Nameless King

"What are you talking about?" Keira frowned, not understanding who Frigus was addressing.

"Shut up... This whole thing is starting to annoy me already. If you want this fight to end then go ahead and attack me, I'm ready to take any attack you make." Frigus nonchalantly replied as he swung his sword.

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Out of the blade flew an icy blade that headed toward Keira at great speed. She didn't dodge, she just reached forward and a purple lightning bolt struck the blade, destroying it completely.

'Damn... Looks like my energy has run out already, I couldn't even finish creating it, though it would have been weak anyway.' Frigus inwardly muttered looking at the shards of ice on the ground.

'I don't know what you're thinking, but my patience has come to an end. If you want to die because of your pride and won't even take the chance to fight a real fight, then I'll do it. It's your choice." Keira said coldly as she stepped forward.

She headed toward Frigus, in no hurry at all to do what she was talking about, but her gaze was completely serious since her trident blades were electrified.

"Hah, another thing." Frigus smirked.

'Frigus!' Luna exclaimed with all her might, 'Damn it! At this rate, you're actually going to die! If you want to use your Form, then at least use my energy! You're hurt! There's no way you can beat her with physical strength alone!'

Frigus heard her every word, for she did not really need to shout, all her thoughts went straight to Frigus's head.

'Luna... I'm not going to do any of what you said. I've already made up my mind.' Frigus said confidently, clutching the hilt of his sword tightly, 'Today, right now, I will defeat an opponent far stronger than me and step forward. You, or my Form, will make it as easy for me as it will take away my chance to advance.'

Whooooooooooooooooosh.

Keira appeared in front of Frigus as her trident swung toward Frigus. His pupils narrowed as he took a last-minute step to the side, dodging the attack.

"Pfff, that's not all!" Keira exclaimed, bringing the trident crashing to the ground.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The collision between the trident and the ice caused several powerful electric shocks that threw Frigus back several meters. He put a block in front of him to prevent them from damaging him, but because of that, he weakened his defenses from other directions.

"That was reckless and too presumptuous." Keira whispered as she appeared behind Frigus like a ghost.

Frigus flinched. He turned around quickly, trying to attack before Keira did, but just as he turned around, her fist was already embedded in his stomach.

Frigus's face twisted in pain as a flood of blood gushed from his mouth as the impact tossed him aside.

Crackling.

Keira stepped forward, breaking the ice in front of her. She put her trident in front of her, bent her body forward, and rushed straight ahead.

Her gaze was fixed on Frigus, who was trying to recover from the powerful blow that knocked him out of the fight for a while.

'Fine... This is how it ends. That's not bad at all.' Keira muttered as the blades of the trident touched Frigus, piercing through him.

'NO!!!!' Luna exclaimed desperately as she directed her entire aura outward, trying to do something. The runes on the long sword glowed brightly, showing her intentions.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Streams of scarlet blood trickled from the corners of Frigus's mouth, droplets falling down, smashing on the ice or the trident's blades.

Frigus's gaze grew progressively darker, emptying as he lost much strength. It was almost impossible to recover from such a wound, given his current state.

Before his consciousness should have completely blurred, Frigus saw something incredible as a simple crystal snowflake flew past him.

'What...? What is it...?' Frigus muttered inwardly as he watched the snowflake leave a tiny cut on Keira's palm before disappearing.

Keira didn't even notice it, since such a small wound healed almost instantly. Then, her whole mind was focused only on Frigus and the fact that she had won.

"I don't know what you were thinking, but you deserve to lose." Keira said calmly as she pulled Frigus's trident from her body.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Electric shocks headed for her hand, turning her palm into a deadly weapon.

"I'll meet you in hell, you arrogant swordsman." Keira swung her hand, creating an electric torch, heading for Frigus, who already seemed to be struggling to stand on his feet and was nearly unconscious.

Whoooooooooooosh.

A white flash with a metallic sheen swept between them, causing Keira's eyes to go wide.

'What...? What's going on...?' Keira said inwardly, staring at her severed arm, flying aside while drops of blood sprinkled her face.

At the same moment, amidst Frigus's exhausted look, there was something new, a strange gleam in his eyes whose depth was impossible to determine.

'How ironic that only now did I realize it... Ice and sharpness... What's the point of relying on energy when even an ordinary snowflake can leave a cut...? If a tiny snowflake can do that, then what can I do with all my power...?' Frigus sighed to himself with a deep look.

Crackling.

Frigus gripped the sword tightly with both hands, raising it above his head and about to bring it down.

"Farewell. Thanks to our fight, I've finally found what I've been looking for for so long. As a reward, you will be the first to see an attack from the new me." Frigus spoke, majestically and calmly as his cold tone made Keira shudder with fear.

She cast aside all thoughts of saving her arm and tried to put up a defense, but it was too late as Frigus lowered his sword.

The tip of the sword touched the ground, and all the runes on it flashed as brightly as ever. At the same moment, a vertical streak appeared on Keira's body as well as on the ground behind her, hundreds of meters long.
