Chapter 252 Nothing?
“There is still no news from the Blue Star camp?” Dilan asked the sister after he eyed his stats with a slight trace of satisfaction.
His Agility was his highest stat if one ignored the amplification Dilan received from his Origin ability.
It was the stats that were likely to reach the limits of a Tier-1 existence, even if Dilan was in possession of the Cursed Blessing [Will of the Primordial].
As long as Dilan’s Agility increased close to 40 additional Units, he would have reached his limit.
But until that happened, a long time would have to pass.
‘I will never reach Tier-3 or Tier-4 if it takes that long for me to cross a single level, or to increase my stats just a little bit.’ Dilan thought for a moment before averting his attention back to the more important factor; the current and pressing issue, if one could label it such.
“There is not a single report about the Blue Star camp, let alone news of some soldiers or armies preparing themselves to come over to destroy our base,” Yvonne answered him.
“I mean it’s great that it doesn’t look like we will get attacked by the Blue Star camp, but even our Scouts can’t find them. This includes the scouts, who dared to venture further away from Shiron, in the direction where Felia and the others drove to when leaving our base.” Kathrine added, feeling that the situation was too suspicious.
Dilan nodded his head while thinking of a way to figure out what exactly happened to the Blue Star camp. From the way he looked at the situation, the military wouldn’t allow anyone to form their own group, and kill their soldiers.
They would have long since tried to save their face by either destroying Dilan’s base or by teaching him a lesson.
In the end, the military didn’t like people who did whatever they wanted to and let them roam free. They would look at Dilan as a terrorist, whether he had a good reason to kill one of their people or not.
‘Everyone who disobeys them will be their enemy. This is even more so for groups that were created without their permission, and for those, who act however they please…aka me.’ Dilan thought, feeling bothered about not having gotten any news or updates about the Blue Star camp yet.
Something was definitely wrong, and the only issue was that he had no idea how to find out what exactly was wrong with the Blue Star camp.
“In which direction did Felia and her soldiers drive?” Dilan suddenly asked, turning his head straight to Xenia, who had just entered the room as per his orders.
He had heard her footsteps when she was still further away which was why Xenia was a little bit baffled when Dilan asked her a question the moment she opened the door.
“Eh…Felia and her soldiers drove in the north-eastern direction.” She instinctively answered, just to see that Dilan lifted his right eyebrow as if he wanted to say ‘And how the hell am I supposed to know where north-east is?’
“The exact opposite direction of the Pagoda of Time…”
Xenia was still not sure what the reason was for her to have been ordered to come to Sarah’s workshop, but upon seeing Dilan’s faint smile, chills ran down her spine, and she wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
“Alright, I will take my leave then, I will leave Shiron for a few days. Take care of everything, little Fallen Angel.” Dilan said in a caring tone while looking over to Yvonne before he took their leave.
He ignored the confused gazes on the sisters and Xenia’s faces and left the workshop along with the base to make a short trip.
“Is he doing what I think he is doing?” Xenia asked, not actually expecting anyone to answer her as her gaze followed Dilan and observed the nonchalant way he walked out of the base.
“I think he is doing exactly what you think he is doing…” Kathrine commented as her lips twitched. ‘He doesn’t even think of asking anyone to help him, does he??’
“Yep, he’ll definitely go and take a look at the Blue Star camp. All by himself, like always…” Yvonne reaffirmed, feeling slightly dejected.
Everyone was working so hard to improve and to become as strong as Dilan was. However, he still didn’t share his visions and ideas with them.
It could be considered progress that he hinted to them where he was going, and that he would be away for a few days.
This was not something they were used to if they considered Dilan’s personality.
Yvonne’s sour mood improved a bit at this thought, but she was still feeling a little bit frustrated.
“We are still too weak for him…” She mumbled, only for Xenia and Kathrine to nod their heads as a heavy sigh escaped their mouths.
“He will be fine, right?” Kathrine asked suddenly. Even if the Blue Star camp didn’t really matter to her, it was really weird for the Blue Star camp to do nothing about them.
Everyone expected that something big was about to happen. However, nothing had happened until now, and everyone was fully prepared for an all-out war and waiting anxiously.
It was obvious that Dilan wanted to prevent an all-out war, but it was not as if he would hide away from it.
If necessary, Dilan would fight against other humans with his life on the line!
But Dilan didn’t think that it would be necessary to fight the Blue Star camp. Rather, he was pretty sure that something big had already happened.
That was also why he went on his own, leaving behind everyone else. He trusted Yvonne, Kathrine, and the others more than enough to look after the base while he was away.
There was no need to be worried about the base, at least, not as long as the situation at the Blue Star camp was not as dangerous as he presumed it to be.
With his Agility, crossing a distance of 500 kilometers was nothing. Lightly jogging, without bothering about the monsters around him, Dilan reached an extremely high speed.
In a matter of a few hours and a few short breaks, Dilan encountered the first signs of human life.
A few soldiers, whom Dilan presumed to be scouts, were running through the surroundings. It looked like they were searching for something or someone.
They didn’t even notice Dilan at first. However, the moment they saw him, their eyes were filled with fear. Without a second of hesitation, they activated an acceleration-ability with which they dashed off and away from him.
To their misfortune, Dilan’s base Agility was still higher, even after the Scouts had used their acceleration-ability.
There was not even the use for him to use [Thunder Step], and he merely dashed ahead while making use of his high Agility.
A second later, using his entire speed, he appeared next to the Soldiers, before slowing down.
“Hey guys, why are we running away?” Dilan asked rather nonchalantly.
“Are you an idiot? We are running away from that bloodthirsty Ascender?!?” One of the Soldiers shouted in the answer without turning his head.
He didn’t even realize that he was speaking to the same bloodthirsty Ascender they were running away from.
“What do you mean bloodthirsty Ascender? Maybe he is a good guy?” Dilan asked, pretty sure that the Soldiers didn’t know him well.
They were Scouts, Tier-1 Ascenders, and they weren’t supposed to know him at all.
“Are you still drunk from yesterday?! Every Ascender, who doesn’t belong to our group, is bloodthirsty. They want our life, all of them!! Don’t tell me you hit your head and forgot what happened a few days ago?” Another soldier shouted, visibly enraged.
They had yet to realize that Dilan was not one of their fellow colleagues, but the very person they were desperately trying to run away from.
“But I’m a good guy…most of the time, at least…maybe…well, sometimes…”
