Nameless King

"Hmm? What are you talking about? I don't understand you at all..." Felix muttered with an awkward look as he scratched his cheek.

"Oh, it will only be a small test, so I must also quench my interest. I hope you understand." Wain smirked, clenched his hand into a fist, and stuck it into Felix's stomach.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The impact created a shockwave that knocked Felix back several meters. His eyes went wide and with a pained face, his mouth opened wide.

Felix fell onto the invisible platform and struggled to his feet.

"What are you doing...? Did I insult you somehow...? Why did you do that?!" Felix exclaimed furiously, but there was no anger in his voice; it was a cry filled with resentment.

"I apologize in advance, but it seems my actions have already had an effect. We must continue." Wain pointed at Felix, or rather at the darkness that appeared behind him.

The darkness enveloped Felix from behind as it split into two streams that, like hands, covered his chest. Felix immediately felt better as his eyes sparkled, then he was gone.

Whooooooooooosh.

Felix appeared behind Wain, he didn't stride, he didn't jump or rushed forward, it was as if he teleported away as it happened even faster than an instant later.

Wain realized it too late, so Felix's fist came down on his back with all the power he was capable of.

"Hah, not a bad punch, but you certainly don't have enough power to make me at least frown." Wain smirked as he turned his head.

Felix was on the Absolute Stage, so it was almost impossible for him to hurt Wain, especially with his bare hands, his body was just too strong.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly a thread of darkness ran down Felix's arm, through his fist with a powerful pulse.

Wain's eyes went wide as in the next moment, he experienced more powerful pressure and was thrown aside by the blast of darkness.

Wain rolled over the invisible platform, time after time until he stopped as his aura became several times weaker.

'What...? I'm sure that even if Frigus had struck at full power, Wain would not have taken such damage. Felix can't be that strong, that's for sure, I couldn't be wrong.' Reto muttered inwardly in disbelief, looking at Wain lying on the ground.

His black coat was torn apart by the powerful explosion and tried to gradually recover, getting energy from Wain's body, but it was very slow.

It was also taking energy to speed up the regeneration of the horrible, lacerated wound on Wain's back, it looked as if a bomb capable of destroying a mountain had exploded under his skin.

'Hey... Why isn't he getting up? Was this attack that strong?' Reto shuddered.

Just as he began to worry, Wain's fingers began to move and he slowly rose to his feet.

"Damn, the last time I was in this much pain was when I fought Virion, that was a glorious battle." Wain shook his head, and stretched his shoulder twisting it back and forth, then he turned his back, showing Felix the result of his work.

"What did I do...?" Felix's eyes went wide as he looked at his hands.

Wain's wound was healing quickly, but it was still bleeding, though he was a Nameless King, his regeneration was not as fast as that of the Vampires.

"Yeah, that's the consequence of your punch, however, it wasn't just your power that was involved." Wain smirked and turned to Felix, "You didn't even use your attribute, I mean you hit with your bare fist without energy, such an attack is like a mosquito bite to me, but you were helped by this darkness."

Wain waved his arms, pointing to the vast space around him.

"Darkness... Can darkness hurt you?" Reto was surprised; he and the others knew that Wain's primary attribute was darkness, perhaps he was the strongest possessor of that attribute.

"Using darkness against you is like trying to put out a volcano with lava!" Reto exclaimed.

"Hahaha, that's true." Wain laughed in excitement, "That's why I like it so much! The darkness that helps you, the darkness that fills open space can hurt even me! It just means that this power is different from all the others and you can partially use it!"

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Wain rushed forward, appearing in front of Felix. His fist came down on Felix with tremendous speed, almost touching his hair.

Felix blinked as he disappeared and Wain's fist hit the void. Felix appeared behind Wain, a few feet away from him.

"Wait, I don't want to fight you! The first time I just lost my temper, I was controlled by emotion! What's more, I don't even know what's going on!" Felix said worriedly waving his hands in front of him.

"Don't be a fool, as long as we have the opportunity we should take advantage of it. Just look at you, you move even faster than I do! Is something like that normally possible?" Wain said as he smirked.

"Felix, I'm not mad at you or anything, everything I said before was true and remains so. Now, the important thing is different, this darkness is helping you, so try to figure out exactly what caused it and how to get stronger with it!"

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Wain let out his aura as space trembled. Black streams emanated from it, among which were eerie jaws, they swam in the darkness as if in a dark river.

Felix gulped, unlike Frigus or Nicole, he was not a fan of fighting. He preferred to stealthily and quietly get his own and walk away, he didn't like direct confrontation at all, especially against such a dangerous opponent.

'Argh, all right! I'll do it! If the Nameless King himself says it's really unique then so it is!' Felix inwardly exclaimed as he stepped forward, or rather not quite.

'What...? Why am I not moving...? Felix muttered to himself as he looked at his legs, trembling with fear.

'Am I afraid...? Hah, of course... how can I fight against him...? Felix thought with a bitter smile.

'Don't... be afraid...' Suddenly there was a ringing voice in his head that made his long white hair soar upward.
