s eerily cold voice echoed through the room, a thunderous sound emerged from the depths of his body.

Dense currents of electricity shrouded Dilan’s feet, crackling on the stone foundation he walked on.

At first, he took a single step to test out how much the [Thunder Step] ability had been enhanced, and how high his Agility had increased to.

But the moment Dian took his second step, he blasted his body forward, crossing more than five meters in an instant.

He emerged right in front of the first opponent and pulled back the Gray Slayer to intimidate the young woman, making a big show of how he was about to slice her into two.

However, just then Dilan disappeared in front of her. It was as if he had never existed and just had been a figment of the imagination of the Death Beatles gang.

Only a gust of wind splashed the face of the woman in the front, and the gang members right next to her.

“I’m here, and now die!”

Dilan utilized [Gale] once to cross the distance of ten meters in the blink of an eye.

While his speed was already shocking, Gale provided a slight boost to his highly enhanced speed.

Being able to disappear from the sight of his opponents was simply too powerful, after all!

He had emerged on the left side of the room, right next to the farthest gang member, who had been looking at the building entrance.

The man, who was barely in his mid-20s, flinched the moment he sensed Dilan’s presence right next to him.

However, even before he could do more than cower in fright, the saber Dilan held began to glow in bright white light.

Using 10 Units of Mana at once, [Mana Slash] was activated at once. His Berserk Mana was compressed in Gray Slayer before Dilan massacred his way through the huge crowd of 200 Ascenders without hesitation.

Due to his Agility which reached nearly 70 Units at this moment, Dilan’s slash was merely a blur and appeared like an invisible wind blade to everyone in Dilan’s range.

The Mana Slash, on the contrary, was something everyone was able to see as it manifested the moment Dilan finished his saber slash.

He had inflicted a deep horizontal gash on the opponent in front of him. This created the biggest threat to all Ascenders in his range and even behind him.

While the Ascender right in front of Dilan had been sliced apart by the Gray Slayer, the Mana Slash took a moment to be fully unleashed.

However, after it was unleashed, the lethality of the Mana Slash was unveiled.

It penetrated the skin, flesh, organs and bones of his opponents, and Dilan’s eyes gleamed brightly when he saw the dozens of humans that died at his hands.

He didn’t feel the slightest bit of remorse for having killed any of them.

Instead, it was a relief to know that dozens of scums had been obliterated and that they would never be able to harm others again.

The Mana Slash used with 10 Units of Berserk Mana had roughly the same lethality as the one Dilan had initiated at the supermarket using 20 Units of mana.

‘It really doubles my Mana’s potential,’ Dilan could barely think, while his mind kept being invaded by the thought of going on a killing spree.

His mind was telling him to charge at the group of Ascenders, and to kill them with his brute force, and terrifyingly high Agility.

Even if it was possible for Pyro and Melanie to have higher basic stats than him, Dilan was certain that [Thunder Step] utilized with Berserk Mana was more than enough for him to overpower every single existence around him!

However, that was merely something he thought owing to the side-effects of utilizing Berserk Mana- the loss of his sense of reasoning!

In a battle of life-and-death stats were only one factor to determine which side would emerge victorious.

Another one was one’s wits and the proper use of one’s abilities.

While Dilan had the highest stats in the room, it was also advantageous for him to show that he was merciless and that he would kill all of them the moment they made a single mistake.

By clearly demonstrating his superior brute force, speed, and that he had powerful abilities gave him a huge advantage over everyone else.

But even then, Dilan was not the only one with abilities.

Rather, he was still facing more than 150 Tier-1 Ascenders! Each of them wielded more than two abilities, and each of the abilities could injure or restrict Dilan.

Some of the gang members were also tasked with the sole purpose of supporting their teammates to strengthen them.

As such, Dilan could tell that his upper hand would diminish within seconds as long as the others were able to regain their senses.

Dilan’s sudden appearance and merciless attack astonished most gang members.

However, Pyro and Melanie were relatively unfazed and were not as frazzled as the rest of their gang.

Several fireballs were already shot at Dilan, while Melanie’s eyes gleamed brightly as she disappeared from Dilan’s sight.

‘Where did she go?!’

Dilan was slightly astonished. He was certain that none of the Death Beatles gang members owned some sort of treasure similar to the Aeris’ leather boots.

This meant that Melanie was able to disappear with the use of an ability.

But even then, Dilan was not able to sense anything.

Just when he furrowed his eyebrows, Dilan’s body instinctively turned around. He had sensed Melanie’s sudden approach and was about to lift his saber to deflect the daggers that were suddenly pierced at him.

Melanie’s Agility was extremely high, but the sudden attack from behind was even more astonishing.

It had allowed her to disappear from her spot location, just to appear right behind Dilan.

Fortunately, Dilan’s instincts were heightened to the peak of his capabilities, allowing him to turn around before anything could happen.

He lifted Gray Slayer to block her attack before lifting his leg to kick her hard and push her away.

While he was busy fending off her attack the fireballs fired by Pyro were about to hit Dilan.

Gritting his teeth, Dilan began to curse in his head, only for a large blue shield to emerge out of nowhere.

It appeared right in front of Dilan’s left hand which he extended forward as if he wanted to deflect the incoming attacks.

[Aegis Shield]!

Dilan activated the third and last active occupational ability, blocking all attacks that were fired at him.

The fireballs’ impact weighed down on Dilan, preventing him from moving as fast as he wanted to.

Initially, he had planned on attacking Melanie and killing the most threatening woman he had faced as an opponent in an instant.

However, that plan failed miserably. The situation grew even worse as Dilan saw that all Ascenders rushed toward him.

Some of them used different types of long-range elemental attacks to keep attacking the Aegis’ shield.

Everyone wanted to kill Dilan with their own bare hands. After all, he had barged into their home and killed nearly 30 Ascenders within a single second.

How could they allow him to survive, let alone escape?

Yet, just when everyone thought that it was already over as the onslaught of fireballs and other attacks reached him, the smoke the attacks had created dissipated, revealing everything.

However, this ‘everything’ was a merely burned floor, nothing else!

Dilan had disappeared without leaving behind a single trace of mana.

Only a groan of pain revealed the location he had emerged at as six Ascenders succumbed to the gray blade that cut through his opponents as if a hot knife would slice through butter.
