Nameless King - Chapter 279

Wain’s Stats were unnaturally high for a First Chronicle creature. They were several dozen of First Chronicle’s limit. The Purgatory zone he entered was for Primary Chronicle creatures, so chains appeared next to him.

This didn’t happen last time, as Wain’s power wasn’t that great.

There were many chains, and they completely enveloped Wain. He couldn’t move his arm, and it didn’t matter how much strength he applied.

[Your strength does not meet the standards of this zone. All of your stats are lowered by 10%]

Whooooosh.

The chains penetrated Wain’s body and shackled him. However, he was not upset. On the contrary, Wain was puzzled.

‘I assumed that could happen. However, why only ten percent? It’s too little, isn’t it? Hmm, perhaps it’s all about the state of the zone?’

This area of Purgatory had long since been destroyed from within and deprived of a Soul Pearl. This greatly weakened the power of the chains and the spatial barrier.

The weaker the zone, the weaker was its deterrent against invaders. This rule worked for all zones in the World of Darkness.

Wain nodded and concentrated. This zone was originally small, but the amount of debris and soaring ruins still numbered in the thousands.

‘I buried Forgotten’s body not far from the pagoda. The rubble in which he is buried must be near the ruins of the pagoda.’ Wain pondered.

He was sure that nothing had happened to Forgotten’s body. A few months was not enough time for a normal person’s body to have rotted away completely. Forgotten was much stronger. Wain assumed the body was in perfect condition.

Wain had difficulty defeating Forgotten despite the fact that he was missing his heart, was exhausted, and was far from his peak form. Wain, on the other hand, outdid himself in that battle.

‘I wonder what his real strength is?

Whooooooosh.

He jumped on the nearest rubble and headed toward the pagoda. Wain felt as if he were in space and moving between asteroids.

Wain made it to the pagoda, but he didn’t know which of the debris floating around it he wanted.

‘That’s the one…’

His gaze fell on one wreck, it was no different from the others, but to Wain, it was special. He looked closely at the tree and remembered that he had buried Forgotten there.

Bam.

Wain jumped and delivered a powerful blow breaking the asteroid into several pieces.

Just as he had anticipated, Forgotten was buried there. His body floated slowly in the air among the small debris and the wood under which he was.

Forgotten had not changed a bit. He had long ashy hair and pale skin. One of his eyes was black, and the other was white. He wore a gray robe with a picture of a dragon on it.

Wain jumped toward him and landed on a large splinter. Even now, Forgotten looked strong and majestic. Even though he had been dead for a long time, his body did not smell. A noble and powerful aura emanated from him.

He still held his partially rusted sword firmly in his right hand.

“All right, it’s time to resurrect my strongest foe.” Wain said seriously, and the Ring of Damned glowed brightly.

In his hand appeared a fruit more resembling a heart. Wain nodded and, with a sharp movement, inserted the Living Heart into the hole in Forgotten’s chest.

Tremble.

There was an energy surge. It was like hundreds of golden threads emanating from the heart. They spread out in every direction and plunged into the Forgotten’s flesh. Then the energy exploded once more and threw Wain aside.

A beam of energy erupted from the Forgotten’s, piercing the clouds and even space. It shook as if it were ready to collapse at any moment. However, the energy returned, and Forgotten took its first breath after the resurrection.

Every cell of his body rejoiced and filled with life. His hair was white as snow, his body was balanced and harmonious, and his eyes were a bright yellow, like the color of a superior amber.

Energy went to his sword, and the rust evaporated under the bright light. The sword became longer and more proportionate. Small particles of ash began to emanate from the weapon and his hair, like a remnant from an eternal flame.

Then Wain realized that Forgotten was a representative of one of the Pillars. He was Ashen and the one who had chosen the side of ash over a flame.

“What…? Where am I?” Forgotten muttered, looking at the floating wreckage.

He slowly rose, and on one asteroid, he saw a tall man with black hair and wearing a dark, long cloak. His emerald eyes were deep and terrifying as the abyss.

Forgotten remembered this man, for he was the last person he saw in his life.

He rose slowly and smiled weakly, “Could you work a miracle?”

“Yes.” Wain replied confidently.

Not only could the Living Heart resurrect a man, but it could also bring him back into perfect form. Forgotten was now in his peak form. The fruit restored his strength and unleashed his potential.

Wain was thrilled by what was happening, but not just because he had succeeded. Several messages were floating in front of him.

[Received Title – One who Created the Miracle]

[One who Created the Miracle

Many people dream of the power of resurrection. With this power, it was possible to bring back to life those who should not have died, relatives, or those unjustly killed. But, such power was nothing more than fiction and a fantasy brought about by a harsh reality.

But, you were able to transcend this boundary.

*All skills are increased by 10%

*Majesty increased by 1]

That was just part of it.

[Resurrection is not only a miracle but also proof that you were able to break the boundary between life and death.]

[To be able to evolve a second time, you had to meet the following conditions.

[Obtain Legendary Rating Soul: 1/1

[Break the line between life and death: 1/1

[Know what death is a hundred times: 100/100]

[You can start the second evolution at any time.]

‘Great, today is definitely my day.’

“Why did you do that?” Forgotten asked. He was grateful to Wain, but he wanted to know the reason why Wain chose to spend such a treasure on him.

Wain shrugged his shoulders in response, “Such were the circumstances. However, I had one good reason. I want you to join me.”

Forgotten nodded, “Of course, I don’t mind.”

He made this decision not only because Wain resurrected him, but also because he had no goals. He had spent the last part of his life protecting Soul Pearl and this space, but now he was free to do whatever he wanted.

Whoooooosh.

Suddenly, several chains appeared around Forgotten, intent on enveloping him and Wain.

However, Forgotten smiled weakly and swung his sword smoothly. His hair rose in the air, and his sword flashed.

Cracks appeared in the chains, and many fragments fell at Forgotten’s feet.

‘Damn, how strong is he?’ Wain pondered.

Even the angel who had invaded Luar’s Void couldn’t resist the chains, but Forgotten shattered the chains of the Purgatory zone, no problem.
