Chapter 165 Blazing Serpentine Blade



After Dilan brought back the first group of survivors, many things changed.

Six days had passed since then and Dilan’s group had now increased to a total of 2800 survivors!

Dilan was unable to stop after he rescued the first group of survivors. He spent quite some time searching for more human shelters.

But before that, he took a good look at the other places, where Dilan had presumed human survivors to be located to be certain that he did not accidentally leave behind any survivors.

There had been signs of humans searching for a shelter but most of them had moved, or been killed.

In the end, Dilan could only find a few more groups, which he brought back to the hospital.

Other groups of survivors and Ascenders joined Dilan when they noticed what Dilan had been doing in the past few days.

It was nearly impossible not to hear and see the ruckus Dilan created by killing numerous monsters.

He moved like a cheetah among his opponents, ended their lives with a single strike, and kept advancing.

Even the most powerful Silver Tier-1 monsters were unable to face Dilan the moment he unleashed his entire strength.

There were certain scenarios in which Dilan was forced to use the combo of his [Thunder Step] ability with both [Bearer of Pain] and [Bracing Pain].

But the weakened state Dilan entered was not noteworthy because [Berserk Mana] was not activated.

With his power, it was not a problem to face all kinds of opponents, even something as dangerous as an unscathed Blue Tiger.

Unfortunately, Dilan didn’t come across the Blue Tiger, let alone other monsters with a combat prowess comparable to Tier-2 existences.-.

Dilan believed that they had already moved to the Shikan plains because the city was void of noteworthy prey.

Only humans were worth hunting but that was probably something most powerful monsters from the mountain had yet to realize.

They were not around when most humans had still been alive. Now that the number of human survivors had dwindled to a ridiculous low number, learning about the value of a human’s Essence crystal was not something the mountain’s monsters had learned in recent days.

That was also why Rian looked more like an abandoned city than anything else.

Only a few powerful monsters were left behind with most of them living near the city’s center.

Dilan avoided Rian’s center simply because he didn’t want to hunt Tier-2 monsters yet, and a monster at Tier-2 or a monster on par with such an existence was certainly lurking in the center of the city.

He had more than enough tasks to do, including looking after the survivors, who joined his group.

From a total of 2800 survivors, 1000 had been willing to join the combat forces. Given the huge number, it was impossible for Ailee to train them by herself.

She was the most proficient in archery but had no idea about proper spear-wielding, how to fight with longswords, let alone battle-axes.

That was why Oliver chose to help Ailee in teaching the Ascenders. Oliver alone was not enough but it was better than nothing.

After Dilan chose to help out as well, everything became much easier. Dilan could teach the Ascenders about every type of weapon owing to his versatile passive ability [True Weapon specialist].

But Dilan had only begun to help out because it was the most important to strengthen the Ascenders. They had to turn into merciless monster slayers, which was something Dilan achieved quite well thanks to his ruthless training method.

He faced the young Ascenders all by himself and restricted his strength before starting a merciless fight.

Dilan had learned a lot as well in the prior six days. He could finally control his strength in a seemingly perfect manner but that was only natural after fighting against thousands of monsters and participating in hundreds of spars.

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, a total of 150 Ascenders advanced to Tier-1, with a total of 100 Ascenders having advanced by choosing a Rare occupation!

Dilan told his people to focus on advancing with stronger occupations.

At first, some Ascenders were skeptical about Dilan’s decision but their worries disappeared quickly.

He, Williams, and Kathrine showed off their strength by revealing a few abilities which they had gained from their occupation. This was everything needed to convince his people to follow his instructions.

That was also why there were still over 800 Tierless Ascenders in his rows. All of them were giving their utmost to meet the requirements for Rare occupations to finally advance and become stronger.

Even if it looked like the situation in Rian went smoothly, the truth was that everyone felt restless.

It was quiet in the surrounding area…too quiet. Since the Primordial Ascension had begun, there was no day when the survivors had not felt death breathing down their necks.

That was also why the eerie silence was comparable to the foreboding of terrifying events.

Even Dilan couldn’t help but feel extremely bothered. His stats didn’t change in the slightest despite hunting numerous monsters.

However, that was not exactly weird as Dilan had saved up all the valuable Essence crystals he collected.

On the other hand, he exchanged the less valuable Tier-1 Essence crystals with infected Essence crystals. To train the Ascenders he, Oliver, and Ailee had picked, they had been sent to the other towers of the Rian mountainside hospitals.

By now, all towers had been cleared, with only a few zombies having been left behind. The remaining zombies had been isolated and locked in rooms to act as a training dummy for new survivors to procure their first ability crystal!

Dilan didn’t help the others in hunting because he wanted the Ascenders, including Oliver and Ailee to act independently.

Thus, he merely provided some benefits by exchanging his Essence crystals with the ‘useless’ tierless Essence crystals of all kinds of zombies.

Dilan absorbed more than 3000 Tierless Essence crystals of zombies, including more than 200 Bronze Tierless Essence crystals.

This had been more than enough to upgrade his passive [Immunity] ability twice!

[Immunity] was now a Tier-0 ★★★ without the two-star bonus from Dilan’s Divine occupation.

Coupled with the enhancement Kirak’s Vassal provided, his Immunity ability was simply too powerful!

[[Immunity (Passive)] Tier-0★★★✭✭

Gains immunity against poisons and infections below Tier-1 Level 15! Immunity includes scratches of zombies, restricted to 100 scratches/bites a day (100/100)]

But his upgraded ability was not the most interesting thing that happened during the last six days.

Dilan possessed more than enough high-quality Essence crystals to do everything he wanted to. But this achievement was nothing in comparison to Old Jeff’s creation of the modified Serpentine Blade, and Yvonne’s advancement to Tier-1!

Old Jeff had been forging for the last six days. He had created several Tierless weapons for new Ascenders. Simultaneously, he had been trying to get back to his peak condition before he began to forge the Serpentine Blade.

The first few attempts were a failure and only after three days had passed was Old Jeff able to create the first Serpentine Blade.

However, he had not been satisfied with the result, which was why he continued to forge the ordinary Serpentine Blades.

Only on the 5th day did Old Jeff dare to start forging the Serpentine Blade with the Silver Tier-1 Essence crystals and the Orb of Pyromancy.

It took him lots of time and a mountain of materials, but the final product exceeded Old Jeff’s expectations.

The Blazing Serpentine Blade, Old Jeff had created, was a masterpiece in his eyes. It was the best work Old Jeff had created in his entire career as a blacksmith.

However, instead of overflowing with confidence, Old Jeff had been contemplating something when handing over the Blazing Serpentine Blade to Dilan.

“Treasure the weapon as long as you can use it…I will become better and forge you a new weapon whenever you need one!”

Old Jeff understood that the Blazing Serpentine Blade was not a weapon he could use to kill powerful Tier-2 existences.

He was not even sure if the materials used were strong enough to pierce through the hide of the weakest Tier-2 monster.

That was why Old Jeff couldn’t help but contemplate.

The weapon he deemed as his masterpiece and his best work was merely enough to allow Dilan to wield it until he would ascend to Tier-2!

It was only a matter of time before it would have to be replaced once again…

However, Dilan absolutely adored and treasured the Blazing Serpentine Blade. It’s fierce appearance, the silverish-red coat of the longsword, and the ability to control the metal threads connecting the scale-like blades was simply overpowering.

Calling the Blazing Serpentine Blade OP would be an understatement for its capabilities.

Of course, one could only call it overpowered as long as one was able to wield the Blazing Serpentine Blade properly.

Controlling the serpent-like blade by releasing the blades that looked like he was wielding a blazing red snake was far from easy.

But as long as one’s mana control was accurate it would be possible to achieve this.

Yet, adding the pressure of controlling the Blazing Serpentine Blade during a life-and-death fight, followed by the difficulty of maintaining the flames summoned by the Orb of Pyromancy made things even more difficult.

The flames manifested by the Orb of Pyromancy engulfed the entire Blazing Serpentine Blade, except the hilt.

The weapon Dilan would wield, was far from being a plaything everyone was capable of using.

Even Dilan knew that he would have to be careful, otherwise, he might accidentally cut himself in half, let alone the people around him.

Thus, he had been very serious when Old Jeff had given him the Blazing Serpentine Blade.

But even after he comprehended how terrifying the Blazing Serpentine Blade was as it could probably tear through the defenses of every single existence at Tier-1, the occupation Yvonne chose to advance was even more shocking!
