Nameless King

“These two are pretty interesting. A lonely Inerian and a member of a long-vanished race.” The green-eyed Spirit grinned.

“Yeah, the development of their relationship is even more important than the ordeal, ahahaha.” Yellow-Eyed Spirit laughed.

“Hey, you should be a little more serious. This is our test, after all.”

“Blue-Eyed, we’re not a Spirit Temple anyway. Only a small part of it is kept here.” Red-eyed Spirit said.

“But, it’s still very important. Because of it, we can still be here.” The purple-eyed Spirit spoke quietly.

“White-eyed, you’re surprisingly quiet, is something wrong?” The orange-eyed Spirit asked.

“No, nothing’s wrong… I just think things are probably a lot more interesting than we think.”

…

Whooooooosh.

The energy blade came down on Wain, and he bounced to the side. Erza’s fists went up in flames, and she instantly attacked the White Spirit, but he blocked her attack with his arm.

“Not bad. Trying to protect him, huh?” The White Spirit smiled and suddenly disappeared.

He appeared beside Wain and struck a straight ball. Wain flapped his wings and retreated, then a phantom kite tail appeared above him. The tail came down on Spirit like a whip, but Spirit blocked it easily.

Erza decided to take advantage of the situation and ran down the aisle, she wanted to put a sword in it and pass the test.

Whoooosh.

Suddenly the Spirit appeared before her.

“Do you really think it’s going to be that easy?” The Spirit smiled and swung his sword.

Erza responded by creating two fire crosses, but the blade shattered them easily, and the Spirit stomped his foot on the ground. The shockwave tossed Erza and Wain aside and prevented them from getting any closer.

They were annoyed and frowning, the White Spirit not even giving them a chance to get close to the altar.

“Ah, I completely forgot to tell you. You can surrender at any time, just say so, and you’ll go back to the Warrior Statues, but unfortunately, in that case, the test will fail.”

“And don’t get your hopes up!” Erza exclaimed and created several dark spheres.

The White Spirit frowned and jumped aside, though he was strong, Erza’s attacks were dangerous even for him.

“You said you were invulnerable, then what’s the point of retreating?” Wain smirked and clenched his palm in a fist. Electric discharges appeared above the Spirit, and a dark thunder pillar fell upon it.

“Argh!” The Spirit cried out in pain and roared to create an energy barrier around itself that protected it.

“You bastards!” The Spirit became angry, and part of him turned black and swung his sword like a madman.

Wain and Erza prepared to defend themselves, but suddenly space trembled, and the Spirit froze. He trembled as if he had met a nightmare.

“No, why did you interfere!”

Whooooosh.

Out of the air appeared a dark hand that covered the White Spirit’s mouth.

“Quiet. I just want to be a part of it too. Do you mind?” Behind the White Spirit, the head of the White-Eyed Spirit appeared. He had come here from the arena.

“What? It’s you! We entered your portal!” Erza exclaimed.

“Yes. I’m sorry, one of the Spirits tried to interfere with you during the second trial, but unfortunately, I want to do that, too.” The white-eyed Spirit smiled and stepped completely out of the portal. He touched the White Spirit’s forehead with the tip of his finger, and it evaporated.

The White-Eyed Spirit stretched and smiled and said, “Okay, here we go. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

He stepped forward, and a terrifying aura burst out of him.

“You bastard!” Suddenly Erza appeared in front of him. She sensed a threat from the White-Eyed Spirit and was not about to back down, even though he was one of the seven main Spirits.

“Did you know you are too emotional?” The Spirit smirked, and his hand turned into a blur. Moments later, a fist dent appeared on Erza’s stomach, and she flew off to the side.

“Erza!” Wain rushed to the rescue.

“Wait, I want to deal with her first. I’ll leave you to dessert.” The Spirit waved his hand, and a cage of darkness appeared around Wain.

“What?” Wain tried to destroy the bars and get out, but his attacks were unsuccessful, “Bitch! Why the fuck did you interfere in the trial? Aren’t you one of the leaders?”

“I told you, I was just curious.” The white-eyed Spirit shrugged and walked over to Erza.

Streams of blood trickled from the corners of her mouth, and she breathed heavily. She was shocked by the speed and force of the Spirit’s blow; she couldn’t even see anything.

“You are an Inerian without a man, and yet you are so strong. How is that possible?” Spirit shook his head thoughtfully.

“Fuck you!” Erza stood up and punched Spirit with a fiery fist for all she was worth, but he stopped her with his palm, and the fire quickly went out.

“You’re strong and fiery, you’re an enigma. You know what has always helped me get answers to my questions?”

Erza frowned.

“It’s the pain.” The Spirit smiled and kicked Erza in the stomach.

“Argh!” She threw up a mouthful of blood but then got another punch and another one.

The Spirit didn’t stop striking. He was beating Erza, but the smile gradually disappeared from his face as if he was waiting for something. Erza tried to resist, but there was nothing she could do.

‘Shit! He’s going to kill her now! I’ve got to get out of here!’

Wain tried to get rid of the cage, but even his a Beyond couldn’t help it. Gray energy devoured the bars, but the darkness instantly restored them.

“Eh, did I make a mistake?” Spirit muttered, looking at the battered Erza. There was a pool of blood underneath her, struggling to breathe.

“Okay, then it’s time for me to take you on.” Spirit smirked and headed toward Wain.

“Wait…” Erza said with difficulty. 𝐛𝐝𝗼𝘃𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

“Hmm? Can you still talk? Just stay there and watch the show.”

Erza’s eyes went dark in front of her, and she could hardly stay conscious.

“Bastard… You won’t touch him!” Erza shouted with the last of her strength, and the stripes on her body glowed brightly with yellow light.

“There it is.” Spirit smiled contentedly.
