Undying Warlord

[Essence pool has been filled. Host reached Level 25(Tier-1)! +1.0 Status points can be allocated!]

[Level cap has been reached. The Host can now advance to Tier-2 after completing his advancement mission!]

[Ancient Path of Advancement has opened once again. Advancement Mission can be chosen!]

There were far more messages than the three notifications that had appeared in front of his face at this moment but Dilan ignored them for the time being.

Two days had passed and Dilan finally advanced to Level 25. With maxed-out stats, it was much easier to accumulate more Essence and to level up. If not for that, Dilan would probably have to spend another week hunting monsters.

"Then let's take a look at my Advancement Mission!" Dilan declared in excitement as he walked through the masses of corpses he left behind.

When he clicked on his Divine ranked occupation, there were two things he could take a look at.

First, there was something called [Divinity Mission Board] that seemed to be a new addition, and there was the [Ancient Path of Advancement].

Dilan presumed the Divinity Mission Board to be related to the other messages, which he had yet to read. Thus, he took a look at the Ancient Path of Advancement in hopes of finding easy missions.

**Ancient Path of Advancement**

[Hell] <Conquest>

[Calamity] <Predator>

[Abyss] <Survival>

**

A total of three Missions appeared in front of Dilan and he began to wonder which one to choose. Of course, he had to procure more information before he would make his decision but the differentiation of the difficulties made it quite obvious how 'easy' it would be to advance to Tier-2.

"Should I just choose Abyss and get over with it?" He wondered before shaking his head.

It wouldn't really help to choose the highest difficulties for the sake of it. If it would take him years to finish the Abyss mission, he would waste too much time, and it would possibly end in his death.

Milarn was becoming more dangerous with every passing day. Thus, he had to advance fast rather than be solely focused on the perfect advancement path in terms of quality.

"Whatever, I will read them now…" He just blurted out, discarding all his intrusive thoughts.

[Hell-difficulty Advancement Mission <Conquest>

Conquer 10 Bronze Temple all by yourself]

The Advancement Mission <Conquest> was quite simple. It was not difficult to understand, especially since Dilan had encountered a Bronze Temple already. The Sun God's temple had been a Bronze temple and Dilan had conquered it.

However, finding 10 Bronze temples and conquering them now would take quite some time, definitely more than a week. With that in mind, Dilan turned his attention to the [Calamity] mission.

[Calamity-difficulty Advancement Mission <Predator>

Find and kill the following Monsters

-Platinum Tier-2 Nightmare Hellhorse

-Platinum Tier-2 Silverback Ape

-Silver Tier-3 Onyx Flood Dragon]

Dilan disregarded the Calamity Advancement Mission the moment he finished reading through it. There was not a single Platinum Tier-2 monster in his surrounding area, let alone a Silver Tier-3 Onyx Flood Dragon for him to hunt and kill.

Dilan was also pretty sure that it wouldn't be easy to defeat a Tier-3 monster while being at Tier-1.

It may not be impossible for him to defeat the Nightmare Hellhorse and the Silverback Ape as long as he prepared enough but it was already near-impossible for him to find a strong enough weapon to fight with right now. How was he supposed to find a weapon that could pierce through the scales of a Flood Dragon?!

And that was while ignoring the fact that his stats were bound to be much lower than that of the Flood Dragon's which was suicidal!

"Before I find Platinum Tier-2 monsters, let alone Silver Tier-3 monsters, months would pass on Milarn…" Dilan mumbled gloomily as he turned his attention to the Abyss mission, hoping to not be discouraged by what he would find in it.

[Abyss-difficulty Advancement Mission <Survival>

The host will be teleported to a secret realm, where he has to survive for 72 hours.]

There was not much information written in the mission but there was a big difference between 'surviving' and 'killing'.

'If I can run away, that would be great, but I doubt that it will be easy. The Abyss difficulty is not there just for decoration. Considering that I have to kill a Silver Tier-3 Onyx Flood Dragon at a lower difficulty, I will probably have to run for my life against Platinum Tier-3 monsters, or even Tier-4 monsters…' Dilan thought, scratching the back of his head.

He nibbled on his lower lip and sighed deeply at the end of the day. After some consideration, he came to the conclusion of which mission to choose.

However, before he would accept the mission, Dilan wanted to take a look at the other notifications he received upon advancing to Level 25.

[The host's Divine Occupation advanced to Tier-1 Level 25. The Divinity Mission Board has been unveiled before advancing to Tier-4 due to unique circumstances and the host attaining special conditions!]

Dilan had seen the Divinity Missions Board, which was why he clicked on it for a change.

–Divinity Mission Board–

[★-Missions]

[★★-Missions]

[★★★-Missions]

[★★★★-Missions]

[★★★★★-Missions]

[Barter]

[Chat]

—

While browsing through the Divinity Mission Board, Dilan figured that there were quite a few interesting points.

Most missions, whether they were one-star missions or five-star missions, were to be accomplished by existences that were at or above Tier-4.

Someone with Dilan's strength was not powerful enough to complete the Missions, even if he would accept them.

As for the [Barter], and [Chat] sections, they were not exactly helpful either. Not right now at least!

The Chat was empty, and the Barter section was overflowing with items and offers that caused Dilan's head to ache.

"Ability crystal 'Hell's Firestorm' in exchange for the Tear of a Mermaid….okay…" He could only say with a shake of his head as he continued walking back to the Sanctum. He wrote a short message in the Chat, hoping to receive an answer to his questions before he closed it once again.

Two days had passed since he had left the Sanctum, and it was time for him to return, even if it was just to take a short glimpse at the situation.

He wanted to advance to Tier-2 as quickly as possible but it was quite important to improve his equipment as well. At least, he should get his hand on a new, or rather old but improved weapon if he didn't want to strive for fruitless results!

"I hope Sven brought me a present from Old Jeff," Dilan wished as he rushed back to the Sanctum, where he found the three Werewolf packs.

Dilan was not sure how long they would stay near the Sanctum but it didn't really have a negative impact if they were to decide to stay longer. On the contrary, their strength was quite helpful in preventing others from attacking their base.

However, right now, it looked like the Werewolf packs' numbers had dwindled considerably. Simultaneously, it was quite obvious to see that many Werewolves were sick.

'Is there a contagious disease spreading through the Sanctum?' Dilan imagined the worst right off the bat, which was why he approached the Alphas to understand what was going on.

"What's wrong with your people?!" He asked as he appeared in front of the Silverlight pack's Alpha.

He seemed fine but his eyes were sunken and he looked tired.

"We found another race…and a temple with thousands of them…" The Alpha said in a barely audible voice.

"New race?...Temple?" Dilan asked in return, lifting his eyebrow.

'Like the Sun temple?' He wondered for a moment before he asked the more important question.

"And they attacked your people, poisoning them? Or did you guys attack first?"
