Undying Warlord Chapter 271 Beheaded

Chapter 271 Beheaded

“A deal?” Dilan asked, trying to act as if he was interested. However, he could only start laughing a moment later.
“…a deal, you’re funny.” He said while continuing to laugh. It took him a while to calm down. The others looked at him in confusion, while the only Vampire, who was left alive, swallowed his saliva in fear.
‘This man will definitely kill me…’ He thought as a shiver ran down his spine. Dilan had yet to say anything but the laugh of the madman was definitely a bad sign.
Dilan had killed the other Vampire without hesitation as well. This was not a good sign, and goosebumps spread all over his body. The entire situation made him feel as if something had gone wrong and he would die next.
‘Why…just why did we have to pursue this archer woman?? I don’t want to die yet!!!’ Desperation filled the vampire, but he didn’t dare to move, let alone to say anything as he sensed the killing intent that radiated from Dilan all of a sudden.
Dilan’s eyes were ice-cold and he stared into the depth of the glowing crimson eyes of the vampire, completely ignoring their intimidating effect.
“Fuck your deal! I can just kill you and make a few tests with the Blood Essence by myself. There are more than enough Vampires in the Blood Legion, whom I will kill in the following hours, either way. Don’t dare to think that you are the last one, who can answer my questions!” Dilan’s voice was gloomy and everyone knew that he spoke nothing but the bitter truth.
He would kill everyone, eradicate the Blood Legion, and this would give him the necessary time to find out more about the Blood Essence they could receive from Vampires instead of ordinary Essences.
“I will give you one chance,” Dilan said while lifting two fingers. “Either you answer my questions and I will kill you with a single strike in which you won’t notice anything, or I will torture you and you will die painfully while still being questioned by me.” Even if Dilan was calm and acted as if he was discussing the weather, everyone could tell that he would do whatever he said.
There was no way that he would hesitate to kill the Vampire in front of them.
However, Kuhn’s eyes widened. Kuhn thought that the Vampire in front of them was rather composed and quite nice. It didn’t look like he was a bad guy. Thus, the young Ascenders couldn’t help but approach Dilan, before tugging at his sleeve in hesitation.
‘Please don’t punish me for what I’m going to ask…’ Kuhn could only pray inwardly before he asked. “Dilan…Boss, is…that not a bit harsh? I mean he would probably reveal more information if you allow him to stay alive.”
What Kuhn said made sense, and Dilan knew this as well. However, his ice-cold sky blue eyes were full of killing intent and it looked like nobody could stop him anymore.
“Harsh? You are asking if I am harsh? Did you even listen when I told you what the Blood Legion did to all the camps they destroyed? From the information Clerens got to know alone, it has already been confirmed that the Blood Legion killed more than 50,000 humans…in the last TWO weeks!” Dilan could understand Kuhn’s train of thoughts but the young Ascender was still naive.
‘He is way too innocent. The moment he faces someone human-like, his conscience starts to act and make him feel guilty. He can kill ferocious monsters because they look and act like they would kill you the moment the opportunity appears, but not humans…or vampires.’
“Just try to understand what I am going to tell you now. You want to survive, right? However, if you want them to survive as well, what do you expect to happen?
Would you want them to change their nature? That they stop hunting humans? Forget about it. They will keep hunting humans.
I think you are mistaking something about this trip. We are here to eradicate this extremely dangerous threat, the entire Blood Legion. Not a single one can escape alive!
They have attacked several human camps, and it is only a matter of time until they will find our camp and attack us too! They won’t hesitate to slit open your throat and drink your blood while you’re dying in their hands. Don’t let them kill you, and kill them yourself before anything can happen instead!!” Dilan finished his short lecture, before taking a deep breath.
He spoke much more than he wanted to but he could tell that it was necessary. Irrespective of the fact whether their threats were monsters, other races, humans, or human-like existences, all of them had to be killed, mercilessly. They had to ensure their group’s safety, and eradicating the threats looming over them was the fastest way to do so!
Even the Vampire had to agree to this. Somehow, he had already accepted that he would die. His mental state was miserable but he was oddly calm. This shocked him more than anyone else.
“I will only answer one question, and I cannot betray my master, so ask something not related to the Mihorl clan.” His voice reached Dilan, who was still somewhat agitated about the foolish mindset of Kuhn. However, upon hearing what the Vampire said, he nodded his head.
“One question is better than nothing.” He shrugged before he thought of something.
“From what I can gauge, Essence crystals and Blood Essences are different. They may look similar but the system divides them clearly. Now let’s get back to my question. Are Blood Essences dangerous to the human body if too many are consumed?” Dilan was all serious when he asked this question.
He had many questions in his mind, such as ‘Do Blood Essences nourish the body’s blood?’ This was an important question, after all, Dilan’s health stat had increased most, meaning that his body became a lot stronger and tougher.
There was also the question ‘Do Werewolves or other human-like races, who have been living on Milarn also have different Essences?’. The Vampire may have some clue about this, and an answer would be great.
After all, it would be quite advantageous for Dilan to collect the Blood Essence and other Essence of beasts. They didn’t seem to be included in the Cursed Blessing [Will of the Primordial].
Dilan predicted that this was a loophole in the system, and he would exploit it as long as he could.
“That…that is your question?” The Vampire was a bit baffled, and his expression changed from fear to surprise. However, Dilan merely nodded his head without saying anything else.
“Well…then, I guess I should answer your question…” He said before taking a deep breath.
“Consuming too many Blood Essences is not harmful to the human body. The use of Blood Essence will just decrease the more Blood Essences of the same quality have been used. But… no, I won’t tell you more. I answered your question.” The Vampire looked deep into Dilan’s eyes.
‘But the Blood Essence with higher quality might be dangerous to the body of certain humans…is that it?’ Dilan tried to complete the sentence the Vampire had started but it was much harder than expected.
He hoped that his guess was right but he couldn’t be sure about it.
“Alright, thank you for the answer. Do you have any last words? If you wish, you can tell me about your regrets, or if you want me to tell someone that they were on your mind before you died, either is fine by me” Dilan replied, while waving his hand to the right. The Blazing Serpentine Blade was ignited, but neither Dilan nor the Vampire paid any heed to this.
“Someone I have on my mind before I die…no, my master never treated us well. He forced us to do unforgivable things…I had to kill my entire family after I was turned…can you imagine how morbidly crushing it is to tear apart your own family with your two hands? And that too just to join a clan you never intended to be a part of. I was forced to become a vampire, forced to join the Mihorl clan, and forced to do even worse than killing my family.
Whether it was before or after the Primordial Ascension, my life was a mess. However, until now, I had never been defeated. It might sound arrogant, or ridiculous to you, but I was a good Assassin in the past. I should have been able to escape Ailee’s attacks, and with my strength, I should have been able to defeat her.
Does that mean I wanted to die, and intentionally jumped into her trap? I don’t know. My only regret is that I will die now. I should have been killed much earlier…
As for my last words…please remember my name, the name I had before I joined the Mihorl family; James Blake….Thank you…now please give me my freedom…” James Blake sounded relieved when he finished speaking.
Dilan showed sympathy toward the Vampire, and as wished for, he ended James Blake’s life. With a single swipe, the Vampire was beheaded.
“I will remember you, James Blake.”
