Chapter 158 The Canyon Monster
Isabella healed Wain completely, even though it took her enormous effort. It was a real challenge for her. She had never had to try so hard before.
At that moment, she realized how weak and insignificant she was compared to the First Chronicle creature.
"Mr. Gisle, who is Wain?" Asked Isabella was sitting in the comfortable leather chair.
"Do you want to start serving him as you did me?" Gisle said, smiling.
"What?! Of course not! I was just wondering why I hadn\'t heard of him before. Apparently, he\'s one of the main people in the organization." Said Isabella.
"Huh, okay, I\'ll tell you about him, but I wouldn\'t advise you to annoy him. Wain is the one person I can\'t control. Sure, he won\'t kill you, but he might break a bone or two in you." Gisle said calmly.
He didn\'t mind that Isabella was trying to do whatever it took to make Gisle appreciate her more than anyone else. It was a good endeavor, moreover, Isabella was a precious member of the organization anyway.
Isabella flinched at Gisle\'s words and then nodded confidently.
\'As far as I know, only Wain has evolved from all the members of Last Light. I wonder what\'s so special about him...?\' Isabella pondered.
\'You have to understand that Wain is several times stronger than anyone. I don\'t know where he\'s been or what enemies he\'s fought, but it would be a worse disaster for us than the recent monster invasion. Also, he is not a member of the organization.
I\'d say he\'s our friend who sometimes helps us out for his own reasons, most often mercantile ones. The last thing I\'ll tell you about Wain is that he\'s someone who can change the world all by himself." Gisle said calmly.
"He\'s such an incredible man... Mr. Gisle, do you know what kind of women he likes?" Isabella suddenly asked.
The question surprised Gisle, but he understood what Isabella was trying to do. If Wain loved her, he would protect her even at the cost of his life.
Gisle shook his head, "I don\'t know, but I\'m sure you don\'t stand a chance. Wain is not the kind of man who will love a girl because of her beauty or opulence. You have to be as special as he is. I don\'t mean to be rude, but Wain is not your level."
Isabella didn\'t say anything back. Gisle\'s words upset her, but she was determined. Moreover, Isabella liked guys who were brutal and strong.
...
Wain was heading toward the camp where the call for help came from. At this point, Wain was ready to fight any First Chronicle creature. The other monsters were practically useless to him.
Wain used the Sign of Lightning, so he reached the camp at the edge of the chasm fairly quickly. Gisle had chosen this place so that in the future, Clovis would build a bridge to the west side of Overion here.
But, now, this camp was in danger of being destroyed. Wain saw people running away from it. They were afraid of the monster climbing to the top and didn\'t want to get wounded.
"Look!" Suddenly one of them said, pointing to the blue lightning galloping across the buildings.
"Looks like Mr. Gisle decided to protect this camp and sent someone powerful..." Mumbled the man.
The others nodded. They decided to return to the camp and watch the battle. They were rank and file members of Last Light, and they wanted to see how strong their superiors were.
Whoooosh.
The next moment Wain jumped off the building and landed in the center of the camp. The ground beneath his feet cracked, and a small crater formed.
Wain calmly walked to the edge of the ledge and looked down.
"Not bad," Wain muttered, looking at the monster running toward him.
It was a massive monster somewhat similar to the classic werewolf. But it was bigger and more dangerous. The monster had thick, long claws to climb the steep wall, brown fur, and two horns on its head.
Wain heard footsteps behind him and looked around to see many people looking at him curiously.
\'They\'ve come to watch the fight. Well, I\'ll show them what kind of enemies they\'ll have to fight in the future to survive.\' Thought Wain, and the monster climbed to the top the next moment.
It jumped high and was in the center of the camp.
"Roooooooooooaaaaaaaarrrrr!"
The monster roared furiously, looking at the group of people in the distance.
The monster wanted to attack them, but suddenly it felt goosebumps running down its body. Behind it emanated a terrifying aura of a powerful creature.
The cave werewolf turned and saw Wain grinning. He waved his hand, and a dark sword appeared beside him.
"Come here, you nasty pup!" Said Wain and turned into blue lightning.
The cave werewolf reacted instantly. It jumped aside and prepared to counterattack, but the monster did not see its enemy.
"I\'m here," Wain said coldly and swung his sword, leaving a deep cut on the monster\'s back.
The monster\'s flesh immediately began to freeze and decompose. It was a hell of a pain, but the monster had to endure it and attacked back.
The werewolf turned around and swung its paws furiously. It tried to tear Wain apart, but he quickly blocked the monster\'s attack.
Then their arms turned into blurry blurs. They moved so fast that the people watching the fight couldn\'t understand anything.
Clanking.
Wain blocked and repulsed every monster attack. Although Wain was able to strike first, the monster was not weak. Moreover, the cave werewolf gradually accelerated.
Sparks flew sideways from their exchange of blows, and many cracks appeared on the ground.
The scene mesmerized the spectators. Each of them wanted to have the kind of power to take out any opponent.
\'It turned out to be stronger and faster than I thought, though apart from its impressive physical performance, it has no other peculiarities.\' Wain thought and turned into blue lightning.
Wain decided to step back to get some time to prepare for his next attack.
Whooosh.
A large amount of energy appeared in front of him, which quickly gathered at one point and turned into a white bullet.
Wain grabbed it and threw it at the monster with all his might. The cave werewolf reacted to this unexpected attack and dodged, but the monster only partially succeeded.
The white bullet flew into the monster\'s left leg, instantly ripping it off. The monster survived, but with such a wound, there was no way to stay anymore. It was the end for him.
Wain lunged toward the monster, and a moment later, got to it. The werewolf flinched in fear and tried to run away, but Wain wouldn\'t let him.
He swung his sword sharply and severed the monster\'s other leg. Then Wain grasped one of the monster\'s horns tightly and ripped it from its head in one motion.
The monster roared in pain, but it didn\'t bother Wain. He gripped the bloody horn tightly in his hand and plunged it into the monster\'s head. The werewolf was killed with its own weapon, and no one could stop Wain from doing it.
The white spirit flew from the monster\'s body and headed toward Wain.
[Soul of Cave Werewolf (Destroyed)
Chronicle: First
Rating: Common]
Wain immediately crushed the soul.
[You have acquired Soul Essence of Cave Werewolf level 16.]
\'Hmm, no wonder this monster was weak compared to the other First Chronicle creatures. It was Common Rating and level sixteen. It looks like the werewolf had only recently evolved, but it was unlucky to meet me.\' Thought Wain looking at the corpse of the monster.
Wain turned to the group and said loudly, "Cut this monster apart and take the horns and claws to the main base."
They nodded and ran over to the monster. They were grateful that Wain had come here and killed this monster. Otherwise, the werewolf would have caught up with some of them and torn them apart.
They would also have lost the camp, but the situation was better than before.
Wain did not leave here. He looked down the canyon with a pensive face, and then the Ring of Damned glowed brightly. A silver compass appeared in his hands.
Wain was originally going to go to the west side of town to find the rest of the map. The battle with the cave werewolf was nothing more than a warm-up before another journey.
Click.
Wain opened the compass and rechecked the direction. As before, the compass arrow pointed west.
\'Okay, the other parts of the map are definitely on the west side of town, but how do I get there?\' Wain thought.
In front of him was a huge canyon several hundred meters long and about the same depth.
Wain grinned and muttered, \'Right, I just have to go down and then climb up the other side. What\'s more, I\'ll probably be able to find strong opponents there. It\'ll be interesting and effective."
The cave werewolf came from the bottom of the canyon, which meant there could be quite a few of these monsters there. Wain hoped there was a Dungeon or a Nest. If he killed hundreds of First Chronicle monsters, he could become much stronger and get one step closer to level thirtieth.
Wain wanted to evolve a second time before the giant island arrived. He had plenty of time for that, but Wain didn\'t know how long the second evolution would last.
\'Hmm, last time I evolved, I didn\'t need to meet any conditions, but the situation will be different this time. I\'ll probably have to do something impossible.\' Thought Wain looking at the bottom of the canyon.
He drew this conclusion because he believed that the more powerful the main soul was, the more difficult the conditions for further advancement were. It was a logical conclusion that seemed to be true.
