Nameless King

Chapter 920 Fang

'Shit... That hurt like hell...' Nicole inwardly muttered lying under the stone rubble, a few hundred meters from the Emerald Golem.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

With each step of the Emerald Golem, the ground trembled as the sound of footsteps gradually became rumbling and the trembling became stronger.

'Agh... He's pretty close already. If I don't get up now, I might even die, but how do I defeat him?' Nicole pondered with a blank stare, 'He's so strong... What do I do? I've never been in this situation before. Why is this bastard stronger than me? Agh, it pisses me off so much!'

Step. Step. Step.

In a few massive steps, the Emerald Golem reached the pile of rubble under which Nicole lay. He pointed his hands at it with open palms, gradually building up energy for one last attack.

'I can feel it, he has so much energy, fuck, this attack will definitely kill me if I don't do something. I can get out of here and dodge, but what's the point? There's no way I can win by running away.' Nicole said to herself as her eyes went wide, 'Wait... There's no point in me thinking about it that long, all I have to do is attack as hard as I can, right? If I succeed, I win, if not, I lose, it's simple!'

Whooooooooooooooooooooosh.

Two destructive rays launched from the palms of the Emerald Golem's hands, heading toward the pile of rubble at breakneck speed.

'Well, well, for a moment I was worried, but you certainly know what power is.' Wain muttered inwardly, looking at the wisps of darkness coming out of the cracks.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At the same moment, a giant sphere the size of half a Golem shot toward the two green rays, destroying everything in its path. The thick darkness engulfed the energy beams, quickly reaching the Emerald Golem.

The Golem didn't expect Nicole to be able to create such a powerful attack quickly, so he tried to defend himself by creating an energy barrier in front of him. A simple blow from Nicole's would never be able to break that barrier or harm the Emerald Golem in any way, but this sphere was equal in power to a thousand of her blows.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Crackles went through the barrier, then, because of the tremendous pressure from the sphere, the barrier shattered into small shards, allowing the darkness to collide with the Emerald Golem.

"Roooooaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!" The Emerald Golem roared furiously as he used all his energy to maximize his defense.

From his body, hundreds of small green shards flew aside, but eventually the sphere dissipated into dark streams, never killing the Golem.

Bam.

The Emerald Golem fell to one knee, keeping his fist from falling to the ground. He was able to withstand Nicole's attack, but his body was at its limit, if he received one more powerful blow his defense would fall completely, leading to his death.

Whoooooooooooosh.

Suddenly a shadow appeared in front of the Emerald Golem. It was Nicole, covered in a massive amount of darkness.

"You made me bleed, though it was damn easy to defeat you. All I had to do was increase the power, nothing more." Nicole said coldly, staring at the Golem with a look as sharp as blades.

Bam.

She clenched her fist and gathered an enormous amount of energy in one point before she attacked. Her punch looked as if a black star had collapsed on the Golem, destroying it completely and causing it to shatter into millions of pieces.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The force of the impact caused an explosion as well as a powerful shockwave that spread hundreds of meters around, removing the fog from most of the mountain.

Nicole fell to the ground, looked down at her bloody hand, and fell to the ground. She stared at the bright sun, which was occasionally blocked by clouds while breathing heavily.

"Agh... Agh... Agh..." Nicole breathed slowly, trying to come to her senses as a satisfied smile appeared on her face, "Well, it was hard, but I did it!"

At the same moment, a shadow appeared over her as Nicole saw Wain as well as his sly smile.

"You did it in four minutes and forty seconds. That's not a bad result, although you got a lot more early than I expected." Wain said calmly as he leaned toward her.

"Give me a break. I just didn't know what to do, it was too solid, though I found a solution pretty quickly. I'm a genius, aren't I?" Nicole smirked confidently.

"Hah, you think just increasing the power of your attacks by several times is a smart decision? That doesn't make you a genius." Wain grinned, "Most wouldn't be able to do the same as you, since few people have as much destructive energy as you do."

"Well, I made it anyway." Nicole shrugged, "The method isn't important, the most important thing is the result, isn't it?"

"Hmm... Maybe you're right. At least if we're talking about mortal combat then yes, it doesn't matter how, the important thing is to win." Wain nodded with a thoughtful look.

"You're right about something, though." Nicole muttered as she looked down at her hands, "That Golem has given me some pretty serious wounds, well, my last attack was so powerful that I wounded myself. What can I do to heal quickly?"

Wain remained silent until he looked ahead, "Have you forgotten that energy can do more than destroy? Look, this is one of your rewards for winning this fight."

Nicole was puzzled as she rose and her eyes went wide at the sight of a huge red soul floating in the air. In the distance, there were several purple souls that remained from the other Golems.

"Right... If I absorb all this energy, I'll increase my regeneration." Nicole muttered with a dazed expression.

"Exactly, so go ahead! Don't waste time, we came here to get the dragon's fang, fighting Golems wasn't in our plans at all!" Wain said as he patted Nicole on the shoulder.

"Yeah, you're right." Nicole nodded before running to the souls with greed in her gaze.
