Nameless King

Beastfolks were known for their outstanding physical stats and especially their instincts, which were at the level of monsters or even surpassed them.

Beastfolks were not as good at magic as Elves, their regeneration was far worse than that of Vampires, their physical strength was inferior to Axalts, and their intelligence was far from Constructs, but only they fought so fiercely and wildly.

"Hahaha, great, this area is huge! Let's start taking over this area!" Gaur laughed wickedly with his arms crossed as his gaze drifted toward the misty lands.

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Behind Gaur flashed many shadows that headed toward the misty lands. Among them were several Beastfolks, and a large number of monsters with menacing auras.

Several wolves landed with a rumble as they looked around. The desolate lands were Nicole's territories, but she was not there now, for she had to be ready to fight one of the enemy leaders. It seemed that without a leader, the Beastfolks could easily take over the misty lands.

'Hah, bastards, do you really think you can come here and take over one of our territories at once? It may not be my area, but I made a promise I intend to keep!' Sarras inwardly exclaimed as he stretched his arm forward.

In the distance, in front of Sarras was a group of several Beastfolks, they couldn't see him because of the thick fog, but Sarras could clearly see their silhouettes and was ready to attack.

Tap.

"Agh...?" Sarras turned as someone stopped him, at the very last moment.

"What do you want?" Sarras frowned looking at the tall monster whose body was covered in a multitude of sharp blades, it was the monster that had taken Frigus for treatment after the fight with Wain.

Blademonster shook his head as if to say that Sarras didn't need to do anything.

'Hmm? Do you think you have enough strength to deal with them? I mean, they're on the Absolute Stage!' Sarras said with his indignant face.
In response, Blademonster simply put a finger to his mouth as if asking for silence before taking a step back, disappearing into the mist like a ghost.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

At the same moment, several shadows appeared beside the Beastfolks for a moment, then there was the sound of tearing flesh as many slashes appeared on the Beastfolks' bodies. They tried to attack, waving their sharp claws, but as blood gushed from their necks, they fell to the ground. It all happened in less than five seconds.

"Damn... Why are there such strong monsters in Nicole's territory? I hate to admit it, but I don't have anyone with this level of skill..." Sarras muttered with a dazed expression.


"Our Mistress... she... she cannot be stopped..." Suddenly there was a cold voice like a gnashing of metal coming from Blademonster.

"Oh, so you can talk?" Sarras tilted his head. He hadn't expected this since the monster was completely silent.

"Yeah... I'm just learning... so... it's pretty hard for me to do that..." Blademonster uttered, it was obvious that he was expending a lot of energy for every word he uttered.

Sarras nodded, "I see, but oh what did you mean? Did you really call Nicole, Mistress?" Sarras asked with wide eyes.

Blademonster shrugged, "She's in charge here... and though... fighting her is hell... but it has made us stronger..."

"Us...?" Sarras looked puzzled.

"ARGHHHH!!!"

At the same moment, painful screams were heard on all sides. They came from the multitude of Beastfolks who decided to attack the misty lands. Shadows appeared next to them, tearing them apart with ease.

"The others aren't as strong as me... but... they'll have no trouble killing a few Absolute Stage Beings..." Blademonster muttered as he watched the three Beastfolks run toward them.

Despite the horror going on around them, they had confident smirks on their faces since they thought Blademonster was an easy target.

"I see, well, I'm staying here anyway until the invasion is over. I promised I'd protect Nicole's territory, so you'll have to accept my help." Sarras shrugged nonchalantly before snapping his fingers.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Several sharp bones emerged from beneath the ground, piercing the Beastfolks like a spear in a heartbeat. They had no time to react when blood gushed from their mouths, their hearts already pierced from three sides by the bone spears.

"You can have their souls for yourself, I don't need them, but I will take their bodies and vital powers." Sarras said seriously as he looked at Blademonster.

"Sure... but I'm not quite sure what you're going to do..." Blademonster muttered in confusion.

"You'll see now, just watch carefully." Sarras waved his hand carelessly as his aura intensified.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The bone spears rattled as life force began to drain from the Beastfolks. Their bodies quickly dried up as if they were becoming mummies until all that was left of them was skin and bones.

"Agh...that's pretty creepy...but it looks like something appropriate for this place..." Blademonster muttered with a slight sigh.

"Hah, that's not all. As I said earlier, you can have their souls, but I'll send the bodies to my territory!" Sarras smirked as he snapped his finger.

Suddenly the gray earth in front of the Beastfolks sprinkled down as there formed a passageway leading into the depths of the zone. It was one way of getting into Sarras's territory if he gave his permission for it.

Step. Step. Step.

From the passageway, a number of skeletons quickly came running out. They removed the desiccated bodies of the Beastfolks' and carried them down, then with a wave of his hand Sarras closed the passage and everything went back to normal. Only three red souls remained in that place, hovering above the ashy ground.

"What are you going to do with their bodies...?" Blademonster asked with a mild interest in his voice.

"Hah, Edena and Lui Bu are our chief alchemists, they do experiments sometimes, but I'm a real scientist! They are in the Absolute Stage, so this is great material for a few experiments. Creating strong undead isn't easy at all." Sarras smirked as he fairly raised his head, it was obvious he liked someone asking him that.

"Well... in that case... I can only wish you luck..." Blademonster nodded weakly.
