Nameless King

After killing the ghosts, Wain continued onward. There was nothing of interest on the thirtieth and fortieth floors. There were massive ghosts but in smaller numbers.

These creatures could not withstand even one hit from the Plasma Destruction Sword. They were too weak. So before long, Wain passed the fiftieth floor and headed for the fifty-first floor.

In that time, he had gotten over two hundred souls from the ghosts, and his total number of souls was already approaching five hundred.

Wain didn’t know what to expect next. Even though he was halfway through the floors of this pagoda, he had yet to encounter a single strong opponent.

“Looks like I finally met someone strong.” Proclaimed Wain was looking at the enemy on the fifty-first floor.

It was a tall knight in black armor. Three black spheres were flying above his head. This knight was equipped with a massive, two-handed sword with a serrated blade.

There were two holes in his shoulder pads, and spirits burst forth like white flames. There were more of them with each passing second, and in an instant, they all returned to their proper place to begin the cycle again.

The knight looked powerful and dangerous. Wain stepped forward and swung his arm to point the plasma sword toward the monster.

However, when the blade of the sword almost reached the monster, the dark knight turned into a blur, and the next moment a shadow fell over Wain. He looked up and saw the massive knight rushing toward him, the monster ready to slice Wain in two.

Wain did not expect such a large opponent to have such tremendous speed. He quickly used Lightning Lizard’s Dash and dodged the monster’s attack.

Wain swung his arm once more, but the dark knight again dodged by leaping towards Wain. Each such attack by the knight left a significant cut in the ground. His attacks were so powerful that there were cracks in the stone floor.

“If this continues, he will destroy everything here, and it will be bad for me. Given his strength, he won’t care if he falls from this height, but it could be trouble for me.” Wain muttered and forced the plasma sword back into his hands.

Then Wain pointed the sword at the dark knight as if aiming. Wain was going to use the same technique as the black robot samurai. His sword didn’t have a special mechanism, but it had the right skill for it.

,m The dark knight understood what Wain was trying to do and so decided to attack first. The monster jumped again and brought his massive sword down on Wain. But Wain was in no hurry to dodge. He stood, pointing his sword at the monster.

Then the air around Wain’s arm and the plasma sword vibrated. It was in preparation for the powerful shot that came moments later. There was a loud click, and the kinetic bullet flew toward the monster.

The knight did not have time to react to this attack. The kinetic bullet was too fast and reached the monster in an instant. The bullet hit the monster’s left shoulder.

The black armor was crumpled and destroyed, as was some of the monster’s flesh.

However, such a severe wound did not even stop him. He felt no pain, his task was to kill anyone who ascended to his floor.

Wain bounced to the side, avoiding the knight’s crushing attack. Wain looked at his sword and muttered, “Even though I used the Plasma Destruction Sword, I still felt a powerful recoil. Moreover, I can see that there are several cracks on the sword. Kinetic Shot is a really traumatic skill.’

Because Wain destroyed the knight’s shoulder, all the spirits that were there broke free in an instant. There were more than a thousand of them. It seemed to Wain that they occupied the whole space. However, they were not dangerous. The spirits just floated slowly in the air.

Suddenly the knight’s aura began to increase, and his helmet half-opened, like the jaws of a wild beast. The monster sucked up all the escaped spirits in a second and then glared angrily at Wain.

Wain prepared to block the monster’s next attack, but suddenly he saw energy gathering in front of the knight’s helmet. The white energy quickly transformed into a small sphere from which a deadly beam flew out.

Wain instantly used Lightning Lizard’s Dash and dodged this attack. He felt that otherwise, he would have been mortally wounded.

The beam was so powerful that it had no problem penetrating the pagoda wall and even the black mist. This beam was seen by Agnes, who was in the manor house in the distance.

“Fuck, if I hadn’t dodged it, it would have wiped the powder off me. It’s crazy, but it looks like he got a little weaker.” Mumbled Wain.

The knight lunged in his direction, and Wain blocked the monster’s vertical attack. Then their battle turned entirely to close combat.

Sparks from the sword blades’ contact flew apart, and more cuts and cracks appeared on the ground.

But, Wain was calm. As he suspected after the knight lost half his spirits, he was considerably weaker. Wain had no problem blocking every monster attack and was even gradually winning.

‘Thanks to the plasma on my sword, I am gradually freezing his weapons. If this continues, in one moment, he will be unarmed.’ Thought Wain and blocked another blow.

Then Wain bounced back and threw the sword at the monster with all his might. The knight reacted and knocked the plasma sword aside, but he saw a flash of lightning and Wain in front of him the next moment.

Wain abruptly grabbed the knight by the arm and quickly knocked him to the ground. The creature weighed several hundred kilograms, so the stone floor gradually began to collapse when the knight fell.

But that didn’t stop Wain. He started punching furiously at the knight’s chest, trying to kill him. The monster tried to throw Wain off. But at that moment, it was hindered by the plasma sword that acted as a protector for Wain.

With each Wain’s blow struck, the knight’s armor crumpled more and more, but so did the floor. It was all part of Wain’s plan. He wasn’t going to give his opponent a chance to get out of this situation.

When the stone floor was almost destroyed and was ready to fall, Wain put his palms together to form a hammer-like shape and hit the knight in the chest with all his might.

Wain then used Lightning Lizard’s Dash, reached the room’s end, and plunged his plasma sword into the wall.

The knight tried to get up and kill Wain, the monster was able to survive his last attack, but Wain was ready for it. However, when the knight took a step, the stone floor could not withstand such pressure and collapsed to the bottom.

The knight fell as well. He had nothing to grab onto to stop his fall. Wain held on to his sword with one hand and looked coldly at the dark knight.

He pointed his hand at the monster, and then there was a loud click. The kinetic bullet instantly reached the monster, and the knight’s flesh was torn apart. There was no way the monster could dodge while it was in the fall.

Then the blue soul flew out of the knight’s body and headed towards Wain. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

[Soul of Spirit Knight (Destroyed)

Rating: Rare]

It was only one soul, but there was tremendous power in it. Wain had a much harder time defeating this one foe than the hundreds of weak knights and ghosts before it.

“Phew, that was problematic. I hope this floor was special, some boss room. If there are several monsters like that on the other floors, I won’t be able to make it to the top.” Mumbled Wain and climbed up the wall.

Because of his stats, Wain was much stronger than the average person. So he dug his fingers into the stone walls like climbing hooks and slowly climbed to the next floor.

As Wain expected on the fifty-second floor, the opponents were different, and many more. They were carnivorous plants. They had spiky vines with a sharp blade on end.

‘Did I get into a garden?’ Thought Wain looking around.

This floor was very different from the previous one. All around were various plants and trees. If Wain hadn’t seen the stone staircase behind him, he would have thought he had entered another dimension. Even the temperature on that floor was different.

‘Hmm, maybe I should kill them and rest here for a few minutes. This place looks quite suitable. After using Kinetic Shot twice, my arms are a little sore.’ Wain thought and stepped forward.

At the same moment, the carnivorous plants attacked him. In addition to the deadly vines they also had horrible mouths. They could eat a large beast like a bear alive. A strong man like Wain with many souls was the perfect target for them.

But, they posed no danger to Wain. These plants were no more dangerous to him than dandelions.

Wain waved his hand, and a minute later, the cut-up and frozen plants were lying around him. These creatures were incapable of reacting and dodging his attack. They looked more like dumb puppets than dangerous and intelligent opponents.

Then Wain leaned against one of the trees. He took a rest and put his thoughts in order. He didn’t need much time to recover and prepare for the next fight.

‘I have almost five hundred souls. Now is a good time to use them all. Maybe I can level up and get a Spiritual Box. That might help me in the battle against the monsters on the final floors.’ Thought Wain, and hundreds of white souls appeared around him the next moment.
