Nameless King

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The experiment room was one of the most solid places in the lab since Edena had taken care to make the walls strong enough to withstand any pressure. However, now she had to watch as the stone walls broke apart and fell down, gradually destroying the entire room.

"Damn... I spent so much time on this place... but they actually managed to destroy it." Edena muttered as a shiver went through her body.

"Don't worry, I'm sure with Elegan's help you can easily rebuild it." Wain said with a slight smile as he turned around, "I'm right, aren't I?"

"Sure." Elegan nodded, "These may be unusual walls, but I can definitely build new ones that are stronger than these. The important thing is for these two to stop soon, otherwise, I'll have to create the whole room all over again..."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Nicole and Frigus kept throwing punches, seemingly having no intention of stopping. It was a real ordeal for Wolf since he could hardly stay conscious. The dark plates protected him, preventing the blows from hitting him directly, but the overall pressure was devastating.

'Fuck... If they continue at this rate I'll just pass out... Their blows aren't very hard, I could easily take a few, but this... this is some real hell.' Wolf inwardly muttered as Nicole's fist crashed into his stomach.

"AGH!!!" Wolf's eyes went wide as blood gushed from his mouth. His face contorted in pain, it looked like he could have died, but no one cared as a moment later Nicole attacked again with more force.

'Shit... If I don't do something, they'll kill me! The wolf exclaimed inwardly as he watched the hail of blows that came down on him, 'But how can I act when they're pressuring me like this? I have to try to defend myself, right?
Whoooooooooooooooosh.

Wolf touched the ground with his hand as he directed two streams of energy, black and blue. The next moment many crystals emerged from the ground that covered Wolf with a massive dome that was additionally protected by a dense layer of darkness.

'Fine... now I have some time to come to my senses...' Wolf said to himself with relief, but not a second later the ice barrier shuddered as several shards fell on Wolf's face.

'No way... it can't be!' Wolf exclaimed inwardly and the dome shattered into small pieces.

Crackling.

Two fists collapsed on Wolf's chest, causing his eyes to empty for a moment from the savage pain that went through his entire body.

"Well, well, he tried to defend himself, but that idea was doomed to fail from the start." Wain grinned as he crossed his arms.

"Yeah, he picked the wrong option, defending himself against those two is just impossible... It's probably the stupidest thing he could have done." Reto muttered with a thoughtful expression.



"I agree. If he wants to survive, he needs to act riskier." Sarras nodded with a serious look, "Trying to defend himself or run away... that will never lead him to success. He must do something else to reach the Fifth Chronicle."

Wolf couldn't hear what Wain and the others were saying, however, with each blow that fell upon him he himself gradually realized what his mistake was.

'Agh... I need to beat them somehow... to the limit to be able to evolve, but they won't give me even a second's respite. I can't defend myself, in which case what am I supposed to do...? Hah, it's pretty damn obvious, right?' The wolf inwardly muttered as a sly smirk appeared on his bloody face, 'I must attack!'

Whoooooooooosh.

The wolf's pupils narrowed as he rose from the ground, swinging his sharp blades in front of him. He was in pain since Nicole and Frigus didn't stop for a second, but Wolf knew he couldn't let it go on any longer.

'It doesn't matter if I lose or win, I have to fight while I can!' Wolf shouted to himself as energy blades flew out of the crystals on his arms.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Frigus and Nicole created protective barriers in front of them, but it wasn't enough to block the blades, after all, Wolf had a lot more energy than them now.

"Shit!" Nicole exclaimed as the dark barrier in front of her shattered and the shockwave threw her back several meters. The same thing happened to Frigus, however, he took far less damage than Nicole whose arms were now covered in tiny scratches.

"That's not all!" The wolf exclaimed furiously attacking as he pounced on Nicole with a ferocious stare like a predator.

The wolf created a massive sword from the darkness, raining it directly on Nicole. It was all happening too fast for Nicole to react, but Frigus managed to appear in front of Nicole at the last moment, protecting her with his icy sword.

Crackle.

The ground beneath Frigus cracked from the powerful pressure, but despite this, his hands did not waver, although the ice sword was gradually covered in cracks.

​ "Well done, attacking us was a good idea, now I think you're ready to move on to the final stage. Nicole, I guess now you can show all you can do." Frigus calmly said and behind him appeared a massive stream of darkness that emanated from Nicole.

"Yeah, I agree. I haven't experienced such shame in a long time...he attacked me like I was his prey... shit, I'm not going to take it anymore." Nicole muttered as her eyes filled with blood and a deadly stare descended upon Wolf, causing his fur to rise.

Whoooooooooosh.

At the same moment, Nicole's silhouette turned into a flash as she appeared in front of the Wolf with a cruel stare. Her small palms turned into massive paws of darkness with long, sharp claws like those of the most dangerous beast, then she swung her arms downward, easily penetrating Wolf's protective plates and leaving wide wounds on his chest from which blood gushed.

"Hahaha, great, that's what it takes. Now Nicole really wants to kill him and no one can stop her!" Wain exclaimed with an excited smile.
