Nameless King

Crackle.

Erza climbed out from under the rubble while holding onto her broken arm with a painful look.

"Freak! You sure used some kind of trick! How can you be so strong!" Erza exclaimed as she looked at Ern, and her eyes widened.

Wain stood next to Ern and looked at her with a slight smile on his face.

"Wain...? Are you awake...?" Erza muttered while in disbelief.

"Exactly. Did you really think I was going to die or something? Although, from the looks of it, the closest thing to death right now is you. Ern did a good job on you." Wain grinned as he pointed to Erza's hand.

Erza flinched, stood up straight, and said, "What? What are you talking about? I was just dusting myself off! All that stupid Demon was able to do was toss me aside!"

Even though she was in a lot of pain, she didn't want to show it to Wain as she was still deeply convinced that women should always be stronger than men.

"Huh, who would even believe that?" Ern smirked, "You need to stop trying to look tough, or else one day you'll embarrass yourself in a really serious way."

Whooooooosh.

Suddenly a golden flash appeared next to Wain, that was Alas.

"I'm glad to see you." Alas said with a smile on his face as he held out his hand.

"I too." Wain nodded, shook his hand, and asked, "You didn't seem to be sparring, did you?"

Alas had no wounds or scratches, that was impossible in a battle with Ern or Erza, but his energy and face looked just like a squeezed lemon.

"Well... The Royal Spirit says I have to learn how to use my new energy properly first. Honestly, it's very difficult, but I've made some progress in a week." Alas nodded.

"Exactly!" Suddenly came the voice of the Royal Spirit, "You have to try harder! If you don't get stronger, you'll never be able to handle Arkans!"

"Oh... It looks like you already know about them, too, right?" Wain asked as he tilted his head.

"Yeah... I couldn't even imagine that someone like that existed, but that's even a good thing."

"Hmm?" Wain raised his eyebrows.

"That's a great incentive to get stronger, isn't it? I'm sure it must be especially important for you since they attacked you." Alas spoke with a confident look while a fire burned in his eyes that reflected his will.

"Good. You have a great attitude." Wain nodded.

'Arkans... I should be careful. There's no telling how long the Dragons will defend the World of Destiny.' Wain muttered inwardly, 'The Dragons are strong, but from the looks of it, they are more like madness old men than wise guardians of the world. Who knows what they will come up with.'

Step. Step. Step.

Aurora approached them with a disgruntled look and said, "I hope you've talked enough? Come on, it's definitely better to do it in a restaurant than here."

"Restaurant?" Alas and Ern exclaimed simultaneously in a dazed voice.

"Yeah." Wain nodded, "Even though Aurora is damned mean, but she's right. We all need to rest and live like common people for a while."

"Great! I'm hungry as hell! I hope the humans like meat, or I swear to God I'll eat somebody!" Ern said with a happy look.

"Great. Let's go already." Aurora shook her head as she headed for the exit with Alas and Ern.

Wain followed them, but he stopped and turned to Erza, who stood there with a saddened look.

"I'm not hungry, so I'd better stay here and continue my training." Erza muttered as she tried to ignore the pain.

'Damn... Sometimes I think she's a kid trying to be an adult.' Wain shook and walked over to her.

"What do you want? I already told you everything."

Wain didn't respond. He silently touched her arm and pressed lightly on a point near the fracture.

"Ek!" Erza flinched as if she were a little girl.

"Ern is very strong, each of his blows is like a massive hammer, so no wonder you were wounded while fighting him, but there is no need to hide it. Only children try to hide the obvious things." Wain said with a calm look.

"Shut up!" Erza exclaimed as she clenched her wounded hand into a fist but immediately unclenched it as she was in too much pain.

Whooooooosh.

The ring on Wain's finger glowed brightly, and the dark potion that Edena gave him appeared in his hand.

"What is it?" Erza asked.

Wain ignored her, uncorked the potion, and poured the liquid directly onto her wound. The potion was very viscous, like tar, but it had amazing healing properties.

The liquid turned into a multitude of dark needles that pierced Erza's skin. She wanted to cry in pain but suddenly realized that she only felt a pleasant warmth.

"Done." Wain nodded as he tossed the empty vial aside, "That's much better, isn't it?"

Erza stared at him with a confused look as she could not understand what she felt at that moment. Such concern was unusual for her, especially from Wain.

"Thank you..." Erza whispered very quietly so no one would hear as she followed Aurora.

'Eh... What am I doing anyway? She literally wanted to kill me, but now I'm nursing her wounds. I'm definitely doing something wrong.' Wain muttered to himself.

Aurora watched them closely, so when it was over, she turned to Ern and asked, "Demon, are these two having an affair?"

"I actually have a name, you, old witch." Ern frowned.

"Shut up. Just answer the question." Aurora uttered with a serious look.

"Okay, okay. They're not a couple, although it'd be a dream for Erza. Did you like Wain?" Ern said as a sly smile appeared on his face.

"One more joke like that, and I'll rip your tongue out. It's none of your business." Aurora said with a menacing look as she moved on.

'Well, well, that's quite exciting, although she doesn't really seem interested in Wain as a lover.' Ern muttered to himself while holding his chin.
