Undying Warlord

Dilan would have never expected that it would be so easy to enrage monsters.

He had purchased a treasure called [Berserk Fog]. Basically, it was a ball the size of a tennis ball and it would release red fog the moment he activated it.

The price for this treasure was 25,000 Essence Points, which was quite a bit. It would force monsters up to tier-3 to enter a state of rage, and they would mindlessly attack everything and everyone around them, even their own brethren.

This was great given that there were millions of monsters, who were bound to emerge from the ocean.

However, Dilan was not fully satisfied with this. Thus, he shot through the forest before he emerged in front of the four slithering Sea Serpents. Their sight was horrifying but Dilan simply ignored it.

He had been inside the stomach of a humongous Sea Serpent already. It was not exactly frightening to see them open their maw widely.

All four Sea Serpents prepared themselves to create a blast of water to attack him.

But instead of remaining idle, Dilan shot forward to activate and throw the first Berserk Fog metal ball through the narrow gap between the manifested water blast and the Sea Serpent’s wide-open maw.

The metal ball entered the stomach of the Sea Serpent while red fog was released in an explosive manner. Dilan wanted to watch what was going to happen but he didn’t have the necessary time.

He had three more Berserk Fog metal balls to activate and to throw in the maw of the other Sea Serpents before the first one would inevitably get affected.

Dilan moved rapidly and he worked hard to spend only a minute finishing his mission.

In the meantime, the Sea Serpents had caused lots of destruction, whether it was through the water blasts they had shot in Dilan’s direction or while slithering towards him that destroyed numerous trees and the surrounding in their path.

Dilan was already far in the central area of the abandoned island by now. This was the only frustrating point in his plan.

He didn’t really like being too close to the mountain of the abandoned island. His entire being told him that there was nothing good about that place even if he felt a strong pulling force that intended to lure him in the said direction.

Dilan saw only a few monsters while taking care of the four Sea Serpents and he quickly disappeared the moment their eyes turned bloodshot.

It was a good thing to avoid the Berserk state of Tier-4 monsters, whether it would last long or not.

The [Berserk Fog] treasure may only be used for Tier-3 monsters under normal circumstances but once applied and fully used on a single monster, the potency of the Berserk Fog increases.

For a short period, it would force the Sea Serpents to enter a state of Berserk, which was exactly what was happening just now. The Sea Serpents hissed out loudly and they began thrashing and twitching uncontrollably in an attempt to remove the harmful substance from within them.

However, it was already too late for this and they were suffering under the influence of the Berserk Fog until they stopped resisting it and accepted the influence altogether.

Dilan slashed the Sea Serpent’s lengthy body when running past them in order to further instigate them and to make them act against each other.

He, on the other hand, finally made use of his high stats to start obliterating the Flood Dragons and all the other powerful Tier-3 monsters in his path.

The Sea Serpents would take care of everything else. That was something Dilan was pretty sure about. He took a deep breath and started his slaughter feast.

‘I have enough potions to counter [Blood drain],’ Dilan checked once to be sure by brushing his fingers over the vials of various Tier-3 potions that were fastened to his belt before a wicked grin spread on his face.

Every 10 minutes, he prolonged the temporary enhancement of his weapon and his treasures, while he activated [Thunder Step] and [Second Acceleration] every now and then.

With Xealtron, enhanced to the Platinum Tier-3 rank, and the Curse unsealed, it amplified his Strength and Agility by 450 Units each. Even if he didn’t use any additional abilities, he easily reached 700 Agility and a Strength above 600 Units.

Dilan learned to love powerful equipment but he also knew that Xealtron was not something that would be with him forever.

The Cursed Dagger was the most important reason for him to be able to kill Tier-3 and Tier-4 monsters if he were to ignore everything else.

However, he felt like it wouldn’t be possible for him to use the Cursed Dagger outside the abandoned island. There was no reason for him to believe this but Dilan simply thought that it would be impossible, which was weird.

‘Such a powerful weapon shouldn’t have been sold for 350,000 Essence Points by the Essence Shop. A one hour ‘indestructible body’ enhancement already costs a massive 100,000 Essence Points and everything that is even remotely powerful is also extremely expensive…’

Xealtron might have a curse and its base augmentation was ‘only’ 100 Units for his Stamina and Strength but that was already extremely powerful…a lot of power one could gain at Tier-2.

The limit of status points cap at Tier-2 was 150 Units for ordinary existence, and Xealtron could add two-thirds of that to its wielder’s stats. That was quite weird, which was also why Dilan presumed that Xealtron was a hidden treasure that could only be used in the abandoned island.

Dilan’s thoughts had been weird when he had waited for the second Night Invasion to happen and it got only weirder now that he had been fighting with his life on the line for over an hour already.

He didn’t know how many Tier-3 monsters had already died at his hand but he was pretty sure that it was not even close to as many as the four Berserk Sea Serpents had killed.

The four Tier-4 monsters had begun to fight each other shortly after Dilan had left them to do his work of finishing off themselves. Two of them were already severely injured and on the verge of death, while the third was only lightly injured.

As for the last one, it was completely unscathed because its blue scales had turned bloody red, enhancing its defenses drastically.

Dilan didn’t really like this change in the situation because he had hoped to be able to kill the four Tier-4 Sea Serpents, sell their huge bodies and use their Essence Crystals upon leaving the abandoned island.

His plan had changed to become an unrivaled existence upon leaving the Abyssal-difficulty mission, after all!

However, even if he hadn’t expected one of the Sea Serpents to have some sort of transformation all of a sudden, Dilan could accept this rather easily.

This was especially easy when he realized that a new player had joined the game of conquest.

An earth-shaking roar reverberated through the entire abandoned island. Everything around them began to shake and numerous loose trees were uprooted while thousands of weakened Tier-2 beasts collapsed on the ground due to the intensity of the sound.

Dilan’s heart was stirred when he heard the roar and he was filled with excitement and a trace of fear as he saw the ginormous existence that emerged on top of the enormous mountain.

“Don’t you have a cold, Spinosaurus?” Dilan asked quietly, watching the fire-shrouded Spinosaurus issuing a second roar as it rushed down the mountain to join the fight of the four Sea Serpents.

The Sea Serpents stopped fighting each other instinctively at the sight of the powerful enemy and their full focus was diverted to the prehistoric monster that possessed a long and narrow skull resembling that of a crocodile, and a massive bone fine on its back.

The Spinosaurus could run on its hind legs but in order to attain a faster speed, it rushed on its four legs, moving its ginormous body that weighed thousands of tons. After all, the Spinosaurus was more than 15 meters in height!

‘Four Berserk Sea Serpents; two severely injured, one lightly injured and one transformed against the current Overlord of the abandoned island…this will be interesting!’ Dilan thought before he continued fighting all the other monsters around him.

He collected and sold the monster corpses that had been bulldozed in the fight of the four Berserk Sea Serpents, to make a big profit as he also sold the Essence crystals that were of no use to him.

Dilan didn’t kill the monsters, thus, their Essence crystals would fetch him more value if he would sell them in the Essence shop.

Due to that idea, Dilan’s Essence Points kept increasing drastically.

‘That’s how I like it! Gaining a lot while a bunch of Tier-4 powerhouses fight…just to die at my hands later!’
