Undying Warlord

Chapter 284 Unparalleled Tier-1 Defense

After talking for a while with Victoria, Dilan found out a few things that were of interest to him.

First of all, not all Vampires were leeches who would kill hapless humans just because they wanted. They could survive on the blood of animals as well. It would weaken their powers but for many, that wasn’t a problem.

But with the Primordial Ascension, things had changed quite a bit. Vampires were targeted by many beasts, who wanted to become strong as quickly as possible.

If the Essence crystals of humans were considered a very nourishing treat, the Blood Essence of Vampires was comparable to an extravagant five-course meal.

That was why many Vampires began to quench their thirst with the blood of humans. Even those who had never gotten the taste of the blood of humans before the Primordial Ascension needed to be in their prime state. This was the reason they were forced to drink the blood of willing humans.

Likewise, more Vampire servants were born. They were like the Vampire’s walking meals, with the sole difference that their strength increased as well. In exchange for providing their blood, the Vampires had to accelerate the blood regeneration of humans bound to them.

This could be achieved by allowing the Vampire servants to drink a few droplets of the Vampire’s blood whenever they gave their blood to their master as a small reward.

This was quite interesting because it showed that Vampires were just as desperate as humans to become stronger. He was not sure why Victoria told him everything but the pieces of information she provided were extremely helpful.

It allowed him to look at the Vampire Society from a different point of view as well.

However, there was one thing that bothered him a little bit.

“What do you mean when you say that the quality of a human’s blood can change a Vampire’s life forever? And how is my blood ‘Sacred’ for Vampires? I don’t have a rare blood group or anything like that…” Dilan was a bit confused.

His Blood group was A+, so it was not like he had the ‘golden blood’ or anything like that. Nonetheless, Victoria was adamant that his blood was the best and rare delicacy she had ever smelled.

“The higher the quality of the blood we drink, the stronger we can become. Usually, the power of a Vampire increases with his or her lifespan, and with how much they or train.

However, there are also exceptions. Our strength decreases if we quench our thirst with the blood of animals. Even the blood of monsters does little good.

Only with the blood of humans can we maintain 100% of our power. Yet, your blood will allow us to break through the threshold of 100%, which I’m pretty sure about,” Victoria didn’t seem to lie to him.

She looked deep into his eyes and kept switching between looking seriously and smiling at him in a foolish manner.

Dilan was still not sure what Victoria was planning but it didn’t look like she had any bad intentions. She revealed far more information to him than Clerens, whose actions turned out to be more suspicious than Dilan first thought.

‘If Victoria is not lying to me, you need the blood of a royal Vampire to enter the Inner Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord. You can also exchange the blood of a royal Vampire with the blood of a noble Vampire that has been mixed with the Sacred blood of a human. Would Clerens ever tell me about this, or would he prefer to keep mum?

I guess he would try to kill me to get what he wants,’ Dilan smiled lightly at this thought.

There was also a third way to enter the Inner Sanctum. It was to use the blood belonging to the Old Vampire Lord’s bloodline.

Victoria Helar could enter the Inner Sanctum without an issue. This was why Dilan got an idea.

“You want to enter your old man’s Sanctum, right?” Dilan asked, his smile clearly showing that he was up to no good.

However, instead of taking this as a sign to act more hesitant, Victoria returned the same smile and nodded her head.

“Alright, then how about you come with us? I doubt you have anywhere to go either way. Your tendencies are more or less gravitating towards the path of a psychopath, to be honest,” Dilan asked simply, only to receive many raised eyebrows from the people around him.

“Calling a beautiful lady psychopath…your social skills are really… forget it…” Ailee was already not good at socializing with others but from the looks of it, Dilan was the worst at talking to women.

He didn’t show any empathy, and it was as if he had to be absolutely blunt while stating what was on his mind, whether it was praise or an indirect insult.

Calling someone a psychopath was definitely not a compliment. Everyone could tell that, which was why Williams and the rest looked at Dilan as if they couldn’t believe how stupid their leader was.

Yet, oddly enough, Victoria’s cheeks turned red and her expression turned wild. Her eyes were overflowing with lust all of a sudden, stupifying everyone around, including Dilan.

“Y-you want me to come with you guys?” She asked, her voice sounding as if she was extremely shy. But contrary to the sound of her voice, her expression and movements indicated that she was everything but shy.

“You cannot take that back anymore! You will have to kill me if you want to get rid of me!!” She squealed like a little girl while clasping her hands. Victoria was celebrating without realizing that everyone’s attention turned to her.

“Maybe Dilan is right…she might have hit her head somewhere…” Kuhn suddenly remarked, accepting what his boss said before.

“She is definitely not normal…” Oliver agreed. Meanwhile, Dilan sighed deeply.

“Well, that reaction is definitely not something I expected from her as well. Killing her to get rid of her…” Dilan said while looking at Victoria with complex emotions.

He felt like he should just keep sighing. The fight against the Blood Legion had ended rather weirdly, and it looked like they had gained a new member in their group…a Vampire at that.

This was definitely not something he had expected to happen. If Dilan were to be honest, Victoria’s appearance in his group would be quite troublesome.

There were a bunch of Ascenders in his group, who could barely control their emotions and instincts.

As Ascenders, this was quite difficult because their emotions were much more intenser than it was the case with ordinary humans.

With a beautiful woman like Victoria around them, many Ascenders would do something stupid, even if they didn’t want to.

Victoria’s natural charm was simply too powerful, and one of the strongest traits of the Vampire race.

“For now you are on your trial period. I won’t accept you in our group if you do something stupid, or if you cannot conceal your charm. I don’t want to endanger my Ascenders just to accept you in my group,” Dilan stated his conditions in a serious tone while his eyes were fixated on Victoria.

She stared back at him, her smile widened and she nodded her head.

“Now to celebrate that I can join you…how about I get to bite you, darling~?” Victoria asked, disappearing from everybody’s sight. She appeared right next to Dilan and lifted one of her hands to gently hold his neck, while her head tilted.

She could clearly smell the blood that was running through his vein as her head was less than five centimeters away from Dilan’s neck.

“If you cannot control your urges, you will face the same punishment as humans, who try to **** or violate others,” Dilan informed before turning his head toward Victoria.

Her eyes were glowing crimson, and her fangs had already grown out as well. She was ready to let herself lose in the desire of quenching her thirst with Dilan’s blood.

However, Dilan’s words and his actions calmed her, which was an anomaly.

‘I didn’t drink anything for weeks, so how can he still calm my desires?’ Victoria wondered, her expressions clearly showing her shock.

It didn’t take Dilan much strength to push Victoria away. She didn’t show any signs of resistance. In fact, her expression confused Dilan, only for him to hear a thunderous grumbling.

‘She hasn’t fed herself in a long time, huh?’ Dilan thought before he took out the CrimsonClaw dagger to cut his finger a bit.

Yet, the moment he tried using the dagger, Dilan noticed in shock that it was not sharp enough to scratch him, at all.

‘Looks like my Stone Skin finally showed how exceptional it is…’
