Nameless King

Nameless King's power was known to every strong enough creature. Not many had had to fight him, but almost everyone knew of his jaws and their properties.

The main purpose of Nameless King's jaws was to pass through and destroy any barriers and obstacles in its path. Ereg's arm would have been torn to pieces of flesh if Wain's jaw had gotten the ability to tear it as long as Gael's.

Gael's jaw did not possess such powerful destructive power. After all, Ereg's body was one of the strongest in the world because he was a Beastfolk.

However, Gael did not look upset, for he had accomplished his task and let his jaw absorb some of Ereg's blood.

Of all the creatures living in this world, many used blood as their weapon, defense, or even healing techniques. Vampires and their fangs came to mind, for to them blood was everything - attack, defense, health, magic, and life.

However, Alucard aside, one thing Vampires couldn't do with their regeneration was divide themselves into equally exact copies.

Yeah, Alucard already knew how to do that, but he had to learn it to save Krana from the grip of the World of Darkness.

Gael's jaw was doing it right now, using Ereg's blood.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Now Ereg is going to be in real trouble." Alucard smirked, chuckling evilly.

Crackle. Crackle. Crack.

Cracks went down the massive jaw, releasing blood. The volume was enough to split into three identical clots, each about five times smaller than the main jaw.

Then, gray ash covered the blood clots, forming the jaws around them, slowly, but they were just as strong and deadly as the main one.

Ereg smirked.

"Hah, is that the best you can do?" Ereg spat out a clot of blood with an excited smile since his blue ghost had already reached 84%.

Gael raised an eyebrow.

"You seem pleased with your result, don't you?"

Ereg shrugged.

"I thought this jaw would turn into something terrifying or use my blood against me, turning it into some kind of weapon. However, all you accomplished was to create a few more small jaws."

Ereg continued with a slight smirk on his face.

"Do you really think I can't handle one large jaw and three small jaws? Furthermore, once I have more ether, you won't be able to get my blood and create new jaws anymore!" Ereg exclaimed.

Gael was silent, it seemed he wanted to fully hear Ereg's opinion before dashing his hopes.

"Wain, what do you think?" Sven smiled slyly, turning to Wain, "Would you use jaws like that if you had the chance?"

Wain shook his head, "Nah, it definitely doesn't suit me. Moreover, I can create jaws from my pure energy, after all, it's one of the foundations of my power. For Gael, it's a unique power that only awakens when the third giant scar is activated."

Wain sighed.

"However, I realize the potential of this ability, unlike Ereg. He hasn't realized yet that his words didn't make sense, or rather... his assumption is full of errors." Wain calmly replied going back to watching the fight.

At the same moment, Gael smirked and glanced at the jaws that hovered above him. Three small jaws were on the bottom, and one large one was on top.

"Hmm? Did I say something funny?" Ereg frowned.

Gael shook his head.

"Nah, you just don't realize that I don't need your blood anymore. I mean... It would speed up the process, but I can manage without it. I only needed a few drops to start the fission, and it won't stop anymore."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The main jaw quivered again as ash condensed around it, covering it tightly on all sides. Gradually, there was so much ash that the silhouette of the jaw completely disappeared under the sphere, which quickly began to take on new details.

After a while, the ash turned into a massive heart within which the main jaw was running like an engine.

Then, in three small jaws, drops of blood appeared out of nowhere, and the heart shone brightly as the main jaw began to work, creating blood for its children.

Only then did Ereg realize the situation he was in and how stupid his earlier assumptions had been.

'Shit... Looks like I'm in real trouble now... If I get to 85% I can probably destroy them easily, but I feel like I've reached a certain barrier. I either need a lot of time to gather energy or a deadly situation... However, even so, I might not make it in time, because if these jaws get too many, they'll just eat me up!''

Ereg was in a difficult situation, as he currently had no way to destroy the ash jaws, at least the main jaw.

"Wait... Can these jaws just grow like mushrooms after rain?!" Nitra exclaimed in confusion.

Alucard nodded.

"Yeah. Such is the effect of the power of the scars, the power of the memory of them, and the long-ago battles that became the foundations and basis of Gael's strength. In fact, Ereg has done an incredible job since he got Gael to use three of the seven scars so quickly. However, now he needs to think about how to get out of a situation like this."

Nila tilted her head.

"Apparently the blue ghost has almost reached the next stage. I could be wrong, but Mr. Ereg will just have to endure for a while, won't he? It's unlikely that the three jaws will pose a threat to him." Nila suggested.

"Stop talking nonsense." Liang coldly said, causing Nila to feel a slight shiver.

Liang waved his hand.

"Don't you realize that it's not Gael who needs to hurry but Ereg. Agh, just watch."

At the same moment, enough blood had accumulated in the three small jaws to come out. It was three tiny clots that merged into one. A new small jaw began to form around that clot, and now blood was being generated in all of them at once.

Ereg's eyes went wide, for not more than ten seconds had passed since the heart had appeared, and already a new jaw had been born!

"Wait..." Nitra muttered with a slight shiver while she made calculations, "At this rate, in eight seconds, a new jaw will be born, and gradually they will appear faster and faster! In a few minutes, there will be several hundred jaws, and they will continue to appear!"

Alucard nodded with an excited look.

"You're not wrong, however, your calculations are only correct if Ereg doesn't start destroying them, but that won't happen."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At the same moment, Ereg decided to change the direction of his energy to create a weapon suitable for destroying the jaws.

The jaws had an unusual shape, so they were difficult to cut, shoot, or blow up without enough power. However, they could be broken, and that required brute strength, not long sharp claws.

Thus, his entire ether turned into combat gloves, thick and massive. Their sole purpose was to increase Ereg's outgoing physical power as well as allow his simple blows to be truly devastating.

Gael smiled.

"Not bad, not bad at all, let's find out if it will be enough!" Gael exclaimed as a fifth jaw appeared above him. The sixth was already ready to appear, it was only seconds away.

Ereg became wary. The small jaw should be much weaker and not as strong as the main one, however, he wasn't sure about that.

All Ereg could do was put all his strength into his punch and try to destroy the jaw. He had no other options left.

'Alright, let's see what I can do. If my strength is enough to break them, then I can wait until the blue ghost reaches 85% of its power.' Ereg pondered with a slight frown before stepping forward.

The fifth jaw ripped towards him, about to devour his arm, up to the elbow.

However, Ereg was ready for it. At the last moment, he pulled his arm aside, allowing the jaw to close right in front of him. The distance between them was less than a meter.

Then, Ereg clenched his fist tightly and with all his might, brought his punch down right into the teeth of the jaw.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The shockwaves spread out to the sides, removing a dense layer of dust from the arena, and clearing it completely.

The bright blue flash from the impact blinded every spectator, and then they saw the result of Ereg's attack.

The jaw cracked, while the kinetic energy mixed with the ether gradually shattered it into small shards. The ash and aura of the jaw tried to resist as the main jaw did earlier, but it wasn't enough to stop the dense ether.

"Excellent!" Ereg exclaimed, thrusting his fist forward and completely destroying the jaw. It disintegrated into tiny shards and drops of blood that managed to appear inside in a few seconds.
