Nameless King

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The top of the shining tree shone brightly as a flash of light appeared, blinding everyone within a radius of tens of kilometers. The monsters beneath the tree, covered their heads with their massive paws, fearing the consequences while others created protective barriers on the hills and cliffs in front of them.

A moment later, the energy from the two spheres burst forth as a deafening explosion erupted. Waves of Chaos flame and electrical discharges exploded outward, destroying everything around them. The top of the Shining Tree was almost completely destroyed, as only a few walls remained intact that were fortified by Gael's ashy threads.

The hills around the Shining Tree were severely damaged as lightning left massive craters on them. The trees in the forest were first completely burned by the flames of chaos, then they were strangely changed as their leaves changed color and unusual fruits grew on some of them as the power of chaos completely transformed them.

Wain and Virion were at the epicenter of the explosion, so they took the most damage. Lightning was the main threat to Wain, but the flames of chaos during the explosion were uncontrollable, so it did some damage to him too.

'Fuck! This is bad!' Virion inwardly exclaimed feeling more and more wounds appearing in his body every moment.

Chaos's energy quickly tore his flaming armor apart as the energy pulse threw Virion to the other side of the arena. Chaos inflicted terrible damage on him and it would have gone on forever if a new wave of white flame hadn't saved Virion from critical damage. His mantle was destroyed and only a few wisps of blood-stained remained of it.

"ARGH!!!" Virion vomited a mouthful of blood as waves of pain went through his entire body, but regardless, he continued to breathe calmly as none of his wounds were fatal.

Wain directed all the chaos energy at Virion, trying to do as much damage as he could, so only Ether could protect him from the lightning.

The blue flames tried to destroy the lightning as before, but there were too many of them as their energy was on a completely different level. Virion realized that Wain had bet everything he had on this attack before he used the trump card, so he did the same.

'No! These lightning bolts will tear me apart! I mustn't let that happen!' Wain inwardly exclaimed as he tried to create more Ether, but it wouldn't appear, all he was capable of was a few blue lights, very small.

Wain's pupils narrowed as he directed the energy to his chest, thus trying to somehow reduce the future damage that was now absolutely inevitable.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

All the flame ether was spent as the lightning rained down on Wain's armor. It absorbed several lightning bolts, then cracks began to appear on the armor until it was completely destroyed as well as the boots.

Bam.

The shockwave pushed Wain to the other end of the arena as the remaining lightning bolts rained down on him as if trying to finish him off while they had the chance. Wain could not defend himself, so the number of his wounds was increasing with each passing moment.

Finally, Wain and Virion were seriously wounded as they got as far away from each other as possible. They both breathed, but Virion felt much better since there was even less blood beside him.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The barrier holding the monster back was also badly damaged as it slowly began to crumble, but Virion with a wave of his hand stopped it. He couldn't restore the barrier, but now Wain couldn't just run up to the monster and get a shard.

The monster was protected by the barrier, so neither chaos energy nor white flame harmed it, however, the shockwave from the explosion was so powerful that it practically broke all bones of the monster, so it just lay motionless on the ground trying to heal its wounds faster.

Crackle.

Virion waved his hand, tossing aside the debris, and slowly rose with a painful expression. He reached up and looked around, looking out over the landscape from the very top of the shining tree.

There were many stares directed at him, but they didn't matter at the time. Virion knew that no one would interfere with their fight, at least not until they were finished.

Whoooooooosh.

On one of the hills, the bloody dome disappeared as Alucard showed up with an excited smile on his face

"Well, well, it didn't exactly happen the way I thought it would, but that only makes it more interesting." Alucard said with a devious smirk as his gaze drifted to Wain, "He's at death's door... I wonder what he'll do to survive?"

"Hmm...? Hasn't Wain already won?" Gael muttered while rubbing his chin with a confused look, "I mean... This guy used his Form already, so while he didn't take as much damage, he doesn't have any more trumps left."

"Hah, you shouldn't underestimate him. Come on, Gael, you of all people should realize that a man who has such a calm look in a situation like this is definitely ready for anything."  Alucard said as a smirk appeared on his face and his gaze went to Virion, literally piercing him.

Virion noticed this but did not react in any way, though Alucard's gaze could frighten even a creature on the God Stage.

'Vampire Progenitor, right? The only Immortal, and unlike stories about such people, he enjoys his life and doesn't try to find a way to die at all.' Virion inwardly muttered a slight smile on his face, 'Well, I'm lucky to have him here. Though he was an ally of the Nameless King in the Great War, it has nothing to do with his heir. Alucard, will not allow anyone to interfere until the end of the battle, whatever the outcome, that's for certain.'

Virion nodded slightly as his ring glowed brightly. He was calm and completely satisfied with the outcome, but his wounds were still bleeding, so he needed to heal them somehow.
