Undying Warlord

The Alphas' fur was disheveled and they were beaten black and blue.

They were lying on the ground, writhing and twitching like the half-dead Vampires while Dilan towered over them.

He had a devilish smile on his face as he bent down to the Alphas.

"Killing you would be a waste. Fight with all your might when we face the Vampires at the Sanctum," Dilan laughed lightly while patting the shoulder of the closest Werewolf.

"Our groups should get accustomed to each other during the day. We'll leave early in the morning tomorrow!" He ordered casually, not leaving any room for negotiation.

Afterward, Dilan didn't have anything else to say. He left the encampment of the three Alphas to tell his people to mix with the group of Werewolves to get to know them.

Whether it was for the fight against the Vampires, or to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of the Werewolves, getting to know them was bound to be helpful.

While Dilan left, the three Alphas used all their willpower to get up from the ground.

"How the hell is he so powerful? It was not even possible for our claws to penetrate his skin…" The strongest of the three Alphas complained while the youngest sighed deeply.

"He is scary…and the scent of a noble Vampire lingers around him. He makes me feel nervous…" He revealed unwillingly.

"But it doesn't seem like he is the noble Vampire's blood servant or manipulated in any way…Maybe he really has a noble Vampire as a lover?" the Alpha of the Silverlight pack guessed, not sure if he was right or not.

The three Alphas looked behind Dilan before their subordinates rushed over to them, giving them a helping hand.

During the remaining days, Dilan met up with Sven, Kathrine, and Yvonne.

Dilan told the three all the information he had picked up about the Werewolves. This was mostly related to their strength, which would be helpful for Sven to come up with the perfect plan to make use of the Werewolves' power.

In the end, their joined forces were only around 2000-2500 combatants, and it was likely for close to 10,000 Vampires to face them near the Sanctum.

The numbers were likely to be less but it was always better to expect the worst. That way, you wouldn't be surprised if the worst case actually came true.

After he shared his intel, Dilan left the encampment. He wanted to increase his strength a little more and he had seen a few Gates nearby. There were also powerful monsters in the surrounding area.

They didn't dare to attack the huge encampment because it was filled with powerful Ascenders, but with Dilan strolling through the surrounding area all by himself, this was not a problem.

He concealed his strength as much as he was capable of so as to not startle the werewolves. This made things a lot easier and a bunch of powerful monsters attacked him.

However, Dilan was not satisfied with fighting a handful of monsters in half an hour. He was accustomed to more pressure and fighting with all his might.

It was easy for him to replenish his stamina and heal injuries in no time. There was no need for him to hold back.

Thus, Dilan retrieved a small vial he had received from Victoria.

The thick crimson red liquid was inside the vial, and Dilan tilted it as fat drops trickled on the ground around him when he was more than 50 kilometers away from the encampment.

"Let's see how potent your blood is, Victoria!" Dilan mumbled quietly as began his wait.

From the information Dilan had picked up, Vampire blood was of exceptional use for monsters. They would mutate after drinking a certain amount of ordinary Vampire blood, and it was possible for them to transform if the Vampire would actively attempt to turn them into their blood servants.

The blood of a powerful noble Vampire was of higher potency and Dilan awaited great results.

He didn't get disappointed as numerous powerful Tier-1 monsters rushed in his direction from all directions.

Tier-1 monsters had great smelling senses, which allowed them to smell even the faintest trace of Victoria's blood.

To his surprise, not just Tier-! But a few Tier-2 monsters also appeared.

"There are so many Tier-2 monsters already? Why does it feel like they're mocking me for still being at Tier-1?!" He grumbled, looking at the large number of monsters around him.

He retrieved Balzaki from his storage ring and brandished it right in front of himself.

"Who cares? I can still kill Tier-2 monsters even if I'm only at Tier-1!" He added, licking his lower lip in anticipation.

The number of Tier-2 monsters on Milarn seemed to be increasing rapidly and Dilan could tell that there was no time for him to waste.

Thus, with a push that released all his might at once, Dilan shot forward, with an aim to slaughter all his opponents.

Time passed quickly and Dilan ended up smeared with blood. Most Tier-2 monsters, who had followed the scent of Victoria's blood, had been ordinary or Bronze Tier-2 monsters.

Dilan guessed that the quality of their Essence crystals had decreased after they had chosen to complete one of the easiest missions to advance to Tier-2.

If that was not the case for most Tier-2 monsters to have an ordinary or Bronze Essence crystal, the Tier-2 monsters must have emerged on Milarn as Tier-2 existences already.

In some areas of the Shikan plains, there were many Gates, and they would throw hundreds, if not thousands of monsters on the Shikan plains before disappearing into nothingness.

In the end, Dilan was pretty sure that all his theories were somewhat true. It didn't really matter because the fact that more Tier-2 monsters appeared around him just meant that his Undying Group had to hasten up, otherwise, more anomalies like the Red Dragon may appear around their helpless group at any time and cause bloodshed.

Dilan didn't want to run away from any kind of monster anymore.

If possible, he would fight the Red Dragon with all his might, but Dilan knew that this was not possible for the time being.

While fighting with all his might, he could defeat Tier-2 noble Vampires, because he knew that his stats and abilities were more useful than theirs. He could tell that for sure, yet, he also knew that he was slowly becoming arrogant.

That was not good, and Dilan knew that.

He was so lost in thoughts that Dilan didn't even realize that he was fighting a more powerful opponent.

While most monsters were defeated after one, or at most, two slashes, the huge Tiger that had appeared in front of him was of a completely different caliber.

It was a Sabertooth tiger with razor-sharp teeth and a metal-like hide underneath its fur.

Dilan's attack managed to inflict some injury on the sabertooth tiger but the monster was able to heal rapidly. It was almost as if the Sabertooth tiger was a copy of Dilan, a monster with abilities unnervingly similar to his own.

The monster's rapid healing and metal-like hide made it an exceptionally dangerous opponent for most opponents.

However, Dilan didn't look at the situation like this. On the contrary, he began to enjoy fighting the Sabertooth tiger.

He had to focus more on his fight against the sabertooth tiger and a great idea flashed through his mind

"Shouldn't I…? That wouldn't be a bad idea!"
