Nameless King



Crystal Mind Dew is a one-of-a-kind resource that was impossible to replicate, even with the energy of the world and the efforts of millions of inhabitants, many of whom were in the High Chronicle.

Even for Cetid, it was impossible, but he was able to create a perfect replica that was no different from the original.

"It's a perfect replica..." Arden muttered in disbelief, looking from one Crystal Mind Dew to the other, trying to find any differences. Appearance, energy, shape, density, and even slight vibrations on the surface all matched.

"Yeah... This is how it should be..." Cetid muttered in a faint voice, gradually regaining his strength.

Then, he looked at Sven and said, "Now you can have both Crystal Mind Dew. What's more, the copy I made has a hidden effect."

"Hmm?" Sven gave him a questioning look.

Cetid smiled bitterly, "When Arox tries to use it to elevate his abilities to the max for a brief period, he'll get a blast right in his haughty face instead."

Sven smirked, "Hah, didn't think you'd be involved in such dirty games, looks like I underestimated you."

Cetid shrugged.

Sven nodded, then his gaze changed as he became serious, "Arden, you have no objections, do you?"

Arden shook his head, "No, do what you have to do. It's too late to change the plans anyway since Plant World has already received the energy that normally comes from Crystal Mind Dew when it explodes."

"Fine, thanks for your help." Sven nodded, "Marlis, Osvald, we're leaving. It's time to report a successful mission."

Marlis and Osvald looked at each other as they instantly changed, becoming colder and more serious, just as they are in Arkan World.

The real Crystal Mind Dew, Sven gave to Marlis, as they could later use its energy to activate The Last Seal. 

The copy Sven took for himself, this is the one he will give to Olax.

"By the way, I still don't understand something." Sven muttered as he looked at Kadridas, "Why are you here?"

"Good question." Wain muttered. At first, he didn't understand why Cetid decided to come here, but after that it became obvious, however, it was still a mystery to him why Kadridas came here.

They were too important people with serious tasks to perform to just go with anyone to another world.

Kadridas smirked, "Well, I don't really have any business with you. However, I do have a few questions for him." Kadridas glanced at Arden.

"Agh...?" Arden pointed at himself with a confused expression. He and Kadridas had never even met before, so it seemed strange to him.

Kadridas sighed, "Look, you do realize that once Sven hands over Crystal Mind Dew to Olax, it won't be long before the war starts, right?"

Arden nodded slightly.

"You're not going to participate in it, are you?" Kadridas asked, though he already knew the answer.

"Of course not. Many important events happened today for Plant World, some were good some were not, but we all need a rest. Moreover, Plants would never participate in something like this, at least not in our situation." Arden said confidently, he didn't want his people to die in a war between two of the most dangerous races.

Kadridas smiled, "Good. In that case, I offer you this. I will seal your world for one year. How's that?"

"What...?" Arden muttered with a confused expression.

"In that case, even by force no one can force you to participate in the war, I think it's a good offer." Kadridas shrugged.

Arden was silent for a while before he nodded, "Yeah, you're right. If you can do it, that would be fine."

"Fine. Then I'll get right on it." Kadridas grinned.

"Wait." Sven said sharply, stopping Kadridas.

"Hmm?" Kadridas looked at him puzzled.

"You've already done that with other spaces, haven't you?" Sven stared at Kadridas intently.

"Yeah. Do you really think many people want to participate in the chaos you're about to cause?" Kadridas nodded calmly.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At the same moment, Sven's aura intensified as his veins swelled and his face contorted with the anger that flooded over him.

"Fuck... Looks like there are a lot more idiots in this world than I thought." Sven grunted with narrowed eyes, clenching his fists tightly.

"Well, you think too categorically. It makes no sense for anyone who is not strong enough to take part in this war. We all understand that." Kadridas said calmly, heading for the exit, "The strongest will find a way to join the war and choose their side, the rest will just wait."

Wain nodded with a deep look. He understood better than anyone else what Kadridas was talking about. All races participated in the First Great War, but far from it. As there were only a few among the Vampires, the rest were just waiting for the finale.

"Hah, sometimes one strong enough fighter is more than enough to replace an entire army of cowards." Wain smirked as the silhouette of the Alucard appeared in his mind.

Many representatives of the Pillars, didn't want Arox and Olax or Nameless King to win, depending on whose side they mentally took, but they were too afraid to fight.

The logic was simple. Even if it was someone from the Fifth Chronicle, their actions didn't affect anything anyway. The main factor was the outcome of the battle between the Nameless King and the Rulers of the Arkan World. So the death of this Fifth Chronicle one would be meaningless. Exactly, that's what the vast majority feared. Unlike Alucard, the others were not immortal.

Whooooooooooooooosh.

Kadridas spread his broad wings and flew high up, toward the edge of space. He could seal even an area as large as Plant World, but he needed some time and a lot of energy to do so.

"Sven... Is everything all right?" Marlis asked with a worried expression.

Sven took a deep breath, "Yeah, it's just that even after living in this world for several hundred years I still don't understand how millions of people can be so stupid."

Sven shook his head, "Well, maybe it's just that they don't understand what Arox's purpose is, but isn't it obvious that we need to help Nameless King win this war?"

Marlis didn't answer anything, she had nothing to say since this was the situation they were in, a long time ago. They had no other way and they weren't going to change that.

"Before you go..." Arden muttered uncertainly, "In what world will the war take place?"

Sven glanced at him, then his gaze drifted to the clouds slowly floating among the blue sky, "Well, there is only one place in this world suitable for a battle of this level."

After a while, Kadridas returned. Then, the entire Plant World was covered by an invisible barrier. It was almost impossible to see, but it hid such a large world and prevented anyone from leaving it or entering it.

Cetid was about to do the same. He couldn't seal Dragon World, even for him it was impossible, but he could easily forbid the Dragons to interfere in the war. Obviously, such Dragons would be few and far between, but it was still a risk for one side.

"Well, I guess in that case we should go back." Sven said calmly with a deep look as he looked at Marlis, "Open the portal when you're ready."

Marlis nodded slightly, then she turned to Kadridas.

"Don't worry." Kadridas smiled, "I knew you would need to open the portal, so I left a small gap for you to use it. Of course, as soon as you leave, I'll close it."

Marlis turned around, focused, and streams of green flame appeared in front of her, which quickly turned into a path into the World of Darkness.

Sven took one last look at Arden, and Cetid, before entering the portal. Marlis and Osvald immediately followed him.

Wain's consciousness shifted to them in a heartbeat as he could see only the memories of the three and nothing more.

Step. Step. Step.

Sven, Marlis, and Osvald stepped along the path of the white energy that headed toward the massive gate. It was the entrance to Arkan World, directly to the main castle, where only the most powerful Arkans had access.

"Sven..." Marlis muttered with a dark look, "Are you sure we can win?"

Sven raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? Why did you suddenly decide to bring that up? You need to be as sure as Nameless King! After all, he still doesn't know that we actually sided with him."

Marlis nodded, "Yeah, I understand that, however, what about the other Progenitors? I mean, even the creatures in the Fifth Chronicle can't affect the outcome of this war, but the Progenitors are another case."

Sven smirked, "Don't worry about it. I'm sure these two won't let someone take all the fun out of it, which means they won't let others influence the outcome of the war."

"Hmm? Two?" Osvald gave him a questioning look.

Sven sighed, "An incredible team. The Immortal and the Invincible."
