Undying Warlord Chapter 213 Power

Chapter 213 Power

When Dilan saw how easily the Minotaur Leader destroyed his Mana Slash, Dilan’s smile turned broader.
He completely forgot about his mission, the people he was responsible for and the possible dangers the Pagoda of Time might harbor.
His mind was solely focused on the situation ahead and the powerful Minotaur, whose red hide smoked.
Wanting to calm his erratic heart, he clutched his chest with his free hand and could feel his wild heartbeat..
Goosebumps sprang up all over his body the moment he sensed that the Minotaurs in front of him were even stronger than the believers of the Sun temple, whom he had fought earlier.
His hands began to tremble at the sight of the ferocious Minotaurs that had lost their reasoning due to the Berserk state they had been forced into.
Relying solely on their wild instincts, the two dozen Silver Tier-1 Minotaurs rushed ahead while brandishing the gigantic weapons they wielded.
On the other hand, the Minotaur leader in red stared intently at Dilan with its bloodthirsty eyes. It had yet to move but the ground below its feet started to crack when the Minotaur prepared itself to charge ahead.
Dilan’s eyes turned serious the moment the first Minotaur showed signs of attacking. Adrenaline coursed through his body and he activated [Thunder Step] followed by [Second Acceleration].
This time, he didn’t hesitate to activate [Second Acceleration] at its full potential.
Both agility-boosting abilities would become a burden if used together, and their mana consumption would clearly skyrocket.
However, the amplification he received was more than enough for him to reach an Agility higher than any of his opponents could attain.
After crossing 100 Units in his Agility, Dilan slashed the serpent form of the Blazing Serpentine Blade at the ferocious Minotaurs, who charged at him without hesitation.
Their speed was not slow, by any means. However, they were simply too slow against Dilan.
Dashing forward with all his might, Dilan reached the closest Minotaur a fraction of a second later.
The Blazing Serpentine Blade he had already slashed at his opponents followed his movements, changing its trajectory in an instant.
His first attack had been a ruse to cover up his advance to the closest Minotaur.
It worked exactly as he had predicted because the Minotaurs had attempted to destroy the serpent form of the Blazing Serpentine Blade by slashing at it.
They had even accepted to get severely injured just to see their opponent lose his weapon.
In Dilan’s opinion that was stupid but he couldn’t demand monsters to display a high level of intelligence when they had lost the majority of their reasoning.
Nonetheless, their wild instincts were far more advanced than he could have imagined as the Minotaur he had approached in a fraction of a second had noticed his movements.
His Agility was 60 Units higher than his opponents, reaching a level that was 100 times that of the average human before the Primordial Ascension.
It was near-impossible for anyone to perceive his movements as long as their Agility didn’t reach 60 Units at the bare minimum.
However, the wild instincts and the exceptional perception of the Minotaurs allowed them to achieve this.
Moving quickly, the Minotaur he had targeted tried to block the attack that was about to reach it.
Yet, it was just a second late in perceiving the red flash.
And this second was more than enough for Dilan. The red flash passed by the Silver Tier-1 Minotaur, whose sight blurred.
Moments later its legs began to grow weaker and buckled under the weight of its body. Not long after, the monster collapsed on the ground.
Dilan didn’t pay much attention to the dying Minotaur. He had no time to do so because the other Minotaurs had already moved as well.
They were able to change their trajectory rapidly in order to attack Dilan with their overwhelming strength and numerical advantage.
Dilan was finding it a bit hard to evade all attacks.
However, thanks to the Blazing Serpentine Blade, the blade’s extreme sharpness and accurate slash from Dilan made it not necessary for him to evade the attack of 23 Minotaurs, whose Strength exceeded 60 Units.
His own Strength was not lower than theirs, and by activating [Momentary Strengthening] of the Balrog’s leather gloves, Dilan was able to reach a slightly higher Strength than the Silver Tier-1 Minotaurs.
Adding his terrific Agility to the mix, Dilan could turn into a slaughter machine the moment he would break through the defense of his opponents.
But it was just when the second Silver Tier-1 Minotaur was taking its last breaths when Dilan noticed something from the sideline.
‘So you’re finally joining? Was about time!’
The Gold Tier-1 Minotaur finally took its first step. Fine cracks appeared on the ground around its hooves as the Minotaur leader shot through the highest floor of the Pagoda.
It let out a terrifying roar so as to intimidate the Silver Tier-1 Minotaurs and blasted away to protect them from being sliced apart.
With a simple yet extremely powerful slash, the Gold Tier-1 Minotaur attacked Dilan.
Its Strength exceeded 100 Units and could be perceived instinctively as he sensed that he would die if he wouldn’t evade the attack.
Being extremely fast might be exceptionally helpful to defeat opponents with an equal or higher strength but if he failed to block a single attack of a stronger opponent, his extraordinary high Agility was of no use.
‘Evade!!’ Dilan shouted in his mind as he retracted the serpent form of the Blazing Serpentine Blade.
He pushed his body to the side using every single bit of power within him.
In the end, his fast Agility allowed Dilan to evade the Minotaur’s attack. Its black sword cut through the air, devastating the surroundings easily.
The drafts of wind created by the Minotaur’s powerful slashes blasted into Dilan’s face, forcing him to close his eyes to avoid letting dust and debris enter his eyes.
Retreating rapidly, Dilan reached the other side of the room in an instant.
With his eyes half-open, he was still able to see everyone. However, this included the red Minotaur, whose reflexes exceeded the ordinary limits of an existence with an Agility lower than 100 Units.
Its reaction speed was barely slower than Dilan’s, making things difficult for him but he was not going to give up easily.
Blazing flames engulfed the Serpentine Blade in its original form.
His body was leaning forward a bit as he blasted toward the Minotaur at breakneck speed.
It didn’t take a quarter of a second before they emerged in front of each other.
The Minotaur initiated another attack, ready to split Dilan into two.
However, Dilan quickly moved to the side before he jumped toward the Minotaur.
He activated [Mana Slash] with more than ten Mana units, and was ready to enlarge the Blazing Serpentine Blade as he lashed out with it.
That way he planned to eliminate the Minotaur before it could even move.
His attack had to be strong enough to break through the Minotaur’s neck because he was not confident of piercing through its skull.
But even before his piercing attack reached the Minotaur, its body twisted, causing horrifying sounds of bones cracking to resound in Dilan’s ear as the minotaur evaded his attack even before it was fully issued.
Simultaneously, the Minotaur leader’s empty hand had turned into a fist that wanted to punch Dilan with a rapid speed.
When Dilan saw all of this happening right in front of his eyes, they widened in shock.
[Aegis’ Shield]!
A blueish shield manifested right next to Dilan, blocking the path of the high-velocity punch that would have hit Dilan’s abdomen from the side, probably breaking several ribs and possibly rupturing his internal organs.
Nonetheless, the shield was just a single layer of protection…a powerful layer of protection but that was it.
It didn’t save him from the impact that flung Dilan more than a dozen meters through the air. He thrashed into the wall of the Pagoda’s highest floor and landed on the ground a moment later.
Blood trickled out of his mouth but he was not able to rest even for a millisecond.
‘Fuck it.’ He could only think, understanding once again that he had underestimated the strength of monsters.
Not all of them were powerful, and not all of them were weak. However, the Minotaur Leader was definitely a monster that was different from everything he had fought until today.
Its fighting experience was higher than that of the Eternal Guards, and so was its strength. It used abilities that increased its strength and didn’t use its mana for anything else.
However, that was not necessary because its stats had reached a terrifying threshold others wouldn’t be able to overcome.
‘Is the 15th floor even supposed to be cleared?’ Dilan suddenly wondered, feeling that no ordinary Ascender would be able to conquer the Pagoda of Time, not considering that this was the difficulty of a raid…
