[Soul of Dark Wolf (Whole)

Chronicle: Primary

Rating: Rare]

'Another Whole Soul, not surprisingly. The creatures were unique, and it would be a long time before there were monsters like them to lower the chance of getting a Whole Soul.' Wain thought.

Then he opened the skill enhancement menu and selected the Plasma Destruction Sword.

[Plasma Destruction Sword (Primary Chronicle Active Skill, Rare Rating): All conditions for this skill are met.

[Energy: 88/33, any soul with fire attribute: 1/1, any soul with darkness attribute: 1/1, any soul with poison attribute: 1/1]

[Do you want to use the necessary materials and upgrade your Destruction Sword skill to Plasma Destruction Sword?]

'Yes.' Said Wain, and the next moment a panel of souls appeared in front of him.

They were Soul of Fire Demon, Soul of Dark Wolf, and Soul of Poison Lizard. With these souls, Wain would be able to make his first skill many times stronger.

The next moment, three different souls flew out of Wain's body and a rune signifying the Destruction Sword. Then they came close to each other and became one whole, turning into another rune, more powerful and complex. This rune flew into Wain's body, and he saw another message.

[You have gained the skill - Plasma Destruction Sword]

Wain immediately decided to try out a new skill. He concentrated, and Soul Essence began to accumulate at one point.

Then a dark sword began to appear in front of him. It was similar to its former version but also had significant differences.

The blade became shorter and towards the end. Now it looked like a medium-sized two-handed sword. It was more convenient to fight for people who preferred a fast fighting style with such a weapon.

This sword had a square handguard and a hilt wrapped in gray bandages. There were several decorative lines on the sword's body made of platinum. But, the most important change was the dark matter on the edge of the sword blade.

It was plasma, but not ordinary plasma, but a unique plasma. This plasma was black as the abyss and just as cold. It froze its enemies, not burned them.

Wain gripped the sword tightly and then swung it quickly through the concrete wall. A thin layer of ice appeared on the solid concrete, and cold steam emanated from the resulting crack.

"Not bad," Wain muttered contentedly. He couldn't wait to get the materials he needed to improve his soul. Slowly, Wain was taking a step toward true power.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Suddenly there was a loud clap behind him. Wain turned around and saw Zero clapping her hands. She looked at Wain and his new skill with eyes burning with curiosity.

Wain canceled the Code of Light and Darkness and headed toward Teresa and the mutant girls.

"That was hard," Wain said with a smile.

"Are you going back to the university?" Teresa asked.

Wain shook his head, "No, a little later, I need to rest first. I didn't expect these monsters to be so strong, especially that feisty pup. I need to rest and regain my strength. Even though this place is strewn with corpses, it's safer up here than up there."

Teresa nodded and turned to the girls, "Honey, follow me, and I'll lead you to safety."

The girls nodded and followed her. Wain said afterward, "Zero, Epta, Dyo, and the rest. You are now your troop called the Apostles. In honor of your leader and honor of your number."

Zero smiled and headed after Teresa. She would have liked to be with Wain more, but she realized that Wain preferred to act alone for the most part. Of course, he could team up with someone if necessary. It wasn't a problem.

But, everyone had their preferences when traveling. Some always liked to act together, but some wanted to take things into their own hands.

Everyone was different, and while some liked to be in the middle of the noisy company, some preferred to take time for themselves and their own thoughts.

When the girls and Teresa left, Wain leaned against the wall and collapsed, exhausted. Then the Ring of Damned glowed brightly, and a variety of food appeared beside Wain. For the next two hours, Wain ate and drank nonstop. He had to recover as best he could.

'In about an hour, the order will begin, and very soon, it will be night. I need to get back from Void before night passes. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a monster with the attribute of lightning and darkness.' Thought Wain.

Then he stood up and stretched himself. He looked at his hands and muttered, 'Kinetic Shot is a powerful skill, but I can't use it more than twice. However, if I can find somewhere to channel the energy, like the head of the robots samurai, then I can use this skill much more often."

Wain decided that he needed a very strong and durable firearm. In that case, he would use Kinetic Shot a few more times.

Then Wain headed toward the torn head of the dark wolf. He didn't pay attention to one detail during the battle, but now he remembered it. Wain decided to take the monster's eyes for himself. They remained intact, and Wain thought that they might come in handy for him at some point.

"Huh, I already have two pairs of different eyes in my ring. Maybe I should start collecting them." Wain muttered.

He also thought that maybe he had rushed it when he used the Dark Wolf's soul for the skill. After thinking about it, Wain could have also crushed that soul and tried to get some skill or item, but he realized that it wasn't worth it.

It was not certain that he would have gotten the item or skill even if it was Whole Soul. Also, he might have gotten an item or skill that wasn't much use to him. Also, Wain needed the enhanced Destructions Sword as soon as possible. Therefore, he did not consider it a mistake.

Wain then stood in the center of the room and concentrated. Wain considered that he was ready to go to Void. He had regained a full supply of strength, and he wasn't going to wait any longer.

His Seal of Darkness activated and began actively pulsing. Wain sensed the direction of the World of Darkness energy and headed toward the source.

The energy was coming from the eastern wall of this hall. Wain slowly approached the right place. With each step, Seal of Darkness pulsed stronger.

Then when Wain got close enough, he put his palm on the wall. As he did so, his seal glowed brightly and went out again. After that, part of the wall began to turn into the ink Wain was already familiar with.

Wain smiled and stepped inside. He decided to walk through this ink to get into a spatial rift. After doing so, Wain found himself in a place he was already familiar with.

"It's empty again and a creepy door there, but this time there's also a door leading to Sven's bar," Wain muttered, looking at the wooden door standing to the side.

Like Sven had said earlier, Wain could head to the bar first and then head to the Void.

'Hmm, I wouldn't mind sitting at the bar, but I have no reason to go there. I don't have many souls, and I won't get any Void Soul. I don't think he'll give me a free cocktail the second time around.' Wain thought.

He figured that he would prepare and accumulate enough souls to get some Void Soul when he needed to go to Sven for information and some gear. Otherwise, there was no point in him going back to the bar.

So Wain decided to head for the creepy inky door. It was the entrance to the Void, but before that, Wain decided to check again where the soul he needed to unlock the second form was.

He concentrated and felt the energy of the World of Darkness emanating from the creepy door. He also felt vibrations that told him he was going in the right direction.

Wain approached the ink door and was about to open it to get into the Void. He was curious to know what kind of journey and dangers awaited him. However, when he practically touched the door, he felt an unimaginable pressure.

Wain's breathing became labored for a second. Then he bounced sharply to the side.

'What's going on here! Are there any enemies in the spatial rift?' Thought Wain. He was confused. But then his eyes widened in surprise.

Suddenly, out of the darkness, massive, bony hands appeared behind the door of ink. They tore through the ink door in one motion. Then, the bones began to transform into a strange arch with a terrifying aura.

Then the archway was filled with two massive slabs. It looked like the entrance to some crypt or ritual hall. Some very creepy and ancient place.

There was a loud creaking sound, and the two slabs came into motion, gradually opening Wain's passage further. The slabs opened before him like a door.

Beyond this gate, Wain saw nothing but darkness, and from this archway, a coldness emanated as if from hell or an even scarier place. Wain was surprised and even shocked. He did not know what this gate was or why it had replaced the door leading into the Void.

'Sven had not mentioned such a thing, and most likely, he had no purpose of deceiving or hiding anything from me. It just doesn't make sense. But, then, what is it? Moreover, I feel that the soul I need is there. The Seal of Darkness keeps pulsing.' Wain thought.

He concentrated and made sure once more that the soul he needed was hidden behind that gate. After a while, Wain sighed and stepped forward. He wasn't going to back down. No matter what awaited him behind that gate, he would get the soul he needed.
