Nameless King

After Wain used the Code of Light and Darkness, his Strength became thirty-three points. He thought the queen's stats were just over thirty, so he decided to use brute force.

Wain reacted quickly and gripped the queen's jaws tightly. She tried to squeeze them and cut Wain in two but failed. Wain wouldn't let her do it, but he was having a hard time holding back her attack.

'Damn, it looks like her stats are a little higher than mine, a little more, and she'll clench her jaws.' Wain thought and immediately used another skill.

Electric shocks went through his body, and he turned into a flash of lightning. The queen's jaws snapped shut, but Wain was no longer in that place. He bounced to the side and then attacked the queen again.

After Wain realized that their stats were equal, he decided to attack melee. The dark sword flew around Wain and attacked the queen.

Wain's attacks were powerful enough to destroy the queen's tough chitin gradually. When the ant queen realized that she was losing, she used her last trump card.

The ant queen roared furiously, and all the other ants attacked Wain at once. More than three hundred ants of varying strength attacked him simultaneously.

Wain was ready for this. He knew that the queen would order the other ants to attack him when she had no more options.

The Worker Ants also attacked wain. They were the weakest but also the most numerous. More than twenty monsters tried to attack Wain, but suddenly he disappeared from their sight.

The next moment, the ants saw a white flash, and their bodies were cut into several pieces.

The queen looked warily at Wain. His aura began to change. It seemed somehow strange and creepy. This aura was not coming from the skill Wain was using but from himself.

The next moment Wain turned around and looked at the queen of the ants with an insane look. There was a strange smirk on his face, and then he brought the dark sword blade to his mouth and licked off the scarlet blood.

Usually, when Wain fought, he behaved calmly and judiciously. But, sometimes, during dangerous battles, Wain let his emotions run wild.

Wain loved to fight. He loved the smell of blood and the sound of his enemies' flesh being torn. When many ants attacked him at once, Wain chopped them apart and felt his blood boiling.

Then the queen roared furiously in his direction, and more than thirty ants attacked Wain. He smiled viciously and turned into a deadly whirlwind that destroyed everything in its path. Severed heads and body parts flew off to the sides, and rivers of blood appeared wherever Wain passed.

Such an adversary was incredibly dangerous for ants, for Wain was fast and deadly. Each attack killed at least one ant, and it was impossible to hit him with any attack.

Despite the fact that ants were rather small creatures, it was much easier for them to fight against large opponents. A huge enemy could not kill them all at once because there were usually so many ants. While the big enemy was trying to get rid of a few dozen ants, their comrades, numbered in the hundreds, would poison or snack the target to death.

But, the ants could not win if their attacks did not reach the target. Over time, Wain killed about a quarter of all the ants. Most of them were Slave Ants. Then he also killed a few Soldier Ants and even Sentinel Ants.

After another ten seconds of combat, Wain saw several messages.

[Your state does not match the ideal skill balance - the Codex of Light and Darkness]

[Because of your state, darkness absorbs light and begins to dominate this duo. Along with the increase of darkness, so does the change of stats]

The next moment, light gauntlets and boots began to be absorbed by the darkness. Wain was surprised by the change. He immediately looked at his status.

[Wain Norheim

Level: 7

Race: Human

Soul: Nameless King

Additional Soul: Last Knight

Title: Savior of the Damned

Status Points: 21

Strength: 41 / Agility: 41 / Vitality: 41 / Stamina: 41 / Energy: 1]

What? Energy is down to one, but my other stats have gone up? Hmm, is this the effect of the darkness taking over the light? Great!' Wain thought to himself and turned into a flash of lightning.

He killed one ant after another, consuming their souls. Wain didn't have time to use those souls to get Soul Essence, so they stayed in his inventory.

After a minute, Wain's armor was practically black, his gaze was insane, and he had a crazy grin on his face. He was covered in blood from head to toe, and his white hair became Crimson. He looked contentedly at the hundreds of corpses in front of him.

The only one who survived was the queen of the ants. She tried to attack and kill him. But, Wain easily dodged and used Lightning Lizard's Dash to tear her body apart. He had inflicted many wounds on her before, so he managed to kill her.

"Phew, that was hard, but I haven't had this much fun in a long time." Mumbled Wain trying to catch his breath.

He had expended more energy, and his body was under great strain. As Wain entered this strange state, he became stronger and more agile. But he also tired faster.

Wain looked around for a way out. He didn't cancel the skill as he wasn't sure he was safe yet.

In the distance, Wain saw a small passageway. That's where he decided to head.

'This Dungeon turned out to be quite difficult. I wonder if I hadn't come here, would all those ants have come out and started building their colony already in the city? Hmm, that might be a problem, but it could also be used to my advantage.' Wain pondered.

When Wain passed through the passageway, he found himself in a strange room. The room was made of black material with a glowing blue stone.

In the center of the room was a large, white chest. It was made of white wood and had several different patterns carved into it.

Wain smiled and muttered, "So this is my reward for this ordeal. I wonder what I'm going to get?"

He stepped closer to the chest and wanted to undo the Code of Light and Darkness. Wain thought that all the dangers were behind him and all he had to do was collect his reward.

But, for some reason, Wain was unsure of the correctness of his actions. His instincts told him that the danger had not yet passed.

"Hmm, I killed all the ants, and this room looks safe. But, I still feel a strange, creepy aura." Mumbled Wain.

Then Wain's gaze fell upon the white, unremarkable chest of loot. Wain's eyes turned icy, and he brought his sword down on the chest at lightning speed.

As the dark blade almost reached the chest, a large, creepy eye suddenly opened on it, and the chest grew ugly arms and legs. The chest bounced to the side and stared intently at Wain.

"Unbelievable, I've only heard of such things in stories and tales. So you're a Mimic?" Mumbled Wain looking at the living chest.
