Nameless King

Gisle\'s words stunned everyone here, especially Erza herself, whom he addressed.

"What?! What nonsense are you talking about?" Erza exclaimed as her slits turned red.

"Hmm? Are you really retracting your words?" Gisle uttered as he tilted his head in a confused manner.

"No... I mean... I\'m not sure that\'s possible... How can you even ask for something like that...?" Erza muttered in a trembling voice as she looked at Wain.

He was as surprised as the others, but his eyes quickly became calm as he realized this was his chance.

"Erza, maybe it\'s time to give someone a chance? Also, are you really afraid of losing to a man? Is such a thing possible? Huh, Gisle is just a politician that spends all his time behind papers, handing out orders. For a fighter like you, it would be an easy win." Wain grinned as he shrugged as if saying the obvious.

\'Hmm? Give him a chance? So he doesn\'t mind Gisle offering me this...? Damn this is so weird...\' Erza muttered inwardly as she glanced at Gisle, \'Maybe Wain is right, but this guy, is he really capable of making me feel the same way? Shit! What the hell am I thinking?! This doesn\'t make any sense! I\'m not going to lose either way!

Gisle squeezed her hands tighter as he grabbed her palms and asked, "So... Are you in or out?"

"Hah, of course, I agree. Don\'t even dream of beating me!" Erza grinned as she crossed her arms with her head back in an arrogant manner.

"Damn, this is getting interesting." Aurora muttered before waving her hand.

A massive purple dome emerged around the arena as magical circles appeared on the walls of the training area.

"I hope you will fight from all your strength, so you may not hold back." Aurora said as she headed outside the arena, "Gisle, don\'t forget, it\'s not just your date that\'s being decided now, it\'s also the prospect of our cooperation."

"Sure, but if I were you I\'d already been thinking about setting up portals between our cities since I wouldn\'t have come here if I hadn\'t been sure of winning." Gisle shrugged as he stepped a few meters away.

"Huh, you\'re too cocky. I don\'t know what you\'re up to, but even if you win, you\'re still not the type that I prefer." Erza grinned as she released some of her aura.

"Well, a minute ago you were sure you\'d win, but now you\'re assuming other options, so things can change." Gisle said with a slight smile on her face.

Clap.

Wain clapped his hands as everyone turned in his direction, "Maybe it\'s time to start already? All that matters now is how you perform in battle, isn\'t it?"

"Yeah. You\'re right." Erza nodded as she prepared for battle. Gisle did the same.

\'Oh, looks like someone\'s in a hurry, yes?\' Gladius uttered in a sly voice.

\'Well, the sooner they\'re done the sooner I can talk to Alice, then I can get back to Last Light and do what we set out. I hope on it.\' Wain muttered inwardly.

\'It\'ll probably be all right.\' Gladius said in a calm voice.

Wain, Ern, Aurora, Alas, and Alice were outside the dome, so they could watch the fight without worrying about their safety. They had all seen Erza\'s power many times before, so their eyes were fixed on Gisle.

"Looks like I\'m the main star tonight, right?" Gisle muttered.

"Hah, I won\'t let you shine for long." Erza uttered with a serious look as she released her energy.

Her black-red hair rose upward as if from a powerful current of wind as dark spheres appeared beside her causing space near her to distort.

"Wow, impressive. However, such darkness won\'t be enough to outshine a bright star like me." Gisle uttered as he turned to Aurora, "You want to see what I can do, right? Well, I\'ll show you, the power of a dictator as you."

Gisle stretched out his hand as his pupils flashed.

Whooooosh.

At the same time, powerful currents of wind were directed toward his palm. They all connected as a long katana appeared in Gisle\'s hand, and an incredible amount of pressure emanated from it.

The blade of the katana was long, with an unusual pattern on it. The garde was like a stream of wind and the hilt was gray with three red crystals.

Click.

Gisle snapped his finger, and a description of his weapon appeared above the arena.

[Wind of Greatness (Legendary Rating, Fourth Chronicle)

This unique weapon is unlike any other. Like its owner, this katana is the embodiment of arrogance, strength, and trickery with ruthlessness.

The katana was created by a young blacksmith, but who had already touched true craftsmanship, and under the pressure of a tough ruler, the blacksmith had to do the impossible.

No materials other than four Legendary Souls were used in the creation of this weapon.

Pure power doesn\'t need anything else]

"What the hell is it...?" Alas muttered while in disbelief.

"A weapon of four Legendary Souls...? Is such a thing possible?" Ern exclaimed with a dazed look.

\'Young smith?\' Wain said inwardly, \'Did Lea really do this? Damn, looks like she\'s already become a great blacksmith.\'

"Hey, is that katana as cool as you?" Alice asked with a confused look as she turned to Dormant Stalker.

"Huh, I don\'t know... It\'s a hard question since my strength is related to yours, but one thing I can say for sure is that this guy is insanely strong. If you tried to hold that katana, but at best your arm would break, at worst you would lose it as the pressure from the katana would just explode your arm." Dormant Stalker said in a deadly serious voice.

Gisle stepped forward and said, "I think we should start with something simple, right?"

Whoooooosh.

​ Gisle smirked as he swung his katana from bottom to top. He was relaxed, but his movement was lightning fast.

Erza\'s body went into goosebumps as her pupils narrowed. She instantly jumped aside and the wind blade flew past her.

The blade slammed into the barrier as it completely absorbed its power, but suddenly a thin crack appeared in the dome.

Aurora\'s eyes opened as wide as they could as she refused to believe what she saw.

Gisle put the katana on his shoulder in a careless manner and with a devious smile said, "Try not to die before our date, okay?"
