Nameless King

Whooosh.

With a swing of his sword, Wain cut off the head of another Imp. In the last twenty minutes, he had already killed more than a hundred of these monsters, and gradually more of them.

Wain was sure he was on the right track, and it wasn't his guess. There were dozens of tunnels around him, and Wain had no idea where Imps' base might be.

So Wain decided to proceed as follows, when he entered the tunnel, he only walked about a hundred yards. If no one attacked him in that distance, he would go back and take another route.

Wain didn't know if this method would work and help him move faster in his search, but after a few successful attempts, Wain was convinced that his idea made sense.

"Great, looks like I'll get to the right place soon," Wain said smiling as he looked at the twenty Imps running in his direction.

All this time, Wain had not canceled the cloak effect, so the monsters were more aggressive to him than usual. However, given the situation and Wain's strength, that was a plus rather than a minus.

'I'm like a red cloth to a bull to them. It's quite an interesting myth.' Wain thought, and a plasma sword appeared in his hands.

Then electric discharges sparkled at his feet, and a step later, Wain was amid the monsters. He swung his sword at lightning speed and severed the five Imp's heads.

A moment later, Wain turned around and kicked three of the monsters. Imps' bones were crushed and broken. Wain's strength was too much for their bodies to withstand.

Whooosh.

Wain took another step and turned into blue lightning again. The plasma sword disintegrated into small pieces and disappeared. At the exact moment, the heads of the other monsters fell to the ground.

Twenty white souls flew into Wain's body, and he immediately crushed them.

This time Wain was unlucky and didn't get the Spiritual Box, but one of the souls was Damaged. So after using it, Wain got a slight boost to his stats.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Imp level 11. Agility+1, Stamina+1.]

'Not much, but I got a little stronger. Of course, I'd like more, but it's a hundred times better than nothing.' Wain thought and moved on.

...

While Wain traveled through the underground level of the Nest, Gisle was upstairs looking at the fire in the crevice.

'Damn, I told Clovis to keep building the bridge. He's already done half the work, but the fire is increasing too fast. If things continue at this rate, the bridge will be burned in an hour.' Gisle thought, and suddenly the simplest and most obvious idea popped into his head.

"Does anyone have items or skills with which to create water?" Gisle said loudly. His voice was heard by every person in the camp, and some of them nodded and headed in his direction.

They were two guys and one girl.

"Can we help you?" One of them asked.

"Use your skills and try to put that fire out. It will be good if you can at least reduce its intensity." Said Gisle pointing at the fire.

"We'll do our best." Said the guy and extended his hand forward. Then a drop of water appeared before him, which gradually turned into a giant bubble.

It was not an attacking or defensive ability, but he could delay or even wholly disarm his opponent with this skill.

Then a girl approached the edge of the slope. She didn't have any water related skills, but she did have one rather unique item.

It was a dagger with a crooked blade but a cold aura emanating from this weapon.

The girl swung the dagger, and the blade of the weapon glowed. Then she swung the dagger and the icy crescent-shaped blade headed toward the fire.

'Ice...right, you can use more than just water.' Thought Gisle as he watched the massive bubble drop down.

After about five minutes, the fire level dropped a bit, but the guys' and girl's energy was starting to come to an end. They had used skills and items many times in a row and were already tired.

"Huh, this really works. How did I not think of this before? If I keep procrastinating like this, there won't be any bright future for me." Mumbled Gisle looking at the fire.

...

By the time Gisle and his men had done their best to bring the fire down a bit, Wain had already gotten where he wanted to go.

He entered the spacious room that was Imps' base. More accurately, it was an actual village itself. There were tents, small huts, and even a semblance of watchtowers.

Beyond this village was another massive passageway. Wain could not see what was there.

Whooosh.

Lightning boots appeared on Wain's feet, and he ran like a flash toward the village. Imps on the watchtowers spotted him too late.

They tried to stop Wain by shooting at him with their bows, but the slow arrows could not hit such a fast Wain.

When Wain got close to the wooden gate, he jumped on it and then jumped over to the watchtower.

Wain swung his sword vertically and sliced the monster in two. He did the same to the rest of the Imps standing on the other watchtowers.

By that time, panic had broken out in the village. All Imps ran out of their houses and were ready to attack Wain, but suddenly there was a loud roar.

Roooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!

Wain looked in the sound direction and saw a particularly large Imp. Unlike its brethren, it was three times taller than them. It was three meters tall.

This Imp had only one massive, black horn on his head. His skin was bright red, and he had an enormous halberd in his hands.

'So their leader decided to fight me?' Thought Wain and jumped off the watchtower.

The rest of the Imps stood in a circle, thus creating a makeshift arena. They wanted their leader to deal with Wain personally.

The main Imp roared furiously again and thrust his halberd forward. This monster wore no armor, but flames emanated from its body constantly, as if from a demon from hell.

Wain also braced himself for battle, but he had no intention of fighting the Imp's leader now. He smirked and turned into blue lightning.

Wain decided to kill all the Imps around him first. He didn't want any sudden trouble while fighting such a dangerous opponent.

The monsters were shocked by Wain's actions. They did not expect that he would want to kill every Imp instead of fighting the monsters' leader.

When the Imps realized what Wain was doing, they tried to run away. But Wain wasn't going to let them go. He easily caught up with the monsters and killed them with lightning speed.

Wain had tremendous speed because he used Lightning Boots and because his Strength and Agility were at a high point.

None of the Imps could escape. Wain killed every one of them, leaving no chance for anyone to survive.

The Imps head tried to thwart Wain, but he failed to do so. Wain acted suddenly and unpredictably.

"Okay, now it's time to deal with you!" Wain said loudly and prepared for battle.

He sensed that the aura of the Imps' head was not the same as that of his kin. This one-horned Imp's aura was much stronger than the others. Moreover, it was denser and more ancient. Wain knew immediately what that meant.

'This monster is definitely from First Chronicle. It will be my first such opponent.' Thought Wain.

Then he thrust his sword forward and said, "I hope you will be a worthy opponent. Don't disappoint me!"

Whoooosh.

The next moment the fire emanating from Imp's body intensified manifold, and he turned into a fiery flash that headed toward Wain.

The monster's speed was incredible. None of Last Light's members could have reacted to this deadly lunge, not even Zero. However, Wain had enough reaction and speed to see his opponent's every move.

Bam.

The massive halberd and the plasma sword touched. Sparks flew from their collision. Wain was able to block the monster's attack, but he felt that it was a real, powerful blow that was capable of inflicting a severe wound.

'Not even considering his halberd. If I miss a punched in the stomach several times in a row, my internal organs will be severely damaged, and I'll start bleeding internally.'

'Great, that's just what I needed!' Thought Wain and, with more force, knocked the halberd aside.

Wain tried to strike the monster with his fist, but the one-horned Imp dodged and made a vertical swing of the halberd from bottom to top.

The blade of the weapon half-inched into the ground and instantly reached Wain.

Whoooosh.

Wain covered himself with his sword and then pointed his hand at the monster. He wanted to use Kinetic Shot and kill the monster in one powerful attack.

There were vibrations in the air, and after half a second, there was a loud click. The kinetic bullet flew toward the Imps' leader. This time, however, Wain's plan was not to be.

The one-horned Imp swung his halberd and knocked the kinetic bullet aside. Wain was surprised, as this was the first opponent since Forgotten, which could block Kinetic Shot rather than dodge it.

"Not bad. It's quite different from these wimps. Monsters from First Chronicle, that's a whole different level!" Quite said Wain.

In fact, Wain loved battles, but only against worthy and powerful opponents. For only then could he enjoy the battle and perhaps learn something.

The more strong enemies he defeated, the greater his own power would be.
