Thirty days were both long enough to achieve something, yet, also quite short if one thought about it.
Studying a new technique in the first trail of the Blood Monarch's Instance Dungeon was likely to require several days, if not an entire week.
With that in mind, the others had to think about what they wanted to do in the next few weeks. Following a rough schedule was helpful even if one couldn't always follow it all the time.
"By the way, are you a Vampire now, or are you a human?" Williams asked when he reached the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord after finishing everything he had to do in Shiron.
Shiron was one of the safest places in the surrounding area and there was no need for someone as powerful as Williams to waste his time. There were more than enough powerful Ascenders, who were willing to stay behind.
Meanwhile, Williams had been willing to give his all to become stronger. That was also why he had to give up on some responsibilities, including governing Shiron.
"I'm not a Vampire, but I have accepted the bloodline of the Blood Monarch's Ancestors to a certain extent. I'm still 85% Human according to the Log of the Ancient," Dilan explained for the Nth time.
"That also means you should be able to create your own small group of Vampires, or not?" Williams asked, his eyes gleaming in curiosity. The 30-year-old young man may not look like that at first glance but he was very interested in everything that happened during and after the Primordial Ascension.
There were many things he wanted to get to know, and Dilan was amongst the most knowledgeable human when it came to topics revolving around the Primordial Ascension, whether others accepted this or not.
"I can do that, but I won't bother thinking about it for the time being. Rather, I will take your leave and use the Realm Gates, if there is nothing else to discuss with me around!" Dilan declared and given that nobody dared raise a voice against him, he left.
The gaze of many followed him but nobody said a word. It was as if they had a lot to say but they didn't dare to open their mouth and ask what weighed on their heart.
"We should do as Dilan said. Everyone should come up with a plan, write it down, and show it to others. If they figure out ways to improve our schedules, they'll let us know, we will fix the schedule and try to work according to it. I know that it's very unlikely for our plan to work out perfectly fine but who cares?" Kathrine said and everyone nodded their heads before they returned to work as well.
Meanwhile, Dilan had already stepped through the Realm Gate that would take him to the realm where the Blood Monarch's Instance Dungeon had been created.
Activating [Power Appraisal] from his Headring, Dilan watched his surroundings precisely before he dashed in the direction where the most and the strongest monsters were located.
He didn't have any time to waste, which was why he activated the [Blood Sacrifice] ability of the Cursed Dagger Xealtron immediately. After that, he increased the weapon's stats augmentation to 150 Units for both his Agility and Strength.
The Cursed Dagger's [Blood Drain] decreased his Health much faster than before. However, his natural regeneration was strong enough to heal Nial through the Lifeforce that was constantly drained from him. After activating [Undying] bits of his Mana were consumed to replenish his drained Lifeforce faster.
[Taunt]! Dilan activated his Origin ability's second ability, the ability he had gained after fusing the Artifact of Traction with [Regeneration].
All the monsters he passed through noticed Dilan and they shot in his direction without hesitation. Their eyes turned bloodshot and it looked like they had lost their reasoning. Dilan began to smile when he witnessed how powerful the ability of the Artifact of Traction truly was and he continued to use it.
Taunt was fully unleashed for the next ten minutes in which Dilan did nothing else but lure monsters together. He wanted as many monsters as possible in a single place. His first attempts at luring several hundred monsters to a single location didn't work out perfectly fine but it was certainly better than he would have first expected.
With that in mind, Dilan turned towards the center of all the monsters before he jumped more than twenty meters in the air and his ring began to gleam in a blazing red tone as it heated up.
The Ring of Inferno had been supplied with a total of 200 Units of Mana that had been altered to fire-attributed Mana with the use of [Mantle of Elements]. Dilan had summoned a Basic Fire Spirit to transmute his mana before he circulated it inside the Ring of Inferno.
Now that enough mana was supplied inside the Ring of Inferno, Dilan could unleash the strongest form of the Ring's ability [Inferno of Disintegration].
Dilan's hands pointed toward the ground as a swirl of blazing flames manifested in his palms. The swirl expanded rapidly and a huge inferno manifested in moments and Dilan unleashed it upon the crowded mass of monsters below him without hesitation the moment the preparations had been completed.
After he unleashed the Inferno of Disintegration, the sounds of destruction, screams, and roars of pain, and the smell of burned flesh swarmed the surrounding area. Everyone who was able to witness the horror that unfolded right below Dilan felt pity for the unlucky monsters because they had encountered an existence like Dilan.
Fighting and getting killed was one thing but pursuing a tiny human, just to burn it to death moments later was simply too painful. There was no need to compare the two but being burned to death was simply not something anyone should ever feel.
But that was not something Dilan was bothered about. He was well aware that his actions were cruel in the eyes of others but the laws of the jungle were fair and unbiased. It would allow him to do anything he wanted to do as long as he would accept that he might get killed by someone stronger in the future.
Dilan was more than ready to accept that because he knew that nobody would bother asking him if it was fine to kill him. Instead, they would just do it exactly the way he killed the monsters in the Inferno of Disintegration!
Most monsters died the moment they got caught in the Inferno of Disintegration, while others survived with heavy burns. However, surviving the inferno didn't mean that they were allowed to escape Dilan alive. He activated [Thunder Step] and turned into a purple flash the moment he took the first step ahead.
After having summoned a Basic Lightning Spirit after he allowed the Basic Fire Spirit to leave, Dilan altered some of his remaining mana with the use of the Lightning Spirit.
His [Thunder Step] ability could be used much more smoothly than before and Dilan believed that the Agility augmentation he received from the ability had improved a tiny bit.
This may not have been necessary but Dilan wanted to improve his proficiency with the [Mantle of Elements] and see if he could upgrade it faster if he used it together with other abilities as well.
Thus he used most of his abilities in various ways, including [Switch] to decrease his Stamina by 100 Units to reallocate it to his Mana!
By possessing even more mana than usual, the higher mana replenishment effect of the Ring of Infinite Element Constitution and the Hyel Destructo Armor set showed their might to the fullest.
And that was when the fun truly started!
