Nameless King

Wain made up her mind, so Ceozi began to prepare for work. She started warming up the forge as well as taking a few materials that were needed to work the dragon bone.

"Well, I didn't think I'd ever get ready to make a scythe from the dragon bone... Agh, Wain it's actually dangerous, you know?" Ceozi muttered while shaking her head, but she didn't take her eyes off the forge.

"Hah, you have nothing to worry about. Don't forget that I'm not just a strong guy now, I'm the Nameless King." Wain smirked as he pointed at himself.

Ceozi sighed, "Yeah... If I didn't know about your history, I never would have agreed to something so crazy. Every time you come to me there's some fucked up thing going on and the worst part is that I love it."

"There's nothing surprising about that." Wain shrugged, "Either last time or now, something unusual and dangerous will happen, but it's situations like this that open the door to new possibilities. If it hadn't been for Nicole's request I wouldn't have had to come here, which means you wouldn't have been able to work with dragon bone."

Ceozi answered nothing, she just smiled weakly, agreeing with his words. Nothing had happened in her life for quite some time, since she was gradually improving her skills, but she needed some kind of leap to become even better.

"Fine, in that case, we're off. When we get back then be ready to get to work right away, you may have to do it just before the fight." Wain grinned.


"Agh...? What are you talking about?" Ceozi's eyes went wide.

"Well, we'll get the bone, then some Dragons will get here, but it won't happen right away, so we'll have time to give you the bone. I'd like Nicole to be able to try it out in combat right away." Wain said with a slight smile on his face.
"Are you sure about that...?" Ceozi asked with a confused expression.

"Sure, don't worry. I have a way of making them notice it only after a long time. I think that will be enough for you." Wain said, turning around and walking out of the cave. Nicole glanced at Ceozi, showed her thumb with a broad smile, and followed Wain.

Ceozi stared at one point for a while before she shook her head, "Damn... So I'm about to order for practically the Nameless King himself? Hah, I wish I could do something for him personally... wait... I already did that right...? Agh! It's too complicated!"

...

Ceozi's forge was in one of the many mountains that were shrouded in a thick fog through which it was almost impossible to see.

"Wain, I'm glad you're willing to do something so incredible for me, but isn't it too dangerous...?" Nicole asked with a worried expression.

"Hmm? What are you talking about? Do you really think I'm going to lose to a few Dragons?" Wain raised an eyebrow.

"No... that's not what I'm talking about." Nicole shook her head, "Before we came to Ceozi, you told me that you had a long-ago fight with the Dragon Progenitor. I mean, wouldn't that make your relationship even worse?"

Nicole was cocky and brash, but even for her it was abundantly clear that the Dragon Progenitor was a superior being. It was no good for anyone to argue with the Dragon Progenitor, not even for Nameless King.

"Agh, so that's what you mean. Don't sweat it, he won't get mad at me over a little thing like that. What's more, I'm sure he knows what his Dragons did to me last time I was in Dragon World." Wain shrugged with a careless expression.

"Hmm?" Nicole gave him a questioning look.

"When I hadn't gotten my memories back yet, I was in Dragon World and one of them attacked me for some reason. Perhaps he sensed that I was actually a Nameless King or something like that, rather it was because of my inner aura." Wain said calmly as if it were something insignificant.

"Wait... Doesn't that mean the Dragons are your enemies?" Nicole shuddered.

"Nah, or rather, not all of them. One part even before the first Great War considered me a threat to be gotten rid of, but the rest thought quite differently. The Dragon Progenitor, until the very end, didn't make a decision, so they didn't participate in the First Great War." Wain muttered with a shrug.

"Anyway, don't dwell on it. If we even kill a few Dragons today, it's no big deal. It's their own fault for attacking me then, so I have the right to break their rule once. Moreover, if they are of those who are originally my enemies, it will even be a good thing." Wain sighed as he raised his head, "Well, enough talk for now. We're almost there."

Nicole nodded as she looked at the same point.

They were at the foot of a massive mountain that had most of the Dragon's spine on it, but not only that, there were also ribs that were stuck into the stone rock. A powerful aura emanated from each bone, which over a long period of time has greatly increased the density of energy in this area.

"Hmm... How about this one?" Wain pointed at the dragon's head with a thoughtful expression.

"What...? You want Ceozi to make a scythe out of a dragon skull...?" Nicole muttered uncertainly.

"Hah, of course not, it's too big like the ribs. Even if we take the smallest rib then Ceozi will have to remove most of it, which means we will lose a lot of valuable material. We need something smaller but with the same amount of energy, so obviously that's what I'm talking about." Wain smirked, opened his mouth, and pointed to his teeth.

Nicole's eyes went wide with bright sparks when she realized what Wain wanted to do.

"Your first weapon will be made from the fang of a God Stage Dragon!" Wain exclaimed with an excited expression as his aura intensified.
