Nameless King

Chapter 491 Energy Stream

Wain touched the Skill Book as he looked up what skill he had gained.

[Energy Stream (Third Chronicle, Ascendant Rating)

A powerful spell that belonged to a member of the Elf Royal Family. This is one of the main spells a member of the Royal Family needs to master to have a chance at ascending to the throne.

Fires a powerful stream of compressed energy. Power depends on the magic circle and the amount of energy applied]

'Not bad, that would work for me.' Wain nodded.

He had three skills, so he had to choose which one to remove. He quickly made his choice.

Whoooooooosh.

A blue rune flew out of his body as a red rune flew into the Soul Altar. Wain decided to remove Black Flame Zone. In his opinion, it was the weakest skill.

'I wonder if they're done yet?' Wain thought as he turned around.

While he was fighting, Elmar, Erza, Ern, and Alas dealt with the Elves. It was a hard fight, but the winner was obvious.

Bam.

Ern shook the ground again with a powerful fist punch as he crushed the skull of the last Elf. He swung his hand, knocking the blood away, and canceled Beyond.

"Phew... That was fine, though I'm a little disappointed." Ern muttered as he looked at the dozens of corpses around him.

Even though there were more Elves, they could do nothing against them. The Elves were members of the Royal Family, but they were a far cry from the warriors who had been through hundreds of battles. Ern's fists, Alas' wind, and Erza's flames were insurmountable obstacles for them.

"Okay, we got rid of the Elves, but what do we do next? Where can the core be?" Alas asked.

Ern, Wain, and Erza wondered. Their information about the Forgotten Forest was limited, no one had any clues.

'We have no idea where the main treasures are, but...I have one way.' Wain muttered inwardly as he closed his eyes concentrating.

Unlike Alas or Ern, who came here for the treasure and the Royal Spirit, Wain had a different goal. He had long sought the entrance to the Forgotten Forest to find the Running Light. It was necessary for the sixth form.

"What is he doing?" Ern asked.

"Trying to find something...?" Alas scratched the back of his head.

'There!' Wain turned around.

He looked into the distance, there was nothing there, just a few small hovering islands, but he could feel the energy flows from there.

"Alas, create a tornado. We need to get there." Wain said seriously.

"Hmm? Are you sure? There are only a couple of islands there. Could anything be interesting there?" Alas doubted, "Maybe we'd better head north. As we flew here, I saw a lot of big islands there."

"I know there's something unusual waiting for us there. The rest is not important. Let's go." Wain stared at Alas.

"Okay." Alas sighed, "But, this is definitely a mistake. We're just wasting our time."

Whooooosh.

He swung his spear as he created a whirlwind. They headed in Wain's direction.

Alas and Erza were skeptical of the idea, but Ern had a different opinion. He felt that Wain could not have made such a decision without reason.

...

"We're here." Alas muttered.

"Like I thought there was nothing here." Erza shook her head, "There isn't a temple or even a single spirit on these two islands. All we can do here is sunbathe! Wain, because of you, the Royal Families might get ahead of us!"

"Next." Wain said calmly, "Fly on."

"Wain, what's going on?" Alas was unsure.

"Just fly on." Ern said seriously, "Wain knows what he's doing."

"Okay, but this is the last time." Alas nodded.

They flew through the islands and into empty space. There was nothing but clouds for hundreds of yards around. Alas often wanted to stop and go back, but Wain and Ern wouldn't let him.

After half an hour, Alas' patience was at its limit.

"That's it! We have to go back!" Alas stomped his foot as his whirlwind increased slightly.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the space next to them trembled. It was as if the wind had touched the transparent wall and revealed it.

"What?!" Alas turned around.

There was still a void ahead, but everyone realized it was an illusion.

"Huh, I knew it. This is the Forgotten Forest, it can't be that simple here. The main treasure is always hidden, so this place is no exception." Wain stepped forward as he struck the air.

His fist should have gone further, but instead, it stopped. There were several cracks in the air, and the next punch shattered the space like huge glass into many shards.

A bright light fell on them, so they even had to close their eyes to keep from going blind. Gradually the light faded, and they could see what was behind the secret wall.

"It's incredible..." Ern muttered.

"It is so beautiful..." Erza whispered.

In the distance was a giant tree, hundreds of meters high. A majestic and ancient aura emanated from the Tree, and its leaves shone brightly like the sun. Thousands of Spirits flew around the Tree. They enveloped the branches of the Tree in streams.

On the ground beside the Tree were dozens of ruined temples, dungeons, and castles. It was the ancient legacy of the Forgotten Forest and its center.

"It is... The Tree from the legends... It is said to have given our ancestors their extraordinary powers, thanks to which the Elves were once able to become the strongest among the Pillars." Alas muttered as his eyes went wide. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Aahahahahahaha." Wain laughed, "Alas, you said going here was a mistake, then this is the best mistake I've ever made in my life! Come on. There are all the treasures of this forest waiting for us!"

"Yes. I'm glad I was wrong. To see this Tree is every Elf's dream. I hope the Royal Families don't get here anytime soon." Alas said sincerely.
