The Sisters were excited when Dilan took so of the Silveria Sand out from his storage ring.
They looked at it as if it was a huge treasure, despite it being a common type of sand found in the Temporary Gate.
However, not long after Dilan had erged out of the Gate, it began to dissolve. The excessive mana currents were released and it was not possible to enter or erge from the Gate anymore.
Only the final batch of monsters that erged from the temporary Gate was an indicator that the Gate would cease to exist soon.
There had been quite a few powerful monsters that had erged from the temporary Gate before it closed, but Dilan, Kathrine, and Yvonne swiftly finished them off without facing any issues.
Dilan inflicted cuts on all monsters while killing two right off the bat to allow Yvonne to control them using her Origin ability [Angel of Death].
After Yvonne gained control over the two corpses, she joined the fight actively as well, while using the corpses as shields.
On the other hand, Kathrine was in the middle of the fight, her body shrouded in electricity currents. The monsters they fought were high-leveled Bronze and Silver Tier-1 monsters.
They were far stronger than the first batch of monsters, who had erged from the temporary Gate before.
However, even they were defeated quite quickly..
Dilan was still bleeding as if he was a pig that had just been cut open.
But he didn’t think that this was a problem. Thus, they left the street on the outskirts of Shiron to return to the base.
They didn’t rush things and spoke about several things on their way back.
This included topics such as the infrastructure of the base, how to defend it if evil human Ascenders or tides of monsters were to attack the base, properly managing and guiding the group of survivors, and so on.
There was quite a lot to pay attention to, but Dilan had no idea what to do and how to handle those things.
He was glad to have the others by his side because it would be impossible to lead a group otherwise.
In fact, without the others, Dilan would have never considered leading a group. He would just focus on himself, use weapons for exchanging Essence crystals and survive all by himself.
It was not impossible to survive alone, and Dilan presud that many things would be much easier for him if he would be on his own.
But the reality was different, which was why he had to learn a lot about managing a group, how to ensure his people stayed motivated, and the best tactics to protect them without restricting their freedom too much.
It was not easy, but that was not ought to be the case, to begin with.
When they were almost back at the base, Dilan was the first to notice that sothing was wrong. He couldn’t see the base yet, but a young woman rushed toward them.
He recalled her as one of the scouts, whose ability was related to enhanced eyesight.
“Isn’t that Nicole? Why does it look like she is about to cry?” Yvonne asked a few seconds after they had seen the young woman.
As if on cue, the two sisters dashed toward the young woman at once.
Nicole was not soone who would easily be flustered, or emotionally affected.
That was what both Kathrine and Yvonne had gotten to know during the last few days, when they had t so won, who wanted to fight for themselves, instead of relying on the n.
Dilan might have assured them that he would prevent anyone from raping the won, but there were often tis when he was not around.
Thus, many won wanted to be strong enough to protect themselves, whether it was from monsters or other vicious humans.
Only when they were strong enough that nobody would dare to look them in the eye would so of them feel reassured.
And, Nicole, was one of these won. She was already a Tier-1 Ascender who rushed to them with a desperate expression.
This was definitely not a good sign, even Dilan could tell that.
‘I wasn’t even away for that long, how can anyone create a ss in such a short ti?’ Dilan wondered, following behind the Sisters.
However, his speed was much slower than that of the sisters’, because he did not want his wound to tear up further.
“Yvonne, Yvonne!!! Marie needs your help, please co back to the base as quickly as possible, please!!!” Nicole scread out the mont Yvonne landed right in front of her.
Nicole’s eyes were teary and she began to sob the mont Yvonne reached her.
“What happened?” Yvonne asked in a calm voice, reminding herself to not panic when the worried girl began to sob and cry.
“Marie needs your help. So of the soldiers, who ca…they…they demanded her to sleep with them tonight. They even started touching her inappropriately, the mont their captain left them to take a look at Shiron’s condition…” Nicole blurted as fat drops of tears trickled down her cheek.
“What the hell? How dare these bastards do sothing like that?” Kathrine cursed when she heard Nicole.
“But why are you guys not intervening? We have more than enough Tier-1 Ascenders to take care of such bastards?” Yvonne asked, ignoring her elder sister’s comnt.
“They…They told us that the Blue Star camp would attack us if we dare to do sothing and that nobody will be allowed to co with them. That was also why so people of our group blocked everyone who wanted to intervene…” Nicole explained pitifully.
A few Tier-1 Ascenders had been eager to join the Blue Star camp from the beginning. That was also why they blocked those who wanted to help Marie when the Soldiers said that nobody would be allowed to co with them if they were to intervene.
“These spineless bastards!!” Kathrine cursed again, not caring to hold back her anger.
At that mont, Dilan appeared next to the sisters. His expression was grim because he had heard everything that had been said.
Dilan clenched his fists and was ready to ignore his injury and turn into a purple flash to reach the base when Nicole saw him.
Her tears ceased and she took several steps forward. All of a sudden, she grasped his hand and looked at him with hope and desperation.
“Please…Please help Marie!!!” She pleaded in a choked voice while fresh tears trickled down her cheeks once again.
Dilan just nodded his head, his sky blue ice turning into a block of ice as he activated [Thunder Step].
He didn’t have much mana left but it was more than enough to activate [Thunder Step].
Ignoring his injury, his Agility reached close to 130 Units as he let go of Nicole’s hand before he blasted through Shiron, reaching the base just seconds later.
Warm blood oozed out of the wound on his abdon, but Dilan bit his tongue and suppressed the pain.
“Don’t touch ee!!! Helpp!! Soone, help e, please!!”
His eyes flicked to the direction from where he could hear the desperate woman’s cries.
Several dozen Survivors had ford a group around a bunch of soldiers, and a young, and beautiful woman. She was struggling to escape the tight grasp of the Soldiers, who were tearing her clothes apart.
They didn’t care about the gazes they received as their lustful eyes looked at the perfect body of the young woman.
They wanted to take her like beasts without her consent and release their bottled-up desires at once.
‘Looks like my warning was not clear enough!’
