Nameless King

Liang had tricked Nitra, so now she was serious about forcing him to use her Form. She had managed to suppress Liang considerably, but when he received the first wound the fight immediately changed.

However, it didn’t mean that Nitra was close to victory, on the contrary, she forced Liang to become more serious.

Crackle.

Scarlet drops rushed outwards when the dark spear pierced Liang’s palm. Every drop of his blood was a treasure to the creatures in the lower Chronicle, but to him, it was only a consumable item that he could spend at any time.

‘Shit! If it hits me, even with all the enhancements, I could take critical damage!” Nitra internally exclaimed as the dragon on her left arm shuddered. Ancient runes shone brightly on the dragon, then she threw her arm forward.

Liang’s pupils narrowed as powerful currents of wind swept in front of him, trying to protect him from the impending threat.

All the energy from the runes traveled down Nitra’s arm, releasing a blast of incredible power from her palm.

The massive explosion created streams of black flames with endless electrical discharges flying in all directions. Part of the Zero Area was immediately destroyed, leaving only a huge crater in the place of the explosion like after a meteorite fall.

Nitra remained in the same place, the dense barrier of darkness completely protecting her from the explosion, as she remained standing on the small piece of land that remained untouched.

Liang couldn’t protect himself, the wind couldn’t protect him, it was simply impossible. He was lying on the ground, while blood from his many wounds covered the dark earth.

His breathing was measured and calm, but he had definitely taken damage.

‘Shit… I was able to succeed, but it cost me dearly…’ Nitra internally muttered, breathing heavily.

She only had ten minutes in total, for the dozens of attacks and collisions that had just happened she had only spent thirty seconds. However, this explosion had taken her at least two minutes.

Technically Nitra had no time limit, her energy wouldn’t run out even after a hundred years, however, her body had a limit. The powerful energy discharge caused cracks to appear on her body. It wasn’t critical, but she shouldn’t be allowed to reach the critical state.

‘Well… I can withstand a few more of these blasts, the most important thing is that I was able to hurt him!’ Nitra internally exclaimed with a confident smirk on her face.

Then, she jumped forward, finding herself on the edge of the crater, and with a confident stride headed towards Liang, who was still lying on the ground.

“Come on! Stop being so stubborn! You’ve already been injured, it’s time to use your Form! You have no other choice!” Nitra exclaimed, gathering energy before her next attack.

She blinked, and when she opened her eyes, Liang was already standing confidently on his feet, with a cold stare. He looked at his hand, then gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, despite the pain, and prepared to fight.

Nitra frowned, biting her lip until it bled, “Shit! Is your pride really worth it?! Your blood is a true treasure, you definitely wouldn’t have gotten those wounds if you used your Form.”

Liang looked at Nitra for a while, then he calmly said, “I’m sure you listened to me carefully last time, but I’ll say it again. If you want to see my Form, you’ll have to make me do it. Yeah, it’s not a deathmatch anymore, but you’ll have to become a real threat to me for me to do it.”

“Fine! In that case, I’ll finish this in the next three minutes!!!” Nitra exclaimed furiously as the dragons on her arms glowed brightly.

The runes, channeled their energy directly to Nitra, making her significantly stronger, but for a very limited time. Now, along with the original ten minutes, she only had three, and a few seconds had already passed.

Liang’s eyes widened slightly, but it was almost imperceptible.

Then, Nitra turned into a deadly flash quickly appearing in front of Liang. Before he could realize it, Nitra had already swung her spear, successfully touching Liang’s chest with the tip and leaving a long cut on it.

A powerful surge of blood rushed out, covering part of Nitra’s face, but, she didn’t even pay attention to it as she had only one goal – to make Liang perceive her as a threat.

Perhaps she shouldn’t have given in to Liang’s manipulations, but none of that mattered at the time. Now it was a friendly fight, so she could do what she wanted.

“You think I’m not worthy of this!?” Nitra exclaimed, relentlessly attacking, “I’ll show you I’m not! If you don’t use your Form, I will actually kill you! It will only be your fault!”

Liang didn’t reply anything, even if he wanted to, he simply didn’t have the opportunity to do so. Nitra attacked, and it gradually became faster.

While Liang was able to block and deflect every one of Nitra’s attacks before, things had changed. Its strength, speed, and accuracy had increased, so now sometimes Liang missed attacks.

His body was much stronger than Nitra’s, so even after ten of Nitra’s successful attacks, Liang continued to move at the same speed as before. However, even he couldn’t withstand the endless damage.

“Damn… Has she actually started to win? Is this really happening?” Marlis muttered in disbelief, intently watching Nitra’s every move, “Her Form is strong. However, if she hadn’t gotten her power from the past Tree and learned to use her instincts, she wouldn’t have been able to reach this level.”

Wain and Sven were silent as their gazes became slightly darker. They knew what could happen if Nitra continued to attack further.

‘Perhaps it would be a disaster… or perhaps Nitra would finally get what she wanted… The important thing is that she doesn’t regret it later…’ Wain said to himself, as his gaze grew serious.

Alucard who was watching the fight also for some reason lost his grin. He realized that now Nitra had actually become a worthy opponent for Liang and that had its consequences.

“Well… Looks like I’ll have to stop being a spectator soon. Something terrible is about to happen and it’s going to be all her fault…” Alucard muttered, dropping his gaze to Nitra.

There was a confident smile on her face as the ground around her was already covered in Liang’s blood. Two minutes had already passed, and in all that time she hadn’t received a single wound, but Liang had already reached his limit.

Whoooooooooooosh.

Nitra thrust the spear forward, piercing Liang’s shoulder. Normally, he wouldn’t have missed such a serious attack, but now he didn’t have the strength to react. His fatigue and weakness had already accumulated.

‘Oh… This is bad…’ Liang thought while looking at Nitra. Her hands turned into a blur when dozens of attacks rained down on him like black dots.

With a few swings of his sword, Liang was able to repel most of them, but he immediately received several wounds. Blood was constantly flowing from his wounds, and it seemed that he would soon be completely dried up.

‘Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I can do it! There’s still some time left! Even if he doesn’t use his Form, then I can win! It will definitely be worth it!” Nitra exclaimed as her eyes sparkled, and she aimed her spear towards Liang’s chest.

She had less than a minute left, but that was more than enough time for her to finish this fight. Now she was going to win either way.

Nitra felt strange looking at her spear, heading towards Liang. Since it was the first time his gaze wasn’t cold and arrogant, it seemed that he had weakened a lot and started to faint.

However, in fact, at that moment, Liang was experiencing something completely different. He felt free and relieved as if dozens of chains with infinite weight had fallen from his shoulders.

When the spear was about to pierce him, Liang swung his sword, deflecting Nitra’s attack. However, she instantly counterattacked.

But, then something changed.

Nitra felt as if the whole world had frozen, or she was in a completely different place, and with a different opponent.

She didn’t know if she was dreaming or not, then she saw a man with long crimson hair and all-consuming eyes.

Behind him was some silhouette that took on his boundless aura and power whose existence should be forbidden.

Then, Nitra saw a blood-red sword with a sharp glint running down the blade.

For her, it lasted a long time, and she couldn’t see all the details. For the others, it was faster than a moment, even Sven, Wain, and Alucard didn’t see all the details.

At the same moment, between Liang, whose black hair was fluttering in the wind, and Nitra, for a second appeared a spark .

As soon as the spark disappeared, the entire ground behind her was cut into massive cubes and destroyed into tiny particles. The power of this attack spread far beyond Zero Area, destroying mountains, hills, and quickly reaching the Tree.

The energy of the attack split the incredibly strong Tree into many pieces. Such damage was critical, so the Tree rushed towards the ground with a loud crack, in pieces, slowly but surely.

Nitra didn’t have the strength to be angry or feel any emotion as this attack turned her into practically nothing. Her body was shattered into millions of pieces.𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘭．𝘦𝘵
