Nameless King

Everyone froze for a while. A very powerful aura was emanating from Teresa, so no one could believe that Lin could handle her so easily.

For the Twilight Embers members, it was a small victory since one of the strongest opponents had already been defeated as for the monsters, Teresa was a victim that could easily be finished off and get a huge amount of energy.

"You want to fight me? Fine." Wain smirked as a stream of dark energy erupted from the seal on his palm that made everyone shudder in fear, "But, I want to ask you, why did you choose ashes?"

"You seem to know the dilemma all Ashens face. I decided that calm ash is better than a bright flame for the art of the sword, isn't it?" Lin said before swinging her sword.

Crackling.

In the distance, a massive boulder was cut off that fell to the ground with a rumble.

"I see. You just picked what works best for you." Wain nodded, "I have a friend who thinks differently. To him, ash is the only way to achieve power, so let's see which one of you is right."

In Wain's hand appeared a dark sword that exuded an eerie aura as though a warrior who had been through dozens of wars.

"Nameless! We must destroy the barrier!" Skyla exclaimed.

"Well, we must improvise. I believe Fosko is strong, but there's no way he can hold these two together long enough for us to make it through. Try to loosen the barrier, for now, I don't think I'll need much time." Wain said in a mocking manner before swinging his sword.

Lin's pupils narrowed as she took a step back, so the sword blade flew a millimeter from her neck.

"What...? Lin retreated...? She decided not to block the attack...?" Kane muttered with a dazed look.

"Hey, your sister is contentedly beautiful, but right now, the only one you should be looking at is me!" Fosko exclaimed as he tossed Kane into the air.

"Bastard. You think you're all still stronger, right? Then let me show you how big the difference between us is! I'll just burn you to the ground!" Kane exclaimed as he pointed his hands at Fosko.

A white flame burst out of his palms that completely engulfed Fosko. The flame was so hot that it spread rock as though lava was pouring down.

Whooooosh.

Out of the torrents of flame jumped Fosko, under which a green magic circle appeared as two sharp daggers in his hands.

"Well, well, with flames like that, you can't even make a fire. It looks like the extra energy made you overconfident, but I'll help you fix it." Fosko smirked and snapped his finger.

Dozens of green magical circles appeared around Kane that floated in the air thanks to the lights under his feet. They had only one purpose, to be a tool for Fosko.

Whooooooooosh.

Fosko, like a shadow, began to jump from one magic circle to another, gradually increasing in speed.

"Tsk. This is ridiculous." Kane waved his hand, the flames under his feet intensified, and he headed beyond the sphere.

Crackling.

Suddenly something flew in front of Kane as a long cut appeared on his arm, from which a stream of blood gushed forth.

"What...?" Kane muttered with a dazed look.

"Ahahahaha, you want to escape? Try it! Your only way out of the sphere is in pieces!" Fosko exclaimed, swung his blades and an X-shaped cut appeared on Kane's back.

Fosko had no intention of stopping. He used all his speed and skill to increase the number of wounds on Kane's body gradually.

Kane attacked with clots of flame, but Fosko was too fast. Even though the fire seemed to reach him, in fact, he was already behind Kane.

"You wretched cat! You are nothing more than an animal!" Kane shouted with a furious look as his flames intensified.

Kane slammed his palms together, and a massive wave of flame that spread dozens of yards around him departed.

"Oh, shit..." Fosko muttered before bouncing away from the magic circle.

"Damn... That looks dangerous." Wain said with a slight smile on his face while looking at the approaching flames.

Whooooosh.

Wain swung his sword as he split the flames so they wouldn't hit him or Teresa, that lay behind.

The flames headed toward the Twilight Embers members as they already began to erect protective barriers.

"Eh... Brother always acts rashly... Sometimes it can be quite problematic." Lin muttered, sighed, and swung her sword.

Her movement was graceful as all the flames headed toward her sword as if a whirlwind completely covered it, then disappeared.

"Miss Lin, thank you!" Someone exclaimed.

"It's all right." Lin looked at Kane, "Brother, you need to get out of here, or else while you deal with your opponent, you'll kill all our people."

"Tsk. Okay, I hear you." Kane frowned as he flew down.

Kane headed toward the spacious cave that was below the Twilight Embers base. There were dozens of monsters waiting for him, but as soon as Kane released his flame, the monsters scattered away.

Whooooooooosh.

Kane waved his hand as a huge fire circle appeared on the ground.

"Come here. This arena is just for the two of us. Either my flames go out or your cat ears stay here forever!' Kane exclaimed while pointing at Fosko.

"Well, well, a man has never asked me out before. Support me, this is my first experience." Fosko smirked and, a moment later was at the circle of fire.

Kane snapped his finger as he opened a passage for Fosko.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the ground trembled as several monsters with menacing auras approached Fosko. All of them had recently moved into the Fourth Chronicle, but they were truly dangerous creatures.

"Are you guys aware that it's not good to disturb others? You can watch if you want, but keep your distance." Fosko uttered as he turned around.

"Hehehe, there are only two of you here. You are in our territory, so today, you will die and become our dinner!" The huge Lizard exclaimed before attacking Fosko.

Fosko jumped up as the monster's paw passed under his feet, looked at Kane, and said, "Sorry, I'm sorry my fans are bothering you, I'll deal with it now."

Fosko smirked as his blades gleamed.
