“That cannot be… how?…Why?…why now???” The same female Soldier, who had spoken to Dilan before shouted incoherently. Her eyes turned watery and were full of fright at the sight of the terror toward her left.

‘That feels like a Deja-vú…’ Dilan thought the moment he spotted a bunch of humans running in the direction of the Blue Star camp, followed by thousands of monsters chasing them.

The humans were Tier-1 Ascenders, quite powerful ones, at that.

However, it was quite obvious that they were not on the same side as the people of the Blue Star camp.

“So those are the bloodthirsty Ascenders you guys talked about earlier? Their strength is really not that bad. But to think that they want to torture the Blue star camp members by letting loose a tide of monsters… looks like they have a weird kink.”

Dilan’s voice was calm despite the danger that unfolded right in front of him. There were numerous powerful monsters of varying sizes; skinny, chubby, tall, and small.

There were even socializing races like Kobolds, Gnomes, and Lamia in the tide of monsters that were pursuing the bloodthirsty Ascenders, who were smiling in a way that caused even the Ascenders with the strongest willpower to feel chills running down their spine.

Meanwhile, Dilan just observed them intently as his eyes gleamed with interest.

“Prey and predator are right next to each other, but they are ignoring their existence and pursuing the human Ascender, why is that the case?”

Even if humans were a great resource to become stronger, most monsters had an inbuilt mechanism to hunt their prey first. As such, they weren’t supposed to possess enough intelligence to suppress their wild instincts. This was not supposed to be the case, not in such a large-scale of monsters gathering together.-ɴ(0ᴠᴇ)ʟ.

‘They are simply pursuing the human Ascenders…are they in possession of a bait or something that makes all monsters obsessed with catching them, and making them forget that they ought to be the nemesis of the monsters they are running alongside?’

Dilan squinted his eyes while trying to process more information from the distance.

However, there was not much more for him to figure out about the tide of monsters. It was obvious that the bloodthirsty Ascenders did something to lure the monsters to follow them, and it looked like they wanted to turn the entire Blue Star camp upside down.

The situation looked quite severe, and it didn’t get much better when Dilan turned his head to the Blue Star camp, where close to 200 Tier-1 Ascenders had emerged from the military base.

All of them seemed quite powerful, but they were nothing in comparison to the strength Yvonne, Kathrine, Oliver, and Ailee had attained in the last few days.

‘Maybe their strength is comparable to my older Tier-1 Ascenders with [Rare] occupations?’ He thought, clearly understanding that each of the 200 Ascenders was merely able to defeat a Silver Tier-1 monster on their own. And even that was already a generous deduction from Dilan.

The Tier-1 monsters in the tide didn’t seem to have a high level, not many, at least.

“If that’s the entire strength your Blue Star camp has left, it will be turned into nothing but piles of scrap in the next half an hour.” Dilan opined in a rather blunt tone, not intending to hide what he thought.

The Soldiers around him grit their teeth. At this moment, they hated Dilan to the core because he was a stranger who had no rights to judge them and their strength.

It was fine if he didn’t encourage them, or didn’t give them any hope. However, his words were simply brutal.

Everyone could tell that Dilan was extremely powerful. Even after he concealed his presence, and slowed down his speed, he exuded a calm that made the soldiers stare at him in amazement. Every single move of his was smooth, there were no lines of frustration on his forehead despite the encroaching threat such as the tide of monsters.

They had seen how fast Dilan had been before and knew that he could change the tide of the battle that had yet to even begin, but the problem was that Dilan was also aware of his presence on the battlefield, more than anyone else!

‘Where are their strong forces? I doubt Felia bluffed when she spoke about the Blue Star camp’s strength. They shouldn’t have died when the bloodthirsty Ascenders attacked, not all of them!

Dilan was waiting for the really important people to appear. He wanted to see their strength, nothing else.

There was no need for him to intervene, in his opinion, after all.

‘Reveal your strength, guys!! Don’t let your people die.’ He thought, and it was mere seconds later that he perceived some movement from within the military base.

A two-meter tall man, whose bulky chest was revealed for everyone to see, entered Dilan’s view.

The tall man was followed by five Ascenders all of whom were extremely powerful.

This group of 6 Ascenders attracted Dilan’s attention. However, they were not the entire Elite force of the Blue Star camp.

On the contrary, they were merely a portion of the strongest Ascenders within the Blue Star camp.

Two small groups of eight and five people emerged from other exits of the military base, similarly attracting Dilan’s attention.

“The female Archer, the bulky and half-naked man, and the skinny man, who is in control of the Wolf, are the leaders of the Blue Star camp, I presume?” Dilan asked quietly without turning his head in the direction of the soldiers, who had yet to move a muscle.

Dilan and the soldiers around him were the closest to the tide of monsters, so there was no need for the soldiers to rush at the monsters. They would come for them before they would reach the camp.

“Sheriff Jenny, Mayor Clerens, and Hunter Jared are our leaders, yes. Their strength is unparalleled and only because of their help could we survive the attack of the bloodthirsty Ascenders.

.ᴄOᴍ They were strong enough to kill many bloodthirsty Ascenders, and to push back the rest!” The young woman sounded extremely prideful while speaking about the three leaders.

It was almost as if she fought back the bloodthirsty Ascenders, and as if it had been her achievement, and not of the three leaders.

Dilan refrained from commenting on that and simply nodded his head. The constellation of the three leader’s occupations was quite interesting.

It was not necessary to be a genius to understand what kind of occupation they had chosen while advancing to Tier-1, after all.

“Ranger, Pugilist, and Tamer, not a bad combination. I just don’t see anyone, who might be responsible to heal, or support everyone.

I guess the Blue Star camp focuses on direct combat instead of creating a balanced group?” Dilan mumbled.

He did not intend to talk bad about the Blue Star camp, and couldn’t care less whether the Blue Star camp’s soldiers stood around him or not.

However, he and his people had also noticed that focusing on a few occupations might not be the best way to create a properly working group.

As long as they were able to overpower their opponents, there was no need for any Ascenders with healing or supporting abilities.

But the ‘ordinary’ Tier-1 Ascenders in Dilan’s group, who didn’t have an overwhelming talent in combat despite having advanced by choosing rare graded occupations, were currently working on creating a combination of occupations to use so that even six Tier-1 Ascenders with [Rare] occupations and an average inborn combat talent could defeat groups of Silver Tier-1 monsters.

As long as they improved their teamwork, it shouldn’t be impossible for them to defeat Gold Tier-1 monsters provided they weren’t as dangerous as the Clawed Bears in the Gate that led to the Mountain Ring of the Elements.

‘This son of a bitch!! How dare he insult us, our entire camp, and now even our leaders! He is so arrogant…I want to beat him into a pulp!!’ That and other similar thoughts flashed through the minds of the soldiers around Dilan.

They didn’t fear him anymore because they could tell that he wouldn’t kill them. After all, he could have already done so if he wanted to.

However, not fearing Dilan didn’t mean that they would let go of a chance to beat him up thoroughly.

But that was just what some of them thought because their strength was obviously not high enough to go up against Dilan.

“Now show me something great. Don’t disappoint me, little camp leaders!” Dilan said in a mocking tone while continuing to provoke the soldiers around him.

He found it funny though most believed that he was a pain in the ass.

‘Fight, fight with your life on the line!!!’
