Nameless King

When Wain was halfway to the firebud, he was attacked by several warriors in this arena. One was a girl Elf, with long blond hair, blue eyes, and a wooden bow and quiver of arrows behind him.

The second was an Axalt man in a wide red robe and short black hair. A sign in the shape of a moon was on his chest, which spoke of his calm temperament and restrained nature.

"Huh, two on one?" Wain smirked.

"No, that's out of the question. Woman, don't get into a man's fight. You can watch if you want, but no more than that." Axalt said calmly.

"What? How dare you say that? Don't Axalts have equality between the two sexes?" The girl was outraged by such an attitude.

"That does not apply to the Elves. Our women are actually strong, and many of them are fine warriors for whom I have respect, but I cannot allow you to spoil this battle with your interference."

"Hey, are you here to negotiate or to fight? Let's have a fight all against all, isn't that the best option?" Wain suggested.

This situation seemed amusing to him. The two warriors were arguing over who would fight him, as if he were a welcome guest.

"Are you suggesting a massacre? There is no aesthetics or beauty in that. Moreover, she has a bow, and the fighting will be mixed, not close quarters. It would be the greatest disappointment." Axalt seriously said.

Most Axalts, take your battles very seriously. Because of the nature of their bodies, they spent a very long time absorbing energy. It was effective but slow.

When they reached a certain point and stopped absorbing energy, they spent all their free time training or fighting. Axalts liked to study and practice martial arts and then fight, testing their skills in practice.

"Two out of three for mass combat, so it's settled." The girl said seriously and pulled an arrow from her quiver. She drew the bowstring sharply on her bow and shot at Axalt.

He didn't dodge and, at the last moment, grabbed the arrow with his hand and broke it in two.

"Okay, have it your way. I can't help but respond to such a defiant and ill-mannered challenge to fight." Axalt said coldly, and the ring on his finger shone brightly.

A long sword with a curved blade appeared in his hand.

'Hmm, he has a ring similar to mine and the one Sven had. It looks like Second Chronicle creatures can afford such items.' Wain thought and summoned the Nameless Monarch's Sword.

Three spheres appeared on the sword, and it was ready for battle.

For a while, they stood still and assessed each other. The girl was at a disadvantage as she specialized in ranged combat. Normally this would have been an advantage for her, but not now.

When an archer and a swordsman fought, in most cases, the archer would have a better chance of winning if he could get into position in time. The swordsman had to run up to the archer to attack, while the archer could attack from any position.

However, the situation changed as the archer could not shoot as fast as the swordsman swung his sword.

Therefore, the girl immediately jumped aside and used one of her skills. Her quiver and bow glowed brightly with blue light, and a seal appeared on her forehead.

She knew that she could not withstand two swordsmen at once. If Wain and Axalt decided to attack her, it would be an instant defeat.

"The first one attacked and immediately ran away? That seems too cowardly." Wain mouthed, and bone wings erupted from his back.

After the evolution, it was no longer a Legendary Rating skill, it was now an Ascendant Rating skill, but the power of that skill remained the same and still terrified others.

Wain was used to enduring the pain of having bone wings tear into his flesh and connect with his nervous system.

Whooooooosh.

The wings swayed, and Wain turned into a dark flash. He decided to attack the Elfess, considering her a weak link. If Axalt was strong, he wouldn't want their fight interfered with an archer firing from afar.

Wain made the first move, and Axalt followed. He thought about letting Wain deal with the girl, but that would be a mean and dishonest thing to do.

The three of them had agreed to fight against each other, and Axalt wasn't about to back down on his word.

The girl was wary, she thought the worst-case scenario had happened, and her opponents had decided to team up.

She panicked and quickly attacked, firing several homing arrows. Wain easily dodged it, and Axalt chopped the arrows in two.

"Axalt, you were a supporter of a fair fight! So why did you team up with him then?"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? You're not my target now. I'm just running after Mr. Unknown." Axalt calmly said, and his feet went up in flames. He turned into a fiery flash and appeared in front of Wain.

Axalt's sword lit up in bright red flames, and he swung it around him, creating a fiery vortex.

The vortex engulfed Wain and tossed the girl aside. She fired several arrows, but the flames burned them off, and they didn't make it through the vortex in time.

Wain reacted sharply with a swing of his sword and created a blast of dark lightning, and tore part of the vortex apart. His hair burned, and his skin got very hot. He didn't expect Axalt's simple attack to be so dangerous.

"Not bad. So you're using lightning." Axalt muttered.

"Huh, you could say that." Wain smiled, and his eyes sparkled.

He stood next to Axalt and swung his sword twice, using the remaining spheres to create electrical explosions. Debris and a dust cloud rose into the air.

'Damn, I can't see anything.' The girl thought, and her eyes shone brightly. She noticed two silhouettes among the dust cloud, and one of them, with wings, headed toward her.
