Nameless King

While Luar fought Veltrug, Kobe got a more dangerous opponent that with a furious look was slowly heading toward him.

"Nameless... Wait, this war is just one big misunderstanding!" Kobe exclaimed while flailing his arms in a panic manner.

"Agh? Do you really think you can get out of here alive after seeing my face?" Wain uttered as magical circles appeared under his palms, "Maybe that wouldn't have been a problem when I decided to reveal my identity myself, but it's not acceptable now."

Whoooooooosh.

Wain waved his arms as two magical blades headed toward Kobe. He created a shield of ice in front of him, but the blades just passed through it by thrusting into his chest.

"Argh!" Kobe cried out in pain as blood whipped from his wounds.

"Die!" Wain exclaimed and created a magical circle over Kobe from which dozens of magical arrows flew out that hailed down on Kobe.

"Fuck! Do you have to be such an asshole?!" Kobe said as his silhouette blurred.

Kobe emerged from the attack area just before the arrows reached the frozen ground, turning it into a field covered with craters.

"Hey, you may be one of the strongest in the Fourth Chronicle, but this is my Void! Against you will come hundreds of monsters that are strong enough to handle even you!" Kobe exclaimed and popped a few pills into his mouth as his wounds began to heal at times faster, "However, I still suggest that we just stop all this!"

"Huh, if your words were true, you wouldn't be so desperate to end the fight before it started. You know you're going to lose and die!" Wain uttered with a deadly look as he pointed at Kobe.

Kobe flinched as he realized that his words had no effect on Wain, but he couldn't give up that easily.

"You're wrong. If you think I dreamed of fighting you, I don't. I'm absolutely certain of my victory, but hundreds of my monsters will surely die during the fight, I don't need that kind of victory." Kobe waved his hand in a careless manner.

Wain paused for a moment as he looked around. On the hills around him were many monsters with powerful auras, some of them in the Fourth Chronicle, so Wain could not ignore it.

'Great, he hesitates! Maybe I can get away with it. I've got to keep it.' Kobe inwardly muttered.

'Nameless, I promise you I won't tell anyone about what happened today! You and your friend just had too much to drink as Viltrug and I were unlucky enough to meet you under those circumstances." Kobe spoke in an excited manner as he placed his palm on his chest.

Wain frowned, "I can't trust you. It's out of the question. No matter how hard you try, you can't avoid the carnage."

"Hey, you and I both realize that in any other situation I would never want to become your enemy. I mean, there's no point in me revealing your identity, because if I did, you'd find me and kill me. All I want now is to end this pointless war and see you in the Colosseum from the stands next time!" Kobe uttered as he waved his arms with a sincere look.

"Agh..." Wain sighed while shaking his head, "You'd be a great spy or orator that inspires an army, but those techniques don't work on me. Like I said earlier, no one's getting out of here, literally no one."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The ground trembled as Wain released his entire aura that stunned the weak monsters and made them run away in fear.

'Fuck!!!' Kobe inwardly exclaimed as blue streams of energy that completely enveloped him emerged from under the ground.

Kobe had not yet reached to Third Torch, so his strongest weapon was not the Form, a Beyond that he activated.

Two bone daggers appeared in his hands, covered in ice as his white hair turned blue. His coat was replaced by loose blue armor that greatly increased his speed.

"Daggers? Huh, well, have it your way." Wain uttered, removed a Blind Sorcerer, and summoned a Gladius.

'Looks like I'll be covered in blood today, doesn't it? Hehehe. Gladius smirked as a stream of energy erupted from the dark sword.

'Yeah. It is.' Wain inwardly muttered with a slight nod.

Kobe looked at the monsters, sighed, and yelled at the top of his lungs, "NO ONE GET CLOSE! NO ONE DIES IN THIS WAR EXCEPT ME!"

At the same time, the blue seal lit up on each monster, so no one could step forward even if they wanted to.

"Well, well, I didn't expect you to be so noble. That's commendable." Wain smirked as he swung the sword in his hand.

"Huh, you have no idea how scared I am right now..." Kobe muttered while trying to keep the trembling in his legs, "I just can't do otherwise. I'm not a bad guy, you know."

"I'll even be sorry to kill you now, but sometimes we have to do not what we want, but what is necessary." Wain said before turning into a gray flash.

He appeared in front of Kobe as their blades came into contact with each other. Kobe used all his strength to block Wain's attack as the veins in his forehead swelled and the ground beneath him crumbled.

"Not bad, but is that really all you can do?" Wain uttered in a calm voice before attacking.

His foot stabbed into Kobe's stomach, making him vomit blood, then the dark sword as though a flash raced across his chest, leaving a deep cut.

Kobe, with a painful look, took a step back, then his silhouette blurred. He was instantly behind Wain as his daggers were covered in blood. At the same time, two deep cuts appeared on Wain's right leg that instantly began to freeze.

"Huh, motherfucker... That was pretty painful. Well, since you want to die alone, I'll do it with all the honors." Wain smirked as a dark crown with three creepy eyes appeared on it.
