Nameless King

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The monster crashed into the massive wall as its body was almost completely buried in it by Wain's powerful kick.

"Well, well, I'd be curious to kill someone with a God level, but since I haven't reached the Fifth Chronicle yet, we can limit ourselves to just a Demigod, can't we?" Wain said with a slight smirk on his face while slowly stepping forward.

'Hah, that really was impressive, but you shouldn't get too cocky.' Gladius said in a serious manner, 'Soon my skill will come to an end, and then you won't be able to act so recklessly.

"Don't worry. I clearly understand it, however, my power is not based on you or your skills." Wain said with an ice-cold look as he extended his arm.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Black electrical discharges appeared on his palm as clouds thickened over the arena that came just out of nowhere.

"I'm sure you can take it, but can you keep fighting after this?" Wain uttered in a calm voice before clenching his hand into a fist.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At the same time, a multitude of dark columns of thunder fell from the heavens that attacked a single target. The power was colossal, so the monster's instincts forced its action.

The monster with a wave of its hand destroyed part of the wall as it reached up. All of the thunderbolts rained down on the monster at once, but they just passed through its body, transforming into energy. Despite its wounds, the monster's eyes were impassive as if it had finally become serious.

Crackle.

Electric shocks fired out of the monster's hands, trying to hurt him, but under pressure, they turned into a dark orb, which the monster simply crushed between his palms.

"Fuck... I spent so much energy on this attack, but he just made it disappear." Wain muttered with a frowned look.

Whoooooosh.

The monster's wings swayed slightly as it flew high up. The monster glanced at Wain with a majestic look, then turned toward the river. The monster held out his hand and its fingers swayed slightly, then the dark water by the river bank trembled.

"No way... He's going to use the river against me?!" Wain exclaimed while in disbelief.

Wain did not see it, but he could feel the shaking.

The water from the river headed toward the monster with several streams. They were quite massive but compared to the size of the river they were no bigger than a drop in the ocean. The streams of water turned into a long spear that seemingly exuded no aura, but Wain's instincts told him there was a solid reason for that.

'I can't figure out how powerful this spear is...? Fuck! This is fucking bad!' Wain exclaimed inwardly with a worried look as his sword became coated in a dense layer of energy.

The monster raised his hand to attack and in a few seconds, the spear turned into a dark flash and with tremendous speed collapsed on Wain.

"Get it!" Wain shouted as he swung his sword, releasing the massive dark blade.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The spear and blade collided, causing massive bursts of energy and shock waves that spread hundreds of meters around. They hovered in the air for a while, trying to fight each other off, then the tension reached its limit and the massive energy caused a blast.

Boooooom.

A deafening explosion of black flames shook the entire earth as a cloud of dust rose high while violent wind currents left scratches as if knife cuts on the centuries-old pillars.

'Shit... That was dangerous. I need to gather more energy so I can suppress his next attack.' Wain said with a slight sigh as he looked up. The dark cloud was slowly dispersing, so he had some time to get ready for the next phase.

Suddenly something flew out of the center of the cloud, slashing it apart as Wain's eyes opened wide and a shiver ran through his body. Another spear flew toward him at breakneck speed.

Wain had only a few moments to make a decision, so he thrust his sword forward and let the spear clash with it. Wain wanted to toss the spear aside as the previous one had long withstood the collision with the dark blade, but not even a second passed before the spear trembled violently.

'What...? Why so fast?!' Wain inwardly exclaimed with a dazed look while in disbelief.

Then, the spear broke apart, allowing the energy to escape.

'Bastard... He knew I wasn't expecting such an attack and made this spear less steel! Fuck! I just had to dodge!' Wain shouted to himself with a furious expression.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

There was a massive explosion of energy, the full force of which hit Wain as he was in the epicenter.

The impact threw Wain hundreds of meters back as his face contorted in terrible pain while a stream of scarlet blood gushed from his mouth.

The crackle.

Wain slammed his back against the column as the pressure broke it in two. Wain fell to the ground with an exhausted stare as the multi-ton column collapsed on him, pinning him to the ground.

The monster flapped its wings, landed on the ground, and with slow strides headed toward Wain exuding a calm but majestic aura. Water from the river headed toward the monster's hand as well as a new spear appeared in his hand.

'What...? Can he create another one so easily...?' Gladius muttered while in disbelief, then he punched Wain in the chest and shouted, 'Wain! Get up! Damn it, take it! If you don't wake up now, he'll kill you!"

However, Wain didn't hear him. He was close to the explosion, so it caused him serious wounds, destroyed the gloves that had kept his hands intact, and almost completely ripped his coat that slowly recovered.

"Agh... The energy of Nameless King... I can finally get out of here..." Suddenly the monster uttered as if that were the multiple and most desirable thing he could say.

Whooooooooosh.

The monster raised his hand and a massive stream from the river, with eyes and bones, headed toward him.
