Undying Warlord

The Red Dragon needed some time to accept the fact that she had surrendered to a mere human.

This was hard for her to digest, especially that Dilan had created a Soul Imprint on the Red Dragon and that the human had merely been at the second Tier, yet, strong enough to fight a Tier-4 Mythical creature.

Dilan, on the other hand, was having an easy time. He was healing from his injuries while sitting calmly on the Dragon's head.

"Fly to the center of the Shikan plains first. When you see the Scorpio temple, you have to turn right. Once you find a valley where a bunch of humans and Vampires are located, land on the ground," Dilan ordered before he lay down on his back.

He was trying to heal his body as quickly as possible but Dilan could clearly tell that he wouldn't be able to tend to his wounds before they would arrive.

The Red Dragon could fly through the air and her stats were extremely high. The Cursed Mantra's effect had worn off and she was only a little bit affected by the aftermath.

Dilan didn't really worry about that and he trusted the power of his Soul Space ability enough to relax and take a deep breath.

Even when the Red Dragon soared into the air as per his commands, Dilan didn't open his eyes or look down. He was unbothered by the height and the only thing he did to make sure that he would heal faster was to use [Switch] to reallocate his Stamina, Agility and Strength stat to increase his Health as much as possible.

Dilan's injuries were bad and every normal Ascender would have died by now, but there was no need for him to fix his whole body. That had been an issue when the meteorite had crushed him to near death.

Right now, his condition was much better, which was also why he was quite unbothered as he arrived at the Sanctum.

When the Red Dragon landed on the ground with a loud thump, all Ascenders scampered away to save their lives. Some of them could clearly recall the Red Dragon and the terror they had felt when they had fled from Rian, while others had never seen a Dragon before.

Their eyes were blankly directed at the Red Dragon, whose humongous size and presence were more than enough to make everyone shudder.

"We're going to die…" One of the Ascenders blurted out the thought he harbored deep down in his heart, and his legs began to tremble not long after.

Many were of a similar opinion but nobody dared to reveal their doubts because the higher authority of the Undying Group had appeared. They stood in front of everyone and looked upward, staring straight into the red eyes of the Mythical creature.

"Dilan…are you there?" Sven asked carefully, hoping that he hadn't misunderstood the situation.

"Of course, I'm here," Dilan answered before he yawned and stretched his body. He got up from the head of the Red Dragon, and looked down to the ground, but didn't jump.

"Are you guys ready to conquer the continent?" Dilan asked in a quiet voice and the eerie silence that swept through the entire valley was enough to make sure that he could be heard clearly.

At first, no Ascender answered him first because they could clearly see Dilan's disfigured appearance and numerous spots where his white bones protruded through his charred flesh.

Dilan looked more like a monster than most monsters right now but nobody dared to say anything against him.

The women's eyes widened in terror while the men stared at him in awe wondering how Dilan could be so unbothered about the unbearable pain he must be feeling right now.

They started to revere him more than before and roared out loud.

"Let's conquer Camsun!!"

Dilan smiled when he heard the raging chants that reverberated through the whole valley and satisfaction swept all over him.

"Alright then, I will induce terror and fear within everyone, while you guys have a little bit of fun as well…but not too much, my old rules will never cease to exist!" Dilan declared and everyone could clearly tell what he meant by that.

One of his most important rules was to never even attempt to violate someone. He had a zero-tolerance policy for traitors, rapists, and all kinds of other pieces of shit.

Dilan knew that he was not a saint or a good person either but those rules applied to himself as well.

He had a clear goal in mind and he would do whatever was needed to achieve it. Now with the Red Dragon by his side, this would become even easier. He patted the Dragon's head and she ascended into the air.

"Never be afraid to lose if you know that you'll be able to stand up again. Stay strong and make the best out of yourselves!" Dilan said in an imposing manner that struck a chord with his followers.

The Red Dragon rolled her eyes but she followed the mental commands she had received. As she spit out her Dragon flames in the air, the surrounding temperature increased drastically and everyone looked fearfully in the direction of the Dragon as she set off.

Dilan kept riding on her head, not bothering to hold tightly onto anything. He focused on healing his body while the Red Dragon did everything to make sure that the Shikan plains would become Dilan's playground.

"Maybe it won't be that hard to conquer the continent…to think that he actually succeeded in submitting the Red Dragon…just how strong did he become?!" Williams wondered out loud in jealousy, while the others could only exchange glances.

"I am just happy that he is on our side and that Dilan is not a bad person. He won't harm us, and I doubt that he will do anything to the people who are willing to follow him or submit to him…" Kathrine shared her honest opinion while Yvonne let out a sigh.

"That might be correct, but he will kill all those who don't accept him as their leader…that's his way to Unite Camsun…" Yvonne revealed, finding the answer to the doubt that had erupted within her.

"You think that he won't follow the plan we came up with earlier?" Sven asked her, feeling puzzled.

He knew that Yvonne could clearly feel the death aura that revolved around someone because her Origin ability was that great. Her [Angel of Death] ability allowed her to do many things others were incapable of. Thus, she could even tell when death would strike someone.

"Oh, that's not what I meant. He is still following the earlier plan, just that now he will help us out by killing those who will never succumb to the Undying Group. He will get rid of the black sheep to unite Camsun as quickly as possible," Yvonne explained before she continued to add,

"Looks like he has become impatient after taming the Red Dragon!"

Looking at the fleeting picture of the powerful Dragon, everyone felt complex emotions flashing through their entire being. Many of them sighed deeply but everyone was able to tell that the situation was more to their favor than anything else.

It wouldn't actually be a problem if Dilan killed whoever he wanted to. It was not even something new if they were to be honest with themselves.

He always did whatever he wanted.
