Chapter 51 - Mastery

Name:Nameless King Author:Arlemit
When a person received a soul, he could initially understand the Rating of the soul he received by its color. White meant Common Rating. Blue meant a Rare Rating. Pink meant Epic Rating.

So when Wain saw a pink soul flying toward him, he smiled. He didn't expect to be able to get Epic Soul after defeating this monster.

'Fuck, what was that! Where did that guy get that kind of power!? Teresa thought to herself. She hadn't expected the fight to end up almost completely destroying the lake. The torrents of water nearly knocked her back, and some of the Samurai robots were incapacitated.'

She thought she could join the battle at the last moment and take the soul of the black robot samurai for herself, but she could barely stay on her feet because of the blast wave. Now Teresa had no desire to quarrel with Wain or get in his way.

Then the pink soul flew into Wain's body.

[Soul of Black Robot Samurai (Whole)

Chronicle: Primary

Rating: Epic]

'Great, it's Whole Soul. As far as I understand, this robot samurai has no particular attribute. So his soul won't be suitable for my skill and soul development. However, in any case, I can't pass up the chance to get an Epic Rating equipment or item.' Thought Wain.

He looked at his defeated opponent and muttered, "He could no longer survive, so he decided to kill himself like a true samurai. In one of the eastern countries in my world, such a tradition was quite popular in the Middle Ages."

Then Wain looked at the pink soul that had appeared in his hand. He wanted to crush it, but suddenly several messages appeared before him.

[You have been given the Title - Fighter]

[Fighter

You fought a very powerful opponent one-on-one and managed to win. Your spirit and willpower deserve respect. Despite the unpredictable twists and turns during the battle, you still managed to find your way to victory.

During the battle, you will always be focused and collected]

"Hmm? Isn't it useless?" Mumbled Wain looking at the description of the title he received. He felt that this title did not give him anything useful. On the contrary, in Wain's opinion, this title had quite a few side effects.

When Wain thought about it, several strange messages appeared before him. Nothing like this he had ever seen before.

[Error!]

[Your skills and prowess exceed the effects of the title you received. Effects and title will be changed to match your power]

People could get a skill not only by killing monsters. Moreover, skills could not always match a person in quality.

For example, if a student who had never held an army knife in his life got a passive skill that increased his skills to the level of a special forces team member, that would be a strong enhancement.

But what would have happened if the special forces officer had received such a skill? Such a skill would have been of no use to him because his own abilities were superior to the effects he would get from the skill. In that case, the system would tweak the skill to be strong enough and useful enough to last that person.

Since Wain could maintain judgment in combat when he wanted it, this title was too weak for him. The system could not allow a man to get a thing that was useless to him.

[Fighter Title Destroyed]

[You gained the Title - Echo of Samurai]

[Echo of Samurai

Your focus during combat is almost unattainable. However, you are just as free to give free rein to your emotions, turning into a real demon on the battlefield. When fighting a creature that has something in common with the samurai, you have realized that you can reach a greater depth of your emotions during battle.

Under certain conditions, in battles, you can enter a unique trance-like state]

"Wow, now that's a lot more interesting. But, what exactly do I have to do to enter this trance?" Wain muttered.

Then he crushed a pink soul.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Black Robot Samurai level 13. Strength+5, Agility+5, Vitality+5, Stamina+5, Energy+5]

[You have leveled up to level 10. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]

'Unbelievable, I got a huge amount of Soul Essence and an increase in all my stats. Even the Energy stat was increased. Epic Rating Soul is a whole other level.' Thought Wain, and the next moment his eyes widened in surprise.

[You received the Epic Rating Skill Book]

The last time Wain received a Skill Book was when he was on the island of the damned. Not much time had passed since then, but a huge number of different events had happened. Therefore, it seemed to Wain that an eternity had passed since that moment.

When a person crushed a Whole Soul, he could get a Soul Chest or a Skill Book, but the chances of getting a Skill Book were slightly less. So Wain had already gotten several Soul Chests and only one Skill Book.

Wain looked at the pink book and put his hand on it. The next moment, dozens of symbols entered his head, providing him with all the knowledge he needed.

[Kinetic Shot (Primary Chronicle Active Skill, Epic Rating)

You can create a kinetic shot that gathered energy at one point. The speed of this shot will be comparable to the speed of lightning and the power of a falling comet. However, every great force has its recoil. You must be careful and strong enough to withstand the power of this shot]

"AHAHAHA." Suddenly Wain laughed. He was upset when the black robot samurai killed himself with his sword, and then his weapon exploded. Wain thought he had forever lost the capacity to wield the power the robot samurai had practically finished him off with.

"Great, I got the Epic Rating Skill, and still so powerful and easy to use. I definitely didn't come here for nothing." Joyfully said Wain.

Teresa looked at Wain unhappily. She bit her lip and thought to herself, 'Damn, I thought that after I passed the test of the World of Darkness, I could consider myself the strongest in this town. But, this guy... he's on a whole other level.'

Then Teresa's body trembled. Wain looked at her with a vicious look and pointed his hand at her as if he had a gun. She didn't know what he was going to do, but her instincts told her that death had already put a scythe to her throat.

The next moment, however, Wain smirked and put his hand down. He was joking and decided to make fun of Teresa for a bit.

'Hmm, I destroyed most of the lake, but where does the energy of the World of Darkness come from?' Wain thought.

Wain tried to concentrate and find the source of energy, but suddenly something strange began to happen.

Above every robot samurai near the lake appeared a tall pillar of light stretching to the sky. Then Wain saw a message in front of him.

[The King of the Nest has been defeated. The strongest will become the new king of this area and the head of all samurai robots living here.]

The next moment the robots samurai split into pairs and began to fight each other. It was like some kind of chaos, but also acting according to certain rules.

'I wonder if I can become the new king of this Nest? However, even if I could, I don't need to. Once I get into the Void and get the soul of a swordsman, I'm out of this park. Defeating every one of them will be too much of a problem.' Thought Wain, and at that moment, a blue robot samurai approached him.

The monster pointed his axe at Wain, challenging him to a fight.

In response, Wain shook his head and said, 'I will not fight for the title of king. I am not interested in that position. You must choose your head from someone of your own."

The robot samurai did not expect Wain to refuse, but it was his right. So, the monster nodded and headed out to find a rival. Everyone wanted to be king and get certain perks for it.

"This world never ceases to amaze me. I wonder what I'll see in Void? It must be more impressive than this gathering of cyborgs." Mumbled Wain and concentrated on finding the spatial rift.

As before he could feel waves of energy emanating from beneath the lake, Wain looked carefully at the bottom of the lake and noticed something that looked like a slab of stone.

It was originally hidden by water and a layer of earth, but after the explosion that Wain created by summoning the two hammers, part of the stone slab became visible.

'Hmm? Is there some structure under this lake? Why build something under the lake? Moreover, this slab looks new and solid. It's not some part of the sewer. Anyway, it doesn't matter, as long as I know where I'm going.' Thought Wain and took a slow step toward the slab.

'What is he doing?' Thought Teresa. She was still in the park and watching Wain closely. She thought he was hiding some secrets that made him so strong. Moreover, she also wondered what might be under the lake.

When Wain approached the stove, he placed his palms on it. Then he drew his hand back and struck a single point with all his might. An ordinary man would not have been able to penetrate the stone slab with his bare hands, but at that moment, Wain's Strength was equal to 40, taking into account the potion's effect. He was about eight times stronger than an ordinary man.

Bam.

His blow sent a small shockwave through the slab and caused many cracks in the slab. Then Wain struck a few more times and then heard a loud crack.. The stone slab began to collapse, revealing a passage into the unknown gradually.
