Nameless King

For Wain, Erza, Ern, and Alas, the two waterfalls were no obstacle, but their main task was not to survive but to stay on the flowers. 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂

“Alas, can you do something about it?” Ern exclaimed.

“Given the size of the waterfall, it would be problematic…” Alas muttered.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.” Wain muttered as his aura changed.

The temperature next to him became much lower. His coat disappeared as tattoos of chains appeared on his bare torso. An icy sword appeared in his left hand, and his gaze became as cold as glaciers.

Wain swung the sword upward. The icy torrent came crashing down on the waterfall and froze it. Even though the water was raging, it could not cope with such low temperatures. Then, Wain swung his sword once more. He helped Alas and Ern as he froze their waterfall. The two streams of water turned into huge icicles, which shattered into small shards because of their own weight.

“It’s a good thing we have Wain.” Ern smiled.

“Well… It’s amazing.” Alas said slowly.

They successfully passed the third stage, so it was time for the fourth.

A huge, green magic circle appeared in the air. It was much larger than all the previous ones.

“It looks like this is the final one. The last stage is left to go through, and we’ll have the flower.” Ern suggested.

“Agreed.” Alas prepared for battle, “I hope the Spirit with the red wings doesn’t disappoint us.”

A huge monster slowly emerged from the magic circle. It was Ent, a huge creature of roots, flowers, and leaves.

“Can it fly?” Ern asked.

“Looks like it.” Wain nodded.

“Damn… I want to do that, too! Why can some log do what I can’t?”

Ent looked at Ern as it attacked. Ent’s arm lengthened, so many roots headed toward Ern.

Ern stepped forward and destroyed the roots with a powerful blow, but suddenly new branches grew from the damaged parts. Ern had no choice, he had to jump back to the edge of the flower just as Alas did.

The roots gradually filled the entire space, leaving Alas and Ern with only a small portion where they could stand.

“Not bad.” Alas said calmly as he swung his spear.

He created several wind currents that shattered the roots into many pieces. However, they continued to grow, Ent didn’t even need to go near them to defeat them.

“This is bad. Our attacks are useless, we are only making things harder, we need another way.” Ern said seriously.

“I know what to do.” Erza uttered.

As an Inerian, she had two attributes, darkness and flame, so one of them was perfect for dealing with an enemy like Ent.

She pointed her hand at Ent as several flaming crosses appeared next to the monster. Their heat was so intense that Wain, Alas, and Ern felt as if they were right next to a bonfire.

The crosses gradually approached Ent, the scarlet flames burning the roots and leaving only ashes from them. Ent tried to resist and escape, but Erza saw it coming. She clenched her hand in her fist as all the crosses exploded. The fire from the explosion even reached the flowers that slightly scorched the petals.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

“Great. You should have done it sooner.” Ern clapped his hands, “Or did you want to watch me and Alas try to find a way not to fall?”

“Shut up.”

“Hey, you don’t have to be so rude.”

Wain looked up, “Is that the end of it?”

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Space shuddered, and they returned to the temple.

“You’ve done well. However, I won’t hide that you’re lucky to have such a versatile team. The flower is yours, but you’ll have to decide who gets the reward from me.” The spirit disappeared as a massive dark coffin appeared in its place.

A powerful, ancient aura emanated from the coffin.

A crackle.

The coffin door flew aside, and a dark stream of energy burst out of it with a strange whistling sound like a scream.

Inside the coffin lay a powerful weapon. It was a dark spear with a dark base and a scarlet blade.

“Well… I think it’s clear to all of us who gets this spear. Just show us its description.” Ern said.

“Are you sure…?” Alas looked at them.

“Of course, why not? You’re the only one who uses a spear, to us, it’s nothing more than a bag of money, but to you, it’s a weapon that can help you in battle. Go ahead, take it.” Wain raised an eyebrow.

“Okay… Thank you.” Alas said quietly.

He walked over to the coffin and took the spear in his hands. His veins swelled, and his eyes filled with blood, but everything was back to normal after a few seconds.

“Well… It’s a pretty dangerous weapon, but I can handle it.”

[Scarlet Punisher (Third Chronicle, Ascendant Rating)

This is an ancient weapon that belonged to a fierce warrior. In the midst of battle, it transformed into a scarlet demon and spilled rivers of blood. There is a piece of him left in this weapon, so it can give incredible power, but only if the new owner can resist this feeling.

*All stats are increased by 10%

*Control over the main attribute is greatly increased.

*A passive skill was created – ‘Rage’

-Rage

Depending on your emotions, you can enter a special state. It will be hard for you to control yourself, but you will become much stronger. All your stats will increase by 30%, and regeneration will become twice as high as the resistance to magic attacks]

“Honestly, this spear looks like it was made for Vampires.” Ern pondered.

“Yeah.” Wain nodded.

“It doesn’t matter.” Alas said, “I can definitely make the most of this spear’s potential. I’m sure of it.”

“Great.” Wain muttered as he approached the altar, “Then we should get out of here.”

Wain carefully plucked the flower, so he fulfilled one of Sven’s requests.

‘All that’s left is to deal with the Purple Carnation’ officer, and I’ll pay Sven off.’ Wain said to himself.
