Nameless King

"What is it?" Wain was puzzled. Golden energy emanated from the stripes on Erza's body, and space seemed to get heavier.

"I can tell you, but first, I have to be sure." The white-eyed Spirit smiled and headed toward Wain. He deliberately emitted a killing intent so that Erza would react to it.

Whooooooosh.

Erza quickly rose to her feet and appeared in front of the Spirit. He smirked, and Erza blew his head off with a powerful blow of his hand, and it flew aside like a ball.

Erza's eyes glowed with golden light, and several golden locks appeared among her hair.

The Spirit's body didn't attack back; the body went for the head, picked it up, and put it back in place. Even such an attack failed to cause the Spirit any serious damage.

"I see. I didn't understand how an Inerian could be so strong without a man. It's impossible, but not in your case. Tell me, were you aware of the Ancient Queen of Inerians' blood flowing through you?"

"What? What are you talking about?" Erza asked and prepared to fight. Her fists and feet were covered in golden flames, and space trembled with her aura.

"Oh, so you didn't even know about it, though that's not surprising. Most Inerians don't even know about the Ancient Queen."

Erza did not attack. She didn't know if the White-Eyed Spirit was telling the truth or not, but she was surprised by the power she suddenly had. The golden attribute was not peculiar to her. It was a unique power that could only be obtained by mixing other attributes.

"I don't know everything, but I'll tell you what I'm sure of. The Ancient Queen was the strongest an Inerian, and she was also the only Inerians woman who obeyed and served a man, namely the King!"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking?" Erza frowned, "That's complete bullshit. Our men are weak and helpless. We need them to be stronger and take care of them."

"Ah, you misunderstood me. The King wasn't an Inerian. It was a member of another race, one who in the great war was able to change the course of destiny."

"A representative of another race...?" Erza turned around and looked at Wain. Their situation was similar, she was attracted to a representative of another race as in the story.

'King? Could it be related to my soul?' Wain thought.

"What do you know about it? What kind of war is this?" Wain shouted.

"I'm sorry, but that's all I know." The white-eyed Spirit shrugged, "This place is part of the Spirit Temple, and a small shard of the temple is kept here. I learned it from there, there was a short story written there about the Ancient Queen of Inerians, war, and the mysterious King she obeyed and served."

"You mean to tell me my destiny is to obey a man?! Don't bullshit me!" Erza became angry and attacked the Spirit. She transformed into a golden flash and delivered a powerful punch to Spirit's stomach.

However, Spirit blocked it with his palm, and a large amount of dark energy emanated from him.

"Not bad. Now you can defeat even many Third Chronicle creatures, but we are still at different levels despite that."

The Spirit grabbed Erza by the arm and tossed him aside. He shook his finger, and a fist of darkness appeared from the ground, piercing Erza from the bottom up. Then several more fists appeared, and the Spirit continued beating Erza until she fell.

She was alive and conscious, but she needed time to recover.

"I understand your frustration, but this has changed. It's not even about fate, and before I told you, you only had an interest in him." The Spirit pointed at Wain, "I'm not sure, but maybe it should have been that way from the beginning because of your blood. Even though you're trying to seem independent, you were actually almost dying of happiness when he took care of you. Even a fool would have noticed that."

"Shut up!" Erza shouted, and her cheeks turned red. The Spirit saw through her and clearly understood her emotions. Erza was not stupid, she had long known there was something wrong with her, for none of her kin had such a problem as she did. She was the only one who didn't like men.

"Okay, now you." The Spirit said, and the cage next to Wain disappeared, "Use your unusual power, I want to experience it for myself."

Wain nodded. He had no chance to refuse, he realized that the Spirit was watching them, which meant he knew everything going on during the test.

'I think it's my turn. This Spirit is quite interesting, he still hasn't revealed his second power.' The voice of Code of Light and Darkness echoed in Wain's head.

'Good. I hope you won't let me down.

'Has that ever happened?' Code of Light and Darkness smiled, and a white and black armor appeared on Wain, and his hair became long and white.

"Not bad." The Spirit nodded satisfactorily, and dark spears appeared next to Wain and came down on him from all sides.

Whooooooosh.

A sword appeared in his hand, and he knocked the spears aside, then Wain used the special skill of the first form, and a massive Yin Yang sign appeared on the ground.

The Spirit was much stronger than Wain, so their stats didn't balance, but Wain did it because the Code of Light and Darkness asked him to do so.

'Okay, this is a great place, but I'm going to feel really bad after this...'

The sign glowed, and the light energy of the mountain headed toward the white part of the sign. It gradually absorbed the darkness until only a small dot remained, then the dark parts of the armor began to change, and Wain's eyes glowed white.

"What unusual strength, but from the looks of it, you're weak." The Spirit smirked.

"Yes, my physique is nothing now, but you must always give something away to get something." Wain said, and a colossal snake tail appeared above him.
