Nameless King

"Wars, right?" Nicole muttered, "Well, I like fighting. Well, if you can make sure I get a decent weapon, then I'll listen to you and go to Lands of the Gods only when I reach the God Stage."

Wain nodded, "Fine, that's exactly the answer I expected to hear."

Nicole sighed, puffed up her cheeks, and said, "Agh, though I still feel like you tricked me. Reaching the God Stage is hard as hell! I literally just reached the Demigod Stage, so you put a very difficult task in front of me!"

"Hahaha, you already said yes, so now you have no choice. Moreover, active people like you become stronger just during battles, in addition, you are a monster, so it will be more effective for you than others." Wain said calmly as a powerful stream of wind blew, making his hair flutter as well as his coat.

Wain turned around, looking at the misty lands among which was the massive spine of some ancient creature, and said, "Well, it looks like we're there."

At the same moment, the platform of darkness trembled as Wain and Nicole fell to the bottom. The darkness just turned into unconnected streams of energy that quickly disappeared.

"Hmm? What is this place?" Nicole muttered looking around with a curious look. The misty lands and eerie trees reminded Nicole of her territory, so here she felt even better than in other places. This was the atmosphere she liked. Then, she looked at the massive ridge that crossed the mountains and she got goosebumps.

"Damn... What is that?" Nicole pointed to the ridge with a tremble.

Wain looked up and said, "It's the spine of a long-dead dragon. Last time I was here I was too weak to realize how strong this dragon was in life, but now I can feel it clearly."

"Hmm?" Nicole gave him a questioning look since other than Wain's attack during his fight with Frigus, that was the only thing that caused her fear in a very long time.

"This dragon was on the God Stage, you might not think that's very impressive considering you're on the Demigod Stage but don't forget that Dragons have a huge amount of energy." Wain said seriously as he crossed his arms over his chest, "Moreover, this one was at the highest level, and if he hadn't died he might have been able to reach the Transcendence Stage."

Nicole's eyes went wide as she muttered, "Transcendence Stage... Wain, how many Dragons are at this stage? They must be stronger than the others, right?"

Wain was silent for a while before shaking his head, "Well, the Transcendence Stage is something special, so even among Dragons there are only a few who have reached this stage, though perhaps in the last five hundred years someone else has appeared."

"Hmm... Though this Dragon was on the God Stage, it made me shudder with fear, the kind I only felt from your last attack..." Nicole muttered looking at the dragon's massive spine, "By the way, every race has a Progenitor, right?"

"Yeah... The Progenitor is always the strongest member of the race, but not always the oldest. I told you about that, the Angels recently had a new Progenitor." Wain nodded.

"In that case, how strong is the Dragon Progenitor? Have you fought him?" Nicole asked with a curious look.

Wain was silent as his gaze grew darker and deeper until he said, "Well, there was a little argument between me and him back in the day, we fought, but it was only a few attacks, neither of us was seriously hurt."

"Hmm? Why did you start fighting? Did you do something wrong?" Nicole muttered in confusion.

"It's a pretty trivial story. The Dragon Progenitor wasn't happy that I was absorbing too much energy from Dragon World, so he decided to kick me out of there." Wain shrugged as if he was talking about something insignificant, "Anyway, he and I were never friends or enemies, just our interests didn't align."

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Nicole suddenly laughed, so hard that she even got tears as her laugh shook the air.

Wain frowned, "Why are you laughing? Do you think I said something funny?" Wain had absolutely no idea what had caused Nicole to react so strangely.

"Look, I may not know much about the world, but everyone knows that Dragons are some of the strongest beings in our world! They are feared or respected or both, especially the Dragon Progenitor. I can not even imagine how strong he is, it's just creepy! Just thinking about it gives me the creeps!" Nicole exclaimed with a broad smile.

"You started absorbing energy from the Dragon World, completely unafraid of their Progenitor's wrath. Obviously, any owner of space would be unhappy if someone came into their territory and started taking energy. Doesn't that make sense? Hahaha!" Nicole said holding her stomach.

"Pffffffff! I just needed to recover from the fight. I took some energy or a lot... Either way, it doesn't matter! We have to move on if you want your weapon!" Wain waved his hand, turned around, and stepped forward.

"Okay, whatever you say." Nicole smiled as she followed him.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 They headed toward the massive mountain inside which was the cave that was Ceozi's forge. Wain was silent all the way, not because he didn't want to talk to Nicole, but because his mind was occupied with a single thought.

'Ezrin... The new Angel Progenitor is now my ally, but what about that old bastard...?' Wain inwardly muttered with complicated looks, 'In the last Great War, the Dragons hardly participated, they were too busy deciding whose side to take, but what about their Progenitor...? If he had wanted all the Dragons would have obeyed his orders, so he didn't decide either, or he waited...? Then, whose side would he take now?'

The Great War was for Wain the last trial after which he expected to solve all questions, so he had to know who would fight with him and who against him.
