Nameless King

When the white soul flew into Wain's body, he saw detailed information about it.

[Soul of Puppeteer(Whole)

Chronicle: Primary

Rating: Common]

'Great, is Whole Soul. I hope I get something useful.' Thought Wain and crushed the soul.

Even though it was Whole Soul, there was no guarantee that Wain would get an item or skill. In this case, it all depended on luck.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Puppeteer level 9. Energy +6.]

[You have leveled up to level 8. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]

[You get Common Rating Soul Chest]

"Wow, this is unexpected. I increased my Energy by 6 points. That's impressive. What's more, I got Soul Chest. It looks like I'm fortunate today." Mumbled Wain.

Compared to the other stats, It was much harder to increase Energy. When a person used Damaged Soul or Whole Soul, they would increase some stats. This process was not random. It all depended on what creature's soul the person used.

If a person killed a fast and strong but weakly protected monster. He would most likely get a Strength and Agility boost. But by crushing the soul of such a monster, a person is unlikely to increase his Vitality and Stamina.

Energy was slightly different from the other stats, so a person had to kill rather rare and unusual monsters to increase this stat. These monsters' strength had to be concentrated not on their bodies but on their skills.

Of course, all monsters that evolved at least once had some skill. But, they also had very strong bodies. To increase Energy, a monster had to have powerful skills, or its body had to be weaker than its skills. This happened very rarely.

This problem disappeared when the monsters evolved several times. In that case, it was possible to increase Energy in quite a few situations.

Then Wain decided to see what was in the Soul Chest. Bonecrusher was far away and wasn't paying attention to Wain as he moved away to a place that was out of the monster's field of vision.

The next moment, a tiny, white chest appeared in the palm of Wain's hand. He was surprised, he had never heard of a Soul Chest being so small.

"It's so small that not even a ring or a bracelet could fit in it. Perhaps so an earring?" Wain thought.

The size of the Soul Chest adjusted to what was inside. Last time Wain had thought there would be some costume jewelry inside the Soul Chest, but he was wrong. Now, however, he had no other guesses. Only an earring could fit in such a small chest.

However, when Wain opened the Soul Chest, he did not see an earring like that. A small, gray stone looked like a crystal.

Wain looked at this stone in surprise, and when he took it in his hands, a description appeared in front of him.

[Ghost Crystal (Primary Chronicle, Common Rating)

[This crystal is a special material that can give objects a special property that makes them practically invisible. This crystal also has other magical properties in addition to partial invisibility]

"I got the material, not the object? Strange, I never heard of such a thing. However, this is a different world, and a lot can be different here. Moreover, even in my world a small part of the events and things that appeared after the appearance of souls has been investigated." Mumbled Wain.

Wain had mixed feelings. He expected to get some weapon or armor on the one hand. But, instead, he got material. On the other hand, this crystal had unusual properties, which Wain could not recognize.

'Hmm, I won't be able to find a use for this crystal at the moment. I need a person whose soul is connected with blacksmithing or some craft. Most likely, such people haven't even activated their Soul Altar yet. It will be a long time before I can use their services. First, the world needs to go back to normal. If I can call it that,' Wain thought.

He put the Phantom Crystal into the Ring of Damned and stepped out of the hiding place. Wain was left to deal with Bonecrusher, after which the monster attack would be suppressed.

"Judging by the number of monsters left, Gisle and his team are working well together. While I was dealing with the puppeteer, they killed over four hundred zombies. Less than a third of the total remains." Wain muttered and ran toward Bonecrusher.

When Bonecrusher spotted Wain again, he roared furiously and headed in his direction. The monster wanted to kill Wain for causing him so much pain.

Wain smirked, and when he got to the monster, he used Lightning Lizard's Dash. Thus Wain dodged Bonecrusher's attack and left a long, deep cut and electric shock burns on the monster's body.

Bonecrusher could regenerate without the puppeteer's help, but it was quite a long process. It would take him at least ten minutes to heal deep wounds. Of course, compared to humans without skills, it was very fast. But, in a fight, especially against a dangerous opponent like Wain, ten minutes was comparable to an eternity.

Wain began to attack Bonecrusher with all his might. The monster tried to defend itself, but Wain's attacks were too fast and strong. He made one cut after another, and the whole monster's body was flooded with blood.

Because of the bloody spikes, Wain could not climb the monster's back, but he had a way to defeat such a large opponent easily. Wain would inflict numerous wounds on him and wait for Bonecrusher to die from bleeding.

Bonecrusher understood that he could not defeat Wain. He was too fast and too strong. Throughout their battle, he had not yet hit Wain once. If this continued, the monster would die. So Bonecrusher made the only decision that would help him survive - escape.

People were afraid of monsters, and that fear was understandable. Monsters were strong, dangerous, and cruel. They could kill people by the hundreds and devour them alive. Monsters were a real nightmare for humanity. But that didn't mean they didn't have fear and couldn't be afraid of someone.

Many people were very afraid of spiders. But, in fact, these insects could even die of fear because they had a weak nervous system. This did not change that spiders were some of the strongest predators in the insect world. But, even they could feel fear of creatures that were a thousand times stronger than them.

Bonecrusher tried to run away, but Wain would not let him. Wain quickly got to the monster and inflicted several deep cuts on its legs. Eventually, Bonecrusher fell, destroying several small buildings with his massive body.

Bonecrusher tried to get up but failed. He was too big for his shredded legs to hold his body. Previously Bonecrusher had protected his weaknesses, but when he decided to run away, he left his legs unprotected, which Wain took advantage of.

Wain paced slowly toward the helpless monster and smiled predatorily. He lowered his weapon down, and the end of the dark sword slashed through the stone, causing sparks to appear, and the screeching sound it made was terrifying.
