Nameless King

"Huh, you\'re putting me in a quandary." Wain muttered as two creepy wings appeared on his back.

"I just want to see a fight where each side has a chance to win, not how you beat them up."

Luar and Agnes prepared for the fight. She activated Beyonds and stared at Wain.

"Well, let\'s see what you can do." Wain muttered.

He flapped his wings and was instantly next to Agnes. She reacted and attacked prematurely.

Wain bent down slightly, her fist flying in front of his face. He grabbed her fist and threw it with all his might. Agnes tried to regain her balance, but she needed time. Wain wasn\'t about to let her go, a phantom snake tail appeared over Agnes and fell on top of her.

Whoooooooosh.

Luar ran up to Agnes, he created a golden shield, but suddenly the serpent\'s tail changed its trajectory. It curved and struck Agnes from the left instead of from above. The impact threw Agnes back, and she was buried under the wall\'s rubble.

\'Not bad. I couldn\'t even think of doing something like that before. This training was much more useful than I thought it would be.\' Wain said inwardly.

"Damn, this is bad." Luar bounced back.

He put up a shield and helped Agnes to her feet. She wasn\'t hurt much, Beyond\'s energy protected her, but there was a bright mark on her body like a whiplash.

"Are you okay?" Luar worried.

"Yeah, I can take a few more of these blows, but sooner or later, he will break through my defense, then we lose."

"Let\'s attack from both sides. What do you think of that?" Luar suggested.

"Okay, that should work."

Agnes and Luar looked at each other, then attacked Wain. Luar was on the right, and Agnes was on the left.

Wain did nothing. He stood still and watched them approach him. Powerful auras emanated from Luar and Agnes, the two of them having enough power to defeat most of the creatures in Second Chronicle.

"Take that!" Agnes and Luar attacked simultaneously.

Wain smiled as he stepped forward. His hands turned into a blur, and a moment later, Luar and Agnes were on the other side of the room.

They spurted out a mouthful of blood with an obvious palm mark on their chests.

\'What the fuck just happened?! Luar shouted to himself.

\'Get up. This isn\'t over. Are you really going to give up after missing just one punch? This isn\'t serious." Wain smiled.

He clenched his palm in a fist. A dark electric sphere appeared in the air, gradually increasing until it reached its maximum.

Normally when Wain used Thundering Dissension, a pillar of thunder came crashing down, but this time was different.

The sphere turned into two lightning bolts. They headed toward Luar and Agnes.

"Shit!" Luar exclaimed.

Despite the pain, he got up and stood in front of Agnes. He created a protective barrier, single-handedly taking the full impact.

The barrier was strong, it was able to block the first lightning completely, but the second one broke through it like fragile glass.

Luar knew this would happen. He was ready to receive the blow to protect Agnes.

Whooooooosh.

Agnes swung her arm and threw the lightning bolt aside. It slammed into the wall. There was an explosion, but no one was hurt.

"Maybe we should call it a day." Wain looked at Osvald.

"Yeah, you\'re right. That\'s enough." Osvald nodded, "You did pretty good."

"What, is this a joke? We couldn\'t even hit him! Shit!" Luar slammed his fist against the wall.

"You lost, it\'s true. However, you don\'t need to be so pessimistic. You acted together and defended each other twice. You ended up with only one wound for two, though it could have been many times worse."

"Luar, Osvald is right. Honestly, I didn\'t even see that Wain\'s punch. Unfortunately, we don\'t stand a chance against him."

Luar lowered his head with a frown. He wasn\'t happy with the result. So was Agnes, but she was better able to contain her emotions, though the resentment of defeat ran deep inside her.

\'Good, that\'s what it takes.\' Osvald thought.

"Wain, I want to make a wager with you."

"Hmm? What is it this time?"

Osvald pointed three fingers.

"In three months, you\'ll fight again, and I promise the two of you will kick your ass."

"Huh, are you sure about that?" Wain looked at him in disbelief.

"Absolutely. In ninety days, you\'re going to be defeated. It\'s definitely going to happen."

"Okay, we\'ll see what happens." Wain shrugged, "I gotta go."

"Sure." Osvald walked over to Wain.

They shook hands, and Wain opened the portal and left the area.

"So, are you ready for training?" Osvald pronounced.

"Yes." Luar and Agnes responded simultaneously.

"Mr. Osvald, are we seriously going to have to stay here for three months...?" Agnes asked.

"Of course, forget everything for that time. You shouldn\'t worry that something bad will happen to your friends and mates without you. You have to have faith in them and focus on your progress. These three months will be hard but effective. I promise you that!"

Tremble.

Suddenly space shuddered as a spatial passage appeared in the air.

\'Hmm? Has Wain decided to come back? Has he forgotten something?\' Osvald pondered as he stared at the passage.

However, it was not Wain. Out of the passageway came the one to whom Osvald had recently given the key to his area. It was Keith.

"Oh, I guess this is a bad time..." He looked at the puzzled Luar and Agnes, "Sorry to interrupt."

"No, no, you came just when you needed to. We were just about to start training, join us. These two can learn a lot from you." Osvald smiled quite a bit.

"Then how about we start right now?" Keith\'s aura intensified, "Mr. Osvald, I respect you, you\'re a great fighter. That\'s why I want to fight you. It will be a great example to your students of how to fight."
