Nameless King

Chapter 617 Ice

Wain, in a careless manner, headed toward Lin while the tip of his sword pierced the ground as it instantly turned to ice.

"You have a pretty strong Form, your ash has protected you well since the last attack, I was intent on killing you." Wain spoke with a sly smile on his face.

Lin was silent while her eyes stared at different points as if she was trying to figure out what to do. She was incredibly talented, so facing such an opponent was really stressful for her.

'Fuck! When I use the Form, even my brother can't handle me! Why is Nameless so strong? Why am I running away?!' Lin exclaimed inwardly, biting her lip and waving her hand.

A large amount of ash came out of her mantle and turned into a massive avalanche. It collapsed on Wain as a vast shadow fell over him.

"Hey, aren't you a swordsman? Why are you acting like a mage?" Wain grinned as he pointed his sword at the avalanche, "Well, I can't blame you for that."

Whooooooooosh.

The runes on Ice Terror flashed brightly, and glaciers emerged from the ground that stopped the avalanche. The shockwave from the collision of the two forces dispersed with a powerful stream of wind for hundreds of meters around as particles of ash and ice covered the ground.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Wain asked as he changed his grip on his sword.

Wain bent down, sighed, and jumped high up. As though a shadow, he appeared before Lin and swung his sword with a cold look.

'Damn! I can't block this one!' Lin's eyes widened as she recoiled to the side.

Crackling.

The icy blade sliced down the ledge Lin was standing on, so a huge granite boulder tumbled down, causing a small shake.

"Shit! That Nameless fuckin' psycho! Somebody stop him!" One of the Twilight Embers exclaimed before running toward Wain's.

However, his journey was not long as Nina appeared behind him. Her bloodied palm, covered in dark lightning bolts, pierced the man's chest as she crushed his head with her foot.

"You miserable worm..." Nina muttered with a contemptuous look while she continued stomping on the man's corpse.

After a while, Nina stopped, sighed, and mouthed, "Phew... I need to calm down, I've gotten too worked up..."

'But... This is unbelievable. For the past few days, everyone in the Guild has been talking about Nameless fighting with us, he's a strong fighter, but I had no idea how much he is...' Nina muttered to herself.

Wain didn't stop for a second. He kept attacking Lin, and gradually the Granite Caverns around the base of Twilight Embers turned into a massive glacier. Wherever Wain appeared, everything froze, not even Lin's ashes could resist it.

...

"Hehehe, looks like your sister's going to end soon." Fosko smirked as he wiped the blood that dripped from the corners of his mouth.

Fosko had green light armor with ancient runes while various tattoos shone brightly on his body. He was wounded in many places, but his keen eyes showed that he could still fight and were dangerous.

"Tsk. You better shut up." Kane uttered with a furious look, "Once I'm done with you, there's nothing stopping me from helping her. Nameless, not almighty."

"Well, try if you can." Fosko smirked as he tossed the daggers aside as though they were useless trash.

Fosko put his hand on the ground, gritted his teeth like a wild animal, and filled his eyes with blood. Now he looked more like a wild beast than a man.

...

"Is that really all you can do?" Wain asked as he swung his sword.

Lin covered her mantle as the impact threw her down with tremendous force, so she was pressed to the ground.

'Fuck! I have practically no energy left! This... This is my last chance!' Lin internally uttered as she rose despite the pain.

All the ash from her robe rushed to her sword, that turned into white energy, gradually increasing the strength of the weapon.

"Oh, decided to put all her power into one attack?" Wain raised an eyebrow, "Okay, I like that. I'll do the same, try not to die as this will be my strongest attack!"

Wain gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, sighed, and directed energy from the runes to the blade. Normally ice was solid, but the steam floating around the sword was much colder as even the air around it froze.

Lin's hands shook because she could feel how deadly Wain's energy was, but she couldn't back down, or it would be her greatest shame.

"You don't give up until the very end, right? Good, that's the great fighting spirit. To die for!" Wain exclaimed before attacking.

Two blades, one icy, the other ashy, rushed toward each other with power that shook the space. All eyes were on Wain and Lin as the outcome of the battle, as their lives literally depended on this collision.

"What is this...?" Nina muttered with a dazed look.

Crackle.

A spark appeared high above, then a pillar of purple thunder came crashing down between Wain and Lin.

It was a devastating attack that destroyed the ice and ash as the shockwave tossed Lin aside.

"What the hell... What are you doing here?!" Skyla shouted with an angry look as she stared upward.

A girl with long purple hair, green eyes, and black battle armor hovered next to one cave. On her back were mechanical wings that, with the help of engines, allowed her to fly.

"Huh, I just decided to join your party. What's wrong with that?" The girl smirked as she flew over to Lin.

She picked Lin up and threw her to Kane, that flew out of the fire circle and caught his sister.

"Prima... What does that mean?" Kane asked with a confused look.

"It's nothing of the sort. I'm not interested in your disputes. I don't care who's in charge in the Eastern District, the Green Cats or the Twilight Embers, though it's pretty clear who won." Prima said as she looked at Skyla, "As head of the northern district, I have no right to interfere with you, so I came here to fight Nameless!"
