Nameless King

Wain fought many monsters single-handedly and easily defeated them. He was covered in blood from head to toe, but he never stopped swinging his sword. The monsters around him died and turned into ice statues in seconds.

The Ice Knight and the other monsters gradually defeated their enemies through concerted action. They thought that this battle would soon end in their triumph, but they forgot that the Snow Desert was a Rank-E zone.

This place was home not only to various insects and animals but also to hazardous enemies.

In the Snow Desert, there was also a Leader, and he was heading for Wain. It was a massive monster four meters tall and two meters long. It was something between a wolf and a lizard. This monster had four paws with razor-sharp claws on them.

The Snow Beast had a massive mouth with two rows of teeth and three lizard-like tongues. There were also icy flames emanating from the monster's head and tail at all times.

This monster looked menacing, and when Wain felt its aura, he immediately released his own. The monsters stepped aside, allowing Wain and the Snow Beast to fight one on one. They couldn't affect the outcome of this fight as they were too weak.

Whooosh.

Wain did not hesitate. A large amount of energy accumulated before him, which turned into a white bullet. He grabbed it and threw it at the Snow Beast with all his might. Wain was going to kill the monster as quickly as possible.

The Snow Beast didn't expect Wain to attack from a distance, but the monster could dodge quickly by bouncing aside. Then the flame on its tail shone brightly like a torch, and a beam of icy fire rained down on Wain.

He grinned and turned into blue lightning. Wain wanted to dodge the attack and inflict serious wounds on the Snow Beast, but suddenly the beam split into dozens of smaller beams. Wain didn't think anything like that could happen, so he didn't have enough time to dodge.

Wain had to defend himself from the beams flying in his direction. He swung his sword many times, gradually repelling the attacks. Wain reflected all the rays, but suddenly three tongues flew in his direction.

The Snow Beast felt that Wain was a dangerous opponent, so it didn't want to prolong this fight. If Wain did not die now, their Void might be defeated.

"Shit!" Shouted Wain and tried to dodge this attack.

He concentrated and oversaw the monster's tongues. Wain swung his sword in such a trajectory as to cut them, but the tongues changed their direction at the last moment.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

Wain was struck in the right and left shoulder and in the stomach. These attacks were quite powerful, and Wain threw up a mouthful of blood. He quickly assessed the situation and moved a considerable distance away from the Snow Beast.

'Damn, it looks like while I was enjoying beating up weak monsters, I let my guard down. I should start fighting in earnest. Thought Wain and his aura began to intensify.

His hair became white and much longer, and he wore black and white armor. Wain didn't use Cursed Swordsman or Blind Sorcerer as it wasn't advantageous. The second form was unsuitable for fighting against enemies with the ice attribute, and the third form had too powerful a recoil.

At this point, using the Code of Light and Darkness was the best solution. Wain would become much stronger and faster while spending no more than 25% of his energy.

When the transformation was finished, Wain decided to look at his status.

[Wain Norheim

Level: 21

Race: Human

Beyond: Calamity

Soul: Nameless King

Additional Soul: Black Thunder's Renegade

Title: Savior of the Damned, Echo of Samurai, Mentor Inquisitor, The First, Soul Gatherer

Status Points: 6

Strength: 117 / Agility: 117 / Vitality: 117 / Stamina: 117 / Energy: 117]

'Hmm, even the Agility bonus from Sparkling Frost Boots is equalized. That's interesting. I need to find more good gear for better efficiency.' Wain thought.

At the moment, all his stats were 117. That was a significant value for a 21st level man. Wain was stronger than most First Chronicle creatures. He would approach the second barrier if his stats increased a few dozen more. After which, it will be harder for him to improve his stats.

Whooosh.

After Wain used the first form, the Snow Beast attacked instantly. The blue flame on the monster's head glowed brightly, and the beast became several times faster. The monster's claws flashed, and several energy blades rained down on Wain the next moment.

Wain put his sword out in front of him, and his hands became a blur. He swung his sword more than five times per second and shattered each of the blades. Then the Snow Beast decided to attack him on its own.

The monster opened its mouth wide, and three tongues burst into blue flames. They were like bright flashes rushing toward Wain.

"I won't fall for the same trick a second time!" Proclaimed Wain and turned into blue lightning.

However, he did not retaliate by attacking the Snow Beast, instead, Wain decided to retreat. He did this to ensure that the flaming tongues would not attack him. Last time, Wain had suffered some wounds, and he would not make the same mistakes.

The Flaming Tongues slammed into the sand, freezing it quickly. The Snow Beast's flame had the attribute of ice, so it wasn't capable of heating or melting anything.

Wain smirked and clenched his dark sword with force. He threw the weapon sharply toward the monster. It looked as if black lightning had pierced the massive Snow Beast.

The monster's chest was cleaved by a deep cut. The beast's flesh began to disintegrate due to the corrosive effect of the sword's darkness. Despite this, the Snow Beast survived and continued to fight.

The monster tried to attack Wain, but suddenly a dark sword appeared above it, which collapsed down like a heavenly punishment.

Whooosh.

Snowbeast tried to dodge, but he didn't have time to do so. The Dark Sword cut off its head, and it flew aside.

However, a second later, the flames on its head glowed brightly, and a thread of fire appeared between its neck and its severed head. The Snow Beast was a strong and fast monster, but its main feature was its survivability and high regeneration.

Despite a severe and even fatal wound, the monster recovered quickly. It only needed a few seconds to regenerate completely.

Whooosh.

But, Wain wasn't going to wait for his opponent to heal from his wounds. He transformed into blue lightning and threw the monster's head aside like a ball with a powerful leg kick. Many cracks went through the head, and it was buried deep in the sand beneath the snow dune.

The next moment a pink soul flew into Wain's body.

[Soul of Snow Beast (Whole)

Chronicle: First

Rating: Epic]

Wain smiled and immediately crushed the soul. In all the time, he received only a few Epic Rating souls. Only strong and dangerous monsters had souls of this quality.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Snow Beast level 21. Strength+8, Agility+12, Vitality+5, Stamina+5, Energy+7]

[You get Epic Rating Soul Chest]

Wain felt himself growing stronger. His Agility increased by 12 points, which was a pretty significant value. At this point, it was almost 10% of Agility. The other stats also got higher, especially Energy, which pleased Wain.

But, what shocked him the most was the Epic Rating Soul Chest. That was a surprise for him. It had never happened before.

A medium-sized pink chest appeared in front of him, and Wain put his hand to it. The chest disintegrated into hundreds of pieces, and Wain received an object resembling a blue piece of paper.

[Weapon Blueprint (First Chronicle, Epic Rating)

This blueprint contains a method of creating a powerful weapon capable of making its owner incredibly powerful. Any warrior would want to have such a weapon, now it's not a dream but almost a reality. However, only a person with the soul of a smith can know what is written on the blueprints].

'Hmm, what an interesting thing. Honestly, it is a bit disappointing. I was expecting to get some weapon or armor. However, this blueprint is unique. The thing is useless to me, but fortunately, I know a blacksmith. I hope that Lea can create another masterpiece with this blueprint." thought Wain.

The Ring of Damned glowed brightly, and the blueprint disappeared.

Once Lea created a masterpiece, it was a ring made of Ghost Crystal that Wain gave her. With this costume jewelry, Wain defended against the Second Chronicle attack and not be captured by Ria. It was then that Wain truly realized how much potential Lea had.

The equipment she created could change the course of a battle instantly, but it was difficult to create a masterpiece.

Wain looked around and saw monsters in the distance. Many of them, several hundred, yet they were afraid to come any closer. The monsters didn't expect Wain to deal with their leader so easily. They knew that was the end.

Wain smirked and wanted to attack them, but suddenly the Ice Knight appeared in front of him. He pointed his blade at the monsters and shook his head as if to say Wain shouldn't do that. In the knight's left hand was a chunk of a small piece of ice.

"I don't understand you. What are you trying to say?" Said Wain.

The Ice Knight swung the ice blade for a while and even tried to draw something in the snow, but his attempts were unsuccessful. Wain did not understand the Ice Knight.

Then the monster grabbed the sand with his right hand and combined it with the piece of ice in his left hand. Wain's eyes widened, and he smiled contentedly.

"AHAHAHAHAHA, that's right, they're already scared and aren't going to fight. What's more, I killed their leader, and now they only have two options. They can either die or join us!" Proclaimed Wain. "However...how do we do that?"

Wain was inexperienced in dealing with Void, so he didn't know many important points and procedures. He wanted to take over another zone or combine the two, but he didn't know how to do it.

Whoooosh.

Suddenly the Seal of Darkness glowed brightly, and several messages appeared before Wain.

[Nameless, to capture an enemy Void, you must destroy every living creature in it. Also, if the inhabitants of the Void are willing to surrender, you can do without total destruction]

[After capturing a Void, you can merge it with other Voids you own. In this case, several territories will become one, with a common ecosystem, rules, resources, and local territories.]

'Not bad.' Thought Wain, and the next moment he activated one of his Titles.

A massive death silhouette with a bloody scythe appeared above Wain, releasing his aura. The monsters didn't want to fight him, but Wain wanted to intimidate them as much as possible. They had to realize that they had no chance of winning. Only then would this Void pass into his possession.

Wain looked at the monsters and said, "Bow your heads before me or die!"

His voice rang out like a peal of thunder. Every creature in the two Voids heard it and shuddered in fear. Even the Ice Knight grew wary. Wain's words were like absolute orders, impossible to disobey.

The enemy monsters immediately bowed their heads to him and huddled on the floor like frightened beasts. These creatures could kill thousands of people, and some of them could destroy cities, but before Wain, they were nothing.

In the next moment, several messages appeared.

[Void, Snow Desert lost a war against Void, Ice Caves.]

[Nameless, conquered the enemy Void and is now the new owner of Snow Desert.]

When Wain first conquered his first Void, there were many messages in front of him. This time the same thing happened.

[While you are the owner of Snow Desert, all your stats are increased by 15. Your resistance to the element of ice is increased by 7%. Your resistance to sand attribute is increased by 7%.]

[While you are in the territory of this Void, your stats are increased by 15%. Your resistance to the element of ice is increased by 21%. Your Resistance to Sand attribute increased by 21%]

Wain felt that he became much stronger. Each stat increased his power, and he took a step forward to the top of the world.

The next moment a huge amount of Soul Essence appeared in front of Wain, and he saw the message he was already familiar with.

[Given your power and the power of your souls in Soul Altar, adjustments are being made to this area and the creatures that inhabit it.]

[Adjustments made considering your power and the power of your souls in Soul Altar.]

[Stats of all creatures in this area increase by 45%.]

[All creatures in this Void progress and accumulate Soul Essence 45% faster.]

Wain was surprised. These boosts were much better than in Ice Caves.

[Snow Desert will gradually grow and strengthen. Over time, this area will increase in size and its overall power.]

I'm almost healthy and from tomorrow the pace will be the same. There will now be two chapters instead of three, but the total number of words per day will remain the same and even be a little more.
