Undying Warlord

“One of the noble Vampires escaped…one with an Ancient Vampire Power!” Victoria shouted, her fierce crimson eyes burning with passion.

She was exhilarated that the strongest Vampires of four Vampire Clans had been eliminated. This included their nobles and all the leaders!

After the Melza, Agilt, and Bryte family’s leaders had been killed, finishing off the Likar family was no problem at all. Beheading the Gold Tier-1 monsters was easy for Dilan and it was even easier for him to defeat the few ordinary Vampires that were left behind.

The battle ended with lots of destruction that had been caused by the Undying group but it had been worth it.

The cage of Blood-Ice created by Victoria, throwing Blazing Molotov Daggers at the masses of Vampires that had been forced to crowd together before the skyscrapers collapsed on top of the main street was a lethal combo and the Vampires’ doom.

“The noble Vampire is probably from the Likar family, I guess…well there is nothing we can do,” Dilan informed while shrugging his shoulders.

He didn’t want any noble Vampires to survive the battle because they could become stronger, create new Vampires and build a powerful army in a short period.

However, it was not as if the four Vampire Clans would be the only Vampires, who would attack the Undying group.

In the following days, several more Vampire Clans were supposed to arrive in Shiron to start their killing spree. All of this was just to retrieve the Sanctum Keys that were in Dilan’s possession.

The Vampire Clans that would attack the Undying group were bound to be more or less as strong as the other four Vampire Clans.

At least, their Vampire powers would be roughly as powerful as the other Clans’ unique Vampire Powers.

“There is nothing we can do except becoming stronger. After everyone absorbs the Blood Essences of the Vampires they killed, we will receive a good boost in our strength!” Victoria said with a scheming smile on her face.

She spoke about Vampires as if they were of a completely different race and as if she was not one herself. This was confusing sometimes but everyone around her could understand Victoria somehow.

They had heard bits of her memories, which were all not really pleasant. After the Old Vampire Lord had died, her life had not been nice, and nearly everyone in the Undying group began to accept her truly, not for being a powerful ally but just for the person she was.

“Let’s collect all the corpses. We should burn them,” Sven suddenly suggested. He climbed down from the high-rising skyscraper he had been standing on for the whole battle, looking extremely tired.

Dilan saw faint traces of blood that had been wiped away below his nose, which caused him to smile weirdly.

‘Obviously, he is completely exhausted as well. Who wouldn’t be exhausted after controlling a large battlefield that spread through the entire city?

“You did great, Sven!” Dilan suddenly applauded, causing Sven and many others to turn their heads in his direction.

“Of course, everyone did great and I am glad to have all of you by my side, but I have to say that Sven and Niko were the most important members of today’s battle. Good job!” Dilan felt that it was necessary to praise the two for their monumental efforts in eliminating major threats, which was why he did so.

Niko, the young telepath, smiled proudly, while Sven gave him a thumbs up.

After Dilan said what he felt necessary, he and everyone else started to collect all the Vampire Corpses. They retrieved their Blood Essences and absorbed them while storing those Blood Essences of the Vampire that had been killed by more than one Ascender inside a Penta-Item pouch to decide over the distribution later. While the corpses were simply thrown on top of an ever-increasing pile of dead bodies.

They were burned once all the Vampires’ corpses had been collected, while the bodies of the dead Ascenders were rowed up.

From a total of 1300 participating Ascenders, less than 50 died. The true number was in the 30s, which was a laughable contrast to the annihilation of the four Vampire Clans.

Only one of 1800 enemies seemed to have survived in exchange for 30 or so casualties on their side. This ought to be celebrated but nobody felt happy.

If each battle would deprive their group of 30 lives, the number of powerful Ascenders would decrease drastically. Everyone had witnessed the horrifying strength of the Vampires, especially the Tier-2 Vampire subordinates, and the noble Vampires’ power in today’s battle.

Only Dilan and a few others were able to fight them, which was the major reason they won, in the end. However, the terror they had caused was deeply imprinted in the minds of the Ascenders, who had witnessed the death of their own comrades.

The reality was slowly sinking in, when their adrenaline had dispersed, leaving behind the somber facts!

Dilan felt a bit bad for the deaths in his group but he also knew that they hadn’t been avoidable. The Vampires had been extremely powerful, and their average strength had been much higher than the presumed average combat prowess of the Undying group.

The more combat experience they would gather, the better it was for the Undying group, but it was also important to have enough Ascenders to fight a real battle. The Vampires, who had been killed by the Ascenders, would be extremely useful.

The reinforcement of the Ascenders’ blood and the high amount of stats one received from the Blood Essences would elevate the strength of everyone, especially Dilan, Yvonne, Victoria, and so on.

Many Ascenders revealed their high combat prowess for the first time, killing several Vampires in the process. Talents that had hidden before had been unveiled and Dilan was pretty sure that if the Undying group would nourish them, there wouldn’t be a problem eradicating the other groups of Vampires that ought to come for their blood in the future.

Looking over the masses of Ascenders, who were trying not to show how exhausted and devastated they were made Dilan smile.

The battle had been devastating for many of the Ascenders, who had once been ordinary office workers, but Dilan was pretty satisfied with how they handled the situation.

They were only required to see the bloody battlefield more often before many of them would become true Warriors.

Dilan patiently awaited this moment but he was similarly interested in seeing his own growth.

He had yet to absorb the Blood Essences of the Tier-2 Vampires and the powerful Tier-1 noble Vampires. A few of the latter had been in the possession of <Purified Platinum> Blood Essences, and he could tell that absorbing it would increase his stats a lot.

However, that was where the problem lay.

His Health stats was barely a few points away from reaching the limit of a Tier-1 existence, and some of his other stats were in a similar state.

Most of his stats were still in high demand of status points but they didn’t miss much more than 20 Units. This was neither a big gap nor small, and Dilan could tell that he had to start changing the way he approached advancing in strength.

It was time to change his tactic, and Dilan had already found a great idea that would allow his strength to elevate even further!

“Why are you looking like that…Dilan?” Kathrine suddenly asked when she joined him and the others in the group.

Dilan didn’t even realize that he looked exhilarated, which everyone noticed, but no one mentioned.

“Well, I’m excited about the future?”
