Nameless King

Chapter 472 The Ring



The barrier of the main vault was destroyed, and everyone in the academy felt it. The gothic castle shook violently as if in a powerful earthquake. The energy waves from the barrier explosion shook the shield around the academy, so at first, the teachers and Elders thought they had been attacked.

‘Okay, we’re done with the easy part. Now it’s time to move on to the main course.’ Blind Sorcerer smiled.

He walked over to Kaya and Ron and touched them. Space shuddered as they disappeared. Blind Sorcerer moved them to safety, then he ran into the vault.

The scroll containing the academy’s greatest treasure was at the very top. It floated among the many books and other rare artifacts.

Blind Sorcerer ran there with all his speed. He bounced off the walls and used the soaring slabs as platforms to get to the scroll faster.

Tremble.

Blind Sorcerer almost made it to the top, but suddenly space distorted. A crack appeared in the air, and an arm burst out. It grabbed Blind Sorcerer by the edge of his mantle and threw him aside.

‘Shit!’

“So, so… I thought I was imagining things yesterday, but no, there’s actually a thief in the academy.” Claus said slowly. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢

A second hand appeared from the crack, and they widened the passage wide enough for Claus to enter.

“Well… Who are you? I must admit that of all those who wanted to steal the treasure of the academy. You achieved more than anyone else. I thought that barrier was impossible to break, but you managed to do it.” Claus said calmly.

He walked slowly toward the Blind Sorcerer, Claus literally walking through the air. Purple magical circles appeared beneath his feet as if he were descending stairs.

“You were faster than I thought…” Blind Sorcerer muttered as he rose to his feet, “Looks like this thing is very valuable to you.”

Claus looked at the scroll, “Of course, I had to give up a lot to get it, too bad I can’t use it yet.”

“Then why don’t you give it to me?” Blind Sorcerer grinned, “Unlike you, I can take care of this thing.”

“Huh, good joke. You’re undeniably a skilled burglar, but do you really think you have enough strength to handle me?” Claus exclaimed as his eyes glowed violet brightly.

Several spatial blades appeared next to the Blind Sorcerer. They rushed towards him, cutting through everything in their path, whether solid walls or various magic books.

Claus’ eyes went blank. He thought it was the end. No one was able to defend himself against the Magic of Space, the Blind Sorcerer could only dodge, but Claus left him no room for that.

“Hey, do you think it’s going to be that easy?” Blind Sorcerer smiled.

He removed his eye patch, and his left pupil sparkled. The space nearby suddenly returned to normal, and the spatial blades evaporated.

“What…?” Claus was shocked, “I see… You have spatial magic too, that was unexpected, but it doesn’t change anything anyway.”

Tremble.

Claus sighed as he transformed into purple lightning. He rushed toward the Blind Sorcerer, electric sparks flying apart, destroying everything around him.

“Not so fast.” Blind Sorcerer opened his second eye.

Suddenly it was as if the world had lost its colors, it became black and white, and the flow of time slowed considerably. Incredibly fast lightning sparks hung in the air, only the Blind Sorcerer could move with the normal speed.

He ignored Claus and ran toward the scroll. In a couple of seconds, he was at it, Blind Sorcerer was ready to pick up the scroll, but suddenly there was another barrier around the scroll. It glowed brightly and exploded.

The explosion destroyed most of the vault. Books and rare artifacts flew apart.

“Fuck!” Blind Sorcerer exclaimed.

Controlling time was nothing short of a miracle, only a select few mages could use this power, and many even believed they did not exist. However, even those who had this rare power had difficulty using it. The Blind Sorcerer lost control for a moment, enough for Claus to counterattack.

“The power of time… Holy shit… I thought I’d never meet a mage with these abilities. Looks like today is my day!” Claus grinned as he attacked with all his might.

The Blind Sorcerer created several barriers in front of him, but Claus broke through them easily, his strength was far beyond the abilities of the teachers or the Elders.

Whooooooosh.

Blind Sorcerer flew from the impact to the other side of the vault. He slammed into the wall and threw up a mouthful of blood.

“Maybe we would have had a prolonged fight in another situation, but you made a serious mistake.” Claus said seriously, “You decided to attack a mage in his house. That is the greatest stupidity.”

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the space trembled, and various symbols appeared on the walls, slowly covering everything like vines. The symbols glowed brightly, and pressure came over the Blind Sorcerer. Even he could only move with great difficulty.

Claus didn’t stop there. He put his palm on the floor, then many magical circles appeared in the air. They all turned toward the Blind Sorcerer and were ready to attack.

“You’re lucky. I need your power, so I won’t kill you yet. There’s almost nothing left of my vault because of you, but that’s nothing compared to the magic of time.” Claus smirked, “What do you say? Will you be my lab rat, or would you rather die? Which will you choose?”

“Huh, I knew you were strong, but I didn’t think I’d be in such a bad position.” Blind Sorcerer muttered.

Claus frowned, Blind Sorcerer was calm, and that alarmed him.

“This scroll hides the secret of the chaos artifact, right? Well, in that case, before I take it away, I’m going to wreak real havoc here.” The Blind Sorcerer grinned as the bloody ring appeared in his hand.

Claus’ eyes went wide, he tried to stop the Blind Sorcerer, but it was too late.
