Undying Warlord

By reforming the leader-base once again, some things got a little bit messy.

However, it was not actually difficult to sort the issues. With Dilan’s help, there was no problem to ensure that everyone would obey the new Sub-unit leader’s orders.

As long as they didn’t demand too much from their subordinates, the Sub-unit leader’s orders could be taken as Dilan’s commands.

This was what they had mutually decided upon after spending the remaining day appointing the most trustworthy Survivors and Ascenders as leaders, vice-leaders, managers, and so on.

The most difficult was still finding the leader of the Elite Combat Unit, the Hunting Unit, and the Scouting Unit. Within all these groups, one could find powerful Ascenders.

While the Tierless Ascenders were not allowed to join Dilan’s large-scale hunting group, close to half of the Tier-1 Ascenders had to stay behind as well.

For some Ascenders, this was quite frustrating because they felt that they were deprived of the opportunity to become stronger.

They knew that standing by Dilan’s side would allow them to advance rapidly.

However, because they had been ordered to stay behind, they could only obey. They were tasked with protecting the hospital, Old Jeff’s workshop, and the Porter Unit as they were the ones to carry the corpses Dilan’s hunting group would kill.

Another opportunity for them to shine would come and they would grasp it the moment it would arrive.

That was what the Ascenders told themselves; to grasp all the opportunities that unveiled themselves in front of them!_-.

Williams and Xenia stayed as the leader of their group, simply because the Elite Combat Unit and the Scouting Unit needed someone strong to keep them in check.

On the other hand, Ailee and Oliver were replaced because Dilan had found the perfect person to teach new Ascenders.

Dilan had found a batch of five Martial artists not too long ago. They had attempted to fight monsters without any weapons, which resulted in quite severe injuries. The injuries didn’t kill them but some of them could have been considered to be crippling enough.

Some of the Martial artists had a near-death experience before because the days that had passed by worsened the state of the injuries.

They had only survived thanks to Dilan’s arrival and the Essence crystals he had handed them.

Right now, they could be considered to be quite powerful, even if they were still restricted by certain internal injuries that couldn’t be healed even with the healing abilities some Survivors in their group had.

Their healing abilities were either too weak and had to be upgraded, or the Martial artists’ injuries were far worse than what Dilan thought.

But that was not actually something Dilan was concerned about because teaching someone didn’t require you to be fit enough to fight.

In the end, reforming his group once again worked out quite fine and it was possible for him and the others to leave early the next morning.

With some good rest, Dilan, more than 130 Tier-1 Ascenders, and some other Ascenders they required for specific tasks left the Rian mountainside hospital, while fully being prepared to fight hundreds of monsters head-on.

“We have never moved in such big groups…that is so thrilling!!” One Ascenders mumbled, feeling the chills running down his spine.

He was not the only one to be excited. Most present Ascenders had only seen Dilan fighting before he advanced to Tier-1. In fact, even Kathrine couldn’t remember having clearly perceived Dilan’s fight.

In the Krendel’s Underground Valley the majority of his fights had been in darkness, preventing her from seeing much.

That was why she could only perceive that Dilan was powerful but had not witnessed it clearly.

Yvonne was powerful as well, but even the little sister was eager to see Dilan’s fight.

However, this was mostly owed to the fact that the Origin ability told her that the next few days would be filled with blood and death!

“The Porters will be ready in half an hour, and they’ll be protected by more than 50 Tier-1 Ascenders. That should be more than enough.”

Sven had appeared next to Dilan all of a sudden. He had not chosen a combat occupation while advancing to Tier-1. Despite that, Sven could be said to be one of the most important Ascenders in the entire group.

He had chosen an occupation called [Strategist of the Thousand Kingdoms]. It was an occupation that had imprinted a lot of information in Sven’s mind.

This information was mostly related to the management of a kingdom while going to war and what strategies could be employed in times of war, or against monsters.

Under normal circumstances, Sven’s occupation was the most useful within the Rian mountainside hospital but Dilan wanted to get to know how Sven would fare as a General of a large group.

Thus, he had asked Sven to command and lead the entire group, astonishing many.

The astonishment didn’t stop at the Ascenders but even Sven, Williams, and the others were not entirely sure why Dilan wouldn’t want to show off that he was the leader of the group.

However, that was actually not something he could be bothered about. As long as there was someone who was more capable than him, he would allow him to do the things he or she was better at.

Dilan had no idea about warfare, which was why he stepped aside for Sven.

This was the right thing to do. He didn’t regret his decision after listening to Sven’s plan and was certain that everything would be fine.

“Alright, I can let myself loose and pave my way through the monsters, creating a gap for the others to enter as well.”

Being in front of everyone while facing opponents in the center of the battlefield was quite important.

Not only was it possible for him to support the others if they were to require his help but his title [Beyond the Stars] allowed the allies in a range of 100 meters to gain more courage.

This was quite helpful, even more so because many Ascenders were nervous about the first large-scale fight they were in.

One mistake and not only their own life but also that of others would be endangered.

It was not too much to say that one’s responsibilities were several times higher than usual.

And that was without the danger of powerful monsters getting a wind of their group. If monsters stronger than the Blue Tiger would attack them, even the large group of Ascenders would struggle to overwhelm them.

At least that was what many Ascenders thought but Dilan was actually not worried about that.

He was hoping to encounter some powerful monsters because he had to release some steam from his encounter with Priestess Brashta and all the information he had gotten about enslavement.

That was also why Dilan stormed into the first group of monsters they had targeted, the moment Sven instructed everyone to attack.

While volleys of arrows flew through the air, balls of fire, icicles, earth spikes, and various other long-range attacks followed suit in an instant.

The batch of more than a hundred Demonic Antelopes, who had noticed the Hunting group, retaliated by releasing a gloomy miasma.

The gloomy miasma shrouded the Demonic Antelopes in an instant, before expanding further.

Only their bloody red, glowing eyes could be seen through the darkness of the gloomy miasma. However, that was not enough for Dilan to halt in his tracks.

He was the first to pierce through the gloomy miasma before a huge blazing serpent emerged from his hand.

Carnage and the cold traps of death flooded the Shikan plains, caused by a single human being, and the terrifying weapon he wielded like a madman.

The Ascenders, who had been motivated to fight, charging at the gloomy miasma could only halt their tracks at the sight of the serpent form of the Blazing Serpentine Blade.

They feared being killed by accident. It didn’t look like Dilan needed their help either…after all, the gloomy miasma was already diminishing, while the painful screams of dying demonic antelopes filled the Shikan plains with the rising of the morning sun.

“Maybe, I should have told him to hold back a little bit…” Sven mumbled first before he sighed deeply.

“How the hell will the others learn something if Dilan is already more than enough to massacre more than a hundred Tier-1 monsters in…three minutes…”
