Nameless King

Gisle took his katana with him and headed downstairs. His team followed him. They would support him and protect him if Rafe decided to cheat him. They were to fight one on one. It was fair and straightforward. But, Rafe might have tried to win by not using fair methods.

Wain went to the window and looked at Rafe. He was a tall guy with short, brown hair. He had amber eyes.

'Hmm, Rita said he was in underground fights, but his body doesn't look like that kind of fighter. He's pretty thin, to be honest, I expected him to be huge and muscular. That's more of a stereotype than the truth, though. Brute strength is only one of the few factors that make up true power'. Thought Wain.

He headed downstairs, as did the others. He was curious to watch the fight and see who would win. Wain wanted Gisle to win because he would have to spend time intimidating Rafe if he won.

Wain knew that there were two ways to make a man obey him. The man had to respect him and tremble at his power, or he had to fear him as his worst nightmare.

But, Wain considered intimidation a less reliable, though quicker, option. After all, if a person fears him, he would try to betray Wain at a good opportunity.

As Wain walked down, he decided to check the list of skills he could improve. Most of the souls he got from killing the Demonic Ants he gave to Sven. But, before he faced the test of the World of Darkness, he managed to use some souls and gain Soul Essence.

The skill improvement window appeared in front of Wain, but as before, it was empty. However, when Wain checked his skills, he saw something strange. He could unlock Nameless King's Forms.

[Nameless King's Forms (Primary Chronicle Active Skill, Legendary Rating) <Partially Unlocked>]

[This skill hides forms of incredible power and limitless potential. You partially unlocked this skill and got the first form - Code of Light and Darkness form. But, this is only the beginning. It is only the first step on the way to true power.

In order to unlock the next form, you need to fulfill the following conditions -

[Swordsman's Soul Required - 0/1]

'What? Swordsman's soul? What does that mean? Perhaps I can use any soul of a creature that fights with a sword?' Wain was puzzled. Dozens of questions instantly appeared in his mind.

But, after a couple of seconds, his Seal of Darkness glowed brightly again. At that moment, Wain felt a strange aura emanating from the north.

Wain turned in that direction, and despite the dozens of buildings blocking his view, he could see the outline of a passage. Wain immediately realized what had happened.

"Sven said that thanks to the activated Seal of Darkness, I would be able to sense where the spatial rifts are so that I could get to where the entrance to the Void and Neutral Zones is. But, he said that this effect only works for a few meters. Perhaps it's a special effect of Nameless King's Forms, and the seal acts as a compass?" Wain muttered.

​ Wain decided that his theory might be correct. When he thought about finding the right soul to fulfill the condition, he immediately felt a strange energy.

'Hmm, that's good. So I'll always know where to find the materials I need to unlock the next forms of the skill. But, the soul I need seems to be in Void. Moreover, Sven said that Voids are either in hidden places or in Dungeons. Judging by the distance, this place is within the eastern zone of the city, which means that the Void is in the Dungeons'. Wain thought.

He was pleased with the open opportunity to unlock the next form. The Codex of Light and Darkness was an incredibly powerful skill, thanks to which he could become much stronger for a short time.

Wain decided that he would go there as soon as the battle between Gisle and Rafe was over. He had to know who would be in charge at the university.

'There are many promising people at the university, but they are all afraid and don't even fight. As I understand it, only the Gisle group and the Rafe people have already awakened their Soul Altars. The others are just wasting their time and their potential.' Wain thought as he came to the main square between the two buildings.

Gisle was already standing in front of Rafe, holding his katana firmly in his hands. Gisle didn't try to negotiate. He knew it was useless. So he was ready to fight and even kill Rafe if necessary.

Rafe, on the other hand, looked relaxed. He was confident of his victory, and this duel seemed fun to him.

Many people gathered around, almost all of the students, but so were the teachers. They were divided into two equal parts, one supporting Gisle and the other supporting Rafe.

"Gisle, give up. If you leave the university right now, I won't pursue you." Smirking, Rafe said.

"Shut your mouth," Gisle said coldly, and his katana became coated with a layer of energy.

Rafe smiled and prepared to fight. His weapons were knuckles. They were the most common knuckles from the store, not from Soul Chest. Then red energy began to emanate from Rafe, and his aura began to increase. His eyes turned blood red, and all of his muscles tensed and his veins swelled.

His knuckles became covered in a thin, red sheath. Moreover, three spikes of this energy grew on his knuckles.

'Looks like his soul is great for battles, especially one-on-one. No wonder he's considered the strongest by most students.' Thought Wain and lit a cigarette.

He stood in the distance and calmly watched the fight. At that moment, Rita came up to him and asked, "Wain, who do you think will win?"

Wain exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Whoever is worthy of living and fighting."

The next moment Gisle attacked Rafe. He decided to attack first and end this battle quickly. But, Rafe was not so easy to lose in the first seconds of the fight. He deftly dodged the blade of his katana and then launched a lightning strike at Gisle.

Gisle didn't have time to dodge, and Rafe's fist sank into his stomach. Gisle threw up a mouthful of blood simultaneously but quickly came to his senses and counterattacked with a swing of his katana. The energy blade flew toward Rafe.

But Rafe wasn't even going to dodge. He clenched his hands into fists and put them against each other like a shield. The energy blade hit the knuckles, but it couldn't destroy them. The red energy absorbed the blue blade and Gisle's attack dissipated.

"Gisle, I warned you. It would be best if you had gone for good. We can't move on without one single ruler. And it definitely shouldn't be you!" Shouted Rafe and lunged toward Gisle.

Gisle wiped his mouth of blood and calmly said, "I wanted to solve everything amicably. But you only understand the language of force. Then I'll show you how pathetic you and your soul are."

Gisle put his katana out in front of him and closed his eyes the next moment. No one understood what Gisle was doing. In a second, Rafe would get to him and attack again from all his strength.

'Rafe is strong, but he is overconfident and will soon lose. After all, it looks like Gisle has never used his soul skill yet.' Thought Wain.
