Chapter 449 Removed Restrictions?
He rather allowed the others to kill the powerful monsters and use them as a stepping stone to becoming as strong as possible in the shortest amount of time.
His Slaves were ordered to move around with his people to make sure that they would protect them and become stronger at the same time.
\'The Slaves are pretty powerful, and they can learn the human language while acting as my people\'s Guards as well,\' Dilan thought after he had given all the necessary orders.
It was not long after that he left the Sanctum with the intention to reach Level 50 and increase his stats to the limited capacity of a Tier-2 existence.
His situation was different from others but that didn\'t immediately mean that his situation was a lot more different.
Just like others, he wanted to increase his Level, advance in the ranks, and become a stronger Ascender. It was just different for him because his stats were already higher than what the existences at a higher Tier could attain.
His Health, for example, would inevitably reach an extremely high stat upon advancing.
As long as [Undying] improved in the ranks, it would inevitably increase his Health drastically.
Dilan was quite curious to find out how Undying would progress upon advancing in the ranks.
It was weird that his Origin ability was graded differently than his other abilities, to begin with, so Dilan had to figure out what exactly was going on with this Origin ability, and what exactly the difference was between the ranking labels \'Tier\' and \'Circle\'.
But before focusing on that aspect, he decided to kill a bunch of powerful Tier-2 Monsters.
Maintaining the use of [Thunder Step], Dilan\'s Agility was high enough for him to run around all over the Shikan plains, which was the place he had turned into his tiny little hunting ground.
The Shikan plains were one of the biggest territories all over the continent.
There were not many cities all over the huge expanse of land and one could consider it as a region that was blessed abundantly by nature.
That was also why there hadn\'t been much more problems with Zombies.
Dilan couldn\'t even remember when he had seen the last zombie. All of them had been killed by the devastatingly high numbers of monsters and mutated animals.
All the animals had become ferocious after the Primordial Ascension had occurred and it was quite hard for them to control their wild instincts.
However, Dilan wasn\'t going to be intimidated by their roars and snarling. His focus was on killing and collecting Essence Crystals while maintaining his Agility which was close to 500 Units.
There were humongous hordes of monsters that were trying to run away from him, attempting to escape the terror of the bipedal being that was but a flash when Dilan appeared in front of them.
His speed was 500 times the average speed of a human before the Primordial Ascension while most monsters around him were merely 90-150 times faster than the average human. As such, they were as slow as a sloth compared to his speed.
There were also a bunch of monsters with passive stat boosting abilities and active abilities similar to [Thunder Step] to increase their movement speed and reaction speed as much as possible.
Unfortunately, that was not enough for them to face Dilan head-on.
But even if that was the case, Dilan noticed something after killing several thousand monsters.
\'Is it just me or does the strength of monsters vary more than usual? I feel like some monsters are a lot faster than others, while others are a lot stronger…and the faster ones are always beings with a flexible and agile physical build…\' Dilan thought, understanding that it was usually obvious for Cheetahs to be faster than Elephants, while Elephants were supposed to possess higher health and strength.
However, even if that was something obvious, the reality was different after the Primordial Ascension.
After the Primordial Ascension, it felt like the special traits of animals was not important anymore.
It was almost as if the system the Primordial Ascension brought prevented animals to have higher agility than others who had a lower Agility stat.
"Does that mean animals and monsters had been restricted before? Is the restriction lessening, or is there something else going on?" Dilan wondered, trying to figure out how difficult it would become to fight certain monsters.
He didn\'t feel much while fighting against the Dragonbloods but that was probably because he didn\'t sense that anything was wrong with them.
"Now that I think about it… wasn\'t it weird that I could defeat Wyverns and the Earth Dragon so easily?" Dilan realized something as he added, "If I am not wrong, they are mythical existences with tremendous power, not bunnies that are easy to kill just because one had a little bit higher stats…I\'m still human after all…"
The more time passed, the clearer Dilan\'s understanding became. He was certain that the given situation was something he could handle easily, especially while using [Power Appraisal].
The ability of his headring helped him a lot and it allowed him to experiment around with a large group of Monsters to see whether his theory was correct or not.
Testing around for a few hours was already more than enough to tell that his theory had been correct and that all beings were restricted to a certain extent and that the true power of their race would only be unveiled after Milarn\'s awakening would progress.
Dilan was not sure about the reason for this, but he could tell very clearly that the situation all over Milarn would quickly change again.
Humans were not exactly powerful, after all, and the wide variety of opponents one would make while on their quest for power could become quite troublesome.
However, Dilan didn\'t want to waste his time worrying too much. He was sure that everything would be fine and that there was no reason to be troubled about anything.
His stats increased rapidly and he was slowly reaching the Peak of a Tier-2 existence whether it was in terms of Level or Stats, and that was something he was proud of.
After all, only a week had passed since he had intervened and successfully obstructed the construction of the Dragon Temple and his third stat had reached the status capacity of a Tier-2 existence!
[The Host\'s Mana stat reached the maximum capacity of a Tier-2 Existence. Congratulations!]
Dilan was quite proud about his achievement but there were several other things he had to achieve. His Health and Strength had yet to reach their maximum capacity and he was still missing lots of Levels to reach the level cap of a Tier-2 existence.
However, there were other things that attracted Dilan\'s interest, or to be precise, things that annoyed him quite a bit.
"The Vampire Lord returned…again? Has he nothing else to do?" Dilan wondered when he heard the news from the Magic Communication Device they had gotten their hands on from exchanging Essence Crystals at the Gates.
The Magic Communication Device was an upgraded version of what they possessed before and it didn\'t require much Mana to be used either.
"He wants to talk to you…yeah…"
