Undying Warlord

Chapter 189 Annoying Bitch



To have Mason by his side was certainly not planned and it made things more difficult for Dilan.

However, after handing Mason a specific treasure he received from exchanging Silver Tier-1 Essence crystals at the large Gate, Dilan was able to regain his composure.

[Instantaneous Teleportation Scroll] <Silver Tier-1> Treasure

One-time use.

Anchor for teleportation has to be set up before.

Teleportation cannot exceed 1,000 Meters!

Even if they were to land in trouble, Mason would be able to escape, lifting a huge burden off Dilan’s chest that would allow him to go all-out.

Like this, nothing would go wrong.

The Instantaneous Teleportation Scroll was the only reason why Dilan allowed Mason to follow him, to begin with.

Mason understood this as well, which was why he held tightly onto the scroll with one hand.

He hid it in his thick jacket while holding a spear in his other hand. If one were to look at Mason from afar, they would definitely think of him as an Inuit.

With Mason next to him, Dilan felt a little bit less stressed than before but that was mostly owed to the youth’s non-stop talkative nature.

Since Dilan had accepted his company, Mason’s prior timid behavior had changed completely.

However, even Mason was not able to keep his act together when they reached the range of the Sun temple.-.

After setting up the teleportation anchor for Mason to escape if necessary, they made their way into the small town that surrounded the Sun temple.

For the Ligrav and Rasnian it was not weird to meet humans anymore. Rather, they were quite familiar with them after the constant stream of humans had entered the Sun temple one after another to offer the monster corpses.

Despite their familiarity with other humans, everyone tensed up a little upon perceiving Dilan’s presence once again.

Some recalled him as the first human to enter their town and to make a sacrifice to Sun God Valgard’s Divinity fragment.

They clearly remembered his presence from before as well.

Dilan’s strength didn’t seem to have increased by leaps and bounds. He had definitely grown stronger but it was still within the realms of an ordinary life form, or so they believed.

However, what astonished most Ligrav was the eerie calmness that surrounded Dilan.

It was not long ago that Dilan’s entire existence gave off the desire for blood, clearly telling everyone that he was proficient in killing his opponent, and that he would not hesitate to kill them if they tried going against him.

But now, one couldn’t even assess the true might of the young and determined man and most ordinary Ligrav and Rasnian could only make assumptions about his strength.

This was even scarier than knowing Dilan’s bloody aura because an unknown and well-hidden powerhouse was the most dangerous.

A concealed and sheathed sword would only unleash its true potential when unsheathed. Meanwhile a bloodied saber exposed everything.

Dilan continued to walk towards the Sun temple and didn’t even halt to wait for someone to welcome him, or to get him the goods he had ordered.

Instead, he walked up the stairs to approach the Divinity Fragment.

Contrary to before he entered the proximity of the Sun temple when he had been a bit nervous because of Mason, Dilan’s mind and heart were eerily cold now. Mason noticed that Dilan’s behavior had changed and that he was fully focused on his task ahead.

Admiration gleamed in the young man’s eyes after seeing how focused Dilan was and that nothing seemed to be able to ruffle his feathers.

‘He is so amazing!!’ Mason could only think, momentarily forgetting about the excitement that filled his heart after seeing so many beings of other races.

To Mason, Dilan was no less than a hero of the old legends.

He might seem cruel occasionally but Dilan was always doing his best for others.

Mason didn’t even think that Dilan was doing everything for his own sake. On the contrary, Mason was sure that Dilan tried everything in his power to better the lives of his fellow survivors…the fellow humans that were not as strong-willed, determined and powerful as him.

Dilan tried to ignore Mason’s stare as he kept advancing to the cone-shaped building on top of the Sun temple.

He had already perceived that a few powerful beings were located there, which he presumed to be the two Eternal Guards and Priestess Brashta.

‘As expected…oh…wait…a third and fourth Eternal Guard??’

When Dilan climbed the last stair to reach the Sun temple’s large top, the first thing Dilan noticed was that four Eternal Guards stood behind the Priestess.

It didn’t look like the Eternal Guards, whom Dilan knew from before, had gotten stronger. Each of the four Eternal Guards was stronger than one of the Inferior Two-headed Hydrani he had killed earlier.

Dilan even presumed that it would take two Inferior Two-headed Hydrani to hold back one of the Eternal Guards, even if it was only for a minute or two.

Mason felt that his entire existence was being pushed to the ground by an invisible force the moment he encountered the noble-looking robe that was worn by an arrogant looking Ligrav. This particular Ligrav seemed to be looking down on Dilan and him, and the pressure the four Eternal Guards created.

Though Dilan began to smile faintly, his heart began to race.

Even if he didn’t want to acknowledge it, he…wanted to fight the Eternal Guards.

However, for now, he had to calm down because he knew that it was not a good time to spar with someone else, let alone to enter a life and death battle.

‘Who knows what kind of hidden tricks they have up their sleeves. I’m in their territory, right below their God’s Divinity Fragment. Hold your horses dude!’

Dilan forced himself to calm down. He was still worried about various things, but also excited to see that there were four Eternal Guards.

His worries and excitement were a weird mixture and they revolved around an equally weird person. Dilan was pretty sure that his emotions were usually not like this but the warmth that radiated from the Sun God’s Divinity Fragment prevented him from being able to think straight.

“Brave Warrior of the human race, what is your reason for wanting to exchange all your Sacred points so soon? Don’t you feel the need to save up more to purchase rarer goods or possibly a powerful slave?”

Priestess Breshta didn’t waste her time greeting Dilan. She had gotten more than enough information to understand that they had an upper hand over the human race.

As long as the winter season would end, it was possible for the believers of the Sun God to expand their influence, to kill everyone who obstructed their sacred mission, and enslave the sinners!

Everyone who worked against them would be annihilated, without a single exception!

All of this was more than enough reason for the Priestess to talk to Dilan with a slightly angered and disappointed tone as she stressed on the words ‘all your Sacred Points so soon’.

‘As expected, she has figured it out. Well, it’s not like I tried to hide my intention, to begin with.’

Dilan’s expression didn’t change at all even after hearing the trace of hostility in Priestess Breshta’s voice.

He expected everything that had happened up to this point, which was why he was ready to deliver a ‘plausible’ explanation.

“Esteemed Priestess, you’re correct. I would love to save up more Sacred Points to purchase even better goods. In fact, I have already chosen to purchase several Slaves because their unique characteristics would be extremely helpful for our entire group.

There are also mighty Tier-1 abilities and unique Tier-1 treasures I wished to purchase but unfortunately I’m not alone in the group.

As you might be able to deduce from my purchases, I focused on purchasing various ability crystals, including several treasures, and even a Tier-1 Storage ring…all of that just to increase our group’s strength.

Maybe you have figured it out already but my group is truly weak. We have only a few powerful Ascenders, which is why it was possible for us to kill so many large groups of monsters in the past five days.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to accumulate so many Sacred Points. I hope the reason for the noticeable improvement of my group’s combat prowess is enough to calm you, Miss Brashta.

It was a mere coincidence that I used the Sacred Points up without leaving a single one for future use!”

Dilan was already acting as if he could fully understand Priestess Brashta’s anger. He attempted to pacify her by revealing a few semi-true facts.

In the end, he needed to strengthen his people and everything he purchased was for the sake of becoming stronger, whether it was for him, the strongest combat focused Ascenders in his group or the other occupations that had to be nurtured as well.

There was no lie in his words, which was why Dilan could still hope to escape the worse-case scenario as long as he could trick her.

Priestess Brashta looked at him for several seconds before she reached for the pocket in her robe. A small ring appeared in her hand.

The ring seemed to have been made out of granite or some similar colored stone. It was nothing special but Dilan could clearly sense that it was the ring he wanted.

‘A storage ring…did she really believe what I said? Does she trust me that much?’ Dilan was confused for a moment.

But in order to keep the charade up, Dilan stretched his hand out to reach for the storage ring. He had yet to ascertain that it was truly a storage ring and that everything he had purchased was stored within.

It was difficult for Dilan to keep his heart under control but it didn’t thump as wildly as he expected the moment he grasped the ring. A faint smile appeared on his lips while holding the storage ring, which was only obvious.

Everyone would feel exhilarated after getting hold of an invaluable treasure, after all.

However, the moment Dilan tried retracting his hand, Brashta’s hand enveloped his hand, preventing him from moving.

“Oh, by the way…why did you create a teleportation anchor point roughly 900 meters away from the Sun God’s temple? Say…are you scared??”

All of a sudden, the Priestess’ eyes seemed to turn into blazing flames as she stared in the depth of Dilan’s eyes. Her hand holding the storage ring suddenly erupted in flames, scorching Dilan’s skin, while the Eternal Guards unsheathed their weapon in unison.

‘What an annoying bitch…how frustrating.’
