Undying Warlord

For the Survivors who were still having dinner, it was quite weird to see Dilan stabbing himself.

It had already been shocking to see his naked upper body that was riddled with old wounds, but when they saw the blood trickling down the blade Dilan pulled out of him as if it was nothing, they couldn’t help but put down their plates.

A fountain of blood spurted out of the deep cut he had inflicted on himself.

However, it was less than a minute later that he had stopped bleeding already.

This was amongst the weirdest of the entire situation.

Dilan’s injury from the morning didn’t require much attention anymore. It had already healed to a large extent.

But that was already astonishing, to begin with.

Not minding the Survivors’ eyes that were fixated on him, Dilan smiled lightly as a message popped up in front of him.

He sensed how his Health stat increased, followed by his healing capacities that increased alongside as well.

His Origin ability was upgraded once again, reaching Tier-0 ★★★ without causing any problems.

[[Regeneration]- Tier-0 ★★★

[+9 Health], Passive →Enhances regeneration

Active →Uses up 1 unit of Mana to further enhance the regeneration effect for 10 seconds!]_-.

His Health stat increased by 4 points, which was more than he had expected by one point.

This meant that he would heal even faster which was even better for Dilan.

However, even then, Dilan didn’t really feel like stabbing himself again for now.

The requirements to further enhance his Origin ability were to survive a total of eight deadly injuries.

Thus, he required three more deadly injuries.

But owing to the fact that he required a Health stat of 20, Dilan postponed stabbing himself for the time being.

He had other things that he wanted to do such as increasing his overall strength, taking a look at how talented the others were, what kind of groups he wanted to put together in their small community, and to accumulate loads of Essence to get his hands on an occupation!

Because all of this was important, he ate his fill without actually paying attention to how much he was eating.

Dilan was done eating in no time, which led him to gather around the group of Ailee and the others.

Kathrine and Yvonne were also in this group. They were currently looking over the list that Dilan, Ella and Kathrine had created.

Most Survivors filled in the requested information.

This was quite helpful because it allowed their entire group to figure out which Survivors wanted to focus on what kind of role in their group.

Almost no one wanted to stay idle, but that was quite obvious.

First of all the new Survivors were thankful for having been saved. Fearing that they would be thrown out, they chose to provide their help in several ways.

On the other hand, there weren’t many lazy Survivors in their old group either if he were to exclude two or three entitled middle-aged or even older Survivors.

But even they felt a little bit bored doing nothing after eight days had passed. And now they wouldn’t even get the same amount of food as before if they didn’t work for it!

As such, they chose to write down some basic things they were capable of.

The middle-aged man with the broken wrist wrote down something as well, but he wouldn’t be able to do anything he listed owing to his broken hand.

Dilan presumed that this was because the middle-aged man wanted to take revenge on him.

Unfortunately, Dilan couldn’t care less as he simply did not take the bait.

Instead of being bothered about him, he averted his attention to other pieces of information that were much more intriguing.

“In total, 33 Survivors want to fight. This already includes us, but still…that is much more than I expected!”

Yet, even after reading that so many Survivors wanted to become powerful Ascenders, Dilan couldn’t help but be slightly astonished about the abilities they had bound to themselves.

Almost every new Survivor had bound an ability that was suitable to the occupation they listed down.

This shouldn’t be a coincidence, which was something that Dilan was able to prove not long after when Ailee spoke about the idea the new Survivors had come up with.

The ability crystals were bartered amongst everyone who procured one!

There was a specific reason behind this as many Survivors wanted to pursue a specific occupation.

For example, some of them wanted to fight but had a bad ability to make use of in combat.

As such, the new Survivors began to trade them with each other, so that everyone could get whatever they wanted.

In the end, everyone was able to make use of the abilities they bartered, which was very good, even if Oliver, Pierre, and Sarah had hoped to get their hands on some abilities!

They wanted to become more powerful and the quickest way was to bind a powerful ability.

But their complaints did not matter much because more Ascenders meant more combatants.

If all of them were trained properly, they would be able to clear the Rian mountainside Hospital much faster than initially expected.

And this would just be the beginning because more powerful Ascenders meant that they could go hunting in the mountainside, which would help them procure the food and meat they required.

However, this was under the condition that the meat of mutated animals was still edible!

As such, at the end of the day, everyone was quite satisfied with how things went for the day.

Dilan’s behavior and the fact that he stabbed himself twice were still hard to digest for some of them.

Nevertheless, as an Ascender one could clearly sense that Dilan’s body had become stronger and that his body healed much faster after he stabbed himself for the second time!

Because this was something one could perceive rather easily, nobody dared to ask him why he inflicted injuries on himself.

Dilan might tell them the truth, but everyone who thought about asking him this couldn’t help but think that the answer might be more disturbing than they imagined.

Thus, they stayed silent, only for Dilan and the others to come up with a plan on how to train everyone as well as possible.

This included Oliver, Ailee, and even Kathrine as well.

It might be true that those three were the strongest right after Dilan, but comparing their strength with each other wouldn’t give them a true idea of their strengths and weaknesses.

Kathrine even doubted that her [Lightning strike] would have any use against him because the ability took her a whole second to charge up.

And this second would be more than enough for Dilan to kill her.

This was something Kathrine was quite sure about!

“How about we allow the new Survivors to recuperate for two more days before we lead them through the next few floors of the Rian mountainside Hospital?

I mean Dilan and Kathrine said that the monsters outside are much stronger. That means as long as they take care of the stronger zombies, there shouldn’t be too many surprises, right?”

Pierre came up with this idea. He shared what was on his mind without holding back.

His strength might be the lowest in the entire group but he didn’t shy away from speaking owing to his [Calm mind] passive ability that allowed him to overcome his hesitation.

Dilan thought that Pierre’s idea was quite logical.

And he even believed that it was for the best to clear the entire hospital as quickly as possible.

After all, the strength of all monsters was rapidly increasing.

That meant the mutated Bronze monsters inside the hospital might soon choose occupations and become Tier-1 existences!

This was not something to joke about, which was why Dilan nodded his head before suggesting,

“Let’s scout the stronger monsters on the higher floors of this tower tomorrow. Those who want to join us are welcome, and the others are allowed to rest….I feel like we will have to face much more than some zombies in a few days…”

Dilan had a premonition, and all of this was owing to the permanent Gate.

It was almost as if the dense mana fluctuations of the Gate had told him something, and were giving him a warning.

But he was unable to understand what the dense mana fluctuations wanted from him.

As such, he missed out on the most important facts…which was something he would regret later…or maybe not?
