Nameless King

Wain stretched himself, breaking the thin layer of ice on his body, and climbed out of the lake of icy water. Cold steam was emanating from his body, considerably lowering the temperature around him.

In the passage, Wain saw two massive monsters, but they had no intention of attacking him. They stood with their backs to the lake as if guarding Wain's peace.

The Ring of Damned glowed brightly, and in Wain's hands appeared his clothes.

'Hmm, maybe I was worried for nothing. When I became the owner of this Void, the messages said that there was an adjustment according to my strength and the power of the souls in my Soul Altar.

This most likely means that the monsters power and growth rate of the Void, directly related to me. In that case, it makes no sense for monsters to attack me. On the contrary, they will try to protect me to not lose their bonuses.' Thought Wain looking at the monsters in the passageway.

When Wain got dressed, he headed toward the passageway. He wanted to go for the space where the Sorcerer's Soul was, but suddenly he stopped. Wain remembered something that had slipped his mind because of the intense events.

During the battle with the wyvern, Wain had killed many First Chronicle monsters, and some of them had Rare Rating souls. What's more, the wyvern's soul was pink, which meant it was very rare.

Wain was going to inspect and use each of these souls. But, he had a more significant task. He needed three First Chronicle Rare Rating souls to improve his three skills, and he was ready to do it now.

Whooosh.

A pink soul appeared in Wain's hands, and he muttered, "I'll save the sweet stuff for later."

[Soul of Wyvern Arkol (Destroyed)

Chronicle: First

Rating: Epic]

Wain was a little upset that it was Destroyed Soul. But, he understood that even if the monster was rare, he couldn't get Damaged or Whole soul for sure.

The exception was if there was only one such monster in the world and no one else of the same species or bloodline. In that case, the chances of getting a Whole Soul were 100%.

He crushed the soul and saw several messages in front of him.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Wyvern Arkol level 19.]

[You have leveled up to level 19. You get 3 status points to distribute freely.]

'This is quite unexpected. However, it was Epic Soul, and there was an immense amount of energy. But, I won't be able to level up that easily anytime soon.' Thought Wain and opened the skill improvement menu.

The first skill Wain decided to improve was the first skill he got.

[Plasma Destruction Sword (Primary Chronicle Active Skill, Common Rating)]

'Common Rating... It's not a mistake. After I evolved, each of my skills actually dropped one step. It's not a weakening, though. It's an adjustment considering I'm now a First Chronicle creature.'' Wain thought.

[All conditions for the evolution of this skill have been met.

[Any First Chronicle Rare Rating soul: 1/1.]

[Want to use the necessary materials and increase the Chronicle skill - Plasma Destruction Sword?]

Unlike last time, Wain didn't know how his skill would change now, but he had no reason to doubt. His skill would become much stronger anyway, which was the most important thing.

'Yes,' Wain replied mentally, and the next moment a blue soul and rune flew out of his body.

As on all previous occasions, they gradually joined together. As this happened, a wave of energy shot out. Then the renewed rune flew into Wain's body, and his eyes shone brightly.

He was getting all the information he needed to use this skill in seconds. His Soul Altar gradually filled with power, opening up new possibilities for Wain.

[Dark Sword (First Chronicle, Common Rating)

When this skill is used, a dark sword is created in the chosen location, half made up of dark energy with a powerful corrosive and freezing effect. When attacked, the target's flesh will slowly freeze and dissolve as if under the influence of a powerful acid.

Such a mixture is ideal for fighting against well-defended and armored opponents. Sword can be controlled from a distance of one hundred meters].

"Not bad." Mumbled Wain.

As he read the skill description, he wondered how the skill enhancements worked. Originally, Destruction Sword had neither the attribute of darkness nor ice attribute. Now, however, the two attributes were together and synergized with each other.

Wain believed that this result was because he had chosen to develop Destruction Sword in a certain way before. Wain did not believe it was a mere coincidence.

Whooosh.

Wain waved his hand, and black energy appeared next to him. It gradually turned into a long and rather thin black sword. It was about a meter and a half long. An ancient and eerie aura emanated from this weapon.

Unlike previous versions, there were no patterns on the sword. Only a black blade and a bare hilt without a guard.

Wain smirked and gripped the sword tightly. Then he walked over to the wall and took a few quick swings.

The sword passed effortlessly through the dense ice that Wain had not been able to cut before. Moreover, the ice near the cuts began to dissolve after a few seconds.

Whooosh.

Wain swung his hand, and the dark sword disappeared. Then he clenched his hand into a fist and slammed into the wall of ice with all his might. Since he had defeated the wyvern, his strength had greatly increased due to the numerous bonuses, and he wanted to see his power in action.

Crackle.

Many cracks went through the ice wall, their length reaching several meters. Wain's blow was powerful enough to make the ground around him shake, and the monsters in the passageway felt it.

They turned around as they thought that someone had attacked Wain, but all they saw was a lot of massive shards of ice at his feet.

Wain clenched his palm and muttered, "Great, that's a whole other level. With that kind of power, I can definitely get the Sorcerer's Soul."

Crackle.

Suddenly another splinter fell off the wall, and there was a bright, blue crystal. The likes of which Wain had never seen before in this Void.
