Nameless King

Chapter 943 Blades



Chapter 943 Blades

In every war, there were commanders, common soldiers, and the strongest fighters. Usually, the strongest came out at the end or when there was a need, but Frigus decided to break that rule, since he had nothing to fear at home.

"Looks like your mechanical body is pretty bad at handling ice, doesn't it?" Frigus said with a calm look, stepping slowly forward. The snow crunched beneath his feet, as well as the hundreds of grains of sand that were completely frozen because of the low temperature.

Keira didn't answer anything, she just amplified her aura and summoned electrical discharges to break the thin layer of ice bounding her body.

'Damn... I thought he was a simple swordsman, but the power of his ice is comparable to a high-level spell... I need to be careful. After all, he owns such a powerful Void, so every attack he makes could be deadly.' Keira muttered inwardly, watching Frigus carefully.

Whooooooooooosh.

Frigus stepped forward as his silhouette disappeared and in its place was left an icy crater with falling sand.

A shadow with a cold stare appeared behind Keira, about to bring his sharp sword down on her.

'What...?! Frigus's eyes went wide at the sight of the cannon aimed at him, though Keira turned around, she slid the blade of her sword under her arm opening a path for the shot.

Booooooooom!

At the same moment, an electric sphere filled with lightning energy was launched from the cannon. It exploded behind Keira's back, aiming all its power directly at Frigus, who had only a moment to react.

'Frigus!' Luna exclaimed as several runes on the sword glowed brightly. An ice barrier appeared in front of Frigus, but it was immediately destroyed by the blast, tossing Frigus aside dozens of meters.

Burns appeared on his pale cheeks as well as on his arms as he rolled down the desolate slope before stopping.

"Agh... That wasn't pleasant." Frigus muttered with a complicated expression before plunging his sword into the ground. Cold waves of ice spread around, covering everything with a thick layer of ice.

Keira turned around, directing her clear gaze at him. Her mechanical eyes stared at Frigus as a slight smirk appeared on her face.

"Did you really think I'd fall for the same trick a second time in a row?" Keira smirked as she gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, "You're fast, but I should have no problem anticipating your moves."

Frigus shook his head, knocking icy grains of sand from his hair, and glanced at Keira with a calm look.

He looked at the three faded runes on the blade of his sword and muttered, "I must admit it was unexpected, but unlike you, I have an ally. Your sword is an interesting weapon, but don't you think you should make up your mind on a weapon or a gun?"

"I don't need it." Keira waved her hand, "My sword is the best weapon I could make. You can only attack me up close and have no explosive power, so you're definitely losing to me on that."

Frigus remained silent, he with narrowed eyes ran his palm over the blade of his sword, then he said, "You can both shoot and slash, that's actually an advantage, but is that a benefit?"

"What do you mean?" Keira frowned as she was puzzled by Frigus's calm response.

"Agh, I can't shoot that's true, but you certainly can't cut better than I can, so that makes half your weapons useless." Frigus sighed letting out cold steam before he slowly swung his hand from bottom to top.

Tiny particles of ice filled with energy and turned into an icy blade, heading straight for Keira. The blade left a wide cut in the ground behind it, freezing it completely.

'Shit! That was fast!' Keira's eyes went wide, but she didn't run away since she was already ready for something like this.

Boooooooooom.

An explosive projectile flew out of her sword again, destroying the icy blade, and leaving behind a cloud of steam.

Frigus was not upset that Keira could so easily destroy his attack, on the contrary, he had the sly smirk that he rarely got.

"Fine, if you like your sword so much, I'll let you use it properly." Frigus's eyes flashed as his hand turned into a blur.

At the same moment, a multitude of icy blades headed toward Keira. They were weaker than the last one, but there were considerably more of them, and Frigus wasn't going to stop.

'Hmm? Why is he smirking? Does he really think it can hurt me?' Keira inwardly muttered trying to figure out what Frigus' plan was, but she didn't have time for that since the icy blades were already in front of her.

Keira quickly channeled energy into her sword to fire a few more shots, destroying the ice blades, but she immediately had to do it again.

'Well, maybe Constructs have high intelligence, but it doesn't seem to have much effect on the decisions she makes during combat. She just can't figure out what fell into the simplest trap.' Frigus muttered inwardly as he continued to wave his hand.

Frigus had a lot of energy, perhaps not as much as Elegan, but he could create icy blades for a very long time, however, gradually they became smaller. The blades became more brittle, not as sharp or as fast, but even more than before.

Keira was under pressure as she barely had time to destroy all the attacks, so she just didn't have a chance to realize that the blades had become weaker.

"Well, well, it looks like Frigus is evolving comprehensively, he's come up with a pretty simple but cunning plan." Wain smirked, resting his head on his hand and with a slight smirk watching the fight, "She thinks that since he's a swordsman he'll soon run out of energy, but in fact, the exact opposite will happen."

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Lightning bolts went off on Keira's sword as she was about to fire again, but the cannon just jammed and black smoke came out.

'Shit! It overheated! Keira exclaimed to herself, then her eyes went wide as she finally realized what was happening.
