Nameless King

Wain summoned the Destruction Sword and then plunged it into the ground below him. The blade slid effortlessly into the solid rock of the cave. Wain smiled. If his sword weren't sharp enough, he wouldn't have been able to go down.

Perhaps another man would have chosen to go back and out of the Dungeon, but Wain was certainly not that man. If he didn't make the most of the opportunities he was given, he wouldn't become strong.

He had a unique and powerful soul, but the rest depended on his own actions. If he delayed or missed fortunate moments, other people in this world could overtake him.

'Hm, when I arrived at Overion, it had been about twelve hours since the apocalypse. I searched for ancient ruins and sailed a spirit boat to the human world during that time. That means that I'm already behind in progress compared to some people in this world.'

About a hundred billion people were living in this world. Wain understood that there would be many talented and genuine people among that number of people. Many of them would receive very rare souls, and some would become very powerful because of their intelligence or skills.

After Wain made sure that his plan would work, he clutched his dark sword tightly and jumped down. As he fell, he thrust his sword as hard as he could into the sheer wall and thus slowed his fall.

He did not stop falling as under Wain's weight, the sword cut through the solid rock, but the speed of the fall was greatly reduced. After a few seconds, Wain landed down and turned around to see something incredible.

In front of him was a huge room, the size of which was difficult to describe. It was the central room of the Demonic Ant colony. This room was shaped like a sphere, and many ants were crawling on the ceiling.

This was where the Worker Ants escaped when Wain attacked them.

"I see, so that's why no one attacked me. They were waiting for me here, decided to end things in their main base." Mumbled Wain looking at the two ants coming his way.

He walked towards them as well. Wain looked around and realized that the two ants in front of him were special. They weren't as big as the Sentinel Ants, but they were several times stronger.

They were Knights Ants, who, like everyone else, were subordinate to the queen. They were her guards, but now they had to deal with an intruder.

The Demonic Ant Queen stood behind them on a tall spire in the center of the room. She was much larger than the other ants, even the Sentinel Ants seemed small in comparison.

The knight ants had sharp front paws, and the rest of their limbs were also real weapons. Their two red horns glowed brightly, and they had sturdy, red plates and nearly impenetrable chitin all over their bodies.

They looked fiercely at Wain and were about to attack him. All they were waiting for was a command from the queen.

"Looks like you will be my most serious opponents since the Last Knight. It looks like I'm going to have to do my best." Mumbled Wain and prepared for battle by thrusting his sword forward.

Wain was ready for a serious battle. If he had a chance to win, he never backed down.

'Hmm, actually, the situation is pretty bad. These two ants are very strong. Their auras are very threatening and strong. But, they're not the only problem I have to face.' Thought Wain.

He didn't know how strong the queen was. Usually, an ant queen was not a strong fighter in nature, but Wain doubted that this queen was just as helpless. Moreover, there were more than three hundred other ants in this room.

Many of them were Worker Ants, but Sentinel Ants and Soldier Ants were also plentiful.

'It's a good thing they don't attack all at once. They think these two red ants can handle me. But when I kill them, they won't keep order anymore and will attack me all at once.' Thought Wain preparing for the attack of the Ant-Knights.

Whoooosh.

One of the Ant-Knights rushed toward Wain and tried to grab him with his powerful jaw and crush him. But, Wain bounced aside in time. However, he was attacked by another ant right after that.

Wain skillfully blocked this blow with his sword, but he had to block the other ant's blow a moment later.

The knight ants were not only stronger than the others, but they also worked well as a team. They complimented each other's attacks and combined them for maximum effectiveness.

'Damn, they were starting to speed up.' Wain thought, watching the attacks of the Ant Knights.

With each passing second, their attacks became faster and more deadly. The longer the two ants fought, the stronger they became. That was their specialty. They were also able to adapt quickly and gradually got used to Wain's fighting style.

They could see at what point he was blocking their attacks and at what angle. However, Wain was not so simple that some two ants could overwhelm him with a hail of attacks.

Suddenly Wain turned into a flash of lightning and bounced back ten meters. Simultaneously, the Ant-Knights saw a green bomb fly in their direction.

They didn't have time to defend or react. A moment later, the acid bomb exploded.

A large amount of acid poured out on them. Moreover, the blast radius was big enough to hit several Ant Workers standing aside.

Their bodies couldn't withstand something like that, so they were melted in a matter of seconds. Their souls headed towards Wain, flying into his body.

Wain purposely used Lightning Lizard's Dash to avoid being hit by the bomb. Drops of acid fell in front of his feet, melting stone.

"Phew, that was dangerous, but it looks like it's not over yet." Mumbled Wain looking at the two Ant-Knights.

They took some pretty serious damage. Almost all of the red plates on their bodies were corroded by acid. But, they were still alive. One powerful bomb was not enough to kill such strong creatures.
