Chapter 250 Slaughterer’s Influence
While Dilan, Oliver, and Ailee were fighting a large group consisting of 300 monsters, the others were not slacking off either.
Yvonne and Kathrine chose to focus on two particular missions. Instead of playing nanny in the base, they had gone out to focus on collecting the Essence crystals of monsters and procuring equipment
The easiest way to do so was, in fact, the Pagoda of Time. Not many dared to enter the instance dungeon, but for the sisters conquering 11 floors in a short period was no problem.
Their focus was on collecting Essence crystals and not procuring many other treasures. After all, the highest quality and grade of a treasure they could obtain up to the 11th floor was merely Bronze Tier-1.
Dilan’s group had more than enough Bronze Tier-1 treasures, and if it was possible, they would try to sell them somewhere, in exchange for Dungeon points as well.
The Taurus shop, which was what everyone called it, was quite useful. If there was an easier way to procure dungeon points than conquering the Pagoda of Time’s floors, everyone would try to do so.
The shop was even more useful than the Basic Sacred Shop, and that meant quite a lot.
Dilan had 15,500 points but he didn’t want to use them yet. There was no specific ability or item that attracted his interest enough to make him spend all these points which he had obtained from the doubling effect and the fact that he broke the majority of speed records.
In the end, Dilan waited to potentially accumulate more dungeon points once he got a whole team of people, who wanted to enter the Pagoda of Time, together.
Meanwhile, Kathrine and Yvonne conquered the Pagoda of Time up to the 11th floor before leaving it just to enter the instance dungeon once again.
The number of Essence crystals they had collected was massive and nothing to scoff at.
“We will definitely get our hands on more than enough Essence crystals to create a bunch of Potions of Enhancement !!” Kathrine said in between two deep breaths.
She was giving her best to fight with all her might without wasting too much of her precious mana. After all, she might need it the moment something unexpected happened.
Meanwhile, Yvonne was rather relaxed while flying through the air, and killing monsters before using them against one another. She had two powerful Silver Tier-1 Minotaur corpses by her side.
Her focus was on replenishing her mana while controlling the Minotaurs using the same mana she replenished.
Yvonne’s control over mana was quite precise, and if one were to compare Yvonne and Dilan’s control with one another, one might not even be able to determine who was better among the two!
Dilan used mana during every single fight, whether it was for his abilities, or to circulate it through his body due to the soothing and invigorating feeling mana provided to his body.
Furthermore, by using the Blazing Serpentine Blade, Dilan was forced to focus on his mana control, which was why he had improved quite a lot. It was all thanks to the Blazing Serpentine Blade, one of the most terrifying weapons he owned.
Everyone, who had already tried to use the Serpentine Blade on their own, knew that it was extremely difficult to control the weapon properly due to its extreme fluidity and razor-sharp blades.
It was quite easy to cut oneself, and one’s colleagues with it accidentally. If one were to add the difficulty of continuously supplying the Blazing Serpentine Blade with mana so that it could keep burning, and maintain a perfect supply of mana. It had to be not too much to make the blade erupt into a huge blazing flame, neither too little for a gust of wind to extinguish the flames.
Dilan never really revealed how proficient he was in controlling mana. However, it was quite obvious to everyone that his control was great and that it was one of the reasons for him to be so strong.
And this was something one could clearly see right now as he was using his terrifying Agility, and the Blazing Serpentine Blade to turn the large group of powerful monsters into lifeless bodies, whose blood, body parts, guts, other organs, and brain mass littered the ground.
The battlefield was more like the memorial of a massacre that Dilan had caused.
There were even body parts and intestines that hung down the long formerly brown branches of the trees in the vicinity as blood dropped on the ground.
Oliver nearly vomited at this sickening sight, while Ailee’s nose twitched twice in total before she seemed to have regained full control over her body.
She held her Silver Tier-1 bow tightly, nocked an arrow on the bowstring, pulled it back, and fired after stopping to aim for a mere second.
Her hands moved in a blur as [Rapid Shooting] was activated, and her passive [Higher Vision] was fully revealed. Even the smallest monster that escaped Dilan’s large-scale slaughter show couldn’t escape her attacks.
Dilan’s actions lead Ailee to attack the severely injured monsters and those that escaped his attacks.
Meanwhile, Oliver was just looking at Ailee, wondering what the hell had happened to the girl he likes.
‘Is she really the same?! Why do I feel like she turns into a mass murderer when she is with Dilan?! Is that how much influence he has on her??’ He thought in astonishment.
Oliver never realized how much influence Dilan had on other people. The courage his [Beyond the Stars] title provided was already more than enough to motivate rather timid people to fight with their life on the line.
But what the title turned people like Ailee, who were already confident, and ready to set their life on the line was clearly visible right now.
Ailee’s entire demeanor seemed to be overflowing with the intention to kill every single enemy in front of them.
She was shooting her arrows without hesitation and aiming precisely. Even if not every single shot hit the bullseye, Ailee hit her designated target with each shot.
Ailee reaped the lives of her opponents, while blood, body parts, and death were all one could see around her, caused by the actions and attacks of the Slaughterer himself.
On the other hand, Oliver’s heart tightened when he saw how many monsters Ailee was killing.
‘If she continues like this, her combat strength will skyrocket and she will leave me behind!!’ His realization made him feel both nervous and a bit jealous, and Oliver could only force his mind to shut off at the sight of all the blood, the cruel way in which Dilan killed his opponents, and the fact that the scenery in front of him was simply disgusting.
[Shadow Walk]!
Tightly grasping the CrimsonClaw Daggers, Oliver disappeared from the spot. He reappeared in the shadows of a monster several meters away from him before he lashed out.
His speed was not overwhelming fast, such as Dilan’s speed, and neither were his attacks like Ailee, who could precisely see where severely injured monsters were located.
However, Oliver’s advantage was that he could move without getting noticed, disappear on the spot and reappear in the most disadvantageous areas before slashing out with the razor-sharp CrimsonClaw Daggers.
Dilan had a total of 10 of them before. Their value was exceptional with the current dangers and the fact that Tier-1 existences were the strongest they had encountered until now.
Thus, Oliver’s prowess was evidently beyond everything he could have attained earlier, with the wrong choice of weapons. His strength was high, and his weapons sharp enough to cut through every opponent he slashed at.
Oliver’s attacks caused blood to spurt through the surrounding, body parts to be cut off, and death to everyone who dared step in his path.
Without him realizing, let alone acknowledging it, he was finally beginning to grow used to the idea of the slaughter of monsters. Oliver’s entire existence was focused on nothing but the death of his opponents, and his mind felt like it was completely blank, except that one thought.
‘I need to kill all of them!’
That was how big Dilan’s influence was, the influence of the Slaughterer, and the person, who allowed both Oliver and Ailee to improve, to become much stronger than they have ever been.
Dilan allowed them to unveil their fuel potential, to understand that there was much more to become stronger than just their stats, and abilities.
They themselves as living beings had to keep progressing, otherwise, even high stats and great abilities would never allow them to become truly powerful!
