Undying Warlord

A small Desert Fox, the size of a large cat was lying dead in the young Ascender's arms.

"A sly mutated animal with a spatial affinity was the perpetrator." Dilan could merely say before he sighed deeply.

He didn't waste too much of his time with the Desert Fox. Dilan stored its corpse inside his storage ring before he turned away once again.

When he left the crime scene, Dilan left behind a dumbfounded young Ascender and numerous survivors, whose gaze was glued to his back, following every step he took.

"He is amazing…so sexy." One of the Survivors couldn't help but blurt out. She realized only a moment later that she had spoken out loud and blushed.

However, no one reprimanded her because she was right. Dilan was amazing. One could clearly see that he was not in his best condition and was still exhausted.

Yet, like a ninja warrior, he had appeared in front of the young Ascender, who was about to be attacked and killed, to save him before leaving as if he did nothing special.

Almost none of the Survivors inside the bus had seen Dilan move. But for those few, who had been able to perceive some of his motions, they were truly baffled because he was faster than even the fastest Ascender they had seen until now.

"Yeah, he is." A young child yelled out in excitement, feeling reassured with Dilan by his side.

The mother of the young kid caressed his hair before nodding her head as well.

Dilan was truly amazing…and sexy.

But the amazing and sexy Dilan, who they kept praising for a long time even after he left them, didn't even know what was going on.

He had returned to the others with a calm expression, while they could only look at him in confusion.

"What did you do? We heard some screams and were just about to come over to take a look…"

Still tired from the incidents of the last 48 hours, and lack of sleep, Williams had required a little bit longer to react.

That was why they had not followed suit and reached the origin of the commotion that happened less than half a minute ago.

Dilan took longer to return to them than to kill the Spatial Desert Fox, but he simply waved off his hand that was smeared with some blood.

"I took care of the problem you guys had with the perpetrator from yesterday. By the way, what were we talking about before I left? About building a base in Shiron, and my opinion about that, right?"

The others merely nodded their heads, without saying anything else.

Xenia was slightly baffled that Dilan had resolved the issue they hadn't been able to solve the day before, while Yvonne and Oliver, who had approached them just a moment ago, looked at Dilan with interest.

"Are we going to stay in Shiron? Seems like a good idea. There are many Gates in the surrounding area, and if other people hear about a safety zone in Shiron, they might even try to migrate from other cities to follow us." Yvonne said with lots of enthusiasm.

She liked the idea of staying in Shiron. It felt correct to her. Meanwhile, Oliver was not sure what to think about the idea of building a base in Shiron.

There were numerous reasons for staying but also for leaving, so he couldn't actually decide what would be best for them. That was why he looked at Dilan, expecting him to state his opinion as they made their way towards Shiron to get some gasoline.

"We can take a look at the situation in Shiron while refilling gasoline. As long as there are not too many powerful monsters, but a place we can turn into a smithy, and a place that is easy to protect, even at the risk of facing powerful monster attacks, we should reconsider staying in Shiron."

Dilan didn't want to make a mistake now. Everyone was tensed up and it was quite obvious that the Survivors wouldn't be able to stay calm inside the buses for a long time.

They needed to start building a new base, not only to calm the others but also not to fall behind too much.

It was necessary for all of them to keep progressing, to never stop, and to build some sort of society where they could live decently.

However, in order to do so, they needed a suitable place to start building up their base that would act as the center of their small territory.

That was why Dilan had to find the best possible location to set up a base as soon as possible.

It didn't take their group long before they left the highway to approach Shiron.

Many monsters entered everyone's view but none of them released the same pressure as the Inferior Two-headed Hydrani.

Yvonne was confident to be able to defeat the monsters in their sight without any difficulties.

The other powerful Ascenders were also certain about their capabilities to be stronger than the monsters in their surroundings.

Not a single group of monsters attacked them on their way to the small city, but the slightly odd fact was that many monsters paid lots of attention to them.

The Ascenders were ready to fight but the monsters acted as if they didn't sense the battle lust of their opponents.

After observing the group of Ascenders and the rest of the group for some time, the monsters left once again.

"There are definitely a few monsters with higher intelligence. If they can send out scouts to gather information, they shouldn't be dumb or too weak."

Dilan didn't think highly of monsters. Most of them were extremely weak and didn't have a high combat power. Their perception of battles was, in most cases, blurred by their wild instincts.

Thus, they would usually die rather stupidly at his hands.

However, it would be foolish to disregard their intelligence as well. The Spatial Desert Fox was a good example to show that underestimating some mutated animals would result in the death of his people.

The others hadn't been able to defeat the Spatial Desert Fox, resulting in the death of many good men and women.

"Tell the others to make notes about the monsters who observe us and for how long they observe us. If they notice anything else, report that to me as well."

This command had confused some Ascenders at first. But the threat posed by the Spatial Desert Fox was still fresh in their mind, so they complied without a doubt.

Everyone was tense as they entered the city. The Survivors were unable to keep their calm as they expected the buses to get attacked by ferocious monsters at any moment.

On the other hand, most Ascenders were not afraid of the surrounding monsters. They had Dilan and the others by their side. Rather than fearing monsters, it was humans and other evil Ascenders who were far more dangerous, and problematic to deal with.

However, that was something many were bound to find out sooner or later.

If they wanted to or not didn't matter. As long as they wanted to survive, fighting against other Ascenders…human Ascenders was not something they could avoid forever!
