Chapter 429 We Know Nothing

"The Scorpio Temple said that the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction have also been detected on the other continents? That is not exactly surprising," Dilan said after he heard a few things Yvonne and the others shared with him.

Apparently, the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction left the Javelin Cliffs to spread out a little bit. However, they didn't start wreaking havoc all around the continents but rather inside the Gates. According to the news the Scorpio Temple had shared, the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction slaughtered all beings inside Gates before they continued to expand their range.

The Gates changed color and monsters with chaos traits were said to emerge from them every now and then, indicating that the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction were capable of altering the Gates.

"There are a few more things you should know but I think the news of the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction are the most important!" Yvonne said calmly and Dilan nodded his head.

"As long as the Werewolf packs and the Vampire Lord are not stirring trouble, I don't really care what they do," Dilan nodded his head, agreeing to Yvonne's opinion.

He was still a bit weaker but his mana replenished even faster on the surface than underground. Thus, he could easily use [Undying] in an overclocked state by using multiple times more mana than what was supposed to be possible.

"I will be ready to leave in three days. If you guys want to leave, I don't think that I will need to be protected here," He added after giving it some thought.

He doubted that a monster would even think of approaching the meteor shower field for quite a while. However, his words made Victoria and Kathrine sad and they almost pouted in unison.

"Eh..." Dilan fumbled for a moment before he thought of something, "I forgot to thank you all for looking for me. It's nice to know that someone would search for me when I go missing!"

Others might not think that Dilan's words were genuine but he was actually grateful for what the women did there. Their help might not have helped him because they couldn't find him but it was a nice thought to have someone, who would come looking for you even if you're the strongest.

Dilan smiled slightly at the women, whose expressions changed slowly as well. The tension in their body was released and they started to grin involuntarily. Even the skinny and rather gloomy middle-aged woman was unable to hide her little smile.

'I wonder if I should attack the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction after I find and kill those who eradicated Shiron?' He wondered all of a sudden, no sign of sentimentality left on his face.

He was not sure if the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction were only bad because he recalled a few words spoken by Aries Silvertale.

The woman was very helpful because she had shared lots of information with him and that was more than enough reason for Dilan to message her once again.

Their personal chat was very useful, especially because he could bombard her with questions without them getting lost in the messages that were sent by others in the group chat.

Dilan wrote a few short messages in their chat before he moved the holographic screen aside to start activating what he had planned to do while waiting for his body to heal.

He activated [Switch] to reallocate 150 Units of his Agility to Health whenever the ability's cooldown had worn off, while simultaneously activating [Thunder Step], [Second Acceleration], and [Mantle of Elements].

Dilan didn't focus on upgrading [Language comprehension] for now because he would rather focus on [Mantle of Elements]. Using the three Basic Spirits actively would allow his ability to get stronger much faster than just passively summoning and de-summoning them.

"What are you doing?" Victoria asked all of a sudden when she looked at Dilan, whose Health seemed to have increased tremendously while electricity currents shrouded his naked feet.

Simultaneously, his gloves were shrouded in fire and electricity currents. Dilan created more than ten small fire wisps that revolved around his left hand while the same scenario occurred around his right hand, just with 15 tiny thunderbolts.

"You mean me? I'm just activating my abilities to make sure that they can be upgraded in the next three days. If I'm already incapable of fighting for the next few days, I might as well use the time on improving my abilities," Dilan shrugged his shoulders as he glanced at Victoria who frowned a bit.

She looked a little bit disappointed as if she had expected to be able to do something else for the next few days, such as talking with Dilan. Victoria wouldn't even mind if Dilan didn't like speaking about his past because she could speak about her own life. All she wanted to do was to talk a little bit with Dilan and spend some time with him.

It was so hard to get close to him because whenever there was the slightest opportunity to get close to him, he would do something just like that, train like a maniac, go out on a killing spree, or do something else to avoid conversing with others.

Yvonne and Kathrine felt similar to Victoria. They didn't really know anything about Dilan, which was a bit weird after having known him for more than three months.

It was obvious that Dilan was just their leader and that everyone had a lot on their plate to make sure that everyone would live the rest of their life in a relatively comfortable way in the Undying Group while simultaneously feel a strong enough sense of responsibility to feel like becoming stronger to protect the people in the Undying Group.

Nobody would dare to say that it was easy to lead a group in apocalyptic times, especially if the apocalypse was something like the Primordial Ascension.

However, it was still quite obvious that it was important to get to know your allies to be able to trust them with your life.

"Dilan, we trust you...but won't it be possible for you to talk with us for a little? Nobody knows really anything about you while it feels like you know everything about us. We don't want to force you to talk about your family or past but it would still be great if we could get to know more about each other.

That won't only be helpful to strengthen our bonds of trust with each other more but also to know how the other person will react in certain situations," Yvonne tried to reason with Dilan, whose head flicked over to her.

He looked at her in seriousness and nodded his head after a while.

"I guess you're correct. Nonetheless, I can still activate my abilities while speaking. You guys should do the same to train your multitasking capabilities and to improve your abilities' rankings!" Dilan suggested lightly before he cleared his throat.

He took a few seconds to ask himself what he should tell the others first.

There was a lot to say but Dilan chose to break the walls between them.

"Do you guys want to know who caused all these scars?" He thus asked in a serious voice while removing a part of the blanket from his naked body.

Only then was he able to see that the scars that were faint lines were still there, but that they had healed a little bit as well. There were just numerous white stripes left on his tanned skin.

"The girls looked at his torso and the scars for a while and they all swallowed nervously before Yvonne recovered from her shock and was the first to nod her head.

"Yes, we want to know!"
