"Shut up, or you'll die even before the enemies attack!" The skinny Ascender called Jival hissed at the bulky man, whose head started to turn blue.
Dilan lifted his eyebrow when he saw that a bunch of six men behind Jival started to laugh while four Ascenders on the side of the bulky men were trying to help their boss out of the tricky situation.
'I think I remember him…maybe?' Dilan wondered as he looked at the side of the bulky man. He made a simple motion in which he unsheathed Xealtron that was covered in bits of mana before he released a Mana Slash created with one unit of Mana and sheathed Xealtron once again.
The thread that was about to kill the bulky man had been cut through, allowing him to breathe once again.
"Who the hell are you? Are you some sort of cosplayer? Just why would you appear here looking like…this?!" Jival shouted at Dilan while his subordinates began to laugh heartily. They acted as if they were Jival's dogs but that didn't really matter to Dilan.
"My question is the same…who the hell are you?" Dilan smiled nonchalantly at Jival as he returned the same question.
The skinny Ascender squinted his eyes and he looked deep into the eyes of Dilan before his head started to turn red.
"How could there be anyone in this group, who doesn't know my name?! I'm Jival, the Great! I am THE leader of the Undying Group!!" Jival declared as he lifted both arms into the air while his dogs began to roar.
"Our Savior!!"
"Jival is the greatest!!"
"MASTERRR!!"
Dilan lifted an eyebrow while looking at the ridiculous situation that had unfolded itself in front of him and his smile began to widen.
"At least you seem to know the real name," He scoffed before he continued to speak in the same calm tone, "But are you really sure that you are the leader of the Undying Group? Don't you know that the leader of the Undying Group forbids raping and that he would behead all those who broke his rules?"
Oddly enough, Dilan was not really fazed when he heard from Jival that the skinny Ascender thought of himself as the 'leader of the Undying group'. It was obvious that Jival was an imposter but Dilan found this funnier than angering, which was quite odd.
"You fool! I stand above all rules and the same goes for my most loyal followers!!" Jival shouted at the top of his lungs while getting oddly irritated due to the calm posture of the young man in front of him.
Jival was in his late 20s, and he could tell that Dilan was much younger than him. However, there was not the slightest bit of discomfort, fear, or any emotion in the expression of the young man.
At this moment, the bulky middle-aged man had stopped coughing. He looked up at Dilan and jumped up from the chair he had been seated in.
"Dilan?! You finally returned!!" The bulky man shouted, recognizing Dilan the moment he saw him.
Dilan smiled at the bulky man in return and he replied, "I didn't plan to return because I thought that the base in Shiron was rather safe and without trouble, but it looks like some idiots entered the base thinking that they could become the new rulers of the Undying group.
But, to be honest, it's downright amusing and cute for anyone to believe that they can replace me!"
His expression was still as calm as before when he unveiled one more important piece of information after another. One would have to be extremely stupid or the densest person all over the Shikan plains not to understand what was going on.
Yet, Jival was exactly one of those...a brick head.
"Dilan…where did I hear this name before…Dilan…wait…DILAN?!" The skinny Ascender shouted in surprise when he finally recognized the name and his head flicked in Dilan's direction, fiery anger spreading through his eyes.
"Why would you be angry at me, you fucking dumbass idiot? Who allowed you to go around and **** women in the belief that you were actually allowed to do something as shitty and stupid as violating women?!" Dilan's composure changed all of a sudden and he took a step forward before he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
However, he didn't activate his boot's ability. Dilan had just moved too quickly for anyone in the room to keep up with his movements with their bare eyes.
Dilan's hand lunged out and he tightly grasped the neck of the skinny Ascender, who had been cocky enough to impose on him.
"Wh-what does it matter to you? You kill others just because you want to…I just **** them!" Jival screamed while he felt his windpipe getting choked and his breath was slowly taken away as Dilan lifted him into the air.
Dilan's eyes had turned ice-cold and it looked like he would kill Jival at any moment.
"In this era, you kill due to the necessity to become stronger, not to satiate your carnal desires, you piece of shit!" Dilan gritted his teeth as he began to squeeze the hand that was tightly holding Jival's neck.
"If you cannot attract any women despite being as powerful as you are, you're just a miserable loser. There are more than enough women, who would do everything to become your partner as Tier-2 Ascenders, yet, you're under the impression that you are free to create trouble by raping all kinds of women.
You are just a disgusting piece of shit, and dead!" Dilan declared as he moved quickly to hurl Jival against the next closest wall.
He used all the strength in his body to smash Jival straight into the wall before he unsheathed Xealtron while activating [Mantle of Elements].
Two Basic Lightning Spirits and a Basic Fire Spirit emerged above the Cursed Dagger before they fused with Xealtron, mantling it with all their might.
Pointing Xealtron toward the writhing body of Jival, who had burst through the wall like a sack of rice, Dilan released a blast created out of the power of the three Elemental Spirits.
Dilan learned a lot while using and upgrading [Mantle of Elements]. That was also why the semi-passive ability advanced so quickly and why he obtained such great control over it.
A blast manifested out of lightning currents and blazing fire was shot straight into Jival's chest and it began to burn through him.
Dilan hadn't used much mana to create the blast because he didn't feel like killing his imposter so easily.
As for Jival's dogs, Dilan couldn't care less about them. They had been baffled for a moment and wanted to attack him but Dilan had already thought of a way to finish them off.
He created a single Mana Slash, cut lightly in the direction of the six human Ascenders, and beheaded them in an instant.
"You might as well start telling me about everyone, who believed that it was fine to do stupid shit in the Undying group…maybe I will spare you from more pain…probably not though!" Dilan said sarcastically as he grabbed Jival by his collar to look at the miserable young man.
"You really are a disgrace to the entire human race…" He mumbled, only to feel that something was odd.
Dilan threw aside Jival and he looked to his left.
"What is that?" He asked, just for two notifications to appear right in front of Dilan.
[Paralyzation domain Mantra has been activated. Beings below Tier-4 will be paralyzed and unable to move during the next five minutes!]
