Nameless King

Chapter 1114 Repair

Over the course of the long battle, the colosseum had been damaged many times already, but only two of them were so serious that they resulted in the actual destruction of any part of it.

The first time was done by Ereg with his most powerful attack of the crimson energy ray. However, it didn't take long before Gael answered his opponent in the same way - completely crushing Ereg with his attack and unique technique.

Gael slowly stepped forward, majestically and calmly heading towards the center of the arena. He had a slight smile on his face and his gaze was directed at his opponent who was struggling to stand on his feet.

Ereg was breathing heavily, while clots of blood crashed to the ground, falling from a wide, diagonal wound spread across his chest.

In fact, the wide wound was even on his back, since the light blade had practically gone through his body. The only thing that saved Ereg was that the dark barrier was able to weaken the light blade, so his sturdy body was able to withstand this incredible damage.

"Agh... Agh... Agh... Agh..." Ereg was breathing heavily, standing hundreds of meters away from the colosseum.

Between him and the colosseum, there was a long path appeared due to his feet sinking into the ground and leaving a long line behind him. In the end, Ereg didn't give up, he actually tried to stop the light blade, but Gael was just much stronger than him.

"Hey, are you alright? How are you feeling?" Gael asked with a happy grin on his face. He was obviously happy with the result, not that he was able to hurt Ereg, but that Ereg was still on his feet.

"Not bad... Although, it's unlikely that I'll be able to continue fighting while in this condition. If I were to make even one mistake, your blade would cut me in two. It wouldn't be good at all... to die like that and at such an important moment for both of us." Ereg muttered without raising his head.

He looked at his palms, shredded in multiple places due to the particles of light. They were bleeding and Ereg could barely squeeze his fingers, but he felt that it wasn't the limit yet.

However, he was not going to continue fighting like this, as he realized that it was certain death. One more attack from Gael and their battle would end with Ereg's death.

"Oh, he's experiencing joy." Krana muttered, looking at Ereg standing in the distance.

"What are you talking about?" Nila asked with a slight frown.

Krana tilted her head, touching her lips thoughtfully, "Hmm... I could be wrong, but it sounds like he's glad his body was able to take it. Apparently, he had some sort of backup plan. That's for sure."

Alucard smirked, "Well, well. Krana, is it just me or are you learning too damn fast? At this rate, by the end of the fight, you'll be able to fool me and I won't even realize it." ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

After a while, Ereg walked slowly back into the arena. All this time, he kept his head down, as if he had already admitted defeat, though it was obvious to everyone that this was not the case.

Then, Ereg looked around and met his gaze with Nitra, who was watching the fight with some uneasiness.

She didn't want their battle to end as she had learned so much from it, and she didn't want it to stop. The longer Gael and Ereg fought, the more information she would gather - that was the most important thing to her.

"You... You're in charge at Constructs, aren't you?" Ereg muttered with a bitter smile, "In that case, knowing higher technology you should have a way to fix the destruction we've caused to this wonderful place. Wouldn't you?"

Nitra's eyes went wide since she was slightly puzzled. However, she soon realized what Ereg was talking about, looking at the two holes in the colosseum.

"He's right. If they continue like this, very soon the colosseum won't be able to withstand it and will collapse." Liang nodded deeply, "We must think of something to rebuild and strengthen it once more. Otherwise, we'll lose such a valuable battleground, the only one of its kind."

"Well... I guess I can try. However, I need his help to do so." Nitra said, looking at Alucard standing off to the side.

Alucard pointed to himself with a slightly surprised expression.

"Hmm? How can I help you? I don't know how to create anything unless it's some sort of blood object." Alucard shrugged.

Nitra waved her hand, "That will be enough. I've long ago analyzed what this colosseum is made of, and there isn't any magic here."

Nitra pointed to the massive stone on which she stood. The entire colosseum consisted of thousands of these stones, stacked tightly on top of each other, so much so that it was impossible to squeeze a thin blade between them.

"These stones are composed of a very dense material, but I can easily make as many of them as necessary, however, the stones are only the basis of the most important runes. To create a rune-like this you need paint, obviously I'm explaining just to make it clear." Nitra shrugged.

"Paint...?" Krana tilted her head in a confusion.

Nitra nodded, "Yeah, technically you could call it paint. You need any material that can be applied to stone to turn it into a rune. Naturally, ordinary paint or even Fifth Chronicle molten energy crystal won't work. It will be too weak to withstand the attacks of strong creatures like Ereg and Gael."

"However, we have a material that is best suited for this task and that is Alucard's blood. It is the essence of an immortal creature and a Progenitor with incredible power. If you use his blood to create runes, the stones will be even stronger than before." Nitra exclaimed confidently, waving her hand.

Alucard smirked, "Well, I didn't think it would ever come to this, but I agree to do it. If the colosseum collapses it won't be good for anyone."

Then, Alucard looked at Gael and Ereg, "Hey! How about we take a little break?"

Ereg and Gael exchanged glances, then they nodded.

"Sure. The end of the last round has already been decided as well as the beginning of this one. Only when Ereg moves on to the next stage our fight will officially continue. Do what you need to do. I wouldn't want the Colosseum to collapse because of our actions either." Gael said with a slight smile.

Ereg nodded, "I agree. Don't worry about me. The bleeding won't be able to kill me, I feel more than worthy."

Liang turned to Nitra, "That's not all, is it? Let's say you create the stones and make runes out of Alucard's blood, but they still need to be energized to make it work, don't they?"

Nitra smirked, "You're a quick thinker, right? Well, you're not wrong, it's just like you said. That's why, you're going to be a part of this too, because your energy is just abnormally powerful."

"Damn... A few minutes ago, you were listening carefully to my advice, but now you're calling the shots here. Looks like this is something you're really good at. Fine, I'll help you. If my energy is useful, I'll be happy to do so." Liang sighed while shaking his head.

At the same moment, Nitra nodded and turned into a blob of darkness, appearing at one of the wide holes in the Colosseum.

Alucard and Liang immediately followed her, quickly finding themselves in the same spot.

Nila and Krana looked at each other puzzled. They wanted to be involved too, but there was no need for them since they couldn't help them.

Then, Nitra's ring shone brightly, and in her hand appeared a spherical mechanism with a black round crystal in the center.

She pointed it towards the stone, and the mechanism began to study the object in front of her. Trace, the energy came out of the dark crystal that like a beam of light began to copy one stone after another.

Nitra added some of her energy to make the ghostly stones real from the same material the other few thousand were made of.

"Well, now it's your turn." Nitra smirked, turning to Alucard.

"Come on. Don't you want to do it yourself? Take as much blood as you want, I'll allow it!" Alucard grinned with an excited expression.

Nitra giggled, "Well if that is your wish, I will do it with pleasure."

A blade of dense darkness appeared in Nitra's hand, which she swung quickly, leaving a long cut on Alucard's arm.

The immortal creature's blood gushed outward, but not a single drop fell to the ground as Alucard was in control. He realized that in this case, his blood was a valuable material that could not be lost.

"Not bad. However, if I were you, I'd work on accuracy. You missed a few important veins." Alucard smirked.

"I know." Nitra shrugged, "That won't be necessary. Go ahead, we need to finish the job as quickly as possible."

Alucard nodded and swung his hand. His blood came into motion and split into multiple streams. Each stream turned into a rune on a single stone, of which there were dozens to completely cover the hole.
