Nameless King



"Agh... Sven Hellem... It's been a long time since anyone pissed me off like you did..." Polosa muttered as she took a step forward, heading for the spear.

Sven was silent before he had openly mocked Polosa, not even considering her as an equal opponent, but now things had changed. He had become much more serious and was ready to fight to the fullest.

For some, the Form was the peak of strength, the Dragons had their own special stage, but Polosa had a special situation.

"Damn... Looks like the fight went to the next stage pretty quickly..." Marlis muttered with a complicated expression.

"Hmm? Is that spear that important?" Osvald glanced at her, giving her a questioning look.

Marlis nodded slightly, "Yeah... The Nameless King has a very special sword, everyone knows that, but I'd say this spear is even more dangerous."

Osvald's eyes went wide, he didn't expect to hear such a thing since he knew well what Gladius was capable of.

"You shouldn't be so surprised. Even though I have rather little information about this spear, I know that it also cannot be destroyed, but not because it is indestructible like Gladius, it will live as long as at least one plant in this world has energy." Marlis said seriously as she crossed her arms over her chest. 

Marlis continued, "Moreover, there is another very important factor. Polosa is the Plant, so given her level, she can use her weapons more effectively than the others."

Step. Step. Step.

Polosa clenched her spear tightly as her eyes flashed red and headed for Sven. His energy was calm as well as his gaze, but his sword trembled slightly as if conveying his owner's inner anxieties.

'Damn... Killing the Progenitor won't be as easy as I imagined, though it's to be expected. I still have many problems to solve, so somehow I must deal with her quickly and without unnecessary destruction.' Sven pondered, clutching his sword tightly.

"Well... The foreplay is over... Get ready, I'm not going to hold back any longer." Polosa said coldly, "You destroyed my throne, so...this castle makes no sense anymore."

Whoooooooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, Polosa swung her spear, top to bottom, so fast that only a red flash was visible. The streak appeared next to Sven, as the solid floor split in two, Sven was not wounded, but someone was right in the path of the attack.

Marlis's left arm flew aside with a splash of blood that left a few drops on her face. Her eyes went wide with incomprehension and even a touch of fear reflected in her expression.

"It was easy, but it wasn't enough." Polosa said calmly, before swinging her spear a few more times.

Osvald tried to defend Marlis as he lunged forward, but it was too late. Marlis's head was severed and his entire body was cut into four equal pieces.

Everyone was shocked, even the strongest Plants' eyes went wide as no one expected that Polosa would attack Marlis and be able to kill her so easily.

Osvald was lost, he didn't know what he had to do in such a situation, Sven was a little worried, but he seemed to be thinking about something other than Marlis's wounds.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The space around Marlis trembled as streams of green flame emerged from her wounds. They connected the wounds to each other, the head and hand fell into place, and, in a faint flash, the flames went out.

Marlis stared at Polosa, seemingly as calm as ever, but... the next moment her face twisted in anger as she clenched her fists tightly, so much so that blood gushed from them.

"Bitch... You think because you're the Progenitor I won't fight against you...?" Marlis muttered while her rage grew rapidly.

Huge streams of green flame came out of her body, the ends turning purple, which was a signal for someone to take action.

"I'll fucking burn this whole world if I want to and you along with it!!!" Marlis exclaimed as her energy began to spread chaotically around, with streams of flame.

The Plants quickly began to create barriers, though the flames were still far away, the plants had already begun to burn, and the common people felt intense pain from the mere heat. It was not something they could stand at all.

Tap.

Suddenly a silhouette appeared in front of Marlis who was not at all afraid of her flames. He touched her cheek with his fingertips, gradually applying his whole palm.

"Calm down." Sven said calmly with a sincere smile that instantly drew Marlis's full attention to herself, then, it was as if the world had stopped for her, and without control, her energy began to disintegrate into particles that were no longer dangerous.

"I won't let anyone hurt you anymore, I can promise that, but you have to promise in return that you won't hurt these people." Sven lowered his hand, looking around, "This is a very beautiful place, and it's not the Plants' fault that they've been in the middle of the most important events of the last few thousand years. It's not their luck at all to have such a bad ruler, though."

Marlis stared at Sven for a while, she was speechless.

"Pfffft, do you really think you can walk away from me right in the middle of a fight?" Polosa frowned as she swung her spear.

Several scarlet blades headed straight for Sven, he didn't seem to be about to turn around.

"Sven!!!" Marlis exclaimed trying to protect him, but he wouldn't let her go any further, there was no alarm on his face at all.

Whoooooooooooooooosh.

His long blond hair shone brightly as they split into several bunches, and hundreds of threads tore the blades into small pieces, leaving them no chance.

Scarlet shards remained behind Sven, slowly falling to the ground, reflecting the light of the sun, but then, Sven's energy was the brightest thing on the entire battlefield.

"Now, I strongly advise you all to step aside. I didn't expect my opponent to decide to attack anyone but me, but I know how to learn from my mistakes." Sven inhaled and turned toward Polosa, looking down at her.
