Nameless King-Chapter 874 Fifth Chronicle

Gladius and Vexa fought for a long time, but it was all just for them, in the real world only a few moments passed in which sparks from the clash of swords flew a few centimeters away.

'I'm all done, now his weapons are definitely ready for the changes that follow.' Gladius said seriously, reporting back on the work done.

'Fine, now it's time for him to get stronger. I'm sure when Gisle reaches the Fifth Chronicle things will change completely.' Wain said inwardly with a slight smile before stepping forward.

Whoooooooooosh.

He swung his sword, throwing Gisle back, then he rushed forward, bringing the sword down on Gisle from above.

'Shit! I won't have time to block!' Gisle exclaimed to himself as suddenly the blade of his katana shone brightly and his reflexes became much clearer.

'Don't worry. Now I'll help you the way I'm supposed to.' Vexa said calmly as the next moment the flow of wind accelerated Gisle's arms, allowing him to block Wain's attack.

Clang.

Wain's sword stopped right in front of Gisle's face, and the glint from the blade reflected in Gisle's eyes, wide with surprise.

'Vexa...? What was that?" Gisle was shocked as he didn't understand what had happened.

"Well, well, it would be rude of me not to give you some time." Wain smiled, shook his head, and turned into a blob of darkness, moving a few meters away.

'In short, they did the same thing to me as they did to you. Gladius invaded my space and beat me several times, but thanks to that I am much stronger now and understand what I need to do.' Vexa said with a serious look as she crossed her arms across her chest in her space.

'Hah, looks like Gladius has been very kind. No one but him would do that.' Sven grinned.

Vexa's eyes went wide as she couldn't believe what she was hearing, but she sighed and nodded slightly, 'Yeah, you're right. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Gladius actually turned out to be kind. Gisle, we've both been through the changes already, but there's still one more thing left to do. Tell me, what must you do to reach the Fifth Chronicle?'

'Well, my condition is very simple, but at the same time so damn unpleasant and complicated.' Gisle shrugged as if it were something insignificant, 'I must die.'

"WHAT?! Vexa exclaimed in disbelief as a shiver ran through her body, 'You're kidding, right?'

'Nah, I'm totally serious, at first, I had the same reaction as you, but that's not all. It's my last condition and it would be too easy, wouldn't it?' Gisle smiled inwardly as his eyes sparkled.

'Hmm? Well, maybe you're right... If it were that simple, you'd just slit your own throat or throw yourself off a cliff or something like that. What's the extra condition?' Vexa muttered with a thoughtful expression.

'I have to die it's true, but it doesn't have to be suicide. Basically, I have to die in combat, at the hands of the one I want to fight the most. Obviously, Wain is the only appropriate option.' Gisle said as fire lit up in his eyes.

'What...? Are you sure about this? I mean... What happens if you're wrong? Maybe, Wain isn't the one you should be fighting... in that case, you'll actually die, won't you?' Vexa asked with a worried look as she pressed her palm to her chest.

'Don't worry. I don't care what the system or this world thinks, the most important thing to me is my feelings and the only one worth killing me is Wain!' Gisle exclaimed inwardly with an excited look before rushing forward.

He quickly ran at Wain and said, 'Wain! Don't you dare stop until the very end! Don't even be afraid to kill me, it's okay!"

Wain was puzzled for a while as he tilted his head, but he quickly guessed what Gisle was talking about.

"Fine! In that case, I'm not going to hold back. Show me a better fight before my sword pierces your heart!" Wain exclaimed, emitting a majestic aura that would have stunned anyone, but Gisle didn't stop for a moment. He continued to run forward while the wind gathered around his katana. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Gisle had no energy, but Vexa still had some reserve, so she could use it to help Gisle inflict as many wounds on Wain as possible before defeat.

Whoooooooooooosh.

Gisle stepped forward, turning into a flash as in a heartbeat he was right in front of Wain, aiming his katana at his neck.

"Good choice, but too risky!" Wain smirked, sighed, and brought the sword out in front of him, gripping the hilt tightly.

The katana slammed into the sword, unable to advance further as many sparks flew off to the sides.

'Not bad, you've actually gotten much better.' Gladius said with a sly smirk, 'However, as I said earlier, it's serious now!

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Suddenly Wain's sword sent vibrations through the air and the next moment there was a shockwave that knocked Gisle aside. He was confused, but quickly pulled himself together and landed on the ground as if he'd planned to do it.

"Wow, that was Gladius, right? Hah, not bad, but we can do some things too!" Gisle spoke as his voice spread throughout the forest, then his katana trembled.

A calm air began to emanate from Vexa, which gradually covered Gisle, making him much stronger and especially faster.

"Well, well, now he looks more like a weapon than a man. Gladius, let's do something similar. Even though I didn't want to use energy at all, but technically it'll be you and not me, right?" Wain smirked as he stared at Gladius, "I just can't miss this chance. I have to make his death as beautiful as possible!"

'Hehehe, I don't need much convincing. I agree to do it right here, right now!" Gladius exclaimed as the runes on his sword blade glowed brightly in violet light.
