Nameless King

Liang's attribute was wind, but thanks to his Spirit, he could do what was impossible for others. However, more influenced by his incredible physical power, but it all led to one result: the frosty Zero Area.

Kilometers of surface that for years had been covered only with ash and soot, were now completely iced over as if it were one huge glacier. 

The cold wind and snowflakes now stayed here for a long time as well as the snowflakes slowly falling on the thick, dense ice.

"Bastard... Why do you always have some sort of backup plan!" Nitra exclaimed furiously, as a black lightning bolt appeared in her hand.

She threw it straight at Liang with all her might.

Liang's most of his body was covered in ice due to Nitra reflecting some of the wind. However, it wasn't a problem for him to destroy it, and a swing of his sword reflected the lightning that was already right in front of him.

Crackle.

Liang landed, splitting the thick layer into pieces and causing cracks across the surface. With every step he took, the ice trembled slightly, but the frost hovering around him quickly repaired all the damage.

"A backup plan? I've never had anything like that and I'm not just talking about our fight. I don't have a need for it. I always only act according to the situation. Isn't that the most efficient way?" Liang uttered, looking intently at Nitra.

Nitra frowned, not answering anything.

"You got a unique ability and now you can get out of my attacks at any time, however, it just meant that I had to find a way to stop you. Ice turned out to be a great solution, didn't it?" Liang uttered while raising his hand.

'Shit... Even with my new powers, my trump cards are already pretty much at an end. All I have left is just this before I have to use my Form.' Nitra internally pondered as she looked at her spear.

Then, she closed her eyes, even though Liang could attack her at any moment. She realized that, but she also knew that Liang would choose to be cautious and not take such a risk for the chance to make a single attack.

Liang narrowed his eyes, 'Hmph... Looks like she's decided to move on to something more serious. Maybe I should attack her? Well... yeah, that's a good idea.''

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

Before Nitra could finish, Liang rushed forward, breaking the ice with his heavy steps. He quickly found himself right in front of Nitra, with his sword drawn to attack. 

Nitra frowned slightly, sensing that Liang had decided not to wait, but she didn't dodge since she had already done what she had planned.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

Nitra swung her spear, leaving behind a plume of darkness with stars floating amongst it, like the night sky or real space.

The sword and spear collided with each other, and a powerful pressure fell on each of them.
Nitra tried to suppress Liang, while his goal was to destroy his opponent and wound him as much as possible.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The space shook as powerful shockwaves came from the collision point, causing ripples to ripple through the air.

Then, there was a light air explosion, throwing Liang and Nitra to the side.

They quickly regained their balance and stood confidently on their feet, even though the ice beneath them was very slippery.

"What's that?" Liang asked pointing at Nitra's hair. It had gotten darker, almost black, with stars floating amongst it as if it had become part of the fabric of the vast cosmos.

"No big deal, I just finally decided to fight seriously." Nitra said confidently, adopting a fighting stance and holding her spear tightly in her hands.

Liang smirked, "Hah if it wasn't for the legacy of the Tree's past, you would already be dead! For someone so weak and inept, you're too arrogant!"

Nitra grinned, "Compared to you, I am the most humble person in all the worlds. Your arrogance has no limit!"

Liang nodded, "Yeah, you're right. But, there is one difference between us. I have the right to be so arrogant, and you don't."

Nitra frowned as anger appeared in her eyes. Liang was constantly overpowering and humiliating her, the worst part was that all she had to do was endure. Throughout the entire fight, she was only able to successfully attack Liang a few times.

'Well, this time it will be different. I can never surpass him in physical power, however, I definitely have more energy now! I have to make him use his Form!" Nitra exclaimed internally confidently before rushing forward.

A starry plume remained from her spear and hair as he quickly approached Liang.

"How strange..." Marlis muttered, staring intently at Nitra, studying her.I think you should take a look at

"Hm? What are you talking about?" Wain raised an eyebrow, giving a questioning expression.

"Why didn't she create some reflective barriers like before?" Marlis narrowed her eyes, rubbing the back of her head, "Damn, she decided to give up that power... right?"

Sven smirked, "You guessed it quickly. Normally you can't sacrifice something, but considering that this power isn't technically hers, but an external one, she was able to do it to enhance other areas."

Wain nodded, "Yeah, against Liang, the reflective barriers proved useless as well as the ability to quickly teleport from one point to another."

Step. Step. Step.????????????????????????????????.????????????

Nitra quickly approached Liang, swinging her spear.

Liang with a calm look, raised his sword, blocking Nitra's attack.

"You used a lot of energy to make your attacks more destructive, but... what's the point? You won't be able to surpass me. It's impossible." Liang said confidently while looking at the electric sparks flying off from the tip of the spear.

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure if I were you." Nitra smirked slyly, "Space has no boundaries, however, even the universe has a hard time keeping up with all its breadth. However, with my new body, it won't be a problem for me. How about 1%?"

"Hmm? 1%?" Liang said in a puzzled manner.

"Yeah. That's about twice as strong as it is now!" Nitra exclaimed with a crazy smile as the spear tip shone brightly, releasing dark streams of bright stars.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble. 

The ice beneath Liang cracked as he felt a powerful pressure, it was quite different from all the attacks Nitra had made before. Now, it was as if she was playing by Liang's rules and felt confident in this situation.

"Well, well, it looks like Liang is getting worried." Wain raised his head with a sly smile, "Nitra was constantly trying to think of something. Act on some plan, use a tricky technique, or generally get new powers, but none of it was effective against Liang."

Wain breathed, "All he used was brute force and pure power, I'm sure Nitra understood that as well, and now she's finally decided to do the same. If she wants to win, she needs to destroy Liang with his own weapons."

"Do you think she'll succeed?" Sven asked as the corners of his mouth turned upward, forming a mysterious smirk, "Even though she said her body has no limit, I'm not sure that's true."

Wain nodded, "Yeah, she definitely lied. If she releases more power, she definitely won't be able to maintain that state for long. However, if Liang is careless, he can get too many wounds during that period of time."

Sven, Osvald, Marlis, and Wain were discussing Nitra's new strength and her approach to battle, another person was more excited than the rest.

"Hehehehe, go ahead, if this fight ended in an easy Liang victory, it wouldn't be any fun at all!" Alucard exclaimed while waving his hands, "I want to see your blood! Real rivers!"

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Nitra gradually continued to increase her strength level, having already reached 4% and when she went to 5%, Liang could no longer withstand her pressure.

Tremble.

The ground beneath Liang fell as the tip of the spear swept across his chest with lightning speed, leaving a long cut on it.

Nitra glared at Liang's Spirit, as she saw a unique opportunity to inflict a critical wound on him right now.

'I can do it! If I destroy, no, just damage his Spirit, I can win! I can kill the one they call The Strongest One!" Nitra inwardly exclaimed as a flame ignited in her eyes that could not be extinguished.

Nitra immediately increased her strength to 25% as imperceptible cracks appeared on her body, but it gave her momentum which she used to attack directly.

Liang was experienced enough to realize what she was going to do by her movements, so he quickly grabbed his sword and swung it, but it was too late.

Nitra's spear stabbed into the right side of Liang's Spirit. His Spirit was very strong, able to withstand almost any pressure, but not Nitra's spear filled with the power of space.

Crackle. Crackle. Crack.

Cracks appeared on the Spirit as Nitra's spear passed through it, piercing Liang. Any warrior in his place would have been shocked, but he instantly regained his senses and despite the fight, pulled Nitra's spear from his chest, jumping back.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Droplets of dark blood ran down his chest and fell from his belt onto the cold ice. Part of his Spirit was shattered, and Vortex could no longer rotate, neither the outer nor the inner one.
