The Nameless Crown
Chapter 38 - False Valhala I

Eve the presence of Nardhal strengthened, constricted, and expanded. It was as if a giant wave could devour anything that tried to block it. Even for an Ash alone who was strong enough against Vlad looked depressed.

His body gradually bent down, decreasing until it finally fell to its knees like a knight bending its legs. Meanwhile Lilith tried to relieve Nardhal's pressure by wrapping Ash as well as herself with a burr-rooted red dome that gave off a reddish aura.

“Those who burden the world—“

“—Wrapped in endless lake”

“Despite the responsibilities—

“—So much as fate ties”

“Now rise up o “Diriku”, to the final stage where all the theatrics lead to a sweet tragedy!”

The two Nardhal that had previously separated in an imperfect form now began to merge. The parts that are less slowly equipped with various energies, look that was originally like an anomaly now looks like a bright moon.

Without knowing gender alias no gender whatsoever. His appearance is as bright as the moon which is often loved by pleasure-seeking men, while his voice is as bright as an opera actor who can electrify the entire room.

Now the figure floated in front of Ash and Lilith. Dressed like royalty, the flickering of pale white hair indicates that he is ready with all the consequences.

On the other hand his great robe fluttered behind, but came to a standstill as a result of the cold aura that had suddenly burst around Nardhal. Not only the robe was stopped, even the ground under his body was also frozen into icy ground.

“Prepare yourself before the execution time starts,”.

As soon as the two beautiful pupils blinked, his figure disappeared, and suddenly it was right behind Ash. His right hand held high indicates a judgment, while his palm he held up.

When Nardhal swung his hand, Ash quickly reflexively pushed Lilith away while his left hand came out with a black dagger.

DHUASSSS!

“Ash!—“

Lilith tried to reach out to her beloved man, but because Ash pushed her very fast, and was also strong. He could not reach his hand, as a result Lilith's body bounced away avoiding the Nardhal's deadly attack.

However, thanks to Ash's quick reflexes. The deadly attack was successfully held back, but the traces of the pressure of the attack blew around him with a very loud whistling sound.

Ash's initial green HP was immediately reduced dramatically to a bright yellow color.

“Gahkss!—“

[The Starling of Pandemonium, Nardhal Lv. 200]

“Rush only. No speck of light can save you,”

Ash who was affected by stun was silent in pain, while Nardhal again raised his right hand. The tiny ice particles floated slowly, surrounding the body of the guard creature solidly.

On the other hand, the choked Lilith instantly rose up, and unleashed restraint magic towards the Nardhal. However, the magic circle equipped by the thorny plant tendrils that gave off the scent of blood was simply not effective.

“Free only.”

Because all those tendrils before they could touch the Nardhal's skin instantly froze. Being hard and then shattered, even the circle that supported all the tendrils exploded into pieces.

It seems that the current condition is indeed hopeless, eh? Inner Ash.

“Be from this world, o anomaly!”

The air snapped, shrinking into tiny atoms that exploded violently, and the intense pressure was now directed right at Ash's body. However, as the saying goes on etched in the history of “What you reap, that's what you'll get one day”.

“[Force Arrow]!”

An arrow coated by the aura of Mana had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and directly struck Nardhal. Unlike Lilith's magic tendrils, which froze and disintegrated, the arrow exploded before hitting Nardhal.

From the explosion came several lightning whips and also light needles. Thanks to that Nardhal stopped his attack and moved away from Ash.

“Whoaa! I didn't know the power of the mix could be that great, Fion.”

A silhouette appeared right beside Lilith. He is Sera and several other silhouettes followed, they are Andre's team and Fion.

“No need to be in trouble. After all this is only for a while, Sera”

“No, no, no. Do not be humble like that, I was amazed because of your idea. Who would have thought you would propose something like this to me”

“At least with this I can repay my debt to you.”

Fion cleared his throat and repaired his glasses. Right behind the male figure was Andre, Rokh, and Elen who was carrying Fiona appeared. Since the emergence of Endymion, Fiona has not been conscious.

According to Fion, his sister was indeed hit by a chain attack. Not only DoT and CC—Crowd Control, but also special effects that can allow a Player to experience long sleep up to a certain time.

In addition, Fiona's resistance to magic attacks is not as great as Fion's. That means that the impact from the Endymion attack on Fiona was enormous.

“Please say this is my way of paying you guys. In addition, we also need to complete this Dungeon in order to get out,” said Fion while positioning himself.

Sera agreed. The Elf girl scowled so consciously that her stock of arrows had run out and could not help them anymore, but Fion swiftly created a tree and then smashed it and turned every little trunk into an arrow.

“It would be very dangerous if the back of us could not fight actively,” he continued. “I don't know how good the quality of this arrow I made, but at least this is more enough than nothing”

“Heeeehhh. Turns out you're good too, yeah.”

Elen stepped forward after laying Fiona in a safe place.

“You should have listened to my statement earlier—“

“Already. Such trivial things do not need to think hard, if you want to help, just help. Hehehehe, shy base,” cut Elen with a pesky smile.

“Guh ...”

Sera chuckles while Andre and Rokh can only smile. They know Fion's nature is a little complicated, but it's actually good. Regardless of whether they are opponents or friends, because now thanks to a special condition, they are forced to become a team.

Elen's attention now turned to Ash who was still affected by stun effects, he also shouted him to stay away immediately. However, unfortunately the man was unable to move as his body was pulled by Nardhal's gravitational force.

Screaming like that is useless, I thank them for trying to save me. However, that's not the way to do it either, ‘kan? Inner Ash was upset.

The explosive power of Sera's arrow that had been amplified by Fion's magic not only drove Nardhal from Ash, but also injured him to a certain point. As a result, the duration of the stun that previously ended was even extended again.

However, thanks to that too he managed to get a little time to think of a new plan. Looking up with great difficulty, Ash's mouth suddenly just gave a faint grin.

Because at this time the sky had become dark and coupled with the rise of Nardhal which made the entire part of the place there distorted. The lighting that was originally sponsored by the sun is now changed into the light of the king of the night.

Perfect. Sunny. Full up. This is what is called the Full Moon.

He activated the panel scan and then directed it to private status. His eyes ran down and fell on one part that was previously smeared due to special conditions now lit brightly.

“My unique ability has been activated,” murmured slowly.
