Undying Warlord

385 Suicidal

Dilan's eyes lit up in delight.

Witnessing the destructive battle between the red-scaled Sea Serpent and the Blazing Spinosaurus was something he wouldn't be able to see for a long time after the abyssal-difficult advancement mission was over.

Thus, Dilan watched everything that happened with great vigilance and detail.

"It doesn't feel like they are activating their system's abilities but that everything they do is incorporated in their mind and body as if they do it on will. Is that what happens when you advance to Tier-4?" He wondered as he watched the Spinosaurus bone fin vibrate on its back.

This caused a terrifyingly loud noise that ended up affecting the Sea Serpent that had been targeted by the attack. The red-scaled Sea Serpent was weakened a bit, which provided the opportunity for the Blazing Spinosaurus to appear in front of the Sea Serpent and to dig its claws and massive head deep into the monster's flesh.

The Spinosaurus tore apart the Sea Serpent's flesh. Yet, instead of accepting to get eaten alive, the red-scaled Sea Serpent retaliated in an instant. The red scales that were gobbled by the Spinosaurus began to glow brightly before they exploded in the throat, mouth, and stomach of the beast.

Dilan's eyes widened at this sight. The explosive red scales were not extremely powerful against Tier-4 existences but they were like tiny grenades with huge firepower. Tier-3 monsters would die the moment a single red scale would explode in their stomach.

The Blazing Spinosaurus didn't escape the explosions unscathed. It sustained mild injuries that worsened with every move the Blazing Spinosaurus did.

Meanwhile, the red-scaled Sea Serpent had yet to finish retaliating against the Blazing Spinosaurus. It turned its huge head in the Spinosaurus' direction and created a second searing hot water blast. It intended to kill the Spinosaurus by blasting the highly compressed water straight at the Spinosaurus with as much force as possible.

This would inevitably lead to a worse injury and hopefully kill the Spinosaurus.

However, Dilan just shook his head.

"The water blasts require too much time to be used properly…though it is extremely powerful," He mumbled mostly to himself as he saw that the Blazing Spinosaurus disappeared from its position, leaving behind an afterimage created out of blazing flames.

It reappeared above the Sea Serpent's head and sunk its huge claws deep into the head of the monster that tried to shake its head by throwing itself around.

Unfortunately, it was already too late at this point. The Spinosaurus' large and razor-sharp claws had dug deep into the skull of the Sea Serpent that struggled with all its might.

Huge blazing flames shrouded the Spinosaurus' claws, seemingly enlarging them in the process. The sound of loud cracks reverberated through the surrounding area and Dilan's eyes widened slightly.

"It's already over? That's quite disappointing…I didn't expect the red-scaled Sea Serpent to die so quickly…" He blurted out in disappointment before he sensed something that caused his eyes to widen even further. He swallowed his saliva and turned around in an instant.

A single drop of sweat trickled down his forehead after he activated [Switch] to reallocate some of his Health, Stamina, and Mana to his Agility, just to use more than 40 Mana Units, thereby activating [Thunder Step] and 15 Units of Mana to activate [Second Acceleration].

For a moment, Dilan's Agility crossed 1000 Units, burdening his body to an extent Dilan had never faced before.

However, what he faced was even more dangerous than straining his body, or sustaining injuries from being in possession of too high stats. The red-scaled Sea Serpent had used every single bit of its mana at once and its red scales had begun to light up at the same time.

Dilan might be mistaking something but he was pretty sure that the red-scaled Sea Serpent was doing something suicidal.

The monster knew that it was going to die fighting the Blazing Spinosaurus and that its efforts to save itself would be futile. Thus, instead of accepting its death just like everyone would have been forced to do, the red-scaled Sea Serpent wanted to make one last attempt to take the Blazing Spinosaurus down and with itself into the afterlife.

In a suicidal move, it overcharged its red scales with mana and allowed all of them to explode simultaneously.

The might of the hand grenade-like scales that could injure Tier-3 monsters had been elevated to the power of a proper bomb with the might of hundreds of thousand tiny scales to lay destruction.

'This fucking shithead will destroy the entire abandoned island!!' Dilan could only think as he rushed in the direction of the abandoned island that was the farthest from their current position.

Dilan didn't know how much time he was left with but he used all his might and an Agility equal to 1000 times the average human before the Primordial Ascension.

This was more than enough to allow him to reach the desired position in seconds. No sooner had that happened, Dilan heard a tiny crackling noise that sounded almost as if a spark had been ignited and he instinctively turned around.

Goosebumps spread all over his body in an instant and he could hardly prevent his entire being from freezing in place, just like all the other monsters, who stared blankly in the direction of the abandoned island's center.

"Fuck it…" He could only curse as the humongous explosion that entered his sight all of a sudden was reflected in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he used all his might to turn in the direction of the wide ocean as he jumped as far as possible.

And just a moment later, Xealtron was stored in his storage ring, replaced by Balzaki, the heavy greatsword that was supposed to pull him faster deep into the pits of the ocean.

'I will fucking kill you if you drowned the entire island, you fucking serpent!!' Dilan thought in frustration as he took a deep breath before he entered the depths of the ocean.

He was sinking quickly, and one would usually look deep into the abyss-like darkness of the ocean. However, Dilan was much more concerned about the darkness than the shockwave that blasted through the air. It was a searing hot heatwave that swept through the air.

It eradicated every single living being it encountered, whether they were Tierless, or Tier-4 existences. Dilan swallowed his saliva, wondering what the hell his influence had led to.

'I'm basically at fault for the death of all beings that had been on the abandoned island, right?' He wondered for a moment, feeling somehwat weirded out and excited at the same time.

After all, if the system accepted his influence of the situation, it was not impossible for him to make use of all the Essence crystals…if they didn't melt or break due to the searing heat the Sea Serpent's suicidal bombing action had caused in the first place.

However, Dilan didn't even have the necessary time to think about this because something of far more importance happened moments after the Sea Serpents had committed suicide.

A painful howl reverberated through the entire ocean, carried by the water currents and Dilan's gaze involuntarily moved down to the base of the Ocean, where he saw something that caused his heart to skip a beat.

Ginormous emerald glowing eyes several times the size of the humongous Sea Serpents could be seen in the darkness of the ocean, and even without truly understanding who exactly these eyes belong to, Dilan figured out a particular fact that shocked him to the core.

'The island is actually a… monster?!''
