Nameless King

"I didn't really want to do this, but I promised someone, so...I had no choice." Blind Sorcerer smirked.

"No!" Claus exclaimed.

Blind Sorcerer touched the ring, then it shattered into small shards, and space shuddered. Many cracks appeared in the air as if the world was ready to collapse at any moment.

The dark night sky turned blood red, and so did the moon. A spear sign with two torn wings appeared on the moon.

"Bastard! Are you associated with the Blood Legion?" Claus said angrily.

"Yes... You could say that, but I'm not their ally."

"Hmm?" Claus frowned.

"The problem is that they didn't come here to save me. They came here to kill me, obviously, anything that gets in their way, they will destroy, and of course, you and your academy themselves will try to stop them without realizing it. Isn't that a beautiful triangle?" Blind Sorcerer smiled.

"You're missing one detail." Claus said calmly, "If I kill you, there's no reason for them to stay here anymore."

Tremble.

His robe soared upward, and half of his face was covered by a purple mask. His powers increased dramatically, the floor beneath him began to crack, and the space became unstable.

The Blind Sorcerer said nothing. He was only silent, smiling enigmatically.

"Die!" Claus exclaimed as he attacked.

Whoooooosh.

Suddenly a stream of blood appeared in front of him, and a hand emerged from it and grabbed Claus by the throat.

"He's mine. I won't let anyone touch him, this bastard will die by my hand and no other way." A commanding voice rang out from the stream.

Claus got out of his grip and bounced to the side.

A tall girl with short red hair and dark eyes slowly emerged from the stream. She wore crimson armor and a long spear in her hand.

She turned to Blind Sorcerer, "You look miserable, though you should."

"Who are you?" Claus asked warily.

"Anna Heintz." Blind Sorcerer muttered, "The leader of the Bloody Legion and my ex-girlfriend."

"What the fuck..." Claus muttered. He expected to hear anything, but not this.

"Shut your mouth motherfucker!" Anna said furiously, "Our relationship was my worst mistake. I'm sure you used your magic to trick me because you just used me to get yours."

"And what are you going to do now?" Blind Sorcerer smiled.

Anna walked up to him, "Kill you in the bloodiest way possible, as befits a Blood Legion Leader."

"I wouldn't mind, but I promised not to touch you."

"What? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"I didn't summon you to save me from him." Blind Sorcerer pointed at Claus, "But to fulfill my obligation to my partner."

Anna frowned; she didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Hey, will you get started already?" Blind Sorcerer shouted, "If you don't, I have to deal with her again! I have principles too, you know."

"Okay..." Suddenly there was an eerie voice as space shook.

A crackle.

A thin dark line appeared in the air. Then the world seemed to split in two.

The massive, long spire was sliced in one single sweep, very precisely as if a surgeon had done it.

"What the hell!" Anna exclaimed as she tried to keep her balance.

Claus jumped up and created a platform of magical circles beneath him. He didn't understand what was happening.

Whoooooosh.

Someone else appeared in the room, it was the Dark Skeleton. He stared at Anna, his empty eyes shining like two crimson torches. Scarlet energy emanated from his sword, it turned into eerie ghosts, and they hovered around him, searching for a suitable victim.

"Who are you?" Anna asked quietly. This was the first time she had ever seen a Skeleton.

"It's not that important. All you need to know is that I have come for your head and the lives of your entire Legion!" The Dark Skeleton exclaimed as he swung his sword.

The ghosts turned into a single blade, it collapsed on the academy, and the Gothic Castle was vertically sliced in two. It was a real disaster, and the students and teachers were distraught. Their academy had been an impregnable fortress, but now everything had collapsed as if the apocalypse had begun.

"Bastard! Do you have any idea what you've done?" Claus exclaimed.

"None of this matters. The fate of this academy was sealed from the moment he got here." Skeleton pointed at Blind Sorcerer, "Okay, let's get started."

Whoooooooohs.

A dark stream of energy erupted from the Skeleton. The mark of bloody wings appeared on his armor, and his sword became longer and sharper.

Skeleton turned into a scarlet flash and rushed toward Anna. She blocked the blow as she struck back with her spear.

A few seconds later, the two developed incredible speed. Even Claus could barely see all of their movements, they were like two blurry blobs with sparks flying off to the side and everything around them collapsing.

"Hey, shouldn't you be helping your students?" Blind Sorcerer turned to Claus.

He opened his left eye and appeared before Claus. Blind Sorcerer kicked him off the spire. Claus tried to create a magic circle underneath him, but Blind Sorcerer unleashed several attacks on him. Claus had to defend himself, he fell to the ruins of the academy and was immediately attacked by members of the Bloody Legion.

Anna's main target was Blind Sorcerer, but that didn't mean that the Bloody Legion wouldn't touch anyone else besides him.

The Bloody Legion were notorious criminals. They were a big problem for everyone, both the light side of the world and the dark side. They did not pursue any global goal and were not mercenaries. It was almost impossible to understand their actions.

Bloody Legion did what they wanted, and it did not matter how dangerous or profitable the mission was for them. They were driven only by desire.

Their distinguishing feature was their red armor, as well as their cruelty and bloodthirstiness. The leader of the Bloody Legion was feared by even the strongest men on the continent.
