Nameless King

"Fate... It has always been against me..." Suddenly Wain spoke as he was barely audible, but his calm voice made the monster flinch with wide-open eyes.

"What...? Ah, yeah... I gave you time to say your last words." The monster smirked as his hand headed forward, "Well, your time is up!"

"No... Those aren't my last words at all, I'm just complaining a little about how stupid I've been." Wain uttered in a calm voice as the world stopped.

The spear was moving toward him with tremendous speed, causing ripples in the air, but now it was moving at the speed of a snail. It was all about Wain's perception as now he was focused only on his thoughts and the pleasant feeling of the cool water that touched his fingers.

'It was my destiny to die in the beginning, but I was able to deal with it, though unknowingly, I opened a portal to another world.' Wain muttered inwardly as he glanced at the streams of water slowly flowing down.

'Devouring, destroying, and consuming... all of these are just tools while my main goal has always been to make my own way, to do that, to fight my destiny I have used my power and everything I can, all the time.' Wain said to himself as his soul erupted as if a dark flame had ignited within him.

Fragments of the memories he'd gone through with each of the forms appeared in his mind. Wain had long ago realized who the dark silhouette was, but what struck him most was an incredible power.

'In the memory of the Light Racer, Nameless King said that in order for someone to fight him that someone must reach the level of the Dragon Progenitor, so... if I want to surpass him and know the answers to my questions I must become even stronger...' Wain said in a slow voice while the water in the river shook harder with each passing moment.

'Hah, that's going to be pretty hard, isn't it? But... when has that ever stopped me? I can't die here, especially not at the hand of someone who is no more significant than a speck of dust compared to the Dragon Progenitor.' Wain muttered as a slight smile appeared on his bloodied face. Then his fingers tensed and he struggled to rise from the ground.

At the same time, the spear almost reached him as the powerful energy caused his skin to crack because of the strongest pressure that a mere human body could not withstand.

Wain looked at the monster with a calm look, as if everything had already been resolved.

'So he's already resigned to death. It's for the best. The monster said inwardly as he narrowed his eyes.

Whoooooooosh.

A massive torrent of dark water came out of nowhere as it swept away and completely engulfed the spear.

'What...? Why is the river helping him? The monster exclaimed to himself with a dazed look, then he calmed down, 'Well, the blast will destroy him anyway.'

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Suddenly there was a strange sound of jaws whose terrifying white teeth emerged from the dark water. They crushed the spear into small pieces, preventing the energy from bursting out and exploding.

The monster's eyes went wide as his whole body trembled. He couldn't believe that anyone other than him could control the river in Death Shore, but Wain had also changed it to suit himself.

"Why are there jaws in this water? There should only be eyes and bones..." The monster muttered in a dazed as goosebumps ran through him.

"Well, I finally realized that they're just my underlings, not my true power." Wain said with an ironic smile on his face as he waved his hand.

The water in the river shuddered and headed toward him in a massive torrent, completely covering him as though a dense veil, leaving only his head outside.

"I have yet to fully understand what I discovered today, but at least I've definitely got my bearings." Wain uttered in a calm voice while his green eyes engulfed the monster. Wain's gaze was majestic but indifferent, the way someone on the level of the Dragon Progenitor would look at his enemy.

The water slowly trickled down, washing Wain's blood from his naked torso and turning into two massive blades in which his blood overflowed.

"I owe you a thank you, just as well as you did before. Thanks to you, I have learned that the purpose of my power and myself is not to devour something like some wild beast, but to make the world adjust to me, or even fate itself." Wain said in a slow way as he held out his hand as if giving an order.

[You Beyond evolved.]

[You no longer need Majesty. No one else, not even the energy of the world, can give you an estimate. You know what you desire and will not stop even if fate is against you. No energy can surpass your natural greatness.]

[Beyond: Calamity (Coelacanth) -> Calamity (Untouchable)]

Whoooooooooosh.

At his will, the two blades headed toward the monster with lightning speed. Behind them remained a dark plume as the blades opened two massive jaws that could destroy even space.

"No! That's impossible! You can hardly stand on your feet! There's no way you can beat me!" The monster exclaimed with a furious expression as he swung his arms that forced massive streams of water out of the river.

They turned into several spears that collapsed on Wain's blades. Before, the spears would have easily destroyed them, but now the blades were completely unarmed as the spears shattered into small fragments before their pressure.

"Goodbye. That was one of the best fights and probably the most enlightening for me." Wain said with a slight nod as a sincere smile formed on his face.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The blades reached the monster and dug into its flesh, tearing it apart along with its bones. The monster tried to resist, but here he was utterly powerless.

"No! I had to leave this place..." The monster muttered an exhausted look as he stretched his arm upward while slowly falling to the ashy ground.
