‘Would that really be a punishment, though?’ Victoria thought with a faint smile on her face before she sighed deeply after she slapped her cheeks to get back to her senses.
“Girl, you are way too naughty, just play babysitter, okay?!” She mumbled to herself, not realizing that Dilan was still in front of her.
He looked at her with a weird smile, but instead of commenting on her, Dilan just nodded his head thankfully before he said, “I owe you a favor, thanks.”
Dilan disappeared a moment later. He created a small crater on the ground, accelerated to his highest speed, and began to fight the Vampires once again.
However, instead of solely focusing on the Vampires, Dilan began to fight the bloodthirsty Ascenders as well. The Vampires’ servants also joined the fray and were killed by Dilan the moment they reached his range.
Not a single enemy could survive Dilan’s attack within a 20 meters radius. He was not too worried about Silas’ well-being, but it was never bad to check on your comrades.
But the moment he saw that Victoria was waving at him in a child-like glee, Dilan nearly lost his focus.
‘She is really a psycho…’ Dilan thought but it was not as if he felt repulsed by this kind of behavior. It allowed him to release his tension and fight the way he wanted to.
His excitement returned, and his speed accelerated even further as his battle spirit resurfaced. Dilan was ready to slaughter everyone.
Fighting felt great, and if it was possible for him to give his all it only made him feel even better. The Blazing Serpentine Blade wreaked havoc on his opponents as it cut through the air and bodies of his opponents, precisely obeying the orders given by Dilan.
His control over mana seemed to increase exceptionally with time. Dilan noticed this, which was why he began to smile brighter than before as he went up another notch.
Using [Bearer of Pain] to replenish some of his mana, Dilan kept using [Thunder Step] to allow his Agility to stay above 140 Units. However, the more Life force Dilan turned into mana, the higher the amplification [Bracing Pain] provided.
Slowly, but steadily, Dilan’s speed increased. His combat style adjusted to the increase in speed, resulting in an even more devastating scenario on the battlefield.
The Vampires and humans didn’t even realize what was happening before their heads were flung through the air and their corpses fell to the ground.
Simultaneously, those Vampires, blood Ascenders, and Servants, who had regained their sanity, and freedom, began to move away from Dilan.
They wanted to stay alive which was why the only solution they had at hand was to flee. As they ran for their lives, the Vampires, bloodthirsty Ascenders, and Vampire servants momentarily forgot that Dilan was not alone.
Williams, Ailee, Kuhn, and Oliver were still there, and they were just waiting for an opportunity to slaughter their opponents.
Kuhn was still a bit hesitant about killing his own kind, but while acting merely as support to ignite Ailee’s arrows without actively fighting a lot against the bloodthirsty Ascenders, he noticed multiple things that were connected to one viable point; the evil Ascenders were disgusting!
‘They push each other away just to be able to run away faster. They don’t care about each other’s life. There was even one, who killed their own comrades just to get away…They are using each other as meat shields to survive Ailee’s attacks, and they throw one another into hell for the sake of their own well-being…’
Kuhn was disgusted at the sight of the disloyal and traitorous bloodthirsty Ascenders. His stomach rumbled at the thought of killing them, but he could also tell that everything Dilan and the others had told them was true.
He could imagine the bloodthirsty Ascenders, the Vampires, and their servants slaughtering tens of thousand innocent humans just for the sake of selfishly claiming benefits.
‘If they act like this with their own comrades, I don’t even want to imagine what they would do to innocent children or weak and old Survivors…’ Kuhn’s hands might be trembling in fear but he was sure that it was the right decision of Dilan to bring him to witness the attack on the Blood Legion.
They couldn’t be left alive, and being scared or hesitating in the face of monsters like the bloodthirsty Ascenders was not something anyone could afford. Even if Kuhn were to be stronger than them, the moment he hesitated to kill fellow humans, he would become a corpse.
That was a fact, and something many Ascenders would have to accept.
With that in mind, Kuhn gathered all his courage to summon several fireballs to fire them at the Ascenders, who were closing upon them.
He looked them straight in the eyes, instead of looking elsewhere to see whether the fireballs flew in a smooth curve toward the battlefield.
Kuhn had been avoiding looking at their expressions, and their faces full of fear and pain when his attack landed and exploded, but not anymore.
It was disgusting and Kuhn nearly vomited but he endured it. He had to become stronger, whether it was mentally or physically!
‘I am still too weak, and too far away from becoming useful for Dilan and the others. We need to become stronger, all of us!’
With that decision in mind, everyone in the small group, who attacked the Blood Legion was ready to reap the harvest initiated by Dilan who was mercilessly slashing at the Blood Legion’s members.
There was not a single trace of hesitation in his movements, and it was only a matter of minutes before all the bloodthirsty Ascenders, Vampires and their servants would be dead.
The atmosphere was cold and gloomy. The entire battlefield was overflowing with blood, intestines, and mutilated corpses. Not a single corpse was fully intact, leading to a harrowing view that was imprinted in everyone’s minds.
Despite being gruesome, the view showed everyone that only the strong would survive, that they were the only ones, who could decide over the life and death of the people around them.
And the moment the strongest ones would decide to wreak havoc and kill everyone without exception, chaos and death would descend.
The moment Dilan said that they would have to die, everyone was bound to cease to exist. This might make some consider him cruel, bloodthirsty, a maniac, and possibly a psychopath, but he would give his everything to protect his people.
He needed them, and they needed him.
Dilan understood the situation ahead of him. There wasn’t a single powerful Ascender left because they had already died at his hands, but Dilan still enjoyed it.
His group of six was about to annihilate the Blood Legion that had consisted of more than 200 Vampires, and 2000 bloodthirsty Ascenders and Vampire servants.
They fought much better than Dilan could have wished for. His group’s fights excited him far more than anything else. In his eyes, his entire group would learn a lot from the fight against the Blood Legion.
Many things were bound to happen in the future. These events were bound to be even bloodier, more exciting, and lead to even bigger opportunities.
However, today was the day, wherein everything began for Dilan’s group.
If one were to ask which event led to the nomenclature of Dilan’s group, it was today.
Just six Ascenders had defeated thousands of opponents, without losing a single member.
It was almost as if they would be able to survive everything, whether their enemies numbered in thousands, more than that, or even Gods!
They were Undying and undefeatable.
