Undying Warlord

289 Region Announcement



It was only obvious that Clerens didn’t want to die. That was why he was forced to hand over the Sanctum Key to Dilan.

He eyed Victoria vigilantly at the same time just to see that Dilan revealed the four other Sanctum Keys. Without further ado, he added the last Sanctum key to the keychain of the others.

However, nobody expected two notifications to pop up right in front of him. One of the notifications was golden in color, while the other one looked the same as ever.

[Region announcement <Shikan plains>: The keys to the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord have been found and brought together. The Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord will be remodeled. Instance Dungeon <Sanctum of the Blood Monarch> has been created]

[Host has received Coordinates of the Instance Dungeon’s location, Information about the entry requirements, and more secret information as Possessor of the Five Sanctum rings!]

When Dilan finished reading the second notification, numerous pieces of information flooded his mind. It ached a bit but it was not unbearable. Dilan had felt far more pain, which was why he could keep up his poker face as he accepted and digested the information.

Only he received the second notification and nobody else. However, the first message was shown to everyone living in the Shikan plains.

“Well if that’s not a surprise,” Dilan said with a smirk. He didn’t sound shocked but rather interested.

The Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord had just gained much more importance in Dilan’s eyes after reading the second notification.

“What the hell…is that system thing now even altering the places that already existed?” Williams asked, trying to understand what was going on.

It was obvious that collecting the five Sanctum keys had been the catalyst for the notification that had just happened. It was still a mystery to figure out what exactly this system was. It didn’t do much and it was actually not a big influence on everyone’s livelihood, usually.

But despite that, there were times its influence was quite annoying and intrusive, to put it simply,

“If this Instance Dungeon is anything like the Pagoda of Time, it will be just as dangerous, or possibly even more dangerous to enter…” Kuhn mumbled, shuddering at the thought of the Pagoda of Time.

Meanwhile, though Dilan’s group knew about Instance dungeons, neither Clerens nor Victoria had ever heard about them. They were oblivious and their shock mostly originated from one particular aspect.

“Sanctum of the Blood Monarch…why did it suddenly turn into that??” Clerens asked in confusion, not expecting an answer. He was merely talking to himself.

But Victoria heard him and she was just as confused as Clerens. Her father’s Sanctum had just been remodeled by some sort of system.

“The Blood Monarch…” Victoria repeated quietly, which attracted Dilan’s attention.

“You know, who or what that is?” He asked straightforwardly. The information he had received was still being processed by his brain, but he was too impatient to wait for everything to be organized.

“The Blood Monarch is said to be related to the King of Vampires…but he never lived in the human world…nobody knows how strong he actually is, what he does, or where he lives. From a young age, I was told fairy tales about the Blood Monarch..and if I can speak in all honesty, it was blood,y cruel, and destructive.

In terms of a human’s descriptions of dreams, dreaming about the Blood Monarch’s fairy tales is probably one of the worst nightmares one can get,” Victoria said, her lips twitching.

She was not sure what to think about the sudden change in things. Did she like it or not? In the end, she just wanted to stand in front of her father’s grave to end her grief and guilt.

“Instance Dungeons are very resourceful. If this one opens a shop to everyone who reaches the final floor, it will become even easier to advance Tiers. The Taurus Shop is already an exception…though it is expensive,” Oliver opined while rubbing his hands.

With Yvonne, Ailee, Kathrine, Williams, and the others, they conquered the Pagoda of Time one time, while creating several new records in the <Group> raid of the Instance Dungeon.

This was also why they gained quite some Dungeon Points, and permission to look at the Taurus shop. The items in the shop were extremely expensive, but even more so, useful.

“It surely is useful but what are we going to do now? If the Blood Monarch is truly as unique as Victoria said, the Vampires of the Shikan plains will flock to the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord to enter the Instance Dungeon of the Blood Monarch… Should we just wait for them to kill each other before we search for the Instance Dungeon as well?” Silas wondered out loud. He was still weak but he heard everything. He was a bit concerned that Dilan would do something reckless.

Their leader was a great and powerful man, but he was not actually known for thinking things through. As long as one had the necessary strength this was not necessary. And the fact that only Dilan was extremely powerful and much stronger than anyone else made him more reckless than he needed to be in most of the cases.

“Waiting might be a bit troublesome as well…They need the Sanctum keys to enter the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord. The [Sanctum of the Blood Monarch] Instance Dungeon is the entire Sanctum, and one can only enter it with the keys…At least the first one to enter needs the Sanctum keys…the following won’t require them,” Dilan suddenly said, looking at the others with a complicated expression.

They returned his expression, just with more confusion, which lead Dilan to speak more,

“I have received some information about the Instance Dungeon, its location, and a bit more for being the person in possession of the Sanctum keys,” He said, trying to act nonchalantly, only to fail miserably.

“That means all Vampires will rush to the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord just to find out that they need the Sanctum Keys. Because they know that the Sanctum keys had been collected by someone, the Vampires will follow their instincts to rush toward you. They will kill you and your entire group, collect the Sanctum keys and leave afterward,” Clerens nearly laughed out loud when he summarized the current situation.

He looked at Dilan with a mocking smile, only to freeze in place, when he noticed that the office’s temperature decreased rapidly.

Victoria was staring daggers at Clerens and was ready to kill him the moment she received Dilan’s permission.

“That…is too dangerous,” Ailee cautioned before adding, “It’s great that we know about the threats now, but what are we supposed to do now? Whether we approach the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord actively or stay at our base, we will have to face all the Vampires either way.”

Ailee didn’t sound especially frightened. She was just stating facts which Dilan appreciated. Nobody needed to panic right now.

“How many noble clans of Vampires lived near the Center of the Shikan plains?” Dilan suddenly asked as he turned in Victoria’s direction.

The Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord was located in the center of the Shikan plains. Thus the noble clans close to the Sanctum would find out that the Instance Dungeon lies behind closed doors.

They would also be the first ones to actively search for the Sanctum keys. Only days later would the other Vampire clans get to know about the intel when they reached the Sanctum in person.

‘The Shikan plains are humongous. Even if some people are as strong or fast as I am, it will take days for most to cross the distance from their home to the Center of the Shikan plains, and a week to reach our location. If they move in armies, they need to adjust their speed to the slowest of them, which would further prolong the time until they finally encounter us!’ Dilan thought after a while.

A plan was forming in his mind and he felt that a great opportunity awaited them. It was a fact that he had the keys to an Instance Dungeon, meaning that he would be the first to enter it. If the Instance Dungeons were similar in its operations, those who entered them first would receive a certain bonus.

This was exceptional and something Dilan looked forward to. Simultaneously, Vampires were also powerful opponents. Dilan was excited at the thought of fighting them, especially considering that their Essences were unique and very helpful to Dilan.

He would have loved to fight thousands of them. The only issue was that he was unlikely to be able to fight thousands of Vampires with his current equipment, let alone the fact that his stamina would run out before he killed half of them.

Dilan’s head rattled but he was extremely excited with all the information he received. And this was something the others could tell as Dilan’s battle spirit was hard to miss.

It weighed heavy on everyone’s body and mind.

“Looks like we have some more trouble to take care of…”

“We will fight more Vampires, won’t we?”

“He is so sexy~~”
