Nameless King

Chapter 1053 Black Pillar



Any battle, especially a dangerous or important one, always had room for wounds, often quite serious or fatal. Sometimes, a single successful attack could end a fight as a sword pierced an opponent's heart or severed a head. Well, these were extreme examples.

An experienced fighter fighting an opponent of similar strength would never let the fight end that way. So, most often the outcome was other wounds and the fight between the Progenitors was no exception.

On the contrary, when Sven fought Polosa, the Queen of Plants received dozens of wounds, much more than Sven because she possessed regeneration. When Alucard fought... well... for him, getting wounded was a real fighting style that only he alone had mastered perfectly.

Everyone had different regeneration as well as defense, so different opponents needed different damage to reach the critical point.

In Nitra's case, she had already reached her limit.

As a Construct, she could easily regrow a new limb or reattach a severed arm or leg. Scratches and cuts weren't a problem for her either, in time she could repair them, but that didn't apply to organs.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Tiny mechanical particles, trying to repair Nitra's wounds. Liang's fist strike, destroyed part of her face, ripping out her jaw, as his kick with his foot from above, tore apart part of her torso.

After absorbing an almost limitless amount of energy and utilizing his unique Spirit. Liang's physical power became too great for Nitra's body to withstand even a few attacks. It was beyond her capabilities.

She had lost several crucial organs and they could not be restored, in fact, it could not be done even in a calm situation. 

The Constructs had the best medicine of any race, it was not a problem for them to transplant organs or grow the necessary ones. However, this required a suitable donor, but, there were no Constructs who were as strong as Nitra.

Before meeting Liang, this wasn't a problem since no one could do as much damage to her as him, but now things had changed.

"No... no... no... no..." One of the guardians muttered in fear, "We have to do something... We have to help her right now!"

The keepers were about to rush forward, but the other keeper immediately stopped him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Let me go!" The Guardian exclaimed.

"Calm down. Now we need to come up with a plan on how to protect the Tree. We have to think rationally, as we always have. Whether you like it or not, it doesn't matter, but our leader has already lost..." The Second Guardian said in a calm voice. However, it was difficult and painful for him to utter each word.

The other Guardians got dark faces. They wanted Nitra to win, it would be a real triumph for them because then their Progenitor would be the one who would defeat Liang, The Strongest One.

The Guardians were experienced fighters and some of the strongest Constructs, so they realized that for Nitra everything was finite. Liang was too strong and there was no way Nitra could recover, there was simply no such way.

"But... How can... How can someone as strong as him exist...?" The Guardian fell to his knees in despair, looking at Liang, who was constantly emitting an eerie and overpowering aura.

"Well, it looks like it's time to call it a day. I can't say I enjoyed this fight, you're too weak." Liang arrogantly said, leisurely stepping forward.

"It's actually even a bit disappointing, I thought that the other Progenitor would have enough strength to make me use everything I have for victory. However, our fight was more boring than my and Alucard's exchange of attacks." Liang coldly looked at Nitra, whose body was slowly disintegrating into pieces.

Tiny mechanical particles were falling down, disappearing among the sand. The process was slow, but inevitably, her body could no longer function. She was still alive, but her body was already literally rotting and there was no way to stop the process.

Alucard hovering in the distance smirked, showing his long fangs.

Nitra did not respond in any way, her mind was blank. She didn't try to come up with any plan, for that was unsuccessful. She knew better than anyone that all she had to do was wait for her to turn into nothing.

"Agh... Well, although I'm not quite right." Liang sighed heavily, "During our fight, I saw my blood, revealed my sword and Spirit for the first time in a long time. It's worthy of me showing absolute seriousness for the last attack in our fight."

Sven smiled bitterly, "He could have just waited until he was dead, but he decided to expend extra strength for her sake. Well, I think this attack is going to be incredible."

Osvald nodded.

Marlis sighed, "Well... Honestly, I'm disappointed it ended this way. I mean, they're both Progenitors, why is Liang so much stronger? Damn, if he wanted to, in his current form, he would just tear her apart with his bare hands."

"Wain, what do you think about that?" Marlis turned to Wain as she received a slight chill down her spine.

Wain's eyes were wide open as his gaze was directed to one point while an eerie aura spread from him

Because he was currently only at the Absolute Stage, to Marlis this aura seemed to be of average power, but she could sense its true potential.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"Ah? What's going on? Why do you look so serious...?" Marlis muttered in confusion, but Wain didn't answer her question.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Scarlet energy gathered around Liang's sword as he prepared for the final attack, the most powerful one he was capable of. The threads covering his body emptied considerably as he used most of his reserves for this.

His sword emitted vibrations that made the air and space shake, gradually turning into real shockwaves that swept aside the layers of sand.

However, Wain was not looking at Liang, nor was he looking at Nitra. 

His gaze was directed at Nitra's black spear, which trembled slightly. It was almost imperceptible, even Liang and Sven hadn't seen it yet. But, Zayne could clearly see a light layer of aura that appeared over the spear, as if it was preparing for some kind of change.

Whoooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, the aura of the spear disappeared, as if it had moved somewhere. Then, the massive core of the Tree shone brightly with blue light, spreading energy pulses throughout Construct World.

The pulses were not intended to protect Nitra or help her in any way. In fact, they caused significant damage to multiple cities.

Each pulse passing through Construct World, destabilized the cities' defenses, machinery, or even factories that were important to Construct society.

But, the pulses had a purpose, they were looking for something, something like themselves.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the entire world shook as if in a massive earthquake or the rebirth of something significant.

"What...? What's going on?" Liang muttered he was as puzzled as the others. He looked at Nitra, but she wasn't doing anything, in fact, she was more surprised than anyone else.

Liang frowned, he realized something bad was happening, so he took a step forward, about to bring his sword down directly on Nitra. He wasn't going to wait for the situation to change out of his favor.

'Maybe she's dying and has no chance of survival, but, I know better than anyone how impossible things are sometimes possible...' Liang muttered internally, raising his sword high above his head.

Then, in the distance, at the very edge of the Construct World, something amazing happened.

A pillar of black flames erupted, easily reaching the heavens in a heartbeat. The core of the Tree stopped releasing pulses, and Nitra's spear was suddenly covered in dark fire.

At the same moment, the tip of Liang's sword touched the ground.

The entire desert trembled again as the sheer power of the attack caused a devastating explosion, emitting endless streams of dense red aura.

Everything was finite for Nitra, but even so, there was no longer fear in her eyes, nor were they empty.

As the black flames lit up, something else appeared in her eyes, it was hope.

Whoosh.

Despite her hopeless situation, Nitra tore forward, dodging the waves of explosions and streams of red aura at the last moment.

Liang's energy like a wild beast tried to reach Nitra and tear her apart, but she managed to escape the clutches of death at the very last moment.

ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm All that was left behind her were massive waves of sand hitting each other due to the terrifying power of Liang's attack and red energy chaotically spreading around.

'Maybe I'm done for now, but a long time ago this kind of thing was felt by every Construct! When our Tree was burned we thought our race was over, but, our story continued!" Nitra inwardly exclaimed, looking at the pillar of black flames.

Whoooooooosh.

Liang appeared behind her, with a cold stare attacking once more. Nitra had no chance to dodge, so she decided to disengage and blast her left arm.

Liang had to stop for a moment to defend herself, and that gave Nitra a few seconds to increase the distance between them.
