Nameless King

...

At the same time, the fight between Wain and Virion continued.

"Hey... I\'m not going to ask how you know all this about me, a lot of opportunities have come up lately, but do you really think you can take my power?" Wain asked with a deadly ice-cold look as he prepared for battle, "Even I don\'t know why I have this power, so how can you be so sure?"

Virion looked at him for a while as if trying to figure out if this was a trap and said, "You don\'t have to worry about that, I wouldn\'t attack you if I didn\'t have the right way."

\'Wain... This guy has tremendous power...\' Gladius muttered in a serious voice, \'His aura is incredibly dense, it seems he\'s only one step short of reaching the Fifth Chronicle.\'

\'I agree.\' The Abyss Artist suddenly said, \'You haven\'t met such Arkans yet... He has no Rank as there is no need for it. His star is seven-pointed, which means he could potentially become one of the strongest Arkans.\'\'

Wain quickly took in all this information and nodded slightly, "Well, it\'s probably for the best that you showed up since the strength of this monster disappointed me. However, you don\'t seem to be an easy target, do you?"

"Sure. I\'ll do my best to be your toughest opponent since I\'ll definitely be the last one!" Virion exclaimed as his blue eyes sparkled. Then, massive streams of energy headed toward the silver sword.

Virion stepped forward as white flames appeared at his feet and he swung his sword, unleashing a massive blade rushing at Wain.

The blade had tremendous power but didn\'t move very fast, gradually burning everything around it, so Wain could easily dodge. However, he didn\'t, he had to realize how strong his opponent was, and his only option was to attack back.

Whoooooooooosh.

Wain used a large amount of energy as he created a dark blade that a moment later collided with Virion\'s flaming blade.

The blades came into contact with each other, trying to suppress, but in the end, no one moved and the two energies exploded, creating a black-and-white vortex that filled the top of the glowing tree.

"Flames, right...? It\'s been a long time since I fought someone with that kind of power." Wain grinned as the vortex slowly dissipated.

The first thing Wain saw were Virion\'s blue eyes, then his pupils narrowed and a shiver went through his body as in the same instant all the flames dissipated and a lightning spear flew toward him.

Wain\'s silhouette blurred as he was several meters away when the spear reached the end of the hall. There was a deafening explosion as sparks from the lightning left a lot of damage on the floor, but despite that, the sturdy walls of the shining tree were not destroyed.

"What...? The lightning...? Why the hell do you possess two attributes...? Aren\'t only humans capable of that?" Wain muttered with wide eyes while in disbelief.

"Yeah... I possess both the power of fire and the power of lightning, however, I was only able to do it recently, thanks to one artifact, so I\'m still not fully accustomed to this power." Virion muttered while looking at his hand, before taking a deep breath, "You are the right opponent for me to learn how to control it."

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

White sparks appeared in his fingers as a white flaming orb appeared in his other hand. Virion slowly linked the two energies together as a small flame vortex appeared between his palms, sometimes emitting lightning discharges to the sides.

\'Virion Payne... Though I have a hell of a lot of questions for him, but one thing is clear, he is definitely not inferior to me in strength, though it is not surprising considering he is at the Top-1 of the Colosseum, which means the strongest in the Fourth Chronicle...\' Wain internally murmured as his aura intensified and waves of dark energy came out.

The temperature around him dropped drastically as the sword in Wain\'s hand changed to blue with frost-emitting runes. The ground beneath Wain became covered in a thick layer of ice as even the air beside him froze, turning into blue sparks that looked like snowflakes.

"You seem surprised that someone other than a human can have two attributes, but the amount of power you actually possess is astounding." Virion said earnestly as his gaze became sharp as a blade, "I\'ve seen you use that power once before... so do you really think I wasn\'t prepared?"

The ring on Virion\'s finger glowed brightly as two scarlet runes appeared beside it. They absorbed some of the heat from the swirl between Virion\'s palms and burst into an orange flame. The runes weren\'t meant for attacking, as they were normally used in extremely cold areas to keep from freezing to death, but Virion found them more appropriate.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The sudden temperature change caused cracks to appear in the ice as it slowly began to melt. The temperature next to Wain returned to normal, but it was detrimental to the power of the Cursed Swordsman while next to Virion was getting hotter by the second.

"Now your ice is not as strong as before, is it?" Virion said with a devious smile on his face as drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, "Well, let\'s see if the frost will protect you from my fire!"

Whooooooooosh.

Virion opened his palms, letting out a whirlwind of energy that had already reached its limit. White flames with lightning were heading toward Wain at breakneck speed, about to burn him completely.

\'Hey, maybe we should duck.\' The Light Racer offered in an indifferent manner.

\'Hah, don\'t be silly, my ice isn\'t weak enough for any rocks to interfere with it. I\'m right Wain, aren\'t I?\' Cursed Swordsman smirked.

Wain answered nothing, he just took a deep breath and just one look at him made Virion break out in a cold sweat.
