Nameless King

Wain as though mesmerized stared at the amber soul that slowly approached him.

"Though you are not a frequent visitor, you have contributed much to the development of Last Light. Thanks to you we got our first two allies, Vampires and Plants, then you sent the Green Cats here and that's not counting everything that came before. Anyway, all those souls are yours now, use them as you see fit." Gisle said in a serious voice with a grateful look.

"I see..." Wain muttered as he touched the souls.

[The soul of the Thunder Lizard of the Lands of Darkness

Chronicle: Fourth

Rating: Legendary]

"What will you do with it?" Felix asked as he turned to Wain.

"Well, in any other situation I would absorb it. I need a hell of a lot of energy to evolve, however, I can't pass up such an opportunity as I still don't have any skills." Wain said in a slow voice while looking at the soul.

"Huh, I wonder what will come of that." Gisle smirked as he touched his chin.

"Hey, you said there's also my share here, is that true?" Zero asked as she frowned with her hands at her sides in a disgruntled manner.

Gisle nodded, "Sure, unfortunately for you I don't have a Legendary Soul, but I think you'll be pleased."

The next moment, a torrent of souls burst out of the rainbow lake. It was considerably smaller than Wain's one, but from each soul came powerful energy.

p "Here are 2,547 Fourth Chronicle Souls. Your share originally consisted of Third Chronicle Souls, but you came back later than I thought, so the quality went up, but the quantity went down." Gisle said as he waved his hand.

"There are twenty-five Ascendant Rating Souls... I've never seen more than three... It's incredible..." Zero muttered with a dazed look while the souls slowly headed towards her.

"Huh, if it weren't for you, many of the most important tasks wouldn't have had anyone to do them or everything would have happened with more casualties. Either way, all those souls are yours now." Gisle shrugged as a slight smile appeared on his face.

Whooooooooosh.

Zero waved her hand and hundreds of souls headed toward her. They surrounded her as though a planet around a star.

"Wain... What are you going to do now?" Zero asked as she looked at him.

"Hmm...?" Wain wondered as he touched his chin in a thoughtful manner.

Wain walked from side to side for a while, looked at Legendary Soul, and said, "I'd like to create a skill, but it takes time. It's definitely safe here...so most likely I'll be absorbing these souls now."

Zero smiled, stepped aside, and said, "I knew you'd say that. Let's do it, maybe these souls will be enough for me to finally be able to fill the core of my Third Torch."

"Third Torch...? That's right, you've already revealed your form. How does that happen? What do I have to do?" Wain asked in a thoughtful manner.

"You'll figure it out intuitively. The flames of the three torches will burn your present soul beneath which your present one is already ready, you just have to help it get out as though a chick from an egg." Zero said in a calm voice with a slight smile on his face.

"Felix, we won't have a problem if they absorb energy here? Apparently, Wain wants to light his Third Torch." Gisle asked with a worried look.

Felix with a calm look looked at Wain and Zero, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Well... They two are very strong, so because of the energy fluctuations it could cause problems, but since I'm here everything will be fine."

Felix rose up as a powerful stream of aura burst out of him that made his mantle tremble violently. He sighed and waved his arms, creating two purple seals in the air. Then a multitude of lotus petals burst out of the seals and headed towards Wain and Zero. The petals created two massive buds around them.

"Damn... There's so much energy in each petal..." Gisle muttered with a dazed look, "I've never seen you fight. How the hell strong are you really?"

"Well, I'm just good at creating protective barriers, isn't that enough?" Felix uttered with a detached look while his gaze literally pierced Gisle.

'Huh... Bastard... What are you hiding?' Gisle inwardly muttered as he trembled slightly.

At the same time, Wain and Zero explored their buds. They could not see what was happening outside of it, but their sensitivity to energy oddly increased.

"Wain, Zero, try to hit your buds with all your might. Before you start absorbing energy I want to make sure the barriers can withstand the pressure." Felix said in a calm voice.

"Sure. Get ready." Zero said with a serious look as she clenched her hand into a fist.

Whoooooooosh.

Her pupils narrowed and her fist, as if a spear, slammed into the bud with tremendous speed. Vibrations of energy ran through the bud and the petals trembled, but the bud sustained no damage.

"Not a bad blow." Felix nodded with crossed arms, "It's enough to break through any barrier, so it's a good thing I'm here. Wain, now you."

"Fine." Wain smirked, took a step back, and attacked.

His bud shuddered several times as vibrations traveled throughout the cave, but all the petals remained intact.

"Okay, that's enough." Felix uttered with a calm look as he walked back to the edge of the abyss, "You may begin. If anything unforeseen happens, I can handle it."

"Well, then, I'd better get going." Gisle said as he headed for the exit while holding his hands behind his head.

"Hmm? I thought you were staying to watch." Zero said in a confused manner.

"Huh, it'll take you a few hours to deal with that many souls, so I have things I have to do. Meet me in my office, Guir will be waiting for you at the Vault exit. Good luck!" Gisle uttered while waving.
