Undying Warlord

Dilan was actually not worried about Felia and the Soldiers. Most of them were quite nice and they quickly found people to connect with.

Quite a few Survivors and Ascenders were interested in switching to the Blue Star camp. Dilan knew that some were not willing to stay under him, to listen to his orders, or to those who were with him.

This was fine with him, and in fact, he would feel relieved if such people chose to leave them.

The loss of Tier-1 Ascenders might be a little bit frustrating because they would have to fill that gap and nourish newer ones again. However, that was not much of a difficulty.

"I will go hunt in the Mountain ring of the Elements Gate," Dilan announced before leaving everyone behind.

The Elite Combat Unit was more than enough to hold Felia and the Soldiers in check if something were to happen.

This gave him more than enough freedom to do whatever he wanted, which was exactly what he did.

"Okay…" Felia could only mumble, feeling a little bit dumbfounded that Dilan had already turned and left.

His speed was extremely high and he leaped over the huge fence as if it was no problem.

However, instead of being interested in Dilan's actual strength and how high his stats were, Felia was more intrigued about other things.

'Are Gates that interesting? Did he become so strong because of them? I don't think so…'

While Felia's gaze followed Dilan until he disappeared behind a large building complex, Kathrine's eyes narrowed as she stared at the little Soldier Captain.

"Calm down, Sis. You don't need to eat her alive. Dilan is not interested in her, at all. You can keep him all for yourself…for now." Yvonne teased, laughing cheekily upon seeing her sister's reaction.

Kathrine blushed when she heard Yvonne's comment. Her head turned to the ground as if it was fascinating and tiptoed on her feet, just to get back to her senses when she heard several men and women around her laughing heartily.

Her sister, Ailee, Sarah, Williams, and Sven joined in the laughter and were quite amused at Kathrine's reaction. She looked cute while trying to act coy and innocent.

It was interesting to see this side of her because her fighting persona was the complete opposite of her actual behavior.

Kathrine fought in a brutal manner, using her Lightning Warrior occupation to the fullest. That was why her shyness was a nice change.

"Wait…Yvonne. Why did you stress on the words, 'for now'?" Sarah suddenly asked. She had noticed the weird way Yvonne had uttered the word immediately. However, before pointing it out, Sarah wanted to see if someone else had noticed it too, and how Kathrine would react to it.

Yet, when Sarah saw that Yvonne began to smile with her eyes gleaming brightly as if she was scheming something grand, her hair stood up on its ends.

'She is…noo, that won't be the case, right? Kathrine already likes Dilan.' She could only think while awaiting Yvonne's answer.

"Who knows. Dilan is quite popular, which is only obvious." Yvonne merely said before shrugging her shoulders and turning her head away.

"We have other things to do. Let's not waste our time here."

That being said, she left the group which she had baffled a little bit. Only Kathrine was oblivious to what was going on as her mind was still overwhelmed with what Yvonne had said.

'Keep him all for myself? Is that even possible?' She thought at first, only to slap each side of her cheeks hard.

"What am I even thinking?!'' Kathrine exclaimed all of a sudden, startling the others before she dashed away.

'Do I like him? Noo…I'm just feeling grateful for everything he did. Exactly! That's it…'

Her mind was in disarray and she could not stop running. After she couldn't run anymore, she stopped and ended up in front of a large group of monsters.

They were Bronze Tier-1 monsters, who were at a lower level than Kathrine and with much lower average stats.

For Kathrine, their strength was not noteworthy. That was why she unsheathed her Silver Tier-1 longsword before entering the fray.

"Distract me a little bit, little doggos!" Kathrine shouted out before blasting toward the huge group of Crimson Wolves. The beasts had just emerged out of the Gate that had appeared less than a minute before Kathrine had arrived.

Her body was shrouded in electric currents all of a sudden and her eyes turned purple. Kathrine's stats had been amplified and each of her attacks was accompanied by the power of lightning as she slashed out with precision.

Her movements were smooth and there was no wasted step in her motions. The Crimson wolves died at her hand before they could even react.

With her Agility exceeding 40 units easily after her stats had been amplified, Kathrine ended the lives of the Crimson Wolves in front of her in a matter of minutes.

Kathrine was not a killing machine and neither overly fast at killing her opponents. But what she was good at was controlling the electric currents crackling around her, and turning them into bolts of lightning.

This was more than enough to make it seem as if she was like a flash of lightning herself that would pass through her opponents before they collapsed on the ground, and met their deaths.

"Well, that was some good stress relief," Kathrine mumbled the moment the last Crimson Wolf died at her hands.

Only then did she notice the Gate that was just a few dozen meters away from her.

'Another permanent Gate? I should note that down.'

She approached the Gate and was ready to make a mental note about everything it would say.

[Temporary Gate to (Wild Varan Oceanside). Requirements to enter are not met! -All Stats- 45]

"Oh…just a temporary Gate. Well then, it doesn't actually matter…" She mumbled before her head turned to the Crimson Wolf corpses and back to the Gate.

'Well, why not?'

An idea popped in her mind, and she quickly collected the Crimson Wolves' Essence crystals, and absorbed four for herself before the remaining Essence crystals were thrown inside the temporary Gate in exchange for a Bronze Tier-1 treasure.

[<Bronze Tier-1> grade treasure can be exchanged with 50 <Bronze Tier-1> Essence crystals of the same type.]

The exchange rate was quite high but they had already researched that a higher exchange rate indicated a higher potential of receiving rare treasures.

This was as per Kathrine's liking, and the moment she received the Bronze Tier-1 treasure, her hands began to tremble, while her heart began to palpate wildly as she exclaimed in joy.

"Oh my gosh. That is amazing. Dilan will love it!!"

Holding a piece of parchment in her hands, Kathrine read through it while beaming. Not wanting to waste any time, she rushed back to the base and searched for Dilan.

'Oh, right. He is still away.' Kathrine quickly realized, and the wide grin disappeared from her face, plummeting her great mood instantly.

She knew that the parchment she held was still exceptional and more than enough to make everyone happy.

However, even then, Kathrine didn't feel like sharing her knowledge with anyone else but Dilan.

At least, he had to find out the good news first.

That was the most important thing in her mind, right now, not the treasure she got her hands on.

Unfortunately, Yvonne saw her sister when she returned, and the parchment in her hands attracted the little sister's attention.

"Kathrineeee, what are you holding there?" Yvonne asked excitedly as her bewitching and cute voice resounded through the hall.

A moment later, she disappeared from her earlier spot to appear right in front of Kathrine.

Black feathered wings had emerged out of her back and her eyes gleamed brightly as she reached out for the parchment in Kathrine's hand.

However, Kathrine moved backward, and electric currents engulfed her body as her Agility skyrocketed.

'I knew it!'
