Undying Warlord

Dilan didn’t waste any time as he charged in the direction of the Temple of Scorpio.

With his high Agility, there was no problem finding and reach the Temple of Scorpio in half an hour.

It was located right next to a mountainside and looked quite similar to the Sun Temple if one were to ignore the color of the stones with which the temple had been built.

There was a huge entrance constructed in the middle of the pyramid-shaped temple and it was not difficult for Dilan to see that there were a bunch of monsters in the rows of Scorpionmen that looked similar to human-like Scorpions with broken necks.

Their appearance was rather weird but Dilan didn’t bother about that as he charged inside the town that had been built around the Temple.

Monsters and Scorpionmen noticed him immediately and many things occurred at the same time. The monsters turned in his direction and growled as if to lunge at him while the Scorpionmen charged forward.

There was no hesitation in their actions because they had faced and overcome many attacks since they had emerged on Jundra.

“Can you guys stop with this charade?” Dilan asked in the language he had learned in the Sun Temple. He hoped that they might understand that language better than the human tongue from Milarn.

Unfortunately, that was not the case and Dilan was forced to keep speaking in that language to make the Scorpionmen talk as well. Since the second phase of the Primordial Ascension had been initiated, abilities bound to the Essence crystal would improve as long as one used them more often.

With that in mind, Dilan tried to upgrade [Language Comprehension] by speaking the language of the Rasnian and Ligav race and by listening intently to the noises the Scorpionmen issued.

The Scorpionmen attacked him but Dilan evaded their attacks rather effortlessly. He didn’t have much to do because his Agility was a lot higher than any of them could reach even after activating two agility-boosting abilities.

“You guys are really boring. How about you try fighting seriously?” Dilan asked with a hint of mockery while continuing to evade each attack, just to move closer to the Temple of Scorpio.

He was pretty sure that the Scorpionmen and monsters controlled by them would become a little bit more desperate the closer he inched towards the Temple of Scorpio’s Divinity Fragment.

Dilan had yet to figure out where the Scorpio Temple’s Divinity Fragment was located, let alone what it looked like but that was just a matter of time before he would find out.

When Dilan reached the stairs of the Temple of Scorpio, a massive amount of aetheric poison was blasted onto him. The poison had been shot out by the Scorpionmen, the Scorpion monsters, and through certain items.

Dilan shut all of his orifices with mana the moment the poison impacted him. His clothes sizzled and were corroded within seconds and Dilan felt a bit of pain due to the poison’s sting but that was the only damage the poison caused.

With [Undying] activated, and his special trait [Iron Skin] showing its true power, there was no need for Dilan to fear turning into a sack of flesh and bones.

His skin was charred a little bit but he healed faster than he could sustain more injuries. That made things a lot easier for him as Dilan chose to ignore all the attacks that were directed at him.

There was no need for him to continue wasting his time and Stamina evading all the attacks if they were not dangerous to begin with.

Thus, Dilan ended the farce and stopped moving for a moment until several stingers and blades lunged forward in an attempt to pierce through him.

“Sorry but my Health stat is already close to the Peak of Tier-3, and I have a pretty nice special trait,” Dilan apologized in a sarcastic way.

He smiled lightly as some weapon chipped the moment they impacted his naked body. His perfect physique was unveiled to everyone but none of the Scorpionmen, let alone monsters could be bothered about his lack of clothing. They were way too shocked that the strength they had been proud of was not enough to defeat a puny human from Milarn.

Their powers had been accumulated for years, yet, someone whose world hadn’t even awoken 70 days ago was stronger than them? That couldn’t be right!

However, reality looked a bit different. Dilan was not only a little bit stronger than them but his strength exceeded theirs by far.

‘What would be the easiest way to make everyone listen to me? The Divinity Fragment? No, that would probably make them even angrier…ahh..I got it!’ Dilan thought of something and a bright smile appeared on his face as he inserted 200 Units of Mana in the Blood Eclipse Necklace.

[Demon Summoning]!

A huge dark gate out of which darkness oozed emerged from the ground. The pressure the gate released was terrifying enough to make everyone retreat as a huge, winged Demon barged out of the dark gate.

“Some sort of Draconic Demon?” Dilan wondered for a moment as he looked at the twenty-meter-tall Demon that had appeared from his Demon Summoning. It was a winged lizard with black skin that resembled leather.

“YO!” Dilan shouted out loud when he saw that the Draconic Demon was about to start a rampage. The Draconic Demon turned in his direction and its eyes began to glow in a bright red color.

“Do you know Kelkas? If you do, he should have told you what will happen if you fucking annoy me!” He exclaimed as a devilish smile formed on his face.

For a moment the Draconic Demon only stared at him in confusion and tilted its head as if it couldn’t understand what Dilan ordered.

“You fucking dumbass idiot. I know that you can understand what I’m saying. I swear, if you don’t want to be turned into lizard-ragu, you better listen!” Dilan warned once again while releasing his thirst for blood and his overflowing killing intent.

The crimson eyes of the Draconic Demon changed after it observed Dilan for a second and the Demon’s composure changed completely.

“Since when are humans so cocky?” He asked in a hoarse voice while staring daggers at the tiny human, who was not far away from his position.

A short jump would be enough for the Draconic Demon to reach Dilan, who was extremely calm when he looked up at the huge head of the Demon.

“What does my race matter in that regard? I’m cocky because I have the power to be cocky!” Dilan said with a shrug.

He retracted his bloodlust and kept looking at the Draconic Demon before he pointed at the situation around him.

“Do you know these Scorpionmen? If so, you can talk to them and convey the message that they should provide me with the information I want, or I will eradicate them, steal their Divinity Fragment and make it mine!” Dilan said before he lightly added, “…and if you cannot speak their language, just take me to the strongest Scorpionmen. That should be their leader!”

From his experience with the Sun Temple, Dilan had learned that it would make things a lot easier if he overpowered others than trying to treat them nicely.

And that was exactly what he would do, even if that meant he would have to kill the innocent!
