Nameless King

Virion had already used two runes from his Beyond, as well as two unusual weapons, but Wain was sure that his opponent had many more unusual things in his arsenal.

Whooooooooosh.

Virion swung his arm as three fiery circles cut through the ceiling and struck Wain again. He jumped aside, ducking at the last moment.

'Damn... I thought I could get him at least once, but it seems too easy for him. At this rate he can dodge almost indefinitely...' Virion internally muttered before snapping his fingers, 'Well, in that case, it's time to move on to more serious measures.'

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The flaming Circles stopped suddenly as they hovered in midair. Then, for the first time in a long time, they split up and attacked Wain from three sides.

Wain's pupils dilated as he took a step back with a swing of his spear. At the tip of the spear appeared a bloody orb that exploded, causing a bloody wave. It threw one of the circles aside as the other two came close to Wain.

Step.

He ducked, practically touching the ground with his back as the circles whizzed right over him. Virion willed the Circles to follow him, slowly circling over his head like three halos.

Wain regained his balance as his gaze drifted to the few scarlet hairs on the ground, slightly burned by the flames.

'Fuck... He was trying to trick me again. I was sure he didn't have enough power to control them one by one, but I was wrong... If I hadn't been so fast, it might have been my head on the ground instead of the hair...' Wain muttered internally with a frowned look as his aura intensified.

'Hey, if I make that move, can I destroy those circles?' Wain asked in an ice-cold voice while staring intently at Virion.

'Hmm... I'm not sure about all three, but you can definitely break one or two, however, then you'll lose my spear too. I can only make a new one in a few days, so... I won't be able to help you in this fight anymore.' The Knight of the Bloody Rose uttered with a complicated expression.

Usually, the Forms always had a solution to any problem, even if it was a deadly fight, but now they weren't sure if their skills would work.

'Well... This guy actually did some serious work. Getting such rare artifacts is already an accomplishment, but he prepared it all specifically for this fight.' The Abyss Artist muttered in a thoughtful manner, 'Wain, use all our powers before you activate Beyond, but, don't use my power until then as it will be most effective.'

Wain nodded slightly, taking a step back as his eyes grew cold as ice. His aura intensified as his wings trembled.

'Well, since you're using all my power for one attack, let's do it as hard as we can.' Knight of the Bloody Rose muttered while Wain's wings split into hundreds of petals.

The petals headed toward the spear in two streams, infusing it with powerful energy. This was a skill Knight of the Bloody Rose didn't want to use because it led to self-destruction.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Cracks appeared on the spear from which crimson light erupted. Gradually, the cracks became bigger as the power of the spear rapidly increased, but it also meant that Wain was running out of time.

'Looks like he finally decided to get rid of that spear... that's good... but from the looks of it, this attack will be much more powerful than the previous one.' Virion muttered inwardly as a shiver ran through his body. He could barely withstand the attack from the spear as he had to cauterize his own chest to stop the bleeding, but all that was nothing compared to the spear's ability to pierce his heart.

Whoooooooosh.

Virion swung his hand as the shards of his sword stuck in the wall trembled.

'What the hell...? Can he control them? Didn't I completely destroy his sword?' Wain inwardly muttered while in disbelief.

The sword splinters no longer had the strength that they used to have and there was no way Virion could recover the sword during the fight, so he decided to use it in the best possible way. A multitude of shards surrounded by white sparks of lightning headed toward him and formed a dense shield. It seemed unstable as there were gaps between the shards, but the lightning bolts held them firmly together.

Behind the shield of sword shards, Virion placed three flaming circles. They stood in the shape of a triangle, touching each other's faces.

'I wanted to use the sword shards as a secret weapon to seriously wound him, but it seems I have no other choice...' Virion muttered inwardly as he took a step back.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

A torrent of energy burst out of him as a dense wall of flame emerged from the ground in front of him that seemed capable of stopping even a falling meteor.

"Bastard... He realized what was about to happen and created a three-stage defense... Would I be able to break through that many layers?" Wain muttered with a frowned look as the spear trembled harder.

'Don't worry. Just trust in yourself, you can definitely get to him I guarantee it.' The Knight of the Bloody Rose uttered in a confident manner.

Wain nodded slightly, took a step forward, and his eyes grew deeper. Dense streams of darkness burst from his body with scarlet as the space around him trembled.

"Forward! Attack! What are you waiting for!" Virion exclaimed in a thunderous voice as it shook the entire upper floor.

"Sure... I'm on my way..." Wain whispered with a deadly gaze as he took a step forward.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Wain's silhouette blurred as he for an instant, several times overcame the speed of sound, causing a powerful shockwave that like an explosion destroyed the wall behind him.

A moment later he reached the shield of sword debris as the spear with indescribable power was ready to shatter it.

In a strange way, but to Wain it all seemed very slow, so he was able to pick the right place to attack, where the three-layer defense was weakest.

'This time I will definitely pierce you...'
