BXBX NOVEL Chapter 134 Cruelties!
While he tied up the three unconscious Ascenders, Dilan’s mind was a mess.
There was a theory he had in mind pertaining to the individualistic nature of human beings.
If he was not wrong the system might consider every single human as an individual entity.
This was something that sounded extremely logical but that was not the crucial point behind his theory.
Considering that his theory was right, every single human would provide status points to the beings that absorbed their Essence crystals.
This meant that the restriction of absorbing a maximum of three to four Essence crystals before no further status points would be provided turned out to be baseless.
Had that theory been true, it would have been possible for someone to gain numerous status points and some Essence by killing humans, whether they were unleveled or Ascenders.
After all, every human being was supposed to have an Essence crystal.
Dilan knew that unleveled existences had one owing to the first day after the Primordial Ascension, where he had wanted to save a girl in front of the hospital but had seen her turn into a zombie.
He was merely a second too late but a completed Essence crystal had already formed in her mind.
Following that, the Ascender he had just killed gave him a Bronze Essence crystal as well. He had pulled it out of the Ascender’s head without feeling much about it but that was not the crucial point.
“If they were mainly searching for Survivors, who are considered easy prey for Pyro and his team, they might have had much higher stats than I do…and they might have killed hundreds, maybe even more than a thousand innocent humans by now!”-.
It didn’t bother Dilan that his opponents were likely to be extremely powerful. On the contrary, Dilan was looking forward to his encounter with them.
However, the possibility that the Death Beatles gang was likely to have killed a thousand or so human Survivors made him feel murderously angry.
That was also the reason why he didn’t hold back the moment he noticed that the three Ascenders he had knocked out a while ago had woken up.
“Who…WHO are you?!!” One of the Ascenders asked, his voice filled with the intent to kill Dilan.
If the man in his 40s wouldn’t have been tied up, he would have jumped up and attacked Dilan already.
Under normal circumstances, the distinct intent, and deep hatred the man showed would scare the person, who had to face his wrath.
But Dilan was unfazed. It was not the first time he had been subjected to a rage that was high enough to make the other person want to kill him.
It wouldn’t be the last time either.
“You need not worry about my name or identity. You just have to tell me how someone like you was able to become that strong! You’re already at Tier-1, but probably through a Common ancient path… sooo what did you do?!”
Dilan’s expressions were ice-cold as he looked at the man in front of him.
He wouldn’t hesitate to kill the man, and the exact same could be said about torture. Dilan had experienced more than enough pain to know that attacking which part of the body would hurt the most.
As such, he would do everything needed to procure the information he wanted.
Slowly approaching the man, Dilan lifted his foot a few centimeters into the air.
A mere moment later, he stomped his foot hard on the right foot of the man, who had continued to glare at him.
Dilan could tell that the man in front of him was not fazed by death.
Fortunately, the same didn’t apply to the others. That made it quite easy for him to make an example of this man and showcase what the others would face if they were to disregard his questions.
They simply watched in horror as their comrade’s foot was squashed before he screamed out in pain.
The three Ascenders knew that their gang would not return until the late afternoon.
In the end, this made things much worse as their fate would be sealed until then.
That was also the reason they could only look at Dilan with distinct fear in their eyes.
Even if they found satisfaction in the pain and death of others, this didn’t mean that they liked being in pain.
Like true hypocrites and selfish people, if they could prevent to die, they would do it by all means!
There was no reason for them to be loyal to the Death Beatles gang and embrace death in the process as well.
After all, the two Ascenders didn’t belong to the gang before the Primordial Ascension, to begin with.
Thus, while the middle-aged man in his 40s kept quiet after his initial painful scream, the others were ready to reveal everything they knew.
And that was merely after Dilan squashed the food of the middle-aged man.
‘Isn’t that too easy? I haven’t even started yet!!’ Dilan was somewhat dissatisfied, but it was exactly this kind of behavior the two younger Ascenders feared to the core.
Dilan’s rather nonchalant expressions while inflicting pain, his ice-cold eyes, and his presence that reminded them of a Demon’s, or their worst nightmare was more than enough to inflict the sensation that even a painless death would be a blessing!
This was something the two younger Ascenders never imagined to feel, and it caused far more damage to their mentality and fortitude than one could imagine!
“We will talk, we will tell you everything!! Please don’t hurt us, please!!” One of them even begged with his hands folded in front of Dilan who imagined seeing tears in the corner of his eyes.
“In that case, I’m waiting.” Dilan stated matter-of-factly while slapping the middle-aged man, who was about to start swearing at his comrade…or former comrade by now.
“The Death Beatles gang is actively searching for the other gangs that have resided in Rian before the Primordial Ascension. They’re hunting them down to absorb their Essence, and to take in a few Ascenders, who…saved their own lives by leaving behind their former teammates…
Their plan is to keep hunting evolved humans to procure their Essence crystals because they have the most value.
While other Essence crystals lose most of their worth after three or four have been devoured, the Essence crystals from humans provide lots of Essence and many status points!
Everyone has advanced to Tier-1, and even if most of us choose a Common ancient path of advancement, our stats are still higher than most Tier-1 monsters we encounter in the outskirts of Rian.
As for-…..”
The younger Ascender continued to speak for a good ten minutes before he finished. His lips were already dry, and his heart was thumping wildly but that was not something he could be concerned about right now.
He was more focused on Dilan and the ways he acted. His gaze followed Dilan as he paced through the room, reminding him of a ferocious hunter who is out for blood.
It was quite obvious that Dilan was displeased with the provided information but the young Ascender didn’t dare to lie.
After all, it was easy to understand that Dilan would start torturing them the moment they lied.
That was, at least, what the young Ascender could predict by observing Dilan’s behavior and attitude when killing innocent human Survivors was mentioned.
Dilan didn’t care about the killed gang members in the slightest. In his opinion, they could slaughter each other whenever they wanted to.
However, the same didn’t apply to the innocent humans that had been killed as well.
The Ascender spoke a lot about the torture they had subjected innocent people to.
Dilan presumed that the Ascender didn’t even realize what kind of information he had revealed to him.
But that didn’t change the fact that Dilan had to finish his job neatly, without making a single mistake. This time there was no way that he would show mercy to anyone, or anybody.
The Shepherds were a different matter, but not the Death Beatles gang.
They had to die…all of them!
And with that thought, Dilan grasped the Gray Slayer tightly before he slashed it across the three Ascenders’ necks, beheading them one after another.
“Be happy that I grant you an easy and fast death…”
