Nameless King

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

An eerie aura emanated from Wain that as though ghosts were spreading around. Some of those in the Third Chronicle were forced to bend a knee to cope with the pressure while the ground beneath Wain was covered in cracks. His eyes were bloodshot and looked like they might burst at any moment.

"You... Who gave you permission to interfere in my fight?" Wain shouted in a furious voice as it spread throughout the third level of Granite Caverns.

"Well, well, looks like I managed to piss off the always cold Nameless. Should I put that in my personal achievement book? What do you think?" Prima said in a careless manner.

"Nameless, calm down!" Skyla exclaimed, "This is Prima. She's the head of the Northern District. You shouldn't quarrel with her."

"Shut up!" Wain exclaimed, "Do you even know what a good fight is? Ah?! This is the second time it has been ruined! First, a damn dragon, and now a piece of metal! All you have to do is destroy the barrier! Why haven't you done that yet?!"

Whoooooooosh.

Wain threw Ice Terror at the barrier. The sword turned into an ice cone that possessed a huge amount of energy. Waves of energy went through the barrier as it shook violently, but it wasn't enough to break through the barrier that set up the Fifth Chronicle one.

'Almost... Let's add some more power...' Cursed Swordsman muttered as the cone suddenly spun.

The pressure finally cracked the barrier, then it shattered into small pieces as a wave of energy spread apart.

"Great! This is incredible! Now the Crystal is ours!" Skyla exclaimed with a happy look.

Wain jumped to the crystal and put his palm to it.

"Wait... What are you going to do?" Skyla uttered while in disbelief.

"You wanted to get rid of the Crystal, so I will help you do it. Don't you dare get in my way, or you will become my enemy." Wain looked at Skyla with an ice-cold look before thrusting his sword into the crystal.

Blue waves of energy came out of the crystal and went in all directions, but as soon as Wain released his aura, all the currents rushed toward him.

The tattoos of chains on Wain's body sparkled brightly as his power increased. With each passing second, the energy was more and more, as did the cracks in the crystal.

'Great. That's what it takes. You certainly didn't come here for anything.' The Cursed Swordsman smirked.

Wain nodded, turned the sword, and pulled it out of the crystal.

Crackle.

The already gray crystal, completely devastated, shattered into small shards as the debris rolled on the ground. One of those reached Prima, that stopped it with her foot.

"Well, well, it completely absorbed that much energy in less than a minute. I wonder which Ras can do that?" Prima grinned as she crushed the shard of crystal.

Wain stared at her with a gaze that as though it could literally pierce her.

"Okay, it looks like the main reason you're all gathered here is gone, so if you'd be so kind as to clear the room." Prima snapped her finger as she spread her mechanical wings.

Small metal spheres flew out of the wings that, like drones, headed toward the Guild members, wounded or not, it didn't matter. The spheres flew toward everyone but Wain, Skyla, Teresa, Lin, Fosko, and Kane.

The spheres opened as they turned into small robots with arms, so they grabbed the humans and carried them away.

"Don't resist. She's right, you have no reason to stay here anymore." Skyla said while holding her arms crossed.

"I don't mind if you are staying, but please move a safe distance away. I'm not sure I can keep you safe in this situation." Prima said as she waved her hand.

The drones left everyone who could still stand on their feet on the edges of the caves, there was an excellent view of the battlefield.

Whoooooosh.

Fosko appeared beside Teresa, threw her on his shoulder, and said, "Since we've made it, we'll leave you to it. Have a nice day."

Fosko touched Skyla's shoulder as they disappeared and were a mile away.

"Nameless... If it wasn't for Prima you would definitely have killed my sister. I won't forget that, and one day you'll have to take my challenge! I will have my revenge!" Kane uttered with a serious look before flying away.

"Why did you set all this up?" Wain asked as he pointed his sword at Prima.

Prima stared intently into his eyes for a while, then leaned slightly and said, "Nameless, I apologize for interfering in your fight, I know what happened during your fight at Colosseum, so it was rude of me, but instead of her, I will fight you."

"Tsk. Don't say that nonsense." Wain frowned, "You didn't have to get in my way! Just one second and this girl would have turned into an ice statue, then I would have no problem fighting you, so you definitely did it on purpose!"

"Huh, looks like I've been figured out." Prima grinned.

'Well... Why did you do that?'

"Maybe because I'm very kind, or maybe... I just wanted to piss you off properly." Prima smirked as her hair electrified.

"Shit. I swear, if anyone interrupts me this time, I will shred everyone indiscriminately." Wain uttered, shook his head, and prepared to fight.

"Wait. I have a proposition for you." Prima said as she extended her hand forward.

"Hmm?"

"It will be a one-on-one fight, and the entire third level of Granite Caverns will be our arena, so we can make this fight official." Prima waved her hand, and a message appeared in front of Wain.

[Prima Costo (Rating - 155) wants to contest you by Colosseum rules.]

[Do you accept?]

"What...?" Wain was confused, "Shouldn't we be at the Colosseum?"

"Just agree." Prima said as she tilted her head, "Only for you know, if it weren't for your reputation, then there's no way I would fight someone with a Rating as low as yours, but you're an exception."

"Well, you will regret your decision." Wain said before accepting the contest.
