Nameless King

Chapter 746 The Last Zone

"Well, in that case, I want this." Wain said as he pointed to Soul Pearls.

"Hmm? How strange, I didn't expect you to turn out to be a Pearl Hunter..." Krakos muttered with a confused look.

"I'm not a Pearl Hunter, however, if you're serious, I need Soul Pearls, just one will be enough." Wain spoke with a slight smile on his face as he raised a finger.

"Huh, you really are weird, well I would agree to give you even all 6 anyway if you asked me to!" Krakos exclaimed with an excited look as he waved his hand.

Whooooooooosh.

The white orb headed toward Wain as he caught it like a ball. Then, Krakos tossed him a flask that hit exactly in Wain's hand.

"Go ahead, hold up your end of the bargain." Krakos said with a confident look as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Sure." Wain nodded as he opened his wrist, preparing to give blood.

"Stop! Are you really going to do that?" Marlis exclaimed with a worried look as her eyes went wide.

"Yeah... You yourself say that every zone on the way to Death Shore will be more dangerous than the last, so this is a good opportunity to save your strength at the cost of just half a liter of blood." Wain muttered with a calm expression before swinging his sword.

A thin streak appeared on his wrist, then a stream of dark blood spurted from it, the scent of which headed toward Krakos. He took a deep breath and his pupils narrowed heavily, and energy spilled over his entire body.

'Unbelievable... Compared to HIS blood, any Soul Pearls, even the purest is nothing more than a piece of dirt...' Krakos muttered inwardly with a delighted look.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The blood slowly filled the flask, while the wound gradually healed. By the time the wound was completely gone, the flask was already filled to the brim with blood.

"That's enough, isn't it?" Wain asked as he stretched his arm forward, holding the flask with two fingers by the narrow part.

"Sure. Pleasure doing business with you." Krakos said with a slight smile on his face as he snapped his fingers.

Whooooooooosh.

Two bats flew out of the shadows. They grabbed the flask from Wain's hands and brought it to Krakos, then, disappeared again into the dark corners of the castle.

"In that case, we have to go. Marlis, let's go." Wain said in a calm manner while heading for the castle exit.

Marlis was still in shock that the situation had turned out this way, but finally nodded her head and followed him.

"See you later." Krakos smiled while waving his hand as though saying goodbye to old friends.

Wain and Marlis walked a few kilometers away from the castle, then Wain activated the first form and used the energy from Soul Pearl to open a portal, creating a new staircase of light that led to the next area.

'This will probably be the last area before you get to Death Shore.' The Code of Light and Darkness suddenly said.

'Great. I can't wait to see what the seventh form is like.' Wain inwardly muttered before stepping onto the stairs with a calm look.

...

"Well, well, who would have thought such a special event would happen today?" Krakos muttered with a smirk on his face while looking at the flask, "This guy... If I'm not mistaken it's finally happening soon. Hah, that's just great!"

The ring on his finger glowed brightly as the flask disappeared from his hands.

"Fine, in that case, I need to move too! It's time to leave this wonderful place!" Krakos exclaimed with an excited look as he spread his arms.

Whoooooooooosh.

Hundreds of bats headed toward him, flying into his long coat. They turned into fiery runes that gradually filled his entire coat, leaving not a single empty space.

"Agh... How nice to feel alive again... I am more patient than most, but such a long wait can tire anyone. Well, I've finally found a reason to regain my full power." Krakos uttered with a slight smile on his face then he grabbed his chest.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The space beside him trembled as chains, invisible before, appeared around his body. They were exactly the same as those on Marlis or Dimension Guards.

"The containment chains of the Purgatory zones are actually incredibly powerful... but I have no reason to stay here anymore, so... there's no need for them now either." Krakos muttered in a calm voice before swinging his arm.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The chains shattered into multiple links and flew aside, then a powerful stream of energy burst out of Krakos that turned into a pillar, aiming for the heavens.

"Fine... How long has it been since I was at the peak of my powers? Quite a while for sure..." Krakos said as he looked at the flaming orb, "Well, this toy doesn't make any sense anymore... nor does this area..."

Krakos extended his arm forward as his energy surged outward. Nothing happened in the castle, it seemed like Krakos was doing nothing, but he just had a slightly different purpose as then, a magic circle of tremendous size appeared over the entire area.

"I have found a suitable gift for my lord... so, it is time to leave. If I am right, this guy's path will change many things." Krakos uttered as he clenched his hand into a fist.

At the same time, the magical circle shone brightly as hundreds of magma rays that destroyed everything in their path rained down on the ground. It was like the beginning of the apocalypse, ending one of Purgatory's zones.

Whooooooosh.

With a wave of his hand, Krakos destroyed all Soul Pearls and tore the space apart. Then, a path of fire appeared in front of him that lay across the open space.

Before leaving Krakos turned around one last time and muttered, "That wasn't a bad temporary home, I'm even a bit sorry to destroy this place, but we all need to move on sometimes don't we?"

Step.

Krakos stepped onto the fire path and the portal closed.
