Dilan was trying to make the Drakins talk and communicate with them but that was certainly not easy. He looked at them in an imposing manner to make sure that they wouldn't attack him.
However, this had the opposite effect and the Drakins considered this a threat. They unsheathed their weapons before shrouding their body with the elemental affinity they had been born with to charge at Dilan.
This looked quite formidable and it would have bothered Dilan a lot if the Drakins that had already emerged from the Dragon Temple Gate were stronger than the Mid Tier-3 Wyvern.
Even if they were, Dilan would have been quite happy about it.
The stronger his opponents, the faster he could grow after absorbing their Essence crystal. It was as simple as that!
Nonetheless, Dilan wanted to try talking to the Drakins at least once before he would do something to make sure that the Drakins couldn't bother him or his group.
