Nameless King

Chapter 722 Blade Dissecting The World

The ghosts pounced on Reidar while grimly cracking their jaws with razor-sharp teeth. The sound would have frightened even a very strong monster, but Reidar was as calm as ever.

"You think energy spirits can do me any damage? Nameless... Don't you underestimate me?" Reidar uttered in an ice-cold voice as he stepped forward.

Electric shocks rippled through his katana before his hand blurred. Then, from the katana flew a blade of lightning that instantly reached the ghosts.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

There was a deafening explosion that shook the entire arena as the shock wave caused the lake water to ripple and caused the trees to sway.

Reidar lowered his katana while with a calm gaze staring at the purple cloud that was slowly dissipating.

"You used so much energy and a Beyond for me to stop your attack with a simple swing of a weapon?" Reidar uttered in a careless manner, "Maybe your power can absorb an attack, making it weaker, but it absolutely does not work against such quick counterattacks."

"Ahahahahaha, you've finally shown your true face, at least part of it." Wain laughed as a devious smirk appeared on his face, "Do you really think that's all my a Beyond can do?"

Whooooooooosh.

At the same time, dozens of black dots flew out of the cloud. They were ghosts that though in no way harmed by Reidar's attack.

"What?! How is that possible?!" Reidar exclaimed with a dazed look while in disbelief.

The ghosts quickly got to him, so Reidar had to react. Sparks appeared in his eyes as he swung his katana more than ten times in just a few seconds. Dozens of lightning-violet blades rained down on the ghosts and Reidar jumped back a few meters.

"Well, that should be enough." Reidar uttered, but, a second later his eyes went wide as his katana grip loosened.

The energy blades were able to destroy some of the spirits, but only a few as most simply devoured the blades, crushing them with their powerful jaws.

"They're eating them... Shit! I totally misunderstood the way his power works!" Reidar exclaimed as lightning flashed near his feet.

He turned into a purple flash, then thin lines began to appear on the ghosts and they burst into pieces. Reidar was destroying more and more ghosts with his deadly sharp katana with each passing second.

"Hah, this guy is pretty smart. He knew right away that it was better to use energy to speed up since his katana would be enough to deal with the ghosts." Osvald grinned with crossed arms while carefully watching Reidar's every move.

It only took Reidar a few seconds to destroy more than half the ghosts. They tried to get close to him, but Reidar was too experienced for the clots of energy to hurt him. His katana sliced the spirits apart while lightning bolts kept his immense speed up.

Whooooooosh.

Reidar cut through another ghost, but suddenly Wain appeared in front of him with a sword aimed at his neck. Reidar's eyes went wide as his aura rose abruptly.

"Hey, do you really have to kill all my ghosts? It took me quite a bit of energy to create them." Wain uttered in a calm voice before turning his sword.

At the same time, a wave of energy came from his palm that traveled through the hilt to the tip of the sword, turning into a massive torrent of darkness hitting Reidar.

Reidar put his katana out in front of him as if he was covered by a shield. A stream of darkness threw him down as Reidar slammed into the ground like a meteor. Then, the remaining ghosts, more than twenty in number, came crashing down on him.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

Each ghost's pupil narrowed as it approached the ground, and they exploded with darkness when they reached their target.

"Holy shit..." Someone uttered while in disbelief while looking at the black clots that as though a hail of arrows was raining down on Reidar, "Is it possible to survive such an attack? Even one ghost has an eerie aura, but they literally sacrifice themselves to inflict as much damage on Reidar as possible..."

Crackle.

Suddenly several purple streaks appeared in the air.

"Hmm? What is that?" The man muttered while in a confusion, then he blinked.

It was enough to make several thousand instead of just a few stripes, then a powerful lightning burst from a single point that tore the ghosts apart, leaving not even a tiny particle of them.

The lightning burst easily penetrated several layers of barriers and it made the entire Colosseum tremble.

The cloud of dust slowly dissipated as everyone saw what had become of Reidar after such an aggressive Wain attack.

He stood in the middle of the wide crater while the wind fluttered his black hair and slightly damaged black and purple robe in the wind. His gaze remained calm, but now Reidar was fully focused and serious as he too had to use one of his trump cards.

"Well, well, it looks like we've each taken it to the next level now." Wain grinned while slowly stepping forward, "Your Beyond definitely suits you."

Reidar's hands appeared with purple gloves, a hoop on his head that gave off electric sparks, and bright lightning flashes in his eyes.

"I'll take that as a compliment." Reidar uttered with a slight nod of his head as he glanced at his katana, "I didn't think I'd have to do it so soon, but I underestimated you, so... now we can give it our best shot."

Reidar raised his katana as his headband glowed. A tremendous amount of energy headed toward the katana as powerful electrical discharges caused the space next to him to distort.

Then, a shiver ran through Wain's body as all his instincts told him that this attack was deadly. Though the watcher usually saved and healed fighters, it was impossible to do so if death came from an instant attack.

"I hope no one in the audience gets hurt as even I'm not sure how powerful this attack is right now..." Reidar uttered while looking at the katana, then the calm expression disappeared as a cruel smirk formed on his face, and his gaze filled in bloodlust with he muttered, "Though who am I kidding? I don't fucking care!"
