Nameless King

Whoooooooooosh

Wain appeared in front of Felix who was puzzled by the strange voice in his head. Wain's fist rushed straight into Felix's face at great speed, almost reaching him.

'No! I mustn't get hit by that punch!' Felix internally exclaimed, and as if answering his call, the darkness made him disappear.

Felix appeared behind Wain, who had not yet realized what had happened. Felix's arms were covered in thick darkness, making them move straight toward Wain's wounded back.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Felix's palms touched Wain's bloody wound, again letting a pulse of darkness through them that came out with a powerful blast.

"ARGH!!!" Wain cried out in pain as his eyes went wide. Wain fell to the side, rolling over the ground and spitting clots of blood that came out of his mouth.

"No way... I did it again... I wounded the Nameless King himself again! This is incredible!" Felix exclaimed joyfully as he clenched his fists several times, unable to believe what had happened.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! That's so hot!" Wain exclaimed touching his back to somehow lessen the glaring pain. His previous wound hadn't healed yet, and he'd gotten another one in the same spot, so he felt worse than ever.

Wain flailed his arms creating a layer of darkness on his back, but it only helped slightly as streams of blood continued to flow from the wound, descending to the ground along the tips of his coat.

'Can you hear me...? A ringing voice rang in Felix's head again, a voice that didn't sound human at all, though it tried very hard to be.

'Yeah... I can hear you clearly, but who are you...?' Felix asked in confusion as he looked around.

'Don't try to find me... for I am not there where you look... for I am everywhere...' The voice became quieter.

'Is the darkness talking to me from the open space?' Felix surmised causing him to get goosebumps, 'Wait... If Nameless King, no, Wain, hadn't attacked me this wouldn't have happened. Did he really know that this could happen?'

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Wain's aura intensified as he raised his hand up, directing streams of darkness along with his jaws at one point.

"Here we go. Looks like you've learned to use this power a little already, so we shouldn't stop there, right? Get ready, with this attack I'll get back at you for the pain I just had to endure." Wain grinned with an excited expression.

Whoooooooooooosh.

Streams of darkness formed a massive spear that was several times larger than Wain himself. The tip of the spear was a broad jaw with long, sharp teeth. From time to time the jaw would clench menacingly, letting out an echo.

Felix had already made two successful attacks, but as soon as he saw the spear, his fear of Wain returned.

'Shit... If he's serious, this spear will tear me apart! I'm definitely fucked this time!' Felix shouted to himself with a frightened expression.

'Don't be afraid... Maybe in the wide world, you have no chance against him... but here... here there are no limits for you... You can be strong almost to infinity...' The voice soothed Felix.

'Even if that's true... what am I supposed to do...?' Felix asked with a shiver running through his body.

'Just fight. You must find the strength not to be afraid and fight to the very end... Look at him...' The darkness turned Felix's head toward Reto.

Reto was trembling, it was obvious that he was frightened by Wain's power and Felix's strange abilities, however, his mind was not one with his body as there was a fire in his eyes and an excited smile on his face.

'He is afraid, but also enjoys your fight and how strong you both are... Keep fighting and you will achieve the same...' The voice said calmly as if it was obvious.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The spear trembled and on Wain's sweep, it headed toward Felix with great speed. Its jaw was wide open, about to devour Felix in one bite, which would have scared anyone, including him.

'Shit! It's coming! I must dodge!' Felix inwardly exclaimed as he took a step back, but did not move forward as he realized something, 'No... if I run now I'll do it next time... I'm much stronger now, I can fight even with it!'

Felix tilted his body forward and put his arms out in front of him as if he was going to catch a spear.

"What? Is he really going to do that...?" Even Wain couldn't believe that Felix dared to do something like that.

'Good job... it was the right choice...' The voice murmured as the darkness lurking behind Felix headed forward, down his arms.

Hundreds of threads of darkness covered Felix's palms, covering them with unusual gloves, then the spear was right in front of Felix.

Felix's pupils narrowed as he stepped forward and grabbed the spear by the hilt, not letting the tip, the jaw, catch itself.

Wain's energy tried to tear Felix's hands apart, but the gloves completely absorbed all the pressure, allowing him to move freely.

Felix struggled to stay on his feet as the spear sought to break free of his grip, but once he was firmly on his feet, the spear's attempts were nullified.

"I stopped his attack... I actually did it... Wait, that's not all I can do, I can do this as well." Felix muttered, then he abruptly turned around and threw his spear straight at Wain with all his might.

Wain's eyes went wide as it was the last thing he expected from Felix. Now, the jaw that should have swallowed Felix was headed straight for him.

This was the first time Wain had encountered something like this since Felix was the first to have darkness capable of fighting his.

"Hahaha, Felix, this is incredible! You're doing great, but I'm afraid I can't let you be so cocky anymore, or I'll lose respect for myself." Wain exclaimed with an excited look before taking a few steps forward and extending his arm forward.
