Undying Warlord

While Dilan was taking his time to heal, the situation outside the remnants of Shiron was a lot more hectic.

The ten thousand Ascenders, led by the middle-aged man, who had initiated the attack on Shiron after what had happened to his family, seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

They vanished and it looked like they didn't leave behind even a trace of their presence.

However, this made things even more unbelievable when a Scout of the Undying group returned after taking a look at Shiron.

Being able to use messengers, there had never been a lack of communication between Shiron and the Undying group in the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord.

The communication between them had decreased even more than before when the group of vile criminals had taken charge of everything all of a sudden, but even they didn't stop communicating with the Undying Group's headquarters to make sure that no one would be suspicious about the change of leaders in Shiron.

Thus, it was surprising when no one from Shiron contacted the Undying Group for several days, and the reason for all of this was shocking.

The Scout took three days to reach what was left of Shiron, investigate if there was someone left alive, and what happened in Shiron before he finally returned to the headquarters.

Everyone was shocked about the news he had shared; that Shiron had been destroyed in its entirety by something that seemed like a meteorite shower.

There wasn't a lot of information the Scouts could share, just the fact that he didn't find anyone alive, that only the city and its outskirts had been destroyed, and that he was unable to identify the few human corpses he found...or what he presumed to have once been humans.

Dilan's corpse was not found. Thus, people began to hope that he would appear in the Sanctum at any moment.

However, when a week passed without any news of Dilan, they started to doubt if their hopes were futile.

Worry overcame the women and even Sven, Williams and the others began to question if Dilan was still alive.

They didn't want him dead, but it was not normal for Dilan to disappear without saying anything.

He could do whatever he wanted to do, but he always told others when he was about to disappear for a few days.

That was just how he was...usually.

While Williams, Sven, and the others tried to prevent the news of Dilan's presumed death from spreading like wildfire and creating panic, Victoria, Kathrine and Yvonne made a quick decision.

They didn't believe that Dilan was dead and assumed that he must have been in a tricky situation that prevented him from coming back and messaging them.

Thus, they forced a few people to follow them as they made their way toward Shiron to find him.

What they found was even more shocking than the information the Scout had shared with them.

"..." For a few minutes, nobody was able to utter a single word.

They stared mindlessly at the huge crater and the now cooled-down black meteorite that protruded out of the center of the ground of the once bustling city.

"Is...Dilan really here?" Kathrine asked, horrified by the answer she was bound to receive.

"I pinned my [Soul Radar] ability to our Boss...he should be here...somewhere," A young woman in her 20s with short blond hair answered quietly while she tried to make eye contact with any of the three women, who stared daggers at her.

"Where exactly?" Victoria finally asked after half a minute of silence had passed.

Her eyes had turned crimson and bloody red miasma emerged from her body.

Fury radiated from every cell of her body and she was ready to kill the young woman if she would dare to deny her request.

However, the young woman followed the order she had received and she lifted her trembling hand to point at the humongous meteorite.

"H-his last position is there...below the meteorite..." She spoke with a trembling voice and the expression of the three women changed instantly.

"No...that cannot be...That's impossible!" Kathrine screamed in disbelief and her eyes kept widening. They turned teary and it wouldn't take her much to start crying bitterly.

"How can he just...noooo!!!" Victoria wailed bitterly while Yvonne just stared at the meteorite with an aghast face, not saying a word for quite a while.

She was deep in thoughts and her expression changed a little.

"I don't sense the death of a powerful being from that place though...My Origin ability should sense it...is he really dead?" Yvonne asked, unable to understand what was going on with her Origin ability [Angel of Death].

It shouldn't be possible for her not to notice the death aura that radiated from a powerful being such as Dilan.

The stronger a being, the higher the potency of the death aura of a being after it died.

The death aura would spread out and fill the surrounding area, and the stronger it was the wider the range in which it would fill the surrounding area.

That was also why battlefields, where countless powerful beings were slaughtered, would often give birth to Death Domains, where powerful Undeads would be resurrected.

"He is dead...in fact, he died hundreds of times, but he is still alive..." A middle-aged woman with black hair and dark circles under her eyes said as her dark eyes started to turn pitch-black, without leaving a single white spot.

"What the hell do you mean?!? Speak facts!!" Victoria howled as she clenched her fists threateningly.

"It's literally what I said. He died hundreds of times but he is still alive. That's what my ability tells me. I cannot tell you more than that," the woman stated calmly as she turned her head toward Victoria before staring deep into her eyes.

Victoria had calmed down a bit while looking at the woman but she was still glaring at her.

"So he is alive...?" She ended up asking, just for the middle-aged woman to sigh deeply.

"Of course he is. The name of our group has a reason," she said and a change of her expression appeared for the first time.

"He is Undying, after all!"
