Nameless King

Step. Step. Step.

A girl with long green hair and pointy ears walked in the dark forest, with a viscous purple liquid that was deadly poison dripping from the trees.

Space trembled, but it didn't bother her as she waited for this moment.

"It has finally begun. Great. Now I can avenge what happened hundreds of years ago..." The girl muttered in a calm voice but in her eyes burned a flame of hatred while a majestic aura emanated from her that even surpassed the level of Demigod.

There were many dangerous creatures in the forest, whose venom would have easily seriously poisoned even an ordinary Dragon, but they all kept their distance from the girl as if knowing that against her they had no chance.

Step. Step. Step.

Slowly the girl emerged from the forest as she looked at the massive structure ahead. It was a huge-sized castle, ancient and impregnable as no living creature dared enter its territory. From the castle emanated an eerie aura that gave the girl goosebumps all over her body as soon as she saw it.

'Damn... This could really intimidate anyone... I've come such a long way and reached the God Rank, but my legs still shake... Shit, it's good that I'm prepared.' The girl muttered inwardly as her ring shone brightly.

A long dark dagger appeared in her hand, with a straight and indescribably sharp blade. From the dagger emanated unusual energy, unlike anything else, the only thing that came to mind from this one was the silhouette of death, inescapable and final.

'I only have one shot, but... this dagger could kill even a Dragon Elder... One hit - one death.' The girl said to herself as she headed for the castle gate.

At this time in the Land of the Gods, portals were gradually opening in the form of paintings, so this was the very moment the girl was waiting to kill her target, once and for all.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The girl put her palm to the lock as her eyes sparkled, then dozens of magical circles appeared behind her, from which massive magical swords flew out. They easily broke through all the barriers on the gate and completely destroyed it, while splinters flew away.

She was an Elf, so her magical power was at a prohibitive point, considering her power level.

In the center of the castle was a massive coffin, black with patterns of flowing blood. It trembled slightly as if preparing to awaken.

'I've tried many times to destroy this coffin, but it's just invulnerable, but now it's time, isn't it?' The girl muttered inwardly as she glanced at the dagger in her hand.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The coffin trembled as a thick dark mist emerged from beneath the lid, the lid lifted slightly and fell to the ground, shaking the whole castle because of its incredible weight. Then, from the coffin, a dark silhouette slowly rose with a calm and indifferent look.

It was a tall man with long white hair that partially covered his broad shoulders. He had pale skin, eyes as red as blood, a pair of sharp fangs, and an icy gaze that seemed capable of frightening anyone. His athletic body was covered by a long, aristocratic black coat with crimson edges.

The man stretched himself after a long nap as the crunch of his bones for a while filled the castle, then he looked at the girl who was standing in the middle of the aisle.

His gaze was as though a sharp blade pierced the girl, examining her as her heart clenched and began to beat faster due to a fit of fear.

"Elf... What are you doing here...? Your blood is disgusting... If you are my gift, the sender made a serious mistake. Come back, an appetizer like you is of no use to me..." The man said in a calm voice as he waved his hand.

'An appetizer...? What the fuck is he talking about...?! The girl inwardly exclaimed as a furious expression appeared on her face. She was in a rage that she wasn't considered a competitor, or even a living being.

Whoooooooosh.

The girl's silhouette blurred as she turned into a green flash, instantly reaching the man. At the same time, two magical circles appeared next to her, from which flew out energy blades that severed the man's arms.

It was so fast that the man didn't even have time to realize what had happened, and no emotion appeared on his face.

"Die! This is revenge for my family!" The girl exclaimed in a thunderous voice as she plunged the dagger into the man's chest.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The energy of death burst from the dagger as the man's blue veins turned dark as if he had been infected with some dangerous virus, completely incurable. Then, blood gushed from the corners of his mouth as well as from his eyes, nose, and ears.

His body was literally falling apart, as his skin, flesh, and blood turned into literally nothing, scattering like dust in the air.

"Maybe your regeneration is incredible, and you can even grow a new head, but you're powerless against death! The girl spoke with a devious smile while her hateful gaze stared directly into the man's eyes before turning the dagger.

Crackle.

The dagger shattered into small pieces as well as the man's body. It completely disappeared from the world as not even a drop of blood or a hair was left. Someone as though just deleted him.

"Agh... Agh... Agh..." The girl breathed heavily while her whole body trembled, "Did I do it...? Did I kill him...? I killed him!"

It was the achievement of a lifetime for her as she had just killed one of the most dangerous creatures in the world.

"Unbelievable... I can't even believe it... It seems impossible..." The girl muttered with a mad look as waves of shivers went through her body.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly space distorted as if some force was literally crushing the fabric of the world. At that time, the girl's eyes opened wide as her heart began to beat faster than ever before.
