Undying Warlord Chapter 244 Assassin, Archer, and the Slaughterer

Chapter 244 Assassin, Archer, and the Slaughterer

Oliver had not been as frustrated as Ailee about her strength.
However, even he faced issues due to the fact that his natural talent to fighting was lower than William’s and a few others.
At the same time, both Ailee and Oliver did not possess many abilities, let alone powerful ones such as Kathrine’s [Lightning strike].
They were also amongst the majority of Survivors, who didn’t have an Origin ability.
In fact, amongst Dilan’s group, only he and Yvonne had openly revealed that they were in possession of an Origin ability.
Others might hide their Origin ability but Dilan didn’t think that there was anyone else with an Origin ability, not in his group at least.
His group had also decreased in size. Now they were less than 2000 Survivors, with more than half of them being Ascenders.
After the incident where Dilan had killed the soldiers and the traitors, close to 200 Survivors had left them. They wanted to join the Blue Star camp, which was why they chose to leave Dilan’s group and search for the camp on their own, and in small groups.
Dilan didn’t hold them back, and he even gave them his support as long as he didn’t suffer any losses because of the help he provided.
As for the remaining survivors, all of them were exceptional in Dilan’s opinion. They didn’t even consider leaving the group to join the government and the military.
Instead, their priority was to stay with Dilan and to survive with him!
Now that the incident was a thing of the past, Dilan decided to focus on the present and the future. Thus, he left the base with Ailee and Oliver, and found that it was quite relaxing to speak with the two.
It had been quite a while since Dilan had the time and nerve to give himself the time to relax and have a good chat with the two.
Both Ailee and Oliver were amongst the first and oldest Ascenders in his group. A few of the oldest Survivors were still in his group, and most of them had advanced to become powerful Ascenders by now.
Kathrine and Yvonne belonged to this batch though Dilan had known Ailee and Oliver for a bit longer.
Sadly, a little bit longer than a month was how long he had known most of the people around him.
He had yet to see anyone familiar from before the Primordial Ascension such as his friends.
Occasionally Dilan wondered if everyone was fine. But then again, even if they were alive, or dead, it was not as if he could find out anything about their whereabouts.
Even if he could, it was actually not helpful. Thus, Dilan focused on the present and the people who were currently with him, fighting for their survival.
That was also why he observed Ailee and Oliver intently when the three of them entered the Gate to the Mountain ring of the Elements.
What Dilan saw, however, baffled him a little bit.
‘Didn’t they say that they have already reached Level 14, both of them at that?’
Dilan frowned while looking at Ailee and Oliver. Their strength was not bad, per se, but it felt somewhat unrefined. Their combat experience was decent, and their passive mastery abilities were quite helpful as well.
However, there were still several factors that bothered Dilan.
When the two finished their first fight against a lower-leveled Silver Tier-1 monster, Oliver had almost been injured once, and Ailee’s arrows that had been amplified with one of her occupational abilities hadn’t struck the right spots.
“Guys, I didn’t intend to intervene in whatever you’re doing, but is it possible that the two of you rely on the experiences you’ve gained from the passive abilities you procured a long time ago?” Dilan’s question was not actually difficult to answer.
He just wanted to know if they were solely relying on their passive mastery abilities to fight.
After all, that was what it looked like.
“Well, you could say so. I fight according to the experiences I’ve gained through my Archery mastery occupation…” Ailee acknowledged after a second or two of hesitation.
She was pretty sure that her way of fighting was correct. After all, if she were to use her own experiences instead of making use of what she gained from her passive ability, her combat prowess would decrease drastically.
“I do the same, or at least, roughly…I think.” Oliver finally admitted as well after he endured Dilan’s piercing gaze for several seconds.
After receiving their hesitant answers, he could only sigh deeply.
“It’s great that you got yourself mastery abilities, about combat occupations at that. That’s truly helpful and something not even many [Rare] occupations provides.
However, if you solely rely on the memories and experiences provided by others, how would you guys improve? First of all the experiences mostly belongs to existences, whose average stats are at 1. That means, their combat style is completely different than what you can reveal in a fight against monsters, whose strength is 30 times the average of a human before the Primordial Ascension.
Other than that, you guys have completely different abilities, your distribution of status points is completely different, and both your strengths and weaknesses are completely different to everything shown in the memories and experiences of the combat mastery abilities.
It is great to know how to wield a weapon. However, the wielder has still to learn how to actually use it in action for maximum impact.
Some experience was already provided to you, but refining and creating your own style would be the best.
After all, the fighting style of everyone varies quite a lot, whether it was before or after the Primordial Ascension.
Everyone has their own few perks, their own disadvantages, habits and special tricks, right?”
Dilan finished his short lecture with a question before smiling faintly at the two Ascenders.
Oliver and Ailee didn’t need long to understand what Dilan meant, and they felt somewhat embarrassed.
Everything Dilan had just said was something they should have known already. However, because they had been too ignorant, their progress had been hampered.
Dilan didn’t mind their mistake, but the two were visibly embarrassed.
“How about we keep going? There is no need to be embarrassed, just try to improve. That way everyone will be happier.
Keep an eye on your actions, your opponents, and if possible your comrades as well.
If there is something wrong with my fighting style, or if there is something amiss or weird, just speak up as well.
I’m still far away from being considered a good fighter in terms of technique!”
Both Ailee and Oliver were of a different opinion because they could see that Dilan had disappeared from his location like a cat making no sound.
He didn’t use any ability either. Dilan simply disappeared before appearing somewhere else, slashing out with the Blazing Serpentine Blade.
The enlarged blade shot through the narrow gap, precisely avoiding the thick trees that stood in its way before a painful squeal escaped a monster’s mouth.
A small, blue-furred Rabbit had been pierced by Dilan’s attack. It was merely a small monster but both Ailee and Oliver’s eyes widened.
‘Isn’t that the Blue Flash Reaper?’ Ailee nearly blurted out, barely quieting down to prevent overreacting all of a sudden.
The Blue Flash Reaper had an Agility that rivaled Gold Tier-1 monsters, and it was one of the most annoying monsters most Ascenders had ever faced.
They were extremely annoyed every single time they encountered this monster. After all, it would inflict minor injuries to their opponents while flashing through the surrounding area before disappearing once again.
Dilan didn’t know the monster he had just killed, but Ailee and Oliver had faced it twice already. And they had been forced to leave the Mountain Ring of the Elements because of that monster specifically!
That was why both forced their mouths shut when they saw the monster’s corpse pierced by Dilan’s Blazing Serpentine blade.
“Y-Yeah…we will point out the moment we notice that something is odd about your combat style…” Oliver stuttered while feeling way too flustered to even say something to Dilan.
‘How the hell does he expect us to say something if he acts like that a moment later? I cannot turn into a flash and throw out Wonder Woman’s whip all of a sudden!?’ He cursed inwardly.
Oliver started to get annoyed at Dilan. He acted as if he had so much to learn, yet, his actions were the exact opposite of what he actually said.
Meanwhile, Ailee could only nod her head silently. Her eyes were gleaming brightly at the sight of Dilan’s mighty prowess, and he could see a tinge of awe and fascination in them.
This irked Oliver even more. He tightened his grip over his daggers, making his veins and muscles pop out while his knuckles turned white.
‘I will surpass you, Dilan. Just you wait!!’
And with that in mind, the small journey of the Assassin, the Archer and the Slaughterer inside the Gate of the Mountain Ring of the Elements began.
