Nameless King

Wain was surprised at how strong the girl's punch was, but it wasn't enough to defeat him. She was about to fire a plasma arrow at him with her bow, but Wain beat his enemy to it.

He pointed his hand at the girl, and a white beam of compressed energy flew out of his finger. The girl managed to react and dodge at the last moment, but Wain appeared in front of her a moment later. He swung his sword from bottom to top and severed her arm.

The girl clenched her teeth in pain and tried to run away, but Wain wasn't about to let her do that. Three black spheres appeared on his sword, and he threw the weapon at the girl.

She didn't have time to dodge, and there was a deafening explosion. The attack was deadly, she couldn't take that much damage that hit her instantly.

Whoooooosh.

The blue soul flew into Wain's body, and he looked around. The others were already finished with their opponents. Many Constructs lay on the ground, and they would never rise again. No one was injured, everyone in their group had excellent skills and was quite strong.

"Okay, let's move on. Edena, Elegan, are you okay?" Wain said.

The girl and the monster ran up to them, and Wain nodded. Together they headed into the depths of the building, where there was a descent into the underground compartment. Everything of interest and importance was there, from simple firearms to missiles to airplanes.

"Gisle, if all the equipment and planes are destroyed here, what are we going to do? Do you have any options? Our only chance to get to the island is by air."

"I haven't had any ideas recently, but when you told me about the other races and showing the World of Darkness, I knew what we could do."

"Hmm?"

"It's a little over ten days until the island shows up. If we don't find transportation now, you and I will travel through various Voids. My idea is to find a Void with flying monsters and tame them, whether by force or willingly."

"I see... That's not a bad option, but I wouldn't want to waste my time on it." Wain muttered.

"Sorry to interrupt, but it looks like we have company." Reto said, pointing at the multitude of robots moving in their direction.

"That's not a problem." Gisle said, smiling, and put his hand on the hilt of his new katana. He bent slightly and thrust his body forward, took a deep breath, and swung his katana sharply.

An airborne blade flew forward, slicing more than twenty robots in half in an instant. The pile of scrap metal fell to the ground, and Gisle moved on.

Wain and Luar were not surprised, they knew what Gisle could do. However, the others, especially Edana, were stunned.

The girl was the weakest on the team, and it bothered him, but she tried not to show it as she understood that she was an alchemist, not a fighter.

She wanted to be strong like everyone else, but she didn't know how to reach the same level.

"Gisle, do you have any information about this military base?"

"Huh, good one. Maybe you've forgotten, but I was just a simple student before the apocalypse. How do you expect me to know anything about a military base?"

"Well... then we'll just have to hope for luck."

"That's not true." Edena said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"I know how Constructs usually arrange captured bases. If there was equipment and planes here, they definitely sent it to the lowest floor. I'm not sure, but that's probably where the military hangar and tunnel should be as well."

"Good, then let's not waste any time." Wain nodded and kicked the ground with all his might.

Many cracks appeared on the floor, but not enough to penetrate the solid pavement. What's more, suddenly, the cracks began to fuse together as if they were alive.

"What the hell is this?"

"They've already reinforced this base with the help of the nanites. It will repair itself like a living organism. It's unlikely we'll be able to force our way through. We need to keep moving."

"No, do they really think microscopic robotic particles can stop us. Frigus, Gisle, let's go together. The three of us will cut our way down."

Frigus and Gisle nodded and stood in triangle-shaped positions. They each thrust their weapons deep into the ground and swung forward sharply.

Crackle.

A meter of concrete filled with nanites thundered down and shattered into many pieces. Wain, Gisle, and Frigus jumped into the breach, and the others followed.

"But...this isn't right...we should have taken the ready path..." Edena muttered.

...

The walk down took about an hour. Occasionally they encountered Constructs and robots who tried to kill them, but Wain's group dealt with this problem easily. Their main goal was to find the transport, after which they wanted to head out in search of high-tech equipment.

"Wait! We need to get there!" Edena suddenly said, pointing toward a narrow passageway.

"Why? There are hardly any planes or weapons there." Wain asked.

"I can feel energy fluctuations coming from there. There's most likely a main block of nanites and the portal they used to get here."

"That's good. Then we should definitely point out to our guests their wrongdoing." Gisle muttered with a slight smile on his face.

The others nodded and headed forward. They encountered a few protective turrets and robots along the way, but it was no threat to them.

...

"Is that an energy barrier? Another one?" Wain asked, looking at the blue barrier blocking their path.

"Yes, and I won't be able to disable it. The energy block is inside. Maybe we should find another way."

"Edena, you seem smart, but sometimes your suggestions sound pretty stupid." Wain rudely replied, "We'll just break through that barrier with force. Elegan, can you handle it?"

"Sure, it's no problem."

Elegan pulled a watch out of his pocket and pressed a button. The number '1' flashed on it, and a purple magic circle appeared over the monsters.

Elegan hit it, and there was a powerful blow, like an explosion. The attack disrupted the barrier but could not penetrate it.

"Oh, that was unexpected, well that's no problem." Elegan muttered and used the skill again. However, this time he invested much more energy.

Three seals appeared in front of him that overlapped to create a powerful formation, and then Elegan hit it with all his might.

The barrier, along with part of the wall, was torn down and completely destroyed, and a powerful stream of wind blew on the group due to the shockwave.

"Huh, I thought you said your abilities weren't focused on attacking. That doesn't sound true."

"I didn't fool you. It's just that I've used the same skill multiple times now. Honestly, it's pretty draining." Elegan muttered.

"Okay, go ahead." Wain uttered.

Behind the barrier was a large room which, as Edena had assumed, contained a core of nanites, as well as a portal. Another barrier protected it, but that was not the most important thing.

There were four huge robots in the room, something like a samurai. They had the same type of armor and the corresponding weapons, plasma katanas.

"I must admit I'm surprised." Suddenly a girl's voice rang out.

The group looked around, but saw no one. However, then a passage opened in the wall, not far from the portal, and several Constructs emerged from there.

Each of them looked strong and powerful. At the front was a girl with short green hair and blue eyes. She wore a fitted, protective suit, as well as mechanical gloves.

She had a square sign on her chest, indicating that she was the defensive type. Although mostly the main attacking force among Constructs was people with triangular modules, some Constructs with square modules also had great firepower.

It was rare, but such Constructs were formidable opponents. Their defense and attack were top-notch, the only drawback was their lack of speed. However, this shortcoming could be eradicated with technology and skills.

"Looks like something interesting is finally starting to happen." Wain said smiling, and his aura began to increase rapidly.

A tight bandage and a gray robe appeared over his eyes. Also, his hair became ashen.

He smiled and waved his hand.
