Nameless King

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Streams of energy enveloped Wain's body, rushing toward the heavens at great speed. Wain looked as if his power was infinite, even though he was technically on the Absolute Stage.

Virion could easily defeat the Fifth Chronicle monster on the Absolute Stage, and after using the Azure Horn he became strong enough to fight even Demigods, however, none of that mattered since he now had Nameless King before him!

"No, no, no! Nameless King died five hundred years ago! The second ruler of the Arkan World sacrificed himself by blowing up his soul to end it forever!" Virion exclaimed with a startled look as he unconsciously stepped back.

Whoooooooooosh.

Virion gathered energy at the tip of his spear as a massive beam of energy flew out of his blade. It was like a laser with tremendous velocity aiming straight for Wain.

"Not bad, even Demigod would have been injured by this attack, though you are only in the Fourth Chronicle. Well, what a pity you chose me as your opponent." Wain stretched his arm forward. A thin shroud of darkness covered his palm as the laser reached Wain.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The collision of the two types of energy caused shock waves shaking the space as even the dome from the Azure Horn began to be covered in small cracks.

It seemed that the laser could pierce through Wain at any moment, leaving a wide hole in his body, until Wain sighed and the darkness in his palm trembled. At the same moment, the laser disintegrated into tiny particles as the creepy jaws ate it from the inside.

"What...? That's impossible! Your jaws shouldn't be able to hurt this power!" Virion's face went pale as he grew cold as if death itself had already put its scythe to his neck.

Wain's face remained calm as he slowly said, "Don't compare me to who you were fighting a moment ago. You had the power to kill me weakened, but now it's over, your fate isn't the same as mine, you will fall by my sword."

Wain stepped forward and with an ice-cold look swung his sword completely covered in a thick, seemingly endless darkness.

Above the Shining Tree appeared a dark flash that immediately disappeared, then the space was split in two with a thin black streak that appeared after Wain's sweep.

"Goodbye, that was a great fight. If you hadn't been so strong, I wouldn't have had to burn my soul a second time and I might never have awakened." Wain said calmly as the tip of his sword reached the ground.

At the same moment, the shining tree was split in two as well as Virion. He didn't try to escape as fear had completely bound him and he had already realized that this ending was inevitable.

'Fuck... I was so close to my goal, but in the end, I was wrong anyway. Well, at least I tried...' Virion thought before the dark blade cut through his heart.

The Dark Blade kept moving forward even after Virion's death as it reached the dome. Probably no living creature could break this dome from the outside, but it was much easier to do it from the inside.

Crackle. Crackle. Crack.

The dome trembled until it shattered into tiny shards under the pressure of the dark blade. Wain's attack moved on, leaving a deep cut in the ground behind it, which could have completely changed the landscape, so someone had to stop it.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Suddenly there was thunderous laughter shaking the air as Alucard exclaimed with an excited expression, "This is incredible! My instincts told me that something unique was going to happen today, but I had no idea this could be it!"

Whooooooooooooosh.

Alucard's silhouette blurred as he turned into clots of blood heading forward, in a heartbeat he appeared before the dark blade with a mad smile on his face.

"I will be the one to stop the first attack of the Nameless King! It's the best post-awakening gift possible!" Alucard's pupils became vertical as his nails grew much longer, like the claws of a wild beast.

His hands were covered in a thick layer of blood as the dark blade collided with it. Alucard immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as his face contorted in pain, but then a strange grin of pleasure appeared on his face.

"Ahahaha, this is what I needed. I can feel this energy trying to devour me, to destroy me completely, but it looks like Nameless King hasn't fully recovered yet!" Alucard waved his arms, splitting the dark blade into several pieces. Darkness spread around like shards from the black mirror, hovering in the air above Alucard.

Step. Step. Step.

Wain walked to the edge of the shining tree, looked at Alucard, and with a slight smile said, "I knew it would be weak for you, so I made sure it was at least interesting."

'What...?' Alucard gave him a questioning look.

Wain just smirked before snapping his fingers. At the same moment, the shards of darkness turned into a multitude of eerie ghosts with massive jaws. Gradually there were more of them until exactly 99 were created.

"See if you can handle it." Wain raised his hand and swung down as if giving an order.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on (f)ir(e).nᴇt

Whoooooooooooooosh.

All the ghosts rained down on Alucard at once, like a mighty hail of dark arrows. The ghosts tore Alucard's body apart, destroying everything around him and leaving wide craters on the ground.

"ARGH!!!" Alucard's face contorted in horrible pain, it seemed that he would not be able to live to see the end.

When all the ghosts exploded and their energy drained from Alucard's body, only a third of it remained. He looked as if he had encountered a hungry bear, but this was no problem for Alucard as a satisfied smirk appeared on his face.

"Fine, that's different. I haven't felt that in a long time." Alucard muttered as his aura intensified. After a moment, all of his wounds healed and he turned around, walking back up the hill to Gael.

Wain nodded slightly before he looked at the rock on which Sven was standing with a devious smile.
