Nameless King

The girl did not expect Wain to dare such a crazy act. There was no way she could have reacted to Wain's lightning attack.

Initially, Wain had no intention of killing her, but when she mentioned the special card, Wain changed his mind.

The guards didn't notice that Wain attacked the administrator, as they looked straight ahead and rarely looked inside.

Wain decided to take advantage of this. He didn't want to cause a commotion before his time. When the girl was killed, he ripped the card from her neck and positioned her as if she were still working. Someone had to get close to the front desk to realize that she was dead.

Such a deception of vision was only possible because the girl mainly worked sitting behind a high chair. It didn't make sense for her to be standing all the time, given that there were rarely any visitors.

Then Wain quickly ran to the very top. He could have called for an elevator, but it was too long and inappropriate in such a situation.

Half a minute later, Wain was at the very top. There was a particular door to open that needed a card. Wain put the card to the sensor and went on.

Even though the apocalypse had begun, some individual places might have remained intact, like the top floor of this tower.

Everything still worked here as it did when it was a luxury hotel. The reason was that the top floor was too high for anyone to hurt it.

Wain understood that he could have opened this door without a card. He could have simply kicked the door from its hinges with brute force.

However, Wain did not know what would happen when he did so. He wanted to fight the head of Black Pear's one-on-one. This would have become impossible if panic had begun.

The top floor was almost completely empty. Wain slowly paced the narrow corridor, which was decorated with red carpet. He moved toward the massive door at the end, behind which was the best room in this hotel.

Wain understood that the head of black Pearl was there and had not yet suspected anything.

'Maybe I should attack and kill him right away. No...that doesn't make any sense. It's unlikely he's so weak that he cannot react to my attack. What's more, judging by the reaction of that guardian, the head of Black Pearl is aware of the existence of the World of Darkness. Perhaps he has some useful information for me.' Wain thought as he approached the wooden door.

Wain was sure that the head of Black Pearl had already evolved. It was a logical assumption since Harald, who came from the west side of town, had already evolved and wasn't even the organization's head.

Snap.

Wain opened the door and stepped forward. He entered a luxurious room with a massive oak desk in the center and a large leather chair. It looked like an executive office, which was no mistake.

The chair had its back turned to the entrance because, at that moment, the person sitting in it was admiring the beautiful view through the panoramic window.

Whoooosh.

The chair turned, and Wain finally saw the head of the strongest organization in the northern part of the city. It was Luar Jacquinot. He had long blond hair and azure eyes.

He was dressed in a red shirt and black pants, and he had a glass of expensive red wine in his hands.

'He seems to be enjoying his position. I wonder how strong he is?' Thought Wain.

Wain was now certain that Luar had evolved as he emanated a powerful aura that no ordinary human could have.

'Apparently, unlike Gisle, he is not in the business of filling out and signing papers, which is why he was able to find time to evolve. Most likely, the administrative work is done by his deputy. He only gives basic orders.' Wain pondered, looking at the shocked Luar.

He hadn't expected a complete stranger to suddenly walk into his office.

"Who are you?" Luar asked cautiously.

Wain smirked and said, "I'm a promising newcomer. I was given this emblem and told to head this way. I don't really understand the situation I'm in myself."

Luar was silent for a while and then closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and laughed out loud,

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, guy, you are funny. I practically believed you."

Wain didn't respond. He didn't understand why Luar had such a strange reaction to his words.

"You're a rookie? Don't talk nonsense. You killed the girls downstairs, which means you didn't come to me to drink tea or discuss the weather either." Said Luar, and his aura began to gradually increase.

'Hmm? How did he know I did that? However, maybe that girl had to report back to him every few minutes, making sense. However, it doesn't make sense.

This isn't a secret base or lab to impose such security measures. He did something when he closed his eyes.' Thought Wain and his aura just as it began to build up.

Luar thought he could quickly deal with Wain. After all, Luar rightly thought he was one of the strongest people in the Overion. But when he saw Wain's terrifying aura, he realized how wrong he had been.

'Damn, has he evolved already too?! But how?! I was sure there wasn't another person in the town who could evolve as fast. Moreover, my Seal of Darkness began to pulsate. It seems to have passed the test of the World of Darkness as well.' Luar thought.

He was not prepared for this unexpected turn of events. No human or monster had ever had an aura greater than his own before. However, Luar had a way of dealing with such an unusual situation.

Whooosh.

Luar bounced to the side and then turned into a golden flash. Wain prepared to attack, but Luar did not attack him to his surprise. On the contrary, Luar jumped out the window and climbed to the roof.

When Wain realized what had happened, he ran after his enemy. He could not allow Luar to run away from him in such a situation. However, Luar wasn't really going to run away. He decided to change their battlefield.

Within seconds Wain climbed to the roof and, looking at Luar, said, "Why did you bring me here? Are you preparing a trap, or are you afraid that our fighting will hurt your precious office?"

"Not exactly, but you're right about something. You made a big mistake by coming judging without preparing!" Luar shouted and pulled a white amulet from his pocket.

At the same instant, the lightning boots appeared on Wain's feet. He didn't know what the amulet did and didn't want to check.

Wain turned into blue lightning and ran toward Luar. He thought it would take Luar some time to activate the amulet.

However, when Wain was halfway there, Luar suddenly crushed the amulet, which turned into hundreds of white particles.

The white energy transformed into various symbols that covered the entire roof area, thus creating a makeshift arena.

Wain didn't understand what had happened and the effect of this amulet and ran on, but suddenly he realized that his speed had significantly decreased.

Then Wain saw several messages in front of him.
