Nameless King

"Your buddy is losing. Don't you want to help him?" Osvald grinned.

"There's no need for that. Even if Lin loses, he still won't let your friend stay alive." Hunter Leader uttered and pointed at Osvald.

The aura emanating from his body turned into a multitude of blades, and they came down on Osvald like arrows.

"Huh, do you really think some toothpicks can hurt me?" Osvald turned around and swung his leg. White energy turned into the silhouette of a dragon's tail and destroyed the blades.

"No, of course not. I just thought I'd make sure of your strength." Hunter Leader muttered, "After all, it was you who caused one of the roots to be destroyed, wasn't it?"

"Yes..." Osvald smiled, "But, it wasn't me who killed the Queen you were siphoning energy from."

"What?"

"Surprised? One day this guy will surpass me. I'm sure of it." Osvald looked at Wain, "Okay, I got distracted, time to wrap it up. You have no idea how much I miss my home."

"And wouldn't dream of it, you're staying here! Forever!" Hunter Leader said menacingly, and an iron gauntlet appeared on his right arm, completely covering it.

Various symbols appeared on the gauntlet, and in his hand, a long, massive sword was formed from pieces of metal.

Hunter Leader instantly attacked and attacked from top to bottom.

Osvald decided to block this attack, but to his surprise, the sword easily cut through the layer of energy around his arm and almost got to him. Osvald quickly bounced to the side, and the sword plunged to the ground. There were many cracks from the point of impact as if an earthquake had struck there.

'I see... Not only is his sword extremely sharp, but it's also very heavy. If he gets his hands on me, he'll either chop off my arm or break all my bones and turn them into powder.' Osvald pondered and took a deep breath.

The Hunter Leader knew what Osvald was about to do, and the gauntlet symbols glowed again. The sword turned into a massive tower shield, and when the dragon's breath hit it, Hunter Leader held the shield out in front of him.

The white flames heated the shield, but they couldn't melt it, and Hunter Leader was unharmed.

"Not bad, but is all you can do is defend yourself?"

"No, that's just the beginning." Hunter Leader muttered, and the shield began to change. It transformed into a large bow with a thin bowstring.

Arrows appeared in the air, and Hunter Leader instantly fired several times. Since he created the arrows, he could control them as homing missiles.

Osvald's palms became coated with energy, and he slammed down sharply. A shockwave was created that knocked the arrows aside. Osvald then approached Hunter Leader and struck several powerful blows, but Leader again turned his weapon into a shield, and none of the attacks could penetrate it.

"Scram!" Hunter Leader exclaimed, and spikes flew out of the shield.

Osvald's eyes went wide, and he stepped back a few yards.

'Well... this isn't going to be as easy as I expected. The energy from the Soul Pearls made it unnaturally strong.'

Osvald punched at full force. Each of his blows could have killed the lizard and turned it into a pellet, but not even a crack appeared on the shield.

...

Crackle.

The ground next to Wain began to turn to ice and rapidly approached Lin.

Lin did not act hastily. He decided to finish it all in one mighty blow and prepared for it. He bent down slightly, closed his eyes, returned his katana to its sheath, and gripped the hilt tightly.

When the ice almost reached him, Lin took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

Whooooooosh.

He turned into blue lightning and instantly reached Wain's. Lin lunged with his katana, and the blade reached Wain's hand, but suddenly part of the weapon disappeared somewhere.

"Gotcha." Wain smiled, and Lin's eyes went wide.

Wain's hand was covered in gray energy, and in the palm of his hand was a wide-open jaw that swallowed part of the katana.

Lin quickly jumped aside, but he could not save his weapon. Half of the katana was lost forever.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what that tasted like, but I can feel your frustration and fear perfectly." Wain smirked and canceled the second form and Beyond.

A gray robe and a tight eye patch appeared on him.

Goosebumps ran down Lin's body; he sensed a deadly threat from Wain and decided to get rid of him.

Lin instantly attacked, but Wain was ready for him. He swung his arm, and the space next to Lin distorted.

Wain wanted to lock Lin into a spatial cube, but Lin managed to get away at the last moment and attacked him from behind.

'Damn, he's so annoying.'

Whooooooosh.

Wain put his palms together and turned around. He uncrossed his arms, created an energy shield, and blocked Lin's attack.

"Okay, time to call it a day." Wain smirked, and a huge amount of energy burst out of him.

More than ten magical circles appeared above Lin, and deadly beams rained down on him. He turned into a flash and retreated, but Wain did not stop creating magic circles. He attacked and expended as much energy as he wanted.

'Ahahahaha, what a wonderful feeling that is.' Wain inwardly exclaimed and clenched his two hands into a fist.

Two spatial cubes appeared next to Lin, and he was squeezed between them as if between a vice.

Wain's eyes began to bleed, but he didn't stop.

"No!!!" Lin screamed in pain, his flesh tearing apart and his bones breaking.

"Die!" Wain slammed his fists into each other, and the two cubes crushed Lin turning him into a bloody mess.

"Agh, agh, agh." Wain was breathing heavily. He had put a lot of strain on his body and needed to rest and gain strength.

"I'm done." Wain muttered and fell to the ground. The ring glowed, and he swallowed some pills.
