Chapter 472 Inside The Fog
A steady stream of Draconic Mana kept being inserted in Dilan's body. It circulated through his eyes which caused them to shine brightly.
The insides of his pupils started to turn red and the itching and burning sensation kept getting worse. However, Dilan kept his mouth shut.
He grit his teeth and simply accepted the changes that occurred to his vision.
The changes metamorphosed his eyes temporarily, turning them into serpentine eyes that were able to see much more than Dilan was actually able to see.
His eyes turned into an identical version of Rory's, giving him the same vision she possessed.
"What is that?" Dilan's jaw dropped to the ground when he saw that everything on the ground was covered in dense, grayish fog. Under normal circumstances. Dilan wouldn't be able to see anything through the fog that seemed to have appeared in his sight without warning, but he could clearly see everything that ought to be hidden by the grey fog.
"Everyone is there…." He mumbled before his companion decided to give him a detailed explanation of what was actually going on.
[You're currently seeing through a replica of my eyes. Your sight is similar to mine right now, though a bit inferior. With enough mana, you would be able to do much more with them than seeing the Gray Mana Fog, or your people.
Just think of it as an isolation barrier that prevents people from inside to see anything outside the fog, and that no mortal being is able to see what is happening within the Gray Mana Fog.] Rory said and Dilan nodded his head in interest.
"So that's how it is…but doesn't that mean there should be a Mythical being or something that transcends the mortal threshold, nearby?" He inquired, figuring that there shouldn't be Gray Mana Fog without a being creating, or controlling it.
It was too much of a coincidence that the Gray Mana Fog had appeared at the exact spot where Dilan's Undying Group and many strong people he had killed in the last few days were.
There were more than ten thousand Tier-2 Ascenders on the ground in front of them, and they all belonged to Dilan in one way or another.
They were free from harm right now. No monster could be found around them and they were able to breathe without problem as well.
And that was why Dilan didn't feel too bothered about the Gray Mana Fog even though it might be the creation of a Mythical Creature.
[The Gray Mana Fog could have been artificially created as well. There is not actually the need for a fourth Tier Mythical creature to join the fight, especially if they're Chaos Monsters!] Rory said quite nonchalantly and Dilan agreed to it.
"Alright, then let's go down to meet up with the others," He then said before Rory descended to the ground next to the Undying Group.
Rory had to release her Dragon breath to push aside enough of the Gray Mana Fog so that they could descend properly.
Upon landing, Rory was surrounded by Ascenders, but none of them pointed their weapons at her.
They knew that Rory belonged to Dilan's group and that Dilan was here to fight by their side.
Thus, he was greeted heartily as everyone took a breath of relief knowing that their chances of survival increased by leaps and bounds with Dilan by their side.
"Did the scouts find the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction already?" Dilan asked, first things first. He looked over to Sven, who was in charge of the Undying Group in Dilan's absence and Dilan could see a trace of uncertainty in his eyes.
"The surrounding area is a little bit weird. The scouts found signs of Chaos Monsters but they seem to be concealed due to external factors!" Sven explained, and Dilan immediately thought about the Gray Mana Fog.
'Seems like Chaos Monsters can hide inside the Gray Mana Fog as well, even from people within it…' Dilan arrived at this conclusion in his mind while Rory added,
[Your Ascenders cannot see the Gray Mana Fog, which is also the reason why they cannot see the Chaos Monsters inside it.
You shouldn't have any problems with that for the next few hours until the power I lend you has worn off.]
Dilan surveyed his immediate surroundings and he could easily tell what was going on.
Tens of Chaos Monsters had sprung up in front of him and more of them followed suit in no time.
"We're about to encounter them. Get into position and don't be afraid to fight them head-on!" Dilan shouted after he jumped on top of Rory's head.
His vocal cords were augmented with the use of Mana and everyone's attention turned over to him.
"Everyone here is much stronger than what you guys believe about your strength. Trust your powers, don't get over excited and rush too far ahead, and we will certainly survive!" He added, shouting at the top of his lungs.
His shrill voice echoed through the surroundings and utter silence followed suit for a few seconds until the first few Ascenders couldn't contain themselves anymore.
"Let's slaughter these bitches!!"
"Kill them all!"
"I'm ready for a massacre!"
"Skin them alive!"
Listening to all these comments the corners of Dilan's lips began to twitch.
He remained silent but his expressions were a clear indicator of what he thought about their words.
"Looks like you guys are ready to fight. In that case, let's go!" Dilan let out a war cry, before raising his hand high in the air.
One of his Rings began to glow brightly and a large amount of Mana was drained from his body before a ginormous Inferno erupted high into the air.
Rory roared out and a terrifying, highly oppressive pressure emerged from deep within her body.
Everyone except Dilan felt the true lethality of the Dragon Authority Rory had released at this moment.
The Ascenders felt suffocated, their legs gave in and their eyes watered.
"Was that really neces-…well, nevermind," Dilan said and he shrugged his shoulders after a moment.
'If I am allowed to show off, Rory might as well do the same,' He only thought before retracting the remaining power within the Disintegrating Inferno.
The temperature decreased again but Dilan could see something that interested him quite a bit.
"It looks like some of them can see the Gray Mana Fog and all the Chaos Monsters in front of us," Dilan announced as he looked at his Ascenders.
Sven's eyes were widened and it was obvious that his mind was rattling. His expression revealed his doubts, including the fact that they would have to fight millions of Chaos Monsters with a numerical advantage worse than one in a thousand.
That was bad but Dilan didn't care about that. He and Rory were ready to kill millions of opponents while the others were supposed to finish off care of as many of them as possible using various means.
All of his Ascenders were ready and their preparations were more than enough to be assured of their victory, or so Dilan hoped.
But whether that was truly enough or not was something they would only be able to tell in the future.
And this future was something Dilan looked forward to.
