Nameless King

The black robot samurai did not expect to be attacked with an explosion. But that didn't mean he couldn't block the attack. He put his sword out in front of him, covering the most important parts of his body with it. Thus, after the blast wave had passed, someone could see the redness on the armor of the black robot knight. Because of the high temperature, his armor was red-hot, but it did not begin to melt.

'He was able to withstand such a powerful attack with almost no damage. Moreover, his sword was only slightly heated. It is made of stronger and higher quality materials than the robotic layer of his body. This is impressive. The Destruction Sword probably won't be able to cut through his armor, much less his sword'. Wain thought.

Immediately after that, the black robot samurai was attacked by two people with cold weapons in their hands. They attacked him with all their might and used their skills which significantly accelerated them. However, they were too slow and weak for the robot samurai.

He blocked each of their blows with one hand, then bounced to the side, and each heard a loud click again. At the exact moment, the head of one of them was blown off.

'Apparently, he can't use this move often. He has to wait a while, like reloading a gun. That's a good thing because even I can't take a hit from that kinetic bullet without serious consequences.' Wain pondered.

​ Wain didn't expect anyone but him to decide to head to the center of the park and challenge the head of the Samurai robots. But, he was content with the current state of affairs. Since he was watching the fight, he could get valuable information without risking himself.

Wain valued information very much. He believed that during a battle, information could be even more important than strength or equipment. If he knew his opponent's strengths and weaknesses, he had a better chance of winning. On the contrary, if he was unaware of some lethal technique of his enemy, he might die for lack of information.

Less than a minute has passed since the battle began, but the black robot samurai has already killed two group members. There were only three of the men left, and you could see the desperation and fear in their eyes. They understood that it was impossible to escape from here, as hundreds of robotic samurai were around the arena. But, they saw no way to defeat the black samurai robot. This adversary was much stronger than they had anticipated.

The rest of the group tried to attack with everything they had. But, the black robot samurai lunged at them, and a moment later, the two severed heads fell. The only one left alive was the guy who was helping the man with the shield from afar. He had no attacking abilities other than his bare fists. So all he had to do was humbly wait for his death.

The black robot samurai slowly paced toward the surviving member of the group. At that moment, Teresa approached Wain. He looked at her calmly.

Teresa seemed confident in her strength, but she still held her rapier firmly in her hand in case Wain decided to attack her.

"Don't you want to team up?" Asked Teresa was looking at the black robot samurai. Pretty soon, he would kill the remaining group member, and then it would be Teresa's turn to fight.

"Haven't you ever heard of knight's honor? These guys built an arena for us and expected us to fight one-on-one with their boss." Wain said with a smirk.

He wasn't going to team up with Teresa. He didn't see any point in it. Sure, the two of them would have an easier time defeating the black robot samurai. But, only one of them could get the soul of such a powerful creature.

Wain was sure that at the crucial moment, Teresa would stab him in the back. Of course, he didn't know what kind of person she was, good or bad, but that didn't matter. After all, that was exactly what Wain himself would do.

Moreover, if Teresa fought first, the black robot samurai would spend a lot of energy on her, and it would be a little easier for Wain to defeat his enemy.

"I see you're a joker. This robot samurai doesn't mind having several people fighting against him at once. Isn't this the perfect opportunity to team up and kill him? Judging by your energy, you also got the seal, and you're powerful." Teresa tried to change Wain's mind.

"That's out of the question. When it comes to soul distribution, you will betray me, or I will betray you. In this case, I am inclined to obey their rules and fight one-on-one. That is my final decision." Wain's last words sounded eerie and cold.

Teresa swallowed and smirked, "So you want to fight one-on-one? Have it your way!"

She turned and stepped aside. Wain shook his head and looked out over the lake. By that moment, the black robot samurai had already finished massacring his opponent. The guy's body was chopped in two, and his blood poured into part of the crystal clear water.

Then several white samurai robots entered the arena and removed the corpses from the black web covering the lake. They cleared the arena for the next challenger.

When everything was ready, the black robot samurai turned around and pointed his sword at Teresa. She was to be his next opponent, but the girl was not going to fight alone. She knew how to assess her strength and understood that she would be mortally wounded even if she won. One strong soul of an unknown condition was not worth such a risk.

So when the black robot samurai pointed his sword at Teresa, the girl shook her head and said, "I refuse to fight, I pass that right to him!"

'Huh, she's got brains.' Wain thought. He didn't expect Teresa to dare do something like that. But, it didn't make much of a difference.

Wain understood that if Teresa refused to fight, it meant that she was unsure of her strength. In other words, even if she fought before Wain, she couldn't do much damage to the black robot samurai.

Wain just shrugged it off. He wanted the black robot samurai's soul for himself anyway. Even if Teresa fought first and almost defeated the monster, Wain would join the battle and kill everyone who stood in his way.

When the black robot samurai was refused his offer, he pointed his sword at Wain. Each of them had the right to refuse to fight if they wanted to. That was one of their rules.

Wain smirked and stepped onto the crystal surface of the lake. The black web had no problem supporting his weight. He could fight to stand on the water as well as on land.

Teresa watched him intently.

'Perhaps I can get the soul of this robotic samurai. But, if this guy can defeat the monster without taking serious damage, I won't get the soul. He'll just kill me.' Teresa thought.

She had come here to get stronger, but survival had always been a priority for her. Money, strength, skills, power, to her mind, none of it was worth giving up her life for.

Teresa was used to acting only when she was sure of success. The only time she acted rashly was during the trial of the World of Darkness.

Thanks to this kind of thinking, Teresa has survived so far and gained a few useful things.

'I wonder what ordeal he had to go through to get the Seal of Darkness? Also, what place did he go to after that?' Thought Teresa looking at Wain preparing for battle.

During her trial, she barely survived but still managed to find a way out of that situation and get the Seal of Darkness. She barely had enough strength to get to the safe zone. She was practically bleeding out.

When Wain stepped onto the surface of the lake, he immediately summoned the Destruction Sword. Wain understood that this sword wouldn't be able to penetrate the armor of the black robot samurai. But, the dark sword could easily cut through the flesh hiding under the armor.

Wain had two options. He could use the Code of Light and Darkness and use that skill to defeat the black robot samurai. But, after fighting this monster, Wain would go to the bottom of the lake. He had to find the spatial rift where the passageway to Void was hidden.

He could sense the energy of the world of darkness, but he had to get close to the energy source to know the exact location. So, Wain decided to save his most powerful skill for later.

If he were to use the Code of Light and Darkness now, he would waste much energy. Wain had another option on how to defeat the black robot samurai.

He had a skill scroll with two more charges left in it. Wain was willing to use the two explosive hammers to defeat the black robot samurai without wasting much of his strength. Wain also had something else he was going to use in this battle.

Wain slipped his hand under his cloak then a small flask of brown liquid appeared in his hand. He didn't want Teresa to know about the magical effects of his ring. Wain had obtained this potion long ago, but now was the moment to use it.

It was the Ant Power Potion, which, once used, increased Strength by ten points for five minutes. Wain pulled out the wooden plug and quickly drank the potion. At that time, Wain's Strength was 25 points. But after using the potion, it went up to 35.
