Undying Warlord

Creating a proper plan about what they should do with the Dragon Temple was certainly not easy.

They had to consider the possibility of the Dragon Temple being something advantageous like the Scorpio Temple. The Undying Group could grow stronger at a shocking pace using both the Realm Gate that led to the Blood Monarch's Instance Dungeon and the Scorpio Temple.

The Shop of the Scorpio Temple had been very useful and the Scorpionmen had come to an agreement with Sven and the other humans of the Undying Group.

Dilan didn't have to force the Scorpionmen into submission anymore or pressure them to make sure that they wouldn't attack his people, which was a huge relief. The Scorpionmen had gained a lot from all the sacrifices humans made to gain Poison Points.

With that in mind, they would rather have a win-win situation than be oppressed by Dilan, or attempt to eradicate the Undying Group. If they were to annihilate the Undying group and kill Dilan as well, they were bound to incur losses that couldn't be made up in a short period.

All their plans would fail miserably and that had to be prevented by all means.

Nobody could say if the chances of creating a similar relation with the Drakins as they had with the Scorpionmen were high but the chance was definitely there.

Unfortunately, the same could be said about the exact opposite. It was not unlikely that the Drakins would attempt to oppress the Undying Group, or exploit them. The Dragon Temple could turn out to be the same or even worse than the Sun Temple had been.

This would be rather annoying and Dilan wanted to avoid such a troublesome situation if possible.

He had so many things to pay attention to that he could only think of making sure that his Undying group wouldn't be bothered by the Dragon Temple in any way.

Thus, they came up with a specific plan that made everyone feel relieved to a certain degree.

"Are you sure that there will be enough water?" Kathrine asked in the group. She was currently the most skeptical about the given plan. Her worry was clearly visible but Dilan could only shrug his shoulders.

"I have no idea but that's the best plan we could come up with in such a short time, don't you think?" Dilan responded after a second.

Their plan was to use the humongous crater that had once been Shiron to let the Dragon Temple emerge there. Dilan would face whatever would happen once the Dragon Temple had been fully constructed without anyone by his side.

With the possibility to use the environment that had been created due to the Meteor shower domain, Sven had come up with the idea to use the Orb of Mantras for the first time if something were to go wrong.

One of the stored mantras was called [Deep Sea Tsunami], and they were in possession of certain Magic Scrolls that were directly related to highly potent poison that was the strongest when diluted with alkaline Deep Sea water.

They didn't have any aquatic biologists in the Undying Group, which made things a little bit more difficult because they had to come up with the best possible plan to potentially eradicate the Dragon Temple if something were to go wrong.

Alkaline toxicity though rare could cause lots of medical issues. Their group wanted to make use of this by using the Mantra [Deep Sea Tsunami]. In most oceans, pH decreased the deeper one went. Afterward, it would either stabilize at a certain degree or increase gradually as the depth increased.

There was no specific description when it came to the Deep Sea Tsunami Mantra but all of them hoped that the water was highly alkaline and fit for the poison-type Magic Scrolls in their possession as their potency increased the higher the ph!

"It's a good plan if we were to face the worst-case scenario… I'm just worried that something will go wrong…again…" Kathrine worried at her lip but Dilan just smiled. He patted Kathrine's head gently before he stepped back once again.

"I don't think that anything bad will happen. Even if it does, Shiron is far enough from you guys. I won't die, either way, so you guys should pay attention to yourself and focus on increasing your strength rather than worrying about me!" Dilan suggested.

He turned around and headed outside the office, ready to go all in when he saw that a young woman from the Trading Hub came running over.

She was holding a storage ring and handed it over to Dilan after she gave him a shy smile.

"All Essence crystals we have in the Trading Hub are inside there. I hope that they are enough," The woman spoke slowly while trying to control her racing heart.

Dilan smiled lightly at her before he accessed the storage ring. What awaited him inside the storage space of the ring were countless Essence crystals that could be used as a catalyst to activate the Orb of Mantras.

They could use the Essence of the Essence crystals to replace the Mana of ten thousand Ascenders, which made it a lot easier to activate the Orb of Mantras.

He didn't have to bring his Ascenders everywhere to use the Orb of Mantras in that case!

"They should be enough, thanks for bringing them over!" Dilan said before he turned back to the small batch of higher-ups from his group. He saw the worry lining their faces but he didn't say anything in return.

Instead, Dilan merely turned to the front again before he went his way. There was not much he had to say, either way.

Thus, he left the Sanctum and he rushed back to Shiron, where a humongous crater awaited him. Dilan jumped down to the center of the crater and he put down the tiny black heart whose heartbeat had accelerated drastically.

[Does the host desire to erect the Dragon Temple at the current location?] A system notification appeared in front of Dilan but he didn't give his permission right away.

There was a lot of time left before his time would run out and Dilan wanted to make use of every single second of it.

Lots of monsters had emerged from Gates near the Shiron crater. Hunting them could be quite advantageous to get a few more Essence crystals, increase his stats a little bit, and so on.

With more than half an hour left, Dilan could set himself up to make sure that everything would go according to his plan. At the first sight of danger, he would use the Orb of Mantras to activate the Mantra [Deep Sea Tsunami] and kill everything in the vicinity.

The amount of water should be more than enough to fill the entire crater, turn it into a sea and cover the Dragon Temple.

At least that was what they'd planned to do before adding some highly potent poison created with the use of high-tiered Magic Scrolls.

With that in mind, Dilan hunted various monsters for the next half an hour before he set up his storage ring. He tested a few things and made sure that everything would work out smoothly before he waited for the last minutes on the timer to be over.

"I hope that you guys like humans, that's for your own sake!"
