Nameless King



Whooooooooosh.

Sven appeared from behind Polosa, thrusting a needle into her back, the tip coming out the back, completely covered in blood.

"I've heard that Alucard can recover even if there isn't a drop of blood left. However, I doubt you could do something like that." Sven spoke coldly, slowly instilling true fear in Polosa.

"Get out!!!" Polosa exclaimed furiously, swinging her spear around her, but, Sven didn't even back down. He continued circling around her like a flash, leaving more wounds in her each time.

As time passed, Polosa's mind clouded as she could not think clearly, too much pressure was heaped on her.

"Damn... If this continues, Sven will win. Though there's quite a bit of destruction left in their wake, it's pretty much the same outside the castle." Osvald muttered, slightly surprised at how helpless Polosa was.

"Don't relax. She just didn't want to use her Form, but it seems she has no choice but to do so now." Marlis said calmly, with a serious expression.

"Hmm?" Osvald gave her a questioning look.

Marlis sighed, "It will take her a very long time to recover, all because of that spear. It gives tremendous power, but it also requires tremendous strength and has the great disadvantage of serious recoil, so... We'd better back off if we don't want to get hit by an accidental attack."

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Sven continued to attack, he didn't stop for a moment, carefully watching Polosa's movements, he couldn't let her spear touch himself again.

'Enough, it's time to move on to the second stage. Your fate is already sealed either way.' Sven muttered inwardly as his needle pierced Polosa's heart.

Sven's eyes became sharp as blades, he stepped forward, gripped Polosa's heart tightly, and crushed it in one sharp movement, then, Sven quickly jerked aside.

The faces of the Plants that had been watching the fight turned pale as a sheet of paper. Their Queen had just lost the most important thing in her body, her heart was the beginning of everything as well as the end. A chill ran down their backs as their gazes turned dark.

Sven took a deep breath, turned, and stepped back to the edge of the platform. The castle was almost completely destroyed, only a third of it remained, so standing on the edge Sven had view of the entire Plant World, from a unique spot.

"Agh...? Why isn't she rising?" Osvald muttered in confusion, "Is this the end."

Marlis didn't answer anything, she didn't understand why Polosa wasn't doing anything since it had been quite a while.

Sven looked around and then looked at Polosa who was lying on the ground, his gaze was calm as if he knew exactly what was about to happen.

"Hey, stop scaring your people, we both know this isn't over." Sven said calmly as he placed the needle on his shoulder.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At the same moment, roots covered in red energy emerged from beneath the ground. They were aimed only at Polosa, surrounding her and gradually creating a cocoon as if for a butterfly.

With each passing second, the cocoon grew larger and larger, and red light came out of the gaps, with short ripples that gradually grew longer and more powerful.

"Oh... I've never seen anything like this... This cocoon looks like there's a heart inside." Osvald muttered with mild surprise.

"Well... The point is, you're not wrong. Right now she's being reborn, but... I'm not at all sure that's what her form has always looked like." Marlis spoke with a complicated expression.

Sven did not attack the cocoon; he knew what the consequences would be, and he also knew that this was only the beginning of the cocoon's growth.

"Aaaaaaaargh!!!"

"What's going on?!"

"What...? I don't understand anything..."

Suddenly there were screams and cries for help in the area around the castle, however, their fates had already been sealed.

Dozens of Plants, all below the Fourth Chronicle, died of exhaustion, their souls instantly transformed into red threads that headed into a cocoon, penetrating it. Ordinary Plants, as well as the beasts that inhabit this world and help Plants in life, died, one by one.

Against this there was no escape, if a weak Plant got into the radius of the cocoon, its life was over. Only power could protect them, as the only remedy.

Sven's eyes grew colder, he supposed that such a thing could happen, but he was not sure that Polosa would choose to do such a thing since it revealed her true desires.

Crackle.

Arden, the head of the guards, fell to the ground with a devastated look. The rest of the guards were completely lost, they were trembling and unwilling to accept what was happening.

Whoooooooosh.

Suddenly a green stream of flame appeared next to Arden, it rapidly increased enveloping each guard. They could have easily escaped the fire, but then they just didn't think about it, their minds were consumed by fear.

The guards, appeared in the distance, next to one of the great trees, however, one of them showed up next to Marlis and Osvald, it was Arden.

"What do you want...? Are you going to kill me...? I'm ready..." Arden muttered, looking at the ground with trembling eyes. He looked as if he had learned the most terrible secret he had long guessed, but the reality was too cruel.

"Come up and see what your queen is doing." Marlis said sternly, as her confident voice had a strange effect on Arden, bringing him back to his senses slightly.

Arden didn't mean to, but he lifted his head, looking at the cocoon that had already grown much larger, absorbing the energy of hundreds of innocent creatures.

"Though we had a little argument before, we're not going to kill you." Marlis sighed, "Unlike that corrupt queen that's willing to sacrifice her people for victory, you're different."

"But... Why does she do it...!" Arden clenched his fists tightly.

Marlis shook her head, "I've said it all, though I'm sure you know better than I do. She made a deal with our Ruler for power, and now she is willing to do anything to defeat Sven since he is her main obstacle to it."
