Nameless King

Marlis took the dragon scales in her hands and began to examine them from all sides. Of all those present, she had the most knowledge of Dragons, as well as of most creatures of this world.

"What do you say? Can you find where their space is?" Olax asked as he looked at Marlis.

"Yes. That's not a problem. If you don't have any more errands for us, we can go right now. I know where to find them." Marlis said confidently with a calm expression.

Olax nodded, "Sure, I need to go with Arox to plan the start of the war so everything goes smoothly. When you get back, come see me, I'll give you your next assignment."

Osvald and Marlis nodded at them and headed for the exit. Sven, staying where he was, stared intently at Olax, as if he had an important question for him.

"Hmm? Sven, is something wrong?" Olax asked with slight concern as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I just want to know, is the plan still the same? I mean, your and Arox's goal hasn't changed? Is our race moving along the same path?" Sven asked with a slight chill in his voice.

Olax looked at Sven seriously before he said putting his palm on Sven's shoulder, "Sure. Through our combined efforts, we can achieve our goal. I and Arox will only handle the most dangerous enemy. I think you understand that this is the only outcome left for our race as well as the world."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Suddenly a tremendous amount of energy began to emanate from Sven that made even Wain shudder. However, neither Olax nor Marlis nor Osvald had any reaction to it, it was as if they saw nothing.

'No way... Could he somehow be hiding such a powerful flow...? Or am I seeing what only Sven felt then? After all, these are his memories.' Wain muttered inwardly in a confusion.

As Wain supposed, no emotion appeared on Sven's face. He was completely calm and focused on his task, though a lot was going on inside his mind.

"Fine. In that case, we are leaving right now. Every mission we complete brings our race closer to a brighter future." Sven said seriously with a slight nod as he turned to Marlis, "Can you open the portal right here? We have no time to waste."

Marlis turned, about to answer Sven, with a cold look, however, when she met Sven's gaze she got goosebumps. Marlis had known Sven for decades, she had been through many dangerous battles with him, so she could see a piece of what was going on inside him.

"Marlis... Is something wrong?" Sven asked absolutely calmly as he touched her cheek.

Sven's icy stare seemed to hypnotize her, but given Marlis's special attitude toward Sven, she was not frightened; on the contrary, a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"No. It's okay. I'll open the portal right now." Marlis whispered with hot breath.

'Well, well, there's actually an unusual connection between these two. Osvald, on the other hand, just enjoys what he does. Their team is balanced, though in a strange way.' Wain said inwardly as a slight smile appeared on his face.

Crackle.

Suddenly the doors to the room opened and four persons, two women, and two men stepped inside. Each of them had powerful auras, nearly as powerful as Sven, Marlis, and Osvald's, and they each bore the same mark - a seven-pointed star on their chests.

"Damn... I wasn't paying attention to that at all. They all have seven-pointed stars... that means they're all the elite of the Arkan World, though it's pretty obvious." Wain shrugged.


"Silva, Orlina, Nick and Jan... What are you doing here?" Olax asked with a frown, "I don't remember calling you here. You have other tasks."

Olax had spoken relaxedly before as if he were conversing with old acquaintances, but when these four walked in, his aura changed as well as his gaze became sterner.

The four Arkans, immediately bowed low, pressing their palms to their stars, then one of them looked at Olax. It was a man with short brown hair and green eyes.

"Mr. Olax, sorry to have bothered you, we just heard what you were saying about Azure Tail and Black Whip." Jan said respectfully.

"So what? I've already given Sven, Marlis, and Osvald an assignment to take them down. Do you really think they can't handle a group of Dragons?" Olax snorted.

"No, I had no such thought. It's obvious that the strongest warriors of our world can deal with the Azure Tail, however, shouldn't we all do it together?" Jan calmly said as his aura intensified, "After all, all seven of us, are a Shining Star unit."

"I agree." The woman next to Jan said. She had long silver hair and blue eyes, "What was the point of creating a squad of seven top warriors if these three are increasingly starting to act apart from us? It completely destroys the whole point of unity."

Olax grimaced as he crossed his arms over his chest, "Silvia... What do you expect me to do? Use all the powers of the Shining Star for one mission?"

"Yes, I think that would make sense. In the past, it's always been that way, if we're one unit we should all act together." Silvia said confidently as a white glint appeared in her eyes.

"Hah, how curious, they are fighting for power when the greatest war in history is about to happen." Wain chuckled watching the show taking place.

Olax didn't respond, he thought Silvia's suggestion was pointless in this situation, but he also understood that there was logic in her words. Silvia acted measuredly so as not to provoke Olax's wrath, but only to make him think.

Silva, Orlina, Nick, and Jan were worried that Sven, Marlis, and Osvald would rise to the next level and surpass them, even though not long ago they were all equals. They couldn't let that happen.
