Chapter 330 Slash

Dilan dashed straight toward the huge crowd of Vampires. They could clearly sense that Dilan was the one carrying the five Sanctum keys with him, which was why all of them began to charge at him.

The huge crowd of approximately 1800 enemies was hurtling towards his direction, slowly closing the gap they had kept between each other to make sure that nobody would assume that they were working together.

Vampire Clans were strict about making clear who they had joined hands with and which Clans weren’t in an Alliance with them. The four Vampire Clans in front of Dilan didn’t hate each other but they wouldn’t usually work together either.

It was merely good timing that the four Vampire Clans had arrived in front of the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord roughly at the same time and that their traveling speed was the same as well.

This was unexpected but none of the Vampire Clans wanted to lose out to the others, which was why they didn’t even think about slowing down.

Only the Likar family maintained a certain speed they were comfortable with to make sure that they would arrive roughly at the same time as the other Vampire Clans. The Likar family was not as arrogant as others and they could tell that their opponent was anything but weak as he had managed to procure all five Sanctum Keys at once.

However, it astonished the Likar family and the others a lot that they seemed to be facing human opponents. They could only smell a single Vampire amidst them, but that Vampire was weaker than the human, who shot toward them.

Electric currents shrouded Dilan’s feet, increasing his speed by 30% as he had activated [Thunder Step]. The Vampires looked at this in astonishment as they could hardly keep track of his movements.

With the Agility boost of 20 Units that came from the Boots of Yamil, Dilan’s Agility was close to 150 times higher than the average human before the Primordial Ascension.

He was much faster than the Vampires, who had slowed down a bit with the expectation that the other families would make the first move.

Everyone was eager to get their hands on the five Sanctum Keys but none of the Vampire Clans wanted to make the first move because it was almost certain that the other families would simply let them fight and even sacrifice them for selfish gains. They would attack the moment the first Vampires were to get tired out and their opponents would have grown tired as well.

Being a bit strategic was important to overcome all the hurdles of life, especially after the Primordial Ascension happened.

At least, it was better to act carefully with three other noble Vampire families around them rather than storming toward the human, who charged at them without hesitation.

Dilan didn’t care about acting strategically right now. His expression held a crazy smile and his sky blue eyes were overflowing with vigor. He flashed his white teeth and pulled Balzaki to the side. He twisted his upper body a bit to provide the necessary momentum when it was required before he inserted a total of 50 Units of Mana within the huge greatsword.

[Mana Slash]- Full Output!

The entire mana that Dilan had inserted in Balzaki was compressed at the tip of the lengthy two-meter-long blade. The pitch-black sword began to buzz and a white light manifested at the blade’s edge.

A loud humming resounded through the area around Dilan, while his muscles began to bulge. Every single muscle in his arms could be seen and his blue veins were thrumming with restless energy.

Dilan leaned forward as he used his entire strength to blast ahead, further accelerating his speed. He hadn’t used his full power before and it was now that he utilized it to cross a distance of several hundred meters in a second.

Even the Vampires with great eyesight and fast reflexes lost Dilan for a moment. They were baffled and could only react when they realized that Dilan appeared roughly a kilometer away from everyone.

His head bobbed in and out through the rows of opponents and his crazed expression was clear for everyone to see. However, nobody was able to pay any attention to this because the Vampires’ danger senses started to blare warning signs the moment the muscles in Dilan’s body began to move.

With a rapid slash that looked like a black and white blur had manifested in front of Dilan, Balzaki was swung in front of him.

A highly compressed Mana Slash, the length of several hundred meters and empowered with 50 Units of mana, was created right in front of Dilan.

Joy could be seen in Dilan’s eyes when the huge Mana Slash was released, shooting straight at the hundreds of opponents it was supposed to exterminate.

‘I want to continue!’ Dilan felt the desire to follow to annihilate every single opponent on his own.

However, he quickly held back when he realized what he was going to do.

‘Everyone has to grow…’ He reminded himself sternly and forced his legs to turn around and shoot back to his group.

The last thing he saw as a result of his attack was that the huge Mana Slash impacted on the first Vampires, who weren’t able to evade or block the attack whose velocity exceeded their Agility.

Their bodies were cut through, and blood, body parts, and intestines spurted through the surrounding, which was followed by the smell of blood and the pained screams of the Vampires that followed suit.

The corners of Dilan’s lip curled as he threw a last look back. Seconds later he had returned to his people, who crowded around him.

Everyone was astonished that Dilan was able to overwhelm more than a hundred Vampires with a single attack but they could also hear Dilan’s grumbling which caused them to feel stupefied.

“The longer I draw the Mana Slash, the less stable it is…and it loses too much power…what a shame…”

While some were stupefied about Dilan’s grumbling, others smiled helplessly.

“You killed at least 100 Vampires, probably twice or thrice that!” Oliver shrieked hysterically when Dilan returned, however, Dilan just shook his head.

“Killed? Not really. None of them is dead,” Dilan corrected him and pointed in the direction in which he had caused a massacre.

The separated and mangled bodies of the Vampires were moving. They squirmed and strands of their flesh, skin, and intestines were trying to find each other to sew their bodies back. The battlefield looked gruesome, especially because of the writhing bodies but it was easy to tell that the Vampires were not dead.

“What the hell…and you want us to kill them?” Oliver asked in dumbfounding, all his excitement dispersing like a deflating balloon.

“Of course, just behead them and you’ll be fine. I just wanted to have some fun, and you are by my side, to decimate them all, aren’t you?” Dilan chuckled lightly and he looked in the direction of the Vampires that weren’t far from them anymore.

His expression turned serious and he swung Balzaki to the front, creating a small air fissure.

“It’s time for you to taste the Souls of a few arrogant Vampires!” Dilan roared out, while the others tuned in.

The sound of hundreds of weapons being unsheathed, and more than a thousand Ascenders striding forward resounded through the surrounding area.

On this seemingly ordinary day, the Army of the Undying Warlord entered the battlefield for the first time, determined to overcome all hurdles that would be thrown in their way!
