Nameless King

Chapter 741 Light

"Oh... So you can talk? How unexpected." Wain uttered with a calm look while slowly stepping forward.

"I'm just learning... However, I'm not sure words are necessary, you understand me without them, don't you?" Dimension Guard said as his aura rose.

"Well, you don't need words in battle." Wain shrugged as he waved his hand.

Whoooooosh.

Towards the Dimension Guard flew a light blade that cut everything in front of him, even space, leaving many cracks in the air.

The Dimension Guard attacked back as he rained his massive sword of light on the ground. There was a huge blade that easily destroyed Wain's attack and headed toward him with tremendous speed.

Wain's pupils narrowed as his silhouette clouded. For a moment he was reduced to a blur of dark flame, then appeared a few feet away, on top of a rocky peak.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The blade of light destroyed the ground, leaving behind it a wide, deep trail that was like a chasm into which the waters of a multitude of rivers flowed.

'Damn, he actually reached the Third Rank... If that attack had hit me, I'd have been seriously injured.' Marlis uttered with a panicked look while biting her finger, 'Fuck, looks like it was a mistake to go into the Fourth Chronicle area of Purgatory as the power limiting chains get in the way too much.'

Wain with a calm look looked at the destruction that had occurred due to one single attack of the Dimension Guard.

"Light can actually be a destructive force, but only darkness can come close to it." Wain uttered before stepping forward.

His silhouette blurred as he split into multiple clots of flame, that in a second gathered next to the Dimension Guard as Wain appeared behind him.

Whoooooosh.

Wain with a deadly ice-cold look swung his sword.

The Dimension Guard's body trembled as he turned and put up a block. The two lightsabers clashed, but the pressure coming from Wain outstripped Dimension Guard's own.

"What...? Why are you so strong...?" Dimension Guard uttered in disbelief while trying to keep from falling.

Dimension Guard's sword was much bigger than Wain's one, but Wain's energy was much denser due to the smaller size, so the massive sword in Dimension Guard's hands shook violently.

"Hmm... I thought you'd turn out much more powerful, though maybe I just got lucky." Wain muttered with an indifferent look.

Tremble.

His aura intensified as the spirit hovering over him headed for his sword, filling it with pure and deadly energy.

Tremble. Tremble. Crackle.

Many cracks appeared on the massive sword, then Wain stepped forward and sliced it in two.

"No!" the Dimension Guard exclaimed with a frightened expression as he tried to defend himself with what was left of his weapon.

"It's pointless." Wain said in an indifferent voice.

Crackling.

The lightsaber plunged into the Dimension Guard's body, splitting him in two as though he were an unstable blob of darkness that took little effort to do it.

Marlis' eyes opened wide as she trembled in disbelief. She was prepared for a bloody hard fight just as much as to do anything to help Wain win, but in the end, it happened.

Bam.

Dimension Guard's body fell to the ground while white blood spilled to the sides.

"Well, well, it was easier than I thought..." Wain uttered in a careless manner as he placed the sword on his shoulder.

'How did he do that...?! Marlis inwardly exclaimed with a dazed look, 'Even if he were superior to the Dimension Guard in Chronicle, it would be impossible to finish it all in one attack! But, they were on the same level because of the containment forces of the zone!'

Marlis knew Wain was strong, after all, he was Top-2 in the Colosseum, but she thought at her best Wain was comparable in skill and that, only after decades of experience.

'Wait... Doesn't that mean that right now, right here, he's stronger than me!? Marlis uttered to herself with a trembling look as she stared at Wain that stood before the corpse of the Dimension Guard as though an invincible being.

Pieces of dark flame separated from his coat as the bright sword looked like a guiding beacon.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Suddenly, dark threads flew out of the halves of Dimension Guard's body that trying to connect the body in one, bringing Dimension Guard back to life.

"Agh... Still don't want to give up? Well, I wasn't going to leave anyway, since I haven't gotten your soul yet!" Wain said as a devious smirk appeared on his face that made Marlis flinch.

The sword shattered into many pieces and his palm was covered in a bright white light that could cleanse anything. Then, Wain pointed his hand at the corpse of the Dimension Guard and the threads trembled. They tried to resist his power but gradually headed toward him.

'What...? What is he doing? Marlis inwardly muttered with worried looks, 'He's absorbing the Dimension Guard?! But you can't do that!'

Whooooosh.

Marlis ran forward as she stretched out her arm and shouted, "Wain! Stop! The energy of Dimension Guards is purer than even the one in Soul Pearls, it will tear you apart!"

"Hah, I recently get over a billion souls! Do you really think that the energy of one being can harm me? I'll just absorb it just like everything else!" Wain exclaimed as the pressure emanating from him increased several times.

The body of the Dimension Guard turned into clots of darkness as they began to mix with the white blood that soared upwards, gradually turning into a perfect black-and-white sphere.

[Soul of Third Rank Dimension Guard

Chronicle: Fourth (Fifth)

Rating: Unique

The soul of the creature that dominates in the open space. It should not have existed since the two basic energies of Dimension Guards, should be collided, but for light and darkness it is impossible, they are opposites, however, because of some unique power it happened.]

'Great. Now it will be much easier for us to get to the seventh.' Code of Light and Darkness said as a slight smile appeared on his face.
