Undying Warlord

Testing Victoria was fun. Dilan could relax with Victoria around, which was quite an achievement, especially since they were currently surrounded by tens of thousand spiders that possessed various abilities.

Their strength ranged from Ordinary Tierless monsters to Gold Tier-1 monsters bordering on the outskirts of the Spider Queen’s Nest.

Dilan and Victoria were not able to reach the inner parts of the Nest because the tunnels leading to the inner Nest were protected by dozens of Tier-2 Spiders.

However, that was not important for the two because they focused on killing the spiders on the outskirts to collect all their Essence crystals.

Dilan leveled up [Switch], while absorbing four Essence crystals of every new type of spider he killed.

Through this, his stats improved a bit while Switch reached Tier-0 ★★★★★.

By now, [Switch] allowed him to relocate 100 Units of his stats, which was more than what he could have hoped for. It allowed him to do various things, especially since he could decide how many Units of each stat could be reallocated.

Things got a lot easier this way, which was why Dilan returned his focus on upgrading his Origin ability [Regeneration].

“It’s time for me to feel a little pain,” Dilan told Victoria when they returned to the base. He wanted to split up and fight on his own so that he wouldn’t bother anyone while inflicting lethal injuries upon himself.

However, Victoria held his wrist just when he was about to leave.

“Do you want me to help you increase your natural regeneration temporarily?” She suddenly asked, looking deep into his sky-blue eyes. Victoria’s face bore fine lines of concern and worry. She was fully aware of what Dilan was about to do and he didn’t like it.

“If you say temporarily, you don’t mean to turn me into a Vampire, I guess…how exactly do you want to help?” Dilan was clueless as to how she wanted to increase his natural regeneration but it was certainly helpful if he could believe Victoria’s words.

He thought about it for a while and believed that it would save him lots of trouble if Victoria could help.

“I won’t turn anyone into a Vampire if they don’t request it from me. Even then, I might not like it because I don’t find the thought of annoying subordinates around me entertaining. Taking care of them is a hassle, which you should know by now. Just imagine you have to lead your little group for hundreds of years… scary right?” Victoria forced a smile on her face as she spoke, and she tried to avert her focus on something else than Dilan, who looked deep into her eyes.

To her misfortune, Dilan had already detected that she looked a bit sad when she had spoken about turning someone and the topic of having subordinates.

‘It might have been a bit naive of me to believe that she had lived an easy life till now. How can life be easy if you have lived for more than a thousand years?’ He thought, believing that his earlier impression of Victoria might have been a bit foolish.

With a gentle smile, Dilan looked at her for a minute before he chose to switch the topic back to what they’d been speaking about.

“What exactly do you have to do to increase my natural regeneration?” Dilan asked, feeling genuinely intrigued.

“It’s pretty simple. You give me some of your blood, and I return it to you after altering it in my body,” Victoria explained in a simplified tone after the memories of the past were locked deep in the pits of her heart once again.

“You mean that you’ll bite me and I will bite you back?” Dilan asked in an amused tone just to make sure that he understood properly.

“Yes…and no. It doesn’t really matter if you understand what I mean but I will literally return every single drop of blood I drank from you. You will feel a bit weak after I drank your blood because I will have to drink a substantial amount of it before I can return it to you within around ten minutes,” Victoria was not sure how to explain it properly in an even simpler way than she already did.

There were many big words she wanted to use but she knew that Dilan wouldn’t really understand what she would say. After all, many of these words were something only Vampires used.

“Okay, that is fine with me. Let’s go to my room then,” Dilan nodded his head before he turned around when he finished speaking to Victoria.

She followed him as he walked to his room before they disappeared. Nobody thought that anything was wrong with Victoria clinging to Dilan, especially not after they had witnessed Victoria’s clingy behavior to the Berg sisters and Dilan during the last few days.

However, even if someone were to notice something, Victoria would be happy about it, while Dilan couldn’t care less. Others could think whatever they wanted about him such as he was a gigolo, a monster, a devil, or a Samaritan. In the end, the fact was just that he was a human…one, who was desperate for strength.

Dilan removed the Ilran Chestplate and the shirt underneath it, revealing his bare chest to Victoria, who let out a shriek the moment she saw him.

“Dilan~ What are you doing?~” She asked in excitement, licking her lips when she saw his ripped body. It looked like his body was created while keeping the image of Adonis in mind by an expert sculptor. Victoria couldn’t see a single flaw in his body’s structure, which was even rare for Vampires to possess; a perfect body.

Instinctively, Victoria approached him with fiery eyes. Her hands reached out and she began to lightly caress his chest with the tips of her fingers. It was an addictive feeling and Victoria had trouble controlling herself. She began to giggle but stopped the moment she saw Dilan’s cold eyes.

“W-what?” She stuttered, instinctively taking a step back.

“Nothing. Can you start?” Dilan asked in a perfectly normal voice. His eyes changed back to radiating gentleness just like before. It was almost as if he had never looked at her coldly.

Victoria was not sure what had just happened but even Dilan was a bit astonished about his own reaction.

‘Why did I feel so much hatred just because she touched my scars?’ He wondered in confusion. Dilan didn’t like if others touched his scars but he had never felt anger or hatred toward someone, who touched his scars before. That was weird, and an alien feeling even for Dilan.

Fortunately, the anger and hatred dispersed in an instant, and Dilan revealed his bare neck to Victoria, allowing her to bite him.

“Are you ready because it will hurt a bit?” Victoria asked before Dilan activated [Switch]. It would decrease his Health stat by more than 80 Units to make it easier for the noble Vampire to bite through his skin.

“Do it,” Dilan nodded his head before he closed his eyes awaiting the prickling sensation and the pain Victoria would bring.

A moment later, Dilan was pushed onto the bed and Victoria landed on his lap. Her arms coiled around his neck just before she pulled his head closer to her as her fangs grew out of her mouth.
