As he stood in front of the corporate building, Dilan couldn’t help but smile faintly.
It was broad daylight but he figured that nobody was inside.
But that didn’t hold him back from entering the building all alone.
“Isn’t it foolish to leave their ho without leaving anyone behind to safeguard it?” Dilan wondered.
However, it was just a mont later that he sensed sothing that attracted his interest.
He perceived denser mana fluctuations from different directions within the building, and a knowing smile that was filled with excitent erged on his face.
“So it wasn’t abandoned, but you guys are just good at hiding?”
The mont, Dilan said this he activated [Thunder step].
He catapulted his entire body in a specific direction, while a thunderous sound erged from within his body.
Shortly after, faint currents of electricity erged from his body as well but that was not sothing that attracted much attention.
Rather, it was the fact that Dilan shot through the length of the room in a single second like a flash while simultaneously slashing out rcilessly.-.
At that mont, the outlines of a human erged from the dark corner Dilan had slashed at.
A face filled with fright appeared right in front of him but Dilan wasn’t too inclined to shower others with rcy.
He could clearly sense that sothing was wrong with this opponent. It made him feel a deep sense of disgust erging from the deepest parts of his body.
Thus, he couldn’t show any signs of weakness.
To Dilan’s misfortune, the Ascender he attacked was able to use his active ability a re fraction of a second before the Gray Slayer slid past the spot he had been standing.
[Shadow traveling]!
The Ascender had to use up more than 10 Units of mana to unleash the full potential of his active ability [Shadow traveling]
However, this was more than enough for him to evade Dilan’s terrifying fast attack.
Dilan only watched his opponent turn into a shadow before rging with the darkness from the corner of a room.
He was supposed to be astonished, but this elent of surprise was not exactly sothing that caught him off-guard.
Rather, Dilan’s excitent increased even further as he began circulating mana through his body.
This invigorated his body and cald his mind without actually using up a single Unit of Mana.
Using the corner of the room to his advantage, Dilan pushed his feet off the wall to propel himself forward.
This allowed him to keep accelerating his speed as he targeted the area where a new source of mana had appeared all of a sudden.
One could say that Ascenders could be considered as sources of mana. After all, they could make use of mana, generate it on so occasions, and could exert it for all kinds of things.
Recalling that detail, he could easily find the Ascenders, who were in a certain range of his perception.
This range of perception was extrely small and wouldn’t be of use in normal circumstances.
However, the traces of the path [Shadow traveling] left behind were within his range.
Due to this, Dilan knew where he had to head to in order to face the first opponent.
He erged in front of his opponent the instant he pushed his feet off the wall. This astonished the middle-aged man, whose eyes widened in terror.
From the mont Dilan had stepped into the room, each of the four Ascenders had realized that the following few minutes were bound to beco a ss.
Dilan’s presence alone was enough to tell them that he was a terrifying existence they would not be able to handle.
So far, only lanie and Pyro had been terrifying in terms of their presence. And, this was more than enough reason for them to hide as well as possible.
At first, they wanted to initiate a surprise attack, but the four Ascenders that were supposed to safeguard the gang’s ho grew petrified when they perceived Dilan’s speed.
They were able to see his outlines but had a hard ti keeping track of his movents because he was blindingly fast.
Thus, the three Ascenders, who were still hiding, could only watch in horror when the strongest of them was cleanly sliced into two parts a second after the monster of a human appeared in the room.
In the beginning, Dilan had planned to talk it out with so people, and figure out what exactly they were planning.
But there was sothing about the Ascender that made Dilan loathe him without even knowing him.
It was just a feeling, but from what he sensed, the Ascender he had just slashed at was certainly soone, who had murdered innocent people!
He was not sure where this sensation originated from, but the mont he erged in front of the man, goosebumps erupted on his skin.
That was why he had to be killed at once, which Dilan turned into reality without hesitation.
Dilan had yet to figure out if he would feel the sa disgusting feeling around the other Ascenders, but he was pretty sure that this was the case.
There was still more than enough ti left until the [Thunder Step] ability would wear of.
With that in mind, Dilan shot toward the other corner of the room and erged next to the second Ascender, just to feel the exact sa sensation as before.
‘Just what is this?’ He wondered. However, this ti Dilan didn’t kill his opponent. Instead, he rely twisted the Gray Slayer to bash the Ascender with its flat side.
This was more than enough to knock out the Ascender.
In less than five seconds, Dilan had knocked out others as well.
‘They’re the sa?!’
Dilan was confused and he couldn’t help but feel like killing them in an instant.
That was how disgusting he felt while breathing in the sa air as the three Ascenders around him.
Unfortunately, he had to figure out what that disgusting feeling was, and its source.
Dilan had a faint idea but he didn’t like the thoughts that were cropping up in his mind.
As such, he could only frown deeply.
“They killed innocent people and used their Essence crystals, didn’t they?” Dilan could only mumble before frowning deeply.
His theory would clearly explain why Pyro was so confident in promising his people to reach Tier-1 so quickly, and easily.
The stats of the Ascenders Dilan fought had been around 15. This was far from enough to overco his Agility of around 55 Units after [Thunder Step] was activated.
Nonetheless, 15 Units were far more than any of Dilan’s team mbers.
Even after advancing to Tier-1 not many in his group would reach such high stats at once.
Those who were able to accomplish this were the few with his ranked occupations.
And Dilan was certain that the four Ascenders, who were supposed to safeguard the Death Beatles gang’s ho, hadn’t advanced by choosing a powerful occupation.
Rather, he presud that they must have chosen a Common, or at most, Rare occupation to advance to Tier-1
“So it’s true, after all?”
