Undying Warlord

Dilan had to drive for a whole day to reach Shiron. He was not bothered by a single monster and could drive over the highway with a high velocity.

Once he reached the base of the Undying group, Dilan first searched for Sven and his management group.

They knew about the occupations and abilities of most Ascenders, whether they were new or old ones. Thus, it was quite fortunate when Dilan found Sven after searching for him for a minute or two.

"Do we have some former dog trainers, zookeepers, or some Ascenders with similar abilities and occupations in our group?" Dilan asked the moment he found Sven.

The middle-aged man looked slightly confused for a moment. Dilan was supposed to report the situation of the Vampires the moment he returned back to the base.

However, Dilan did not only rush over to Sven to ask this weird question but he had also been quite late. There was no need for Dilan to take nearly two days to run in a straight line toward the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord and back home again.

If he had encountered a few Vampire Clans on his way, he would have come back directly…given that everything was alright.

"We have some zookeepers, whose first ability turned out to be related to raising monsters. Thus, they became Tamers when they advanced to Tier-1…" Sven revealed slowly before he shook his head, "But forget about that. What happened when you were out? How many groups of Vampires are on their way toward us? What are their numbers?"

Sven was worried but Dilan waved his arm off before he carefully removed his backpack.

"Don't fret about that. There was only one group of Vampires on our way, and their numbers were close to 6000 if I'm not mistaken but they'---..." Dilan was talking calmly but he was interrupted when Sven cut him abruptly.

"6000?! So many…. We won't be able to kill them in our current state… We need more traps and more Tier-2 Ascenders… How long will they take to reach us?" Sven asked in a nervous voice, barely able to control his expression.

Dilan didn't answer right away. He sighed and looked at the middle-aged man with a small frown as he opened the backpack.

The six monster cubs were sleeping soundly inside the backpack and Dilan removed the only one, who started to squirm the moment bright sunlight shone inside the backpack and onto its small body.

It was trying to issue some noises but it was incapable of doing so because it had yet to be able to move properly.

Dilan took the one-day-old lizard out of the backpack to take a proper look at it. The slimy membrane on its body had been shed and one could take a clear look at it.

"What do you say, Sven? How about we start raising infant monsters?" Dilan asked instead of answering Sven's bombardment of questions.

Sven involuntarily took a step back and he grasped the hilt of his sheathed sword. He was ready to fight at once but froze when he saw Dilan's disapproving gaze.

"What the hell did you do in the last 48 hours?!" Sven shouted out all of a sudden, attracting the attention of many members of the Undying group. They saw Dilan squatting down on the concrete ground, holding a tiny lizard that was even larger than the hand of a full-grown man.

This astonished many but they didn't doubt Dilan had lost it. Thus, they shrugged their shoulders before they went on with their tasks. There was more than enough to do in the few days of peace, especially outside their base's building.

"If you want a summary of what I did since I left the group to take a look at the Vampires' situation before anyone else gets informed, that's quite easy," Dilan finally answered with a faint smile on his face as he lightly caressed the rough skin of the infant lizard.

"I ran for a long time, found 6000 Vampires fighting 600 Werewolves, was attacked by the Vampires, killed 2000 of them, and now I have some Werewolves, who want to kill all the Vampires on the Shikan plains at my disposal," He gave him a quick summary, which caused Sven to take a few deep breaths, making him feel as if he had momentarily lost his speech.

"Dilan~ You're finally back!!" Victoria's shrill voice suddenly resounded from behind him and she was just about to charge at him when Dilan turned around.

"Slowly!" He ordered her with an imposing voice that made Victoria slow down her pace instinctively.

She saw the infant lizard in his hands but just like the other members of the Undying group, Victoria was not actually confused by them.

She was relieved that Dilan was finally back and approached him slowly to embrace him tightly.

Dilan just blinked his eyes when he felt that Victoria was rubbing her body against his in an inconspicuous manner that nobody else could detect.

"Not yet, silly!" Dilan warned before he got up from the ground. He picked up the backpack with the infant lizards, and looked at Sven.

Sven was still baffled by the lizards but his eyes followed Dilan's movements.

"Gather the others and tell them what I told you just now. I want to make use of the Werewolves to reach the Sanctum and kill all bothersome Vampires on my way there.

Victoria can help us determine which Vampire Clan is shitty, and which is fine to continue to exist. But I think we need to hurry up because I feel like we need to conquer the Instance Dungeon of the Blood Monarch's Sanctum as quickly as possible.

We need to get stronger and I don't want to sound like I'm spouting nonsense but the number of Tier-2 Vampires is constantly increasing!" Dilan spoke a few words but it was enough for Victoria to step back from him.

She eyed him weirdly, concern evident in her eyes as she asked, "Werewolves?"

Dilan glanced over to her, nodding his head.

"Yeah, the humans, who can turn into furballs, with sharp claws and teeth," He said lightly with a silly smile on his face.

Afterward, he turned to Sven, demanding an answer for where the tamers were located in the building before he went off after Sven pointed in a specific direction in response.

With one lizard in his arm and five in his backpack, Dilan went his way, searching for the people who would be able to train these monsters.

He didn't want the lizards to get tamed with an ability but to get them trained like dogs, horses and similar other domesticated animals humans could train.

Most monsters may be natural predators but that was something one could easily take care of as long as one was stronger than monsters.

However, Dilan didn't want them to simply get tamed, he wanted to transform them into mounts that even ordinary Survivors could use.

This would make things much easier, especially if the long-legged lizards had as much stamina as he hoped them to have.

They were supposed to be used by the scouts for long-distance traveling and much more and Dilan had high expectations.

He smiled at the thought of riding a Dragon or some sort of other unique monsters, and it caused him to feel elated.

'This would be pretty darn interesting!'
