Nameless King-Chapter 873 Smoke

Each weapon had its energy, but usually, it couldn't be used, so the energy just increased the overall strength of the weapon and nothing more. However, if it was a weapon with a mind like Gladius or Vexa, they had their own energy that they could use if they wanted or give it to their owner to help them, it all depended on the situation.

Whoooooooooosh.

'Hahaha, normally my energy is always mixed with yours, but now I have a unique opportunity to show my pure energy!' Gladius exclaimed with an excited expression as large amounts of darkness emerged from the runes on his blade.

Previously Gladius had only a fraction of the power, so this was the first time he had used his energy since recovering and awakening his memory.

'Go ahead, do as you like, just don't forget that it has to be pretty classy as well. I don't want to kill Gisle with a simple stream of darkness, that would be too boring.' Wain said staring intently at Gisle, who was pacing slowly in his direction. A brutal wind was emanating from Gisle's body, it seemed as if he could disappear at any moment and appear right in front of Wain like a deadly blade.

'Don't worry, I already have an idea. Since it's a friendly fight anyway, I might as well make it so!' Gladius shuddered as darkness began to cover Wain, a dense layer of energy.

"Bastard! You told me yourself that I shouldn't copy Gisle!" Vexa exclaimed angrily as she saw Wain's new appearance, "That's just not fair!"

Gladius heard her, and he just smirked, "Hmm? What's the problem? What a student can't have, a teacher may well be allowed. If I were you, I'd rejoice, since I actually liked your idea!"

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Darkness began to emanate from Wain's legs, arms, coat, and hair as it split into many pieces before the wisps completely disappeared, however, that was only part of it, as smoke began to come out of the sword after a while.

"Hmm? Smoke...? That's something new, I didn't know your sword was capable of that." Gisle's said in surprise as his eyes went wide.

"Well, me too." Wain shook his head as the smoke turned into many different runes on the dark veil that seemed to make no sense, but each rune had immense power.

'Hey, you don't know anything about magic or runes... So, what did you do anyway?' Wain inwardly asked with a worried look.

'Hah, I don't know. I just did what I wanted to do. Try to finish it in a few attacks.' Gladius smirked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

'Fine, I will.' Wain nodded before looking at Gisle and attacking.

Whoooooooooooosh. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

Wain stepped forward, transforming into a dark flash that headed toward Gisle with great speed, intending to pierce him.

'Quick!' Gisle flinched as he jumped aside, dodging the attack at the very last moment.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The dark flash flew on, breaking everything in its path. Trees were smashed into splinters as massive boulders shattered until Wain came to a stop a mile away.

"Damn... I didn't expect to be this fast... Isn't your style a reading power? I didn't expect that from you at all." Wain asked looking at Gladius.

"Hah, I just decided to try something new, it's an experiment. Well, go ahead and kill it, it's time to end it." Gladius smirked.

"I agree." Wain nodded.

He attacked again and a moment later a dark flash appeared in front of Gisle again. Gisle turned into a torrent of wind, but this time he could not fully evade the attack, as he was left with a deep, bleeding cut on his side.

'Fuck! He's too fast! Fine, in that case, I'll do it!' Gisle internally exclaimed as he began to swing his katana around himself, creating many wind blades.

'Hah, decided to create some sort of barrier? Not a bad idea, but it won't help you against me!' Wain smirked, stopped, and put his sword out in front of him, gripping the hilt tightly with both hands.

All the runes turned into streams of smoke, heading for the sword, gradually transforming into a massive dark blade.

'Are you ready?' Wain asked Gisle with his serious look.

'Sure. I am.' Gisle just nodded making his most powerful swing, thus sending a massive windblade at Wain.

Whoooooooooosh.

Wain's pupils narrowed as he took a step forward. From the force of his feet, the ground beneath him cracked as a massive slab of stone rose up behind him, as if Wain weighed several dozen tons, then he lunged forward with lightning speed in a heartbeat reaching Gisle.

On his way, he cut through the wind blades with ease as the darkness around his sword became a bit less, but it was enough to pierce Gisle's heart with ease.

"Agh...!" Gisle's eyes went wide with a sharp wave of pain as trickles of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Shit... It was stronger than I expected..." Gisle muttered from the last of his strength before he fell to the ground.

"Only the best for you." Wain smirked, pinned Gisle to the ground, and swung his sword, tearing his heart apart. At the same moment, all the darkness from the sword erupted outward, a powerful stream heading upward.

The darkness split into many pieces, gradually becoming smaller and smaller until the wisps looked like dark snowflakes falling slowly to the ground.

"Hah, it's actually beautiful..." Gisle muttered with a blank stare, slowly reaching forward as if he wanted to touch them.

Wain nodded weakly, drew his sword from Gisle's chest, and stepped aside, watching with a calm gaze.

The darkness disappeared and when the last snowflake fell to the ground, Gisle's aura suddenly began to increase, multiplying several times.

"Well, for a moment I was really starting to worry that you'd made a mistake, but you're not one to do something that stupid, are you?" Wain grinned as he placed the sword on his shoulder, seeing life appear in Gisle's eyes again.
