Whooooooooosh.

Wain jumped back as scarlet energy burst from his coat that, with several streams, headed for the wound. The blood immediately stopped as the cut began to heal faster, but it took time.

'What the hell is it...?! Wain inwardly exclaimed, 'Gladius! You must know something about this for sure!

'Yes... I didn't think it would happen so soon. All in all, the situation couldn't be worse.' Gladius spoke in a serious voice, 'As far as I know, Arkans have a strict hierarchy based on strength and achievement, so... meeting Second Rank Arkan is a nightmare. Use everything you've got to win.'

Step. Step. Step.

Amelia slowly stepped toward Wain while her wind blades made space waver.

'Nameless, show me what you can do. Though, the outcome of this fight is already decided." Amelia uttered with an ice-cold look as she disappeared.

Amelia appeared behind Wain with a swift attack as her blades rushed to his heart.

Clang.

Wain's pupils narrowed as he concentrated all his energy on the back of his coat, creating a shadow barrier.

However, the blades easily cut through the thick layer of darkness and reached the coat. At the same time, a wave of energy passed through the coat as the shockwave tossed Wain aside.

"What...? My blades couldn't cut his coat...? How is that possible?" Amelia muttered while in disbelief.

"Huh, it cost me a lot of energy, but it was cool." Wain smirked while looking at his wound.

At the site of the cut, the coat had already almost completely recovered, but the wound was still bleeding a little.

"Your coat is a real treasure. It looks like you're pretty lucky." Amelia muttered as she crossed her blades.

"Are you kidding me? I can't remember the last time I was lucky. You just have to know the right people." Wain muttered with a sly smile on his face, but a moment later, his look turned cold as ice, "Okay, that's enough. I'm not going to hold back. Get ready, this place will be a grave for you."

Tremble.

Gladius returned to the seal as a powerful torrent of darkness burst out of Wain that swept all around. It was like a tornado rushing toward the heavens.

'Well, well, I wondered which one of us would be the last. I'm not gonna lie, I'm glad it wasn't me.' The Black Sun Aristocrat smirked while he looked at the Knight of the Bloody Rose.

A mask appeared on Wain's face as several red curls appeared among his black hair that exuded an aura of blood, then his left eye turned ruby.

'This coat is just perfect, so I won't be replacing it with mine this time.' Black Sun Aristocrat muttered.

'What is this aura...? Why am I afraid?! Amelia inwardly exclaimed as a shiver ran through her body.

In Wain's hands appeared a platinum cane with a massive black sphere on its end.

'It's my favorite one. I hope it will soon be covered in that pesky girl's blood.' Black Sun Aristocrat said in a playful manner.

[Black Sun Cane (Unique)

One of the oldest and strongest artifacts that is known because of its sole owner, a mysterious aristocrat who ruled the strongest city on the continent.

Use this wand to create energy that though black holes, will destroy everything in its path or make your enemies stay in agony in close combat.

Any sun is a star, but not every star is a sun]

"Good. That's certainly your style. I'll see what I can do with it." Wain muttered as he looked at the cane.

Whoooooosh.

Amelia swung her blades as several powerful tornadoes headed toward Wain.

Wain did not retreat, he pointed at the tornado with a calm look, and the black sphere at the end of his cane flashed.

A black sphere appeared in the air as space distorted around it. The tornadoes shuddered, and the wind rushed towards the sphere as though due to the action of the strongest gravity.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The powerful pressure caused the ground to crack as small stones turned into dust, but the sphere suddenly disappeared with the tornado.

'No way... He just did that? That tornado could hurt even a Fifth Chronicle creature!' Amelia inwardly exclaimed with a dazed look.

"If that's all the Arkans are capable of, then I was afraid of you for nothing." Wain uttered with a contemptuous look before stepping forward.

His silhouette blurred as he appeared in front of Amelia with a cane aiming for her head.

Amelia's pupils narrowed as she ducked, so the cane flew over her.

Crackling.

Suddenly Wain twisted the cane in his hand as he hit Amelia's knee with all his might. There was a loud crunch of bones as Amelia's face contorted in horrible pain.

"This is only the beginning." Wain muttered in a deadly manner as he thrust the thin end of his cane into Amelia's leg.

"Agh!" Amelia cried out in pain.

Bam.

Wain's fist smashed on her face with a thick layer of darkness on it. The impact threw Amelia aside as she was covered in dust and earth.historical

"You're pathetic." Wain muttered while looking at Amelia, "Maybe having Second Rank is a big deal to you, but you blew your chance to kill me. If you had come a few hours ago, I wouldn't have had a chance, but now... Just die!"

Wain swung his cane as three massive black spheres appeared above Amelia.

Amelia's eyes widened as she tried to get up and run away, but the pressure from the three massive spheres was as though from an entire planet, so she didn't stand a chance.

Wain continued to infuse the spheres with energy with the pure intention to kill Amelia right now.

Whoooooosh.

Above Amelia appeared several small ice crystals that quickly turned into a five-layer ice barrier that as though a dome covered her. At the same time, the spheres exploded with a deafening explosion that caused a monstrous shock wave.
