Nameless King

"My soul?" Mumbled Zero.

"Yes, what is it called?" Repeated his question to Wain.

"My soul is called the Apostle of Darkness. The rating of my soul is Ascendant." Answered Zero.

At the same moment, Wain's eyes shone brightly, and he smiled contentedly, 'Unbelievable, she has an Ascendant Rating Soul. There are many more people in this world than in mine, but an incredibly small number of people can get such a soul in the beginning.'

'Moreover, this girl is a mutant and has superpowers even without a soul. She needs a competent mentor, and she can turn this world upside down.'

Wain was not going to mentor Zero. That task he would leave to Gisle. The man had yet to give Wain any reason to be disappointed in him.

"Not bad. Zero, you have a lot of potentials. Once you're outside, you can quickly become much stronger." Said Wain.

Teresa heard their conversation. She thought to herself, 'Ascendant Rating? What is that? Wain seems to know about it. Damn, I realize more and more every time that the gulf between us is huge. He is stronger and has more information. I need to work harder to keep up with him even more.'

They had been walking down the corridor for some time, and suddenly mechanisms came out of the walls. Wain knew at once what it was.

"Turrets?" Wain said in amazement.

He realized that the situation they were in was very dangerous. Even though his stats were several times that of a mere human, Wain was not yet capable of withstanding around hit. Moreover, the turrets were large, and so the caliber of the projectiles was not small.

There was a loud click, and more than twenty bullets flew toward them, capable of penetrating even the tank's tough armor. Wain was ready to activate the Code of Light and Darkness, but suddenly the bullets glowed blue and stopped in front of Wain and Teresa's face.

Wain turned around and saw a lot of energy coming from Dyo, and her third eye was open. Then she waved her hand, and the bullets changed direction. The bullets flew toward the turrets and quickly destroyed them. Several explosions shook the corridor.

Then Dyo fell to her knees and breathed heavily. Her third eye was bleeding. She was not wounded, but it was hard on her body. She needed to rest for about an hour, and she would be fine.

'She stopped so many projectiles at tremendous speed and was able to redirect them sharply. That's impressive. No wonder she got such a powerful kickback. I wonder if they get stronger and increase their stats, will their superpowers derived from the mutation become as powerful?' Wain thought.

'Teresa, help Dyo.' Said Wain and walked on.

'You! He still dares to command!' Teresa was indignant to herself, but she nodded anyway and lifted Dyo into her arms.

After a while, they reached another door. Wain wanted to ask something, but Zero beat him to it, 'It's here. They must be there, and they probably won't give up so easily."

Her voice was cold and sounded like an eerie scraping of metal. She wanted to kill them more than anyone else.

Wain nodded and kicked the door open with a sharp kick. There was no point in waiting or preparing. They had to go in and kill them.

Behind the door, Wain saw what he expected. At the end of the room, among the massive equipment, stood ten men. Each of them was dressed in a white robe. Their ages varied, including young men and older men.

But, there was no fear on their faces. They were surprised that the girls were able to sneak in here. Moreover, they had never seen Wain and Teresa before; these people were an unknown variable.

Next to the scientists were two massive pods. In each were creepy looking creatures. One looked like a mixture of a wolf and some nocturnal monster. It had thick, black fur, sharp claws, and an elongated mouth with many teeth.

The second creature was a mixture of a scorpion and a lizard. It had three tails that had a poisonous sting at the tip, but its torso was like a lizard. This creature also had many needles on its head, ready to fly out of its body at any moment.

"Who are you?" Asked loudly from the scientists.

"Wrong question," Wain said calmly. "Who are you, and what do you do here?"

The scientists didn't answer, and Wain wasn't going to wait for them. He slipped his hand under his cloak, and the next moment there was a massive pistol in his hand.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Wain instantly fired three times, and the heads of the three scientists behind him exploded.

"I repeat my question. What are you doing here?"

The scientists were not expecting such drastic measures, and some of them shuddered in fear. Although they were conducting human experiments to turn them into monsters, they were ordinary people and rather cowardly.

They reveled in power. Since the girls and boys could do nothing to them, they were nothing more than test subjects. But, things were different now. Their last defense measure was an energy wall and turrets, but Wain and Dyo easily dealt with that problem.

"AHAHA." Suddenly one young man laughed and said, "Isn't it obvious. We turned them into creatures superior to humans. If not for the cataclysm that occurred many hours ago, we would have been able to advance our experiments much longer..."

Bang.

"You talk too much." Said Wain shooting the man in the head. He knew it all without him.

"Zero, I'm sorry, I won't kill anyone else. I can be too hotheaded sometimes." Calmly said Wain hiding the gun under his cloak.

"That's all right. The important thing is that he's alive," Zero said coldly, looking at the middle-aged man standing in the center. He was the only one who wasn't still trembling in fear of the ruthless Wain.

The man sighed and said, "We're really out of luck, but in this emergency, we were able to create them."

He looked at the creatures in the flasks, "Originally, they were just test animals, but suddenly they started mutating drastically. Most likely related to the recent cataclysm, good thing we had time to sedate and enhance them."

Then he walked over to one of the pods and said, "If it's fate's will, I'm taking you with me to hell!"

He waved his hand to press the red button that would awaken the creatures in the pods, but...

Wain didn't like waiting.

Bang.

Another round flew out of the massive pistol. The large projectile hit exactly in the palm of his hand, turning it into bloody slivers.

"Zero, it's time. They're all yours, every last one of them. The rest of you, you should join in too, isn't that what you wanted so badly?" Wain said with a smirk.

"You bastard!" The man shouted furiously. He tried to press the button with his other hand, but suddenly there was a black flash in front of him, it was Zero.

Her speed was incredible, she was only slightly inferior to Wain, and she hadn't even activated her Soul Altar yet.

When Zero appeared in front of the man, a large amount of darkness came out of her hands. The next moment that darkness turned into a sharp, short blade. It began to inflict many wounds on the man.

To defend himself, the man covered himself with his arm and fell to the floor. Then Zero grabbed the blade tightly with both hands and want thrust it into the man's head, but suddenly something stopped her.

She turned around and saw Wain holding her hand tightly. She looked at him coldly, "What are you doing?"

A large amount of darkness began to emanate from Zero's hand, and her aura increased rapidly. She thought that Wain had tricked her and that he would save this scientist, so she was ready to attack him.

"Zero, calm down. I'm just used to keeping the promises I make." Wain said calmly.

Zero looked at him, puzzled. She didn't understand what Wain was trying to say.

"I promised you that these people would suffer like hell. But, if you were to put a blade in his head now, would it be like revenge? It would be a real disappointment to you and to me. If you can't get your hatred out in full, you can go to a master at it. Saying that revenge is a dish to be served cold, but we'll heat it to magma temperature!" Said Wain.

Zero calmed down and nodded. She thought to herself, 'He's right, I'll never have this opportunity again. I must make the most of it.'

"What do you advise me to do?" Asked Zero.

Wain smirked and looked at the scientist with a devilish look, "First, you need to break his knees, that way, he can't escape."

Crack.

Zero did as he said, and a second later, there was a loud scream from the scientist in pain.

"Now, you can do whatever you want with him. But, I don't advise you to kill him too soon. Zero, you can make needles out of this darkness, can't you?" Asked Wain.

The girl nodded, and her blade turned into several regular-sized needles.

"I used to do this kind of thing a lot, so I can advise you to stick those needles right there." Said Wain pointing at the scientist's fingers.

The man shuddered in fear, but there was nothing he could do. Wain smiled wickedly and looked at him with eyes burning with interest, and Zero looked like a ruthless punisher.

But if Zero was like a demon out of hell, then Wain was a real devil giving instructions to an inexperienced demon.

For the next few hours, Wain advised Zero on various tortures and how to administer them. All the while, there were screams of agony in the hall.
