Nameless King

Wain, along with the samurai robots, made his way through a dense layer of trees. He was a little late, and he would fight the leader of the Samurai robots later. He would be a spectator first and then a participant in the battle.

"I wonder if that group can defeat their leader?" Wain muttered.

Then he stepped forward and passed through a layer of trees. Then Wain saw for the first time the lake, which was the main attraction of this park. The lake was small but crystal clear and perfectly round. It looked like a crystal disk among the trees.

Around the lake was a small path on which the robotic samurai stood. They stuck their weapons in the ground and stared intently at their leader.

At that moment, their leader was in the center of the lake. To Wain's surprise, this creature could stand on the water. Their boss was also a cyborg. His color was black. He was not as big as the red or blue robot samurai. He was about two meters tall.

The black robot samurai sat on the water in a lotus pose with a long, black sword with some built-in mechanism floating in front of it.

Wain turned around and saw a group of people who had recently fought against the blue robot samurai on the other side of the lake. Some of them were wounded, but overall they were still able to fight.

"Hmm, judging by the aura of that robot samurai, they don't stand a chance. He is much stronger than the blue samurai robot. This opponent is on a completely different level. What? Is there someone else here?" Wain muttered, looking at the girl in the distance.

The girl had long, black hair reaching her waist, blue eyes, and tall black boots. She was also wearing a black cloak, but unlike Wain's, her cloak wasn't clothing. It was the gear she'd gotten from Soul Chest. The cloak had small, protective plates on it.

Her weapon was a long, white rapier with a guard shaped like the wing of a fallen angel. She stared at the black robot samurai with a calm face, not even noticing that there were other people here.

When Wain looked at her, however, a strange connection formed between them. They both felt it, and at that moment, an aura involuntarily began to emanate from their bodies.

'I see. It looks like she got the Seal of Darkness too. That's impressive, though it was obvious that other people had passed the test of the World of Darkness besides me.' Thought Wain and grinned.

He decided to release even more of his aura, thus intimidating the girl. She tried to resist it and resist Wain's pressure, but she failed. She frowned and prepared to fight, but at that moment, Wain smiled and shifted his gaze to the center of the lake. He was teasing her. There was no point in him fighting her.

The girl's name was Teresa Gimenez. She hadn't expected to meet any other people here, and Wain's aura made her fearful.

'I didn't expect to meet anyone else here. What's more, he has the Seal of Darkness too, and judging by his aura, he's stronger than me. Damn, why is there always a problem.' Teresa Thought. 

She had come to this park to fight a powerful opponent and gain a valuable soul. Now she had rivals in the cause.

Wain looked at the black samurai robot and thought to himself, 'There is an eerie aura emanating from this monster, but it is not connected to the World of Darkness or the entrance to Void. The spatial rift seems to be in or under the lake. I can feel the energy emanating from there.'

Suddenly the black robot samurai stood up and grabbed his sword floating in the air. Then he turned and looked at the group of five, at Teresa and then at Wain. He didn't look at them in random order. It depended on which one of them got here first.

Then the black robot samurai pointed at the group of five with his sword as if calling them to them.

"This monster is somehow capable of standing on water, but none of us are likely to have such skills. Does it really want us to fight it in the lake?" Proclaimed Wain. In his mind, the actions of the black samurai robot made no sense, but that was not the case.

Suddenly the black robot samurai plunged his sword into the water, after which many black threads appeared all over the lake's surface. It was like a massive cobweb that completely covered the entire lake.

Then he pointed his sword again at the group of five men. They looked at each other and then came out into a kind of arena. To their astonishment, they could now stand on the water, or rather on thousands of thin threads.

They immediately prepared for battle and began to wait for the black robot samurai to attack.

"I thought he was going to make them come out one by one. Is it fair when a noble duel involves six contestants at once, five of whom are on the same side?" Wain muttered.

The black robot samurai was confident in his strength. Moreover, it was in his interest to fight with strong opponents. He understood that if the people in the group fought separately, they would surely lose. Therefore, he decided that he would fight them all at once.

A good team could act as one. But, if the people in the team didn't communicate well with each other, it was a real failure. To defeat such a dangerous opponent as the black robot samurai, they had to give it their all.

A guy with a large shield in his hands stepped forward. As in previous battles, he intended to block their enemy's attacks and protect his allies.

Beside him stood the melee attackers, and behind them were two men capable of attacking from a distance. Behind them, all stood a guy who was supposed to help the man with the shield with his skills.

"Their formation is pretty good, but they will probably lose. Their whole tactic is designed for their opponent to attack them head-on. But, if robot samurai quickly deal with the people in the second row, their whole formation will be destroyed and destabilized." Calmly Wain said, carefully watching the coming battle.

When all the participants were ready, the black robot samurai raised his sword high in the air, and at the exact moment, all the other robot samurai activated their weapons. An electromagnetic barrier appeared around the lake, which could withstand the explosion of a very powerful bomb. The head of the samurai robots didn't want anyone to interfere with their fight. This park and lake were his domain and his arena.

The black robot samurai gestured for the group of humans to attack. They looked at each other and then nodded. The man with the shield rushed towards the black robot samurai. He intended to block the monster's attacks and draw all its attention to himself.

Next to him ran two men, holding a sword and the other a club with spikes. They were quite large and strong in appearance.

The black robot samurai put his sword out in front of him the next moment, but he was not looking at the three men running in his direction. He was looking at the two people standing behind them. They had to attack the monster from afar.

'What is he doing?' Wain thought to himself. He believed that the black robot samurai was supposed to block the attacks of the three people in front of him, then counterattack and kill them. However, Wain did not know that the black robot samurai's sword was not a full sword. 

Click.

Suddenly there was a loud click, and the mechanism on the robot samurai's sword came into motion. Then the air next to the sword vibrated, and a small, invisible projectile flew toward the man with the big bow in his hands.

The next moment the man's head was exploded, and his body fell to the ground. The Soul Essence accumulated by this man went towards the black robot samurai, making him a little stronger.

'Huh, so much for the noble duel. Just shot one of them, but what exactly was that...?' Wain pondered.

No bullet or projectile didn't fly out of the mechanism on the black robot samurai's sword. All Wain saw was a ripple in the air as if left by a flying bullet. Moreover, Wain did not see a shell casing fall at the feet of the robot samurai. That meant that the robot samurai had fired something else.

"Hmm, maybe his weapon doesn't have any projectile at all, and my eyes don't deceive me. But, then it turns out to be some air bullet or kinetic bullet?" Wain muttered thoughtfully.

'Hmm, as far as I know, there was one creature in my world that used a similar technique. It was a creature of the crustacean family. It had asymmetrical claws, one of which was several times larger than the other. This sea creature could squeeze its paw with incredible speed, creating a kind of shot that was faster than a pistol shot. There seems to be a similar mechanism at work here.' Wain thought, staring intently at the black robot samurai's sword.

This development dumbfounded the members of the group. They didn't expect something like this to happen. Some of them started trembling with fear, but suddenly their group leader said loudly, "Don't retreat! We must defeat him, or we will die ourselves. We knew what we were getting into. Let's go!"

It was the man with the shield. After his fiery speech, he activated his skill. His shield began to heat up rapidly, then burst into a scarlet flame. Then the fire shrunk to a single point and exploded. All the firepower of this explosion was directed at the black robot samurai.. It was like a bomb whose explosion could be directed to one side.
