Nameless King

Dragon World was a huge space, the size of an entire continent, where there were various locations both hot deserts and snowy mountains, so even the Dragons could not keep track of everything that happened there, they just did not care, because their faith in their power was absolute.

Crackle.

As Wain summoned Gladius, purple flames lit up somewhere as the skeleton of the huge creature began to be covered in a thin layer of darkness.

...

Whoooooosh.

A powerful bolt of lightning struck the tree where Wain stood, and the tree split in two, with a bright red trail of flame inside.

"Did you hit it?" The lizard asked with a serious look.

"No. He jumped off the branch, at the very last moment." The wolf said in a slow voice.

"You are damn right!" Wain exclaimed as he appeared behind the wolf.

Wain swung his sword as the dark blade struck the monster with tremendous speed. The wolf opened its jaws wide and a massive lightning-like silhouette of four fangs appeared above it.

Crackle.

The wolf clenched its jaw as it clamped its sword between its teeth. Through Gladius, powerful lightning discharges passed that pierced Wain's body.

"Argh!" Wain cried out in pain.

Booom.

At the same time, a massive sphere of fire flew into his back, with a temperature high enough to make the ground melt beneath it. The impact threw Wain aside as he pierced through several trees while blood flowed from his mouth.

"Fuck! Those bastards! They sure set this up on purpose to fight the two of them against me alone!" Wain exclaimed with an angry look while climbing out from under the rubble.

'Ahahahahaha, I warned you.' Gladius laughed in a mocking manner, 'The monsters here are quite different from the ones you've fought before. It only takes them a few moments to figure out the best way to attack, even if it's a coordinated attack. They are very experienced.'

"Well, then, this is a good time to test one of my new skills." Wain grinned, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and ran forward.

He jumped out from behind the trees again, under the gaze of the lizard and wolf.

"Hmm? Decided to continue? Fine, I'll finish this right now!" The wolf exclaimed with a furious look before releasing his energy.

The blue streams of energy gradually turned into a massive lightning sphere as the wolf was ready to attack, but suddenly a shiver ran through its body.

The wolf's eyes reflected a dark sword that was covered in a dense layer of energy, then the wolf's pupils narrowed as it instinctively jumped aside.

Whooooooosh.

At the same time, next to the wolf flew an energy blade that split the ground in two, shredding everything in its path.

Crackle.

A thin line appeared on the wolf's body, from its shoulders to its tail, that opened wide, and a wave of blood gushed from it.

"What...? He could hurt me?" The wolf muttered while in disbelief, but a second, later it came to its senses and struck the ground with its paws.

Pillars of lightning appeared next to the wolf that set fire to his wound to stop the bleeding.

"That's not all!" Wain exclaimed before making several swings with his sword.

Each time a powerful energy blade erupted from the sword and some of them seriously wounded the lizards with the wolf.

They tried to defend themselves, but it was impossible for them since all their skills were concentrated on attacking, so eventually, the monsters were cornered.

"Well, well, I should have used something more powerful than a simple sword swing and you just didn't stand a chance." Wain said with a devious smile on his face while stepping forward.

The tip of his sword touched the ground as sparks emanated from it. Their fight was short, but it was enough to make wide crevices appear on the ground, where water from the lake flowed and dozens of trees were broken.

The lizard and the wolf understood that they could not cope with Wain, so they frantically tried to think how to get away from here as their eyes moved from side to side, looking for a road to retreat.

"It's time to get this over with." Wain smirked as he raised the sword above his head.

The sword glowed brightly in black flame, but actually, it was the effect of the tremendous amount of energy that Wain used.

Step.

Wain stepped forward and lowered the sword with a deadly look.

The destructive blade of energy headed forward like a wave destroying everything in its path. The wolf and the lizard didn't have time to retreat, so they thought it was the end for them, but suddenly someone appeared in front of them.

The silhouette swung its arms as it clutched the blade between its palms, as if it was just a throwing knife, then the silhouette tilted its palms, and the blade shattered into tiny shards.

"Hey, you've gone too far, don't you think?" The silhouette asked with a sly smile on his face.

He was a man with long green hair that looked as though it were jungle vines and blue eyes. He wore simple leather clothes that only slightly covered his athletic body.

'Hmm? Is that a Plant?' Wain muttered inwardly with a frown, 'No, he's a monster that came through Awareness... just like Frigus or Elegan.'

"Who are you?" Wain asked with a serious look as he pointed at the man by his sword.

"No big deal." The man smiled while shaking his hand as though he was trying to chase away an annoying fly, "I watched your fight, but I couldn't let you kill them."

"What? It was a fair fight, and they lost! Why the hell are you interfering?!" Wain exclaimed as his aura intensified.

"Ahahahahaha, this coming from someone who interfered in their fight himself? Anyway, you can fight whoever you want, but don't you dare kill anyone, at least in my territory, or I'll have to fight you." The man said with a good-natured smile on his face, but there was a murderous aura emanating from him.

"Huh, you think I'm afraid of you?" Wain grinned.

"Well, it doesn't matter now." The man shrugged as his silhouette blurred.

The man, with the lizard and the wolf, disappeared as before retreating he threw a green seed on the ground that a second later glowed brightly.
