Nameless King

Wain raised his sword as he directed most of his energy toward it. Even if the monster was seriously wounded, Wain didn't believe it was enough to end such a powerful creature, so he needed a last resort.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The darkness turned into a massive torrent of energy that reached the heavens. The eerie jaws in the darkness made even the eyes floating in the river among the bones wary.

"Come on, don't make me look stupid. One attack certainly wasn't enough to beat you, was it?" Wain said with a calm look while letting massive waves of aura out.

Whoooooooosh.

Suddenly the water rippled as if from an earthquake, then a silhouette flew out of the river from which a dark liquid quickly flowed.

"Huh, you made it out of there, after all, that's what I expected." Wain smirked before he collapsed the sword with all the energy that he had accumulated.

He did this rather slowly while the energy turned into a massive blade that was accompanied by several dozen creepy piranhas. On their way to the monster, they destroyed space and caused powerful shockwaves that left more and more damage on the ruins.

"Thank you." The monster suddenly said with a sincere expression as new wings grew from his back, dark as they were made of water in the river. On each wing was one massive eye with a red pupil like that of a deadly butterfly.

"For centuries I have been shackled by the fear of this river... I tried to learn to control it... but all I had to do was sink into it..." The monster muttered as he glanced at the dark water and lightly waved his hand, "I thank you, so your death will be swift!"

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The water trembled as, at the will of the monster, massive streams headed toward Wain. The currents had no form as before, it was the pure destructive power of one of the most dangerous places in the world.

Blade and the piranha faced the torrents of water as they confronted each other, but the torrents just absorbed and swept away the most powerful attack Wain was capable of.

Wain's pupils narrowed as he immediately activated the sixth form and turned into a golden ray. He retreated at the very last moment or the water would have destroyed him.

"No way... How do I deal with this...?! My attack couldn't do anything to it!" Wain muttered in a trembling voice while in disbelief.

Wain was confident in his Beyond as a unique weapon that never failed him. Only once had its jaws failed to penetrate the enemy's defenses, but then Wain managed it by increasing the power, but now his attack just fell away as though it were something insignificant.

Tremble.

The ground trembled as water erupted from beneath it that lifted Wain up like a geyser.

"I will keep my promise. Your death will be swift." The monster said in an ice-cold voice as he folded his arms together.

At the same time, a second torrent of water came crashing down on Wain, clamping him between the two, bringing down a mighty pressure, broking all his bones, and squeezing his organs.

"This is the end. I will find a worthy use for your energy." The monster uttered in a majestic manner as the eyes on his wings glowed brightly.

Whoooooooosh.

From its pupils flew two rays of compressed energy as though lasers were headed toward Wain with lightning speed. Wain saw it, but it was too fast for him to do anything with it, and the pressure was keeping him from moving freely.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

There was a deafening explosion that left horrific wounds on Wain's body and threw him a hundred yards away. His sword flew aside and lodged in one of the columns while a stream of dark blood gushed from his mouth.

The shockwave swept away all the trees that were near the ruins and turned the massive boulders into small debris. Such an explosion was capable of seriously damaging even an old Dragon.

Bam.

Wain fell next to the river bank as a massive crater formed at the site of the fall. Wain's eyes were practically empty as all he could do was barely breathe and move his fingers slightly.

"You're still alive? Unbelievable. Your body is stronger than I could have imagined. If you had come here when you reached the Fifth Chronicle, even with the power of the river I wouldn't stand a chance against you, but... you made a fatal mistake..." The monster muttered while slowly stepping forward.

The energy in his hand was building up into another spear. It was simple, long, and dark, but it contained an enormous amount of energy.

No one could help Wain. He was near death, and every second his condition grew worse as the ashy ground beneath him was covered in the blood leaking from his many wounds.

Step.

The monster took one last step as he stopped ten meters in front of Wain, at the edge of the crater.

"This place will be your grave." The monster said in a calm voice as he raised his spear, preparing to attack.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The waves of energy from the spear made the river wobble as it broke its banks and several streams flowed down the crater, straight to Wain.

"I give you ten seconds to say your last words. Perhaps you have the strength to do so." The monster said as his aura multiplied.

Wain could hear nothing because his eardrums were ruptured in the explosion as well see practically nothing because of the thick veil over his eyes. All he could do was feel the cold ground with his fingertips, which was suddenly wet with dark, eerie water.

'Well, well, your situation is really very bad, isn't it?' Suddenly there was a mysterious voice that sounded right in Wain's head, 'You've forgotten what your true power is again, it's quite ironic. It's not devouring or destroying, it's... though you know that better than I do.'

Tremble.

Wain's soul trembled as his heart began to beat faster.
