Nameless King

Chapter 869 The New Frontier

Gisle had become one of the few people in the entire world who managed to awaken the mind of his weapon. However, this was not his main goal in this fight as he just didn't expect that such a thing was possible, but sometimes even the most incredible things could happen at an unexpected moment.

'How are you feeling?' Vexa asked in a worried voice.

'Excellent. It's like I've fulfilled my biggest dream and that's not the limit!' Gisle exclaimed with a happy smile as he gripped the hilt of his katana tighter.

Vexa blushed slightly at Gisle's words, then her gaze turned serious, 'Fine, though you've spent all your energy, you're definitely ready for round two.  Let's show what we can do together!'

Gisle nodded and stepped forward. Wain still had plenty of energy, an almost unlimited supply, but he wouldn't use it. Though the energy was necessary for every fight, it was only their physical stats as well as their swordsmanship that decided everything right now.

"Well, well, you managed to do it after all, impressive. You're lucky you were with your weapon from the start as it takes a lot of time, energy, and experience to get a mind." Wain said quietly walking slowly forward, "But, what now? I hope you're not going to end it there?"

Gisle smirked, "Of course not, I still need to reach the Fifth Chronicle, or have you forgotten that?"



Whoooooooooosh.

Gisle rushed forward and attacked as fast as he could. His katana came down on Wain like a torrent of wind, just in a heartbeat. The attack was simple, but it seemed it could easily have sliced Wain in two, had he not been even faster as he raised his sword above his head, thus blocking the attack.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

A wave of shivers ran through Wain's body, going to the ground, but blocking this attack was easy for him as it was Gisle's hands that were shaking.
'Damn, he's really strong. Though I was the one who attacked, but I think my grip may be loosening at any moment.' Gisle said to himself before turning around sharply, and attacking from the other side.

Wain's pupils narrowed, took a step back, and thrust his sword out in front of him. There was a ringing sound as the blade of the katana stopped in front of his eye, unable to advance further because of the dark sword.

'Hey, Wain, I know you can end this fight right now, but if you want this guy to get stronger, I need to talk to his weapon.' Suddenly Gladius' voice sounded in Wain's mind.

For a moment he was surprised, then nodded, 'Sure, it won't be hard. I'll give you plenty of chances to do it.'

Whoooooooosh.

Wain swung his sword tossing Gisle's arm aside and lunged forward with an ice-cold look. Normally Wain preferred to attack as powerfully as possible even if he had to sacrifice speed to do so, but now he was doing the opposite.

"What the hell!" Gisle exclaimed inwardly, struggling to block Wain's attacks which came at him like a hail of arrows.

Wain swung his sword furiously, gradually becoming faster and faster. In a few seconds, Gisle saw nothing but black flashes as he reflexively blocked the attacks.

'Shit! Shit! Shit! Why did he suddenly become so aggressive? At this rate, my arms are just going to go numb!' Gisle's eyes narrowed as he took a deep breath, trying to concentrate fully on his opponent.

This went on for a while until Gladius finally managed to do what he had originally planned.

Whoooooosh.

A spark passed through the dark sword to the katana as the world came to a sudden halt, but for some, it went on.

"Hm? What's going on? Why are they frozen in place...?" Vexa muttered in a confusion.

"Hahaha, this guy has enormous power but is not at all eager to get as many women as possible, however, they find him themselves, don't they?" Suddenly a powerful voice rang out in her space as an eerie aura headed towards her in a swift stream.

Vexa grew wary as goosebumps ran down her body. She looked around trying to figure out who was speaking.

"No need to turn your head so sharply, I'm here." Gladius said coming out of the darkness with a smirk.

He was wearing a long black coat and dark trousers with a massive belt. There was nothing underneath the coat, just his muscular bare torso covered in a multitude of scars. Gladius' eyes were like sharp blades while a cloud of smoke rose from the massive cigarette clamped between his teeth.

"You... You are his sword!" Vexa exclaimed with wide eyes, "Gladius! A weapon that cannot be broken! The sword of the strongest man in history!"

"Yeah, that's me. You know, you were pretty hard to get ahold of. No wonder this guy had to go through a fight with Wain to get through to you. You protected yourself with one hell of a barrier." Gladius said exhaling smoke in a mighty stream.

Vexa frowned, "What are you doing here? I respect you, but shouldn't we be busy with something else right now? Moreover, I didn't call you into my space, so I'd appreciate it if you'd get out of here."

"Hmm? Don't you see why I came here?" Gladius' smirked as he narrowed his eyes, "Do you think the fight was 2 vs 2 now?"

"What...? What are you talking about?" Vexa uttered in confusion.

"Gisle did a good job of waking your mind, but what about you? Well, I'll put it simply, at the moment you're a useless piece of shit." Gladius pointed at Vexa, staring at her intently.

Vexa was shocked for a moment as there was no way she could have expected him to say that.

"Are you delirious? This is utter nonsense! This may be our first battle with him, but I'm trying my best to make sure we put up a decent fight!" Vexa shouted as she clenched her fists tightly.

"Nah, that's not true. You act as a weapon now, a mere piece of iron, but you should be his second most important strength after himself." Gladius said walking slowly towards Vexa, "Well, I'll help you understand that."
