Nameless King

Ceozi watched the fight between Wain and Nicole against the Dragons intently. She knew who Wain really was, but she still didn't fully realize it, so she expected to see a hard and long fight. In the end, it ended coldly and abruptly.

"You don't seem particularly impressed, do you?" Wain asked as she turned to her.

"No..." Ceozi shook her head, "Those two souls... It's an incredible gift, I am truly grateful to you."

"That's not what I'm talking about. You expected something different from the fight, didn't you?" Wain crossed his arms over his chest.

Ceozi was silent for a while before answering with a slight nod, "Yeah... I've only seen Dragons a few times before, but from afar. Like most, I'd heard a lot about their incredible power, but you... you just tore them apart."

Wain took a deep breath, "Don't be mistaken. If you had fought against them, this one with the black wings would have killed you in the first second. You just wouldn't have had time to react." Wain pointed to Blackwing, under which a pool of dark blood was spreading.

Ceozi gulped as a chill ran down her back. Wain's voice was calm, but that's what showed how confident he was in his words.

"Anyway. We're not done yet, since Nicole is still fighting." Wain uttered as he looked toward the two flashes, red and black.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Redwing tried to burn Nicole, launching many fireballs at her, but Nicole was too fast. She moved on an unusual trajectory constantly changing her pace and even if a few fireballs hit her, Erder destroyed them with ease.

"Bitch! I swear I'll burn you to the ground so I'll never see your cheeky grin again!" Redwing exclaimed furiously as she raised her hands in the air.

Whoooooooooosh.

The red flames headed upward, turning into a massive sphere of fire that was several times larger than Redwing. She was too focused on her fight, so she didn't notice that Wain had already killed Blackwing and Whitewing otherwise she would have lost the will to fight.
"Take that!" Redwing shouted launching the orb directly at Nicole.

"Hah, do you really think that's going to stop me?" Nicole smirked as she lunged forward. She had already used her Form, so she was ready to use her favorite trick-as much energy as possible.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Massive streams of darkness headed for the scythe's blade, giving Nicole's weapon immense power. Nicole wasn't worried about whether Erder could withstand it, she was simply going to make as strong an attack as she could.

Crackle.

A huge blade of darkness flew out of the scythe, colliding with a sphere of fire. Waves of shock went out as the ground cracked from the terrible pressure until the blade sliced the sphere in two.

"What...? How is that possible...?" Redwing muttered in disbelief as she watched the two falling parts of the sphere crash to the floor and turn into puddles of magma.

The dark blade was rapidly approaching her, so Redwing was forced to come to her senses and dodge as she flapped her wings and flew aside.

"You won't get away!" Nicole exclaimed, appearing right in front of Redwing.

'Shit! She's too fast!' Redwing put her arms out in front of her, trying to defend herself.

"That won't help you!" Nicole swung with her scythe, cutting off Redwing's arms. Red drops of blood fell onto Nicole's mad face as she gripped the hilt of the weapon tighter.

Redwing wanted to scream in pain, but when she opened her mouth, the scythe blade went through her neck, causing her head to fly off to the side.

Bam.

Nicole landed as well as Redwing's body and with a wide smile on her face put the scythe on her shoulder.

"Damn, that was better than I imagined! Fighting Dragons turned out to be a hell of a lot of fun!" Nicole said cheerfully as she watched the amber soul emerge from Redwing's body.

Whoooooooooosh.

A cold stream of wind blew as Wain appeared beside Nicole.

"You did well. Defeated a real Dragon and still only got a few wounds." Wain praised Nicole as his gaze passed over her from bottom to top. There were a few burns on her body and especially on her arms, but they were not critical wounds.

"Yeah! I want more!" Nicole nodded vigorously with a broad smile.

"Hah, I think you've had enough for now." Wain shook his head, "Those Dragons weren't the strongest, well, your weapon is on the God Stage, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get through the Dragon armor so easily."


"Are you okay?" Ceozi ran up to them with a worried expression as Nicole's burns seemed terrible to her.

"Sure. I'm a little disappointed it ended so quickly, though! I was ready to fight a lot longer!" Nicole said confidently as her aura intensified.

"Nicole..." Wain spoke as he looked at Redwing's soul, "What are you going to do about it? How about paying your blacksmith for the work?"

Nicole blinked a few times trying to understand what Wain was talking about until her eyes went wide.

"Agh... Right. Ceozi, it's your soul. I hope you can make some incredible weapon out of it, just like you did for me." Nicole nodded, directing the soul to Ceozi.

Ceozi hadn't expected such gifts, since getting three Dragon souls was something impossible for her, but now it was a reality.

"Thank you... I will surely find a worthy use for these souls. You can be sure of that." Ceozi said sincerely.

"Fine. Nicole, it's time for us to leave. Just before that, take the Dragons with you, I think Edena and Lui Bu will find a better use for those bodies than being eaten by worms in this perilous place." Wain said calmly before swinging his hand and opening a spatial rift.

Nicole quickly did as he said as if it were routine and ran up to him.

Before entering the spatial rift, Wain turned to Ceozi and said, "Good luck. Keep getting better and maybe your weapons will be in the Second Great War."
