Nameless King



Polosa and Sven hovered high above the ground, even the clouds were below them. At this height, they could fight at full strength, and only the shockwaves from which the stronger mates could protect them would reach the common people.

"Looks like we need to change the angle a bit." Marlis muttered, looked up, and jumped, leaving particles of green flame behind her.

Osvald smirked as he followed her. Arden stayed where he was, but after a short delay, he joined them. Deep down inside he knew that everything was already certain, the Queen he had served for hundreds of years had no chance against a monster capable of consuming everything in its path.

'Sven Hellem... Your power is incredible... I am quite close to the Transcendence Stage, I only need a few hundred more years to reach it, however, there is no way I can match you.' Arden inwardly muttered looking at Sven's cold face.

After using the Form, Sven's appearance had changed considerably and his snow-white skin now contrasted greatly with his black hair and eyes. They absorbed all the light like a black hole and were completely dark, like a blur.

"Are you ready?" Sven asked, like an executioner whose task was to lower an axe to the neck of a condemned criminal.

"Don't talk like you've already won!" Polosa exclaimed, swinging her spear, which in fact was an attack creating a massive energy blade.

Earlier Sven would have dodged the attack or at least would have tried to block it, however, this time he simply reached forward.

The blade was caught between his fingers, unable to move any further. Furious streams of energy emanated from the blade, tearing the air apart, but, it wasn't enough to bring any emotion to Sven's face.

"You know... I thought I would only use this form again in the battle against Olax and Arox, however, you forced me to do so, so I am truly impressed by your efforts." Sven said calmly, squeezing his fingers a little tighter, as the blade cracked.

Sven sighed shattering the blade into shards that flew away like red petals.

"I guess that can be considered the beginning of the battle. Now, if you don't mind, it's my turn." Sven spoke in a cold voice as he raised his hand to attack.

Polosa flinched, unlike Sven who knew what she was capable of, she knew nothing of his new abilities. Any attack he made could be her last if she wasn't careful.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremlbe.

Particles of light gathered at the tips of Sven's fingers, fluttering like lightning discharges, gradually moving toward one point to form a tiny sphere of tightly compressed light.

Sven's pupils narrowed as he sharply opened his palm, launching the orb directly at Polosa, who had been preparing for an attack that might be her last.

Polosa swung her spear to block the attack, but no sooner had she done anything than the sphere went through her, completely destroying her arm.

All Polosa could see was her hand shattering into particles, literally turning into dust that was immediately blown away by the wind.

The sphere flew on, gradually slowing down.

"Well... I haven't used it in a while so it's no big deal that I missed..." Sven muttered, looking at his hand with streams of light swirling around it.

Polosa looked at Sven with a trembling look as well as at her hand. It all happened too fast, and it truly frightened her.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Polosa directed energy to her arm, quickly restoring it, also she strengthened additionally her whole body on what she had spent several decades of her life on.

"Oh, you think that will help you dodge next time?" Sven muttered with a serene expression.

"Shut up! That attack wasn't very powerful! You just caught me off guard!" Polosa exclaimed, clutching her spear tightly.

"Are you sure about that? You just got lucky."

Polosa was puzzled.

Sven pointed forward and said, "Look."

Polosa turned around. She was looking at the sphere that had already practically stopped, it struggled to move. Gradually the sphere stood in place, then it began to shake like a bomb before it exploded.

"No way..." Polosa whispered as a wave of trembling went through her body, she seemed to know what would happen next.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The sphere rippled as in one moment all the energy that had been inside it for a long time came out.

After a brilliant white flash, everyone saw a huge explosion shake the sky and tear hundreds of clouds apart, clearing the sky completely, and making it crystal clear, blue.

The shock waves were so strong that some of the massive trees collapsed, crashing down and causing destruction.

Many Plants fled in fear, however, they had nothing to fear as the Fifth and Fourth Chronicle Plants protected them from the shockwaves.

"As I said, this is the right place for our battle. Even if I use something that powerful it will only cause minor damage, no casualties. It's much better than what you did, isn't it?" Sven said calmly and stared at Polosa.

Polosa bit her lip until it bled, she had nothing to say. All she could think about was how to defeat such a powerful enemy. She needed some kind of plan.

"Say, isn't that ironic?" Sven asked with an unemotional look.

"What are you talking about?" Polosa frowned.

Sven glanced down, "Even though I am your enemy and belong to another race, I am more concerned about the safety of your inhabitants than you are yourself. The moment your soul began to corrupt, you should have vacated the throne for a more worthy candidate."

Polosa's face twisted in anger as a huge amount of scarlet energy began to emanate from her spear, spreading around.

"Damn, looks like someone decided to get serious. This amplification is going to cost you a thousand years, maybe even more." Sven shook his head as his light turned into a blade, then he immediately took a swing.

At the same moment, the world split in two, as well as Polosa's body.
