Nameless King

Chapter 1128 The Early Scar

Everyone who held a high position in this world knew of Gael and his unique ability. His scars were his uniqueness, though everyone knew how his power worked.

In order for a new scar to appear on Gael's body he had to take serious damage, so much so that it would permanently affect his powerful body comparable to the bodies of the strongest. He was one of them, after all.

During his fight against Ereg, this had already happened once, but then Gael had only received a large scar. Also, it was the large scars that were active now, covering his entire body and filling him with power.

He could heal almost any injury if he would donate some of his scars, but sometimes the situation could be really desperate.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

In a heartbeat, Ereg crossed the distance of a few dozen meters and found himself right in front of Gael.

Everything happened so fast that there wasn't even a sound, it just didn't keep up with Ereg's actions, and only a few people were able to realize what had happened.

Gael's pupils narrowed as he was ready to act as well as his ashes. He had to defend himself from this deadly attack.

However, before Gael could do anything, Ereg had already finished his attack. His palm covered in green energy effortlessly passed through Gael's neck, causing his head to fly upwards.

Ereg's momentum was so powerful that he stopped after only a few meters, leaving a long trail of cracks and deep streaks on the rugged dark granite from his feet.

Gael's head flew high up, leaving a plume of blood behind it, spinning vigorously in the air.

It seemed that the world then hovered and changed completely. The audience's eyes were wide open as they looked at something that shouldn't have existed, that simply shouldn't have happened in any universe.

They were both Progenitors and were on the Transcendence Stage, by all laws they should have been roughly equal opponents. Up until this point, everything had followed these rules, however, suddenly everything changed.

When two opponents of the same status and roughly the same strength fought, everyone expected to see a long fight. This was logical because a quick victory was only possible if one of the combatants was significantly weaker or stronger. The same applied to serious injuries.

If Ereg had been stronger than Gael, no one would have been surprised by what he did, but just that he was much weaker! Gael literally overpowered him, because when the black ash appeared it was obvious to everyone who was the stronger of the two of them.

However, everyone realized that what they were seeing was reality and not an illusion or fantasy.

Just one attack was enough to decapitate the one who bore the title - The Invincible.

"No way..." Nitra muttered while her eyes darted as the mechanisms within them moved rapidly, trying to understand what had just happened.

"Earlier, he almost lost because of one attack using black ash, but now... Now... Now... It's impossible! What kind of power is that?!" Nitra exclaimed.

Normally, Liang and Alucard would get into a brief but informative argument with her, trying to find out the truth. However, that wasn't happening right now.

They were too focused on what had happened, watching Gael's head.

No one could believe what had happened any more than they could assume it.

Perhaps this was one of the few moments when Alucard and Liang experienced true amazement, like children who had not seen anything in this world yet and marveled at everything.

Adrenaline began to fill everyone's bodies, slowing down the world in their eyes, so... with each passing moment, their heads spun slower and slower, almost stopping at the end of the journey.

Then, the scars on Gael's body shone brightly just like the few ones on the already severed head.

"Wait what...?" Alucard's eyes went wide in disbelief.

It wouldn't be a problem for him to recover from losing his head or completely destroying his body, but he was an exception. Moreover, his defense was dozens of times weaker than Gael's.

Alucard didn't even realize that his friend could recover his head, for it was much more important than other parts of the body.

A significant number of small, medium, and even large scars began to fade away.

The process was lengthy in the eyes of the onlookers, but in reality, only a fraction of a second had passed, no more than that.

Gael's head as if from the past had returned to its place. This was different from what Alucard was doing, as he was regenerating, and Gael was returning his body part from the past.

What was surprising was that for a moment, in the reflection of Gael's eyes, Ereg's massive silhouette with an outstretched palm appeared.

This meant that he had regained his head from when Ereg had attacked, a moment before Ereg's palm had gone through his neck and left him headless.

Ereg turned around with a devious smirk, glaring at his shocked opponent, who obviously had no way of expecting this to happen.

"Amazing, I thought I had already won, but you managed to outplay me again!" Ereg scoffed, as the corners of his mouth went up.

Gael silently touched his neck, as if checking to see if everything was okay. Then, he took a deep breath and cast a hard stare at Ereg.

"What the hell was that...? I admit you caught me off guard, but is it possible to move that fast?" Gael frowned.

Ereg didn't answer anything, he just stepped forward.

Gael's body was covered in goosebumps when Ereg appeared in front of him. His massive fist came at Gael, and all he could do was swing his sword, using it to defend against the crushing attack.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Several shockwaves spread around, as the impact threw Gael aside, dozens of meters back.

"Hah, this isn't even my limit. Green one incredible strength, even frightening." Ereg cheerfully said, looking at Gael, who crashed into the wall at a tremendous speed, leaving cracks in it.
