Undying Warlord

“Well, I’m excited about the future?” He answered with a shrug, not going into detail.

Dilan tried not to look excited or as if he was anticipating something because they had just lost 30ish brave Ascenders. This was a great loss for the Undying group and he would seem inconsiderate and like a jerk if he, as the leader of the Undying group, wouldn’t act even the slightest remorseful for the losses.

He knew that he had to become a good leader but that was much harder than one could think. It was truly difficult but Dilan gave his best.

He calmed his wildly beating heart and went to offer his condolences to the families of the brave Ascenders who had died valiantly today to protect Shiron and their dream.

There weren’t many Ascenders, who had reunited with their families after the Primordial Ascension, which was why Dilan chose to give his condolences to their friends and lovers as well.

Everyone, who lost someone dear to them cried bitterly, but they felt oddly consoled by the simple words Dilan said to them.

Their leader had especially walked up to them to share their pain. This was not something many had expected because everyone knew that he had a lot to do.

Dilan’s schedule was filled to the brim, especially since Dilan was one of the Ascenders, who was amongst the first batch of people to enter the new Gates. It was important to enter the Gates to procure more resources that would be used to replenish the goods they had used up.

Numerous disposable weapons, such as Arrows, Blazing Molotov Daggers, and so on had been used today.

In fact, the most used item had been the Blazing Molotov Daggers and the [Anchor Teleportation] Magic Scrolls.

They had been quickly bought from the shop <Taurus, the Mighty> in exchange for more than 5000 Dungeon Points. The expense had been worth it but it was also apparent that they had to make up for all kinds of losses.

With the use of the whetstones, many weapons that shouldn’t have been sharp enough to cut through the Vampires had been sharpened sufficient to inflict serious wounds.

This was exceptional and Dilan took note of that knowledge to tweak his plans once again.

He was still at Level 14, even if his stats were much higher than most Tier-2 existences, and by absorbing all the Blood Essences and the Essence crystals of the Vampires and Monsters he killed in the battle of the Four Clans, they increased further.

[84 <Gold> Essences of Tier-1 Monsters(Vampirish Sabertooth tigers, Vampirish Nebula Tigresses,….) have been absorbed→ +0.3 Strength, +0.1(0.3) Health, +0.1 Stamina]

[The Host’s Health stat reached the limited threshold of a Tier-1 existence! Congratulations!]

[9 <Bronze>, and 3 <Silver> Blood Essences have been absorbed→+1.4 Strength, +0.9 Stamina, +5.3 Agility, +4.1 Mana]

[14 <Purified> Blood Essences have been absorbed→ +3.1 Strength, +4.4 Stamina, +3(5.8) Agility, +4.9 Mana]

[The Host’s Agility stat reached the limited threshold of a Tier-1 existence! Congratulations!]

It was not difficult to find out which Essence crystals and Blood Essences belonged to Dilan. In most cases, he was the only one, who had touched the existences he killed. Thus, nobody apart from him could claim the Essences and Blood Essences of the existences he had killed.

This made things a lot easier for him and it saved lots of time.

Meanwhile, the other Ascenders didn’t have it as easy as him. There were occasionally five or more Ascenders, who had attacked a Vampire, which meant that each of them was eligible to claim their loot.

Blood Essences and Essence crystals couldn’t be shared. This made things a bit more difficult, and why a few bodyguards were required.

Everyone was emotionally unstable right now, which was why many Ascenders were likely to get angry because of small things. This was something that was bound to happen after every battle, especially since the Ascenders of the Undying group were supposed to become stronger.

Dilan knew that handling emotions was a difficult thing since absorbing Essences made one more sensitive to emotions but he believed that everything would be fine as long as he had enough Ascenders, who paid attention to the entire situation.

He nodded his head in satisfaction at what he saw before he finally averted his focus to his Log of the Ancient to figure out what kind of plan would be the closest to perfection.

After Dilan invested some time in his Log of the Ancient, he could tell that he had to invest more time in his Passive abilities.

Not only were there still 4 unused slots, but his passive abilities, other than [Language comprehension] were quite low.

[Language comprehension] was not of immediate importance right now as well, which meant that every single useful passive ability was not at its best.

However, Dilan could only change the grade and Tier of [Immunity] for the time being because its upgrade requirements were known.

As for [Nightvision], Dilan had a few ideas on how he could unveil the upgrade requirements but it was certainly not easy.

Dilan didn’t think too much about his active abilities. The only active ability that created a powerful offensive attack was [Mana Slash]. Every other ability was either to increase his stats, make use of his high stats, and reallocate them or to defend him.

He knew that his focus was on assessing his stats, but that was fine because his stats had always been pretty high.

This made things a lot easier but also confusing, especially since he felt that his Health stats were higher than an ordinary Tier-2 existence could reach.

“My Stamina stat is still the lowest,” Dilan figured, feeling slightly annoyed, but he discarded his annoyance because it was useless at the moment.

“With my high Health stat, my Stamina replenishes faster and it decreases at a much slower rate as well. That means I don’t really have to focus on my Stamina. It will increase the more Essences I absorb, either way.

My Mana will soon reach the limit of a Tier-1 existence with the Cursed Blessing [Will of the Primordial] as well… that’s pretty great!” Dilan mumbled to himself when he finished talking to the loved ones of the last dead ascender and offered his condolences.

He hoped that his group would grow stronger because of the losses they faced today. Everyone’s stats were supposed to have increased by a few Units, which would elevate their progress quite a bit.

However, a few Units were not enough to make a big difference in future battles. Only Dilan and a few others were able to create a big difference with the stats they received from defeating dozens of powerful Vampires, which increased their stats much more than others received.

And that was where Dilan’s plan began.

He had received many stats, and he wanted to make use of these stats as long as he was still at Level 14!
