Nameless King

Chapter 32 The Perfect Cut

When Rafe almost reached his opponent, Gisle opened his eyes at the last moment. He brought his katana down at lightning speed. His movement was so swift that no one present noticed it.

That swing created a windblade that instantly went through Rafe's body, cutting the energy cover and him into two equal parts. Moreover, the windblade went further and sliced through one of the smaller buildings.

Everyone froze in shock. No one could have imagined that this fight would end so quickly and in such away. They didn't expect any of them to really die. But Gisle and Rafe were serious.

When Gisle realized that this was the only option, he decided to end it all in one powerful attack. Rafe didn't stand a chance of surviving. The windblade went through the layer of energy and his flesh like a red-hot knife through butter.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

But, suddenly, the silence was broken by a measured clap as if to greet the winner. Everyone looked in surprise at the tall man in the black cloak. He slowly clapped his hands together, smiling weakly.

Then everyone else repeated after Wain, and a hail of applause erupted. Just now, Gisle had committed a brutal murder for which a day ago he would have been imprisoned. But, now, in a time of apocalypse, their fight was not a violation of the law. It was a duel by a gladiator in the middle of a coliseum under the gaze of onlookers.

'I didn't expect Gisle to have such a trump card stashed away. He knew he would win before the fight began, yet he still initially wanted to settle. He's trying to find an opportunity to strengthen his group.' Thought Wain.

At this moment, all the people could only have three active skills. Wain only had one active skill, Lightning Lizard's Dash. That meant he could have two more active skills. His Soul Altar couldn't hold any more, at least not yet.

However, there is no limit to the skills obtained from souls, whether main soul or additional soul. So even though Wain has Destruction Sword and Nameless King's Forms, which were active skills, he could have two more active non-soul skills.

Initially, Wain thought that the energy blade Gisle had used before was his Main Soul skill, but that turned out not to be the case.

'The whole time, he was using the skill he got from the Skill Book. However, perhaps he has some powerful additional soul. It's quite possible.' Thought Wain.

When people stopped clapping, Gisle stuck his katana in the ground and said loudly, "Less than 24 hours ago, there was an apocalypse, and all we have to think about is how to survive. However, if anyone doesn't agree with the results of the battle, they can come out and fight me."

Gisle chose to show his survival-oriented stance right off the bat. However, he also let the others know that he would lead the whole process as long as he was the strongest.

"Damn, Rafe turned out to be weak, but then we'll take care of it. Suddenly said one guy who was standing behind Rafe during the fight.

He was one of those who believed the most in Rafe's unshakable strength, but when his commander lost, he did not despair. On the contrary, he thought this was his chance.

He instructed his associates and, more than five men the next moment simultaneously attacked Gisle. If they killed him now, they could control the others together.

Gisle prepared for the fight. He did not expect to be attacked by several men at once. Suddenly, however, he saw something terrifying.

A dark shadow with a massive sword in its hands appeared in front of the attackers. The silhouette lightning swung its weapon several times, after which the six chopped bodies up fell to the ground. Only one guy was left alive, the one who started the attack.

Wain walked up to him with an icy stare and plunged his hand into his chest, ripping out his heart from the other side.

"I'm sorry, but the show is over. You bunch of clowns will bring this place down, and then I've only wasted my time." Wain said in an eerie voice and crushed the heart.

Wain was interested in this university because, in his opinion, it could be one of the most important places in Overion. At this point, he could not go to other parts of the city, much less to other cities. First, he had to find a way to cross the canyons.

Therefore, this university could become the main point where all information and resources would be sent. It would all happen under Gisle's direction, and Wain could take advantage of that. But, he didn't see a future for the place if people like that ran it.

Gisle, like everyone else, froze in shock. At that moment, Gisle thought, 'I knew Wain was strong. He certainly has some powerful soul. What's more, he doesn't look like a simple man who came here to rest. Gotta keep a good relationship with him.'

These thoughts were the beginning of the respect and awe before the power that Wain reflected on. It was a solid beginning that would make Wain a unique person to Gisle.

Gisle wanted to say something, but suddenly a scream was heard in the distance. Everyone turned around and saw that the main gate had been broken. The monsters were heading quickly toward the people.

Gisle said loudly, "Everyone who can't fight gets on top. Most of the monsters around the university are zombies, and they are very slow. Build barricades and wait for help. The rest who can fight, be careful, and pay attention. If a zombie hurts you, you're dead."

Wain looked at the crowd of monsters and thought to himself, 'They managed to destroy the main barricade. Zombies and small insects aren't strong enough to do that. But it looks like I can see who's to blame for everything.'

He looked at the massive creature, over seven meters tall behind the zombies. It looked like an enormous blob of flesh with huge, front paws that looked like two hammers. Because of its strength and size, this creature had no problem destroying a house and any barricade.

"It looks like a mutated monster. They are slowly beginning to appear." Mumbled Wain and ran towards the monsters.

It was unexpected that the monster attack happened now, but it had to happen sooner or later. There were more and more monsters, and they had to be killed to maintain the balance. After all, the mutations weren't over. They were beginning.

This was an excellent opportunity for Wain. He thought he could get enough Soul Essence if he killed all the ants in the Dungeon, but he ended up having to trade all the souls for one Void Soul.

Wain wanted to go to a place where he could get the soul he needed to unlock the next form. But, before that, he wanted to improve some skills, get some new gear, or increase his level.

So he was the first to attack the monsters, but it would be difficult for him to deal with such a horde of monsters alone. After all, more than a thousand monsters of varying strength had accumulated around the university in a few hours. And now, all of them were heading for the main passageway.
