Nameless King

"Wain!" Lui Bu joyfully exclaimed with an excited expression as he jumped off the platform onto the island. Edena with a slight smile followed him. She tried to appear calm, but in fact, she was even more excited about Wain's return than her partner.

"You haven't wasted any time. You've grown much stronger." Wain nodded satisfactorily as he looked at them. He distinctly felt that Lui Bu and Edena had already reached the Fourth Chronicle and were near the border.

'Hmm, maybe after a while, they can reach the Fifth Chronicle. I don't know if they will want to participate in the Great War when I tell them everything, but somehow I feel like even if I don't want to take them with me, they will force me.' Wain inwardly muttered with a thoughtful look.

He didn't want any of his acquaintances or friends to die, it just wasn't necessary since it was always up to the strongest ones to decide everything. In this world leaders needed an army for power, not to defeat their enemy.

'Damn, this is all too complicated. Last time I almost lost everything at once...' Wain said to himself as he remembered the forms, 'It ended well in the end, but what will happen this time? Who will be my enemy now?'

Last time Wain had fought against the rulers of the Arkan World, the Angel Progenitor, and the Elf Progenitor. He had allies too, but the other races didn't know which side to take, since they had entered the Great War when the real chaos had already begun.

'Now Arkan World has only one ruler left, but last time I fought against only one of them too. Agh, I hope Sven can tell me what happened then.' Wain inwardly shook his head with a slight sigh, 'Moreover, I need to find out what the other Progenitors are doing. Ezrin, as Angels, are my allies now, but what about the others?'

Wain realized that a lot could have changed in five hundred years, especially considering that no one except perhaps Sven assumed that the Nameless King was still alive. When the strongest warrior disappeared without a trace, everyone had new plans as the world changed completely.

"Wain... Can you hear us? Hey!" Lui Bu approached Wain, waving his hand in front of his face as if trying to wake him up after a nap.

"Agh, sorry, I was just thinking. Looks like you'll be as strong as Frigus soon, doesn't it?" Wain smirked as he glanced at his alchemists.

Lui Bu and Edena were embarrassed as Lui Bu scratched the back of his head and said, "We train with Frigus sometimes, but honestly it's definitely some other level. It's almost impossible for us to achieve something like that."

"Yeah... I agree with him." Edena nodded as she crossed her arms over her chest, "We've reached the frontier of the Fourth Chronicle thanks to a huge amount of resources and potions."

"Hmm, by the way, what's your progress? Potions aren't likely to help me anymore, but for monsters that haven't yet reached the Fifth Chronicle they can be very useful." Wain asked with a curious expression, holding his chin.

"Well, in the time you've been gone, we've created a huge number of different potions for every type of monster and attribute. If you want we can show you our collection or warehouse, we produce them almost nonstop." Edena said with a confident smile.

"Yeah, that would be nice, but a little later. I have to tell you all something first. It's very important, so I need all of you. Let's go to Elegan, he'll call the others." Wain said heading for the center of the island. Frigus with a calm look immediately followed him.

Lui Bu and Edena looked at each other as if trying to learn from each other what Wain was talking about, then joined them.

The Ice Island hovering over the first area in Wain's Void was not really all ice as only the edges and the shell were ice. After the ice, there was sand covered with a thin layer of snow, and there were many stone paths leading to a massive building in the center, like a real castle.

Around the castle was a dense forest with a variety of trees of almost all colors and sometimes there were dark places with a menacing aura, this was a part of the area run by Nicole, the last leader in Wain's Void.

'Nicole... Damn, when this girl happened to show up in a new zone, I was seriously nervous. I mean, she was technically born of my energy... Brrrh! I'm not ready for kids yet, when I was talking to Eva, my heart almost flew out of my chest.' Wain inwardly muttered shaking his head.

There were many different decorations in the forest and inside the castle, statues, sheared trees, various paintings, and much more.

"Hah, Elegan definitely has taste. This place doesn't seem empty, but it's also not flashy at all, everything is in its place." Wain muttered as he walked past the two statues of knights next to the main road leading to the castle.

"Hmm, that doesn't make any sense to me. He's wasted too much time on this, he'd be better off practicing." Frigus said seriously looking at the view with a cold gaze.

"Frigus, you are too strict. Elegan is different from you, he doesn't need to devote so much time to physical training. His strength is quite different, or rather he has quite a few different abilities." Edena said as she shrugged.

Frigus was silent, he just snorted, as if he wasn't going to agree with that position.

"What is this...?" Wain tilted his head in confusion as he saw a skeleton with massive scissors in its hands trimming the bushes for an even shape, "Since when did skeletons become gardeners? What the hell is going on here...?"

Wain turned around and realized that many skeletons were making sure that the castle was clean as if they were not monsters but workers.
