Nameless King

Wain climbed the stairs to the roof of the building and looked around. The park was quite far away, and Wain wanted to make it safely. The best option, in his opinion, was to move around by jumping onto the roofs of buildings.

Right now, thanks to his stats, he could jump up several meters. It was more than enough to move around on the roofs of buildings.

Wain walked to the edge of a building and easily jumped to another. Then he continued to do the same with his eyes on the sides.

'It's pretty safe from above, but even here, I can be attacked. What's more, I'm jumping over single-story buildings. There are high-rise buildings next to the park. That's where I have to go downstairs. I wonder what awaits me there? Apparently, the soul I want is in the Void'. Wain thought.

After a while, Wain climbed to the roof of a tall building and stopped. He didn't see any monsters or other threats around, so he decided to see how he could improve the soul here.

Wain opened the improvement menu and saw the line he wanted.

[You can improve your soul - Last Knight]

He decided to improve his soul, after which several messages appeared in front of him.

[You have used 60% of the total amount of your Soul Essence. Soul - Last Knight is ready to evolve. Choose one of two ways]

[Improve Chronicle skill]

[Improve Skill Rating]

'Hmm, I can improve Chronicle, and my additional soul will become incredibly powerful. Most likely, none of the monsters here will be able to harm me anytime soon. But, in the future, I'll have a lot of problems because of it. Probably should improve Chronicle, only after I have already improved the Rating skill or soul'. Wain thought and chose the appropriate option.

[You've decided to improve your Soul Rating]

[Choose one of the suggested options]

The next moment, three different options appeared in front of Wain. Unlike Destruction Sword or Lizard's Dash, Soul of Last Knight's original rating was Rare. This meant that after improvement, his additional soul would become Epic Rating. It was infrequent, and such souls could give incredible powers.

[Flaming Knight]

[Knight of Death]

[Black Thunder's Renegade]

Wain immediately looked at the description of the first option.

[Flaming Knight (Primary Chronicle, Epic Rating)

Your flames can melt even the toughest metal and burn flesh and blood of unwanted sinners. Your fire is as relentless as the breath of hell from its hottest corners. At your will, any of your weapons will burst into flames, red-hot to an insane degree. You are the one whose heart beats as fiercely as your flame burns during battle.

All fire damage coming from you is increased by 45%. All incoming fire damage coming at you is reduced by 40%. Also, all incoming ice damage is reduced by 50%]

[It is possible to develop your soul if the following conditions are met -

[Requires any Epic Rating Whole Soul with fire attribute - 0/1]

"That sounds a lot more serious than anything I've seen before. Hmm, I can't seem to know what skill I'll get if I choose this option. What's more, I don't know if I'll get a new skill or if the old one will change." Wain muttered.

When all the people in Wain's world got souls, he also tried to get his soul. Thus Wain learned about many things and details concerning souls, but he didn't know everything. Moreover, there was hardly anyone who knew everything.

'I also need to find such a rare soul somewhere. To do that, I would need to kill at least a twice-evolved monster. It is unlikely that such creatures have already appeared, and even if they have, they have appeared in special zones such as volcanoes. Finding a suitable soul at the moment would be problematic'. Thought Wain.

Wain was pleased with the description and effects of the Flaming Knight, but he wanted to see the next two choices before making his choice. Each of these souls was Epic Rating, so there were no bad or good choices here.

[Knight of Death (Primary Chronicle, Epic Rating)

The Death Knight is a creature capable to some extent of resisting such a great force as death. Moreover, death is partly your ally. With your power, you will be able to summon long dead creatures to your aid. An aura of death will emanate from your body, greatly reducing the effectiveness of all healing abilities. This aura will affect both allies and enemies.

All attacks with the death attribute deal 25% more damage. All attacks with the attribute of darkness deal 10% more damage. Increased resistance to poisons by 15%]

[It is possible to develop a soul if the following conditions are met -

[Two souls are needed - One any Epic Rating Soul with darkness attribute, one any Epic Rating Soul with death attribute: 0/1, 0/1]

"This is definitely a mighty soul. Knight of Death... this soul is oriented to fight alone, but I will also summon allies. The conditions for obtaining this soul are different, but it's not clear whether they're easier or harder..." Wain pondered.

'I need two souls, not one. The conditions are much harder on this side, but unlike the conditions for getting a Flaming Knight, the state of the soul is not affected. I can use two Destroyed Souls. But, I have to find two monsters with the right attribute and the right amount of evolution somewhere.' Wain thought.

The description of Soul of Death Knight said that Wain could summon dead creatures to his aid. It could be a passive effect of the soul or mean that Wain would gain a skill associated with it.

Wain opened the description of the third skill with curiosity.

[Black Thunder's Renegade (Primary Chronicle, Epic Rating)

You are a knight who has decided to renounce the world. You were caught in a mad vortex during your wanderings with a hundred black lightning bolts. At that moment, you realized that this was what you had been missing. You are as fast and crushing as thunder, and your heart is as black as the merciless lightning in that vortex.

Your sword moves with the speed of lightning, the darkness your faithful ally accelerating your body. Your mind is cold, and you are ruthless.

Damage from lightning and darkness is increased by 15%. Your damage has been increased by 13%. Your attack speed is increased by 11%]

[It is possible to develop your soul if the following conditions are met -

[Requires any Epic Rating Whole Soul with Lightning and Darkness attribute: 0/1]

"It looks like I've made my choice, but... the conditions to develop into this soul are incredibly difficult. I need to find an Epic Soul with a certain state, but this soul must have two attributes. Honestly, I've never heard of such souls..." Mumbled Wain.

He was a little confused this time. In the past times, he had roughly understood where he could get the souls he needed, but now he didn't know what to do.

'Hmm, for a monster to get some attribute, it has to evolve, or it has to appear under special conditions. Moreover, to increase the chances of a particular attribute, the monster must preferably be in the right area when it evolves. I can drag the monster into a fire zone, and that way, the monster gets a fire attribute. Or I can go to the fire zone and find a suitable monster there.. But, what are the conditions for a monster's soul to have two attributes at once?' Pondered Wain.
