Chapter 47 The Lake
Wain decided not to hesitate to open the Rare Rating Spiritual box. He was curious to know what was in it.
He opened the box and saw a small scroll with a red hammer on it. Wain knew what it was.
"So I got a skill scroll, not bad. It can be used to attack the enemy suddenly." Mumbled Wain and looked at the description of the item.
[Skill Scroll - Strike Hammer (Primary Chronicle, Rare Rating)
When you use this scroll, an energy hammer will be created over your chosen target. It is large and powerful enough to pierce armor and cause irreparable damage to creatures below level 10. After falling, the energy hammer explodes, creating a massive explosion destroying everything around it at a distance of two meters.
This skill can be used a limited number of times, after which the item will disappear: 3/3]
Wain smiled and headed on, the park was very large, so it would take Wain some time before he got to the lake. In the meantime, Wain pondered about this park and the monsters that appeared here.
'Last time I fought the Demon Ants, the entrance to the Dungeon was the crypt. Since the Dungeon appeared in front of me, the ants haven't had time to settle on the areas around it. But I don't see any entrance here. Perhaps I haven't found it yet, but it may not exist at all. After all, this time, it said I was in the territory of the Nest. What is this?' Wain pondered.
He walked along the park's practically untouched paths among the many robotic samurai. As he had assumed earlier, the white and red robot samurai no longer touched him. But, so far, Wain has met no other adversaries, though he has been walking for quite some time.
'The Nest...I need to figure out how this place is different from the Dungeon...' thought Wain.
He looked around, and at that moment, an interesting idea occurred to him, 'Perhaps the Nest is different from the Dungeon in that there is no space in which the main base is located? Perhaps this park that the Samurai robots took over is their main base?"
'If I'm right, then everything makes sense. The boss and most of the monsters are in the Dungeon itself. Not all monsters come out. But, Sven said that Dungeons grow and get bigger over time. If the Nest is a Dungeon with no hidden space, then I won't see a crypt or anything like that anywhere.' Wain thought.
The Nest really didn't have a hidden space where the main monster would be. The Nest was somewhat similar to the Dungeon but also had significant differences.
Firstly, like Dungeon, Nest appeared because of a large accumulation of Soul Essence in one place. The location could be anything. It depended on many factors. Secondly, the Nest grew faster, as monsters didn't waste time exploring the area and getting out of the closed space.
But, the Nest, unlike the Dungeon, was poorly protected from attacks from the outside. There was only one entrance to the Dungeon space, and monsters could prepare for attackers and arrange passageway defenses.
Moreover, the Nest was not protected from various weather conditions. During the apocalypse, various natural disasters could appear from time to time in many different places. Therefore, some hurricanes could destroy the Nest if the monsters weren't strong enough to withstand the storm.
Wain strolled quietly through the park and paid no attention to the dozens of robotic samurai that were strong enough to kill dozens of people in a couple of seconds.
'I wonder why these strange monsters showed up here? Judging by the fact that they have flesh and blood like humans, they are some kind of cyborgs. Is there a reason these particular monsters appeared in this park, or does it happen by accident?' Wain thought.
He walked forward a few more meters and suddenly heard a rumbling noise in the distance. He turned around and saw a group of five men fighting against one robotic samurai. Such monsters Wain had never met before, for he was blue. He had only fought white and red robot samurai before.
The blue samurai was even taller than the red one. He had a massive axe in his hand, and his armor was very strong and bulky. Such an opponent was tough to defeat, but the group of five gradually managed.
"And they have a pretty good team. There is one man who takes the hit. One person attacks in close combat, and two people attack from afar. What's more, they're fortunate. They have support." Said Wain as he looked at the fighting group of men.
One guy stood behind his four comrades. He had a special ability with which he reinforced a man with a shield, which blocked the attacks of the robot samurai.
Wain paid no attention to them and moved on. Other people's affairs were of little interest to him, he had to get to the lake, and he had only a little way to go.
He waited for his opponent to come to him, and he did not have to wait long. A minute later, a blue robot samurai appeared in front of him. Just like the last time, other robots samurai approached them. They lined up in a circle, creating a kind of arena.
The blue robot samurai bowed and then pointed his axe at Wain. Wain smiled, thrust his dark sword forward, and prepared for battle.
'Huh, these monsters are more polite than many humans. This place really is amazing. I wonder what I'll see in the middle of the park?' Wain thought
The next moment the monster's axe glowed brightly, and it swung its weapon toward Wain. A bright blade flew out of the axe and flew toward Wain.
Wain didn't block this blade. He didn't know how strong it was or if it could destroy the Destruction Sword. So he just bounced to the side and used Lightning Lizard's Dash.
Wain wanted to attack the Samurai robot's weaknesses, but the monster anticipated such an attack. It bounced to the side and plunged the axe into the ground. The next moment, a pillar of light burst from beneath the ground, practically wounding Wain.
"It looks problematic. I need to be more careful. However, I've got some moves, too." Wain muttered, and the Ring of Damned glowed brightly.
A scroll with the picture of a red hammer appeared in his hands. The next moment Wain used some Soul Essence, and the skill scroll flashed brightly.
At the same time, a red, energetic hammer formed in the air that came crashing down on the robot samurai in a flash. The monster didn't have time to react. It didn't expect that Wain had such an attack in his arsenal.
The energy hammer came crashing down on the samurai robot, followed by a deafening explosion. It was so powerful that a small crater appeared in the ground, and some white samurai robots were killed.
To Wain's surprise, the blue robot samurai was still alive, but his condition was critical.
"You are interesting creatures. You have shown me respect, and so I will do the same. I will kill you quickly and beautifully." Said Wain and approached the monster.
Wain then gripped the Destruction Sword tightly and pierced his enemy's heart with the sword. The robotic samurai were only part robots, with flesh and blood, and organs under a layer of mechanized armor. Their body structure was not much different from that of a human.
The next moment the blue soul entered Wain's body.
[Soul of Blue Robotic Samurai (Destroyed)
Chronicle: Primary
Rating: Rare]
'Eh, it's Destroyed Soul, what a pity, I could have gotten some good item or skill had it been Whole Soul'. Thought Wain and crushed the soul.
[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Blue Robotic Samurai level 10.]
Just like last time, the robotic samurai dispersed in different directions. Every battle in this park was like a ritual of sorts.
After Wain dealt with the blue robot samurai, he moved on. The lake was in the center of the park, but many trees were growing around the lake. They were large, and their crowns very dense. Therefore, Wain could not see what was in the lake through such a dense layer of wood.
As Wain walked toward the lake, he was no longer attacked by any robot samurai. Wain decided that he had defeated all the strong opponents, and only the boss, who was in charge of this Nest, was left.
'Hmm, Sven said that after clearing the Dungeon, a human gets a reward. Do I get a reward if I kill all the robot samurai? Or doesn't that rule apply to Nests?' Wain thought.
However, he wouldn't waste his time killing more than half a thousand samurai robots anyway. These monsters were far more powerful than zombies or even Demon Ants. It would take too much time and effort to kill them all.
After a while, Wain reached the dense wall of trees behind which the lake was hidden. Before that, Wain activated the Seal of Darkness a few more times, and he made sure he had to go in that direction.
"А? What's going on?" Surprised Wain watched as suddenly hundreds of samurai robots headed toward the lake. They were not in an aggressive mood. Rather they wanted to watch the upcoming battle as they had several times before.
All samurai robots, without exception, were heading toward the lake. Among them were white, red, and even blue. They all wanted to see with their own eyes how their leader, who was at that moment in the center of the park, would fight.
Wain also realized this and thought to himself, 'If their leader is there and they're all going there, that means it's about to fight someone. It looks like that group of people got to the lake before I did.'
