Nameless King

"Stop them! Don't let them get near the Crystal!" One of the commanders exclaimed.

Dozens of fighters marched to defend the Crystal, it was their greatest treasure, so many were willing to give their lives for it.

Crackle.

"Not so fast." A commanding voice rang out with a crackle of lightning.

Nina appeared between Skyla and her enemies while her hands sparkled with blue lightning.

"If you want to stop our leader, you'll have to deal with us first. Who will be the first to risk a fight with me?" Nina uttered with a serious look as she prepared for battle.

'Well, well, she's certainly changed. It looks like light really isn't the only way for Angels, but she still needs to grow up to Markaz. Her darkness is just beginning to awaken.' Wain thought with a slight smile on her face.

Among the blue sparks of lightning, there were the occasional almost imperceptible dark ones, they were insignificant and seemed to disappear soon, but Wain knew that a drop of darkness was enough to eventually consume everything.

"Somebody deal with that girl!" Someone yelled before a fireball flew at Nina.

"Idiots." Nina muttered as she turned into a blue flash.

She walked through the ranks of enemies, and her hands slammed into the chests of two people as they came out the other side, along with the hearts that were still beating.

"Good. Nina will definitely be able to hold them off for a while, let's go we need to act as fast as we can." Skyla uttered and headed for the barrier.

Wain, Fosko, and Teresa nodded.

Several people stood at the barrier, but just Skyla's fierce stare was enough to make them flinch in fear and run away.

"Hey, did you have to scare them? I would have gladly dealt with them." Fosko muttered as he sighed with annoyance.

"Shut up. You have a job to do. You two must protect Nameless and me while we destroy the barrier." Skyla said as she looked at Teresa.

"Protect? From whom?" Teresa asked while in confusion.

"From them." Fosko looked up.

Whoooooosh.

Two white flashes rushed toward them that shone brightly like stars. Wain, Fosko, Skyla, and Teresa jumped aside as the flashes landed in front of the barrier.

"Who are they?" Teresa frowned.

"My and Fosko's main rivals." Skyla spoke with a serious look, "They are Twilight Embers Heads and some of the strongest fighters in the eastern area of Dermin."

On the left was a tall man with white hair, amber eyes, and ashy skin as the flames that burned brightly on his arms. On the right was a girl with a calm look, long hair, and particles of ash floating around her sword at her belt.

'Ashens... I haven't seen them in a long time. This girl doesn't seem to use flames, she could be dangerous.' Wain thought while remembering Forgotten's incredible skills.

"Lin and Kane, the siblings that lead Twilight Embers." Fosko said as the smile disappeared from his face for the first time in a long time.

A man stepped forward, stared at Skyla, and said, "So you decided to do it after all."

"Yes. This time it will be decided. There can't be two leaders in one territory! Someone alone must rule the eastern district, and it will be us!" Skyla exclaimed as her fists lit up in red flames.

"Brother... Along with them is this traitor..." Lin muttered as she pointed at Teresa.

"I see. I knew she couldn't be trusted. Anyway, it's even good that she's here, we'll solve a few problems at once, but before that..." Kane said as he stared at Wain, "Nameless, I suggest you change sides. I'm sure I can offer you more than these two cats."

"What?!" Skyla and Teresa exclaimed with dazed looks as Fosko just grinned.

"I doubt it. Your main treasure is behind you, so you have nothing that could interest me. Moreover, there is no way I can fight against her." Wain pointed at Teresa, "So, enough of these pathetic attempts. Let's get down to business already."

"Brother, I want to fight Nameless..." Lin whispered with a calm look.

"Huh, you think you can handle him?" Kane grinned as he prepared for battle.

"Yeah." Lin nodded.

"Good, then I'll take on the others." Kane uttered before tearing into Skyla.

Kane turned into a flash of flame that rushed toward Skyla at breakneck speed. The white flame was so hot that it literally made the stone boil.

Crackling.

In front of Kane appeared Fosko, that stopped him with a grip on his wrists.

"Hey, do you really think you're going to fight Skyla? I'm enough for you, isn't it?" Fosko smirked as he bared his sharp fangs.

"Bastard..." Kane frowned.

Lin didn't stand, she stepped forward gracefully and instantly as though a ghost was in front of Wain. Her gaze was calm, but her aura evoked only one feeling - impending death.

Lin drew her sword from its sheath, sighed, and swung it from top to bottom. The blade went directly to Wain's shoulder while ash particles flew away.

Crackle.

Suddenly Teresa appeared in front of Wain as she blocked the attack with the rapier.

"Get away. You're in my way." Lin said in an indifferent voice before swinging her sword.

Her attack was incredibly fast, so Teresa barely had time to get her rapier in front of her. Lin's swing created a wave of ash that left a massive cut on Teresa's chest as the impact tossed her aside.

"Bitch! I'll cut you into pieces!" Teresa shouted with a furious look as her energy increased. She was about to activate her Beyond.

"Shut up. You're nothing more than an addition to Nameless. You're under him, not beside him." Lin muttered, and her hand turned into a blur.

She swung her sword several times, then a multitude of cuts appeared on Teresa's body that exploded with a flood of blood. Teresa tried to stay on her feet, but a few seconds later, she passed out.

"Okay, that's enough. Nameless, nothing will stop us from fighting you now." Lin pointed her sword at Wain.
