Undying Warlord

A few days passed since the incident with the Soldiers of the Blue Star camp, and the situation within Dilan’s camp was better than ever before.

Many new Ascenders had advanced to Tier-1 and were choosing [Rare] occupations as the lowest they wanted to pick to advance further.

This elevated the strength of each Tier-1 Ascender and his entire group drastically. After nearly a week had passed, Dilan had been out hunting for more than 16 hours, every single day.

His strength increased a lot, and he defeated all the different types of Clawed Bears within the Mountain Ring of the Elements.

There were a total of five types of Clawed Bears, and all of them were powerful. They possessed Gold Essence crystals with platinum-colored strands in them.

From their appearance and potency, they seemed to be the best Essence crystals Dilan had ever absorbed.

And by killing and absorbing the Essence crystals of each Clawed Bear type four times in total, Dilan’s stats rose quite a bit as well.

However, that was not the only time his stats increased because he, Ailee, and Oliver went out hunting together for two days straight. They had hunted various different monsters, of which Dilan hadn’t encountered many before.

This was quite helpful because his stats kept increasing.

After he went out with Ailee and Oliver one time, Dilan changed his focus to nurture the others as well.

He brought Xenia and Williams with him next to venture to the other Gates to search through them. Like before, they focused on hunting various types of monsters, searching for more natural resources that could be found only in the Gates, and much more._.

In the five days that had passed in total, Dilan improved a lot. Not only his stats had increased, and his level rose by two, but his overall control over his strength had increased by leaps and bounds as well

The Claws of the Clawed Bears were much stronger than the Blazing Serpentine Blade, but the Serpentine Blade’s efficiency to slaughter weak monsters in one go was simply superior.

While Dilan focused on the increase of his own strength and supported Ailee, Oliver, Williams, and Xenia, the others didn’t stay idle either.

Old Jeff was fully focused on improving his knowledge about forging. There were various new things he learned every single day, and it looked like it wouldn’t take much longer before it was possible for him to create his first wand.

The wand wouldn’t be perfect in the first attempt, and Dilan knew that it would be faulty in certain ways, but Old Jeff continued to work hard, to improve, and to make everything he wanted to achieve possible.

Creating wands was not his final goal, it was just one of the many steps he needed to master in order to become a real blacksmith in the age after the Primordial Ascension.

He had more than enough blueprints to study thanks to the hard work of everyone who collected Essence crystals to exchange them with treasures.

But that was also what pressured Old Jeff a lot.

‘If my forged goods are not better than Bronze Tier-1 treasures, it won’t be of any use for anyone. Bronze Tier-1 treasures have even additional stats…everyone will likely receive a Bronze Tier-1 weapon, and a few pieces of armor as long as they exchanged enough treasures at the correct Gate…’

This was Old Jeff’s biggest trouble. What was the use of a blacksmith if nobody were to use his goods? Only the Serpentine Blade was still somewhat demanded. Not many wanted it, but there were a few Ascenders, who had seen its might when Dilan wielded it.

Thus, they wanted to try using it on their own. Some would continue to use it, while others would be too scared to injure themselves or their colleagues accidentally.

However, Old Jeff was not the only one, who was concerned about the future of his occupation.

Sarah might be in huge demand and everybody lined up in front of her for potions, but they didn’t have many Lumina crystals left. She couldn’t concoct enough mana replenishment potions to meet everyone’s demand.

This was simply impossible, whether it was due to the lack of resources, or the lack of helping hands.

Not many Survivors had the necessary dexterity and patience to become an Alchemist. Even Sarah might not be able to pull it off without her passive ability [Multitasking].

The ability helped her a lot, and it allowed her to do many things others were not good at. Multitasking was not easy, after all.

However, the biggest problem for Sarah was not the concoction of the mana replenishment potion. Instead, it was the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>.

Kathrine and Yvonne had conquered the Pagoda of Time up to the 11th floor more than 10 times in the last five days.

This was a remarkable achievement, even more so due to the difference in time within and outside the Pagoda of Time.

There were tens of thousands of Essence crystals Sarah had received stored inside a single Penta-Item pouch.

It was great that they had treasures to store stuff inside. However, that didn’t make things easier for Sarah because it was far from easy for her to concoct the Potion of Enhancement.

The concoction process was over ten times more arduous, and complex. As a result, the pressure weighing on Sarah was terrifying.

With every failed attempt, close to 1500 Essence crystals were destroyed and turned useless.

Sarah was stingy and not someone who would dare to spend that many Essence crystals on the creation of a single potion.

But the sisters gave her indisputable reasons that made clear how important the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness> was.

In the end, Sarah had to agree that the sisters were right. However, this didn’t mean that her heart didn’t ache whenever she failed in concocting the potion.

It was simply too difficult to switch from the Mana replenishment potion to the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>.

Only after a total of 10 attempts was it possible for Sarah to create the first Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>. Sarah had been absolutely devastated afterward and had been inclined to give up becoming an Alchemist altogether.

However, Kathrine and Yvonne’s bright faces upon seeing the Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness> was more than enough for her to continue with renewed vigor.

The sisters had been overjoyed upon hearing that it was possible for Sarah to actually concoct the potion.

They had been a little bit worried that it might be too complex for Sarah because her experience in concocting other potions was simply too low.

Both potions she had learned to concoct were rather simple and didn’t need a mastermind to comprehend them first.

The more experience Sarah gained, the easier it was for her to concoct a Potion of Enhancement <Swiftness>. This was even more so the case after her first success.

She recalled every single step she had taken in her first successful attempt, repeated it, and became better and better while negating her flaws.

In the end, after all the resources Sarah had been provided with were used up, a total of 4 Potions of Enhancement <Swiftness> had been created.

With the creation of 4 Potions of Enhancement <Swiftness>, it was possible to give an Ascender three potions to make full use of them, or to give one potion to one Ascender each.

However, the latter was not something the sisters bothered about. They knew that Dilan had the hardest time increasing his stats after he secretly shared with them the meaning of his Cursed Blessings.

Thus, Dilan was given three Potions of Enhancement <Swiftness> the moment they had been created.

That was their way of showing Dilan how important he was to them, and that it was necessary for him to be the strongest, and to continue leading them.

It was only because of Kathrine and Yvonne’s care for him that Dilan’s stats increased even further, that they slowly approached the threshold he was eager to reach.
