Nameless King

"What...? We can be attacked even if you're not here?" Elegan muttered with a dazed look, "Damn, doesn't that mean it's too dangerous to move to the Fifth Chronicle?"

"Hah, Elegan you should think bigger." Frigus grinned as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Hmm? You think it's a good thing that we can be attacked by anyone who wants to?" Elegan frowned, "What's more, if anyone can come into our area, it's going to turn into real chaos! The more people the more problems!"

"Well, that's why it's called Half-World, isn't it?" Reto smiled slightly as he glanced at Wain.

Wain nodded, "It's a whole other level, but Elegan, you don't have to worry about it so much, you'll be fine. Transferring Void from the Fourth Chronicle to the Fifth Chronicle is a big step, but we can easily handle the consequences. What's more, we'll get a tremendous amount of benefits."

"I agree." Frigus took a deep breath and his gaze grew deeper, "Even though no one has attacked us all this time, but we did it ourselves, didn't we?"

Elegan's eyes went wide, "Yeah... We won a few wars, it seriously helped us grow further. However, it was completely different. We did it all together, we chose our opponent carefully, and that's why we won with ease. Now we can be attacked when we're not ready."

"Hmm? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Frigus frowned as his aura intensified.

"What...? Did I say something wrong?" Elegan tensed since he hadn't seen Frigus angry in a long time, this event was as rare as a solar eclipse.

"Damn, I thought I'd get old and die before I saw Frigus's face like that! Ahahahahaha!" Nicole laughed suddenly as it seemed something amusing to her. She wasn't the only one, as only Elegan, Edena, and Lui Bu seemed tense. The others were relaxed, especially Reto, as he knew what Frigus would say next.

"You say we might be attacked when we are unprepared, but is that possible?" Frigus became serious, "We are all on the Fifth Chronicle and ready to take the fight at any moment. There are thousands of monsters in our territories that are ready to fight."

"Thousands of monsters..." Elegan muttered with wide eyes as if he remembered something he had long forgotten, "Right... Fuck, we have a whole army..."

Frigus grinned, "Looks like you're starting to understand the situation we're in. When our Void becomes a Half-World, there will probably be a lot of people willing to invade and take over some of our resources, but that will be their mistake. In fact, we will only have to fight if the enemy is in Fifth Chronicle, the rest can be dealt with by our monsters."

Elegan just stared ahead for a while as many thoughts ran through his head, then he took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair.

"Hah, looks like I'm too used to the world, I shouldn't worry about us since every monster we have is strong, shouldn't I?" Elegan smirked as he stared at Frigus, "I think this is what our monsters have been waiting for a long time. All this time they've been training and amassing resources to show their strength in rare wars, but now our Void will be more like the real world than a cage."

"You're right, but you're forgetting something." Wain said calmly with a sly smile on his face, "Turning the zone into Half-World, it's not just sudden wars, new enemies, and invaders wanting to take our resources, it's also a large number of new allies."

Elegan was surprised again since before he had only thought of the difficulties that would arise after the evolution of the Void as he had completely forgotten that there was an upside to every situation.

"I don't mean to sound arrogant, but this Void doesn't belong to someone who has struggled to reach the Fifth Chronicle. The owner of this area is me, the Nameless King, so do you really think there will be many willing to be my personal enemies?" Wain said calmly with a devious smirk while his aura slowly increased causing the air next to him to distort slightly.

"Hahaha, I'm starting to like this." Sarras chuckled, "I hope you finish with your experiments quickly as I want it to start as soon as possible!"

"Agreed." Reto nodded slightly, taking a sip of his cold wine, "Honestly I'm sick of drinking for days and doing nothing. I mean, a lot of people dream of peaceful times, but that's just not for us. We've had enough rest, so it's time to work."

"Elegan, you don't have to worry about wars and security and battles, Frigus can handle that easily, especially with our help." Sarras said with a serious expression as he crossed his arms.

"Hmm? What are you talking about? How do you think I don't have to worry about wars?! That's a lot of responsibility! Even if we're strong, I still have to keep an eye on everything!" Elegan spoke with an ice-cold look as he frowned.

"Hah, you're actually a good leader and that's why you shouldn't waste your time on this." Wain grinned as he stared at Elegan, "Look, what's the difference between politicians and the military?"

Elegan was puzzled until his eyes grew deeper, he seemed to realize how stupid he was being.

"You don't have to answer, I'm sure you know it. Frigus is the commander-in-chief, so he will take over all of the war while you can do other, not less important things. After the wars, there will be a new flow of monsters, people, and most important, resources. The pressure will be even bigger than now, so you just don't have enough time to do everything. It's time to let Frigus do what he's best at." Wain calmly said with a confident expression.

Elegan only nodded silently, he was no fool and understood that Wain was right, it was just all a bit unfamiliar to him.
