Undying Warlord

*[Five minutes earlier]*

After Dilan digested all the knowledge, memories, and experience that he gained from the ability [True Weapon Specialist] he made up his mind.

'Tierless Silver treasures are still useful…'

His boots were still extremely powerful as they gave him a shocking boost of 10 Agility points.

Only now did Dilan truly understand how much of a treasure they were. After all, both their Agility boost of 10 Units and their additional ability was simply too powerful!

This was even more so the case if a Tier-1 existence was naturally limited to being 75 times stronger than an average human before the Primordial Ascension!

Sighing deeply, Dilan could only think that gearing up in terms of equipment might be the best way for him to improve his stats at the fastest pace.

As long as he gained five or more pieces of equipment, it would be no problem for him to fight Intermediate Silver Tier-1 monsters right off the bat.

However, when he reached the permanent Gate that led to the Krendel's Underground Valley, Dilan was astonished by the notifications he received.

[<Silver> grade treasure can be exchanged with 25 <Silver> Essence crystals of the same type!]

Upon seeing the message, Dilan was a little bit baffled.

'Wasn't it only one Silver Essence in exchange for a Silver treasure before?!'

The increased cost frustrated him tremendously. He frowned and felt like punching someone, but before he could vent out his frustration, his eyes fell on the second message.

[Former exchange rate of one <Silver> Essence crystal for one <Silver> grade treasure still exists! Can be switched to the former rate freely!]

It was quite easy to note that the Gate had changed a little bit.

Not only was the bluish swirling liquid denser than before, but the amount of mana that streamed out of the Gate was more as well!

'Is that because of this weird Universe's Faith thing?' Dilan thought, concluding that this was the only thing that had changed during the last few days.

'It shouldn't be because I advanced to Tier-1, right? No, that makes no sense.'

He was still confused about everything that had changed in the last 30 hours. As such, Dilan was trying to make sense of the situation ahead.

However, he could only shrug his shoulders after two minutes before he chose to go all in.

"Two tries with 25 Silver Essence crystals, and a few with only single Essence crystals…it will work out!" He told himself and took out the required number of crystals.

It was only logical to receive better treasures in exchange for more Essence crystals. Or it should be like this in every logical way, at the very least.

That was also the reason for him to throw two batches of 25 Silver Essence crystals in the blue liquid mass of the Gate before throwing in the sole Essence crystals one after another.

After that, Dilan waited patiently for his reward. He kept glancing at his Log of the Ancient, trying to imprint the details of his occupational abilities in his mind to use them when needed.

Two minutes passed after which the first treasure was thrown out of the gate towards him.

"A…weapon blueprint!!" Dilan's eyes gleamed brightly at the sight of the blueprint. He picked up the parchment with curiosity, only for his grin to turn wider as he kept looking at the weapon.

"Beautiful…"

Several minutes later Dilan's hands were full of Silver treasures as he made his way to the large room they stored all weapons in.

On his way, Dilan found the sister duo, which elevated his mood even further. After all, they should know where to find the only man who was able to forge the weapon he wanted to use next!!

"Kath, Yvonne, have you guys seen Old Jeff? Is he still here or is he at the workshop?" Dilan asked excitedly, the moment he saw the siblings.

Kathrine blushed the moment he called her Kath because only her father had called her that, and not even Yvonne ever used it.

Upon seeing her elder sister's reaction, Yvonne smirked before returning her attention back to Dilan.

The young man was standing more than ten meters away from them, holding several weapons and other types of treasures with a bright smile on his face.

However, Yvonne didn't feel like smiling at all. Rather, her mouth had slightly fallen open while her eyes widened in astonishment.

Her Origin ability [Angel of Death] was causing a riot in her stomach, telling her to keep a distance from Dilan.

The further she would be away from him the better. Dilan's simple presence was already enough to cause her Origin ability to have such a reaction.

Her other senses were adding fuel to the fire as Yvonne clearly perceived just how powerful Dilan had become in less than 48 hours.

She was not frightened despite her Origin ability's warning but rather astonished about the fact that the man in front of her was able to intimidate her while smiling as if he was the happiest man on Milarn.

For a few seconds, Yvonne stared at Dilan in astonishment, while he repeated his question once again.

"Is Old Jeff here or at the workshop?"

To his misfortune, he still didn't receive an answer. The siblings' weird behavior soured his mood, so he quickly approached the two sisters.

"Hello…?? Are you two still asleep? Or have you guys been working too hard since the last few days?"

Halting merely a meter in front of them, he slightly leaned forward before looking in Yvonne's eyes that turned pitch-black for a second.

The instant right after their eye contact, Yvonne regained her senses, just to jump backward in fright as she realized only now that Dilan was standing in front of her.

"Old Jeff is still here…He is searching for some things in the hospital…"

Yvonne stuttered a little bit, confusing Dilan for a second.

'Does she still have problems interacting with men?' He wondered while taking a step back.

Afterward, he nodded his head, preparing to search for Old Jeff after putting aside the Silver treasures he received in exchange for the Silver Essence crystals he had procured in the supermarket at the permanent Gate.

"He should be in the main entrance on the first floor right now!" The moment Dilan heard Kathrine saying that his smile turned even more vibrant.

With only a large piece of parchment left in his hand, he rushed out of the weapon storage room, passing by Yvonne and Kathrine with a shocking speed.

A sharp gust of wind splashed on their faces, just for Kathrine to realize something she had missed out on earlier.

"Why is he suddenly stronger again?! Didn't he just wake up from his sleep?"
