Nameless King

“You’re right. I won’t kill you, I can’t let you die, but nothing stops me from maiming and injuring you, the most important thing is that your life is not threatened.” Erza said calmly, enlarging the orb.

The energy of darkness emanated from the orb, consuming everything around it like a dark hole. The temple and the columns trembled, and the flames from the white torches were sucked into the orb.

Wain frowned. He understood that Erza’s words made sense, and she would do it. The seriousness of her intentions was off the charts.

‘Use the crystal… Blood… Never forget the power of blood…’ Suddenly the voice of the Knight of the Bloody Rose sounded.

‘Blood? That’s right, I didn’t spend so much money on it for nothing.’

Whooooooosh.

The Ring of Damned glowed brightly, and a small red crystal appeared in Wain’s hands. He crushed it, and a saturated essence of blood headed toward it.

“Increasing your blood purity? Do you really think that’s going to help you?” Erza snorted and lowered her hand. The dark orb slowly headed toward Wain.

Wain did not dodge, he was focused on absorbing the essence of blood.

[You have absorbed a large amount of high-quality blood essence. Your blood purity is increased by 1%]

[You have absorbed a large amount of blood…]

[Your blood essence has reached 90%. No further increase is possible without a better quality of absorbed blood essence].

[One of the conditions for starting the third evolution has been met.]

[Passive skill ‘Forgotten Blood’ has been opened.]

[Forgotten Blood (Unique).

Your blood possesses a hidden and ancient power that has gradually begun to awaken. This is only the very beginning, and you will grow stronger by increasing your blood purity until you reach your limit].

Some beings had secret and powerful ancestors whose blood was mixed in the common bloodline. This was a great rarity and a real boon, as well as a nightmare for their enemies.

‘Hey, that’s a job for you.’ Knight of the Bloody Rose calmly said, turning to the Black Sun Aristocrat.

‘Of course, now I can finally have some fun.’ Black Sun Aristocrat said seriously and pulled his mask open again.

A tremendous amount of darkness burst out, and Wain’s veins swelled, they quickly darkened, and a dark mask with a white eye appeared on half of his face.

Wain raised his hand and strained his fingers. A phantom dark hand appeared around the sphere, squeezed it, and engulfed it.

“What…?” Erza was shocked. This attack would have seriously hurt even a Third Chronicle man, but Wain got rid of it easily.

“You decided to attack me with darkness? Ahahahaha, you idiot, that’s my element!” The words of the Black Sun Aristocrat came out of Wain’s mouth.

Wain snapped his fingers, and the phantom hand did the same. It created a small orb that headed toward Erza like a bullet.

“Using your pathetic tricks again?” Erza said dismissively, she didn’t think this attack was dangerous.

“Oh, I wouldn’t act so cocky if I were you, it could get you killed.”

“Hmm?” Erza looked at the orb flying toward her and swung her arm, she wanted to kick it away, but she stopped and recoiled to the side at the last moment.

Crackle.

The orb touched the wall, and there was a deafening explosion consuming dozens of torches and white flames.

‘What kind of nonsense is that? This attack would take my arm off!’ Erza exclaimed to herself.

She didn’t understand how Wain had so much power, even though he was in Second Chronicle.

‘It’s like I attacked myself…’

“You seem to understand. I used the darkness you created against you and will continue to do so until you give up.” The mask said, and the phantom hand disappeared.

“Stop this now. We didn’t come here to fight, we came here to be tested.” Wain uttered.

“Are you kidding me? Maybe the darkness is ineffective against you now, but that doesn’t mean you can stand up to my flames!” Erza exclaimed and created a massive cross of fire in front of Wain.

“I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you.” 𝑏𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

Wain jumped up and used the Ice Execution. The silver sword sliced the fire cross in two and froze it into rubble.

Erza bit her lip. Even though she was much stronger, Wain was again able to find a weapon against her, which annoyed her greatly.

She could fight him relying on physical strength alone, but Erza knew that in that case, Wain would fight until she died.

“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” Erza started kicking the ground in rage, causing the whole temple to shake. A large amount of red and dark energy burst out of it in the form of two streams.

She was angry, which was her way of venting her accumulated emotions. She met Wain again, and again, she failed to capture him, for Erza, it was real torture.

“Ah… Ah… Ah…” Erza breathed heavily.

“Is that it? Have you calmed down?”

“I guess so, but I’m not backing down from my goal. Next time you’ll be mine!”

“Huh, good luck. Then you’ll definitely be weaker than me, and you won’t stand a chance.” Wain said confidently and canceled the forms.

Erza shook her head and looked around, “Anyway, what should we do?”

Columns and torches went back and forth so far that there was no end in sight.

“I don’t know. We need to find the altar and thrust the stone sword into it. I think we just have to keep going.” Wain said and went.

“Don’t you dare tell me what to do! Don’t forget that you’re only a man.” Erza snorted and overtook Wain, standing in front.

‘There were so many options, but she’s the one who became my partner… It’s definitely not good. I hope we live to see the second stage of the auction.’

Wain and Erza followed the torches and looked around carefully. They didn’t know what to expect, at any moment, there could be a deadly danger, and they had to be ready for it.

Step.

Suddenly Erza stopped and prepared to fight.

“Well…looks like we’re here.” Wain muttered.
