Nameless King

Nicole was different from most monsters because she had a special origin and an even more special personality, she was like a sweet girl, a little crazy, with a wild beast sleeping inside that could break free at any moment.

Crackle.

The plates on Wolf's chest shattered into tiny shards as his face twisted in pain. Nicole's single attack did far more damage to him than all the previous ones combined.

'Shit! I've got to do something! The wolf internally exclaimed as he swung his icy blades about to cut Nicole, but she just stopped him, gripping the crystals tightly.

"Hah, you think you can hurt me with that again? Don't be so cocky! You're just a simple monster who thought he was stronger than us because of a higher Chronicle!" Nicole exclaimed, swinging her arms in a heartbeat, thrusting the ice crystals of the Wolf into the ground.

'What...? Where did she suddenly get such enormous power from?! Last time she couldn't even block my attack! Wolf exclaimed inwardly, trying to pull his blades out, but Nicole wasn't going to wait for him to do it.

Whoooooooooosh.

Nicole's claws dug into Wolf's chest, leaving deep wounds on it, then Nicole abruptly turned and kicked Wolf in the jaw, throwing him back a few feet.

Frigus didn't even have to do anything as he just watched the battle with a calm look while his icy sword disintegrated into tiny shards.

'Well, looks like there's no point in me fighting anymore. Nicole can deal with it herself... but it looks pretty dangerous.' Frigus muttered inwardly as he watched Nicole continue to take many blows at the Wolf, 'I hope Wain knows what he's doing as there won't be anyone left to save... Nicole will just tear him apart.'

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Black fur flew off to the side as well as clotted blood from the terrible wound on Wolf's chest. Even though his situation was critical he wasn't going to give up and fought to the very end, though he didn't stand a chance against the enraged Nicole.

'Fuck... I can't feel my arms anymore... I've lost too much blood, at this rate I'll be dead soon...' The wolf muttered internally as he swung his blade, but Nicole easily dodged by crouching slightly and sinking her sharp claws into his stomach.

'No... She's too fast... After all, our powers aren't equal at all, if we were on the same level she would actually kill me in one attack...' The wolf muttered inwardly as streams of dark energy flowed away from him.

The darkness turned into several sharp blades that rained down on Nicole at great speed, but she just brushed them aside with a wave of her hand.

"Hah, you seemed totally desperate if you decided to use the darkness against me." Nicole smirked as she struck again.

As time passed, more and more wounds appeared on Wolf's body, and Nicole didn't really intend to stop. His ribs were visible through the cuts on his chest as well as his bones through the wounds on his arms and legs, Nicole was literally tearing parts of him off with her claws.

"Hey, don't you think this has gone too far?" Reto asked with a worried expression, "I mean... Nicole is really crazy, in a few attacks she'll kill him, that's for sure."

"I agree. I thought we were going to save him, not watch him get slowly torn apart, maybe it's time to stop her?" Sarras shouted, crossed his arms, and turned to Wain.

Wain only smirked, "Don't underestimate him. He's been able to survive for so long with two attributes, so his body is much stronger than you think. What's more, this is exactly what mortal combat should be like, look at his blood, it's all coming to a close."

The wolf was already struggling to move, but he still tried to counterattack and block Nicole's attacks, obviously, it was unsuccessful since Nicole was several times faster than him, but he didn't give up.

Whooooooooooooooooosh.

Nicole threw Wolf to the other side of the room and was about to attack again, but suddenly she stopped and her eyes went wide.

"What is this...?" Nicole muttered in disbelief as she stared at the distorted space around Wolf. His body was literally absorbing energy from his surroundings, filling his blood with new power. Normally in combat, this would be impossible because it was necessary to concentrate, but in this case, it was not the Wolf, but his body, which urgently needed energy to survive.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Wolf's aura rose sharply as blue and dark streams appeared around him that covered him and rushed upward like flames. Blood was still flowing from his wounds and his breathing was heavy, but his eyes were sharp and cold, getting progressively deeper. His gaze fell on Nicole, making her flinch in what was an absolute shock to her.

'No! How can he get stronger so fast?! I have to end this right now or I'll actually lose!' Nicole inwardly exclaimed as she lunged forward, coming down on the Wolf, like black lightning.

Nicole's claws turned into a massive dark sword that should have cut the Wolf in two in a moment, but suddenly a silhouette appeared in front of her who with two fingers stopped her.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The collision between the sword and the silhouette created a powerful shockwave that sent massive cracks across the stone floor.

"Hey, Nicole, have you forgotten that we were going to save him, not kill him?" Wain grinned as he glanced at the puzzled Nicole, "Hah, I'm just kidding. You did a great job. If it wasn't for your real rage, it wouldn't have gone to the limit, but it's enough now."

Wain waved his hand, tossing Nicole aside, and walked over to Wolf whose gaze was already almost blank.

"Here we go. A good fighter deserves a reward for a great fight, doesn't he?" Wain smirked as a blade of darkness appeared in his hand and slashed his palm, aiming drops of blood at Wolf's jaw.
