Nameless King

"Well, well, will I finally get to see Sven fight?" Wain smirked as fire lit up in his eyes, "I've seen him in action a few times, but it was only crumbs. Come on Sven, show me how strong you really are, that's why you brought me here, isn't it?"

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

From Sven's body came a large amount of white, thick energy that surged up his robe as well as his long blond hair. His blue eyes were completely calm and cold as ancient glaciers.

"Tsk. Whatever, you'll never understand me." Birit frowned, swinging his halberd. A powerful stream of darkness erupted from the blade, rushing toward Sven.

"It's true, we will never understand each other." Sven said calmly, reaching forward slightly, "A worm like you, who knows nothing of the world, just can't compare to one who knows all the secrets."

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Some of Sven's energy turned into several strands that collapsed at tremendous speed against the flow of darkness, completely overwhelming it, then Sven swung his arm slightly and the strands changed their direction.

'Fuck!' Birit's eyes went wide as he prepared to repel the attack.

The threads struck the halberd blade, shattering into small energy particles. A powerful recoil went through Birit's entire body, making him feel an unpleasant tingling sensation.

'Damn, that was powerful, but if that's all he can do then I can beat him!' Birit inwardly exclaimed as he lunged forward.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The flap of his wings created a shockwave that shattered several pillars and caused rivers to pour over the edges.

Sven didn't duck, he waited quietly for his enemy to get to him.

"Not bad speed, Osvald would love to fight you, too bad the only opponent strong enough got me." Sven muttered, sighed, and swung his palm.

His hand was followed by dozens of energy threads that collided with Birit's halberd. The threads were some barrier between Sven's palm and the halberd's sharp blade.

"Shit! Looks like the rumors about your strength were true, such unusual abilities. How did you get your fighting style?" Birit frowned, investing more force and causing the halberd blade to glow with dark flame.

The stone pillar beneath Sven cracked with great pressure, causing him to lower his gaze for a moment.

"Combat style? All I use now is my energy, nothing more. However, if you want to see more, I'll give you that opportunity." Sven sighed, then his second palm plunged into Birit's belly, so fast that the Dragon didn't have time to understand anything.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Energy waves in the form of rings bounced from Sven's palm, getting larger depending on the distance, then Sven turned his palm 90 degrees, directing the energy to a single point.

All of the rings shuddered, turning into a powerful pulse that in an instant collapsed on Birit, forcing him to go through a veritable inferno.

"Argh!!!" Birit cried out in pain as blood gushed from his mouth.

"I hope you like this." Sven said slowly as another pulse headed toward Birit.

Whooooooooooosh.

The impact, threw Birit back hundreds of feet, breaking many stone pillars with his back and ending up in one of the rivers.

"Bastard!" Birit quickly came to his senses as he climbed out of the water with a powerful blast of darkness that destroyed everything around him.

A gash was left on Birit's stomach, even his tough scales couldn't protect him, though it was one single blow.

"Hmm? You don't seem at all happy with what happened. Did I strike too weakly?" Sven said arrogantly, looking down at Birit, top to bottom.

Birit frowned, as the sight of Sven made him truly furious. He wanted to tear him apart and do it in the most horrible way possible so that all his anger would go to him.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Behind Birit appeared a massive magical circle with many ancient runes. The magic circle erupted in purple flame, then a black blade began to emerge from it, a blade big enough to cut the giant's head off in one fell swoop.

Sven watched in silence as a huge halberd emerged from the magic circle, with an eerie aura spreading around it with black strands of energy.

"Maybe you know how to deliver painful blows to a single point, but try to handle it!" Birit exclaimed as he flapped his wings, flying upward. At the same moment, the halberd headed toward Sven.

"Hmm... This power is actually worthy of the leader of the Black Whip. Although I think your ambition is overstated, you are definitely stronger than the other Dragons. Well, it's a shame your opponent turned out to be me." Sven muttered before extending his hand forward.

Out of his palm came particles of white energy that quickly formed a magical circle in the air with the sign of the twelve-pointed star. Then, at each point appeared a small sphere that exploded, launching a dense laser of energy.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The giant halberd shattered everything around it, turning the stone pillars into dust and causing the water from the rivers to flow hundreds of meters away, leaving the rivers dry. When the halberd reached halfway, its blade met twelve lasers.

"Wow! That looks dangerous!" Wain reflexively put up a defense, completely forgetting that he was in a flashback and was literally a ghost. However, his instincts were higher than that, as he understood how dangerous this attack was.

For a moment, the entire space was covered in a white flash that blinded anyone who didn't have time to prepare, then from the place where Sven and Birit were fighting, powerful streams of wind came sweeping away everything in their path.

"Hahaha! It looks like Sven finally got a little more serious! After all, their leader was no ordinary opponent! I'm even a little jealous!" Osvald laughed with an excited expression, taking the wind with his broad chest.

"Damn... I can never get a good night's sleep..." Marlis muttered, gradually waking up, "Sven is fighting, right? Well, this could be interesting, I should see what happens next." Marlis smiled slyly.
