Undying Warlord

Dilan was satisfied with the growth of strength his comrades had and his abilities after they had advanced to Tier 2.

They were extremely powerful and Dilan conquered two more settlements and plundered through them before stepping out of the exotic Gate afterward.

With enough Essence Crystals to upgrade his Armor Set, Dilan didn’t hesitate anymore as he used up the accumulated Essence Crystals.

The following changes allowed him to become much stronger than he could have expected.

[[Hyel Destructo] Diamond Tier-2 treasure.

All of his stats except Stamina were above 500 Units if one were to include the amplifications he received from all the pieces of equipment he was wearing.

He was decked up in powerful equipment from head to toe that was only known in myths, wielding weapons that were never supposed to have reached his hand, and with abilities that increased his strength to a degree where nobody could know for sure just how strong Dilan was.

The short demonstration when he had fought the injured Shapeshifted Kobold and the Tier-4 Troll Warrior was still imprinted in the mind of the human Ascenders.

They could tell that it wouldn’t be possible for them to face Dilan head-on, even if all of them were to work together.

Overwhelming power was simply too advantageous in a fight, no matter who the opponent was or what the prevailing circumstances were.

Thus, even upon returning, the five human Ascenders were still thinking about ways to increase their strength drastically.

With Dilan by their side, it was easy to become stronger but they could also tell that they needed some powerful equipment to increase their strength. Abilities linked to treasures were usually quite helpful as well, and that was something Dilan had showcased pretty obviously.

He wielded two different daggers that were both powerful and could enhance the wielder’s strength drastically, three Accessories with powerful abilities and reinforcement in his Mana, and an Armor Set consisting of five pieces of Armor.

Nobody else was in possession of so many high-ranked treasures. Some may have a bunch of pieces of equipment but it was rare for people to find exotic treasures like his that often made even his people feel envious.

“I will accept my next advancement mission now, we should support each other if that’s necessary for our missions, so just tell me if you need my help!” Dilan said before he accessed the Log of the Ancient.

Without giving it much thought, Dilan chose the Abyss difficulty advancement mission.

He wanted as many Ability merits as possible for the completion of the advancement mission. That way, it wouldn’t be long before he could upgrade [Mana Slash] and [Aegis’ Shield].

Dilan was quite excited about advancing to the third Tier because it would become a lot more difficult to reach the stat capacity of a Tier-3 existence. He would have to fight and kill thousands of powerful existences just to marginally increase his level and stats.

Dilan predicted that his status limit for most stats would be around 750 at Tier 3 while others had a limit of 500 Units. [Will of the Primordial] caused this difference and it was something he was both thankful for and annoyed about. After all, the Cursed Blessing caused him to require ten times more Essences and status points to improve than others.

Picking the Abyss difficulty advancement mission without hesitation, Dilan awaited the next system notification, hoping to receive an easy mission.

[The host’s power, achievements, and potential has been taken into consideration while choosing the advancement mission to Tier 3. Mission selected; Unite Camsun!]

Dilan scowled upon reading the last two words.

“You want me to unite the fucking continent?!? Are you sure that you’re not mentally ill, system???” Dilan shouted all of a sudden and the others turned around to look at him.

“Ehm…I think you need more help with your mission than we…” Victoria blurted out but she stopped abruptly when Dilan started glaring at her.

“We…can help you, no worries,” She added in a small voice after a while but Dilan could only sigh deeply.

“I will need everyone’s help for that…I guess…” he said, feeling a little bit frustrated. It would have been fine to conquer and unite the Shikan plains but Camsun was several times larger than the Shikan plains.

That made things a little bit frustrating, especially when it came to uniting the place.

p-a- n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、 ‘I will have to defeat the Red Dragon to unite Camsun as well, won’t I?’ Dilan was growing increasingly annoyed and he began scratching the back of his head.

To make sure that everything would work out as he wanted, the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction on Camsun had to be killed as well.

This disrupted his plan a little bit and it made things a lot more difficult than he had hoped for.

He continued scratching the back of his head and his thoughts went astray.

“I have slaves…and it should be possible to get my hands on a bunch of loyal subordinates by turning a few humans into Vampires…will that be enough though?” Dilan was not sure how many human settlements called Camsun their home but he could tell that there would be a bunch of Temples all around the continent.

Conquering them would be easy, but Dilan was pretty sure that he didn’t want to offend tens of races at once.

In the future that would be fine, but for now, he was forced to pay most of his attention to uniting the continent instead of destroying it.

That was essentially what the content of the abyss difficulty advancement mission was and Dilan wanted to make sure that everything would work.

“Can you guys ask how long the long-legged lizards will need until they’re matured or if they have already given birth to a new litter? Afterward please gather some people, who feel like becoming Vampires. Tell them that they would become my subordinates after getting turned,” Dilan instructed the five Ascenders before starting to think about what else he should do.

“Why the hell am I supposed to unite the continent?!?”
