Nameless King

Chapter 973 Divine Ice



Every battle had to end one way or another. More often than not, one side would win, or there would be no winner at all, as the battle could not go all the way to the end. Sometimes, both lost, but there was always the one who lost the most regardless of the outcome.

"What...? Is he dead already...?" Nicole muttered in disbelief as she crawled over to Gaur. She flipped him over onto his back with difficulty and placed her palm on his bloody chest.

Gaur's body was still as hot as it should be during a fierce battle, but his heart had already stopped beating. It had stopped beating and was the first thing that began to grow cold.

Nicole blinked wide-eyed several times unable to believe that this had actually happened.

"Yay! I did it!" Nicole exclaimed cheerfully with sparkling eyes, but she immediately regretted it as she coughed up blood.

'Calm down, in your condition you shouldn't even be talking, let alone shouting like that.' Erder said calmly as he directed some of his energy to Nicole to help her in some way.

Nicole felt better while her eyes sought to close. She breathed slowly, evenly with pleasure smiling at the pleasant feeling of victory.

'You need to rest, and so do I.' Erder said seriously, giving Nicole the last of what he had.

"Agh... It's so warm in here... it's probably a good place to sink into sleep... sleeping after victory is the best reward..." Nicole murmured softly before closing her eyes.

...

"Fantastic... How the hell did she survive that explosion...?" Reto was completely puzzled, staring at Nicole with his eyes wide open.

"Hah, that's her weapon, that guy protected her." Wain smirked, rubbing his chin, "She's good, even though her fighting style is dangerous, she manages to win every time."

"So... Is this the end?" Felix asked as he looked at Wain.

Nicole's latest attack forced the attention of everyone in the Voids to their fight. Most of the monsters, Beastfolks, and Constructs who were still willing to fight immediately retreated when they saw Gaur lose. No one wanted to experience the power of Nicole.

Wain shook his head, "Not really. I'd say all the battles are over now, Nicole won, Sarras won, and the ice island is securely defended. Hundreds of small battles have also mostly ended in victories for our monsters, but there is still one unfinished fight."

Wain looked out into the snowy wilderness, as did thousands of monsters throughout the Void. They all knew that that was where the last and most important battle was taking place.

The outcome of this battle did not determine the war at all, for it was obvious that Wain's Void had already won. However, the outcome of this battle could change the direction of one of the fighters - the strongest warrior in the entire Void.

Whooooooooooooooooosh.

From the snowy wilderness came cold winds that reached even the farthest reaches of the zone, as well as the hill on which Wain stood.

"Unbelievable... Such dense energy, it looks like Frigus actually has a chance to exceed itself and all possible expectations..." Wain muttered, removing from his cheek the thin layer of ice that left a red mark on his skin.

"Damn... Though he is so far away, his energy was able to affect us. It's incredible." Reto muttered getting rid of the ice just as Felix did.

"Frigus...? Is that one of the leaders of your territories?" Felix asked as he looked around, "Is he even stronger than this girl?"

Wain sighed, "Well, Frigus is a special case. He has a chance of becoming one of the strongest monsters in history, even though he's on the Demigod Stage right now, it's absolutely not his limit."

Felix nodded meaningfully. He was new to their team, he had yet to get to know the others, but he understood that Frigus was very strong.

'Agh, Frgius... You've changed, your attitude towards combat has changed...' Wain muttered inwardly as he watched the two silhouettes fighting in the distance, 'Before you would never have risked so much to try and grab a ghostly chance at a miracle, but now you are actually doing something so reckless that even I am not sure about it.'

...

Step. Step. Step.

A tall man in majestic armor radiating frost stepped forward across the dense ice that had previously been sand. Every step he took gave off a loud crunch from the ice as traces were left on it by the weight of his armor.

His face was emaciated, his body covered in blood as well as the white tips of his hair, but his eyes burned a fire, unlike his cold nature.

'Frigus! That's enough! You must stop doing this! You must use your Form!' Alarmed shouts came from his sword straight into his mind from his closest ally.

Frigus answered nothing he just moved forward, straight toward his opponent who had been expecting the same action from him for some time.

"Swordsman... Apparently, my plan has completely failed and I have lost the war, even if I defeat you it won't change anything..." Keira muttered with a calm stare at Frigus, "However, this fight shouldn't be as obvious. Don't insult me. I've used everything I have against you, but you haven't done it yet."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Powerful electrical discharges appeared around Keira from time to time, rumbling like thunderclaps. After using the Form, she transformed into a true lightning lord with a long trident whose sharp blades could pierce anything.

Her aura was majestic, much stronger than Frigus's, even when he was at the peak of his powers, at the beginning of the battle.

She could have attacked Frigus at any moment, but her ego longed for him to try his best, too. She didn't want her victory to be so bland, without complexity or any kind of accomplishment.

"Agh..." Frigus took a deep breath, "You both don't understand me at all... though I don't blame you..."
