Chapter 217: Light And Regard

"What the fuck are you doing!" Shouted Haden after Wain destroyed a Soul Pearl.

"I?" Wain said smiling, "I'm just using my most valuable treasure as a battery!"

A large amount of energy floated around Wain. It moved slowly through the air beside him like a leisurely vortex.

Wain had used a Soul Pearl once before, and he knew what was happening in this case. After using the fourth form, Wain had almost no energy left, now he was spending the last drops to maintain a Beyond.

Wain was wounded, but not critically. His body could withstand that kind of pressure. 

Soul Pearl contained a large amount of energy, and once used, Wain would fully regain his reserve of strength, but Soul Pearl was not capable of healing wounds or speeding up regeneration.

'Wait... He has no mechanism. Is he actually going to absorb energy relying only on his body? I see, he's an idiot.' Haden thought.

However, after a few seconds, his face became as pale as a piece of paper. He watched in horror as Wain opened his mouth wide and began to absorb energy.

The white substance was headed toward him as if there were a black hole in his mouth. At that moment, Wain looked like a soul eater, something that every race member is.

"AH..." Wain exhaled with pleasure and licked his lips with his tongue, "That was really good a wonderful feeling. It was the second time, but can I be called a Pearl Hunter now?"

As Wain absorbed the energy, a message appeared before him.

[You have absorbed energy from Soul Pearl. Energy +30]

This Soul Pearl was slightly larger than the last one, so Wain got a lot more Energy than the last time.

Wain didn't know this, but at that moment, a change was taking place and his Soul Altar and the dark castle in its depths.

...

Four silhouettes were in a gray platform with a black crown floating in the center. White energy from Soul Pearl was headed toward the crown and slowly absorbed into it.

"You know, it could get pretty crowded in here eventually..." Mumbled a man in a gray cloak and a tight blindfold.

"Huh, does it matter? Maybe something exciting is about to happen." Pronounced the man in the long red cloak and white mask, looking at the crown.

"You're too talkative, we just need to wait, and all grow together..." A silhouette in a long, torn cloak muttered. There was cold steam coming from it, and the ground beneath it was covered in a thin layer of ice.

"Hmm? You're a nerd. Maybe we should have some fun." The Black Sun Aristocrat said smiling, and several black spheres appeared around the Cursed Swordsman.

"Ah..." Cursed Swordsman sighed, and his icy breath turned the spheres into chunks of ice. They fell and shattered into small pieces.

"AHAHAHA, you guys are acting like children. We need to think about how to get our desires to Him, though it would be more correct to say, to ourselves." Code of Light and Darkness entered the conversation.

By this time, he was almost back to normal. His armor was half white and half black, and his face no longer wore the black mask. He needed time to get back to balance.

...

Step.

Wain stepped forward, and a massive silhouette of death with a bloody scythe appeared above him. The Ring of Damned glowed brightly dead green, and the Wailing Ghost appeared on Wain.

Haden had no more trumps, and his only chance of survival was to escape, but he had no intention of doing so. 

His words of revenge for the mates were not empty, he knew this was the end, but Haden would not back down to the end.

Whoooooosh.

Wain lunged toward Haden and delivered a crushing top-down punch with his fist. Haden jumped aside at the last moment, but he didn't dodge completely.

At the moment of the blow, a silhouette of a gray mouth appeared over Wain, and then it closed in. Part of the ground beneath Haden disappeared, as did half of his left leg.

He clenched his teeth in pain and tried to keep his balance on one leg. 

Doubt and hatred plagued his soul, but he knew he could not give up at such a moment. His gaze had been courageous and determined since birth and would remain until death.

"It's time for end." Wain said coldly and struck another blow.

The jaws on his left arm opened wide, and part of the ground next to Haden disappeared. He miraculously managed to dodge and counterattacked furiously.

"AAAAAAAAAAAA!" Haden shouted, landing the most powerful punch he could.

His fist went for Wain and hit the target. Haden punched his enemy in the chest, but Wain didn't back down. He took the blow and canceled a Beyond. The black crown was gone from his head, as was the gray energy from his palms.

Haden didn't understand why Wain did it, and even though he struck with all his might, Wain didn't even take a step back. He stood like a motionless mountain.

Wain put his hand on Haden's shoulder and murmured quietly, "This is the end. Your spirit deserves respect."

At that moment, Haden realized a terrible wound on his left side. It was as if a white shark had bitten him and ripped off a massive chunk of flesh with his organs. He was bleeding and getting closer to death by the second.

"Agh..." Blood flowed from the corners of Haden's mouth, and he fell to the ground. Haden looked at the shining sun and felt his life ending.

The ring on Wain's finger shone brightly, and a platinum sword appeared in his hand. 

Wain respected Haden for his unwavering spirit and belief in his beliefs. Few people would not lose the fire in their eyes in a desperate situation, but Haden could.

Wain stood beside Haden, firmly holding his sword with both hands, blade down. He looked like the executioner who was to end Haden's life.

"Any last words?" 

"How beautiful the light is... I wish I could see it again..." Haden muttered and closed his eyes.

Wain nodded weakly and sharply thrust his sword into Haden's heart. It was the end of his journey and his story.

"That was a great fight." Proclaimed Wain and pulled the sword from Haden's chest.

In the last seconds of his life, Haden was smiling. It was always when he was serenely looking at the sun.

Then a message appeared before him.

[Received Title - Executioner of the Light

You killed the one who loved and was most loyal to the light, but he was also a light to many others who also died at your hand. You became their executioner and the last light they saw in their lives.

*Under sunlight, all stats increase by 5%, the power of all skills increase by 7%, the power of fire and light skills increase by 10%.

*You have attracted the attention of light organizations. They are wary of you, but some are interested in you on the contrary.

*Dark organizations want to learn more about you].

The next moment Wain felt as if someone was watching him from the sky, and he saw several messages.

[An unknown entity has attempted your identity.]

[Faceless Aristocrat Mask has fully protected you. Your identity remains secret.]

"AHAHAHAHAHA, I didn't come here for nothing just after I got the mask. Secrecy and confidentiality are paramount." Wain said quite, looking up at the sky.

Wain was pleased that someone had tried to reveal his identity. It meant that his importance in the World of Darkness had increased, and it opened up new possibilities for him.

Then Wain turned his gaze to Haden's body. A massive soul slowly emerged from his pierced chest. It was like the flame of the sun, bright and voluminous, the soul showing the greatness of its previous host.

When Wain saw the color of the soul, he was shocked. It was the first red soul he had seen since the beginning of the apocalypse. 

Before that, his strongest enemy was Purple Pilgrim, and his soul was Heroic Rating. 

Haden's soul was red, and that meant it was Ascendant Rating. Wain's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to see what he would get after using this soul.

Whoosh.

The red soul flew into his body. In addition to it, Wain's body also penetrated about three hundred souls of different Rating. They were in Haden's body.

[Soul of Ambassador of Light (Whole)

Chronicle: First

Rating: Ascendant]

"All right, it's time to feel what a great reward means..." Wain muttered and crushed the soul.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Ambassador of Light level 29. Strength+12, Agility+11, Vitality+9, Stamina+10, Energy+15]

"Oh... That's quite a lot. I can feel my body filling up with power... What an incredible feeling..."

[You have leveled up to level 28. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]

[You have leveled up to level 29. You get 3 status points to distribute freely]

[You get Ascendant Rating Soul Chest]

[You get Ascendant Rating Spiritual Box]

Wain was shocked. He didn't expect to get the box and item right away. It was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. 

Moreover, he received two levels and had one last step to take before learning the conditions for the second evolution.

"Great, that's incredible..." Proclaimed Wain and opened the Spiritual Box.

Inside was a small, golden stone with an unusual shape. A powerful aura emanated from it, and it shone brightly in the sunlight.

[Shard of Heaven's Fall (First Chronicle, Ascendant Rating)

This is a surviving shard from an event of catastrophic proportions - the Fall of Heaven. With it, you can use the power hidden in the stone and summon hundreds of pillars of light from the sky. 

They will burn your enemies and drive away all darkness. This attack does not separate enemies and friends. All will be committed to the will of light.

*Virtually all First Chronicle creatures will die from this attack.

*Most Second Chronicle creatures will be mortally wounded]

"Ugh... It's a whole other level, it's an expendable item, but its power is incredible..." Wain muttered in shock.

Then Wain's gaze went to a small red chest. It was the size of a fist and could only hold some rare material or costume jewelry.

Click.

Wain opened the chest and saw a gold ring with a thick setting inside. The outside and inside of the ring had a Celtic knot carving that looked like hundreds of threads intertwined with each other.

This ring was beautiful and refined, yet it looked simple, yet had a noble and unwavering aura. It was partly a credit to its owner and creator.

[Light Seeker Ring (First Chronicle, Ascendant Rating)

Once upon a time, this was a simple ring created by a smith in love as a gift for his beloved. It was an awesome piece of jewelry, made from simple materials, but with effort and love put into it.

However, fate is cruel, and on the day the smith wanted to give this ring, creatures of darkness killed his beloved. 

Since then, he has sought the light to purify the darkness and destroy the monsters that harness this evil power. The light became a conduit to his vengeance and power.

*Energy+10, being under the sunlight Energy +20.

*Damage to creatures of darkness increased by 15%.

*Lazarus Light skill created.

"Oh, that's impressive..." Wain muttered and put the ring on his right hand.

The ring glowed brightly, and a large amount of energy was directed at Wain. His eyes glowed just like Haden's and then went out.

"Huh, I have a ghost-melting ring on one hand and a literal symbol of light on the other. That's pretty ironic." Proclaimed Wain and suddenly threw up a mouthful of blood.

"Damn... I need to go back and heal. I've done enough already."

Wain closed his eyes and found the nearest spatial rift. He walked a few dozen meters and then disappeared into the ink. Ten seconds after he went, dozens of fighters came running to the scene of the battle.

They wanted to join the incredible battle here, but all they saw were ruins and few remains from the elves. 

Fighters were stunned when they saw this, no one could have imagined that such a thing would suddenly happen to Holy Tale.

"What the hell happened here?!" One of the vampires exclaimed.

He was not an open enemy of Holy Tale, but he disliked their love and worship of the light and wanted to take the opportunity to join the massive battle. However, he was too late.

In the distance, in the crown of the trees, sat Estrid. She had been there from the beginning and had seen the entire battle. 

Every time their battle moved to a new stage, goosebumps ran down her body, and even the shockwaves of their battles reached her.

When Wain blew up the giant orb, she had to jump out of the tree and take cover behind a boulder to avoid getting hurt. When she first encountered Wain, she was surprised by his strength and speed, but now she was in awe of his power.

'A black pillar and an absolute unknown personality... I have no information about him, except that he is quite tall and male... But, I must find him. Also, he's probably not a demon. It's unlikely that a man with that kind of power would have short horns to hide behind a mask.' Estrid decided for herself.

Estrid was an experienced informer and knew several ways to get information, even about the most secretive of personalities. 

She was sure that she would find out what was hiding behind the mask of a mysterious stranger one day.

The unknown has always attracted, and sometimes it even happened that people sought the answer to a riddle for the sake of the process itself rather than the result. 

But, the most beautiful moment was when, after a long period of searching and pondering, the answer surpassed all possible expectations.

...

Whoooooosh.

Wain entered the dimensional passage and was about to return to Frozen Land, but suddenly a message appeared.

[You have left the arena.]

[Your achievements are being counted, and your rank is being changed.]
