Nameless King

Harald received orders from his head to go to the eastern part of Overion and find the one from whom the pillar of light emanated. When Lea created the masterpiece, every person in Overion became indirectly aware of the event.

Harald had unique and powerful abilities. He was able to fly to some extent, but only once every few hours and for a limited amount of time.

One man told Harald where he needed to go to find a person who emanated a pillar of light that pierced the heavens.

When Harald landed near Gisle's group, he was stalling and trying to figure out which of the two hundred or so people emanated the right aura. When Harald saw Lea, he immediately lunged in her direction.

He used his skill and turned into a blue comet. His speed was incredible. Even Zero and Agnes were unable to react to his movements.

Moments later, Harald was ready to grab Lea by the arm and kidnap her, but suddenly a tall silhouette in a black cloak appeared before him.

Whooosh.

Wain grabbed Harald's wrist with one hand without taking the cigarette out of his mouth. Harald was shocked. He hadn't expected anyone other than the head of his organization to be able to react to his jerk.

Moreover, Wain's grip was so strong that Harald's armor was crumpled like a piece of paper, and he could not budge.

"Did you really think you could come here and take our blacksmith? I see you can run fast. It wouldn't be nice if you suddenly lost your legs. What do you think?" Wain said coldly.

His voice was terrifying and seemed to come from the farthest reaches of the abyss. Harald grew frightened, he didn't think there would be someone so powerful in the eastern part of Overion.

'What is going on here? Who is this person! Selena said that no one in the eastern part is stronger than me and the head. Could this person have suddenly appeared from somewhere! There hasn't been any change for two months!' Thought Harald.

Whooosh.

Suddenly Wain threw out his cigarette, and with lightning speed, struck Harald in the leg. Harald realized that he was unlikely to escape from here if he got that punch. So he decided to use his most powerful skill.

Harald's body turned blue, and he turned into a blurry blur. He didn't get stronger, but his speed and agility increased several times. The proof was that the gauntlet from his armor remained in Wain's hand.

Harald could escape Wain's grip and move a safe distance away, but he wasn't sure what he should have done next.

'Damn, this man is pretty strong, but maybe in my current state, I can win. However, I'm unlikely to be able to handle the others, there are over two hundred people here who have already awakened their Soul Altars, and they're ready to fight. Maybe I should run away.' Thought Harald.

In the end, he made another decision, 'No, I have to get this girl. Selena said this girl is the best blacksmith in the whole town, at least the one who activated Soul Altar. I can't miss this chance. I just have to kidnap her.'

Whooosh.

Then Harald turned into a blue comet again. This time he was three times faster than before, and not even Wain should have been able to react to his movements.

However, as soon as Harald took a few steps, a flash of blue lightning suddenly appeared in front of him. Wain also had a skill that greatly accelerated him.

He tried to dodge when Harald saw Wain, but it was too late.

Bam.

Wain punched Harald in the face at high speed. From such a strong attack, Harald flew aside and vomited blood.

His nose was broken, and several teeth were knocked out. As he flew, his body destroyed a small structure behind him.

"Stay away from him. You're not his level, it looks like he's already evolved." Said Wain walking slowly toward Harald.

"He's already evolved...?" Teresa said, shocked. She had killed dozens of monsters, but she still had one level to raise before she could begin the evolution process.

"You're not bad. I didn't think there would be anyone else here who evolved besides me." Proclaimed Harald spitting blood.

"Why do you want Lea?"

"Silly question. She is a blacksmith who was able to create an incredible object. People like that are precious. A great deal will depend on them in the future."

"How did you know about her being a blacksmith and the fact that she is here?" Wain said coldly.

"You ask too many questions. Do you really think I can't get away from you!?" Shouted Harald and turned back into a blue comet.

He instantly passed the ten meter mark and thought he had managed to get away from Wain, but suddenly Harald realized that he couldn't budge.

Wain was behind him and held Harald firmly by the shoulder. Wain's grip was mighty, and Harald could feel his precious armor turning to scrap metal.

"You know, I don't really care how you know about this. After all, we're about to take over the whole Overion." Wain said coldly and turned Harald toward him in one motion.

Harald was ready to attack, he intended to block Wain's attack and retreat at the opportune moment. But, he could not resist what happened next.

Wain grabbed his head and then kicked him in the face with all his might. The knee strike was one of the most powerful punches a human could make. Even a full force fist punch was not as traumatic as a knee punch.

Harald almost fainted. He could hardly keep his feet, and his eyes were blurry. The last two blows had definitely given him a severe concussion. The only thing that could save him at that moment was escape.

So Harald tried to bounce to the side, but suddenly he realized he couldn't feel the ground beneath his feet. This happened because Wain made a sweep right after the knee strike, and Harald lost his balance.

Wain then took a step back and kicked Harald in the stomach with lightning speed. This attack was vertical, and from the bottom up, so after this crushing blow, Harald flew several meters upwards.

Wain prepared for the final attack. He was going to punch Harald in the stomach again when he almost reached the ground. This time, he would strike not with his foot but with his fist.

"Wain, stop! We have to question him!" Said Gisle, but it's as if Wain didn't hear him. In his opinion, Harald had to be killed right now, or he might run away.

Bam.

Three seconds later, when Harald almost reached the ground, Wain did what he had initially planned. His fist sank like a hammer into Harald's stomach, turning his internal organs into a bloody mess.

Even though Harald had already evolved, he wasn't strong enough to survive the series of powerful blows. Wain punched at full force, he wasn't about to let his guard down in a battle with such a dangerous foe as Harald.

Naturally, Harald could not survive so many crushing attacks. He threw up a mouthful of blood and collapsed, exhausted to the ground. A few seconds later, he let out his last breath.

Everyone was stunned, even strong people like Teresa and Agnes. They hadn't expected that someone as strong and fast as Harald would suddenly appear. After all, they couldn't even keep track of his movements.

But, most of all, they were struck by Wain's strength. Many of Gisle's people didn't know him, and some of them were even indignant that Wain was walking ahead of everyone else with Gisle. But, now, all their resentment was gone and replaced by elation.

The thought that there was such a strong man among them pleased them. At that moment, each of them had only one thing in mind: to survive.

That was their first priority. None of them had any thoughts of seizing power yet. They wanted to follow Gisle and conquer new heights.

On the other hand, Gisle was the only one who was not happy with the situation. With annoyance, he shook his head and said, "Wain, couldn't you just break his knees? He must have had some useful information."

"Maybe you're right, but I think, in that case, he would have tried to escape again, and then I wouldn't have held back anymore. Either way, it would have happened the way it did." Proclaimed Wain.

"Well, we'll find out soon enough anyway. He said he came from the west side of Overion. We'll have to go there after we take the north." Said Gisle.

"Yes, we will soon own this entire city. It will be the beginning of a great journey." Proclaimed Wain was looking at the blue moon.

Gisle nodded, looked at Harald, and said, "Take his armor off and take it back to base. If you notice anything unusual, show it to me first. Perhaps this man had bombs or explosives of some kind."

Several men nodded and quickly took everything of value from Harald's body. The most important thing was his armor, made of sturdy, high-quality materials.

In the future, Lea or another blacksmith could repair this armor, and it would be good equipment for one of Last Light's members.

Several men headed for the base, and Gisle was ready to give the order to keep moving forward. But, suddenly, Harald's body glowed brightly. Everyone stepped aside as they reflexively thought his body was about to explode. But it wasn't, and Wain understood that.

Whooosh.

Suddenly a tiny thing flew out of Harald's body and soared through the air.
