Nameless King

Zariel's sword shone brightly, and a devastating beam of flame rained down on Hunter Leader. The Hunter no longer had any artifacts left, and the flames burned him without leaving ashes.

'What a horrible death... He was just given hope and immediately met with overwhelming terror.'

"Osvald, what shall we do?" Wain approached him and prepared to fight.

"Fight, prepare for the worst. I know them. Look closely at the sign on their chest, they are members of one of the three strongest Orders of Angels, the Sun Order."

Zariel stared at Osvald, and suddenly his eyes went wide.

"Osvald... Are you really the one!" Zariel exclaimed, flapped his wings, and landed in front of him. The rest of the Angels followed their commander.

'Is he familiar with Osvald? Good, looks like luck is on our side.' Wain inwardly sighed in relief.

"How do you know me?" Osvald looked wary.

"Ahahahaha, of course, I know you, everyone in the Sun Order knows you." Zariel laughed, "You're a Legend. Osvald, Dragon Slayer."

'Dragon Slayer? Is Osvald strong enough to kill a Dragon?! Wain was shocked.

Osvald frowned, "So what next? Do you want my autograph?"

"Not a bad offer." Zariel smirked, "But I have a better idea. Instead of an autograph, I'll take your hand!"

Whooooooooosh.

Zariel flapped his wings, and a torrent of fire rained down on Osvald. He took a deep breath and blew out a wave of white energy that engulfed the flames.

"Fuck! Osvald, I thought they were your fans. Why the hell does it always happen that way?"

"Well... fame gets you in a lot of trouble sometimes. Frankly, I'm surprised anyone still remembers me after all these years of being reclusive." Osvald shook his head, "Wain, get ready, use everything you've got. I'd smear them on the floor with one attack in any other situation, but not in this area."

"Understood." Wain nodded and prepared for battle.

"Is the Great Osvald going to be assisted by some boy?" Zariel looked at Wain, and his eyes lit up.

Wain felt an intense fever, and he was sharply dizzy.

"What a pathetic trick." Wain jumped aside and covered his eyes with his hands.

"I didn't know you still took students, especially someone of your own."

"He's not one of mine, and he's not my apprentice."

Osvald pounded his fists against each other, and they were covered in white flames, and his aura intensified many times.

"What?" Zariel stared at Wain, "He's a human?!"

"Yes, but you shouldn't care." Osvald said coldly and turned into a white flash.

He was in front of Zariel and attacked sharply. Zariel didn't duck, he looked at Osvald, relaxed as he was completely confident in himself and his partners.

Whoooosh.

Two angels appeared in front of Zariel, and they blocked the attack.

"Go away!" Osvald shouted and flung them aside. The angels flew off dozens of meters and pierced the walls of the fortress with their bodies.

Zariel flapped his wings and flew aside. He was in no hurry to attack, Zariel was the kind of man who preferred to analyze the battlefield first and then make plans.

Osvald was strong, and Zariel was not going to neglect that.

'Though it's a very powerful area, even that can't completely limit his power. Also, this guy can interfere in the battle, that's not good...' Zariel thought and pointed to Wain.

"Deal with him. I'll deal with Osvald." Zariel said calmly.

"Yes!" The Angels exclaimed and attacked Wain. There were four in all, and each of them was an excellent fighter and a true Pearl Hunter.

Wain became wary. The situation had gotten out of hand. He didn't expect to have to fight anyone else after his fight with Lin. Wain was not prepared.

Bam.

The angels attacked from different directions, and Wain struggled to block their attacks.

"Wain!" Osvald turned and ran to his aid, but suddenly Zariel appeared in front of him.

"Not so fast. I'm your opponent!" Zariel swung his sword and created a wave of flame that melted the ground and the fortress wall behind him.

"What is the point of you fighting me? Do you really think you can win?"

"Huh, I'm not that stupid. I'm still a long way from your level, but you've already expended a lot of energy, and this zone is holding you back. I won't forgive myself if I don't take advantage of such a unique opportunity." Zariel smiled, and his wings were covered in golden fire.

His scarlet hair glowed, and crimson shoulder pads with a wing pattern appeared on his shoulders.

"All right, have it your way, but don't complain later."

"Sure, by the way, aren't you worried that your buddy might get killed?"

"Better worry about yourself and your men. I assure you, by the time we're done, there'll only be a few feathers left of them." Osvald said coldly, and his eyes glazed over, and the ground trembled.

'Powerful...' Zariel gulped and held his sword out in front of him.

...

Bam. Bam. Bam.

A hail of blows came down on Wain, and all he could do was defend himself. He couldn't block all the attacks, so his whole body was already covered in wounds and bruises.

Wain was angry, but he didn't act impulsively. He endured the pain and studied his opponents. Unlike them, he didn't have much energy and had to use it as effectively as possible.

'Hunter Leader used the amulet to give the Angels a signal... So the barrier in this zone can be broken through, but from the outside, not from the inside. The main problem is finding this zone, even the Angels couldn't detect it without a clue.'

Wain had a plan. He realized that he had almost no chance of winning, and Osvald could not help him because he was busy with his opponent, so Wain decided to change the situation dramatically.

He jumped aside, and a gray robe and a tight bandage appeared. The angels attacked him, but he brushed them aside with a wave of dark flame and tore off the blindfold.

Wain opened his left eye, and the space beside him trembled.
