Nameless King-Chapter 861 Last Light

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Wain slowly climbed out from under the rubble, tossing aside the rock debris until the path was completely clear.

"Well, well, you had enough of one attack to create a tunnel several meters long, but not even a scratch left on the crystal. That must be pretty frustrating, huh?" The Abyss Artist shook his head with a slight smile.

"Agh... Honestly, I was hoping I could do some damage to the crystal. In that case, I'd just keep attacking until I could free you, even if it took a few days it would definitely be worth it." Wain sighed, staring at the crystal with a complicated expression.

"Master... What should I do...?" Gen asked in confusion.

The Abyss Artist waved his hand carelessly, "Just swallow the crystal. Even if it can't be destroyed we must eliminate any possibility of anyone being able to do so. Wain won't take too long to reach the Transcendence Stage."

Gen nodded and quickly swallowed the crystal, then he looked at the Abyss Artist and asked, "Master, is it possible to reach the Transcendence Stage quickly? I mean... even the Absolute Stage is one of the pinnacles of power."

"Don't worry about that. He's been on the Transcendence Stage for a long time, longer than anyone else since he was the first." Abyss Artist calmly said as Gen's eyes went wide in disbelief, "Moreover, he doesn't have to go all the way over again. Wain knows where parts of his power are, so he just needs it restored."

Wain nodded before heading for the exit, "I should go. Gen, it was nice meeting you, I hope to see you soon as it will mean that I will become strong enough to free my friend from captivity."

...

Leaving the cave Wain made his way to the center of the Last Light, in the Merge Island. Here was the headquarters of the entire organization as well as the leader who never seemed to leave his office because of too much paperwork.

Whoooooooosh.

The massive windows opened abruptly due to the powerful wind flow as a dark silhouette like a shadow stepped inside.

"Hah, I thought you were coming in a little early. Do I rank so low on your to-do list?" Gisle grinned as he signed some important document.

Wain's mouth corners lifted up slightly, "Not really, of those I met in my second life, you're one of the first." Wain shrugged, sitting down on the leather couch.

He looked at Gisle whose face remained calm and asked, "You already know everything, right?" 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

Gisle nodded as he set the piece of paper aside, "Sure. Aurora, Maria, and Zero told me what happened. At first, I didn't understand why they were so surprised, you should have seen their faces, it was an incredible sight, but then that same face became mine."

"Well, if you weren't surprised after that, I'd start to doubt that you're human." Wain grinned.

"Hah, you're right. Anyway, I want to hear your story from beginning to end. I hope you don't mind giving me a little time?" Gisle asked as a sly smile appeared on his face.

Wain was silent for a while until he said in a deep voice, "Sure. It'll be quite a long story. I'm even glad you asked me to because it will also help me to reconsider what happened."

For the next few hours, their conversation came almost to an end. Many important things may have happened in the world during this time, but then Wain and Gisle were focused on the story as it was fascinating to Gisle and helpful to Wain.

"Danm... Even though this isn't the first time I've heard this, I could only hear about so many details from you... So you were only able to be reborn because of a special spell that two of your friends created?" Gisle asked with a burning flame in his eyes.

"Exactly. This spell was created by the greatest mage and most cunning man I have ever known. However, I won't deny that I was lucky, it only worked because of my special strength and unique spell I had a chance to be reborn." Wain said in a deadly serious voice.

"I see... Well, just because your power is to resist fate's influence doesn't mean you're not affected by luck. You can be unlucky all your life, but it's worth it if luck doesn't turn away from you at the most important moment, isn't it?" Gisle smiled slightly, leaning back in his chair. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

"Sure... I didn't think about it before, but now I clearly understand that despite all the factors, my life actually depended on luck. Hah, it's pretty ironic that it happened to me." Wain muttered with a strange look as goosebumps suddenly ran down his body.

Gisle was silent for a while, enjoying the silence until he asked, "What do you intend to do now? Do you really think a second Great War is going to happen?"

"Well... first I have to get my power back, I already know how to do that, but before that, I have a few more urgent things to finish. After that, I'll start preparing for the Great War." Wain said calmly and his eyes turned icy, "Actually I don't want there to be a second Great War more than anyone else in this world, but it is inevitable, just trust me."

Gisle nodded slightly, realizing that sometimes some things cannot be avoided, "You have to kill the second ruler of the Arkan World, right?"

"Yeah... I still don't know anything about the first Great War since at the most important moment the second ruler disappeared somewhere, in fact maybe that was the deciding factor since if they were both my opponents I would have died during the battle, that's for sure." Wain's eyes became deeper as his voice grew colder.

"What should we do? I mean, you probably have a plan for how humanity should prepare for the most important war in their history, don't you?" Gisle became serious.
