Nameless King

Chapter 298 Sword



Wain realized what he had been missing, and his aura began to change.

'Damn, how could I have forgotten that? In the first place, I am the possessor of the soul of the Nameless King, I am a human, and I am a soul eater. That's what my Beyond and I are all about. Wain thought, and a dark crown appeared on his head.

His palms were covered in gray energy, and creepy jaws appeared. The Ring of Damned glowed, and Wain gripped Nameless Monarch's Sword tightly. The energy from the palms of his hands transferred to the sword, as did the jaws.

They increased in number, and there were several jaws on both sides of the sword blade, which sometimes rattled eerily. A dark crown mark with a silhouette of a mouth appeared on the hilt.

"Not bad. You almost made it." Osvald said smiling.

"Almost?"

"Yes. You were able to shape your Martial Essence, but it's not ready yet. To finish the process and create Martial Essence, you must use it in practice. Then you will understand the power you have gained and how you must fight. Try to attack me. Give it your best shot. I'm much stronger now than before."

Wain nodded and stepped forward. He made a sharp lunge forward, striking his sword like a spear, and gray energy burst out of it with phantom jaws devouring everything in its path.

Osvald smiled and waved his hand. A massive phantom dragon eye appeared above him, glaring contemptuously at the jaws. White energy descended upon them and destroyed them.

Then a message appeared before Wain.

[Created by Martial Essence - Devouring Sword]

[Devouring Sword (First Level)

Your power and essence are to devour others and use them to become stronger. Sword, king of weapons, your loyal ally who took this power and created something new].

'I see. That's what Osvald was talking about.'

'Well done, managed it in just a few days. Although, I wouldn't expect anything else from someone Sven referred to me."

"What? A few days?"

"Surprised? It's rare to meet people who can quickly unlock Martial Essence."

"Shit, I need to go back. I've been here too long."

'Long? Is this guy kidding...? Osvald wondered.

He was a great warrior and knew that many take weeks or months to unlock Martial Essence with a ready core. Moreover, that moment would come long after the second evolution for many because only a few have fought as much as the humans.

"Old man, thank you for your help, and goodbye." Wain said, and his Seal of Darkness glowed brightly. He headed toward the space passage. However, it suddenly disappeared.

Wain turned around and saw Osvald clench his hand into a fist. It was he who blocked the passage.

"Wait, do you really think I will let you leave without a parting gift?" Osvald smiled, and a coin with a chain pattern appeared in his hand.

He tossed it to Wain and said, "If you want, you can come back anytime, and we'll fight you again. Just don't expect to stay in one piece after that. Ahahaha, and don't forget to bring a few bottles of hard liquor next time."

Wain smirked and caught the coin, "Okay, I see you want to see another blood fountain spurting out of you."

The coin glowed, and a door of chains appeared before Wain. Wain stepped forward and found himself between Overion and Merge Island in his world.

He climbed the tower and looked around. Not much had changed during his time in the World of Darkness, but there were signs of battles near the borders of the towns with the Dark Lands.

Merge Island was the most protected place since it was the farthest from the outside world. Gisle understood this, so he set out to build several bases on the island in a few days, where people could be safe, and he could order.

Wain headed toward Merge Island. He needed help from Forgotten to raise his Void rank, but he also wanted to know what Gisle's situation was.

...

The main base of Last Light was now in the center of the island and was a wood and stone castle.

Like all the buildings before it, Clovis had made it. He, like the others, did not stand still and gradually developed and grew stronger. Now he was not only a lumberjack and could partially control stones as well, which is what he used to build his new base.

Wain quickly found Gisle. He sat in his office, handing out orders and thinking about how to solve this or that problem.

After the merging of worlds, people were in turmoil. Dozens of cities had been destroyed, and now they were all alone in a vast world.

"Oh, Wain, you have no idea how glad I am to see you." Gisle said, leaning back in his chair.

"Hi, I had to disappear for a few days, but I see you got through it without me."

"Yeah, we got a lot of help from Forgotten and the dark lands. Even though these monsters have destroyed city borders and sometimes attack us, they are our shield from the other races."

"Do you think anyone would want to attack us now? The other races don't know that the humans are here. We haven't existed for them for a long time, though they're the ones who aren't wrong. We are not the humans that some of the Pillars know about."

,m "I see your point, but either way, some of them will find out about this place sooner or later and become our enemies. Wain, now that you're here, I want to ask you. Who do you think would want to be our allies. I'm talking about the Pillars."

Gisle knew the reputation of the humans, but he knew that many didn't care. It was the right thing to do for humans and other races alike. Power and personal gain were always paramount. Gisle believed in that.

"Hmm, I'm not sure, but we probably have a chance to ally with the Vampires and the Dark Elves."
