Nameless King-Chapter 857 Warm Up
Lands of the Gods was a great distance from the general world and especially from Last Light. Wain entered Lands of the Gods through Death Shore, using the Abyss Artist's portal, so it took him quite a while to get part of the way.
'Damn... This place is really huge... It's strange that I acted so careless when I first got here. For someone in the Fourth Chronicle, this place is pretty damn dangerous.' Wain muttered inwardly, creating platforms of darkness beneath him and bouncing off them.
Each time he bounced off a platform he created a shockwave as a ring of darkness spread around before dissipating into wisps of energy. Wain's energy was very dense, so it attracted the attention of some of the monsters that were already chasing him.
'Hmmm... Not bad, five hundred years ago even in Lands of the Gods, it would have been difficult to find so many monsters on the Absolute Stage in one place, but now it seems to be no problem at all.' Wain uttered to himself as he turned to look at the monsters. They tried to hide among the tall trees and rock masses, but it wasn't enough to fool Wain's gaze.
Platforms stopped appearing above him as Wain landed in the nearest field. At the same moment, all the monsters stopped, trying not to give away their presence.
"Hey, stop wasting my time. I need to stretch so attack all at once, maybe then you can at least wound me." Wain said arrogantly as his calm voice reached each monster.
However, no one rushed to act as silence fell. The monsters waited for the right moment to attack until there was a bright flash as if from a glint of metal in the forest.
Whooooooooosh.
Several blades flew toward Wain's side at breakneck speed. Wain didn't dodge, it seemed to be happening too fast for him to react.
Crackling.
Suddenly Wain raised his hand as three blades nestled between his fingers, stopping a few millimeters from his eyes.
"Not bad. That's enough to kill someone on the Absolute Stage, quietly, quickly, and deadly." Wain muttered with indifference and pressed his hand to his chest, spreading his blades in a fan shape, "However, it's not enough to bring destruction."
Wain stepped forward, covered the blades in thick darkness, and with a sweep of his hand threw them forward. The blades did not fly straight ahead as they began to spin rapidly into black discs.
At the same moment, several shadows flew out of the forest just before the blades reached the trees completely slicing through part of the forest. In the end, the blades exploded with black flames shaking the ground like after a weak earthquake.
"It's different now, isn't it?" Wain smirked as he looked at the three monsters in front of him.
One monster was skinny, whose body was covered with many sharp blades. The second was a massive beast with a thick hide and massive paws capable of crushing even a very large boulder with ease. The last one was a lizard with a long body that had white electric shocks running through it all the time.
"Hah, you're the only ones who decided to stay, right?" Wain grinned before reaching forward, "Well, I respect you for your courage, but your stupidity will get you killed." 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
Goosebumps ran down the monsters' bodies from Wain's powerful aura, but instead of running away in fear, they decided to quickly attack Wain before he could do anything yet.
The skinny monster lunged forward, launching many sharp blades at Wain while the lightning lizard pounced on him from the other side, preparing to unleash the most powerful electrical charge on Wain. The ground shuddered from the massive beast's leap as it folded its paws together about to smash Wain into the ground.
'A triple attack? Are these monsters working as a team? Amazing, it seems in the time Lands of the Gods has been isolated everyone here has gone through some sort of mental evolution.' Wain grinned inwardly before taking a step to his left.
Whooooooooosh.
The sharp blades flew past him, they seemed so close that they should have caught him at least a little bit, but Wain calculated it perfectly.
"You'll be the first." Wain's sly eyes said this to the monster with the blades before stepping forward.
Wain's silhouette blurred as a moment later he was right in front of the monster clutching one of his arms tightly.
"You won't need this anymore." Wain whispered, smirked, and with a sharp movement ripped his hand away. Dark blood gushed powerfully from the wound as a few drops landed on Wain's face.
The monster tried to retreat by jumping back, but Wain quickly grabbed the monster's leg and brought it crashing to the ground, shaking it.
At the same moment, the lizard should have attacked Wain, but suddenly Wain lunged forward stepping on the skinny monster's body and trampling it deeper into the ground.
"Here we go!" Wain swung the monster's severed arm as if with his sword, releasing a blade of wind.
The lizard's pupils narrowed as it jumped aside, but Wain was already standing behind it like a silhouette of death.
Crackle.
Wain's palm like a spear plunged into the lizard's flesh with ease through the monster's dense scales until it reached the lizard's heart.
"Well, you're going to miss this." Wain said calmly before squeezing his palm, crushing the lizard's heart.
Roooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr!!!
This enraged the massive beast that with great force unleashed its full power on Wain. The beast's paws were like huge hammers that were impossible to stop, but Wain kept standing still, he just raised his hand up.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
They collided as the ground beneath Wain cracked and his feet a few millimeters into it, however, it seemed that Wain did not feel in danger at all.
"You're so big, but you have no strength at all. Is there nothing but the air in your muscles?" Wain raised his head as one of his eyes turned as black as the abyss itself, "Well, that doesn't change anything anyway."
From his palm came several wisps of darkness that quickly turned into a huge jaw. It closed around the monster like a massive piranha, devouring it completely, literally tearing it into several bloody shreds.
