Nameless King

Chapter 516 The Light At The End Of The Path

Kadridas' strength was greater than they had anticipated, as even a special artifact could only hold him for a short period of time. The chains completely blocked his energy flows, that was a real achievement considering the amount of energy the Dragons had, but the Dragons were strong in every aspect.

Crackle. Crackle. Crack.

Space was crumbling because of the pressure that came from Kadridas, so with each passing second, the power of the chains weakened.

"Maece! Let's get the fuck out of here! Hurry up and kill that guy, or that monster won't leave a trace of us!" Purplehead shouted in a worried voice while trembling in fear.

"Shit! Okay, I got you. Give me ten seconds!" Maece said as a dagger appeared in her hand before approaching Wain.

She bent down and looked into Wain's already almost empty eyes. He saw only a blurry image of her, but her sly, wicked smirk was clear.

"Unfortunately, you and I don't have much time left, but it's enough so I can avenge my sister." Maece uttered with a hateful look as she raised the dagger above Wain's head.

"NO!" Erza shouted, but she didn't have the strength even to stand up, so all she could do was watch Wain's death.

The dagger was closing in on him swiftly. Everything inside Wain's mind screamed for escape, but he was already one foot in the grave, and Maece only forced the inevitable.

However, one place was quiet even in this situation-the dark castle inside Wain's Soul Altar. The five forms held their breath as if this were a critical moment on that all depended.

The blade almost reached Wain as his pupils narrowed, and the world suddenly stopped. Maece's blurry face was replaced by pitch blackness.

? 'Am I dead...? Wain muttered while in confusion.

Wain turned around as he tried to understand what was happening, but there was nothing but darkness that slowly enveloped him like a veil.

'Death? Does someone who has already escaped it once have to think such nonsense?' Suddenly someone's voice rang out.

'What? Who is it?' Wain turned around with a puzzled look.

'I've never understood why people are so afraid of death. You can just run away from it, isn't that easy?' The voice said.

'Actually, I've been waiting for you, though I didn't think you'd be on the border between life and death, so we're both lucky.'

Whooooooooosh.

Suddenly a beam of light appeared amidst the darkness that, in an instant, reached Wain and passed through him, then the darkness around him began to dissipate as it slowly revealed the true view of the world.

The dagger's tip had already plunged into his forehead as a drop dripped from the wound, but at that moment, Wain's eyes flashed, and he disappeared. So instead of Wain's head, Maece pierced the ground.

'What?!' Maece inwardly exclaimed as everyone's gazes went to Wain.

"Ahahahahaha, I definitely didn't come here for nothing." Kadridas exclaimed before ripping one chain to pieces, "Since it turned out this way, I'll be a spectator and not a fighter."

"Wain..." Erza muttered in a dazed voice while in disbelief.

Wain stood aloof in the distance with an enigmatic look. His body was covered by a layer of light that slowly faded.

[You found Running Light]

[You have opened the sixth form - Light Racer]

[Light Racer

For many people, speed was the meaning of life, so millions of people tried to become the fastest so that no one could catch up with them.

One day one person managed to do what others had never dreamed of. That one was able to outrun death itself and survive. On that day, the fastest creature in the universe was born].

Whoooooooosh.

The veil of light dispersed, and everyone saw Wain's new appearance. His hair was shoulder-length and shone brightly with a faint golden glow, his eyes were amber, and he was wearing white, light armor with pulsing yellow lines. There was no trace of his wounds, Wain looked as if he'd been born again.

Wain sighed as he looked at Maece with a serene look and said, "You're strong, so you decided to break in here to kill my mates and me. You were sure you could do it and get away with it since you're incredibly fast, but let me show you what real speed is. Do you think lightning is fast? Then feel the speed of light!"

Whooooooooosh.

Wain's eyes sparkled as he turned into a golden flash. He instantly reached Maece and swept with her hundreds of meters forward.

Maece didn't even have time to realize anything, to her, it looked like she blinked, but when she opened her eyes, the massive coliseum was the size of grain as it was too far away.

"That's not all!" Wain exclaimed with a cold look and grabbed Maece by the throat.

Wain became even faster, and his direction became chaotic. He abruptly changed direction as a line of light gradually appeared in the sky in the form of a zigzag that was trailing away from him.

Whoooooosh.

Wain pierced through the clouds and a second later was next to the coliseum. While he clenched his teeth, the space next to him distorted. Because of his tremendous speed, Wain broke through the spatial barrier and out of the Royal Spirit zone as he entered the island territory.

"Look!"

"What is that?!"

"Is that some kind of rare Spirit?"

The eyes of hundreds of people stared at the golden flash in the sky, which suddenly changed direction and, in a second, pierced the island from different directions several times as it shook the land.

In time, Wain's speed reached a critical point, so he flew out of the Forgotten Forest and began to pierce one space after another.

That day a golden flash shook the whole world. Wain did not hold back since he passed through hundreds of different zones and spaces in a matter of seconds.

It caught the attention of many, but one was shaken more than the others.

'That aura... That light... That's him!'
