Nameless King

Chapter 1047 Seal

?

"Looks like Nitra is serious." Sven muttered, looking carefully at the electric sphere in the center of the vortex.

"Yeah, this isn't the end, but she has to hurt him with this attack. If she fails, things will get noticeably worse for her. I doubt she'll be able to stand up to him in any way afterward." Wain calmly said, "Liang realizes that too."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The space shook due to the power of the vortex and the trembling sphere, it seemed that in a few more seconds it would no longer be able to contain the destructive energy within it.

Nitra glanced at the vortex, then she nodded slightly, and her eyes sparkled. At the same moment, the sphere opened, unleashing a violent bolt of lightning whose power consisted of thousands of others.

The bursting of the sphere caused a deafening clap that was heard by almost every inhabitant of the Construct World, then all eyes were directed at the huge lightning bolt.

The target of such a devastating attack was a single person. However, Liang was not going to dodge or somehow block this attack, he had another idea.

"Not bad, but it's obviously not enough to change the course of the battle." Liang muttered in a deep voice, pointing his sword at the lightning bolt.

There were light streams of wind around his sword, but Liang didn't create them. They appeared naturally because of the tremendous energy that he had channeled through the sword blade. His weapon was not indestructible like Wain's or Nameless King's, so he had to share some of his energy with his partner.

Then, the lightning reached its target, striking Liang with all its power.

Nitra took a deep breath as she wiped the trickles of blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. Controlling so much lightning was difficult even for her.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

An empty space was formed between the lightning and Liang's sword tip. They fought against each other, trying to get closer to each other, but at the same time, they created a powerful pressure. Whoever could advance first would win this confrontation.

Liang nodded, "You actually put a lot of effort into creating such an attack, it's top class, but, I'm not going to give up my words."

Then, Liang took a step forward, slightly raising his sword. At the same moment, the lightning traveled along the sword blade. Electric discharges covered Liang's entire body, trying to harm him and gradually succeeding.

His skin cracked in some places, and soon the first wounds might appear, however, Liang was not going to let that happen.

He took a deep breath and swung his hand. Electric shocks traveled through his body, heading towards his hand, then lightning bolts appeared from his fingertips.

The lightning bolts tried to attack Liang again, that was their main target, but, they just couldn't change their direction and followed towards Liang's sword. Liang used his aura to create pressure on the lightning bolts, controlling their movements.

"What...? What the hell is he trying to do...?" Nitra muttered with her eyes wide open. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Instead of dodging, Liang intentionally ducked and put his body under pressure, all for the sake of infusing his sword with lightning energy.

Liang's sword trembled slightly, and it intensified, even his weapon couldn't withstand such power in itself for long, so Liang had to act as soon as possible.

"Good. This will be enough." Liang muttered before tearing upwards.

He ran his palm over the sword blade filling it with the power of the wind, then he hovered in the air, staring intently at the Tree.

The six Guardians didn't take part in the fight, they left it up to their leader, but that didn't mean they were inactive. 

Over the course of Nitra and Liang's fight, the Guardians had rebuilt most of the barrier and even installed a few new ones, specifically against sharp attacks like Liang's. The tree was critical to their race so they had to do everything to protect it.

Liang understood that, but a few barriers couldn't stop someone as strong as him.

"You can create a thousand barriers and keep rebuilding them. However, it won't change the final result anyway. It's all decided because it's my will." Liang majestically uttered before thrusting his sword forward.

From the tip of the sword came out all the energy that it absorbed along with the violent wind currents. In an instant, it turned into a new lightning bolt with perhaps more destructive power that unleashed Nitra on Liang.

Liang aimed straight at the core of the Tree, however, despite his best efforts, the lightning was unstable. It shook and abruptly changed its direction from time to time, so eventually the lightning headed towards one of the massive branches of the Tree.I think you should take a look at

"Tsk. What a shame." Liang frowned, dissatisfied with his result.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Lightning collided with the barriers, making them shake and easily shattering one layer after another. The barriers were powerful, but they were not prepared to withstand the reinforced attack of their Progenitor, another Progenitor. 

"Damn it, let's go! We must protect the tree!" One of the Guardians exclaimed, tearing forward. He was followed by the others.

They quickly created an energy shield in front of them, using their reserves right in front of where the lightning was about to strike.

"They are acting selflessly." Wain calmly said, "However, although they are among the strongest Constructs, they are still far from Liang's level. They should have just stepped aside and let the Tree take some, non-lethal damage."

Crackle.

The lightning destroyed all barriers, crashing down on the Guardians. They were ready to stop the lightning, they were sure they had enough power to do so. However, they had completely forgotten that part of this attack consisted of the wind that Liang controlled.

"Useless." Liang calmly said before swinging his hand.

At the same moment, the wind separated from the lightning, shattering the energy shield and throwing the guardians aside with a powerful stream. The wind left hundreds of tiny cuts on their bodies, from which blood gushed out.

"No!" Nitra exclaimed, stretching her arm forward, but it was already too late, she couldn't stop the lightning in any way.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The lightning struck the Tree with a powerful blast, shattering one of the massive branches. Though it was only part of the Tree, and its core was not affected in any way as well as the roots through which the energy traveled, it was a true catastrophe.

On this branch alone, there were thousands of fruits that would become enhanced Constructs in the future. In a few decades, they would be the basis of the military strength of their entire race and just now, they were destroyed.

The lightning discharges destroyed the fruits, tearing them apart while the wind cut the surviving pieces. Liang was serious until he quenched his wrath, he would not leave this world.

"You fucking monster! Why did you have to do that? I'm your opponent!" Nitra exclaimed furiously, clenching her fists tightly.

Liang slowly turned his head, giving her an arrogant look, as if she was barely worth him talking to her.

"You tried to destroy a city where far more people lived than the fruit on this branch. I still haven't achieved my goal. Today I will definitely destroy your Tree. You will forever remember not to anger someone who can destroy you at any moment." Liang narrowed his eyes, throwing a glance at Nitra.

Nitra was angry, she was ready to jump on Liang and attack him until she turned his face into a bloody mess. However, she quickly calmed down, taking a deep breath.

"Fine. I realize now that this is not a conflict or a war. This is a battle for the future of my people." Nitra nodded, then she put her palm to her chest, where the Guardians had their core.

However, unlike them, there was no core beneath her military uniform, instead, she had a mechanical seal in the form of chaotic discharges of thunder. In the center of the seal was a small crystal, similar to the ones that grew at the roots of the Tree, but much darker and dirtier.

Nitra took a deep breath, and a dark energy began to emanate from the crystal, it covered her like a black fog, leaving barely visible symbols on her body and uniform.

Then, black electrical discharges appeared next to Nitra. They rained down on the ground beside her, as if foreshadowing something important.

"I didn't think I'd have to do this until the Great War, but you forced me to. Mr. The Strongest One, you're going to lose today!" Nitra said confidently as the crystal in her chest sparkled. Some sort of object slowly began to emerge from the crystal, with a long handle and a sharp tip. 

"Oh... As far as I knew you fight with your bare hands. Was I wrong?" Liang raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

Nitra closed her eyes for a moment, then she reached out and tightly gripped the spear that had already completely left the crystal.

"Yeah, you are." Nitra said confidently.

The spear had a dark blue hilt, a black blade, and several strange mechanisms next to it. They looked both modern and ancient at the same time as if this weapon retained all the advantages of different eras.
