Chapter 196 No Mercy
A bloody reddish hue shrouded the white crescent mana Slash Dilan released.
His mind was filled with nothing but hatred, wrath, and regret, which nourished the Berserk Mana his body had transmuted on its own.
As [Mana Slash] was used with Berserk Mana, the attack’s potency was doubled. Thus, the attack was twice as lethal and destructive as usual.
Fear filled the eyes of the Ligrav and Rasnian, who found themselves standing in Dilan’s attack range.
However, even before they could make a move, their body had been halved as their upper body immediately slumped to the ground while their lower body followed suit seconds later.
The Berserk Mana Slash used with 20 Berserk Mana units was equivalent to a Mana Slash used with 40 Units of Mana.
Its lethality and destructive force were enough to break the strongest defenses of Peak Tier-1 monsters, let alone a few hundred Low Tier-1 Ligrav and Rasnian, who were not even able to react fast enough to attempt to block the attack.
They didn’t wear any special equipment to protect themselves either, which drastically decreased their chances of survival.
Dying at the hands of Dilan was just a matter of time for all the beings inside the prison the walls of fire created.
The same prison Priestess Brashta had created to prevent Dilan from running away was what caused the death of several hundred loyal believers of the Sun temple. This was just one of the many forms of payback Dilan planned to deliver.
In a matter of seconds, the Berserk Mana Slash had cut through several hundred bodies, halving them as if it was nothing special.
The number of casualties increased to more than 800 in seconds, but Dilan was not yet done.-.
He brandished the Blazing Serpentine blade and re-activated [Mana Slash] once again.
However, this time instead of wasting his precious mana, Dilan used merely 2 Berserk Mana units to utilize [Mana Slash].
That was enough to cut through more than a dozen opponents as the rapidly shot-out crescent Mana Slash was not something they could perceive with their bare eyes.
Dilan’s Agility exceeded 200 Units, while their own mana was not even close to 30 Units. The gap between their strength was too wide to be solved by just looking at numbers.
Thus, hundreds of Ligrav and Rasnian died as Dilan repeatedly used [Mana Slash] with merely 2 Berserk Mana units.
Due to [Bracing Pain] Dilan’s Mana had increased drastically as well.
He had more than enough mana left to make use of his precious mana on killing the small fries around him.
But they were not enough to calm down Dilan’s endless rage.
Through his eyes, everything looked red. He was not able to differentiate between friend and foe anymore.
However, that was not necessary because every single being that was breathing around him was his opponent.
There was no ally by his side anymore. Mason had already been killed by the vile existences, who had forced him to fight them.
Despite blaming himself for Mason’s death, he knew that he was not the only one at fault. Priestess Brashta had prevented him from leaving when he wanted to.
It was not his fault for the bitch of a Priestess to act all high and mighty.
That was why Dilan didn’t want to atone to his sins alone. He wanted everyone to feel what death tasted like.
Death was the best way to atone to one’s sins, directly after endless pain.
Because Dilan was far from being able to control himself and holding back he couldn’t take his sweet time torturing Priestess Brashta. He didn’t have the necessary time either.
Thus, she had to die and become the sacrifice for Mason’s soul’s journey to the Gate of Nirvim.
Dilan slowly adjusted to his extraordinary state and his high stats. He moved smoothly through the rows of dead bodies, killed everyone in his vicinity, and ended their lives with a single slash.
The enlarged Blazing Serpentine Blade whizzed through the air, killing dozens of opponents with a single strike, and ended their lives in a more or less painless manner.
The flame engulfed Serpentine Blade sizzled when it spilled blood that came in contact with its searing hot surface that dripped from the organs, flesh, and bone fragments stuck in its numerous small blades.
‘A weapon of death…’
That was the only thought flashing through Priestess Brashta’s mind as she witnessed the death of her people right in front of her eyes.
Her earlier confidence in defeating Dilan crumbled to dust as she watched him move like a tornado that left nothing but death and destruction behind.
The tides had changed and the numbers of her believers were not even in the three digits anymore.
In less than 90 seconds, Dilan had killed more than 1000 of her followers including three Eternal Guards.
On the other hand, they had merely managed to kill the weakling who had followed Dilan. It was not even close to a fair trade.
Yet, even then, Dilan’s anger and his craving for blood didn’t seem to have soothed either.
Rather, the bloodlust radiating from his body had intensified. The pressure he released didn’t allow anyone to move freely.
If someone dared make a move, they were immediately detected by Dilan’s razor-sharp senses and chosen as his next target.
His perception of the surroundings was terrifying. Even the slightest movement couldn’t escape his grasp in his current state.
It was impossible for anyone to flee from his sight. He crossed more than 100 meters in a single dash and killed everyone in his way without a second thought.
Dilan was currently not even able to think, to begin with. His mind had temporarily lost the ability to think rationally.
He only knew that he wanted to wash his hands in the blood of his enemies, that he had to eradicate everyone around him, and that the death of his enemies was the only thing he could give Mason.
Dilan didn’t even feel pain anymore right now.
His body was already crumbling, the skin on his legs already had blisters and his muscles were slowly giving in.
However, Dilan couldn’t care less about the impending exhaustion. His only focus was to kill, to slaughter everyone, and end the life of the people who were responsible for the death of Mason.
Less than 10 seconds were left on the duration of [Second Acceleration] but that was more than enough to kill the last Eternal Guard, eradicate the remaining veteran hunters, and end the lives of all the Ligrav and Rasnian, who were cowering on the ground.
They were afraid to die, afraid of Dilan, the monster, who had barged into their home and was killing them as if he was slaughtering chickens stuck in a coop.
They could not fathom how the situation could have changed so much in just a few minutes.
Before, Dilan had been quite nice to them. The humans who were with him had brought them numerous sacrifices and it had looked like they could work together in the future.
Little did they know that the Priestess never planned to work together with Dilan.
From the beginning, her plan had been to kill Dilan and every single human in his group.
She had just waited for the perfect moment to attack them, for winter to end, and for Dilan and his people to lower their guard.
Unfortunately, her entire plan had been destroyed the moment she noticed what Dilan had planned when he used every single Sacred Point he and his group had accumulated during the last week.
The other clues she had gotten wind of were enough of an indicator to tell her that Dilan didn’t want to keep dealing with the Sun temple.
However, even if he wanted to end it on friendly terms while expecting an attack, it was not as if the Priestess was willing to end it on friendly, let alone on neutral terms.
In her opinion, they could only end up being each other’s, mortal enemies. After all, her plan had been to get her hands on the being, who had received the Divine Inheritance, not to make friends!!
Little did she know that her plan would not only fail miserably but that the entire Sun temple would cease to exist just because of the little human being, whom she had encountered at first.
‘Is he the one?’ Priestess Brashta asked herself as fear and desperation gleamed in her eyes while she looked at the monster of a human being, who had slaughtered every single person under her.
Not even the young or old had been spared, nobody had escaped Dilan’s wrath!!
Everyone had been slaughtered without mercy…
