Nameless King

"Nameless, I know you have an unusual sword that cannot be broken. I hope you will use it during our fight." Reidar said with a serious look as he pointed his katana at Wain.

"Sure. I'm not crazy enough to fight a dangerous swordsman like you with my bare hands, in which case I might actually lose." Wain smirked, showed the back of his palm, and used energy.

The jaw-shaped seal glowed brightly as a thick stream of darkness burst from it. It gradually thickened and turned into a long black sword with several ancient runes on its blade.

By that point, there were only three seconds left before the battle began.

"Ah... This sword looks like a weapon that a simple blacksmith created, but I feel that it is a masterpiece of historical level." Reidar said in a calm voice while looking at Gladius as for a moment a madness smile appeared on his face.

'Wain... Be careful, there's something wrong with this guy.' Gladius uttered in a worried manner.

'What do you mean?' Wain inwardly asked as he raised an eyebrow.

'Fight him full force at once... I mean, you don't have to use all your trump cards, but if you underestimate him, you'll have your head off your shoulders before you know anything. I can hardly understand it, but his power is at the lower end of the Fifth Chronicle.' Gladius spoke in a deadly serious voice.

'Sure. However, I must feel at least a few blows before I use one of the cards, or I will be immediately outnumbered.' Wain muttered to himself as he prepared for battle.

Reidar was on the left side of the lake while Wain was on the right. They stared at each other, trying to notice every detail while their gazes went to each other.

Ding!

The countdown came to an end as each spectator held his breath. They had finally waited for the battle they had waited so long for to begin.

At the same time, Reidar stepped forward and electric shocks coursed through his body. Then he turned into a purple flash as there was a clap of thunder that was so loud it deafened the spectators in the front stands for a moment.

Whoooooosh.

In an instant Reidar swept across the whole lake as he appeared before Wain, leaving behind a deep trail of sparks that split the lake in two with powerful waves.

Reidar's cold eyes looked like harbingers of death while his katana raced with tremendous speed straight into Wain's neck, on the shortest possible trajectory.

A shudder went through Wain's body as his pupils narrowed, and he held the sword out to the ground.

Tremble.

The katana struck the sword and there was a powerful shockwave with the impact that threw Wain dozens of meters back. The force of the attack reverberated throughout his body as though from a shotgun blast.

"You were able to block my attack at full speed? Great, now I'm sure I can hold my own against you." Reidar uttered in a calm voice before swinging his katana up and down.

His attack could not reach Wain because he was too far away, but this simple sweep caused several lightning spheres in the sky that dropped a series of massive purple lightning bolts on the ground that as though chased Wain who had not yet managed to stop.

"Shit!" Wain exclaimed as he quickly directed a large amount of energy toward Gladius.

A dense streak appeared on the edge of the sword as Wain collapsed the sword. A massive energy blade flew out of the sword and collided with a series of lightning bolts.

Booooom!

Darkness mixed with the energy of lightning caused a massive explosion. Energetic particles filled everything around them as powerful wind currents shattered the unstable ruins.

"Damn, it hasn't been more than ten seconds since the countdown ended, but we've already managed to bring destruction here." Wain said with an excited look as he swung his sword horizontally.

A sharp sword sliced through the cloud of dust and energy as the wind blew it apart, revealing Wain.

"Well, I'm not one to wait too long. If I can attack, I'll do it... though I wouldn't expect you to get even a scratch in two of my attacks, that's troubling." Reidar uttered with a thoughtful look as he tilted his head while touching his chin.

'Huh, he says one thing, but he's obviously thinking something else entirely. His attacks could kill almost anyone, but he treats it as a simple attempt to hurt me somehow...' Wain muttered inwardly.

How strong he was understood not only by Wain but also by the spectators, who had only needed two attacks to open their eyes wide.

"Reidar is unbelievable... I thought I was very good at swordsmanship, but I could hardly see anything, isn't that crazy?" The man with the massive sword behind his back muttered with a dazed expression.

"Well, Nameless was able to block these attacks, moreover, he appeared completely unharmed, so now it should be his turn, right?" His mate uttered in a curious manner.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Suddenly there was a loud crackling sound as dark electrical discharges appeared in Wain's left hand, and more and more in time.

"Reidar, maybe lightning isn't my specialty, unlike you, but try to handle it!" Wain exclaimed in an arrogant way before using one of his two skills.

He clenched his hand into a fist as the sparks turned into a massive ray that rushed upward. Then, dozens of thunderclouds appeared in the sky, and the sound of lightning rang out among them.

Reidar with a calm look looked at the scope of the coming attack, realized that he would not be able to escape it, and grabbed his katana with both hands.

"Go for it. Do it." Reidar whispered in a creepy voice as unseen sparks appeared in his eyes.

The clouds thickened over Reidar as many black lightning bolts gathered above him that seemed intent on destroying everything beneath them.
