BXBX NOVEL Chapter 266 The Winged Whirlwind
Undead and the girl stared at Wain. Unlike him, they hadn\'t fought one of the Four Kings and didn\'t have the Legendary Rating skill.
They could feel the ancient aura emanating from Wain\'a, and the bone wings instilled terror and fear in them.
Legendary skills, items, and souls were special, not only because they surpassed others Ratings. The Legendary items had a piece of a creature\'s or a group\'s, maybe a city\'s or an entire country\'s history.
Wain was only at the beginning of his journey, and excluding Nameless King\'s Forms, it was his first Legendary skill. He could feel a piece of the Wyvern in him, his way, and even their last fight.
It somehow increased his strength and senses, but he did not yet fully understand how this power works.
The maddened monsters from the roar of the massive beast ran toward Wain. Each of them was First Chronicle, and their average stats were above 150. For most, any of these monsters would have been a formidable opponent, but Wain\'s strength was overwhelming.
He stared at the runing monsters like an ancient dragon at the wretched worms. Wain thrust his sword out in front of him and leaned forward slightly.
His bone wings moved slightly, and his eyes flashed. Wain\'s silhouette blurred, turning into a black comet that struck more than a hundred monsters like lightning.
Some of them Wain slashed with his sword. Sharp bone wings killed the rest.
In just one second, he killed many monsters and covered a distance of several dozen meters.
The platinum sword was covered in blood, which slowly trickled down. Massive scarlet drops fell from the blade\'s tip and soaked into the lifeless ground. The bone wings covered in blood looked like the branches of a sacrificial tree, and Wain looked like a reaper.
Undead and the girl looked at each other. They understood each other without words. When they saw this deadly lunge from Wain, they realized how great his power was.
They decided that they would kill Wain first and then fight amongst themselves in the event of a battle.
Otherwise, he would end their lives in a few attacks, and they wouldn\'t be able to resist it. They hated to admit it, but he deservedly became the second challenger, his strength proving it.
The beast that made the monsters rage was not far from the crystal, and Wain decided to head toward it. The beast sensed Wain\'s intentions and decided to accept his challenge.
"Roooooooaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!"
The beast roared, and massive stones rose in the air. They joined together and became small meteorites. The beast swung its paw, and the meteorites flew toward Wain.
He didn\'t retreat and instead made another dash. Wain cut his way through, splitting each of the meteorites in two. He strolled forward amidst the rubble and hundreds of bones.
Other strong monsters also turned their attention to Wain. His strength and bloodthirsty aura emanating from him endlessly attracted them. They wanted to fight to the death, and he was the perfect candidate.
The monsters headed toward him, gradually creating a ring around him. He was in the center of the arena and starring in this battle.
"Decided to attack all at once? Well, I don\'t mind, but it\'s worth raising the stakes." Wain uttered and activated one of the skills of his cloak.
Dark energy began to emanate from it, and a fallen spirit\'s piercing cry was heard. This attracted the other monsters, who chose not to engage in battle, but could no longer hold back.
More than several hundred monsters pounced on Wain. They wanted to tear him apart and devour him.
Even the beasts fighting the Undead and the girl stopped paying attention to them and headed toward Wain.
"What\'s he going to do?" Undead muttered. He understood that Wain was no fool and had some plan, but even Undead wasn\'t sure he could handle that many enemies.
Crackle.
When the monsters were close enough, Wain decided it was time to act. The bracelet on his hand glowed brightly, and he put his palm to the ground.
The Ice Lord Bracelet erupted in icy flames, and the ground trembled. Ice crystals erupted from beneath it, piercing the monsters close to Wain.
Then the ground trembled again, and behind the first wave, a second more powerful one appeared, resulting in the third wave of huge crystals that wiped out all the monsters in the distance.
Wain spent quite a lot of energy, but he had already killed several hundred monsters. Only the strongest ones who could dodge the ice crystals or defend themselves somehow survived.
Whoooooooosh.
Wain flapped his bony wings and headed for the massive monster.
[Title - Slayer of Goliath, activated]
A message appeared in front of Wain, and he felt his power increase slightly. The monster was large enough for the Title to activate.
The beast prepared to attack and raised its massive paws high. It brought them down on Wain, but he stopped at the last moment and jumped up.
Wain made a full turn in the air and used his wings and sword to inflict many small wounds and cuts on the monster. They were not fatal, but now the beast was bleeding seriously.
The beast tried to attack, but Wain blocked the attack with his sword and then threw the weapon at the monster.
The weapon struck the beast\'s shoulder and pierced through it. Wain didn\'t expect this to happen but quickly figured out how to take advantage of it.
He landed, took a few steps back, and extended his arm forward. The sword lying behind the monster answered his call and flew towards it. The monster reacted and recoiled to the side.
\'Damn, it\'s too survivable, though I have a weapon against enemies like that.\' Wain thought and used the second skill of his cloak, Souls Waterfall.
A great deal of energy began to emanate from the cloak, and then a hundred dark spirits burst free, raining down on the monster like hail.
They plunged into the monster\'s flesh and inflicted severe wounds on it. The spirits also negatively affected the monster\'s psyche and disoriented him.
While the monster was dealing with the spirits\' attack, Wain ran up to it and jumped high up. He landed on the monster\'s back and thrust his sword into its head with an icy stare.
The monster was tough and resilient, but no one could survive such an attack except an immortal.
Bam.
The monster\'s massive carcass fell slowly to the ground, and a cloud of smoke rose up. A purple soul flew from the monster\'s body and headed toward Wain.
[Soul of Raging Beast (Destroyed)
Chronicle: First
Rating: Heroic]
This monster was quite strong, but it was far from Legendary level. After the battle with the Wyvern, such enemies could no longer be surprising for Wain.
Wain swung his sword and headed toward the crystal. There were several monsters next to it, which Wain killed easily.
Undead and the girl were too far away to suspect anything. All the while, new flashes were flying out of the crystal, and monsters were being resurrected. There were even more enemies than before.
Wain approached the crystal and saw strange symbols behind it. He didn\'t know what it meant, but he decided to touch it. He felt the crystal, and suddenly an energy charge entered, and he heard a strange voice.
\'Time never stands still, and there is only the past and the future, the present exists for no more than a fraction of an instant. What can bring back the past can change the course of the future.\'
"What does that mean...?" Wain muttered. He was puzzled, but that was not the end of the secret message.
\'Only he who is willing to sacrifice the present and the future can find the way to the unexplored or the eternal.\'
Whoooooosh.
The crystal glowed brightly, and many bright flashes flew out of it.
Undead and the girl continued to fight. Each of them had already killed more than a hundred monsters, they were not wounded, but their energy was not infinite, unlike their enemies.
The monsters continued to appear, and their numbers gradually increased. Even though the Undead and the girl outnumbered them in strength, it was not enough to kill several thousand resurrected creatures.
Wain didn\'t understand the hidden meaning of the message, but when he looked at the blue flash that came out of the crystal and fell on the creature\'s bones, the puzzle began to form.
