Nameless King

Chapter 1048 Information



"What is that?" Marlis muttered curiously, looking at the strange spear in Nitra's hands.

"Kind of reminds you of the fight with Polosa, doesn't it?" Wain smirked as he glanced at Sven.

Sven shook his head, "They're different, it's obvious even to a blind man. That spear won't give her regeneration or take anything in return. As far as I know, it's her personal design from parts of the Tree."

Osvald's eyes went wide, "What...? As far as I know, Constructs treat the Tree like something holy. They absolutely have a ban on using it as a material!"

Sven nodded, "Yeah, you're right. The thing is, this spear isn't made from that Tree."

Sven looked calm, but, the things he was talking about were of critical importance. No one among them, not even Wain knew of the existence of the other Tree.

"Hmm?" Marlis's raised an eyebrow in confusion, "In this world somewhere there is a hidden area where there is another Tree only a black one?"

"No..." Sven shook his head, "Nitra's spear is black because that's what the materials were and they became that way because of the fire."

All eyes were on Sven, waiting for his next words.

"I wasn't sure of the truth of this information, but in the main library of the Arkan World, I found one ancient book. I don't even know who wrote it, but, the gist of it is that it talked about the previous Tree of the Construct World."

Sven continued, holding his hands behind his back, "The Progenitor of the Undeads, he was the one who burned the previous Tree. Apparently, after a fire, only a small part of any tree, even the greatest, remains, just surviving ashes. Nitra gathered it together and combined it with technology to make his spear."

"The progenitor of the Undeads...?" Marlis muttered in disbelief, "Damn if Plants are the most quiet and pacifist race, the Undeads are the most secretive. You never know what's going on or what they're up to, they always have their own agenda."

"You're wrong." Sven said sternly.

"Agh...?" Marlis tilted her head, she hadn't expected such a harsh answer.

"The Undeads, all of them, without exception, have one single purpose for which they are willing to do whatever it takes, and that is to gather information." Sven said seriously, "They call me an informant, and that is no mistake. I actually know a lot of things that others wouldn't even think of."

Sven shook his head, "However, compared to the Progenitor of Undeads, I am deaf, blind, and dumb. The amount of information he possesses... damn, I can barely imagine that amount."

"Hmm? Information gathering?" Osvald raised an eyebrow, "Could that be the main goal? I mean, it's not power or might or immortality or control... Information is important, but it's only a tool, not the ultimate goal."

Sven nodded, "Sure, from our point of view it is like that. However, it's different for them. They rarely participate in anything, but, they are constantly watching, always and everywhere, they operate from the shadows. In the end, it's that style that makes them the best assassins."

Wain smiled bitterly, "Yeah, I agree. The information allows them to understand what the current situation is so they know what to do. I doubt chaos and total control is what they want. They need the world to stay the way it is, it's the only way they can continue to do what they love."

Sven, Marlis, and Osvald nodded silently. In terms of action and influence, the Undeads truly had a peculiar position. If they wanted to, they could even change the outcome of a war without being directly involved in it. Sometimes, information could be the greatest weapon of all.

If someone had informed Olax of Sven's plans and treachery before the First Great War, the whole story would have changed because of a few words from a trusted source. However, this did not happen, which also showed the importance of the information.

Those who were in leadership positions always had to realize how the Undeads treated them. To be the enemy of a race that knew almost everything about everyone was a big mistake.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The random lightning discharges coming out of Nitra's spear caused ripples in the air. The natural color of Nitra's lightning as well as energy was blue, however, that changed with the spear. The electric discharges flowing through her hands were now black, not reflecting light at all.

Liang was not worried, he stared intently at Nitra, watching her every action. Unlike the Progenitor of Undeads, he didn't know about the existence of this spear and the history with the previous Tree.

"What is this spear?" Liang asked with mild interest. He needed to know what kind of weapon his opponent used to choose the right tactics.

"It is a remembrance of the worst day of our race." Nitra said with a deadly serious look, "You want to destroy our Tree, but you don't know that once the Progenitor of Undeads already burned one. However, that was a long time ago, and only a few people know about it in all the worlds."

Liang nodded, "I see. So if I destroy your Tree, a new one will grow after a while, right?"

Nitra didn't answer anything, she just frowned, not wanting to give an answer to that question.

Liang sighed, "Well, in that case, I'll have to spend time to find a way to permanently destroy your Tree. You must remember not to anger me, forever and ever!"

Whoooooooosh.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

At the same moment, Nitra rushed forward with great speed, far surpassing the speed she possessed before.

Liang tilted his head back, dodging the spear blade flying directly above his face.

'She's gotten faster... Apparently this spear is giving her a general boost. After all she is a Construct and is connected to the Tree, even if it was burned hundreds of years ago.'' Liang pondered before swinging his sword.

Nitra's pupils narrowed as she instantly reacted and blocked Liang's attack. The spear and long sword collided, creating a shockwave that caused the air to tremble.

Liang and Nitra began a powerful exchange of attacks, they both moved incredibly fast as even Fourth Chronicle One would have a hard time keeping up with their movements.

They looked like two flashes moving across the desert area. Gradually, the sand began to walk in waves from their attacks, every time they moved to a certain point, the desert's landscape would temporarily change.

"Not bad, you've become considerably stronger." Liang calmly said.

"Hah, even in this situation, you're trying to bully me! You're weak!" Nitra exclaimed, as her eyes sparkled.

At the same moment, Nitra became even faster as her hands turned into a blur. Liang alerted, taking a few steps back, but it wasn't enough to dodge the hail of attacks.

Nitra had intended to pierce Liang's heart and end the fight in one successful attack, however, she realized that it was on the verge of impossible. 

So, it was an accomplishment for her when scratches and even cuts began to appear on Liang's body and blood began to gush out.

Liang simply couldn't keep up with her movements, with each successful attack, Nitra used more and more energy, quickly becoming much stronger.

'Oh... If this continues like this, it could be a real failure. I think I should also switch to more serious methods than just swinging my sword.'' Liang pondered with a calm look before raising his sword high above his head.

Then, he brought it down on Nitra with lightning speed.

"Slowly!" Nitra exclaimed confidently, turning into a black flash and dodging the attack.

Whooooooosh.

A stream of wind from Liang's sword swept along the desert, splitting it in two. However, Liang didn't pay attention to it as Nitra was already attacking.

She clutched the spear tightly with both hands as electric shocks ran through it, then she lunged forward, intending to pierce Liang through.

Liang swept her palm across the sword, giving it the power of wind and exposing the sword blade in front of her for defense.

ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm Crackle.

The tip of the spear collided with the sword, sending powerful electric shocks through Liang's body, but they could not seriously harm him.

However, that wasn't all Nitra had prepared for him.

Small mechanisms next to the blade activated, slightly opening like wings and releasing a huge amount of energy that gave Nitra acceleration.

Liang's eyes went wide when the mechanisms simultaneously closed, releasing all the power forward in a single pulse.

'Shit...' That was the only thought running through Liang's mind before a black lightning bolt emerged from the tip of the spear, crashing down on his body.

The impact threw Liang aside, tearing his mantle to shreds and leaving many wounds on his body. The sand he flew over turned into glass crystals due to the electrical discharges of the black lightning trying to tear him apart.

"That's not all... We can't stop!" Nitra took a deep breath again activating the mechanisms on the spear.

The mechanisms opened up on the other side like miniature cannons, and then five dense black lasers flew out of them, raining down directly on Liang, who resisted the lightning.

As soon as the lasers got close to Liang, they exploded, causing powerful streams of black flames and smoke to spread across most of the desert.
