Nameless King

\'What is this...? I\'ve never seen such a weapon before.\' Wain muttered inwardly while staring intently at Virion\'s sword.

Within a few rounds of their battle, Wain had already fully realized that Virion had carefully prepared for their fight. It made sense since Wain had long been his target, so every action Virion took carried real danger.

\'Last time he used fire runes, they gave me a lot of trouble, but in fact, they were just very hot stones, but this... this is a real weapon.\' Wain said to himself as he prepared for battle.

Virion stepped forward and raised his hand as if he was about to swing his sword, even though they were very far apart.

\'Hm? What\'s he up to?\' Wain raised an eyebrow while in confusion.

\'Whooooooooosh.

Virion lowered his sword as suddenly it began to split into several pieces, lengthening considerably and acquiring the trajectory of a whip.

Wain\'s pupils narrowed as he finally realized what Virion was up to and it startled him. He quickly raised the cane above him, and in that instant, the last part of the sword, the sharpest and fastest, came crashing down on him.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The stone floor beneath Wain cracked as the incredible force of the impact caused his feet to sink an inch into the ground, then the sword returned to its owner.

"Damn... Is your reaction really impressive, or did you figure it out before I attacked?" Virion uttered in a calm voice with an ice-cold look.

Wain said nothing, he just jerked back as his gaze went to Virion\'s sword.

\'I was at maximum range, so I took the most damage from the last link. This sword works like a whip, the tip is the strongest and fastest, but up close it is much weaker, also its length has a limit.\' Wain inwardly muttered being as focused as possible.

\'Are you silent? Well, I\'ll make you talk!" Virion exclaimed before swinging his sword once more.

The sword split again as it whipped at Wain like a whip, but he took a step back at the last moment and the tip of the sword collapsed right in front of him, hitting the ground.

\'Nice... Though it moves damn fast, I was able to calculate the distance correctly. Now I need to wait for the right moment.\' Wain inwardly muttered as suddenly the point of the sword trembled.

They fought on top of the shining tree and despite all their powerful attacks, the top floor was still generally intact and only slightly damaged. It was because of the sturdy materials and the natural energy of the tree, so Wain quickly realized what had just happened.

\'It\'s stuck!\' Wain inwardly exclaimed, then his pupils narrowed and his gaze became deathly icy.

He attacked as quickly as possible, collapsing his cane on the gape before the last link to destroy Virion\'s weapon in a simple motion.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

From Wain\'s powerful hit, the sword shuddered, sinking deeper into the ground as several cracks appeared in the shaft.

\'Damn... It\'s damn hard. It\'s definitely a Legendary Weapon, okay, I just need to hit it a few more times.\' Wain wondered as he suddenly realized that Virion had been inactive all this time and a shiver ran down his body.

Wain glanced at Virion and saw a devious smirk on his face as Virion\'s arm got a few electric shocks.

Whoooooooooosh.

A moment later a mighty white lightning bolt went across the sword and reached the tip, unleashing its full power on Wain. It all happened so fast that Wain didn\'t even have time to unclench his hand, so the lightning went through his body bringing him terrible pain.

"ARGHHHHHH!!!" Wain cried out in agony while his whole body trembled and streams of blood poured from his eyes.

Gradually the discharge lost its force as hell for Wain finally ended and the sword easily climbed out of the floor and returned to Virion. Wain needed a few seconds to recover, but Virion wasn\'t going to just stand there and wait, so he lunged forward as he turned into a white flash.

Virion with a vicious look swung his sword. This time the sword did not split, but it was affected by the force of his gravity, speeding it up considerably so that Wain had no chance to react.

\'Wain!\' Gladius and the Black Sun Aristocrat simultaneously exclaimed in a worried way and the seal on Wain\'s arm glowed brightly as Gladius was about to help him.

Crackle.

But, it was too late as the sword plunged into Wain\'s flesh slashing it and leaving a wide, deep cut on his chest from which blood immediately gushed. The scarlet drops splashed onto Virion\'s face, making his mad smile even more frightening as he was ecstatic that he was finally able to wound Wain.

"Hahaha, how about that?! Did you really think my sword would get stuck on the stone floor?! I tricked you, and you fell into my trap, again!" Virion exclaimed with an excited expression before stepping forward.

His words entered Wain\'s head, rushing through like thunderclaps, shaking his consciousness.

Whooooooosh.

Virion paused for a moment as his left leg was covered in a dense layer of white flame. Then, he made a full turn and with all the power of his momentum plunged his foot into Wain\'s stomach, causing a fiery explosion.

"AGH!" Wain threw up a mouthful of blood as the shockwave went through his body, throwing him to the other side of the arena.

All in a matter of seconds Virion made several powerful attacks, all because of Wain\'s one mistake that initially seemed to be his chance to win.

His body and mind were shaken as Virion completely outplayed him, but despite this and all the pain, he did not unclench his fist, holding the cane tightly.

Bam.

Wain hit the wall with his back and fell to the ground with a rumble while blood from his wound slowly coated the ground beneath him.
