Undying Warlord

Two rather large groups of monsters were fighting not too far ahead of him with their life on the line.

There was a group of Dog-like existences. Blue scales covered their body, they had fins and webs linking their legs to their abdomen like the foot of a duck. Rather than looking hideous or gruesome, they were rather magnificent to look at. Dilan was astonished when he realized that he liked their appearance as they looked cool!

Meanwhile, the Sea-Dogs opponents were large Crabs with huge pincers. The Sea-Dogs could control the surrounding water to a certain extent to initiate attacks, while the blueish-orange colored Crabs were proficient at using the surrounding water to erect walls and shields.

This was pretty interesting, especially since each group had a leader, whose strength was much higher than Dilan's power. They were definitely Tier-3 monsters, while their subordinates were even stronger than the winged shark Dilan had killed a few minutes earlier.

"Total of 300 plus…not bad!" He mumbled in excitement. He would have loved to join the fight but it was quite obvious that this was rather suicidal.

The commotion the fight caused was likely to attract the attention of other monsters and getting caught in the fray of powerful monsters was what Dilan had wanted to avoid.

He maintained a pretty long distance from both groups of monsters and allowed them to fight to their heart's content.

However, what Dilan noticed in the following minutes were two things.

First, the two groups tried breaking through each other's defenses. The Sea-Dogs used their attacks as a means to block the Crabs' attacks. To them, it was their means of a defensive attack. It didn't work out as planned and they were unable to pierce through the defensive mechanism of the Crabs they were fighting.

Thus, they weren't able to kill each other, which was something Dilan frowned at after several minutes had passed. Only 20 monsters had died, and the commotion was just getting louder and louder.

And their battle noises were what allowed Dilan to understand precisely that not a single monster feared the possibility of attracting more danger because of their noises.

Not even the smell of freshly spilled blood attracted the monsters of the abandoned island, which was also why Dilan's mindset was slowly changing.

Only a few minutes might have elapsed since he had emerged on the abandoned island but Dilan could quickly understand the rules of the island.

Territory fights were nothing special because only the stronger would reign supreme while the weak would be devoured. The outskirts of the abandoned island were for the weaker monsters, and stronger monsters were located near the center of the island, precisely at and around the mountain.

Dilan reached a few conclusions because they allowed his mind to be fully focused on the fight ahead.

The Tier-3 monsters had already used up a large amount of mana to attack and defend. They were not yet heavily injured but one could slowly see that the Sea Dogs were gaining an advantage.

Dilan took a deep breath at this sight before he accessed the Essence Shop to take a look at something he had seen earlier.

Balzaki and the Silver Serpentine Blade manifested in either of his hands and after a quick comparison, Dilan ended up returning the Serpentine Blade back inside the storage ring where it came from.

Dilan thought about something for a second before he ended up nodding his head. The timing was near-perfect because the two monster groups were fully focused on each other.

They didn't even expect someone to interfere in their fight. Thus, Dilan ended up buying something from the Essence Shop, costing exactly 1000 Essence Points.

A golden layer shrouded Balzaki as a result and he felt his strength increasing rapidly.

[Temporary Weapon has been used on Balzaki. Time left before the effect wears off <9 Minutes and 59 Seconds>]

[Balzaki] |Forged| Gold Tier-1→ Gold Tier-2

[+20 Strength] →[+50 Strength]

After his weapon had been enhanced, Dilan took a deep breath. He utilized 50 Units of Mana to activate [Thunder Step], enhancing his agility by a whopping 88.8%.

This was only possible thanks to the second effect of Thunder Step, which it had gained by advancing to a Tier-1 ability.

[[Thunder Step(Active)] Tier-1 ★✭✭

-Enhances [Agility] by 30% for 90 Seconds per 1 Unit of Mana!

-For each additional Unit of Mana used, Agility increases by 1.2%!

Once activated, it creates an ear-piercing noise, and shrouds the host's feet in electricity currents!]

An ear-piercing thunder reverberated throughout the entire beach as Dilan disappeared from his spot.

His Agility was close to 250 Units right now but Dilan was not yet done enhancing his stats to allow him to fight Tier-3 monsters.

[[Bracing Pain] has been activated. Lifeforce equivalent to 100 Health Units will be drained and converted to 50 Mana]

[[Bearer of Pain] has been activated. The Host's Health decreased rapidly. All stats will be amplified by 25%!]

Dilan's Agility skyrocketed even further, but that was still not it. He had yet to unleash the strongest combination of his abilities. A crazy smile appeared on his face as he charged at the three hundred and more Tier-2 monsters that were led by a Tier-3 Leader each.

"I will fucking kill y'all!" He shouted out, before activating [Switch]!

[[Switch] has been activated. The host reallocated, 50 Health, 30 Stamina, and 20 Mana Units to his Strength stat!]

[Bearer of Pain]'s effect has intensified. The Host's Health decreased further. Dangerous threshold reached. All stats will be amplified by 45%]

After Dilan was done enhancing his stats to the maximum possible, his Strength surpassed 380 Units, while his Agility reached 350 Units!

His body could barely handle both stats being so high due to the maximum limit [Unparalleled Warrior's Physique] had attained when Dilan reached Level 25 at Tier-1!

Dilan was barely able to endure the pain that spread through his entire body, but he tried to ignore it as much as possible because he was just about to face the opponents ahead of him.

With his enhanced stats, Dilan was even faster than both Tier-3 monsters. With a single slash, he could cut through the crabs and Sea-Dogs' underlings, without leaving them a single chance to use their own ability.

Dilan's only problem was keeping his balance on the fine sand. It was not easy to run on it, whether his Agility was around 150 Units, or 350 Units.

However, he was doing his best to kill all the beach monsters with rapid velocity.

The Tier-3 monster leaders were not able to do anything against him. Their Agility was only around 250 Units, which made it impossible for them to keep up with Dilan's rapid speed precisely.

Even their Strength was only around 300 Units, which was how they ended up feeling true fear from an existence they hadn't even perceived before.

Dilan hadn't been noteworthy before, and his true strength was only unveiled when he unleashed it completely.

With a crazed expression on his face, Dilan went on a rampage, ignoring the aftermath of his actions.

He wanted to maintain a low profile the whole time but that seemed to become increasingly difficult the more he thought about it.

"Whatever, just let it rain blood, bodies, and death!!" Dilan mumbled quietly, dispelling the negativity trying to encroach on his mind while his smile widened.

"Who cares whether you are the Overlords of your own tiny group, I am your death!" He roared before appearing in front of the Sea-Dog Leader with glistening eyes.

"Bow to me!"
