Undying Warlord

"That monster was stronger than the ones we usually encounter, or am I wrong?" Kathrine asked with her gaze on the body of the Cerberus.

The Cerberus' body was torn apart and Dilan was now standing in front of it. He removed the monster's Essence crystal before he took a look around to make sure that there were no more monsters similar to the Cerberus.

However, there was no living being except the three women and two men, who had emerged from the exotic Gate after Dilan.

They looked at him with conflicted expressions but Dilan just ignored them. There was no need for him to explain himself because his personality was already well known.

"It's a Peak Diamond Tier-2 Monster with stats only someone at Tier-3 is supposed to be able to reach," He thus answered rather simply, showing the others the hand-sized Essence Crystal that looked just like a huge diamond. It crumbled into countless pieces as Dilan empowered his Growth type Armor Set with some Essence.

There were five pieces of equipment he could upgrade and Dilan wouldn't stop before each of them reached the Diamond Tier-2 ranking.

He looked in the further distance to see exactly where they were located and Dilan quickly noticed that they were basically on a huge plains area without any borders.

In other Gates, there were always restrictions, whether they had been created naturally or artificially. It was not possible to charge through these restrictions, which was also why Gates were considered dungeon portals due to the NEEDS of the Undying Group.

Dilan accepted this name as well because it was pretty obvious that the Gates acted quite similar to the dungeon portals one knew from games and novels.

Nonetheless, they were called Gates, which was why Dilan kept using the name.

"Do you guys think we've been teleported to a different planet?" Yvonne asked all of a sudden and both Dilan and Sven nodded their heads nearly at the same time.

"It's definitely possible, but I would have to take a look," Dilan said before the ground below him burst open as he dashed forward. He sprinted in a particular direction for more than a minute while [Thunder Step], [Second Acceleration], and [Switch] were fully unleashed. After the minute passed, he slowly walked back toward his teammates while observing everything in his surrounding area.

"I didn't see any other races but there is definitely no restriction to how far we can go. Looks like we're on a planet filled with monsters, or there are some hidden civilizations somewhere around us," He explained before giving the others a rather detailed report of what exactly he had seen.

There was a lot to say, but if one had to give a brief summary, one could say that there were monsters up to Mid Tier-4, several settlements of monsters such as Goblins, Kobolds, Minotaurs, Centaurs, and many more.

The greenery was flourishing and it looked like nature was, by far, the strongest force out there.

"So…we really are on a different planet? That knowledge feels a little bit weird…" Williams couldn't help but mumble. He was pretty sure that they were merely in a different and restricted dimension because the surrounding environment didn't feel much different from Milarn.

While the others had begun to discuss various topics with each other, Dilan was more focused on his surrounding area.

There were a few things that annoyed him a little bit when it came to his finds in the surroundings such as the lack of sole monsters, but things were quite interesting when it came to the creation of settlements made up of a single type of race.

Dilan had seen several dozen settlements in the short time he had run in a single direction. That made it quite clear that the monsters around him were different to the wild monsters in Milarn.

"Let's not bother about that. We should go out to hunt!" Dilan suggested while looking at the others, who were still talking to each other. They had yet to come to a conclusion on what they should do next when Dilan had already summoned four Basic Wind Spirits.

By now, it was possible for Dilan to create weak air currents with the use of his own comprehension of Green Magic, but it was still better to use Basic Wind Spirits to his advantage.

As long as he used Spirits, it would be much easier for him to use the four Basic Elements and the Lightning Element. That was why he kept using the Spirits even if it was not actually necessary.

Everyone turned their focus toward Dilan, who pointed far in the distance.

"So we're just going to hunt monsters until we're at Level 50 and our stats are maxed out?" Victoria asked, not sure what else they could do.

"We can also collect high-ranked Essence crystals to exchange them with high-ranked treasures at the Gate. And we have to increase the rank of our abilities. There is a technique I want to test out as well!" Yvonne declared and everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

Dilan didn't need Essence crystals to exchange with other treasures at the Gate but he wanted to improve his Armor Set's rank as much as he could. If possible, he would have loved to increase his ability to Tier 2, preferably to a high star ranking.

He was not sure if abilities had a limit in terms of how much they could be improved but that was something he would find out sooner or later.

"There are lots of things we can improve, don't worry," Dilan reassured his teammates before pointing in a specific direction once again.

There was a nearby Kobold settlement he had seen earlier and if he was not wrong there were a bunch of Trolls that were about to attack and destroy the Kobold settlement.

"Let's exploit this situation to our advantage as much as possible!" Dilan declared before he set off at a slow pace.

The others were left with no other option but to follow him, which they did without hesitation.

They ran behind him, using all their might in an attempt to keep up with Dilan. Keeping up with him was not possible but he slowed down after a while to focus on his surroundings rather than running as quickly as possible.

"There they are!" Dilan updated the others while pointing at the far distance where he saw more than ten Tier-3 Trolls, led by a Tier-4 Troll Warrior wreaking havoc in the Kobold settlement he had seen earlier as well.

'Looks like the Kobolds are having a hard time…well that was something I expected to find!' Dilan thought and it was already a surprise that the Kobolds were able to hold their fort for a few minutes.

Dilan was pretty sure that [Power Appraisal] saw that there was no Tier-4 Kobold in the Kobold settlement. Thus, it shouldn't be difficult for the Tier-4 Troll Warrior to decimate the Kobold settlement all by himself.

It seemed like a menial task for the Tier-4 Troll Warrior yet, the given situation showed that there was something huge going on in front of him.

"If you guys are not ready to fight some Low Tier-3 Monsters, I recommend you to stay behind," Dilan opined as he slowed down further to make sure that the others would follow his action.

"In the worst case, we can just work together to fight a Low Tier-3 Monster, don't worry about us!" Kathrine spoke proudly, trying to show off that she was ready to fight Tier-3 monsters.

But Dilan could only shake his head.

"There is more than just one Tier-3 monster for you to fight at the same time, and I will be busy fighting some anomaly and a Tier-4 Troll Warrior!"
