Nameless King - Chapter 288

Wain didn’t expect such a change with his first three forms. He immediately wanted to know exactly what had changed, and several messages appeared before him.

[The first form, Code of Light and Darkness.

The special skill is “Equilibrium of the Sides.”

Darkness and Light are not only eternal adversaries of each other but also loyal partners, who by their existence sustain the universe. Neither of them can win the battle because they are part of each other.

If darkness begins to absorb light, it means that darkness has partially become light. You can use this power of balance in battle, but you will have to follow your rules.

*When you use the skill, your stats and opponents’ stats are equal to the average value. The set values are then increased by 20%.

This skill can only be used if your enemy’s stats do not exceed yours by more than 30%. Otherwise, nothing happens.

The rest of the small changes of the first form, you can notice when you activate it].

Wain didn’t wait and immediately activated the Code of Light and Darkness. Streams of energy appeared around him, and black and white armor was gradually created.

…

“Looks like you were the first, but that’s as it should be.” Said a man standing in the distance, wearing dark armor with blue hair.

“Yes, I’ll have to come down for a while.” Code of Light and Darkness said, smiling and jumping down.

The gray platform broke when Wain made his second evolution and became a Second Chronicle creature.

Beneath it was another platform, but much larger and with different characters. Each form had its own place there, and they received amplification when they were on the second platform.

Wain activated the first form, and the Code of Light And Darkness went to its place. It was a sign in the form of Yin and Yang.

Code of Light and Darkness stood on the sign, and his eyes sparkled.

…

The black and white armor that appeared on Wain had changed slightly since last time. It had become less dense, more lightweight, and now resembled not armor but a half armored long robe.

It was half dark and half white. Tightly bandaged bandages had replaced the gloves and boots with loose fingers. The bandages on the legs were white, and the arms were dark. There was also a sign of balance on my back.

“Wow, this is unexpected…” Wain muttered.

He wanted to test how the new first form skill worked and started to build up energy, but something stopped him.

‘So, not bad, huh?’ Suddenly a voice came from inside.

Wain didn’t realize it right away and thought someone had invaded or even attacked him, but he was alone in the icy lake.

“Who are you?”

‘Hmm? Don’t you get it? You’re using my power now. I am the Code of Light and Darkness. Communicating with you is still quite difficult. That’s my maximum at the moment.’

‘What? Hey! Answer me!’ Wain tried to get through to that strange voice, but he had no luck.

‘What the hell was that? Is that voice the first form?’ Wain thought to himself. He remembered that earlier, during the battle with the wyvern on Merge Island, he had also heard someone’s voice, but they were significantly different.

‘Hmm, if it was Code of Light and Darkness, then perhaps the Cursed Swordsman was talking to me then?’

Wain shook his head and decided to use his new skill first. He concentrated, and a massive Yin and Yang sign appeared on the ground in front of him.

His stats were not altered since there was no one but Wain in the ice lake. He did this to know how to use it during the battle.

Wain nodded and canceled the form. His first three forms changed when he evolved, so he immediately moved on to the next.

[Second form of Cursed Swordsman

Special skill – “Ice Execution”.

Cursed Swordsman has changed significantly during his wanderings, both externally and internally. From a cheerful and always smiling young man, he turned into a gloomy and depressive man.

This happened because of the events he experienced during the events, but not because of the battles. Cursed Swordsman saw how cruel the world could be and how hard life was for some people. They had to suffer, not because of fate, but because of the actions of others who were more like wild beasts.

Cursed Swordsman’s senses spiraled out of control on one such day, and he performed a deadly move that was dangerous to all without exception.

*When you use this skill, you will instantly kill an enemy who is weaker than you. You will inflict a lethal wound if the enemy is roughly equal to you in strength. If an enemy is stronger than you, you will inflict serious damage].

‘Oh, not bad.’ Wain thought and activated the second form.

…

“Looks like it’s my turn now.” Cursed Swordsman said and jumped down.

His place on the second platform was marked by a small ice pedestal with black chains sticking out of it.

…

The second form didn’t change much since when the seven chains were removed, the Cursed Swordsman changed slightly. However, something had changed.

The cloak no longer had torn parts, and it was coated with a thin layer of ice along the edges just as the chains on the bulky dark boots were.

‘We meet again.’ A cold voice sounded from within.

Wain expected it and smiled weakly, ‘You’re the Cursed Swordsman, right?

‘Yes… Like Code of Light and Darkness said though we can talk to you, it is very difficult to do so. There are still many obstacles ahead that you must break.’

The Cursed Swordsman said nothing more. He disappeared, and Wain could not reach him.

“Okay, at least I see some progress.” Wain muttered and canceled the second form.

He could not test the special skill of Cursed Swordsman as he had no suitable target. He had no choice but to trust his instincts in combat.

Wain nodded and activated Blind Sorcerer. It was the last form that received a special skill after the evolution. The other forms weren’t affected yet.

…

“I’m off.” Blind Sorcerer said, smiling, and jumped down.

His place on the second platform was in the form of a massive mirror, which was an hourglass’s reflection.

…

Whoooosh.

Strong energy flows emerged from beneath the ground, and Wain’s appearance changed. His hair turned gray, as did his eyes, but now there was a bright purple sheen in them.

His gray robe became a little longer, and his hat and boots were shorter. The blindfold remained, but now it was less dense, and the glint of his eyes was visible through it.

‘Hi, I see you’ve already met Code of Light and Darkness and Cursed Swordsman.’ A pleasant voice sounded.

‘Yes, Blind Sorcerer, you seem more confident than those two. Do you know more than they do? Wain asked.

‘Huh, you could say that, but it’s not about knowledge. It’s about my abilities. You can check it out for yourself. Unfortunately, we all know no more than you do. You can only feel and wait for our memories to open.. That’s it, my power is over.’
