Nameless King

Tap.

Wain lost consciousness for a second as he leaned his hand on the ground to keep from falling.

'Damn... I'm really at my limit already. I need to deal with this as quickly as possible... otherwise, it'll be frustration again...' Wain muttered inwardly, clenched his teeth, and stood up.

His gaze was blurry, and he was seconds away from complete exhaustion, but he was in a much better situation than Prima.

"Fuck! Die already!" Prima exclaimed as she tried to tear apart the second piranha that was devouring it alive.

Prima had already destroyed the first piranha and was almost done with the second, but it looked as though a bear had chewed on it.

Crackle.

The lightning claws slammed into the piranha with a powerful electrical blast that tore the unusual creature apart.

"Phew... Finally..." Prima breathed a sigh of relief, but a clot of blood immediately burst from her mouth as she fell to the ground without strength.

"Huh, you're finished." Wain smirked before swinging his arm.

He no longer had the strength to create piranhas, so he launched several jaws at Prima. They began to devour her body while tearing her armor apart.

"Hehehe, good... A little more and victory will be..." Wain muttered and passed out.

Prima tried to do something, but she had one last resort. She pressed a button on the armor, and it was destroyed with a powerful burst of energy. The lightning bolts wiped out the jaws, but Prima didn't see it anymore as she fainted.

Then, there was silence in Granite Caverns for the first time in a long time. Everyone was shocked by this ending, even the monsters that were hiding behind the granite rocks in fear.

"Well... Who won in the end...?" The spectator muttered with a confused look as he stared at Vincenz.

"I have to say that I've seen many times when two fighters have fallen without strength during a fight, but... I didn't expect it to happen now." Vincenz muttered, shook his head, and looked up at the lights above, "In a situation like this, it's up to the Colosseum, we'll all see the result soon enough."

The two flaming names hesitated until one of them turned red.

"Yes!" Dozens of spectators simultaneously exclaimed with happy looks.

"Damn... He did it..." Skyla muttered while in disbelief.

"Yeah... That's something unreal." Fosko nodded.

Prima's name glowed red while a golden crown appeared above Wain's name, showing who was the loser and the winner.

"Great! Nameless, even though you can't hear me, I congratulate you again on your magnificent victory! Now, let's see how much the Colosseum appreciates the efforts of our fighters!" Vincenz exclaimed with a big smile on his face.

Prima's Rating was the first to change, instead of 155th place, she got 190th.

"Damn... She lost to someone whose Rating is much lower than her own, but she only dropped a few positions... The World of Darkness rated her skills very high." Someone uttered while looking at Prima.

"Yeah... but we all realize that nobody cares about Prima's Rating. What matters most is what Nameless gets!" His buddy exclaimed, and at that moment, the number changed.

Wain's Rating used to be 277, but now it has become a representative 97.

"Is it real...?" Skyla muttered with a dazed look.

"Sure, haven't you seen what he can do? This guy is definitely going to be in the Top 10 soon, then the real fight will begin." Fosko smirked as he sat down on the edge of the cave.

"Guess I should thank fate that Prima interrupted the Nameless and Lin fight... Otherwise, something horrible could have happened..." Kane muttered as he clutched Lin tighter to him as though he wanted to protect her.

"Great! Like any other fight where Nameless was involved, this one was unforgettable! But, everything has an end, so I must say goodbye to you." Vincenz uttered as he snapped his fingers.

Green portals appeared behind the audience while the barrier gradually collapsed.

"You only have one minute to get out of here, or you will stay here!" Vincenz said, waved his hand, and disappeared.

The audience took one last look at Wain and left Granite Caverns.

Even though Wain didn't want it at all, his popularity increased tenfold that day, it was an unprecedented occasion, so it attracted a lot of attention.

...

"Did you see that...?" The man muttered as he stared at the crystal ball.

"Yeah... That power, that energy... The elders warned that one day it might happen." The woman spoke while twiddling her thumbs in a nervous manner.

They were in a stone room with many different magical artifacts. These two were the only ones that watched Wain's fight from outside the arena because of the star tattoos on their chests, they were better off not showing up in World of Destiny, at least for now.

"What shall we do?" The man asked as a powerful stream of aura erupted from him, "Shall we tell the Elders about this?"

"I'm not sure about that..." The woman shook her head, "I mean, we just decided to follow the suspicious newcomer to the Colosseum, we're just lucky Nameless has so many secrets."

"You think we need to see for ourselves first? That Nameless is HIS heir?" The man uttered with a deadly serious look.

"Of course. We can't afford to make a mistake, then we'll either kill him ourselves or one of the Elders will. Either way, we'll be well rewarded, maybe we'll even finally make it to the next rank." The woman said with a devious smile on her face.

"Damn... It's pretty ironic that he took that nickname, isn't it?" The man grinned.

"Maybe." The woman nodded.

"All right, let's do it. We need to move up in rank, hopefully I'll be as strong as him someday..." The man muttered as his gaze filled with respect.

"Still dreaming of reaching his level? Don't get me wrong, I respect you and believe in you, but becoming as strong as Sven Hellem... That sounds harder than killing the Vampire Progenitor. Don't forget, he's a Legend, a Living Legend." The woman uttered in both a frightened and awe voice.
