Undying Warlord

166 [Fallen Angel]



Even if Dilan had accepted the Blazing Serpentine Blade in an overjoyed manner, he was still somewhat concerned about Yvonne’s advancement to Tier-1.

Old Jeff had told him to come to the workshop as early as possible. That was why Dilan had arrived in front of Old Jeff’s smithy early in the morning on the 6th day since he rescued the survivors of the underground shelter.

After Dilan received his new weapons, he was told to test it out. Thus, both Dilan and Old Jeff were standing outside the workshop, looking at the Serpentine Blade that was engulfed in blazing flames.

It moved around like a viper that was ready to pounce at its opponents and slice them apart.

It was possible to wield the Serpentine Blade like an ordinary flame-engulfed longsword but also like a bladed whip.

This was quite interesting but Old Jeff quickly noticed that Dilan’s mind was somewhere else.

‘Just what is he thinking about?’

Old Jeff knew that Dilan had been the most excited to obtain the Blazing Serpentine Blade. It was only obvious that Old Jeff felt that something was off when he saw the young Leader.

What Old Jeff didn’t know was that Dilan was still thinking about Yvonne’s Tier-1 advancement.

She had merely advanced the day before, which was why Old Jeff didn’t know anything about it. He had been toiling in the smithy the entire day after all!

Yvonne’s advancement to Tier-1 took an entire day, clearly showing that many changes were occurring in her.-.

Initially, Yvonne wanted to choose the [Necromancer] occupation, which she could have chosen from the available occupations, just like Dilan.

However, before she reached the necessary Essence, the legendary occupation [Necromancer] disappeared from her ancient paths of advancement.

Someone else picked Necromancer as his occupation to advance to Tier-1, resulting in the limited choices available to her and others to choose from.

That was why Yvonne had to switch to a different legendary occupation which she unlocked not long ago.

After accumulating the Essence of numerous Tier-1 monsters, Yvonne was the second in their group to choose one of the strongest existing occupations.

Only Dilan’s occupation was stronger if one were to look at it from the occupation’s potential and extraordinary characteristics point of view.

Nonetheless, Yvonne’s occupation was unique because it provided her with a unique special trait.

Her occupation was called [Fallen Angel] and the special trait she received was none other than [Wind of the Fallen Angel]!

Black feathered wings with a wingspan of more than six meters would grow out of her shoulder blades when she made use of it, allowing her to fly through the air.

This provided her with a huge advantage in the battlefield as she could start aerial fights while ordering undeads from the ground with her Origin ability [Angel of Death].

It was possible for Yvonne to retract her wings, which she chose to do to prevent attracting too much attention.

However, even then, Dilan was a little bit bothered.

‘Fallen Angel and Angel of Death…is that just a weird coincidence, or something more?’

Yvonne had wanted to choose Necromancer as her occupation to advance to Tier-1 because she wanted to become a one-man-army who could control numerous undeads with both her occupational ability and her Origin ability.

But she was forced to change her choice, which left her with the Fallen Angel occupation.

Dilan was not sure why he was so bothered about this but something deep within him told Dilan that he had to be a little bit more careful.

After he made up his mind, Dilan was finally able to free his mind of all the worries.

He continued to test out the Blazing Serpentine Blade that soared through the air while he firmly gripped the hilt.

His mana control was precise and as long as he didn’t move, he could pick up the slightest movement of the Blazing Serpentine Blade.

Dilan chose to train to fight with the Blazing Serpentine Blade. But before he would join life-and-death battles, Dilan’s focus was on moving around and getting adjusted to wielding the Serpentine Blade.

The longer Dilan moved while swinging the Blazing Serpentine Blade around, the brighter his expression became.

He was exhilarated at every sequence he was able to unleash with the strongest weapon he had ever held in his hands.

Calling the Blazing Serpentine Blade a powerful weapon was an understatement because Dilan was pretty sure that he wouldn’t find a better Tier-1 weapon in the near future.

His heart skipped a beat whenever he made a small mistake because he was not even sure whether his body was strong enough to survive injuries caused by the razor-sharp Serpentine Blade.

However, the challenge his new weapon posed was something Dilan gladly accepted!

Half an hour had passed since Dilan began to wield the Serpentine Blade at a faster pace. Thanks to the [True Weapon specialist] passive ability, Dilan had it much easier to learn wielding new weapons.

Not only was this passive ability great to have a basic mastery over most weapons but it was even able to increase one’s comprehension while wielding a new type of weapon.

This was exactly what was currently happening, allowing Dilan to wield the Blazing Serpentine Blade around as if he had been training with it for several days straight.

The serpent-form, which was what Dilan chose to call the enlarged form of the Serpentine blade, lunged out, enveloping him in a huge radius, and creating a huge ball of fire and razor-sharp blades around him.

Moving while enveloped like this was extremely difficult because every action had to be perfect, otherwise, he would accidentally cut off his legs.

However, moving was not important in this state because Dilan didn’t want to use this move to attack. Rather, it was an aggressive defensive tactic that prevented others from attacking him.

Dilan tested out a few more movements with the Blazing Serpentine blade, and only when his mana was completely drained did he stop moving.

The Serpentine Blade went limp, forcing Dilan to use a trace of mana the moment he recuperated some of it, to retract the serpent form.

Once he was done, Dilan lay down on the ground, ignoring the fact that he was in the middle of the street, that monsters might jump at him all of a sudden, or that Old Jeff looked at him like he was seeing a little monster.

“Is he really a human?” Old Jeff mumbled to himself.

‘How the hell is it possible for a human to become so proficient in wielding such a complex type of weapon in a matter of hours?!’

From the outside, it might have looked like Dilan was struggling for quite a while. However, the difficult movements Dilan practiced, followed by the fact that he was completely unscathed and smiling while wielding the Blazing Serpentine Blade were more than enough for Old Jeff to feel like Dilan was merely playing around.

The other Serpentine Blades were far easier to control than the one Dilan wielded. That was not only owed to the Orb of Pyromancy that had to be controlled precisely to prevent an accident from happening, but it was also because of the weapon’s material.

At the first glance, one might not notice it, however, it was a fact that the Molten Essence of Silver Tier-1 monsters was several times more potent than the Molten Essence of Bronze Tier-1 monsters.

Through this distinct difference, Dilan’s Blazing Serpentine Blade was a true monster, whether it was its lethality, power, or difficulty to control properly.

Yet, Dilan made it seem as if it was easy to wield the Blazing Serpentine Blade. Thus, Old Jeff was quite intrigued when he saw a batch of three humongous boars appearing from an alley on the side!

“Dilan! Can you see the huge boars there? How about you use them to show me how great this masterpiece I crafted truly is?”

Dilan had closed his eyes to enjoy the snowflakes that were melting on his face.

But after hearing Old Jeff’s comment, his body shot upward. He looked in the direction Old Jeff pointed at before a smile blossomed on his entire face.

“They’re strong, maybe they are Silver Tier-1 monsters…perfect!!” Dilan exclaimed, getting up from the ground while activating [Bearer of Pain].

‘3 Units of Mana should be more than enough for me to deal with them!’
