Nameless King

Chapter 281 The Countdown

Forgotten was a swordsman, and it was his calling. He devoted himself to the art of the sword and mastered swordsmanship at an excellent level.

Frigus also used the sword in combat, his style was different since he was armed with paired blades, but he still wanted to learn something from Forgotten.

He was a master, and his every move was honed hundreds or thousands of times. Over the course of so much training, he had gained invaluable experience and knowledge that was only available to him.

"Would you like to spar? Huh, in that case, I'll join you too, but later." Wain said and entered the spatial rift.

Forgotten nodded and followed him.

They ended up in the lab and headed for the plane.

'Hmm, strange, the chains didn't bind Forgotten. Perhaps it only works on the island? In that case, isn't the island a separate space?' Wain pondered looking at Forgotten, whom the world did not put any pressure on.

Wain informed Elsa that he was taking the plane and headed for the island. Elsa and Vineta decided to stay in town since one of the leaders had to be here, especially at this time. No one knew what would happen in a few hours, and in case of danger, they had to protect their people.

...

Tremble.

The plane shook, and they landed near the camp of Last Light.

"Where's Gisle?" Wain asked, approaching Clovis.

He didn't see anyone from the main cast, of the people he knew, only Clovis, the man with the soul of a lumberjack, was left.

"Oh, Wain, how good to see you!" Clovis exclaimed.

There were few people in the camp, only a few people, not counting Clovis. This alarmed Wain. It could be a big problem if something happened to Gisle and the others.

"What happened? Where is everyone?"

"They're in the middle of the island. Gisle decided it was urgent to establish power on the island before twenty-four hours had passed. They have to fight the other organizations who came to the island now." Clovis said quickly.

Not only did Last Light arrive on Merge Island, but other people from towns where the map appeared or where they were able to collect all three pieces.

Gisle wanted to have complete control of the island. He had expected to deal with it a little later, but the twenty-hour timer forced him to force the issue. By the time disaster struck, he had to have complete control of the island. Otherwise, chaos would ensue.

"I see."

"Looks like I have another battle to fight for today." Forgotten muttered, and his aura began to intensify.

Whoooosh.

Suddenly chains appeared in the air and shackled him. They sensed his intentions and must have lowered his strength to optimal levels. Forgotten tried to resist, he could not break the chains, but he easily dodged them.

But, the chains sped up considerably and restrained him, lowering his strength to the limit of First Chronicle.

"Huh, looks like we're equal now." Wain said.

"Well... my strength may have weakened, but my mastery and skills remain the same. Okay, time to go."

Wain nodded.

'Hmm, apparently Eva is there too, but I don't have to worry about her. She can compete even with me. If Maria went with them, it should be an easy win.'

...

The island's center was a spacious field with several trees growing on it. As Clovis said, the organizations were already fighting.

Everyone in the four towns was able to assemble the map fully. It appeared in many more towns, but finding and obtaining three map pieces was no easy task.

During the search for the second part, Wain and Vineta almost died. They were only saved because Wain had the right Title to protect them.

One of those cities was Arkadale, but Eva was a loner, and she didn't share the map with anyone, unlike Wain. In the other two cities, the situation was about the same as in Overion.

The strongest organizations combined to find all parts of the map and went to the island. Against two of these now fought Last Light.

Everyone was fighting against everyone else, so the battle was chaotic and incomprehensible. Gisle tried to hold the line so the allies could help each other, but it wasn't easy to do with everyone having super strength.

However, he organized some important points. For example, several people were always near Isabella and moved only when someone needed help. The same was true for other people with auxiliary souls.

Bam.

There was an explosion of bloody flames in the distance. Eva was there, and she was in her second state.

'Huh, she looks even crazier now than in the bloody river.' Wain thought.

,m Forgotten traced the trajectory of Wain's gaze and mouthed, "Is that your woman?"

Wain nodded.

"I see. Only force can curb madness. Wain, what is our task? Do we kill and destroy our enemies or capture them?"

"The second, as I see it, Gisle is trying not to kill anyone and Maria. He wants to make them our allies, even if by force. If we kill everyone, we get no advantage from the battle."

"All right, then, that's what we'll do."

"I'll go to Eva, or we'll soon have no one to take prisoners."

Forgotten nodded, and they turned into two flashes, white and black. Even though Forgotten's strength was lowered, he was still faster than Wain. His movements and steps were smooth and precise, and he did nothing unnecessary.

...

Gisle was the commander, but he didn't stand behind. He was in the center of the battle and led the others.

He believed that this was how a leader was supposed to behave, especially when he could stand up for himself. Gisle was the leader of the organization and one of its strongest members.

Five men surrounded him, but he wasn't going to back down. Gisle gripped the hilt of his katana tightly and took a deep breath. He was about to swing it, but suddenly a tall man wearing a dragon robe appeared in front of him.

Particles of ash appeared next to the attackers, and the weapons fell out of their hands, and they fell to the ground as if fainted.

'What?' Gisle was puzzled and alert.

He figured it was one of the Pillars, who had managed to stay on the island by some miracle.

Forgotten could be here since he came from the human world, so the island did not expel him.

Forgotten turned around, and his robe fluttered in the gusts of wind.

"Hello, my name is Forgotten. I am a Wain's friend and have come to your aid. I didn't have to kill them, did I?"

Gisle was silent for a few seconds. He was puzzled about where this man had come from but then came to his senses and said, "Yeah, it's okay. Welcome to our team. We try not to kill our enemies whenever possible. Humanity has to be together and work together, especially when like this."

"I understand you. You are preparing for disaster. Frankly, even my heart trembles at this. Somehow I have a feeling it's going to be something great." Forgotten uttered, looking up into the sky.

Then he raised his sword high up, and hundreds of ash particles emanate from it.
