Nameless King

The spear flew at Wain, but he was not about to dodge his own attack. Now, he had to show Felix that even if the darkness from open space helped him, he was weaker, much weaker.

'Well, since it's come to this, I can afford to have a little fun. I think if I overdo it, this darkness will save him anyway, so I might not hold back.' Wain smirked as he channeled the energy into his palms, then he clapped once.

From his clap, came a shockwave that cleared everything around him, releasing the invisible, glass-like platform they were on.

"Shit!" Reto exclaimed, quickly creating a protective barrier in front of him so he wouldn't fly off to the side.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The shockwave made the spear tremble as it split into clots of darkness, quickly dissolving into the void, then the shockwave reached Felix.

He didn't have time to defend himself in any way and was much closer than Reto, so he took on the full force of Wain's attack.

Crack.

Trickles of blood flew from Felix's ears as his face twisted in pain with his eyes wide open. His head was in chaos with hundreds of ringing sounds as if his brain could explode at any moment.

'I'll fix it... don't stop...' The voice penetrated right into Felix's mind as several dark threads headed for his wounded ears.

Felix immediately felt better, the pain was no longer sharp and the terrible ringing was gone.

"Hey, don't get distracted, we're not done yet." Wain appeared in front of Felix with a clenched fist around which rings of darkness swirled.

Felix tried to put up a block, but it was too late, since Wain's fist slammed into his stomach, making Felix literally crouch.

Each of the rings, exploded in an explosion of darkness, leaving horrific wounds on Felix's body in multiple stages.

The impact should have thrown Felix backward, but Wain grabbed his shoulder on purpose so that wouldn't happen.

'No way... He's a monster... If I get another blow like that I'll just be torn apart!' Felix inwardly exclaimed, with a desperate expression on his face.

"Hah, that's not all." Wain smirked, throwing another punch.

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Suddenly, a whip from the darkness struck Wain's arm, forcing him to loosen his grip. At the same moment, invisible hands grabbed Felix by the shoulders, pulling him back.

"I see... Defeating you here is no easy task at all..." Wain muttered with a slight smirk as he looked down at his arm, which had a bloody whiplash wound on it.

"Thank you... If it weren't for you, I'd be dead now..." Felix said sincerely, breathing heavily and trying to come to his senses.

'Yeah... that sounds about right... He has no control over his power at all... though it's so much like him.' The voice spoke in a sad voice.

'What... Do you know Wain?' Felix was surprised.

'Not really... I know every creature that's ever been in open space or just in the passages between zones... However, he's one of the few who has such explosive energy...' The voice murmured.

Felix nodded; he didn't ask any more questions, as the situation was entirely inappropriate.

"Hey, Felix, stop being stupid." Wain smirked.

Felix was puzzled as his eyes went wide.

"This darkness helps you, that's good, but have you completely forgotten that you also have your own power? When you met Reto, I saw you create some water spheres, why don't you use your attribute? Go for it! Do it or I'll actually kill you!" Wain exclaimed with glowing eyes and it was unclear if he was serious or not.

"My attribute..." Felix whispered, "Right, how could I be so stupid? I've only used other people's power before, but now it's time to use my own as well!"

Whoooooooooooooooosh.

Several water spheres appeared next to Felix and headed toward Wain with great speed. They were fast and strong, but Wain just tossed them aside with a wave of his hand. The spheres exploded behind him, releasing hundreds of drops.

"Try again, that was some kind of joke, not an attack." Wain said sternly as his aura intensified.

Felix gulped as a chill ran down his back.

'Don't worry... together we can easily surprise him...' A voice said as thin hands emerged from the darkness under Felix's arms like a girl's.

At the same moment, Felix created several more spheres, however, this time there were several times more, and inside them was one more sphere, black.

'Well, it looks like I'm going to regret my words now.' Wain said inwardly as he prepared for battle.

Felix extended his arm forward and the spheres came crashing down on Wain like a hail of arrows. He tried to block them, but these spheres were much stronger and they didn't shatter in his palms like the previous ones.

"Shit!" Wain's eyes went wide as several spheres left bloody wounds on his hands, but that wasn't the worst part as after the attack, the spheres flew up and collapsed on him again.

'Let's do it again...' The voice guided Felix.

Felix nodded and snapped his fingers. He didn't have much of a reception, he was just intent on doing what he was thinking, the attack he wanted.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Next to Wain appeared three pillars of water over which black swords hovered. At Felix's will, their tips pointed at Wain, then the swords simultaneously launched at him.

'Damn... he's a hell of a quick learner... Hah, I can destroy those swords and spheres with ease, but maybe I should give him a chance to get some joy? I'm not a good teacher, but I do know that a successful attack over a strong enemy can bring the greatest pleasure.' Wain smirked and put his hands down.

Felix and Reto's eyes went wide as they didn't understand what Wain was doing, then, three swords pierced him.

...

Wain, Felix, and Reto didn't notice this as all their attention was on the other, but to their point in the open space, for some time now, three silhouettes with broad wings on their backs were headed.
