Almost 24 hours had passed since Dilan had entered the Primary Ancient Battlefield.
His Ancient Points had increased to far more than a million in the meantime even if he didn't fight against many monsters. Most of the time, Dilan was focused on talking with Rex and finding out what his friends had done in the last six months.
Apparently, they had become a small group of mercenaries, who were hunting the Chaos Monsters all over Arikan. They had been employed to do that specific task, and in exchange, they received treasures, Essence crystals, and other stuff. Their gains were big but so were the dangers and risks they would face.
Dilan knew that they had to fight against powerful opponents to get their hands on what they desired most, either way, so he was not actually surprised when he heard that his friends had become mercenaries.
