Chapter 45: A Creature Scarier Than A Monster

The guy who decided to attack Wain was named Aitor Menendez. He, like many people, had already activated his Soul Altar and killed quite a few monsters. However, he preferred to get stronger in every way possible.

He could increase his power by killing monsters, but he could also get stronger with the help of other people. Unfortunately, he couldn't get a soul or Soul Essence when a human killed a human. Furthermore, a person couldn't steal the souls that another person got from killing monsters.

However, there was no barrier to one person being able to rob another. Just as before the apocalypse, people could rob other people. It was easy, fast, and efficient.

Aitor had not originally planned to attack Wain. After all, Wain was very strong, and Aitor would get nothing if he attacked Wain. But, when he saw the lighter appear in Wain's hands and then disappear and his ring glow simultaneously, Aitor changed his mind. He couldn't pass up this opportunity.

He didn't know what the ring was or how Wain got it, but it didn't matter. Aitor understood the functionality of this ring, and that was enough.

'If I can get this ring, I won't have to worry about how much stuff I can carry. He's a lucky bastard to be able to get such a thing.' Aitor thought to himself and rushed towards Wain.

Aitor's soul was entirely focused on hand-to-hand combat. Thanks to the effect of his soul, he had already killed over fifty monsters with his bare hands and had never been wounded. After he got his soul, he became times more skilled than the best melee masters in this world.

Wain looked at Aitor running toward him with a calm face. Wain didn't know what this guy was thinking, but he didn't feel threatened by him.

'His aura is so weak and unstable... Perhaps he has a strong soul for being so sure of himself, but he himself is nothing.' Wain thought.

The next moment Aitor attacked. He punched his fist, aiming for Wain's stomach. His attack was swift and deadly. No human could have reacted to such a blow.

In Wain's mind, however, the blow was slow and clumsy. He lifted one foot above the ground, then turned 90 degrees, thereby dodging the blow.

Wain then tossed his cigarette in the air, grabbed Aitor by the hair, and struck him lightning quick with his knee to the face. That single blow knocked out several of Aitor's teeth. But Wain wasn't going to stop there.

He instantly delivered a crushing punch to Aitor's stomach. This blow was so powerful that the young man threw up a mouthful of blood and flew several feet away, crashing into a garbage can.

Wain grabbed the falling cigarette on the fly, brought it to his mouth, and blew out a puff of smoke. His attacks were too fast and powerful for Aitor to react to. Although Aitor was better at hand-to-hand combat than the most skilled masters because of his soul, he could not match Wain.

First, Wain surpassed Aitor in total stats. This was obvious since he killed many more monsters. But, even without the stats, Wain's skill was many times greater than Aitor's, even with his soul.

Before the apocalypse began in his world, he was the best assassin, and his skills didn't go anywhere. On the contrary, he honed his skills even better when he fought monsters as a simple man without superpowers to get his soul.

Wain walked slowly toward Aitor. By this point, the guy was already on his feet. Moreover, he had no intention of running away. He knew from the beginning that defeating Wain would not be easy.

'Damn, what was that all about? I didn't even realize what had happened. There will be my grave if he hits me a couple more times. It looks like I'll have to use my skill.' Aitor thought.

Besides the main soul, Aitor also managed to get one pretty strong skill. He thought he could manage without using his skill, but now he realizes that was a big mistake. His skill gave him tremendous power, but it also hurt his body badly. Even if he wins and takes the ring back, it would take him a long time to recover.

When Aitor made his final decision, his aura began to increase. His skin began to roughen and coated with a thin layer of metal. Moreover, iron spikes appeared on his arms and legs, which could easily tear the flesh of most monsters.

"Not bad, boy, not bad. It looks like you got pretty lucky." Wain muttered, staring serenely at Aitor.

"Shut up. You'll be dead in two seconds!" Aitor said furiously and lunged toward Wain.

Wain waved his hand, and the dark sword flew toward the young man. Aitor instantly reacted and dodged the sword, but when he turned towards Wain, he saw a massive fist in front of him.

Crack.

There was a loud crunch and the metal layer instantly shattered. There were also many cracks across Aitor's skull. Wain had put quite a lot of force into this punch.

Aitor thought he would faint, but he had the strength to come to his senses. At that moment, he was no longer thinking about winning. He wanted to escape and survive. Even though he was using his skill, Wain's bare fist was many times stronger.

However, Wain was not about to let go of whoever dared to attack him. Wain turned around and landed a precise kick to Aitor's knee. A cracking sound was heard, and Aitor's left leg was broken. Wain then attacked Aitor in the chest, thereby breaking his rib cage.

Aitor fell to the ground, exhausted. He was still alive and looking at the calm Wain. Aitor wanted to start begging for mercy, but he didn't have the strength even to do that. He knew Wain was about to kill him, but he had no idea what awaited him.

Wain exhaled a club of smoke and lowered it to Aitor. He looked into his eyes full of fear and said, "Boy, haven't you been told that greed doesn't do you any good? Although, that rule only works for wimps."

Wain then shook off the ash from his cigarette, and his hand went to Aitor's eyes. At that moment, there was a pitying cry throughout the neighborhood over the terrible agony Aitor was experiencing.

After a couple of seconds, Wain left the gas station and headed toward the park again. He had no further business in the place.

Suddenly a strong wind blew in, and his black cloak fluttered in the wind. Behind him, someone might have seen a decapitated body whose head was slung on a road pole. The eyes on the head were scorched out.

"Eh, too bad all the stores are already looted. I only have a few cigarettes left. Something needs to be done about that." Mumbled Wain as he climbed up the building.

Several people in one of the buildings saw what was going on in the blown up gas station. Each of them trembled with fear, for they had witnessed what this world was like now.

They saw a horrible monster like a demon from hell, but then they saw a creature scarier than that demon, and that creature spared no one.

...

Wain hopped around the buildings, gradually approaching the park from which a strange aura emanated. He kept a close eye on the surroundings and pondered his next plans.

'Hmm, I got lucky with this spontaneous gas station explosion and the appearance of a fire demon. So I got one of the three souls to get the Plasma Destruction Sword. But, getting the soul with the fire attribute was the easiest. Where do I find a soul with the poison attribute, and even more so, where do I find a soul with the darkness attribute?' Wain thought.

'Poisons... Where can I find a large number of different poisons? In some factory? Perhaps... but I don't like that option. Moreover, there don't seem to be any factories in the eastern part of Overion, at least the big ones. Perhaps I should look for a black market here?' Wain pondered.

He knew better than anyone that anything was possible to find on the black market, from simple things to rare and forbidden stuff. Of course, drugs, poisons, chemicals, contraband goods were abundant in such places.

Wain didn't expect that if he found a black market here, there would be a monster with the attribute of poison waiting for him. However, because he would find a lot of poison there, he could create a poison monster from some insect or zombie himself.

Wain did not know if there was a black market on the eastern side of the Overion, but he was sure there was. There was a dark side to even the brightest star. It was inevitable. Moreover, the brighter the light, the deeper the darkness.

But, Wain also had another option. The dark market would help him find or create a monster with the poison attribute in the city, but that was not the only solution to this problem.

'There is a forest near the university. It is almost impossible to find poisonous insects in the city, but the forest is the territory of animals and insects, not people. Therefore, I can find poisonous insects and get the soul I need. But, it would be better if I could find a black market.. Besides insects, there are other dangerous foes in the forest that I will encounter.'
