Nameless King

Wain had identified places where he could theoretically get a soul with the poison attribute, but in order to get the Plasma Destruction Sword, he needed one more soul.

'The last soul I need is a soul with the attribute of darkness. But, darkness is a matter that is unknown to the world before the apocalypse. Where should I look for a monster with such souls?' Wain pondered, jumping from building to building.

He thought for a long time and, at one point, looked up at the bright sun in the sky. That's when Wain realized that the answer was just around the corner.

'Huh, looks like I was too stupid. It's obvious that night is the dwelling place of all dark creatures. At this time, I will be able to find the right monster, at least I hope so.' Wain thought.

It had not yet been a full twenty-four hours since the apocalypse began. It was less than three hours until sunset. It was summer on this planet at the moment, so the day was long and the nights short.

'Hmm, I also need one soul with double attribute. If I can find a soul with the lightning and darkness attribute, I can get the Soul of Black Thunder's Renegade. Perhaps I should wait for a thunderstorm at night, then the two elements will merge, and a suitable monster might appear somewhere' Thought Wain.

After a while, he saw a park in the distance. At that moment, Wain decided to slow down and stop on the roof of a building. He wanted to get a good look at the creatures he would fight. Moreover, he needed to find a spatial discontinuity.

Wain pulled out his folding binoculars and looked closely at the monsters in the park.

"Are those robots...?" Wain muttered.

Wain looked at creatures very similar to robots, but not ordinary ones. They were robotic samurai, their bodies covered with armor, and they had long, electric katanas. But, in fact, these creatures were robots only partially. They were cyborgs - beings who combined the world of machines and robots with the world of flesh and blood. They were biological organisms containing various mechanisms.

"No, I see flesh under the layer of armor, these are cyborgs, and there are many such monsters in this park. It's definitely a Dungeon, and it's already sprawling, but I don't see an entrance to the main space." Mumbled Wain.

He tried to concentrate, and his Seal of Darkness flashed brightly again. Wain sensed the direction of the energy, but he couldn't know exactly where the passage was, only the approximate location.

"From the looks of it, I need to head toward the center of the park. If the spatial rift is in the Dungeon, then the entrance to the Dungeon is somewhere in the center of the park." Wain muttered.

He looked at the samurai robots wandering through the park and frowned. Wain didn't know how strong these creatures were, but they looked strong, and there were quite a few of them.

Moreover, each robot was slightly different from the others. Some were shorter and smaller, some were bigger and taller, but the differences were not critical. The robots also had armor of varying density and strength, but their weapons were most important.

Most of the samurai robots were armed with katanas, mostly electric, but some had axes or hammers.

"Hmm, according to the map, there is a small lake in the center of the park. That's where I should go." Mumbled Wain and jumped off the building.

Wain walked slowly towards the park. The monsters noticed him, but despite that, they didn't attack. Wain thought this was strange, then he stepped forward and found himself in the park. At the same time, Wain saw an unusual message.

[You have entered the area of the Robot Samurai Nest]

"Nest? What is that? Isn't it a Dungeon?" Wain muttered. He tried to figure out where he was, but he didn't have time to think.

As he entered the park, two robotic samurai immediately ran toward him. They both had electric katanas, which they synchronously brought down on Wain.

When their blades almost reached Wain, he turned into blue lightning. The robotic samurai's attacks hit through the air, but Wain did not flee. Instead, he used Lightning Lizard's Dash to attack.

As he whizzed past the two Samurai robots, he punched them in the stomach with his fist as hard as he could. Since he was using Lightning Lizard's Dash, his speed was tremendous, and blows were crushing.

Under the pressure of Wain's fists, the armor on the robotic samurai's bodies crumpled like a sheet of paper. The two monsters flew backwards and barely got to their feet. But, at that moment, Wain swung his hand, and a suddenly appeared dark sword cut off their heads.

Two white souls flew into his body.

[Soul of White Robot Samurai (Destroyed)

Wain immediately crushed these souls and gained some Soul Essence.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of White Robot Samurai level 9]

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of White Robot Samurai level 8]

[You have leveled up to level 9. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]

"Oh, I've leveled up. Great I didn't expect it to happen so soon. However, the further it goes, the harder it gets. I need an incredible amount of Soul Essence to get to level 15. Compared to that, getting to level 9 is easy." Wain muttered.

He headed further toward the lake. Wain didn't have a goal of killing all the samurai robots. He had more important tasks than just accumulating Soul Essence.

Only if he completed all of his tasks, which was unlikely he would focus on harvesting Soul Essence.

To Wain's surprise, some monsters didn't attack him. They watched him intently but didn't dare to attack. Wain didn't know what the reason was, but then he realized.

A massive robotic samurai was walking towards him over three meters tall. He had a large hammer in his hands, and his armor was dark red. More than ten plain, white samurai robots headed toward Wain at the same moment.

He prepared for battle and was already ready to activate the Code of Light and Darkness, but the samurai robots had no intention of attacking him.

They stood around Wain and the big robot and stuck their katanas into the ground. It was like some ritual. Then, the red robot samurai pointed his hammer at Wain then struck the ground.

"So you're challenging me to a fight? Okay, I accept your challenge!" Said Wain and similarly thrust his weapon into the ground.

The white robot samurai's katanas then became electrified, and the red robot samurai raised his hammer high. He did not hesitate and instantly brought his weapon down on Wain.

Wain bounced to the side, but then he realized that the arena was limited because of the white robot samurai. However, this was a minus and a plus simultaneously because the red robot samurai would not be able to go outside the peculiar arena either.

Wain's opponent was quite large, but he did not see this battle as dangerous. He saw many unprotected places in the armor of the red robot samurai. All he had to do was get close and attack into the gaps between the armor.

When the red samurai struck the hammer once more, Wain stepped back a few meters and then abruptly climbed up the hammer. Thus he ran toward the monster's head. The robot samurai tried to throw Wain off but failed, so he made a rather unusual decision.

The robot samurai threw the hammer upwards. He hoped that this would cause Wain to lose his balance and fall. But, Wain was not confused. He jumped off the hammer and landed on the robot's head. Wain then began to deliver numerous blows to weaknesses.

First, Wain punched through the robotic part of the monster, and then he got to the flesh. As Wain turned the monster's flesh into a bloody mess, the red robot samurai fell to the ground with a rumble.

The blue soul flew out of the monster's body and into Wain's chest.

[Soul of Red Robotic Samurai (Damaged)

Rating: Rare]

Wain immediately crushed the soul.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Red Robotic Samurai level 11. Strength+3, Vitality+2]

[You get Rare Rating Spiritual Box]

"Wow, I got the Rare Spiritual Box. That's interesting." Mumbled Wain looking at the small, blue box in his hand.

He wasn't worried about being attacked by the other monsters, because to his surprise, the robotic samurai were quite noble creatures. He defeated one of their strongest fighters in a fair one-on-one fight.

So instead of attacking Wain like monsters or humans, they pulled their katanas from the ground and went away. The behavior of these creatures was unique, but Wain had nothing to complain about. On the contrary, he liked this system. He didn't have to waste his energy on any little thing. He could go and kill strong and powerful opponents.

Wain looked around and saw that most of the robot knights weren't even looking at him now.

'Hmm, they seem to have some rigid hierarchy operating in this place. First, I beat the weakest robots, then some stronger ones. Does this mean I'll have to fight someone even stronger next? So I won't be attacked by white or red samurai robots anymore?" Wain muttered thoughtfully.

He didn't know if that was the rule among robot samurai or if it was all the fault of this area called Nest he was in.
