Nameless King

Isabella was speeding up her treatment of Lea. The girl's life wasn't really in danger, but Isabella wasn't going to hesitate. She was afraid there would be complications.

"What is going on here? Where is Lea?" Suddenly Vineta entered the ruined workshop.

Lea was one of the most valuable members of Last Light, and Vineta was worried that something might have happened to her.

"Vineta..." Teresa muttered as she approached her, "In a nutshell, Lea was making equipment for Wain, but there were problems in the process, and Lea was injured."

"What? How is that possible?"

"The cause is in the materials. Suddenly there were purple flames that burned her hands badly. I guess the materials didn't want to give in and were opposing her back that way."

Vineta nodded. This situation was strange, but she was glad that it was not an attack or an accident. Moreover, Isabella, their best doctor, was already here.

"It was dangerous, but she was able to succeed, right?" Vineta asked, looking at Wain.

At that moment, he was standing off to the side, smoking.

"Yes, the cape on Wain is a masterpiece that Lea just created. I didn't see the description but judging by Wain's laughter and the reaction, it's something fantastic." Teresa explained.

"I see, Isabella. Is Lea going to be okay?"

"Yes, her condition is stable. I'll have her back up and running in no time." Isabella said, and an energy needle pierced Lea's skin.

"Okay, Wain, I want to talk to you about something. Teresa, I think you do too."

Teresa nodded.

Wain exhaled a white puff of smoke and said with a smile, "You want to know about the seal? Okay."

He headed for the exit, but before he did, he walked over to Lea and said, "I don't know if you can hear me, but if you keep this up, one day you will create a weapon capable of overthrowing the gods."

...

"Wain, I want to ask you about Seal of Darkness, apparently you know a lot more about it than Teresa and I." Vineta said.

"Huh, I honestly have no desire to explain everything to you in detail. It would be too long and boring. It would be much better if you could see for yourself. However, I can tell you why our seals are so different and what your mistake is."

"What do you mean?" Teresa asked.

"Vineta got the Seal of Darkness relatively recently, but you Teresa got the seal almost immediately after the apocalypse began."

"Yes." Teresa nodded, "But, I still haven't made any progress, unlike you."

"You need to visit a Void. This place is in the World of Darkness and is similar to Dungeon. You must defeat the leader of Void and be recognized as its new owner. After that, the fun begins."

"I see, you travel a lot and often disappear somewhere. Part of your time is spent fighting in the World of Darkness, right?" Vineta asked.

Wain nodded, "I suggest you do the same. Tomorrow we'll head south, and in about three days, the last part of the city will be under our control. By then, we will have about ten days left before the island appears.

During this time, you should visit a Void and fight there. That way, you will become stronger, and your importance in the World of Darkness will increase."

"Is it dangerous in the Voids?"

"Yes, but given your strength, you have nothing to worry about. You'll get into a pretty weak zone at first, but some powerful beings inhabit the World of Darkness and Voids. I've been on the brink between life and death a few times." Wain said quietly.

Vineta and Teresa were surprised. They understood that Wain was serious. It was clear from his voice, speech, and facial expression.

Vineta, as leader of one of the branches of Last Light, was quite busy.

Selena assisted her, but the leader's duties took up a great deal of her time. However, Vineta didn't see this as a problem. She was strong enough, and soon she would have a lot of free time.

When the city was fully under the control of Last Light and all important matters could be handled by the administrator, Vineta would concentrate on her progress. Elsa and Gisle had the same position.

Also, if necessary, as leaders, they could request a certain amount of souls to keep up with the progress of the others.

The more Overion would have controlled areas with Dungeons and Nests where people could hunt without risking anything, the more souls the organization's leaders would have.

It was still a long way off, but Gisle, Elsa, and Vineta had already begun to move in that direction.

First, they had to kill all the monsters in the city. Then they had to solve the food problem, and after that, they could get on with creating a peaceful city life.

Ordinary people would finally get back to their usual pace and feel what a peaceful life was like again.

The only difference would be that Dungeons and Nests would occupy some places in the city.

Ordinary people would have a new opportunity compared to the past life. They could save up money, buy equipment, and go to the Dungeon hunting to get abilities.

Of course, many people would refuse this, it's too dangerous, but many enthusiasts would be willing to risk their lives for such an opportunity.

They would want to become as strong as the organization's members. Few, however, would ever be able to reach the level of these people.

Only a few on the entire planet, like Wain, were aware of the existence of other worlds and the many races that inhabit the World of Darkness.

"I see. You're right. I haven't really tried to figure out the functionality of the Seal of Darkness." Vineta muttered and headed for the exit.

Teresa nodded and followed her.

Wain didn't go anywhere. He smoked another cigarette and then went to bed.

He wanted to build up his strength before tomorrow's invasion of the south. Last Light had to get air transport, a lot depended on it. They couldn't go by water. It was suicide.

...

The following day Wain awoke to the constant noise. People were getting ready to head south. Some were mentally preparing for battle. Some were checking and cleaning their weapons. Others were giving out instructions.

Likewise, a large amount of wood was prepared during the day. Clovis, along with several strong members, was already on the edge of the west part.

He had been building a bridge from the wood he had been continuously supplied with since morning.

Clovis, like Lea, was not standing still. Gisle hadn't allocated him as many resources as her, so he was still a long way from level 30, but he had long since gone through his first evolution.

His skills had improved, and he could now easily build massive structures. Building a bridge several hundred meters long wasn't a problem for him, but it took time.

In fact, Last Light had recently begun to run out of wood. However, Gisle wasn't worried about that, especially after Marco showed up.

Marco could speed up the growth of plants, fruits and vegetables, and simple trees. Even without Marco, though, Gisle had a solution. He could use tree-type monsters as expendable material.

"Oh, it's a pretty noisy morning. It was much quieter in Ice Caves..." Wain muttered and went outside.

By the time he woke up, almost everything was ready. Gisle was in charge of the operation as commander in chief, Elsa and Vineta gathered the men.

Wain stood aside and waited for the operation to begin.

"Wain, you're back, but you're going to disappear again, aren't you?" Suddenly Zero appeared beside him.

"Oh, Zero, I see you've made some good progress."

"Yes. Will you come with us?"

Wain nodded, "I'll help you capture the southern part, and I'll also go with you to the island. I wonder what will happen there. That place must hold many dangers and valuable treasures."

"Are you that much interested in treasure?"

"Huh, I won't deny that I have a greedy little demon in me who wants as much money and treasure as possible, but of course, that's not the main reason. I want to find out what will happen in the place that will appear because of the energy." Wain muttered.

"Some of those who know about the island are afraid of its appearance. They think it could be a disaster comparable to the beginning of the apocalypse."

"It doesn't matter. Zero, believe me, there are things far scarier than the apocalypse, and it takes strength and freedom not to fear them."

"Got it. Looks like our conversation is over." Zero said quietly, pointing to Gisle stepping forward.

"Yes... It's time."

Gisle stood in front of the people on the platform and began his speech. He explained the general state of affairs, purpose, objectives, and priorities.

"All of you know why you are gathered here. We will now go to the southern part of the city and begin a full-scale takeover of this area. After that, our organization will control the entire Overion, and many of you and your friends and family will know what a peaceful life is again.

We have three main goals and objectives. First, we must take over the two dominant organizations on the southern side. It is preferable if they surrender, and we can negotiate. Otherwise, we will kill their leaders, and they will have no choice but to submit to us.

Second, we must clear most of the city of monsters, especially the densely populated areas. Third, we must take over the military base, and then the entire city will be ours!

You are all divided into groups, consisting of two divisions, "Alpha" and "Beta". Group "Alpha" consists of the strongest members of the organization, including myself. Our task will be basic combat and battles with the most dangerous adversaries.

The task of the "Beta" groups will be to explore new territories and kill weak but numerous monsters. That will be all. Let's go!" Gisle finished his speech and headed toward the cliff with his fist held high.

The people followed them. They were divided into three squads, each of which followed its leader's part of the city.

Not all organization members participated in this operation, only the strongest. The rest were busy making their progress, controlling territories, helping the common people, and killing monsters.

Wain and Zero followed them. They walked at the end, trailing the fighting column.

'Huh, how long has it been since the last time I participated in an event like this? It makes me feel nostalgic. Eh, I'm only 25, but sometimes I feel like I've lived thousands of years and hundreds of lives.' Wain pondered.

Zero was as cold and calm as ever. She pondered Wain's words. When he rescued her from the lab, she had no global goal.

She went forward and fought to stay alive and grow stronger. Of course, life was a worthy cause for following the path of strength.

However, Zero wanted to experience something new and different. She hoped that the island could make her experience unforgettable feelings.

After a while, the group reached the cliff. By then, Clovis had finished building the bridge. He was tired and resting, his work done.

Wain strolled across the massive wooden bridge and looked down into the canyon. Although there were practically no monsters in the three parts of the city anymore, the situation below was quite different.

There were still a lot of dangerous creatures there, but they couldn't climb up, so there was no need to rush to clear the area.

'Hmm? What is it?' Wain wondered as he watched the flames appear below.

It was unusual and yellow like gold. Then Wain saw that part of the ground in the steep canyon wall had turned to ink, and a tall man with long blond hair and azure eyes emerged from there.

The man bounced off the wall, and there was an explosion of golden flame beneath his feet, causing him to jump high up.

"Is that a Luar?" Wain muttered.
