Undying Warlord Chapter 91 Second Gate?

Chapter 91 Second Gate?

“If you wanna come at me, don’t stop…it’s now or never!”
Dilan was able to continue fighting.
His Stamina was far from being depleted, and the injuries he had sustained were not enough to decrease his combat prowess.
To be precise, it was more likely for his strength to increase because adrenaline was coursing through his body.
He was ready to take on every kind of opponent, whether it was another Silver monster or a Tier-1 existence!
However, even before Dilan could finish his words, the presence he radiated scared away all the monsters.
They could instinctively decipher that they would die the moment they showed hostility towards Dilan.
The monsters that had been attracted by the commotion and the shed blood of the powerful beings soaking into the mud quickly dispersed.
Dilan was finally freed of most of the gazes that were fixated on him, giving him the necessary time to extract the Essence crystals from the four corpses.
This took quite a while which was mostly owed to the Earthworm. It was quite difficult to find its Essence crystal.
“So…that is how ordinary Tier-1 Essence crystals look like?” Dilan mumbled when he finally found the Earthworm’s essence crystal.-.
It was a grayish essence crystal that was twice the size of a Tierless Essence crystal. At the first glance, it looked just like any ordinary Tierless Essence crystal, but when he looked at it intently Dilan noticed that the crystal itself was far more refined than any other Essence crystal he had ever touched.
Sensing the Essence that coursed through it, Dilan’s eyes lit up because he could tell that it was far more potent and beneficial to him than the Silver Essence of the Lightning Shiroa rat!
This astonished him a little bit but he began to absorb everything at once.
All of a sudden the Earthworm’s Essence crystal crumbled, only to release a twinkling shimmer that levitated in the air.
While looking at it, Dilan was distracted for a moment. This was a big mistake as he realized too late that the enormous amount of the Earthworm’s Essence entered his body at once.
Every pore of his body opened right away, allowing air and mana to pave its way toward him. It was as if he was taking drugs to make himself feel high.
An excited smile emerged on his face as his entire body was invigorated, only for the sensation to disappear all of a sudden.
From feeling as if he could conquer the entire world, the bubble of euphoria dispersed as he was slapped with the reality around him in an instant.
Nothing really changed except the progression bar of the Kirak’s Vassal’s occupation.
Or at least it looked like nothing else had changed.
However, Dilan craved for more Essence, which was why he absorbed the other ordinary Tier-1 Essence crystal that he received from the Armadillo’s corpse.
Afterward, he absorbed the Silver Essence of the Tierless Silver scale Lizard as well.
He wanted to continue and absorb the remaining Essence but waited for a moment.
“I’ll just save one of the Silver Essence crystals. Maybe, I will get a present from the Gate again.”
Dilan was hoping that he would receive the same discount he got for the first time he exchanged a Bronze Essence crystal with a treasure when trading the Silver Essence crystal.
The chance to receive another discount was quite low, but Dilan hoped for the best.
He stored one of the Silver Essence crystals in his backpack, just to make sure that he didn’t miss out on a great opportunity.
His gaze lingered on the monster corpses for quite some time, only to end up shrugging his shoulders.
Even if he were to give his best to reorganize his backpack and make some room, there was not much he could take with him.
The only thing he was able to do was to squeeze a few silver scales in it before it would be filled to the brim.
A moment later Dilan just looked at himself and realized the extent to which his clothes and backpack were burned.
Even some of the hair he had tied back to have a clear sight had been singed.
Feeling the stings of the burns on his skin, Dilan used his Origin ability a few times in succession.
Afterward, he began to absorb mana once again while turning towards the tunnels that led deeper into the treasure trove of a mine.
“Nah, I can look at it later. There is no need to rush!” Mumbling to himself, he smiled faintly before taking a look at the colored illuminating crystals.
An idea formed in his head which was why he approached one of the two-meter tall crystals before piercing out at one.
Breaking a corner of it, he held it in his hand before examining it intently.
‘Is that a firefly inside the crystal? No…it is more like a small wisp?’
Dilan was not sure what he saw within the crystal, but there was a faint reddish droplet within the semi-translucent crystal that was shrouded in a faint milky color.
It didn’t look all that special and didn’t glow at all. However, when Dilan inserted 0.1 Unit of mana inside the crystal the reddish droplet began to glow.
Swirling through the crystal, its glow intensified, illuminating his surrounding in a reddish hue to a certain extent.
‘I wonder how long the effect lasts. If the glow wears off after a long time, and we can alter the brightness of these crystals it might allow us to go out hunting during the night!’
Dilan was quite excited about his discovery. As such, he pocketed the crystal in his half-burned pants before he thought about what he should do next.
“Will there even be real boss monsters like in dungeons of video games?” Dilan mumbled to himself. He was not sure about the answer, but it didn’t really matter if he were to be honest.
In the end, he hoped that there would be many more Silver monsters and ordinary Tier-1 monsters for him to kill! The more the merrier because they would allow him to advance to Tier-1 with the occupation he would be the most compatible with.
Knowing that the depths of the cave were not as interesting as a different location he wanted to find; the place to which the horned rats carried the baskets of ores and illuminating crystals!
To prevent anyone from attacking him off-guard, Dilan rested a little bit until the stings of his burned skin had disappeared.
Afterward, he prepared himself to fight once again.
With calm steps he left the cavern entrance, just to hide in the darkness, and take cover behind the stones and little hills.
Once the horned rats and Krendels were to attack him, they would run everywhere but the place they were currently targeting.
In the worst case, they might even alert multiple stronger monsters about his presence! Dilan wanted to avoid this because he had to overwhelm his opponents in order to gain an upper hand.
This was the most important because he was not confident enough to kill several Tierless Silver or Tier-1 ordinary monsters at the same time.
Not only did he feel as if his weaponry skills were underdeveloped, but he didn’t have powerful and tough equipment.
If possible, Dilan would love to obtain a whole set of an armor, new weapons, special armaments, and a device that could store objects such as a spatial ring!
His movements were slightly restricted owing to the fully filled backpack. It made things more complicated, which was a nuisance.
But even if he wished to be fully equipped with treasures, this was not as easy as he made it seem.
After all, where should he get his hands on all the treasures he wanted.
Just when Dilan thought about this question, it was as if somebody listened to his inner voice and provided him with a solution.
He had followed some ore-carrying horned rats for more than an hour after which his eyes fell on something that baffled him greatly.
A huge gate that was more than 25 meters in diameter entered his view!
However, even if the Gate’s appearance astonished him, this was not everything he was able to see right now!
