“What a monster…” Oliver could barely say after he had regained control over his body. He looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and goosebumps appeared on his body.

“Yeah, Dilan is really a monster…just how did he get so strong.” Ailee agreed, misunderstanding Oliver’s comment. She thought that he was speaking about Dilan and not the EmeraldClaw Bear.

Oliver turned his head in her direction, only to see that Ailee was looking at him as well. She had a weird smile on her face and her hands were trembling in excitement.

It was only at this moment when Oliver noticed that his hands were trembling as well.

Both knew that the daggers Dilan had used were much sharper than the Blazing Serpentine Blade. That was also the reason for him to use the daggers that neither Oliver nor Ailee had ever seen.

However, while Ailee was not that interested in the crimson daggers, Oliver had the exact opposite opinion.

“Dilan, do you have some more of these crimson daggers?! Their sharpness is exceptional. Aren’t they even better than Silver Tier-1 weapons, or Bronze Tier-1 weapons?!”

After overcoming his initial dumbfounding about Dilan’s unique fighting style, and the way he had locked the EmeraldClaw Bear in place, he approached his leader with gleaming eyes.

Dilan just smiled in return as cold sweat trickled down his temples.

He threw the set of daggers to Oliver, just to see that the young man evaded them, not daring to catch them..

In return, Dilan’s smile widened as he picked up the third crimson dagger that lay a few meters from the EmeraldClaw Bear’s corpse.

‘I coated it with mana to dull the blade, but I guess Oliver is still afraid to be cut by it.’ Dilan assumed before averting his attention to the corpse of the EmeraldClaw Bear.

He collected its Gold Essence crystal that had faint platinum-colored strands in it. Afterward, the corpse was tightly stored in his storage ring while the Essence crystal crumbled in his hand.

Dilan was more than satisfied with the status points he had gained from the EmeraldClaw Bear. A monster seven levels higher than him and with a high-quality Essence crystal was worth more than dozens of low-level and low-quality Essence crystals.

He felt invigorated due to the Essence of the Rumia EmeraldClaw bear and looked at Oliver for a moment.

“If you want a weapon that boosts your stats, or one with a special characteristic, the CrimsonClaw Daggers are definitely the wrong choice. But they should be sharp enough to pierce through the hide of the strongest Tier-1 monsters. Well, you can exclude monsters at Tier-1 with an ‘unparalleled’ defense.

There might be a handful of monsters strong enough to block your attacks.”

Dilan didn’t want Oliver to be arrogant while using the CrimsonClaw Daggers. A powerful weapon was a great treasure to a strong combatant. However, to make proper use of a powerful weapon, you would have to be able to injure your opponents first.

Oliver shouldn’t rely a lot on the CrimsonClaw Daggers, but keep his attention on how to progress and figure out what it needed for him to become stronger, improve his combat prowess and work on his flaws.

Ailee didn’t ask for anything, but her gaze had been drawn to the EmeraldClaw Bear’s claws when the corpse had yet to be stored by Dilan.

“You can use a few claws to make arrow tips,” Dilan said, understanding what Ailee wanted, and added in a slightly teasing tone, “But don’t lose the arrows afterward.”

Ailee was quite happy when she heard that it was possible for her to get some better arrows. Her arrows weren’t the best, and they sometimes split apart upon impacting on her opponent’s hide.

This was quite annoying, and it was one of the reasons for Ailee to prefer using her ability [Wind arrow] over the few good arrows she actually possessed.

“That’s great. By the way, can we continue to hunt? Now that we’re already out with you, it would be best if we can go all-out and become stronger in a short amount of time.” Ailee suddenly asked before she continued to speak,

“We don’t know when, or rather if the Blue Star camp’s military camp will come back, and how many powerful Ascenders they will bring with them…”

Ailee didn’t blame Dilan for what he did. Rather, she worshiped him for being fair and impartial to everyone who broke his rules.

Rapists and traitors should be killed in her opinion as well, which was why she supported the decisions he had taken in the past more than anyone else.

While even Kathrine or Yvonne had been unsure about his decisions once or twice, especially when he invited the Shepherds gang into his group, Ailee never doubted Dilan’s choice.

This was something not many could say about themselves.

Even Dilan could tell that Ailee was never disloyal to him.

It astonished him as well, but from the moment she had approached him in the cafeteria of the Rian mountainside hospital, Ailee never did anything against him.

On the contrary, she had always been on his side, trying to protect him from dangers, when he was not capable of safeguarding himself.

‘I never really even realized that.’ It was as if he received enlightenment all of a sudden.

For Dilan, the realization didn’t actually change much. His opinion of Ailee was still the same, and he would nurture her as per his initial plans, just like the rest of the group.

As for Oliver, he needed some nourishment as well, but that was something he could create on his own. Dilan could not be sure about this but as long as Ailee became stronger than Oliver, he would work his ass off to reach a higher threshold than her.

In the end, it was obvious that Oliver liked Ailee, and Dilan was pretty sure that Ailee knew about this as well. Their age difference was only a few years, and Ailee adored Oliver as well.

Though Dilan was just not sure how exactly Ailee felt. It was hard to see through her.

But her feelings were not exactly important for Dilan’s reasoning to allow Oliver to grow on his own.

It would make him stronger than listening to someone else’s teachings about combat techniques, and other specific topics.

Oliver would also try to learn things on his own. He would accomplish more by using his brain to figure out things all by himself, and so on.

“Alright, let’s continue to hunt monsters in the Mountain Ring of the Elements. Let’s focus on procuring three to four Essence crystals of new monster types for each of us before we store the remaining Essence Crystals.” Dilan suggested the plan of action before he dashed out all of a sudden.

He blasted in a specific direction, and the Blazing Serpentine Blade manifested in his hand, just when he waved his hand in a rapid manner.

The Blazing Serpentine Blade enlarged and shot out, cutting through the bushes right in front of him.

All of a sudden, blood, body parts, twigs, and leaves splattered through the air. Painful screams echoed from behind the bushes, and Dilan had to slash out a second time before the screams died down.

They were replaced by an eerie silence as Ailee and Oliver looked at Dilan with baffled expressions.

“Truly a monster…I don’t know what else to call him…” Oliver mumbled while staring at Dilan with a wide open mouth, not sure what to think about their leader.

“He is a monster in human skin. But he is a very good monster…” Ailee corrected him, feeling that it was necessary to add the term ‘good monster’, which caused Oliver to smile dryly.

‘There is no need to praise him for that. A monster is still a monster. If he goes on a rampage, all of us might die.’ Oliver thought inwardly.

However, even if he thought like this, he could tell that Ailee was completely right. And this time, both were of the same opinion, that Dilan was the monster both were talking about!
