Nameless King

Chapter 1064 New Rules



Chapter 1064 New Rules

?

Sometimes battles ended very quickly, in just a few moments or a single attack, perhaps even an entire war could end in just an hour or a few right words.

However, more often than not, in such a case, the original goal never changed. If it was possible to get the desired result quickly, there was no point in thinking of other options or time to better understand what was going on.

Nitra and Liang were in no danger of such an outcome, as they had already reached a point in their long fight after which their relationship would no longer be the same.

Of course, Alucard had a significant impact on the decision Nitra would make, but he only helped her make sense of the situation. In the end, it was impossible for her to believe that her plan was wrong and there was another way. She didn't believe that there were situations that couldn't be calculated. 

"You want our fight to no longer be deadly... Well, I can agree to that." Liang smirked, "However, there is still a conflict between us that we must resolve."

Nitra frowned, "What exactly do you mean?"

"Look. I won't hide it, I've done a lot of bad things just like you. You took your instincts, so I'll do something for you and run the calculations, something you love so much." Liang calmly said while looking away.

Then, Liang stretched his hand forward, "First of all, I am offended that you followed me. Secondly, I am offended that you were about to declare war on my world. Third, I am offended that you tried to destroy one of the cities where thousands of my people lived! If it weren't for Alucard, you would have succeeded."

Nitra became wary. She no longer felt threatened by Liang. He was talking very differently now, but that only meant that their fight had moved to another level. Now, they had to agree to keep moving forward and Nitra was at a disadvantage.

It was the Constructs who had started it all, if they hadn't decided to take this risky move, then Liang would have just continued to fight Alucard. 

Now Nitra realized that this was more advantageous for them, but would it be more advantageous now? Were they still enemies or were things changing right now?

Nitra wanted to say something, she had to defend herself somehow, but Liang interrupted her, continuing his monologue.

"However, I am an honest man and I admit that I have also done things that you may hate me because of. First of all, I killed one Guardian. Second, I destroyed one of the cities. Third, I damaged your Tree." Liang said seriously.

Then, he sighed and, looking at his hand said, "That makes it 3-3, or a tie, right? If it's 3-3, then it's the same as 0 - 0, so there's no conflict, right?"

The math that Liang had done hardly suited Nitra, but she realized that in this case, it was a mere formality. All Liang wanted to accomplish was to talk out all the hard feelings and get rid of everything at once.

Nitra could have objected and continued the argument, but what was the point? They had already moved on, they had traveled an eternity in one fight, so there was no point in going back. It was too illogical and each of them realized it.

"Damn... How did it come to this..." Nitra smiled, with slight happiness in her eyes, "So... What now? Shall we shake hands and become friends? What plan is in your crazy head?"

Liang smirked, "Well, that's a possible option, and thinking Alucard would be pleased. Two more Progenitors besides Gael to fight with without holding back... Hah, those are literally his spots. Am I right?"

Liang looked at Alucard floating in the air. 

Alucard nodded, "Sure. Moreover, I think you should hurry up and finish all of this soon. I'm wondering what's going on at Gael's place. He left us quite some time ago and I think I know where he went."

At that moment everyone's eyes went wide, Nitra's, Liang's, and the keepers. They had all seen that Gael had been present at the very beginning, but they didn't remember the moment when he had separated from Alucard.

"Damn... Honestly, even I forgot about it..." Wain muttered with a dazed expression, "I don't know what's going on at Gael's place, but he definitely had a good reason to miss the battle of the two Progenitors."

"Well, we decided to see Alucard's memories first, so nothing is surprising about that." Sven nodded.

Liang and Nitra glanced over, and the rest of them were surprised. Gael was one of the Progenitors and also carried a rather serious Title that could rival even Liang's.

"Yeah, you're right... But I don't think it's right to end it that way. Handshaking is too boring, and it's not my style at all." Liang scratched the back of his head.

Nitra tilted her head, "Hm? If you want we can sign a document or treaty. There are other ways to make a truce and get each side of the conflict to fulfill certain conditions."

"Hey, don't you see what I mean?" Liang glanced at Nitra.

Nitra was puzzled, she didn't really know what Liang wanted, since she had offered him all the most suitable options to close the conflict that she knew.

"You offered a non-lethal fight, but not to end it, so we will continue and fight until one of us can't stand on our feet! The reason is simple, this is what the strongest do, this is what I, The Strongest One, do!" Liang exclaimed, with a confident expression before rushing forward.

His steps were powerful, but he intentionally moved not very fast so that Nitra would have some time to recover. She was ready for their fight to be over, so it was something of a surprise to her.

Whooooooooooosh.

After a few seconds, they collided, as from Liang's sword and Nitra's spear, powerful shockwaves were emitted causing the ash in Zero Area to fluctuate. 

"Come on! Now we can stop holding back, waiting for the right moment to use our trump cards!" Liang exclaimed before swiftly swinging his sword.

Nitra's pupils narrowed as she barely had time to block Liang's attack. The impact threw her dozens of meters back, but she easily got to her feet.

Liang pointed his sword at her, "Let's be honest. The 50% you're using, it's not enough to defeat me! Moreover, use your the Form! You won't have another opportunity like this soon to use all your strength!"

Nitra was silent for a while. 

Then she nodded, "Fine, I agree with you. If we are allies now, the Constructs won't be fighting on the Arkans' side in the Great War. So most of my time will be spent experimenting on the territories of friendly races..."

"Hey!" Alucard exclaimed, "Don't forget. That you can always fight one of us! Especially me! Although... You absolutely can't win, and that's not even my fault."

"Hah, in a battle with you, the result will always be the same." Nitra smirked, closed her eyes, then her sharp gaze headed towards Liang, "I will show you my full power. However, I won't be able to withstand such pressure for long, so the final stage of our fight will be short."

Liang shrugged, "Sure. I understand that it's difficult to contain such a huge force. Even at 50%, your body has taken some damage, I don't want you to die so foolishly after all we've been through this day."

"However, I have one condition!" Nitra exclaimed sternly, swinging her spear.

"Hm?" Liang raised an eyebrow, giving her a questioning look, "I'm listening to you."

"I'm using 100% as well as my Form, that's all the trump cards I have! In fact, I too am curious about what will happen and what I can accomplish, but you have to do it too!" Nitra looked at Liang intently.

Liang tilted his head, "Oh, I see... Do you want me to use my Form too? Fine, but you go first, ladies first."

"Hah, don't regret it!" Nitra smirked, then her hair surged upwards, with powerful streams of darkness and lightning spreading around like chaotic whirlwinds.

There were cracks in Nitra's body, and a bright light came out of them as if there was a star inside her, however, her body was strong enough to withstand this pressure for about ten minutes.

Then, after increasing her strength to 100% she used her Form. Two long dragons composed of pure black lightning energy appeared behind her. They swirled around her like faithful protectors.

Each dragon could easily deal with a God Stage opponent, but Nitra was using them now to strengthen herself.

"Not bad." Liang nodded satisfactorily.

"Now you! I'm waiting!" Nitra pointed her spear at Liang.

However, Liang didn't bother to do anything.

"Hey, can you hear me?" Nitra frowned.

Liang nodded, "Yeah. If you want to see my Form. Then you're going to have to make me do it!" Liang smirked deviously, which made Nitra angry. He had tricked her like a child!
