Nameless King

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

A multitude of ice spikes burst from under the ground, which filled the entire space, making Nicole and Frigus jump up to dodge them.

"Hey! It's no good stealing my tricks!" Nicole exclaimed with a frown as she landed on one of the ice spikes.

"Well, he's just learning. When you get a huge power abruptly, the most important task is to figure out how to use it." Frigus said calmly, looking at the spikes moving toward him.

Whoooooooooosh.

Frigus swung his swords, in a heartbeat destroying the spikes into tiny shards and clearing the territory around him.

'Fine... It was easier than I thought,' Wolf muttered inwardly, staring intently at his opponents. 'Ice is pretty easy to control, but I also have to learn how to use the darkness!'

Wolf's eyes flashed as two massive spheres appeared beside him as if made of dark flame. Gradually they began to spin around each other, speeding up considerably.

"Hmmm...? What is he doing?" Nicole was puzzled as she touched her lips with a thoughtful expression.

"I'm sorry I took advantage of your skill, now I've created something new!" Wolf exclaimed as magical projectiles of pure dark energy began to fly out of the spheres.

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Every time the spheres made one full circle, two projectiles flew out, so in a second there were several dozen projectiles containing destructive power heading toward Nicole.
Nicole could have easily dodged since she was fast and agile enough to do so, but instead, she stayed put as a sly smirk appeared on her face.

"Looks like you finally realized the situation you're in, so there's no point in holding back anymore." Nicole muttered with a slight smile as she stared at Wolf.

In a moment the projectiles should have reached Nicole, but suddenly there was a massive wall of darkness in front of her, that like a wave came crashing down on the projectiles, completely destroying them.

"What...? Shouldn't my energy be stronger than yours...?" The wolf muttered in disbelief since he had hoped to injure Nicole with this attack, greatly increasing his chances of victory.

"Hahaha, you're so funny!" Nicole laughed with an excited expression, "You fight worse than Frigus, and you don't understand energy as well as I do. You still have a lot to learn so you have at least a chance of beating us."

"Damn... Aren't you ashamed to say that? You're the one who's never trained... All your strength comes from your wild instincts." Frigus muttered with a confused look as he turned to Nicole.

"Hah, you may be right, but isn't that interesting? We're not just ice and darkness against someone who has those two attributes at once." Nicole smirked, "You rely on your talent and training, while I rely on my instincts and feelings, we are two complete opposites."

Frigus remained silent until he nodded, "Yeah... You're right. Our styles are vastly different."

"Exactly!" Nicole smiled, "We have to push it to the limit, so let's do it!"

Whooooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, Nicole turned into a flash as well as Frigus, who immediately followed her. They were heading toward Wolf from different directions, intending to attack him at the same time.

"Well, well, Edena, this lab is pretty solid, but I think it's about to be destroyed." Wain said with a wide grin on his face.

"Hmm? That's impossible." Edena shook her head, "Maybe they'll damage the walls considerably, but it's easy to rebuild. I don't think being in the Fourth Chronicle they could bring that much destruction."

"Hah, I wouldn't be so sure if I were you." Wain said as his pupils narrowed, "Don't forget that the real power of these two is on the Demigod Stage, a mere power reduction is incapable of containing their full potential."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Nicole's fist covered in darkness collapsed on the ice barrier that at the very last moment Wolf managed to create to protect himself.

"Weak!" Nicole exclaimed, easily destroying the thick wall of ice as her fist hit right in Wolf's jaw, throwing him back several meters.

"Argh!!!" Wolf cried out in pain as for a moment the world before him turned upside down, but no sooner had he recovered than the silhouette of a man with two ice swords appeared above him.

"Maybe we're being too harsh, but that's really what it takes," Frigus said calmly as he with an ice-cold look plunged the swords into Wolf's chest. Because these swords were flimsy and not as sharp as the one Frigus used as his primary weapon, they could not penetrate deeply into Wolf's flesh, but it was still enough to leave two terrible wounds that immediately gushed blood.



Wolf's eyes went blank for a moment as the pain was sharp and piercing, all just happening too fast.

"You bastards! How can you be capable of this when you are weaker than me!?" The wolf exclaimed furiously, clenching his teeth as energy streams erupted from him in the form of many circles, blue and black.

The rings flew off in a chaotic pattern, destroying everything around them. It was impossible to calculate the trajectory of the rings, so they should have hurt Frigus and Nicole, but that didn't happen, since Nicole and Frigus just dodged, reacting to such an attack with ease.

"Fine, I am already used to my new speed, so now I am fully prepared." Frigus said coldly as he appeared like a ghost behind Wolf.

"Agh...? What the hell...?" Wolf muttered with a confused expression.

"Hey! Look here!" Nicole smirked as she found herself right in front of the wolf. Her gaze met Frigus as they nodded at each other and immediately attacked.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

A second later a hail of blows came down on the Wolf, each one stronger than the last. Nicole and Frigus deliberately didn't use swords or blades, just their fists, because otherwise, Wolf would have been dead already.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Frigus and Nicole's blows created shock waves as the stone floor was covered with more and more cracks, gradually collapsing.

"No! How is that possible!" Edena exclaimed with a frightened stare, looking at the walls that began to collapse into massive chunks and fall down, completely breaking the entire structure of the experimentation area.
