Chapter 77: Water

Lea looked at the description of the object and frowned. The blade in Lea's hands looked sharp and deadly. Then she handed the blade to Gisle, and he gave it to Wain.

[Blade of the Tree Horn (Primary Chronicle, Rare Rating)

It was an excellent material to create a formidable weapon, but an inexperienced and inept blacksmith had turned this horn into the worst garbage possible. Any self-respecting person would never pick up this weapon]

"Yeah, that's quite a description." Wain thought and swung the blade. 

To his surprise, it was quite a strong weapon. This blade was sharper than most swords and daggers, yet again the description said it was not a weapon but garbage.

Wain handed the blade to Lea and said, "Don't feel bad. That kind of description is specific to your soul."

Lea said nothing. She only frowned, she was hurt that she had created such a terrible object. Lea tried hard, she thought she could make a masterpiece this time, but the reality was more brutal.

"I agree." Gisle stepped into the conversation, "On the contrary, I would rejoice if I were you. If the second weapon you've created has such sharpness and ease and it's called garbage, imagine what a masterpiece would be like. Don't give up."

Lea again answered nothing and nodded. She still sat in one place for a long time with a frown on her face. Lea did not tolerate failure well and was highly susceptible to criticism.

Gisle and Wain were right to support her. Otherwise, she might even have become depressed.

After that, Gisle handed out instructions to the people and Clovis, who headed off to cut down trees. For the next two hours, nothing happened, and Wain became bored.

'The checkpoint is progressing fast, but I'm wasting time here. I need to level up and find the souls I need, but where can there be many monsters with the lightning attribute? I need to find the Dungeon.' Thought Wain and headed deep into the woods.

Gisle saw this, but he said nothing. Wain was not someone he could and wanted to control. 

Wain was on his own. Gisle thought of ways to get Wain to be with them all the time, but he soon realized that it was a futile task.

He didn't want to ruin his relationship with Wain. He was fine with it, for Wain was the strongest he knew, and that was the main thing.

It was also one of the reasons why Gisle wanted to develop as quickly as possible as a leader. He wasn't stupid and understood that if he were to be the leader of the main base in Overion, Wain would help him from time to time.

That way, he would maintain a relationship with a strong ally and build up his power faster.

"When we capture a few points, we'll have to come up with a name. There will only be more people as time goes on... eh, it's such a headache." Gisle muttered.

...

Wain decided to go straight ahead, the sea surrounded the forest and the city on the other, so Wain walked forward and hoped to meet strong opponents.

After a couple of minutes, he saw the first monsters. They were three massive wolves with red fur and creepy fangs. At that moment, they were asleep and had no idea that anyone intended to attack them.

Wain waved his hand, and a plasma sword appeared in the air and rained down on the wolves, but Wain didn't have time to kill the last monster. 

The red wolf was able to react and bounce back. The beast acted instinctively.

Seeing Wain and the sword floating in the air, it pounced on him. Wain did not retreat. At that moment, the wolf was no danger to him.

The monster opened its mouth wide and tried to grab Wain's flesh and tear it apart, but at the last moment, Wain disappeared from the monster's sight. He found himself on the left side and punched it with his fist as hard as possible.

From such a strong blow, the monster flew aside, this attack did not kill the wolf, but then the plasma sword collapsed on him, and the monster's head fell to the ground.

Then three white souls flew into Wain's body.

Wain immediately crushed these souls and gained a small amount of Soul Essence.

"Not enough. It's too little. If I don't find a Dungeon here, then I'll kill every living thing in this forest and move on to another area." Wain thought.

Even if he killed all the monsters in this forest, it didn't mean that there would be nothing else to fight in this area. 

Monsters could have appeared because of any phenomena or cataclysm that occurred with some periodicity in this world. The most important factor was the presence of Soul Essence.

For the next few hours, Wain explored the forest and fought. To his disappointment, he did not encounter anyone strong enough for him to call it a battle to the death.

But, a few monsters managed to wound him. One of those monsters was a ten-foot-tall Ent. It was a large creature resembling a tree, only with arms, legs, and a deadly mouth.

Wain thought he would have no problem killing this monster, but that was not the case. He had to use several skills, and after their battle, one area of the forest turned into a place of craters and fallen trees.

However, this battle helped Wain get closer to one of his main goals. He had leveled up to 12, and now he only had three levels left before he could evolve.

"Judging by the map, I've already walked a third of the forest and still haven't found the Dungeon or the Nest. That's not good. I need to move towards the sea." Thought Wain.

After a few minutes, Wain emerged from the forest and found himself on the edge of a ledge. 

It was impossible to get directly to the beach from the forest because the forest was much higher than the shore, and there was a ledge of more than ten meters in high.

Wain looked into the distance and wondered, 'When the apocalypse began in this world, the dark barriers at the borders of the visible world disappeared. There was nothing like that in my world. 

This world is quite different. Given that Overion is in the northeast, I am now looking in the direction of where the dark barriers were.'

While in Overion, Wain had already encountered several strong opponents. Some of them were in the World of Darkness, with some he had fought in the city. 

Wain understood that this was only the beginning, and in a month or a year, this world would be significantly transformed, and it would be easy to find monsters several times stronger than the Forgotten.

But, the main danger lurked in the lands beyond the dark walls. Wain believed that there might initially be creatures there that were comparable in power to the worst monsters that existed at the moment.

'The lands formerly hiding behind the dark barrier are vast. All the most interesting things must be there. But, it will be a while before I can get there.' Wain thought.

In theory, Wain could find a boat or even a whole ship and try to swim there, and it was quite possible, but not after the apocalypse.

"Even before the apocalypse, the underwater world was not fully explored. There must be many dangerous monsters out there, many of them like the monsters from myths and legends," Wain muttered and looked at the shore.

He had come here hoping that near the sea would have strong monsters and great numbers. But, to his disappointment, there were no monsters on the shore.

"Damn, do I have to go back? Because I woke up rather late, the sun is already going into sunset. Staying in the woods at night is not a good time." Wain muttered and walked toward Gisle's camp.

But, after a couple of steps, he stopped and muttered, "If I want to level up, I need a lot of monsters, which means I need to stay here instead of leaving here."

Wain tried to think rationally and logically, but at the moment, this way of thinking was not helping him. It was hindering him. 

His top priority had to be getting Soul Essence, which meant the night forest teeming with monsters was the perfect place. It was risky but profitable.

So Wain went back and looked out over the sea, behind which the sun was slowly disappearing. When deep night fell, Wain was ready to fight. He had healed from all his earlier wounds and was full of strength.

"All right, let's go." Said Wain, but as soon as he took a step, he heard a thunderous rumble.

Wain turned around and saw that clouds with hundreds of blue lightning bolts had gathered over the sea. This was happening not far from the shore so that Wain could see everything.

"This is not a normal thunderstorm or storm. Under normal conditions, thunderclouds can't appear so quickly. There must have been a large amount of Soul Essence accumulated there." Proclaimed Wain.

He waited to see what would happen next. If a monster appeared in the wake of this storm, it would indeed possess the attribute of lightning.

"Given the power of these electrical discharges, the monster will be mighty and unique. In that case, I might be able to get the soul I want." Wain considered himself very lucky to be in this place.

Then all the electrical discharges turned into one powerful lightning bolt that struck the water. Wain prepared for battle, he thought a monster was about to appear in that place, but Wain's expectations were not to be.

No monster appeared at the spot where the lightning struck, but Wain saw a massive well of ink-black water emerge from the water.
