Chapter 369 Do whatever you want

“You guys have to become stronger as well… How about you advance all your stats to 100 in the next…week?” Dilan asked with a smug smile on his face.

“…” the two women looked at each other and then at Dilan, disbelief plainly evident in their eyes.

How the hell were they supposed to improve their stats so quickly? The average of Victoria’s stats barely reached 80, and that was already an exceptional feat.

Meanwhile, Yvonne looked at Dilan as if he had had rotten zombies for breakfast. There was no other way that Dilan would ask them to enhance every single stat of theirs to 100 in a matter of seven days because her stats were capped at 75. She was still at Tier-1, after all!

“Ah, and you have to advance to Tier-2 Yvonne!” Dilan quickly added when he recalled that Yvonne was not even at Tier-1 yet.

Her stats were pretty high, which was thanks to her Origin ability advancing to Tier-1, and because she possessed a pretty great Legendary occupation.

However, advancing to Tier-2 was not exactly easy in her situation as higher-ranked occupations had more difficult missions to complete to advance.

“I will have to advance to Tier-2 as well, and my occupation is higher ranked than yours. So don’t give me that look, Yvonne!” Dilan revealed, which did little to faze her. Not just her but even Victoria was glaring at him, her earlier grief forgotten.

“Higher than a Legendary Occupation? That’s pretty hard to believe,” Yvonne said as if she was trying to suggest that Dilan was a liar.

But he knew that Yvonne believed her. She was fully aware that he was not lying and it was just Yvonne’s plan to figure out more about his occupation. After all, Dilan never spoke about his occupation, his family, or anything related to him, at all.

He knew a lot about others but Dilan was basically a stranger to them. They could only tell that Dilan was likely to come from a different continent because his facial features, his eye color, and a few other specific features of him, including his tiny, almost non-existent accent were a clear indicator of the same.

Unfortunately, the continent he hailed from and the fact that he had been mistreated by someone in the past were the only things that gave a bit of insight into his past. Even Kathrine, Yvonne, and the others, who were pretty close to Dilan had no idea about his background, let alone his past or family.

But that did not change the fact that Dilan was a good person and that he usually didn’t lie.

“Either way. Just try to advance to Tier-2, and reach the threshold of 100 stats everywhere. I will enter the Realm Gate in around a week, so be ready, or I will go alone,” Dilan teased, disregarding Yvonne’s challenge.

He didn’t like talking about himself, which was why he never divulged details of his past life.

It was simply not necessary and it was better for everyone if they had no idea who he was. His life would just get worse otherwise.

After Dilan told the two women what he wanted from them, he turned around.

All Guardians of the Sanctum looked at him cautiously as if he was a dangerous serpent that would strike abruptly. They were ready to sacrifice their lives to protect the preserved corpse of the Vampire Lord and Victoria. This was something Dilan liked, which was why he turned one last time to speak to Victoria.

“Take care of them. If they’re dangerous, I want you to kill them. Otherwise, you have full freedom to do whatever you want,” Dilan said, while secretly hoping that Victoria would turn the Hybrids into her subordinates.

Afterward, Dilan walked out of the Inner Sanctum.

He appeared in front of Sven and the other Ascenders to tell them the requirements to enter the Realm Gate. The Realm Gate’s requirements were not even the conditions to enter the Instance Dungeon of the Blood Monarch’s Sanctum but that didn’t really matter right now.

None of the Ascenders was close to reaching 100 Units with all five stats. Thus, they had to figure out what to do now.

It was either stay in the sanctum and build a second base here or return to Shiron.

“I would stay here and build a second base here. Precisely, I would turn Shiron into a branch of the main headquarters, which I would love to create here. If we start expanding from the center of the Shikan plains, it may be possible for us to expand our range and to take control of everything slowly.

If we have the Shikan plains under control, we can think ahead…but wouldn’t that be a great idea?” Sven asked, speaking as if he had already thought of this plan for several weeks.

Dilan nodded his head, without commenting on Sven’s idea. It was quite obvious that the Sanctum was a great place, especially since even Tier-2 monsters were not able to destroy the marble walls.

One had to be much stronger than Dilan to destroy them. Thus, Dilan would be reassured if Sven were to develop the Sanctum and turn it into a highly protected base, where all of them could feel safe.

“You can return to Shiron with the sabertooth tiger, and tell everyone, who is willing, to pack up and return to the Sanctum. Shiron may be safe but the Sanctum’s natural means of protection are much better.

“The sabertooth tiger?… He will just eat me alive the moment you are out of his sight…” Sven mumbled, not believing that it was a good idea to order around the sabertooth tiger like he was the wild beast’s master.

“Believe me. I will make him obey. If he wants to become stronger and enter the Realm Gate later as well, he will have to listen to everything you say!” Dilan sounded pretty confident about his idea.

Thus, Sven could only nod his head and grudgingly obey him as well.

It was weird to imagine that a wild monster would obey Dilan’s commands as if it was a domesticated pet but the fight against the Vampires clearly showed that when given the choice between tearing Vampires and humans apart, the sabertooth tiger chose the former.

There was a reason behind it, and that was not only because of the fact that Dilan was extremely powerful.

“Ah…and give Old Jeff this, please. He should embed the Pyromancy orb onto the new Serpentine Blade…if he created an upgraded version….which he has hopefully done by now…” Dilan said as he retrieved the Blazing Serpentine Blade from his storage ring.

His storage ring was filled to the brim with Blood Essences and various other things but he couldn’t throw anything outside, not yet, at least.

Dilan discussed the future plans a bit more with Sven and the others. He gave them full freedom to do whatever they wanted as long as it wouldn’t cause any trouble.

Right now, trouble was the last thing they needed, especially with some annoying Werewolf packs by their side.

That was also why Dilan left the Sanctum in an imposing manner, using [Switch], and [Thunder Step] when he shot outside the sanctum.

What others could see were only blurred afterimages and a purple flash trailing away from the huge Gate of the Sanctum.

Far away, a single Vampire was observing the valley of the Sanctum in curiosity. He saw a purple flash emerging on the other side of the valley with shocking speed and a smile appeared on his face.

“He is even faster than I am,” The new Vampire Lord spoke out loud, nodding his head in anticipation to meet this anomaly soon.
