Nameless King

Keira slowly rose from the ground while her wound was still bleeding. Her pained look said everything about her situation, but the pain was less of a problem to Keira herself than the fear.

'Shit, I have to hurry. I don't know how much time has passed, but if I don't do something soon, he'll kill me right here. It will be the end for all of us...' Keira inwardly muttered as her ring glowed brightly.

A scarlet glass sphere appeared in her hand, which she immediately crushed. The red liquid, as if alive, headed towards her wound gradually healing it. Inside the orb was not exactly a potion, as each drop consisted of hundreds of little robots that filled Keira's body with power, giving it all its energy.

'I can't do that again, but now at least I won't die of blood loss, but... What will I do without my sword? That bastard broke it...' Keira shook her head with a devastated look before rising.

She immediately got into a fighting stance as she felt Frigus should have attacked her by now. However, instead of the expected attack, Keira stared wide-eyed at Frigus walking towards her.

"What the hell...? Why is he carrying my sword?" Keira muttered with a dazed look as a shiver went through her body. She thought Frigus was going to use her weapon against her.

"Looks like you came to your senses, it was quicker than I expected." Frigus said calmly as he stopped. He glanced at her sword and spoke, "You must understand that it won't happen again. The next time you receive such a serious wound, I will cut off your head at once."

Keira didn't understand what Frigus was talking about, it was too strange for her as if there was a completely different person in front of her.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

Frigus threw his sword at Keira. For a moment she was stunned as she couldn't believe what was happening.

"Why are you doing this?" Keira asked in disbelief.

"I just want our fight to be more interesting. It's my sincere wish." Frigus proclaimed with a calm voice, "You're capable of more, it's obvious, so now is the only opportunity to show it."

Keira gripped the hilt of her sword, which now had only a sharp blade, then her eyes flashed and electric shocks went throughout her body.

"Fine. If you were stupid enough to give me a second chance, I'll make sure you regret it as much as possible!" Keira exclaimed furiously, releasing her aura outward.

Purple streams of energy turned into a wide pillar reaching the heavens. Everyone in the Void could see it, no matter where they were. It was the full power of the Demigod Stage being in possession of its Void.

'Do you regret your decision yet?' Luna asked anxiously.

"Hmm? What are you talking about? This is exactly what I wanted." Frigus didn't notice a satisfied smirk appear on his face while there was a fire in his eyes, "Do you think if I can defeat her without using the Form, will I be able to pass on?

'What...? Don't even think about it!' Luna exclaimed in anger, 'You managed to land one good attack, but that's it for now! No matter how strong you are, you can't defeat an opponent on the Demigod Stage who used his Form if you don't return the favor.'

Frigus smiled bitterly, looked at his sword as if he wanted to see Luna, and muttered, "We shall see. This is the first time I feel there is a better way to get stronger besides training."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Space trembled as powerful shockwaves emanated from Keira. Electric shocks occasionally struck the sand, turning it into crystals of glass, while Keira's appearance gradually changed.

...

"Well, well, it looks like one of your leaders is already in a difficult situation, that's not good." Sarras smirked as he shook his head.

Red Wolf frowned. According to their plan, they should have already captured part of the Void to move toward the center gradually, but it didn't end up going according to plan.

'Damn, this is bad. Judging by the energy fluctuations, it's definitely Keira, moreover, she used her Form... Hmm, if she's fighting against the owner of this Void, that's even a good thing. In that case, Gaur will have the advantage.' Red Wolf pondered closely watching Sarras's actions.

In front of Sarras stood four skeleton knights in massive armor through which only their burning blue eyes like lights were visible.

"I don't know what your plan was or how the situation is progressing in other parts of the Void, but one thing I do know." Sarras smirked as he extended his arm, "You're not getting out of here alive."

Whoooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, the knights lunged forward as their swords simultaneously rained down on Red Wolf. Though they were skeletons, they were one of the strongest undead that Sarras could create.

"Pfff, do you really think four skeletons can overpower me?" Red Wolf snorted before beginning to spin in one place at breakneck speed.

His blades were covered in red flame as he became the epicenter of a fiery tornado. The knights tried to fight their way through it, but the tornado just tossed them aside.

"How interesting. Aren't you afraid that at one point your wool will start to burn because of your fire?" Sarras tilted his head with a thoughtful expression.

"Shut up. Fire is my main ally and with it I can easily burn your bones!" Red Wolf exclaimed as he stopped.

There were four blades left of the tornado that headed toward the Knights. They easily blocked the attacks with their swords out in front of them.

Booooooooooom.

Each of the blades exploded with fire as the swords collided and the Knights' armor turned red, it seemed that a little more of it could have melted.

"Hahaha, what are you counting on?" Sarras laughed, "They're undead, the high heat won't do them any harm, they can't even feel pain from such a weak attack."

To Sarras's mocking laughter, the Knights attacked again, clutching their red-hot swords around Red Wolf.
