Nameless King

Clap. Clap. Clap.
"Great. That's what I wanted to hear." Gisle said with a slight smile on his face while clapping.
"Damn... We'll actually be protected by the Dragon... Only now I realize it's true." Zero muttered with a dazed look as she couldn't believe his power.
Kadridas nodded, put aside the chessboard, and said, "As a Dragon, I will surely keep my word, but I must warn you about something. Among your enemies some can hold me back for a while, even despite my status, it's the Arkans."
As soon as Kadridas said this the eyes of all three opened wide as each of them already knew of this mysterious race.
"Oh, you seem to know already..." Kadridas uttered as he raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah... Those bastards almost killed me... And twice..." Wain muttered with clenched teeth and fists as his veins swelled.
"You fought Arkans?" Gisle asked with a dazed look, "Damn, you're a real monster."
"I agree." Zero nodded, "I accidentally met one of them or he found me, but I had to escape... I was too weak then and couldn't do anything."
"Wain, I saw your first fight against the Arkans and you won then, though you spent all your strength on it." Kadridas said with a deadly serious look, "What happened the second time? When and where did it happen?"
"It's not that important." Wain said in a calm voice, "They attacked me in an area where the Dragons couldn't protect me, but that didn't stop me from killing those bastards. Anyone who attacks me will die, even if it's an Arkan and I don't care what rank they are First, Second, or even Third."
"Hmm? Do they have ranks? Shit... I guess I didn't know as much as I imagined..." Gisle muttered in a slow voice as he touched his chin with a thoughtful look.
"Were you really able to defeat the Third Rank Arkan?" Kadridas asked while in disbelief.
"Yeah. I did." Wain said in a confident manner.
"Hey, tell me more about that! I know practically nothing about the Arkans!" Zero exclaimed as she waved her arms.
"Okay." Kadridas nodded, "However, don't get your hopes up for much, there has been almost no news from the Arkans for the last hundred years... maybe it has to do with something that happened a long time ago, but you should know these few things. The Arkans want to kill you, the humans, more than any other race. You are their greatest enemy, for in their opinion you are the only one who can thwart their plans."
"Plans?" Gisle frowned, "What plans? How the hell can we interfere with them if we've only recently learned of their existence?"
"Well, I don't know their true purpose, no one does, but you don't have to worry about that. Something happened years ago that greatly slowed their progress, so now they're probably trying to gain strength. You can absorb souls even faster than they can, so you're a major threat to them." Kadridas uttered in a slow voice.
'Damn... He's definitely hiding something... but I shouldn't piss off the Dragon. We'll probably be able to find out a lot more about it ourselves in the future.' Gisle muttered inwardly while listening carefully to him.
"So... You say that even you can't protect us from them?" Zero asked with a serious look.
"Not really. I'm sure that after you do what you plan to do, they will attack soon. It won't be one Fifth Chronicle fighter that attacks you out of hate or his beliefs, it will be an army of hundreds of Fourth Chronicle Arkans and several Fifth Chronicle ones." Kadridas said as he held up a finger.
"No matter how strong I am I won't be able to handle a few Fifth Chronicle Arkans. Sure, if that happens, I'll have other Dragons or members of the other races to help me, but by the time they arrive on the battlefield it could be over for most of you."
"What do we do then...?" Zero asked with a worried look, "Aren't Dragons supposed to protect this world from outside invasions?"
"You're right." Kadridas nodded, "That's why the Arkans sit in their world and only come here in special places like where Wain had fought, where we can't see. However, it won't stop them if they find out that thousands of humans live here. It would be nice if you could prepare for that, or find another protector. Unfortunately, I'm not omnipotent."
There was silence in the room for a while. Everyone pondered what they heard as they did not expect that even Dragon's protection could not guarantee their safety, so it seemed to them that their situation was hopeless.
"Damn... Do we really have to keep hiding?" Gisle muttered with a thoughtful look while holding his hands behind his head.
"Arkans... I hate to admit it... but of all of us, only Wain can fight and defeat them. Maybe I can handle one now, but not several..." Zero muttered as her face darkened.
"Well, you must decide what you will do, but I will protect you from Fifth Chronicle creatures anyway, just like I protect everyone else." Kadridas said as he released part of his powerful aura that was like white streams of energy.
'Hey... Wain, I have an offer for you... How about it...' Gladius said.
After a while, Wain nodded.
'Okay, it's worth a try, but I have to test my plan first.' Wain inwardly muttered before turning to Gisle.
'I might have a good one. I know someone from the Fifth Chronicle that's willing to help us, but it's a very, very long story." Wain said with a serious look.
"Well, I'm ready for anything." Gisle uttered as a sly smile appeared on his face.
"Wain, can you really help?" Zero asked while in disbelief, "I mean... I haven't met any Fifth Chronicle ones yet... Except for Kadridas."
"Yeah. However, I'm not sure it will work, which is why I need Gisle to hear me out." Wain nodded.
