All the eyes were glued on Dilan that stared at him with various emotions.

At first, they froze in place because they didn’t notice him. But because they didn’t see any weapons in his hands, they relaxed visibly.

It was possible for Dilan to hide his weapons elsewhere but he would have to move his hands rapidly that were held in the air.

The six foreign beings understood that Dilan showed them his empty hands as a sign to tell them that he didn’t want to attack them.

However, this didn’t mean the other side wouldn’t think of attacking him.

This was something Dilan knew which was why he could tell that he was putting himself at great risk.

If they attacked and pursued him, it would become quite problematic.

But rather than being too worried about that, it was more important to find out where the Sun temple came from, what the two foreign races’ mission was, and if they looked at the human race with hostility.

Dilan was ready to enter the pits of hell to figure this out.

‘The worst that can happen is that I’ll feel some pain…and pain is something I lived with my entire life!’

He didn’t fear pain and embraced it if that was necessary to ensure his survival.

Thus, he kept smiling gently as he looked at the six beings, who were speaking with each other in an incomprehensible language.

“Dangarsa kinars limansit!”-.

“Osranto Iuroasd bsadirn?”

“Lasir seirn minasdh!!”

The tension in their group seemed to rise over time and though he did not understand a word, he could notice their body language and their tone which seemed agitated. This attracted Dilan’s attention because he had not expected them to start a discussion due to his arrival.

‘They won’t attack me? Weird… Not even their weapons are pointed at me…Do they think of me as a weakling? Just what is going on?’

Dilan was a little bit confused. He thought that they would either be overly vigilant against him, and point their weapons at him, capture him to interrogate him because he was a human, probably the first one they encountered, or they would kill him at once.

However, at the end, the situation unfolded in the exact opposite way because the foreign beings didn’t drop the Bison corpses to get into a combat stance. In fact, they didn’t bother about him and continued to discuss something.

It was as if Dilan didn’t even exist. This was more than enough for Dilan to be baffled.

Ever since the Primordial Ascension occurred, nobody had been foolish enough to knowingly ignore his existence, and if somebody would have dared so, they would have either died or faced some unfortunate situation.

That was, at least, what monsters and hostile human Survivors would have faced.

Dilan was not sure how much time passed but he didn’t feel like lifting his hands anymore because the human-like beings opposite him didn’t seem to care about that either way.

Yet, the moment Dilan lowered his arms and took a deep breath, six pairs of eyes immediately turned toward him.

“Now you guys finally pay attention to me, really?”

He knew that they couldn’t understand him, which was why Dilan was quite relaxed while speaking his mind. They could only perceive his emotions, facial expressions, and every movement made by him to determine whether he was hostile or not.

The same was the case for Dilan but he was not exactly proficient in determining whether a hawk or lion was friendly or hostile.

At least, he couldn’t tell that solely based on their facial expressions. That was why he sighed once again and felt that it might have been a mistake to approach the six hunters without any prior planning.

In the end, the Lion-men and Hawk-men were simply not sure what to do with Dilan. They had never seen a human after all.

But they knew that there would be other races on the planet. So they were wary of him as they were not sure if Dilan was strong, weak, if he was a spy, worked alone, or in a group.

They had zero information about Dilan, the surrounding area, let alone the planet, and the current survivability of the races living on the large and beautiful planet called Milarn.

Thus, they had been discussing what to do with Dilan; the first human they encountered.

At that moment, Dilan flinched. His ears pricked up and he looked at a location that was less than ten meters away from the six hunters.

His eyes didn’t detect that anything was off at first. However, he felt bloodlust radiating from the location he was staring at. It was then that he spotted some footprints in the snow.

This attracted his attention. Subconsciously he took a step forward and his hand moved to the Penta Item Pouch.

The hilt of the Blazing Serpentine Blade emerged out of the pouch. Dilan grasped it tightly as he was completely oblivious to the reactions of the six hunters, who had their eyes trained on him.

They had noticed that Dilan’s expression had changed, that his body was overflowing with the intent to kill, and that everything else but his designated target had become negligible.

However, what they misunderstood was that they weren’t his designated target. Rather, it was something entirely different, which they hadn’t even noticed until now.

Their eyes were fixated on Dilan’s hand that was tightly grasping the hilt of a weapon, which had emerged from the pouch he was wearing.

Because their entire focus was on Dilan, the six hunters from two foreign races noticed too late that a huge cheetah had suddenly emerged out of nowhere.

From the hunters’ point of view, there was no clue indicating a surprise attack.

However, the moment the one-meter-tall cheetah emerged out of nowhere, and pounced at the closest Lion-men, they felt as if they had frozen on the spot before the cheetah slashed at them.

One of the Lion-men, who was targeted by the cheetah saw his life flashing past his eyes, and could merely think about moving backward as blood spurted through the air.

A moment later, a body fell to the ground with a resounding thud. Yet, contrary to everyone’s belief it was not their comrade, who died, but the cheetah, whose blood painted the snow red.

Instead of attacking the foreign races, Dilan activated [Gale] twice to emerge next to the cheetah.

He had also activated [Thunder Step] to accelerate his movement speed, allowing him to brandish the Blazing Serpentine Blade in a rapid motion.

The Blazing Serpentine Blade was engulfed in blazing flames when it cut through the air and the cheetah’s body, killing it in an instant.

If one didn’t pay close attention to their surroundings, it was impossible to perceive the cheetah that had some sort of [Stealth] ability which was enough to hide its appearance and presence.

Dilan merely noticed the cheetah because its killing intent leaked from its body.

‘Stealth? If it would have been a stronger and more intelligent opponent, who is also capable of hiding its killing intent, I wouldn’t have noticed it at all!’

He was quite surprised about the Stealthy cheetah’s existence. It could be considered one of the apex perpetrators solely from the Stealth ability it seemed to have.

Unfortunately, the cheetah hadn’t been adept at using its stealth, which was why it had been possible for Dilan to kill it.

The six hunters from the foreign races could only look at Dilan with conflicted expressions.

They couldn’t fathom how Dilan had crossed the distance of 20 meters between them, let alone how he brandished the Blazing Serpentine Blade, which had suddenly enlarged to a 20-meter-long replica of a serpent lunging at its opponents.

Only when the stealthy cheetah had been killed did they notice that Dilan was the one, who had rescued them and that he had disappeared from his prior location.

This was when realization dawned upon them and they noticed that Dilan was powerful enough to kill the six of them if he wanted to!

Yet, even before they could attempt to say something, Dilan’s ears pricked up once again. His head turned toward his right and he saw a blue shield emerge in front of his eyes.

Dilan had instinctively activated [Aegis’ shield] because he had sensed danger from his right.

And the moment the glorious-looking blueish shield had emerged on his right, an even larger cheetah pounced at him.

It was the other stealthy cheetah’s partner who had witnessed the death of its partner, enraging the cold-hearted predator.

Thus, instead of attacking the hunters of the foreign races, it had targeted the one and only human around.

But Dilan merely smiled as he noticed the cheetah’s sudden emergence.

“Even if your Stealth is much more proficient than your friend’s, if you cannot suppress your desires, you should definitely not try ambushing someone, whose Agility is much higher than yours!”

Dilan’s eyes gleamed brightly, excited about the fact that he was now facing a new type of opponent, a seemingly perfect assassin.

Unfortunately, slashing the serpent-form of the Blazing Serpentine Blade through the air was more than enough to pierce through the neck of the stealthy cheetah, who had been struggling to break through the Aegis’ shield’s defense!

‘What a waste of a great ability…and it didn’t even drop the ability crystal. What a shame…’
