Nameless King

Immediately after Wain left Dungeon, he coincidentally destroyed one of the Sea Punishers' bases. The news spread almost immediately throughout eastern Overion.

Eyewitnesses to the incident quickly relayed the information to the head of the Sea Punishers, but oddly enough, it wasn't the man who received the information first.

One person on the eastern side of Overion had a more advanced information network, and that person was now at the University of the Bright Sun.

But, it was hard to call it a university. It was more like a vast complex of buildings, mostly made of wood.

He is a tall guy with thick gray hair, brown eyes, and several scars on his back. He was looking at the maps on the table and pondering something. Not far from him hung a katana, which emitted an eerie aura on the wall.

Click.

At that moment, the door to the room opened, and a man came inside. He bowed and said, "Boss, I've just received word that the second Sea Punisher base has been destroyed."

"What?" Gisle said in surprise. He hadn't expected, all of a sudden, to get news of this nature.

"We don't know exactly what happened there, but our informants reported that they saw a black flash, followed by a deafening explosion, and the base was wiped to dust." Quickly the man replied.

Gisle wondered, 'Has some kind of monster appeared by the sea? That could be problematic... I didn't fight the Sea Punishers because that Dungeon is practically useless. Fighting monsters in the water is too inefficient a way to extract Soul Essence.'

"Will Tria be able to pick up the source of that energy? I think it's more likely that some monster did it. It's probably moving toward our base in the forest." Said Gisle.

The informant smiled and said, "I already told her everything. She was able to identify the energy source, and it wasn't cataclysmic. It's definitely a living thing."

"I see. Send Agnes and Teresa to deal with this monster. Have them attack as soon as they feel the energy fluctuations." Said Gisle and looked toward the forest.

"Orders understood." The informant said briefly and headed towards Teresa and Agnes.

"It's strange... But it's a lucky coincidence for me. The Sea Punishers have taken over the entire coast, I would have wiped them out long ago, but it would have cost me too much.

I cannot sacrifice people if the ends are not justified. I hope this monster doesn't destroy the base in the woods. Teresa and Agnes can kill anyone." Pronounced Gisle.

...

When Teresa and Agnes learned what had happened, they immediately headed into the forest. The two of them had been Last Light's Punishers. That's what Gisle decided to call his organization after they became the strongest on the eastern side of Overion.

Under Gisle's leadership, Last Light was able to destroy all hostile organizations except the Sea Punishers, as in Gisle's opinion, it was not profitable.

Teresa and Agnes were some of the strongest members of Last Light. They always acted according to Gisle's orders.

But, they were not the strongest. The strongest person in Last Light was Zero. However, she did not always obey Gisle. More often than not, she acted in her own interest and discretion.

She wasn't at the main base this time, as she had gone off to hunt monsters. She's the closest she's come to evolving. Lately, she only has a little Soul Essence left to get.

...

A few minutes later, Teresa and Agnes reached the base in the woods.

"Great, looks like that monster hasn't gotten here yet. Gisle said to attack as soon as we feel that monster's energy. Agnes, do you think we can kill it in one surprise attack?" Asked Teresa.

"Of course, it won't be a problem. No one will be able to resist us at the moment." Agnes answered and ran on.

In a minute, they were running among the dense thickets of the forest. There was practically nothing to be seen around them. If a monster attacked them, they would instinctively dodge it.

"It's here," Teresa said seriously, looking to the left side of the forest thicket.

Agnes nodded, "Okay, attack instantly."

The next moment their bodies became a blur, and they burst through a layer of trees. They immediately used their most powerful skills, and the speed of their combined attack was incredible.

At that moment, they didn't even have time to realize that they weren't attacking a monster, but Wain.

There was no way they could have expected something like that, and they weren't capable of stopping and realizing the situation in a split second.

However, Wain was able to react to this deadly attack. With a simple movement of his hands, he blocked Agnes and Teresa's attacks and punched them in the stomach.

He didn't hold back as he acted too quickly. Wain could react and attack back, but he only realized he was being attacked. He didn't know who it was.

"Decided to attack from behind? Clever, but it won't help you." Wain said coldly, and black electrical discharges began to build up in his hand.

Then dark clouds thickened over the forest area, and Wain was ready to clench his palm in his fist.

"Stop!"

But, suddenly, he heard the familiar voice of Agnes. Wain stopped at the last moment. Otherwise, the place would have been destroyed by now.

"Agnes?" Wain muttered in puzzlement. Then he saw Teresa rising from the ground.

The girls could barely stand on their feet. Wain's blow was powerful enough to make them cough up blood and squirm in pain.

"You... Didn't you disappear? Where have you been?" Teresa said with difficulty. Every time he met Wain, something out of the ordinary happened.

"I've been busy. Unlike you, I haven't wasted any time and built up my power. You can hardly stand on your feet after one single blow. Shame on you." Said Wain.

"Fuck you..." Teresa replied shortly.

"Wain, have you seen a monster?" Asked Agnes. She was glad to see Wain after he had been gone for a long time. But first, she had to make sure the base in the woods was safe.

"What monster? I didn't meet any monsters while I was walking here." Wain replied.

"What? We came here because some powerful monster destroyed the Sea Punisher base on the coast. We urgently need to find it before it gets to our base." Agnes said hurriedly.

"Hmm, if that's what you're talking about, I'm the one who destroyed the base on the coast." Said Wain.

"Are you serious?" Teresa asked incredulously.

"Yes." Nodded Wain, "Those idiots decided to attack me, I just wanted to know where Gisle was. Where is he, by the way? You sure as hell should know."

"You're as formidable and unpredictable as ever..." Agnes muttered.

"Gisle is at the university, as before this is our main base. He sent us here to deal with a dangerous monster, and you ended up being the monster. I wouldn't say it was a mistake, though." Teresa replied with a smirk.

"Alright then, if all the problems are solved, let's go back to base." Said Wain and headed in the direction of the university.

"Damn, at least you could apologize. The scariest monsters are nothing compared to your punch." Said Teresa grudgingly.

"Apologize? It was you who attacked me first. Moreover, it's not my fault that you're too weak and got such wounds from one blow." Calmly said Wain.

"Wain, I am not mad at you for attacking us, for you are right. We were the ones who started the action. But, where did you get such power? What have you been doing all this time?" Asked Agnes.

"I've been evolving. Unfortunately, it's quite a long process. By the way, for how long have I been missing?" Asked Wain.

His words surprised Agnes and Teresa. According to their calculations, they needed to kill monsters for about two more weeks to get enough Soul Essence. They wanted to evolve more than anyone else.

"It's been about two months since you disappeared," Teresa replied.

Wain was surprised. He thought the evolution process was supposed to take a few weeks, but instead, he spent a whole two months in Dungeon.

"That's unexpected... I thought it was a lot less time. Perhaps evolution happens differently for each person?" Wain muttered.
