Nameless King

It was always the same weather in the Colosseum as nothing should distinguish one battle from another. No matter who fought, the conditions were always the same as the sun shone brightly without any clouds or rain, however, Wain and Reidar\'s duel was unique in every setting.

Reidar\'s power forcibly made the sun disappear and along with it came a massive blue moon just as the darkness that covered the entire Colosseum and a few stars were the only sources of light.

"The moon...?" Wain uttered with a dazed look as he stared at Reidar, "I didn\'t know your race was capable of something like that. It\'s all about the moon sign on your chest, right?"

"Huh, not really. Maybe the sign helped me, but I don\'t know any Axalt that\'s capable of that, except myself of course." Reidar said with a smile on his face as he pointed to himself and nodded.

"Arrogant and cruel, I like you much better now!" Wain exclaimed with an excited look as his aura intensified and his voice like a wave traveled throughout the arena.

"Hmm? Why? Most people don\'t like those qualities you listed, though I\'m not sure anyone likes them at all." Reidar asked with a confused look as he tilted his head in a thoughtful manner.

"Well, in your case, behind those two qualities is what I really appreciate, which is honesty!" Wain spoke in a martial voice as he transformed into a golden beam and headed for Reidar.

"You attack right away, right?" Reidar uttered as a slight smile formed on his face, "Couldn\'t you have let me do it first, I\'ve been waiting so long for this moment, though... maybe it\'s even for the best."

Step.

Reidar stepped forward and his mantle dawned as his silhouette blurred. At the same time, a golden beam reached him as Wain attacked with a sword aimed at Reidar\'s neck.

"How quickly..." Reidar muttered while his all-consuming eyes stared at the blade with dozens of jaws peering out of the darkness, "However, the moonlight is faster."

Whooooooooosh.

His katana was covered in blue electric discharges as his hand turned into a blur. In just an instant Reidar swung his katana several times as many thin streaks appeared on Wain\'s chest.

"Fine, this power is what I wanted." Reidar said in a calm voice before stepping forward.

Crackling.

His palm was covered in lightning as he rained it down on Wain\'s chest with a powerful explosion. The impact threw Wain to the other side of the arena, into desert territory as the shockwave tossed ash aside in waves.

"Argh!" Wain\'s face contorted in pain as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, blood gushed from the cuts on his chest as he flew into the pyramid and was buried under the debris of the massive sandstones.

"Ah... I hope you\'re not dead or it would be too boring an ending." Reidar grinned while walking slowly toward the pyramid.

Even though Reidar only made one attack, it completely stunned the audience since Wain couldn\'t react or somehow counterattack, he just received serious wounds.

"Damn... I didn\'t even get to see anything..." Someone muttered in a dazed with their mouth wide open, "Nameless was moving really fast, but Reidar beat him to it as Nameless couldn\'t even land one hit."

"Well, if Reidar didn\'t have the Form, Nameless probably would have won, but it seems impossible. If Nameless wanted to make the Top 10, he should have picked a weaker opponent for himself." His buddy said while shaking his head.

"Yeah, it looks like Nameless\' fencing isn\'t as high level as Reidar\'s now. Anyway, it was a great fight. Nameless needs a little more practice and he can become the new champion at the Colosseum, but it definitely won\'t happen now." The man in the dark blue robes said with slight annoyance in his voice.

Wain lay motionless under the rubble while blood trickled from his wounds. He could have gotten out at any moment, but something kept him from doing so.

\'Fuck... He dealt with me so easily...\' Wain inwardly muttered while feeling every step Reidar\'s that he made heading towards Wain, \'His sword is actually fast...\'

\'Huh, this guy definitely has great swordsmanship skills, but it\'s still not enough to impress me!\' Suddenly a menacing, arrogant voice rang out.

\'Finally, you decided to talk, I\'ve been waiting for you.\' Wain inwardly muttered as a slight smile appeared on his face, \'Can we beat him? I mean, in a sword fight?\'

\'Sure. Just use my power and trust your instincts. He\'s an incredible fighter, but you\'re something different.\' The voice said in a confident manner.

"Whatever you say." Wain smirked as his aura multiplied.

Step. Step. Step.

Reidar walked over to the pyramid and raised his katana.

"Well, well, looks like I underestimated the power of my attack, though that\'s what should have happened originally, so it\'s time to call it a day." Reidar said in a calm voice while staring intently at the pyramid.

Tremble.

Massive blue lightning struck his katana as the weapon filled with power that caused the space to collapse.

"I hope you can survive this attack, for I would like to fight you again in the future." Reidar whispered with a sad expression before bringing down his katana.

A massive bolt of lightning headed toward the pyramid, destroying everything in its path and turning the sand into transparent crystals.

Tremble.

Suddenly blue rays appeared from cracks in the pyramid as the temperature plummeted below zero and a thin layer of snow appeared on the stones.

"Don\'t worry, it\'s not enough to kill me, for now, we move on to the final stage!" Wain exclaimed as the pyramid shook violently.

Crackle.

The pyramid split in two as a huge icy blade flew out of it that crashed into the lightning one, causing tremendous energy fluctuations.

Waves of energy spread out as the entire arena trembled as if in a massive earthquake.
