Nameless King

When Wain realized that he could not get out of such a dangerous situation by ordinary means, he decided to use one of his strongest skills.

His aura increased dramatically by several times, and his black hair changed its color to white. Wain decided to apply the Code of Light and Darkness and thus quickly kill the monsters and get out.

Wain then swam to the side in one motion and pushed himself off the wall’s rubble behind him. His strength was enough to push off with such speed that he was instantly several meters behind the Merfolks.

The monsters saw Wain trying to escape and pounced on him, but electrical discharges appeared around Wain’s body when they surrounded him and got close to him.

Wain was going to use Lightning Lizard’s Dash even though he was underwater. He decided that in that situation, it was the best solution. Since he was using Code of Light and Darkness, even a severe electric shock would not seriously injure him.

The Merfolks did not have time to retreat. They didn’t expect Wain to have such an ability in his arsenal. They were far more afraid of electricity than Wain. Merfolks had little resistance to the lightning attribute.

Whoooosh.

A moment later, Wain turned into blue lightning and flew upward a little over ten meters. Since Wain was in the water from the outside, this electrical surge looked like a vertical column of lightning from which thousands of electric discharges spread across the water.

Many Merfolks were seriously injured, and some were on the verge of death, but none of them died. They were lucky enough to survive, but they did not pursue Wain further.

He was too dangerous for them. The Merfolks thought that if they brought the octopus here and made Wain fight in the water that way, they would be in a winning situation. But, reality turned out to be unpredictable and cruel.

Wain was swimming upward at a tremendous speed. He could not tell the exact distance, but he was under serious pressure because of the tons of water above him. If he had been an ordinary man, his bones would probably have been broken by now.

When Wain wounded Merfolks, they were attacked by an octopus. He was fast and strong. The octopus far outnumbered the Merfolks in strength, even considering their numbers.

They took a significant risk by luring such a dangerous monster here, and that bet played against them. Wain swam outward, and the octopus attacked them. The Merfolks’ plan proved to be an absolute failure on all counts.

The Merfolks quickly regrouped and retreated. Some of them had to drag their comrades behind them, who could hardly move. They were closest to Wain when he decided to use Lightning Lizard’s Dash.

‘Damn, I knew it was risky, but I didn’t expect it to hurt so much. My hand is still shaking from the shock, and I can’t get the shaking down. If I use Lightning Lizard’s Dash again underwater, I’m sure to get seriously hurt.’ Thought Wain as he swam toward the sunlight.

He didn’t turn around and check the situations behind him, as he didn’t have time for that. He needed air urgently, or he risked choking in a few minutes.

‘I can hold my breath for about four more minutes. Considering with how speed I’m swimming, I might not make it in time. That needs to be fixed somehow.’ Wain thought, and after a couple of seconds, an idea came to him.

Then he reached forward as if he wanted to grab something and a plasma sword appeared in his palm. Wain used his mind to make the sword fly on, thus speeding up a bit.

‘All right, at this rate, I should be able to make it in time. Even though I used the Code of Light and Darkness, at the moment, I do not spend a lot of energy. It will be good if I don’t have to fight anyone before I float away.’ Wain thought.

After half a minute, he decided to turn around, now he could afford to do so. Since by his calculations, he would reach the surface a minute before he could no longer hold his breath.

Wain frowned as the octopus swam behind him. It couldn’t kill any of the Merfolks, but it could catch up with Wain and massacre him.

Wain did not get greedy and conserve his strength, so he pointed his hand at the octopus and used Kinetic Shot.

The kinetic bullet instantly reached the monster and blew off one of its tentacles. The octopus did not expect Wain to attack it at that distance. But, the monster decided to retreat.

The octopus was furious at Wain’s actions, but for it, survival was paramount. The octopus didn’t know that Wain would only be able to use this skill two more times at best. Therefore, it decided to retreat, despite the wound it received. .

When Wain saw the octopus retreat, he breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Okay, I’ve got that problem sorted out, but I’m not in the best position. I couldn’t kill any of them, yet I used three skills. I wasted quite a lot of energy, and if some other monster attacked me, the situation could have become critical.

Moreover, I have no idea what’s up there. Perhaps when I surface, someone will attack me right away. Damn, this Dungeon turned out to be much bigger and more complicated than the last one…’ Thought Wain.

At that moment, he realized that because of his haste and inattention, he had not looked at what color the crystal was in the well or if there was one at all.

‘Last time, there was a white crystal and four stripes in the black crypt. But, the difficulty is definitely higher this time. I wonder which crystal was here? Shit, I’d done too lightly. I should have swum this well around and examined it closely.’ Thought Wain as he swam to the surface.

Luckily no strong monsters appeared after the octopus. Before Wain had to surface, he decided to take a close look at the buildings in which he had fought the Merfolks.

It looked like a long chain of rooms of about the same size, but after a few rooms, the chain broke off, and Wain didn’t know where it led.

‘All right, I’ll look into it later if I get a chance. Sven said that the remaining Soul Essence would become a reward After killing everything living in the Dungeon. But, is it possible to kill all the creatures that live in these endless waters?’ Wain thought.

As Wain swam up, he looked around, but he saw nothing but water all around him. He saw no ruins on the bottom, no buildings or sunken ships. Moreover, he couldn’t see the boundaries of the area. There was just water all around him.

Then Wain finally surfaced. He took deep, measured breaths for a while to regain his balance. His maximum for holding his breath in the water was five minutes, so it was quite difficult to sustain four minutes.

Wain turned around and saw an island in one direction. This island was smaller than average in size, and a mere man could run around it in about half a day.

Wain did not see any other noteworthy places. So, after a short rest, he sailed toward the island.

Wain canceled the Code of Light and Darkness to not lose energy. He didn’t know how long he would be in that Dungeon.

The island was about a kilometer away. It took Wain a few minutes to reach it. He didn’t see any monsters on the shore, so he swam without fear of a surprise attack.

“Finally,” Wain muttered as he stepped onto the white sand. “Getting out of there was pretty dangerous and hard, but it looks like it’s only the beginning.”

Wain realized that the main test awaited him on this island. On the one hand, he was glad, for he did not like the condition of not understanding anything.

Now he knew that his goal was to explore the island and thus find the strongest creatures in the area.

‘Hmm, I wonder if I can go back the same way as last time? After the octopus appeared, many halls were destroyed, the well and the portal could be broken.’ Thought Wain and stepped forward.

Most of the island was filled with jungle. It looked much like an ordinary island.

For some time, Wain made his way through the jungle thicket. He did not encounter any monsters on his way. He was surrounded by fruit trees and tall grass, but he saw no living creatures.

After a while, Wain emerged from the jungle area and made his way to the island’s center. Wain expected that there would be something interesting in this place, and he was completely right.

But, what he saw shocked him, as he couldn’t give a logical explanation for it.

“What the fuck is it flying around for?” Wain muttered, looking at the blue, electric stingray hovering in the air above the small pond in the island’s center.

Wain had seen many incredible things before, and he wouldn’t have been surprised if this stingray breathed fire like a dragon. But, the creature in front of him was simply floating in the air without using any skills.

The blue stingray, which should have been floating on the seabed, hovered in the air like a bird. The scene seemed strange to Wain and beautiful because of the high contrast.

Wain didn’t know if this stingray was a hostile creature or if it made sense to attack it. But, suddenly, the stingray looked at Wain, and then he realized that this creature was extremely dangerous.

The stingray’s aura instantly increased to significant values, and his entire body was covered in electric shocks.
