Nameless King

"Reto, as always, sticks to his preferences. I won't hide it, if I saw someone trespassing in my territory, I would destroy the intruder immediately." Wain said coldly looking at Felix, then a pleasant smile appeared on his face, "In this case, Reto was more pragmatic than me."

Reaching the foot of the hill, Felix stopped as he didn't know where to go next. He turned around to ask Reto this since he thought he was following him.

"Hmm? Where is he? Did he really stay there?" Felix tilted his head in confusion.

Tap.

A light palm fell on his shoulder, causing Felix to wince and quickly turn around. He was ready to fight, but when he saw who it was, he sighed in relief.

"Hey, you don't have to be so scared, I thought that since you were an Undead you could easily keep track of my movements." Reto smirked.

"Damn... You don't move the way I'm used to. I don't even know how you managed to outrun me... Well, anyway, we have to go upstairs, right?" Felix asked as he waved.

Reto turned around, looked up, and said, "We need to get to the very top. I'm sure he's already waiting for us."

"Agh? I can't see anything..." Felix narrowed his eyes trying to see the top of the hill.

"Hah, do you really think you can see anything like that?" Reto chuckled.

"I actually have great eyesight! Even though I'm at the bottom, but thanks to my skills I can see everything around us, and height doesn't matter to me!" Felix said proudly as he placed his hands at his sides.

Felix smiled, "Well, that didn't help you notice me, did it? So just follow me if you want to meet our leader, I'm sure it will be a life-changing encounter for you."

Felix gulped.

Whooooooooooooosh.

Reto jumped high up, instantly rising more than ten meters. Felix appreciated his leap and did the same himself. Like two flashes they moved rapidly upward until they reached the very top.

"And... Where's your leader?" Felix was puzzled as there was nothing around, just a few trees and a massive rock that overlooked the entire area.

"Maybe it's time to show yourself? Don't you think so?" Reto uttered with a slight smile as he looked at the boulder.

Nothing was happening and Felix was beginning to doubt that Reto was telling the truth, but just as he was about to ask him about it a loud click was heard.

Click.

The space around the boulder trembled as a white sphere of several magical circles appeared.

"Reto, I didn't know you had such keen eyesight, I didn't think you could see that I was here." A powerful voice sounded as the orb became several times larger quickly covering the entire top of the hill.

"Well, I can't see through such a tricky barrier, but I just knew you'd be here." Reto shrugged as he met Wain's gaze.

Wain was sitting on a boulder with his hand placed on his knee. There had been battles all around the hill, all over the Voids, but it was peaceful and completely safe here.

"You own this Void...?" Felix asked uncertainly since he could not sense Wain's aura at all.

"Yeah, that's me." Wain grinned, "Your name is Felix, right?"

"Yes." Felix nodded, "By the way, is it just me or do you look a lot like Nameless King? I had a chance to find out what he looks like recently, you're just the same face." Felix said with a slight smile, not realizing how ridiculous that sounded.

"Hah, you know, I've never been told that before, though I know why." Wain chuckled.

Felix gave him a questioning look.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At the same moment, Wain released part of his aura and Felix instantly understood. A chill ran down his back as he shuddered as if he were facing someone infinitely stronger than him.

"No way... This can't be..." Felix muttered in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

Only a fairly limited number of people could know what the Nameless King looked like since only those who were near the shining tree could have a picture of him. However, even if someone like Felix found the picture with someone, it was still unclear when they met him in person as Wain restrained his energy.

"Yeah... our leader is Nameless King. We're used to it by now, but when we found out about it we were as surprised as you were." Reto shrugged with a slight smile on his face.

Felix stared at Wain for a while and couldn't take his eyes away from him. He looked as if he'd seen an idol he'd dreamed of meeting since he was a kid.

"Hah, he seems even more surprised than you are. I haven't told my story to many people, so this kind of stare is not at all usual for me." Wain smirked as he jumped off the boulder, then Felix finally came to his senses.

"Oh... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you!" Felix bowed low with a frightened expression on his face.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Wain said as he put his hand on Felix's shoulder, "Well, I understand you want to join us, don't you?"

Felix raised his head, nodded a few times, and said, "Yes, it would be an honor!"

Felix had been a loner before, for a very long time and Reto immediately sensed this, so he would have agreed anyway. However, the fact that the leader of this Void was Wain, or rather Nameless King, was a real surprise to Felix.

"Fine, then you'll be in the territory with Reto, I mean, you can always leave for other spaces or the wide world, but the magic forest is your home now." Wain patted Felix on the shoulder and turned to Reto, "You don't mind, right?"

"Sure. Not only will I look out for him, but I'll be his new friend. I'm sure Felix is a very interesting man." Reto smiled.
