Undying Warlord

Dilan looked down at the masses of monsters that had gathered all around the two mountains.

There were thousands of monsters ranging from Tierless up to the third Tier, and they were all falling over each other, tearing one another apart in the attempt to get their hands on a little bit more Primordial blood.

"Yo…can you guys be a little bit silent? I need some peace around me to think…" Dilan grumbled and he was just about to release some mana when he sensed that his body didn't want to listen to him.

[The Host's entire existence has been strained too much. Rest well and come back stronger!]

A system notification had popped up, but upon reading it, Dilan felt that the content of the message was different than usual.

'Since when are the messages so informal?' He wondered for a moment before he averted his attention back to the black system notifications.

[The Primordials have used the Debt of Orixlam, and their wish will be granted! The Primordial Ascension forcefully initiated the end of the 3rd Awakening Phase.]

[The Fourth Awakening Phase of the Primordial Ascension will begin in 100 Days! Good Luck!]

The third phase of the Primordial Ascension was likely to be the Battlefields of the Ancient Gods and the Gates of Thousand Realms, but that was what confused Dilan.

He was pretty sure that only Camsun had eliminated the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction, thereby initiating the Primordial Ascension's third phase. The tricky part was that the fourth phase was about to start in 100 days while the second phase of Milarn's planetary awakening had not even been completed.

"That will become a big mess…" He mumbled while continuing to hover in the air.

Oddly enough it wasn't taxing for him to exert Green Magic. On the contrary, exerting Green Magic allowed him to feel refreshed. Following his rapid mana replenishment speed, he could also exert his Origin ability at any time and speed up his 'resting' period.

He couldn't be certain about that but it was likely for the 4th Awakening Step to also be the last one for Milarn. Of course, that was only something he guessed based on the information Ariel Silvertale had told him before.

Her information could have been wrong, or Milarn could be a special planet that required a special final awakening.

Dilan didn't know about that, and it actually didn't matter all that much. The only thing of importance was that several phases of the planet's awakening were occurring at the same time.

That shouldn't be the case, which meant that the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction should be eliminated.

However, Dilan was too lazy to do so on his own. He didn't really care about the survival of the other continents. Even Arikan's future was not of importance to him anymore.

His sisters should have arrived in the Sanctum located in the Shikan plains by now, meaning that the only land of importance was Camsun.

"As long as I can protect my sisters, the people I love, and the people they care about, everything will be fine!" Dilan told himself with a far away look in his eyes.

The air looked so empty, was free of restriction, and full of opportunities. That was what Dilan saw in the cloudless sky. It made him feel a little bit weird, especially now that his biggest dream had finally been attained.

"He is dead…killed by my hands, shouldn't I be satisfied with myself now that the terror is finally over?" Dilan wondered, speaking his doubt out loud.

He was ready to return home but the black notifications annoyed him. There were only 100 days left before the 4th Awakening would start. That was not enough time for him to advance to the next Tier…but it might be enough time for him to reach the peak of Tier 3.

Dilan had been granted 200 status points, which he had yet to allocate. At the same time, his status points were already high, to begin with. He had gained less status points and Essence from absorbing Essences because he had a unique passive occupational ability, and a Cursed Blessing.

However, neither of that was actually restricted to his strength. On the contrary, both the Cursed Blessing and his passive occupational ability [Unparalleled Warrior's Physique] were something that increased his strength. It allowed him to defeat higher-tiered existences, which provided him with more Essence and status points.

"System, use my unassigned status points to max out my Mana, and use the rest to increase my Agility!" Dilan ordered after pondering about what he should do, and it took only moments for him to sense the changes.

[122 unassigned status points have been allocated to the host's Mana!]

[<Mana> Stat has reached the improvement limitation of a Tier-3 existence! The host's mana cannot be further improved without advancing to Tier 4, or without meeting special conditions!]

[78 unassigned status points have been allocated to the host's Agility!]

Dilan was satisfied with this result. His Health was higher than his Mana, but that was only obvious. He possessed an Origin ability that increased his Health drastically.

Thus, it would take Dilan quite a while to max out his Health stat. Fortunately, Dilan wouldn't stress himself about that because there were many other things he had to pay attention to in the near future.

"Nightmare Demon, I summon you! Come back to me. Let's have some fun!" Dilan shouted at this moment, ignoring his body's strained state as he used 200 Mana to activate the Blood Eclipse Necklace once again.

It hadn't been too long since he had summoned the Demon Spider, and he activated the Demon Summoning item ability once again.

Dilan wanted all the monsters around him dead to absorb their Essence, or to use it for other means but he didn't feel like fighting right now. His mind was not able to focus on reaping lives anymore, not after defeating the Behemoth and fighting his father.

The mental toll his body took while fighting his father was far more strenuous than Dilan wanted to acknowledge. Thus, summoning the Nightmare Demon was actually the best choice.

"You summoned me?" The Nightmare Demon asked in a hoarse voice when he emerged from the black Gate that had manifested right next to Dilan.

The Nightmare Demon didn't expect to step into empty air, which caused him to freeze for a second, just to realize that there was no gravitational force dragging him down to the ground.

"I removed the gravitational force weighing on you for a moment. I want you to eliminate all monsters in the vicinity, and bring me every single Essence crystal at and above the second Tier. As for the other Essence crystals, you can absorb them or do whatever you want," Dilan ordered without even glancing at the Nightmare Demon.

Staring at Dilan, the Nightmare Demon felt that his black hide was rippling and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

"You…changed, didn't you?" The Nightmare Demon couldn't help but ask, but Dilan just shrugged his shoulders.

"What is it to you? Just follow my orders, or I will cripple you," Dilan spoke quietly, but his warning rang through the Nightmare Demon's ears.

'He is different…even scarier than the Demon Lords I've had to deal with…' The Nightmare Demon thought and he sighed inwardly.

"Leave it up to me!"
