Nameless King

Chapter 897 Chance

Unlike the Humans, the other races could not use two attributes at once, their bodies simply could not withstand the opposition of two different energies that tore them apart. Even monsters and vampires weren't capable of that, even though they were the best at absorbing energy or had superior regeneration compared to other races.

'Damn, ice and darkness... two attributes, but despite the fact that his heart is struggling to beat, he is still alive. Moreover, he has reached the boundary of the Fourth Chronicle, so were it not for this little problem, he would be one of the strongest monsters that I have ever met.' Wain inwardly muttered looking at Wolf's wound.

"Leader... are you serious?" Wolf asked in disbelief as a wave of shivers ran through his body, "Do I really have a chance of surviving?"

"Yeah... However, it won't be easy at all, or rather, the chances of us being able to save you are minimal, but there are." Wain said with a slight nod as he looked into Wolf's eyes, "Now I understand why you're so insistent on participating in this experiment. You think going to the Fifth Chronicle will save you, right?"

Wolf nodded hastily, "Sure, I feel like every day my body is getting closer and closer to its limit, so if I get a stronger body I can take the pressure!"

"Nah, you're wrong." Wain shook his head causing Wolf's face to turn pale with intense fear.

"What...? Are you sure about this? Maybe there's something you don't know?" Wolf muttered with hope in his gaze.

"Unfortunately for you, I'm sure of what I'm saying. Look, if the experiment succeeds and you move to the Fifth Chronicle it will actually help you. You'll live an extra few months, maybe even a whole year, but that's the most your body can take." Wain said calmly as he waved his hand.

"Even if you're an incredible genius and can reach the Demigod Stage and then the God Stage within that year, it will still only postpone your death. Those who reach the God Stage may live for thousands of years, but for you, it'll be less than a decade, obviously, that's not a good prospect, right?" Wain muttered as he glanced at Wolf.

"In that case, what do I have to do to survive? I mean, your words weren't lies, right?" Wolf asked in a panic as he realized that his plan was doomed to fail from the start.

"Sure, don't worry about it. If I said you had a chance to survive, then you do, however, it's going to be a little more complicated than you imagined." Wain said with a shrug as his gaze became serious, "If you want to survive before you have to enter the path of the Transcendence Stage."

Wolf blinked with wide eyes trying to understand what Wain was talking about since he didn't even know there was anything higher than the God Stage.

"Agh... Damn, looks like I'll have to give you a long lecture first so we can move on." Wain shook his head before he began to educate Wolf about what was beyond the God Stage.

Wolf was puzzled as his dream was simply to reach the Absolute Stage, but now he learned that there was something that was on top of everything, a real pinnacle.

"Leader... If I understand correctly I have to reach the Transcendence Stage to heal, but how am I supposed to do that? Is it possible?" Wolf asked with a confused look as he waved his hand.

Wain shook his head, "I didn't say that, I only said that you must join the path of the Transcendence Stage, which means that right when you enter the Fifth Chronicle, you must meet several conditions so that you have a chance of reaching the Transcendence Stage in the future."

"Agh... I see, it's some kind of preparation, right?" Wolf asked trying to figure out what was something very difficult for him.

"Yeah. That way you permanently relinquish the power of followers that perhaps you might have had after the Absolute Stage. You will become just like Frigus, that is, you will rely only on your power and your confidence must be limitless." Wain said with an ice-cold look as his aura intensified, "However, if you make a mistake now, you will die right on the spot, it's up to you."

Wolf gulped, as Wain's look actually frightened him, but Wolf made a decision almost instantly since he had no other choice that would suit him anyway.

"I agree. Even if there's a 1% chance of success, it's still better than living a few more months knowing I'm already dead." Wolf said seriously as his eyes became sharp as blades, "Leader, tell me, what conditions must I meet to get on the Transcendence Stage way?"

Wain smirked, nodded, and said, "It's simple. Two different energies are eating away at your body, each one trying to become one, so they are gradually destroying you. To get rid of this deficiency, this energy must become yours, stop belonging to this world."

"But... how am I supposed to do that? If I give up the energy I'll lose all my powers... maybe I'm willing to do that, but then I'll never be able to reach even the First Chronicle again... I can't live like that, it would be worse than death." Wolf muttered with a dark look as a shiver went through his body.

"Hah, that doesn't make sense. If you give up your energy, your body will start absorbing it from the environment and it will happen all over again. To get your own energy you have to do something very simple." Wain smirked, "You have to achieve 100% blood purity, then everything gets easier."

"100% blood purity...?" The wolf muttered in disbelief, "Is that possible? How can I do it in such a short time?"

"Well... You're lucky I'm here today." Wain said as a sly grin appeared on his face.
