Undying Warlord

“Our home is truly perfect, but it’s not a place you humans are supposed to be!”

Dilan and Victoria looked at the Vampire, who had appeared before them.

There was no ill intention in his actions and his stance showed that he was not looking for trouble.

His sapphire blue eyes darted at Yvonne and the two Minotaur Leader Skeletons which she controlled before he turned his head to Dilan.

“You brought Victoria here?” He asked and Dilan could only nod his head when the Vampire moved aside.

“In that case, you and your group can enter…temporarily,” The Vampire with sapphire eyes said in a clipped tone, acting as if he had the power to control what Dilan and his group were under his thumb.

Dilan didn’t say anything about that but he could tell that the Vampire, or whatever the man was, couldn’t be taken lightly.

“Are you a Hybrid?” Yvonne asked suddenly, which caused the Vampire’s head to flick in her direction. His fangs grew and his eyes began to glow in a bright sapphire tone as he shot forward.

It was obvious that he was enraged, but it was not necessary for him to attack Yvonne just for asking a question, whether the question was rude or not.

Dilan’s hand lunged out the moment the Vampire passed by. He grasped the Vampire’s neck without a problem before he lifted him into the air.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Dilan asked coldly, his sky blue eyes staring straight at the Vampire.

He choked the Vampire and didn’t intend to let go of him for the time being. On the contrary, Dilan increased the strength he put in his hands to cut off the wind supply, while his merciless eyes stared into the Vampire’s eyes.

“First, answer her question, and then introduce yourself properly!” Dilan said after nearly an entire minute had passed before he put down the Vampire.

The Vampire had been trying to scratch Dilan with his razor-sharp claws but Dilan’s skin was like tempered iron, extremely hard to even scratch despite its pointed claws.

‘Who the hell are they?!’ The Vampire wondered, touching his neck several times in apprehension. He was healing rapidly but it was still a bit shocking for him when he realized how simply Dilan had picked him out of his extremely fast speed.

“I…was born as a Vampire…and I have the blood of Werewolves in my vein…” The Vampire revealed slowly, glancing over at Dilan every now and then. Dilan looked inconspicuous and not like he was some sort of powerful existence.

His appearance and presence didn’t justify the terrifying strength Dilan possessed.

“…and my name is Kilian…” the Hybrid, called Kilian, introduced himself unwillingly.

Dilan just nodded his head before he continued to ask questions,

“How do you know Victoria? Don’t tell me that she is your half-sister?”

He was trying to figure out why someone would be inside the Inner region of the Old Vampire Lord’s Sanctum without the five Sanctum keys or belonging to the Vampire lord’s bloodline.

In fact, one was required to tick both boxes to enter the Inner Sanctum. Thus, Dilan was a bit confused.

“We are the Guardians of our Master, and don’t dare to approach the Mylady!” Kilian said in broken English but Dilan just nodded his head, understanding what he wanted to convey.

“How many of you are in the Inner Sanctum and did you already enter the Instance Dungeon of the Blood Monarch?” Dilan asked, not really caring about the former part.

It was not important how many Hybrids or Guardians were present. Only the Instance Dungeon of the Blood Monarch’s Sanctum was of importance and the fact that he wanted to enter it first to get the bonus for conquering it as the first person.

“We don’t meet the requirements to enter the Instance Dungeon, and our number is a bit on the larger side but we are not too many…” Kilian said carefully, making it obvious that he didn’t want to reveal a lot to the strangers.

Dilan just nodded his head in understanding.

“Yeah, you guys are way too weak. There is no way that you advanced to Tier-1 already,” He said while continuing to nod his head.

Dilan looked over to Yvonne, who returned his gaze.

“Look out for Victoria’s mana. I will take a look at the Instance Dungeon,” Dilan ordered without a change of his expression as he added as an afterthought, “And try not to kill anyone for the time being. We never know how useful someone can be.”

It didn’t matter that Kilian could hear him. Dilan didn’t mind that at all as he disappeared from the spot.

The Hybrid was nearly flung through the air as Dilan’s rapid movements caused a strong air pressure to blast against him.

Only with Yvonne’s fast reaction was it possible for Kilian to remain standing on his two feet.

“Thanks…” He said, throwing a wary gaze in the direction Dilan had run to.

“You guys should really become stronger, otherwise, you will die sooner or later,” Yvonne shook her head while stating the obvious.

She had figured out that the Hybrid had never left the Sanctum since the Primordial Ascension happened. Maybe he was simply not able to leave the sanctum for more than a thousand years and had been confined to these walls or they didn’t want to abandon the Sanctum because they were the Guardians of the Master.

However, it was not very helpful to be as weak as they were if they called themselves a Guardian, for whatever kind of being.

After she pointed out her opinion, Yvonne sent the two Minotaur Leaders back in her Penta-Item Pouch before she disappeared in the blink of an eye as well.

She ran straight towards Victoria, whose mana had left behind a trail for her to follow.

Yvonne followed that trail while Kilian could only witness how more than a thousand, extremely powerful humans passed through the hallway of the Sanctum’s outer region.

“What the hell is going on here?!?…” He blurted out in shock, not understanding anything at all.

Since the Primordial Ascension had occurred less than two months had passed.

At first, nothing special had changed for the inhabitants of the Old Vampire Lord’s sanctum. The Log of the Ancient was there to look at but it didn’t make any sense to them.

However, when the first, and only temporary Gate had manifested inside the sanctum, and more than 1000 monsters had emerged from it, the Guardians were bombarded with trouble.

None of them died but many had been ripped apart like pieces of paper. The Guardians had been too weak and they only survived due to their unique racial traits.

They became stronger by absorbing the Essence crystals of the many monsters they defeated but the temporary Gate disappeared, leaving them no chance to grow and evolve.

Since then, their strength had stagnated and it looked like they would have to wait for more opportunities.

The regional system notification and the appearance of the Instance Dungeon of the Blood Monarch’s Sanctum seemed like an opportunity but the Guardians were not able to enter the Instance Dungeon.

Thus, they could only wait, which was everything they had done except sleep for a very long time…

But it looked like their wait had finally ended. First, Victoria had appeared out of nowhere, and now humans flooded the Sanctum…humans powerful enough to eradicate all of the Guardians if they desired to.

Kilian felt uncomfortable and the first thing he could think of was to alarm everyone.

“No…Victoria and this…Dark Witch will be enough to warn…then how about I…no that would be suicidal..” Kilian mumbled, just to rush in a particular direction, going down the path of a suicidal Hybrid.
