Nameless King

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The ground trembled as the ball of flesh emitted eerie energy waves that caused some monsters to move forward. Their eyes with vertical pupils stared at Wain as though at the main enemy while their jaws viciously closed.

“Hah, you think you can scare me with that?” Wain smirked as Gladius appeared in his hand, “You may be a little stronger than those underdogs, but that just means I don’t have to be as careful with you!” 𝒷𝓭ℴ𝓋𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Whooooooosh.

Wain stepped forward as he found himself in front of one monster. The monster immediately attacked with its sharp claws, but suddenly the monster’s hands fell to the ground as a fountain of blood gushed from its wounds.

“Well, you’re a tough guy, aren’t you?” Wain uttered as he knocked the drops of blood off his sword blade, “Your arms will surely grow back, just like your legs.”

“Argh!” The monster cried out in pain as his legs flew off to the side.

Bam.

Wain, with a kick, tossed the monster’s body aside, looked at the others, and said, “Who’s next? I can keep doing this all day long. Still, this huge thing will create as many of you as it needs, right?”

Roooooooaaaaaarrrrrrr!

The monsters simultaneously roared as their jaws opened wide before attacking Wain from different sides.

“Fine. Zero, go ahead. Help Wain on the right side, I’ll take the left one.” Frigus said with a serious look as he turned into a blue flash.

“Yes!” Zero uttered before becoming a stream of darkness.

She appeared next to Wain and created a protective barrier that stopped the attack of the three monsters. At the same time, Frigus severed the legs of two ones, then he, with icy bayonets, pierced three more.

“Well, with this coordinated team, I won’t even get a small scratch.” Wain smiled with a careless look, then his eyes turned icy as his hand turned into a blur.

Crackling.

The three monsters in front of him appeared with deep cuts all over his body, from which powerful streams of blood gushed out that stained Wain’s face and coat. The monsters tried to attack back, but as soon as they took one step forward, they fell to the ground with heavy, intermittent breathing.

“Good boys.” Wain stepped forward as he touched the shoulder of one of the monsters.

Gradually, they moved forward. The monsters were in the Fourth Chronicle, but they were nothing more than beginners, with no experience or tactics that simply followed commands from the flesh ball, so for Wain, Frigus, and Zero, it was nothing more than training.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Wain shook the dust off his hands while he looked at the dozens of monsters lying on the ground. They were all alive but unable to move because of the heavy wounds, the chains of darkness, or the ice that had bound them to the ground.

“Now it’s your turn. Freak.” Wain uttered with a menacing look as he stared at the flesh ball, “I don’t know how you got here, but even if it’s all about my energy, you don’t really want to obey me, so unlike the others, you will die!”

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

A powerful aura burst out of Wain that made the flesh ball shudder with fear as dozens of its eyes narrowed their pupils.

Roooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!

Suddenly all the jaws on the flesh ball opened wide as a piercing scream spread for miles around, then a shudder gradually intensified on the ground.

“What the hell…” Zero muttered with a dazed look while looking away.

In the distance, there were gray waves appeared that approached them, eerie roars coming from there, it was all hundreds of monsters.

“Damn. All of them became aggressive in an instant… I had hoped that this orb could only control the closest monsters, but it looked like I was wrong. What a pity.” Wain shook his head as streams of energy headed toward his gloves.

Wain spread his arms out to his sides as gray spheres appeared in front of his palms that contained a huge amount of energy, forcing the space next to them to distort.

“Boss, wait.” Frigus said as he stopped Wain just before he was about to launch the spheres.

“Hmm? What is it? There are too many of them. We can’t immobilize them all without getting wounded, I’m not going to put you at risk for them.” Wain asked with a confused look.

“Boss, you’ve gotten a lot stronger since your last visit, that’s true, but I’m not standing still, so give me a chance to show what I’ve accomplished.” Frigus spoke in a serious voice while gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

Wain looked at Frigus, at the monsters, then shrugged and said, “All right. Do as you see fit.”

“Hey… Are you sure…?” Zero muttered with an awkward look.

“Thank you.” Frigus nodded before letting go of the sword from his hands.

Blue energy departed from Frigus as his sword glowed and soared through the air, then Frigus’ eyes flashed, and the sword flew high up as if a satellite over the battlefield.

‘Hmm…? What is Frigus going to do…?’ Wain inwardly muttered in a thoughtful manner.

Crackle.

Suddenly the sword began to increase in size as it became a hundred times bigger in a few seconds, now it was like a weapon with which a giant could cut a mountain in two.

“You wretched souls… Freeze forever.” Frigus muttered as a thick layer of ice appeared on the sword from which shards began to fall off.

The shards of ice turned into dozens of small swords that slowly floated around the main one. When the last sword was created, Frgius waved his hand, and all of them collapsed on the monsters as though meteors.

When the swords came into contact with the monsters, they exploded with ice that turned them into frosty statues.

“Wow… This is so beautiful…” Zero muttered with a dazed look while looking at the blue lines on the sky that left glowing flashes.

When the last monster was frozen, Frigus stopped releasing energy, and the main sword returned to normal as it flew to Frigus’ hand.

“Done.” Frigus uttered with a calm look before returning the sword to its sheath.
