Nameless King

A huge number of dark streams were heading toward Gladius, completely covering him. Everything was happening very fast as the darkness was like a vortex moving with a tremendous speed.

"Hmm? What is he going to do?" Krakos uttered with a confused look as he tilted his head.

"Hah, isn't it obvious?" Gael grinned, "He's going to finish it in one attack. He had many ways to do it, but in my opinion, he chose the best one. His sword is one of the world's greatest treasures, so with so much energy this sword can cut down even a god."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The space next to Wain trembled as Gladius gradually absorbed all the energy. This darkness did not belong to Wain, but to the Abyss Artist, there was only a fraction of Wain's Beyond in this energy, so Gladius began to take an unusual form.

The sword became much larger because of the dense layer of energy on it. Seven eyes with vertical pupils opened on the blade of the sword as the guard began to resemble the open jaw of some creepy, ancient creature. The most remarkable detail was how many sharp blades on the back of the blade looked like the fins of an enormous shark.

"How do you feel?" Wain asked with an excited smile on his face as he glanced at the sword.

'Great. In fact, I'm not even used to feeling this much power... I mean... while I haven't gotten the last shard yet, so my maximum strength is considerably limited. Gladius said in a worried voice.

'Fine, that's what's needed. Now let's deal with this Wizard. He definitely needs to be deep underground, not here.' Wain spoke as he stepped forward.

At the same time, Wizard was already ready to attack. He pointed his staff at Wain as the azure orb shone brightly. In front of Wizard appeared a massive magical circle that was several times larger than him, then in the magical circle, a five-sided gate opened. From it appeared the head of a massive monster composed entirely of energy.

Whoooooooooooosh.

At Wizard's will, the monster pounced on Wain like an infernal hound. The monster's aura was terrifying as its claws and massive fangs were capable of destroying a massive hill with a simple swing, but Wain didn't back down. There was no emotion on his face at all.

"Hmm... It doesn't look scary at all. At least not for someone with a weapon as powerful as mine." Wain uttered as his silhouette blurred.

He turned into a dark flash and a moment later he was right in front of the beast. Even though the beast was a hunter, Wain's eyes made it wince in fear and freeze in place when Wain swung his sword.

Roooooooooooaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!

The jaw on the sword opened wide as a terrifying roar erupted. At the same moment, the energy beast's body was completely destroyed as a massive trail of dark energy was left in the air.

"Hahaha, that was even better than I imagined. So this is what it means to possess superior power!" Wain exclaimed with an excited expression before attacking the Wizard.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Each swing of Wain's sword shook the space and seriously damaged the shining tree as more and more cracks gradually appeared in the durable stone floor.

"Damn... Looks like he's really starting to enjoy this fight." Gael muttered as his eyes went wide, "It's amazing. I mean, he understands that his life depends on the outcome of the fight, yet he allows himself to be so unconcerned."

"Hah, Gael, can't you understand such obvious things?" Alucard grinned as he glanced at Gael with a smirk on his face, "There's no better feeling than enjoying a deadly fight, especially when you have such power!"

Bam. Bam. Bam.

Wain continued to attack, but he had never been able to hit the Wizard as he constantly dodged. However, Wizard had to expend a lot of energy and use various spells to slow Wain down at least for a few moments.

"Hey! Stop running!" Wain exclaimed with a deadly look, raining his sword on the Wizard.

The Wizard reacted instantly as he created several layers of barrier in front of him. They seemed to be very strong, but Wain's sword easily shattered them like fragile glass.

Crackle.

The Wizard struck the ground with his staff, sending a blast of energy as waves of blue flame tossed Wain aside.

Tap.

He landed deftly on the ground and looked at his sword and muttered, "Well, looks like it's time to finish it, or I'll be the one left without energy."

Wain took a step back, ducked slightly, and pointed the sword at the Wizard as if it were going to pierce him. Wizard understood the situation and prepared the most powerful attack he could as well.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

Seven flaming spheres that formed a star appeared in front of Wizard. The center was empty as Wizard decided to use his staff as a kernel for the last and most powerful spell. Then, the seven lights shone brightly and the azure sphere rapidly began to accumulate energy.

"Oh, that looks dangerous, however, this attack is definitely not strong enough to stop me." Wain uttered in an ice-cold voice, sighed, and stepped forward, turning into a dark ray.

At the same moment, a huge stream of energy erupted from the azure orb and was directed at Wain.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Several cracks appeared in the space as if it could collapse at any moment, as the stream should have completely engulfed Wain, leaving him no chance to survive.

'Now!' Wain's pupils narrowed as he swung his sword.

The seven eyes on the blade trembled as a blade flew out of the sword, taking all the energy of the weapon. The blade sliced the energy stream in two, leaving a trail of dark flame behind it, burning the blue particles.

The Wizard didn't even dodge as he realized he had already lost, so he just stood still until the blade got to him.

Crackle.

The dark blade tore Wizard apart and vanished without a trace. Space gradually returned to normal as well as Gladius. There were only a few runes on his blade now.

Wain looked at Virion and with a calm look said, "Well, what now? Soon only one of us will be left here."ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net
