Undying Warlord

Dilan appeared outside the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord without showing any emotions.

He had used [Short-distance teleportation] to emerge outside while concealing his powers easily.

'Concealing my powers is easier than expected. I thought that I would shock everyone, but it looks like nobody can really tell how strong I am by now,' Dilan thought, satisfied with himself.

He took a deep breath and scanned his surroundings with a single glance.

"Can't we just kill the daughter of the Old Vampire Lord and her playthings? Why are the Alphas making such a fuss out of killing a few bloodsuckers?!" A bulky Werewolf asked his brethren, openly revealing his contempt and disdain for the daughter of the Old Vampire Lord.

Victoria had conjured a wall of blood ice in front of a Werewolf, who had attacked one of her Hybrids. She reached out her hand to help the trembling Hybrid get back on his feet.

Dilan could tell that Victoria and her underlings had become a lot stronger, but it was still not enough for her to deal with all the Werewolves, who wanted to do nothing more than to kill them.

There were thousands of Werewolves in the valley, and many of them were stronger than Victoria, let alone her Hybrids.

Dilan was just about to jump forward to bring Victoria and her Hybrid out of the encirclement of Werewolves around her when he heard something.

"Are you stupid? The moment the Vampire's lover returns and finds out that we killed her, we would be dead meat!" An older Werewolf said, shaking his head at the stupidity of the wolf who had stated his ridiculous opinion.

"The Vampire's' lover? Why would we be scared of him? I mean we have the Alpha Lord with us, and he is the strongest existence on the Shikan plains!" The same bulky Werewolf as before countered, pushing his chest out in pride as if he was the Alpha Lord himself.

Dilan was not sure who exactly the Alpha Lord was, but he was pretty sure that he was not the strongest existence on the Shikan plains.

"You might not know him but that human is truly powerful! I witnessed how he killed thousands of Vampires all by himself. He could fight three Alphas and take them single-handedly. I genuinely doubt that he will be much weaker than the Alpha Lord!" The old Werewolf tried to put some sense into him.

In the end, the bulky Werewolf didn't believe that Dilan was stronger than their Alpha Lord, but his words were enough to attract some interest in the Werewolves around them.

"And where is this lover now? Are you sure that you're not mistaken about him? Why would the daughter of the Old Vampire Lord have a human lover, especially if he killed thousands of Vampires?" Someone asked, but the old Werewolf could only shrug his shoulders.

It was not as if he knew everything.

"Labeling me as her lover is not really a suitable term. How about you call me the Leader of the Undying group, or just Master?" Dilan joked as he stepped forward.

He walked past the old Werewolf with a faint smile on his lips. Nobody had noticed him before and his sudden appearance shocked the Werewolves around him.

The bulky Werewolf could only squint his eyes as he tried to evaluate Dilan's strength. However, there was nothing to sense. It was almost as if Dilan was not even an Ascender.

This feeling gave the bulky Werewolf the reassurance he needed to take a step forward and obstruct Dilan's path to the center of the crowd where Victoria and her Hybrids were currently standing.

Dilan's expression didn't change as he advanced ahead, completely ignoring the bulky Werewolf in front of him.

He intentionally bumped into the Werewolf, who was using all his strength to pose in front of Dilan and to remain standing at the exact location, no matter what.

The bulky Werewolf was in for a surprise as Dilan just kept walking ahead, ignoring him as if he was not worth his attention. When Dilan bumped into the bulky Werewolf, the hair all over the Werewolf's body stood on its end and he quickly retreated.

His expressions were filled with fear and a bruise could be seen on the spot where Dilan had bumped into the Werewolf.

The bulky Werewolf's body began to shudder involuntarily while Dilan continued to walk.

He released traces of his power, causing everyone to involuntarily retreat the moment he stepped too close to them.

"I…What…How…" The bulky Werewolf was too baffled to speak properly. His eyes were locked on Dilan, while his voice was broken.

Meanwhile, the old Werewolf couldn't help but feel baffled as well.

'Is the Alpha Lord…really stronger?'

Dilan didn't face any issues while walking through the crowd of Werewolves as everyone moved out of his way. However, even if none of them would have moved, his strength would have forced everyone to either die or retreat on their own.

His eyes were locked on Victoria and the situation that occurred around her.

She was looking for a way to back off from the Werewolves, with the young female Hybrid by her side. Victoria stood protectively in front of her female subordinate and was ready to fight if that was truly necessary.

Meanwhile, the Werewolf, who had been blocked with the blood-ice wall had paved a way through the wall that burst open as his kick smashed it to pieces.

Victoria's strength was extremely high but she could tell that the Werewolf in front of her was not much weaker than her.

"So you are the Old Vampire Lord's daughter?" A new and unknown voice reached Victoria from the right. She turned to her right and frowned deeply.

"And you are the Alpha Lord, am I right?" Victoria asked, trying to keep up a confident facade. However, that was easier said than done when someone released their killing intent toward you, especially if that being was clearly stronger than you in every aspect.

"That's correct, and I will kill you," The Alpha Lord said in a calm and nonchalant way as if he was talking about the weather.

Victoria frowned but the Alpha Lord's expression turned serious.

"To repay the cruelty and loss your father has caused to my ancestors your blood will have to nourish the ground of the Sanctum Fair price, isnt it?" He declared as his crimson eyes began to glow brightly.

The Alpha Lord's body enlarged drastically and black fur covered him as he underwent a partial bestial transformation.

Long claws had grown out of his fingers and they clicked loudly before he pounced forward without a warning.

The Alpha Lord was a man of his word but he would rather let actions speak than make empty promises or threats.

Thus, he pounced at Victoria with a shocking speed. The distance between him and Victoria was reduced to zero in an instant and he slashed out at the young Vampire without hesitation.

Victoria's eyes widened and she noticed too late that her blood-ice wall would take a second to erupt and shield her.

She clenched her teeth and was just about to activate a bunch of her abilities when she felt a sudden warmth from behind her.

Victoria was pulled backward, just in time when the Alpha Lord's claws slashed at her, missing her by a hair's breadth.

However, Victoria didn't care about this anymore. Her eyes began to glow in joy as she turned her head, where she saw the only person, whom she had missed dearly for disappearing for three days.

"You're back!"
