Nameless King

Aurora stared at Wain with bloodshot eyes like a wild beast that was ready to tear its prey apart. Not even the other Elders had dared speak to her like that in the past ten years, and Wain had put her in an impossible position. Whatever she chooses to do violates her ideology and the principles that she has unconditionally followed since becoming an Elder.

"Well, you don't seem to know the answer, so I'll be kind enough to clue you in." Wain smirked, "There is no right answer, as it all depends on the situation, but if you consider that the main thing is who is stronger, then they both win!"

"What?!" The girl and the guy exclaimed with dazed looks.

And there were rustles among the audience.

"What is he talking about?"

"Isn't it obvious that the guy was so much better?"

"Damn... That's so weird... Who is he anyway?"

The audience was puzzled by the whole situation, but most of all, they wanted to figure out what was right as the questions became too confusing.

"Let me explain." Wain waved his hand, "This guy is stronger, and most likely in a fight to the death, he would have won, but she hit him first, so often that can be enough to kill an opponent, it just depends on power. They both have potential, so they both have to make it to the library, and nothing else matters."

"Hey! You may have a point, but you're breaking the rules! Even the Elders must stick to them to set an example for the rest of us!" The guard exclaimed in a gruff voice while walking toward Wain with an angry look.

"Huh, looks like they're recruiting some knuckleheads to protect the library." Wain grinned as he turned into a shadow.

A moment later, he was behind the guard as he put a hand on his shoulder and muttered, "I hate rules, but sometimes they are necessary. You don't seem smart enough to know that I didn't break the rules, I fixed them because this system definitely doesn't work right. Just like the guards that instead of defending the library are going to have fights."

Bam.

Wain pressed lightly on the guard's shoulder and sunk his head into the ground. Wain spared no effort, so the guard's nose was broken as blood splattered around.

No one expected Wain to do something so brutal as everyone stared at him with their mouths wide open. It was like a hurricane burst into their calm, measured lives and changed everything in minutes.

"Well, I'll leave the rest to you. Think for yourself about what you should do, since when danger is right in front of you, no rules will save you, it's all up to you." Wain said, turned around, and while waving his hand, headed toward the library in a careless manner.

Aurora was angry with him, but somehow she felt that Wain was right about something, even if he did it in a rather rude way.

'Shit. How much that little asshole annoys me! He's definitely just over twenty, but he dares to act so cockily!' Aurora exclaimed inwardly while looking at Wain's back, 'Although... Maybe it should be... If his heir was an ordinary human, it would be a hundred times worse...'

Aurora shook her head and headed after Wain.

"Elder! What shall we do?" The boy asked as he expected her to answer, "Which one of us should go to the library?"

Aurora glanced at him, then her gaze fell on the girl and said, "It's up to you. You can go alone, or you can leave here altogether. I don't care, I'm not your babysitter."

She walked forward under the puzzled stares of the people, as they had never seen their Elder like this.

...

"Hey, so why did you bring me here?" Wain asked while looking through the books on one of the shelves.

"You have no idea how much I regret this already." Aurora sighed.

"Huh, I do." Wain smirked as he turned the page.

The book that he read was about various dangerous monsters that could be found near the city. To Wain, they weren't dangerous, but what caught his attention was that most of the monsters he'd never seen it was as if they were an extinct species to the world, but not to this place.

"Come on. We're going to the secret area. For your information, only the other Elders and I have access there." Aurora muttered as she headed downstairs.

The lower the floor, the fewer people there were since it was necessary to be on a certain Chronicle to get to the second or third floor. However, Aurora even passed by the floor that was meant for the Fourth Chronicle, there were only a few people that emanated powerful auras.

Aurora stopped at the old wooden door with several magical circles in front of it.

She waved her hand and created several seals that headed toward the magical circles to unlock them.

Crackle.

The magical circles disappeared as the massive gate slowly opened. Behind it was a dark passageway with many torches that, at Aurora's snap, lit up in purple flames.

"Let's go." Aurora said with a confident look, but her voice trembled.

Wain nodded with gulped as the atmosphere of the place sent shivers down his body.

They walked down the hallway for a while until they reached a spacious hall.

"What is it?" Wain muttered.

A small shard floated in the center, in a purple sphere that was covered with hundreds of seals. Although it was very small, the seals could hardly contain all the energy of the shard, that seemed to be endless.

"This is Nameless King's sword, or rather the only thing we managed to save after the Great War. Though it is only a small part, I'm sure it will help you become much stronger." Aurora murmured, "You are his heir, so perhaps the shard of the sword will recognize you as its new master."

Whooooooosh.

Wain walked past her as he headed toward the shard.

"Stop! I have to take the seals off first! They will kill you!" Aurora exclaimed and ran toward him, but suddenly the seals trembled.

The shard burst into dark flames, and the protective orb shattered into small pieces.
