Undying Warlord

Upon thinking about the Sun Temple, his expression soured and he began to stare daggers at the Draconic Demon, who had yet to move.

“You do realize that I’m being nice to you by allowing you to retain your freedom, right? The Blood Eclipse Necklace can force you to do my bidding, you know?” Dilan stated as he kept watching the Draconic Demon, who turned around, not without being confused.

“You are really a weird human…just like Kelkas said…” He replied before he let out a mighty roar at the heavens, preventing all the monsters and Scorpionmen from moving.

A sudden fear embraced their hearts and souls as the Draconic Demon began to speak in a different language.

“If your leader isn’t standing in front of me in the next 60 seconds, I will kill everyone in this tiny, Basic-grade Temple!!” Dilan gave an ultimatum and some Scorpionmen instantly scurried out like chickens that had seen a butcher coming their way.

The Draconic Demon could only stare back to Dilan, who had used his mana to clean his body before he put on a new set of clothes in a nonchalant manner.

He didn’t fear getting attacked and gave away many openings that could be taken advantage of by a skilled opponent. However, the Draconic Demon made no move to attack the young human as he heard something that prevented him from daring to do anything.

It had been a few days since Kelkas did exactly what Dilan had asked him, informing everyone that they should obey Dilan’s orders if he were to summon them using the Blood Eclipse Necklace.

Most Demons were not even aware of the fact that there were still some Blood Eclipse Necklaces out in the universe. They had been sure that all of them had gone missing or been destroyed completely.

The latter couldn’t be further from the truth, while the former was just a way to tell that the Demons couldn’t find any more Blood Eclipse Necklaces and other objects that could summon and control Demons.

Of course, neither of that bothered Dilan. He just wanted to have an easy time conquering the Temple of Scorpio, without getting obstructed in any way.

It was only obvious but Dilan was powerful enough to suppress most beings that had emerged on Milarn until now. If he wouldn’t make use of that, Dilan would be stupid and missed out on many opportunities to know about dangers earlier than anyone else and have more means at his disposal to achieve things others were incapable of.

Almost one minute had passed since the Draconic Demon had threatened the residents of the Scorpio Temple when a two-meter-tall Scorpionman with a blue carapace walked out from the interior of the Temple.

The Scorpionman looked at the situation outside the temple in horror. Never in his life would he have imagined that a Draconic Demon would appear in his territory, whether it was now when Tier-3 Demons had yet to emerge on Milarn, or in the future.

There were simply too few Demons, let alone a Draconic Demon with the necessary interest to conquer new planets. Yet, the reality was bitter and a ginormous and winged Draconic Demon had somehow appeared near their temple!

However, what confused the Scorpionman, whose power allowed him to be considered an existence at the Peak of Tier-2, possibly even to fight weaker Tier-3 monsters, was that the Draconic Demon pointed at an eerily calm human before he said,

“He wants you to speak to him about anything under the sun so that his Language Comprehension ability would improve. Help him study your language in the next half an hour, or I will destroy your temple, and devour the Poison Divinity Fragment!” The Draconic Demon declared, causing the Scorpionman’s carapace to start clattering.

It was impossible to say anything against anything the Draconic Demon demanded.

Thus, the Scorpionman started to randomly speak to the human about anything he could think of. He had no idea how the human and the Draconic Demon were connected and it didn’t really matter right at this instance.

A Demon at the Peak of Tier-3 with the prowess of a Lower Tier-4 Monster was currently threatening him and his people. The first thing he had to make sure of was to please the Draconic Demon and make him leave if possible.

Dilan didn’t care what the Scorpionman thought about him after the Draconic Demon gave the commands. The only thing of importance was that he learned the language of the Scorpionman, the faster the better.

His entire focus was now directed at attempting to comprehend their spoken language. This was not easy but he had a cheat-like ability that was upgraded naturally the longer the Scorpionman spoke to him.

Dilan gave his best to understand the Scorpionman but it was much harder than expected. His passive [Language comprehension] ability had improved a lot, which made it a lot easier to understand certain things much faster than before.

Nonetheless, he had made not much progress and had yet to comprehend their language after spending half an hour trying to understand it.

“Don’t kill them. Just tell him that you give them another half an hour,” Dilan suddenly said as he perked up to the Draconic Demon, who couldn’t be less bothered about Dilan’s plan.

“I’m too bored to attack you guys. Just keep talking to him,” The Draconic Demon told the Scorpionman, who had broken into a sweat by now.

The Leader of the Scorpio Temple bowed several times to the Draconic Demon before he continued to speak to Dilan while repeating a few things in an attempt to teach Dilan.

Dilan didn’t know how fast time passed but he could tell that his Language Comprehension ability kept improving rapidly. He had never expected that his ability would improve so much but it was certainly helpful.

Thus, when the Draconic Demon’s time had worn off and the Demon disappeared through the dark gate that had emerged once again, Dilan was confident to be able to speak with the Scorpionman.

[The host’s ‘Language Comprehension’ ability has advanced to Tier-2! Congratulations!]

Dilan began to smile brightly when he saw the notification and he turned in the direction of the Leader of the Scorpionmen with a bright smile on his face.

“Soo…how about you tell me more about the Horde of Chaos and Destruction? Where exactly did you guys locate them?” Dilan asked, continuing to smile brightly even as he saw that the attitude of the Scorpionman leader had changed drastically.

“Why the hell would I tell you anything?! Your master left you without saying another word… who said that I won’t kill you???” The Scorpioman shouted all of a sudden, and Dilan had to suppress laughing out loud.

“You really think that he was my master? Aren’t you a bit foolish?” Dilan asked before he disappeared, leaving behind golden sparks as his voice resounded behind the Scorpionmen.

“I was the one controlling the Draconic Demon, not the other way around, you dumb fucker!” He uttered in a low but threatening voice as he held Xealtron’s razor-sharp blade against the Scorpionman’s neck.

He used enough pressure to cut lightly through the carapace that was supposed to protect the Scorpionman from all kinds of attacks equivalent to Tier-2 existences.

The Scorpionman felt incapable of moving and he only regained control of his body when Dilan let go of him.

“Just for your information, I’m now in charge of this temple. So if you don’t want to die, or be the cause for your peoples’ death, stay in your limits!” Dilan announced rather simply before he made his first demand as Governor of the Scorpio Temple.

“Tell me everything there is to know about this temple and the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction!”
