Nameless King

When Virion used the Azure Horn, it became very quiet as only the bursts of plasma on the blade of his spear and a few gusts of wind crashing against the dome could be heard.

Everyone realized that no matter how strong they were now, they were just spectators.

'Well, well... Wain, will this really be your last day?' Sven inwardly muttered with a complicated look as he crossed his arms, 'This guy used Azure Horn... Damn, I can't even imagine what would have to happen for you to survive, let alone win.'

Absolutely everyone had similar thoughts. Only a few people knew how powerful Azure Horn actually was, but everyone else understood that Wain was now in a terrible situation. Not only did Virion become much stronger, he also healed all his wounds when he blew the horn and his energy seemed to be endless.

"You seem scared, but you're not going to back down. That's good, I wouldn't want my victory to be so boring, this fight should be serious until the very end!" Virion exclaimed as a blue flame lit up in his left hand, "Well, let's see what you can do!"

Whooooooooooooosh.

Virion waved his hand as several blue flashes appeared in the air. They quickly grew much larger until they exploded, unleashing a multitude of projectiles that came crashing down on Wain, like missiles.

They were very fast, so Wain barely had time to react and jump aside. He knew that it was impossible to win by constantly dodging, but now he simply had no other choice as he couldn't risk trying to block the attacks.

'Shit, they're fast, but they look only slightly more powerful than what I can create with Blind Sorcerer's power, however, my instincts just scream that these projectiles are much more dangerous.' Wain thought, landing as his feet touched the ground.

The projectiles should have collided with the stone floor and exploded, but instead, they suddenly swerved, rushing toward Wain again.

'So they're homing in, right? Well, in that case, I have no choice but to destroy them.' Wain inwardly muttered before stepping forward and swinging his sword, 'Thanks to Abyss Artist's plan, I still have plenty of energy left, so I definitely won't have a problem with that.'

At the same moment, a wave of dark energy emerged from the sword, with jaws floating among it. The energy quickly collided with the magical projectiles and absorbed them with ease.

'Hmm? Is that it? I was able to dispel this attack so easily?' Wain's eyes went wide as he couldn't believe it.

The wave of darkness was at the peak of its power, so it should have gradually dissipated, however, suddenly it began to increase in size as if something was growing inside.

"What the hell...?" Wain took a few steps back, holding his sword in front of him to protect himself from the occasional attack.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The wave of darkness shuddered as a huge amount of energy erupted outward in streams of blue flame. The jaws shattered the structures of the projectiles, but they could not absorb the energy Virion used, so it triggered an explosion.

Wain immediately created a protective barrier of darkness in front of him while Virion just swung his arm as the wave of fire approached him. The blue flames headed toward his finger as if that was where the center of the vortex was, quickly disappearing into it.

'Fuck! Why are those flames so strong?! Wain exclaimed with an angry look as blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. The barrier was able to protect him from the fire, but it took him too much energy to do so as the huge heat was able to hurt him.

"Hahaha, was this weak attack really able to wound you?" Virion grinned and snapped his fingers as if he had been waiting for this moment for a very long time.

A multitude of azure seals appeared on the ground from which many stars flew out. They slowly rose upwards until they began to rotate, gradually speeding up. Each star emitted a small amount of mist, so from the outside, it looked like some incredible cosmic phenomenon that could be seen once in a thousand years.

'What the hell is it...?' Wain wondered with a frightened look as a shiver ran through his body. Unlike the others, he was in no position at all to enjoy the beautiful sight that could actually kill him.

"I hope you can absorb it!" Virion exclaimed, waving his hand. Then, each star glowed brightly and became as fast as light.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

A multitude of stars turned into deadly strands that simultaneously descended upon Wain. They were thin, they didn't seem to be able to hurt even a mere human, but Wain felt that their power was enough to cut the Fifth Chronicle monster apart, so he was as serious as possible.

'Shit, I need to come up with some kind of plan right away or I'll get too many wounds from a few of these attacks.' Wain wondered as he stepped forward with an ice-cold look.

With sweeps of his sword, Wain unleashed a powerful wave of energy, instantly destroying many glowing threads. At the same time, the eye on his crown opened wide and several phantom piranhas appeared next to Wain.

The threads damaged the piranhas, but they managed to destroy several dozen threads before disappearing, greatly helping Wain deal with this serious attack.

Wain swung his sword quickly trying to cut each thread since even a single thread could do him serious damage, he just couldn't get hurt so early.

'Fuck! I have to move faster or I won't be able to get rid of them!' Wain clenched his teeth hard as his eyes filled with blood. He began to attack even faster while parts of the threads fell down, surrounding him like blue snowflakes.

After a while, Wain was able to destroy all the threads as he stared at Virion while breathing heavily. However, Virion was not surprised as a sly smirk was on his face.

Click.

Virion snapped his fingers and the larger portions of the threads connected into two long ones that pierced Wain's left shoulder with lightning speed.
