Nameless King

1075 The Throne Room



"Oh, did you feel that?" Alucard asked with a smirk on his face. He looked away, seemingly to nowhere, but very far away in that direction was another space, another world.

Liang nodded, "Yeah, it seems Gael knew it would take us some time to finish, and he decided to take his time. In that case, we're heading to Beastfolk World aren't we?"

"Yeah, let's not waste any time. I'm sure it'll start soon." Alucard uttered and with a wave of his hand created a bloody portal leading into open space. 

"Are you coming with us?" Liang glanced at Nitra.

Nitra nodded, "Sure, but I don't understand something. Does Gael have some sort of conflict with the Progenitor of Beastfolks?"

Alucard sighed, "You didn't choose the right words, however, you're right about something. They do have a reason to fight, and it has nothing to do with the Great War. It's their own. By the way, you can take advantage of that and arrange to use their territory for your experiments."

"Agreed." Liang waved his hand, "This is a good opportunity for you."

Nitra frowned as she puffed up her cheeks, "Hey! You don't have to worry about me so much! I'll take care of my own problems!"

"Hah, your attempts almost ended with the destruction of the Tree and your death. If I wasn't the kindest person in the entire universe, that's exactly what would have happened!" Alucard laughed as his echo spread around. 

"You and kind... That's something incompatible." Nitra turned away.

Alucard chuckled, "Really? It seems to me that among the three of us, I am definitely one. You two nearly destroyed each other."

"We had our reasons." Liang said seriously as she placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, "Or are you devaluing the lives of the ordinary citizens of my world?"

Alucard shrugged, "Nah, but, you were able to stop it in a few phrases, so obviously, it could have been done before. Whatever, let's move on."

Before Nitra and Liang could say anything, Alucard had already entered the portal.

Liang and Nitra looked at each other and followed him. The portal closed, and they found themselves in the World of Darkness, in front of one of the largest spaces.

"Hm? Why didn't we go through further?" Nitra frowned, "I thought you opened a portal directly to their world."

"Well... I don't want to draw too much attention to myself. I want to be a spectator, you know?"

Liang sighed, "Come on. Gael will fight against their Progenitor, so if we stand aside no one will pay attention to us."

Step. Step. Step.

Gael took a few steps forward before swinging his sword. A single swing was enough to make a gap in space through which they easily entered Beastfolk World.

Alucard and Nitra didn't expect Liang to act so drastically, but it was already done, so they had no other option but to head forward.

They found themselves in one of the hundreds of locations in Beastfolk World, hovering above a dark forest covered in an unusual blue mist.

Despite the fact that they had brazenly invaded an alien world, no one paid them any attention. It seemed that the main forces of the Beastfolk World knew that besides Gael, other Progenitors would be coming here.

"Well, well, they turned out to be more intelligent than I thought." Liang muttered in a deep tone, then he turned around, "Where should we go?"

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

Suddenly, a flash of flame appeared in front of them, very powerful, for everyone but them since the aura level was at Fifth Chronicle, God Stage.

Then, a girl emerged from the flames, she was from Fox Clan. She had a long fluffy tail, pointed ears, a cute face, and green eyes with vertical pupils. She was wearing a simple dress and didn't look like someone strong or important at all.

"Mr. Liang, Mr. Alucard, and Mrs. Nitra... We didn't expect you all to come at once and together, but I'm happy to welcome you to our wonderful world anyway." Fox girl respectfully said with a slight smile on her face.

"Who are you?" Liang looked at the girl intently.

"My name is Nila and I am one of the Royal Knights. My King assumed you might come, so I was ordered to escort you to where the King and Mr. Gael will fight." Nila replied calmly, keeping her palm on her chest.

"Hah, not bad, but what makes you think I want to follow you?" Alucard smirked, with a devious smirk, "Maybe I came here to bring destruction and chaos! What do you think of that?"

Nila made a thoughtful look, "Mr. Alucard, if I can surprise you, will you follow me?" 

"Surprise me? Hah, you seem like a contented self-righteous person." Alucard grinned, "Well, you can try. If you actually do it, then I won't resist anymore."

Nila nodded, then she took a step forward. In a heartbeat, she found herself in front of Alucard.

However, she wasn't going to attack him, and Alucard realized that, so he decided to give her a chance and see what she would do next.

Then, Nila flew up slightly so that she was taller than Alucard, just a few centimeters. That was enough for her little plan.

Nila smiled, and grabbed Alucard by the back of his head, clutching his long blond hair, then she leaned down and kissed him, but she did it in the most dominant position she could afford.

Alucard's eyes went wide, but he didn't stop Nila and just enjoyed this unusual moment.

Nitra, watching this, didn't know how to react. She felt strange since only recently Alucard had kissed her, but now someone else was doing it towards him.

'Is this jealousy...? It can't be!" Nitra internally exclaimed.

After a while Nila finished as she let go of Alucard and looked at him with a slight smile.

"What do you think? Was I able to surprise you?" Nila smirked.

"Well... You're not the first woman in my life with dominant tendencies, but I obviously didn't expect this from you, so... yes, you were able to do it." Alucard replied with a smile.

Nila nodded, then he pointed towards the north.

"Mr. Gael is moving that way, towards our King. We should hurry if you don't want to miss anything." Nila said calmly.

"In that case, let's not waste any time." Liang stepped forward, with a serious expression.

"Sure." Nila nodded and turned into a flare of fire and rushed forward.

Alucard immediately followed her with obvious excitement on his face.

Liang sighed and turned into a stream of wind. Nitra was the last one left, and after a short pause, electric shocks ran through her body, and black lightning quickly caught up with the others.

...

Step. Step. Step.

At the same moment, Gael slowly stepped forward, creating ashy platforms beneath him. This was not necessary for him, as he could stand in mid-air without any external support. However, he liked to spread his ashes like a sign before a great battle.

After a while, he reached a massive mountain, part of which had been converted into a castle with a huge throne room in the open air.

The throne room started at the very edge of the mountain and headed inland for over a hundred meters.

The bright sun illuminated Gael's path as well as the slightly damaged stone slabs and columns of the throne room.

Unlike the other castles, things were different here as even in a place like this the Beastfolks were constantly fighting. More often than not, no one got rid of the damage as every crack or scratch was a priceless memory of someone's battle.

Even the massive stone throne in the center of the throne room was half destroyed and no one thought it was wrong. On the contrary, it was this attitude towards battles that Beastfolks respected the most.

'Oh, there are quite a few people here. The Beastfolks have been waiting for me for some time now. Well, I hope they don't mind me lingering.'' Gael smiled as he looked at the multitude of Beastfolks in the throne room.

They didn't look like guards, nor did they follow any sort of discipline. They stood at random points, some even on the grounds of the mountain or the towers in the castle rather than right in the throne room.

However, no one was blocking Gael's path as well as no one was talking. Everyone was waiting for Gael to meet his opponent and start the great battle in their world.

After a few steps, Gael stopped and raised his head, aiming his gaze at a person sitting on the throne.

It was Black Panther, a muscular man sitting relaxedly on the throne. One of his legs was draped over the other, as he rested his head on his arm.

He had a happy grin on his face, and one of his eyes was hidden by a bandage, from underneath which a gruesome scar was visible.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Gael asked with a slight smile.

"Hah, not bad, but honestly I've been bored as hell lately. Good thing you came at a time like this." The man smirked, "I'm just about to get a chance to get back at you for this!" The man pointed to his bandage as a mad grin appeared on his face.
