Chapter 256 Brute Force

Nobody except the soldiers, who Dilan had joined temporarily had noticed him before.

However, the sudden appearance of someone, whose Agility easily exceeded 100 Units was not something anyone was able to ignore.

The presence Dilan radiated was impossible to ignore as well.

His eyes were overflowing with bloodlust and he was ready to fight, and kill all the monsters around him.

But even if he felt like fighting, Dilan held back.

His plan was not to steal the prey of the Blue Star camp. He merely wanted to make sure that the bloodthirsty Ascenders would be left alive.

‘I hope the soldiers were right.’ Dilan just thought, clearly recalling them saying that the bloodthirsty Ascenders he saw were merely pawns, and much weaker than their leaders.

The comment had excited Dilan, and it had changed his previous opinion of the situation.

‘Even if I don’t care much about the Blue Star camp, the bloodthirsty Ascenders can become dangerous to my people very quickly!’

His deduction was only obvious but that was not the biggest reason for him to feel like fighting the group of the bloodthirsty Ascenders.

Of course, it was important but Dilan’s heart was beating wildly at the thought of fighting powerful Ascenders. He was feeling excited and looking forward to the fight for the first time in the last few days.

Dilan wanted to treasure that feeling and to make sure that nothing untoward would happen.

Thus, he got his hand on the remaining bloodthirsty Survivors.

Using [Thunder Step] was more than enough to get his hands on everyone. Dilan knocked them out with a simple punch against their temples, just to drag them back to the Soldiers, and throw the survivors right in front of them.

“If you guys kill them, I will kill all of you as well. Take care of them until I am done questioning them. What you guys do with them afterward is not my problem.”

The moment Dilan finished saying what had to be said, he disappeared once again, leaving the stupefied soldiers alone.

“We..wanted to join the fight as well…does he want us to play babysitter now?!” One of the soldiers asked, feeling as if Dilan didn’t take them seriously.

“Well, you can fight if you want, but I will make sure that these sons of pigs will stay alive. I hold my life dear….” The female soldier suddenly stated. She was pretty sure that Dilan’s warning was nothing but the truth.

Based on her understanding of Dilan, he didn’t make empty promises, and he would do everything he said.

This was not something she wanted to take lightly. A few other soldiers agreed to what she said, while others could only shake their heads.

They wanted to help their people, and their leaders and also wanted the entire Blue Star camp to survive.

In their opinion, they would be traitors by staying behind and doing nothing. After all, their reason to become powerful Ascenders had been to protect everyone!

At least, that was their opinion.

In the end, there was more than one reason to become strong. Some wanted to protect their loved ones, while others only desired to survive. There were also more than enough people, who wanted to become stronger to follow other desires, such as becoming the king of a kingdom, creating an empire, and so on.

Everyone had their own wishes, and all of these wishes could be fulfilled as long as they kept ascending, and as long as they gave their utmost to become stronger!

Thus some left the unconscious bloodthirsty Ascenders, while others stayed behind. Meanwhile, in a matter of one minute, Dilan had brought back all the remaining bloodthirsty Ascenders that were still alive.

He had noticed that some Soldiers had left to join the battle against the tide of monsters but that was not something he truly cared about.

‘As long as the bloodthirsty Ascenders stay alive, you guys can do whatever the fuck you want!’ That was his opinion about their choices, nothing more or less.

After catching all the bloodthirsty Ascenders, Dilan chose to observe the Blue Star camp’s way of tackling and defeating the tide of monsters. The monsters weren’t even focused on the human Ascenders in the beginning.

Only when they launched a slaughter fest did their focus avert to them. Dilan realized this quickly but he didn’t join the battle.

The monster tide was not even that powerful in his opinion, and Mayor Clerens’ strength seemed to be more than capable of eliminating the entire monster tide on his own.

His body had enlarged to 2.3 meters, and his entire body looked like it was packed with muscles. It looked a bit odd at first, but when Dilan realized that his muscles were undergoing a transformation and moving as if they were alive, goosebumps sprang all over him.

The muscles had grown out of nowhere, and Mayor Clerens’ body had yet to move a majority of them to the correct location.

This realization was even weirder than anything else he had witnessed today. Dilan frowned in disgust at this sight, but he was unable to look away.

Mayor Clerens used his brute strength to tear apart all the monsters around him. His speed was not exceptional, but the moment he got hold of a monster, it was bound to die.

‘Strength of 100 Units or more?’ Dilan wondered, trying to gauge the current strength of the pugilist in front of him.

Mayor Clerens had used up quite a bit of mana by now but Dilan was actually not sure what the Mayor’s mana had been used for.

‘Is he using his mana to grow his muscles to become stronger? Or is that some sort of Origin ability that allows him to become stronger the more foes are around him?’ Dilan clearly remembered that Mayor Clerens continued to grow in size the closer the tide of monsters came.

Thus, Dilan reached his own conclusions which were completely useless because he wouldn’t be able to figure out the whole truth without enquiring further.

He understood this after a few moments when he saw how Mayor Clerens changed his way of fighting. He used his brute force to brutally punch his enemies.

His power-packed punches either hit their bones that broke into thousands of pieces, burst open their internal organs, or their entire body simply exploded as it was unable to cope with the impact of the Mayor’s assault.

Even Dilan had to agree that it was somewhat frightening.

The Minotaur Leader had already been terrifying, but it looked like Mayor Clerens had special passive abilities that increased the lethality of his blows, or that he could deal more damage by using specific tactics.

Nonetheless, Dilan was not exactly scared of the Mayor because it was easy to understand that the Pugilist’s disadvantage was that his flexibility and speed suffered the more his strength increased on account of his growing muscles.

There was no rhyme or reason behind the disgustingly growing muscles that continued to bulge. They were completely out of symmetry and made the mayor look hideous.

Not an ounce of beauty could be seen in the current appearance of the former Mayor, and even Dilan, who had seen lots of things in the short time that had passed since the Primordial Ascension, felt a little bit disgusted at the sight of Mayor Clerens.

And that meant quite a lot if even Dilan thought that!

However, appearance didn’t matter in the face of strength. Currently, Mayor Clerens was extremely powerful, and as long as an opponent was caught by him, it was bound to die and be torn into two.

This left a solid impression on Dilan, whose eyes began to gleam as well.

“Well, fuck it.” He merely mumbled, abandoning his thought of leaving the Blue Star camp on its own.

The Blazing Serpentine Blade appeared in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, it enlarged to its full form of 20 meters.

paɴᴅᴀ ɴ<0>ᴠᴇʟ Blazing flames engulfed the Blazing Serpentine Blade, attracting the attention of many Tier-1 Ascenders, who were fighting a bit further away.

Other Ascenders, who had just killed the monster that had been the closest to them, couldn’t help but look up at him as well.

But that was only obvious. After all, the terrifying sensation of death and the thirst of blood had emerged all of a sudden.

Upon looking over, an unknown human entered their sight, causing everyone to flinch.

‘Is that one of their leaders?! Or someone from another group of killers???’ They thought as a seed of fear rooted itself in their mind.

They were barely able to cope with the dangers of the tide of monsters. In fact, even that threat was already too much for many to handle.

What were they going to do, now that a new threat had appeared in the form of a single individual that was far more dangerous than the whole tide of monsters?!

Were they going to die, or would they survive?

“Y’all are way too tense. Have some fun, and swing your butt to whoop the monster’s asses!”
