Undying Warlord Chapter 382 Calm before the Storm

Chapter 382 Calm before the Storm

382 Calm before the Storm
"I clearly understand…almost nothing," Dilan grumbled as he was reading through the messages of the Divinity Mission Board chat.
The messages he focused on the most while searching for a way to remove the Curse of a Cursed Blessing came from a bunch of people that seemed to belong to one big group of knowledgeable Ascenders.
At least that was what Dilan believed when reading through all the messages and the way they conversed with each other with some familiarity.
Their comments were highly insightful, even if some complex terms were pretty hard to understand and Dilan ended up spending lots of time trying to figure out their meaning.
By the time the debate finished with a few hundred messages, his question about the Hyel Destructo had already caused a small uproar.
It was the second time he wrote a message and his second question. However, the content of his question had been completely different than it was the first time.
Most people were oblivious that Dilan was the one, who had caused an uproar not once but twice by asking questions that were not important, either way.
"So it is either a legendary Armor set or just a fairytale?" Dilan wondered out loud, smiling at the messages that had popped up in the chat.
He didn't receive any useful information because it looked like nobody knew the Hyel Destructo armor set's details.
[So nobody knows its stats? Does it have any restrictions for users such as the race or so?] Dilan simply asked in the chat while being glad that the Divinity Mission Board's chat had a translation setting.
Otherwise, he would face more problems getting to know further information about anything written in the chat.
Dilan didn't say that he could get his hands on the Hyel Destructo armor set but his questions allowed others to reach their own conclusions.
He was aware of this but it was not as if he could be bothered about it. There were some things that were more important than trying to stay fully anonymous in front of some Ascenders, whom he would probably never meet, to begin with.
Dilan wanted to receive an answer and he was willing to sacrifice some of his anonymous status if that was necessary to obtain an answer.
Unfortunately, not many knowledgeable Ascenders seemed to be active in the Divinity Mission Board chat anymore.
That was also why Dilan turned away his attention to the abandoned island. It was not long until the sun would disappear behind the horizon.
The second Night invasion would happen by then, indicating the period of the day where one would usually have to fear getting killed by the horde of marine monsters crawling out of the ocean.
But not Dilan. He was not afraid of the second Night invasion and on the contrary, he looked forward to it. Dilan was ready to go all-out, using the temporary treasure upgrades to make sure that his stats would be high, and the temporary indestructible body to strengthen his physique as high as possible!
He had already bought all kinds of enhancements and just had to click on a tiny symbol to activate all of them at once. That way, he wouldn't have to waste his time searching for the upgrades in the Essence Shop when he needed them.
Nonetheless, he was still searching through the chat, trying to find a few more interesting items to purchase.
There was a lot that could be used by Dilan but it was not worth the Essence Points because the items' usage would decrease the moment he advanced a bit, or he couldn't use the items at all until reaching Tier-3 or so.
Time passed quickly and it was night when Dilan closed the holographic screen of the Essence Shop.
He felt a weak pulling force from the center of the abandoned island, which was different from the day before. He hadn't sensed anything the day before and Dilan quickly noticed the reason for this.
"More and stronger monsters will now come out of the Ocean…" Dilan mumbled as he looked at the massive numbers of monsters all around the beachside.
Four humongous Sea Serpents like the one he had killed had shot out of the ocean and they were all slithering in the direction of the island's center. Dilan squinted his eyes at this sight just to see that there were levitating Seahorses the size of a car, various types of fishes that were adept at manifesting water below them to make it seem as if they could swim over the ground, and various other monsters.
There were even a dozen or more Flood Dragons, which astonished Dilan quite a bit.
"Aren't Flood Dragons supposed to be rare existences because they belong to the dragon family?" He mumbled in confusion, looking at the situation ahead of him.
However, instead of disliking the situation, Dilan licked his lip in excitement. Fighting multiple Sea Serpents would be difficult but as long as Dilan would make use of his stats and the opportunities given to him, he may as well be able to kill them much more easily than just a single monster.
The Death and destruction that the humongous Tier-4 existences could cause were bound to kill tens of thousands of monsters the moment they bulldozed all the monsters around them.
Dilan imagined the Sea Serpent flattening everything in its wake and a bright smile appeared on his face. He activated all the things he had prepared from the Essence Shop before starting the massacre he had been waiting for.
[Temporary Indestructible body has been activated. The host's body will be temporarily enhanced to the Peak of Tier-2.]
[The passive occupational ability has been detected. The host's physique will temporarily be augmented to become Unparalleled in the Realms of a Tier-2 existence! Duration: 60 Minutes!]
[Temporary Treasure Upgrade has been applied to the Boots of Yamil, The Aquatic Gloves of Heretia, the Necklace of Replication, The Ring of Ice, and the Ilran Chestplate!]
[Temporary second Treasure Upgrade has been applied to the upgraded Boots of Yamil, The Aquatic Gloves of Heretia, the Necklace of Replication, The Ring of Ice, and the Ilran Chestplate!]
[Temporary third Treasure Upgrade has been applied to the (2x) upgraded Boots of Yamil]
[Customized Temporary Weapon Upgrade has been applied to the Cursed Dagger Xealtron!]
[Blood Sacrifice has been activated, Lifeforce equivalent to 100 Units Health have been deducted]
Dilan activated only [Thunder Step] using close to 50 Units of Mana before he activated [Bearer of Pain] replenishing all the mana in exchange for his Lifeforce being drained.
Afterward, [Bracing Pain] increased his stats wide above 400 Units, allowing Dilan to properly wield Xealtron and to gain the Cursed Weapon stat augmentations!
Dilan's Agility crossed 800 in an instant, while his Strength was still close to 650 Units. However, that was of no concern to Dilan. He didn't intend to use [Switch] right off the bat. After all, the night was still long and it was necessary for him to be capable of using one or two trump cards to escape certain tricky situations.
However, for now, Dilan would have to find a way to properly enrage the huge Sea Serpents, hopefully, to rile them against each other instead of attacking him.
The death and destruction they would cause were bound to become a sight to behold and Dilan eagerly awaited the same!
