Nameless King

"Agh!" Wain vomited a mouthful of blood as the massive stones fell on him.

Amelia stared at Wain with a calm look, touched her bloodied lips, and stretched her arms forward. The star tattoo on her chest trembled as a powerful stream of energy burst out of Amelia that raised her scarlet hair.

In an instant, massive clouds appeared in the sky, slowly swirling right over where Wain was. In the center of the clouds, a torrent of wind formed that gradually accelerated and increased in size, turning into a most powerful tornado.

"What incredible power... but... why did it have to be Dan...? Hell, if I had done more tasks, the elders would have let me eat someone, then I would have reached rank three, and none of this would have happened..." Amelia muttered while filling the whirlwind with energy.

Due to the force of the whirlwind, hundreds of trees were pulled up by the roots and broken as hundreds of boulders were turned into thousands of fragments. Earth, sand, ash, all of it was thrown far beyond the battlefield, completely clearing it.

"Wain Norheim, though you kill my friend... I will take your life! I'll do it to every human that I can get my hands on!" Amelia exclaimed in a thunderous voice as she unleashed a whirlwind on Wain.

Crackle.

A dark blade flew out from under the rocks, leaving a massive cut on the mountain. At the same time, a gray mantle appeared on Wain with a tight bandage over its eyes.

Wain spread his arms as a massive magical circle with hundreds of ancient runes appeared before him.

"Argh!!!" Wain cried out as a wide spatial gape opened in the air.

The whirlwind hit it as the wind began to fade, but an incredible strain was placed on Wain as he transported such a powerful attack elsewhere.

A clot of blood erupted from his mouth, and crimson lines flowed from his ears and eyes, more and more with each passing second.

"What...? Is that spatial magic? How the hell many different powers does he have?!" Amelia exclaimed while in disbelief.

Whooooooooosh.

The last stream of wind disappeared as Wain canceled the action of the form and fell to the ground.

"Fuck! What the hell was that?! I almost died now!" Wain exclaimed with a pained look as he pounded his fist on the ground.

'Wain, if you have any potions, then drink them now! That girl's a Third Rank Arkan now, I'm afraid you'll have to use everything you've got if you want to survive, though I'd advise you to run. That's an opponent you can't handle yet.' Gladius uttered in a serious voice as he turned into a seal.

"What? What the hell are you talking about? Run? I? Who do you think you're talking to?!" Wain exclaimed as his voice shook the air, "I don't care what I have to do, but that bitch ain't getting out of here alive!"

Wain's ring shone brightly as all the potions he had appeared in his hands, and he began to drink them one by one.

Normally no one would drink several potions of a similar type at a time, as it would seriously burden the body and could lead to serious consequences, but at the time, Wain didn't think about such things.

"If I backed out now, I could never forgive myself. It will be a stigma from which it will be impossible to get rid." Wain said in a confident manner as he tossed the empty flasks aside.

'Yeah... I know what you mean.' The Knight of the Bloody Rose uttered in a quiet voice.

"Do you have something to offer?" Wain asked as he looked at Amelia, that ran in his direction, "If so, do it as quickly as possible."

'Well, you have two choices, either you use your Beyond, or you trust me. If you do it right, we can kill her in one single attack. It's all or nothing.' The Knight of the Bloody Rose said as scarlet energy emanated from his sword.

Wain had no more than half a minute to make a decision, but he did it in just one moment.

"Sure. Let's do it." Wain said before activating the fifth form, the last one whose weapons he had yet to see.

'Good choice.' The Knight of the Bloody Rose grinned with a slight nod.

At the same time, Wain's hair turned crimson as he gained two massive wings of hundreds of rose petals.

Whoooooosh.

Wain flapped his wings as he soared high above the ground while the powerful stream of wind that was Amelia headed toward him with tremendous power.

"Hmm? Where's the sword?" Wain muttered with confused looks while looking at his hands.

'You won't need it.' The Knight of the Bloody Rose smiled, "Remember, you only get one chance. You miss - you die, you don't pierce her heart - you die, you hit her only slightly - you die.'

'I see.' Wain muttered inwardly with a deadly serious look.

Everyone knew who the knights were, as well as their main weapon, the long, sharp sword with which they struck their enemies. However, was that the only weapon?

In Wain's hands appeared a long thorn shaped like a spear that as though it had been torn from a giant rose the size of a mountain.

[The Last Thorn (Unique)

It was one of the hundreds of thorns of a giant rose. This plant had one goal, to bloom with such power to be noticed by the whole world, then to disappear.

Sometimes all it takes is one movement to make the whole world stop].

Whooooosh.

Amelia was already very close and was about to attack as her arms were covered with streams of brutal wind.

'Do it! Now!" the Knight of the Bloody Rose exclaimed.

Wain's pupils narrowed as he brought his arm back up to attack, then his wings moved, and Wain turned into a red flash.

He reached Amelia with an incredible speed that could probably surpass that of the Light Racer. She instantly reacted and stretched her arm forward to stop him.

Crackle.

The thorn literally went through her arm, completely destroying it with flesh, blood, and bone.

"Die!!!" Wain exclaimed with a furious look as his eyes filled with blood.

The thorn advanced further as Wain pierced Amelia's heart, leaving a wide, through a hole in her chest.
