Nameless King

Chapter 250 Island

The next morning Wain awoke in the same bed as Isabella. His body and spirit were content, but even though a naked Isabella was lying next to him, Wain was frowning.

'I assumed it wouldn't be that easy, but it's still disappointing...' Wain thought, blowing out a white puff of smoke.

He had failed to meet the condition to activate the fifth form. Unfortunately or fortunately, lust and love were not the same thing. They could depend on each other, but sex could not be compared to the feeling of love. Even the heart beat differently in those moments.

"Good morning..." Isabella muttered, waking up.

She hugged Wain from behind and pressed herself tightly against him.

Wain only nodded weakly and blew out a puff of smoke. He smoked special cigarettes, and the smoke had a tonic effect. Isabella sensed this, but she didn't mind. In her opinion it was even better, it gave a special atmosphere.

"You know, I didn't expect you to act so tough." Isabella said, touching the bruises on her neck, "Although, who am I kidding. It was what I was hoping for."

"Less than twenty hours to go. What do you think will happen on the island?" Wain asked, changing his cigarette.

"I don't know. Nobody knows, not even you and Gisle. I'm just a simple doctor. My job is to treat all the wounded and help make our organization stand up to the monsters."

"Yeah, you're right. Honestly, I don't know what to do until tonight, so we can get on with it." Wain said and tossed his cigarette aside.

...

Until late afternoon, Isabella and Wain left the room and headed for Gisle. The island was hours away, and already everything was ready. Gisle had no worries about the organization, for he had appointed trusted people who were sure not to let him down.

One hundred people who would be members of the expedition could leave at any moment.

,m They were making final preparations, some sharpening their weapons, some resting and trying to gather their spirits, some saying goodbye to their friends.

"Oh, Wain, and I was wondering where you were!" Luar said, approaching them.

"Hey, how's your mood?"

"Huh, couldn't be better. I see you found your own way to get ready too." Luar said, smiling, looking at Isabella's disheveled hair.

"Where's Gisle?"

"He's at the plane, along with Vineta, Elsa, and Ailot."

Wain nodded and headed over there.

...

The moon was especially bright this day, as if preparing to light their way until dawn.

"Gisle, when are we leaving?" Wain asked, approaching him.

"Wain, you could at least have warned me that you stole the doctor from me. I was worried about where Isabella was. Without a doctor, we'd have a hard time. We leave in two hours. We plan to arrive on the island ten minutes before it arrives."

"Are we going to fly around the place?"

"No, we'll just soar to one point. This plane is awesome, that's no problem for it."

"Got it, then we have the last hours to enjoy the moon and wait for the dawn, which could be fatal for all of us." Wain said, looking at the blue moon.

"Of course, we all can't wait any longer, but I'm afraid we're waiting for a mountain of treasure, but we don't think we'll have to go through rivers of blood before we do."

"It's no longer a surprise these days." Vineta muttered.

"Okay, there's no point in thinking about it now. We'll find out soon enough." Gisle said, and there was silence.

...

An hour and a half later, the group began to board the ship. Among them were the strongest members of the organization. Zero, Agnes, Rita, Teresa, Grut, and others were there. However, Wain did not see one person.

"Gisle, where is Lea? Isn't she coming with us?"

"No." Gisle shook her head, "When she created that cloak for you, she met the condition for the second evolution. Now she's in a well-protected place evolving."

"Huh, this girl is ahead of all of us. She will reach a Second Chronicle before anyone else."

"Yeah, now I'm sure I didn't make the members give her their souls for nothing until she reaches level 30."

"Gisle, on the island, we may encounter some serious adversaries. Someone could do as you did to Lea, also I'm sure there will be people there connected to the World of Darkness, like Luar and me."

"I understand, but it's not a problem. Even if one person is stronger than me, Zero or Teresa, that person can't be stronger than all of us. Souls are not infinite. If someone has a lot of them, then hundreds of others don't have enough. That's the law and the unbreakable rule."

Wain nodded.

"All right, we'd better get going. Get on the plane. Your seat is in the front, next to Teresa and Zero." Gisle said and, just like that, headed for the plane.

...

Wain sat in his seat and waited for the beginning. To his right was a window, wide, almost panoramic. It stretched from the beginning to the end of the seats.

Before the engines turned on and the plane took off, Gisle made a speech.

"You all know where we're going, but I, like you, don't know what's going to happen there. However, I'm sure of one thing. We have to stick together, just like we did five months before. Each of you was able to survive when all hell broke loose, so now you will have no trouble repeating your past success."

"Yes!" Dozens of people responded in chorus.

Gisle nodded and gave the sign to begin. The turbines came into motion, and the plane rose up and flew off in the direction indicated.

Wain, like the others, waited for the arrival; he looked out the window and admired the seascape.

"Hmm? What's that?" Suddenly Wain noticed something. It wasn't a hazard. He saw small white particles falling down outside the window. They were snowflakes.

Five months had passed since the beginning of the apocalypse, and it was now the beginning of February. This was the time when it usually began to snow in Overion, and this year was no exception.

With about an hour to go before dawn, the plane was almost there. However, the pilot could not soar right where Gisle indicated, an invisible barrier prevented them from doing so. This was proof that they had arrived in the right place.

"Alright, it'll be dawn soon, and an island should appear before that. If possible, we will land on edge, flying into the center is not safe. From there, we will begin our journey, the water will be our trusty shield to protect our backs." Gisle said, looking at the water.

People nodded. They waited, then every minute was like an hour. No one was afraid, but many were anxious. The unknown has always frightened and attracted.

Tremble.

As the sky turned white in the distance, but the sun had not yet appeared, the ground shook, even the airplane, which was hovering high in the air, was affected.

Huge streams of water rose from under the water, and everyone saw a huge island appear, many times the size of an Overion.
