Nameless King-Chapter 825 Scream

The jaws on Wain's sword made even those on the God Stage shudder with fear, but despite this Virion's eyes were fully focused on Wain as his look was calm and collected.

'Hah, he's definitely the opponent I need. Maybe I shouldn't think about it, but I'm glad my opponent is so strong. Even though we all have something that isn't our true strength it doesn't make us weaker.' Wain wondered as a slight smile appeared on his face before stepping forward.

His silhouette blurred as he disappeared. At the same time, many roots dug into the place where he had just been.

Whoooooooooosh.

Wain moved as fast as he could, cutting through every root in his path. It was like a ghost going through even the thickest roots as in a moment they were split into many even pieces. In just a few seconds Wain cut through dozens of roots as he came close to the seed.

In front of the seed were the thickest roots. They didn't try to attack Wain, as if the artifact realized that it wouldn't be able to stop Wain, so the roots intertwined with each other, forming a multi-layered defense.

Everything happened incredibly fast as many of the cut roots had not yet had time to fall to the ground when Wain approached the wooden shield. Then, only a few creatures could follow his actions, but even so, Death Phantom's eyes watched him intently. Death Phantom watched Wain, studying his movements as if trying to learn something from him.

'Damn... This creature is too strange... I didn't expect it to be this fast, but it doesn't seem to be planning to defend the seed. That's good, I need to deal with this problem first.' Wain inwardly muttered as his cold gaze settled on the barrier of many roots in front of him.

'Hey... Though I've already expended all my energy, I can help you in other ways.' The Knight of the Bloody Rose said with a slight smile on his face as the world suddenly slowed several times. The multitude of roots heading towards Wain seemed to freeze while his mind was transported somewhere.

'Hmm...? What's going...?" Wain said to himself while in confusion as his eyes went wide.

The Knight of the Bloody Rose and the Cursed Swordsman appeared beside him. Their silhouettes were vague and unstable as if they could disappear at any moment.

'I don't mean to unnecessarily strain your mind, but you probably won't be able to get through that shield without the right approach,' Knight of the Bloody Rose uttered with a calm look as he crossed his arms.

'Yeah... He's right. Maybe your Gladius' skill and your Beyond have made your sword several times sharper, but that has a disadvantage too.' Cursed Swordsman said sternly.

'What the hell are you talking about?! I don't know how you did it, but everything will be back to normal soon, so if you have something to say do it right now, or don't bother me!' Wain exclaimed with a frowned look as he looked around, but suddenly he realized he couldn't turn his head like it was frozen.

'Idiot. Do you really think we have the power to stop time? The Cursed Swordsman spoke in a mocking manner as he waved his hand, 'Not even a third one can do that, so we just used the power of your mind. In short, we'll give you some advice, then disappear and you'll have a few moments to do as we say.' 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Wain nodded, but it didn't show as he couldn't yet get used to the fact that his mind was a hundred times faster than his body. It was a strange sensation, as though he were outside his body.

'Anyway. Don't try to cut these roots, you might be able to destroy the first few layers, but you definitely can't get to the center that way.' Knight of the Bloody Rose said while pointing at the wooden shield.

'He's right. Try to attack at one point, as if you were holding a spear rather than a sword.' Cursed Swordsman uttered in a serious voice with a slight nod.

'I see... Do you think it will be enough to destroy the artifact?' Wain asked with a slightly worried look.

'Of course not!' Cursed Swordsman said loudly as his eyes turned icy, 'Don't be ridiculous, if you want to do it in one attack then you have to concentrate all your energy on the tip of your sword. I'm talking about your Beyond, one powerful jaw will get you through to the end.'

Wain was silent for a while before he said, 'Okay, I hear you. Now go away, I can already feel my head starting to hurt like it's ready to explode at any moment.'

Cursed Swordsman and Knight of the Bloody Rose said nothing. They just disappeared with slight smiles on their faces as time slowly began to speed up.

Wain understood that he had critically little time, so he acted as fast as he could. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Whooooooooooosh.

At first, he cut all the thin roots that were close to him. They sought to pierce him, so he had to get rid of the threat. Then, Wain stepped forward, and moved his hands slightly to his chest, holding his sword tightly with both hands as if he was going to pierce the shield rather than cut it.

"Wow, I didn't expect him to act so smartly as if someone had told him in a moment." Gael uttered with a dazed look.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The dark sword trembled as a dark sphere of incredibly compressed energy appeared at its tip. It instantly morphed into a ghastly jaw with a phantom body as the air rippled and the jaws on the blade opened wide, letting out another ghastly scream.

At the same moment, the sword reached the barrier as the jaw began to devour the roots, tearing them apart.

'Fine. Though it was difficult, I am certain of success now.' Wain stepped forward with an ice-cold look.
