Nameless King

"Is it true? Do you know where we can go?"

"Yes." Wain nodded, "I suggest you relocate to the town where my friends and I live."

"Wow, that's interesting. I didn't expect you to offer something like that. I suddenly feel like visiting that place, too." Osvald grinned.

"That's your business. I don't mind." Wain shrugged.

"Wain, I'm glad you're willing to offer us your city as our new home, but... are you sure you can decide that alone?" Irma doubted.

"You don't have to worry about that. The head of the city and all the territories belonging to my organization are under my friend's control. He certainly won't mind, and what's more, we just want to find ourselves an ally and make friends with as many people as possible."

"That means..." Irma muttered.

"That we are saved!" Franzi exclaimed as she jumped up and hugged her sister.

"Get off!"

"Okay, girls, stop wasting time. We don't have much. Quickly round up all the residents, we don't have more than ten minutes to get out of here safely and relocate all the residents."

"Yes." Irma and Franzi nodded as they ran to the residents.

Irma and Franzi tried to inform everyone about the new plans as quickly as possible. The villagers were happy to hear that they would have a new home and finally be free. Because of this, the chaos in the village became even greater. Everyone tried to take as many things as possible and let their friends and relatives know about it.

"Wain, are you sure?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"They're Beastfolks, and you and your acquaintances are the humans. This could be a problem for both you and them."

"Huh, no need to think about it. We've already made contact with Vampire City and Plant City. As far as I know, there hasn't been a problem. Anyway, if they threaten us, that would be their biggest mistake." Wain said calmly.

"Vampires and Plants? That's pretty unusual. I wonder who else you can cooperate with?"

"We'll see."

...

Ten minutes later, most of the villagers gathered in the village's center.

"Alright, everyone is in place. Like I told you, we'll go to the town where Wain lives. I'm sure it's the best option and our new beginning!" Irma exclaimed.

"Yes!"

Wain nodded, and an eye patch appeared on him for a second. With a wave of his hand, he opened the space passage, stood beside it, and said, "Go ahead, get in as fast as you can."

The inhabitants rushed forward. They knew there wasn't much time left.

Tremble.

Suddenly the ground trembled, and a huge chunk of earth the size of a mountain flew up in the distance.

"Here we go." Osvald said.

"Well... as long as it doesn't affect us. We don't need more than ten minutes."

"Unfortunately, it looks like it's not going to be as smooth as we'd like it to be." Osvald muttered as he stared at the piece of land. It was flying toward the village like a meteorite.

"I'll deal with it. Keep an eye on the passage."

"Okay."

Osvald jumped high up and slammed his fist into the meteorite. It cracked and shattered into many pieces. They fell to the ground and destroyed several of the residents' homes.

There were more and more meteorites by the minute, space was unstable, and a rift could start anywhere.

Sometimes debris fell directly on the inhabitants, but Irma protected them. She used her new power and burned the debris before it could even reach the ground.

"Irma, come on in. There's no one else left." Wain said.

"Yes!" Irma ran into the passage.

Bam.

Osvald landed next to Wain.

"That was a great journey, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, it wasn't bad. Especially the part where I absorbed Soul Pearls."

"Ahahahaha, you shouldn't be so greedy. That power is great but dangerous. Countless Peal Hunters have died in pursuit of pure energy. It's a dangerous occupation, and you must be prepared for the hatred of those you've taken home from."

"It doesn't matter. An enormous number of those around the world could be my enemies. There is no point in thinking about having fewer of them, but there is great benefit in having allies."

"You may be right. In any case, that's your business." Osvald shrugged as he entered the portal.

Wain took one last look at the crumbling Purgatory Zone and left it.

Inside the spatial rift, Wain opened a door, and they all walked for a while down a long passageway until they were outside.

Wain made the portal lead them to the edge of the waterfall, next to which was Overion, the main city of humanity.

"How beautiful..." Irma muttered. She was in awe of the landscape in the distance.

"I agree. It's actually not bad here." Osvald nodded.

Whooooooooosh.

A powerful gust of wind blew near them, and Osvald smiled, "Looks like we have company."

Two tall girls emerged from the shadows. One had a long rapier in her hand, while the other preferred to fight with her bare hands.

They were ready to fight, and a formidable aura emanated from them, but when they saw Wain, their eyes went wide, and their auras reduced.

"Wain?!" Teresa and Agnes exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's me, as always. Where is Gisle? I have business with him. As you can see, there is a problem that needs to be dealt with." Wain pointed to the villagers.

"Of course, as far as I know, Gisle is on the training ground right now."

"Huh, he finally has some free time?"

"Yeah... I guess so." Teresa nodded.

"Okay, everyone, follow me. These two will escort us." Wain said and went forward. The villagers followed him.

Osvald looked intently at Agnes.

Whoooosh.

He suddenly appeared beside her. Agnes felt Osvald's powerful aura and attacked.

Bam.

Osvald grabbed her fist with his palm and smiled rather smugly, "Not bad, not bad at all. Would you like to fight me later? We're just about to go to the practice area."
