Nameless King

In the distance, on one of the many mountains, was a massive temple of azure pillars. It was there that the Dragons of Azure Tail were, planning their next move.

"Damn, there are quite a few of them. Looks like we're not leaving here without wounds." Osvald said in surprise, scratching the back of his head, "What do we do? Attack right now?"

Sven nodded, "No, let's get closer."

"Hmm? Why...?" Marlis was puzzled; she didn't understand Sven's strange decision at all.

"Don't ask unnecessary questions. Every decision has a point, especially mine." Sven said coldly before stepping forward.

Marlis gulped. She didn't say anything as Sven's reaction puzzled her greatly.

Osvald didn't care. If Sven said there was no point in attacking, he was just taking it.

...

Gradually they approached the mountain, the main base of the Azure Tail. Blue clouds hovered over the mountain while powerful winds hit the rock, leaving slash marks on it.

Sven looked at the temple beside it as Dragons with massive blue wings occasionally flew by. Some of them were quite close to Sven, but because of Marlis's skill, they couldn't see them.

'What is he thinking?' Wain was puzzled as he tilted his head, 'Azure Tail suspect nothing, he could attack at any moment.'

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the space shuddered as a massive black magic circle appeared in the air. A few seconds later, a multitude of Dragons with black wings and menacing auras flew out of the portal.

Their auras were furious and powerful, just like their menacing stares. Their attack was sudden, and a few seconds later, dozens of attacks descended upon the temple of the Azure Tail.

"What's going on?" Osvald raised an eyebrow, "Are these Dragons Black Whip? Damn, they decided to attack their opponents right when we got here... Agh... They're going to take all the fun out of it!"

Marlis was speechless, she didn't expect them to be in the middle of a war between two groups.

"Osvald, you're wrong." Sven said calmly as for the first time in a long time, the corners of his lips went up, forming a faint smirk.

Marlis noticed it immediately, giving her goosebumps; Osvald, on the other hand, had never paid attention to such small details.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Osvald was puzzled.

"Black Whip, don't take all the fun away from us, on the contrary, it's because of them that something really significant is going to happen here. Come on, let's go help them." Sven calmly said before jumping forward.

Crackle.

Sven's jump made the ground crack, which puzzled Marlis and Osvald for a moment. They had seldom seen Sven not fully in control of his power.

"Hahaha, looks like something interesting is actually starting to happen." Osvald chuckled as he followed Sven, as well as Marlis.

Sven found himself on top of the mountain, opposite the temple of the Azure Tail, then Marlis's barrier fell and some Dragons spotted them.

Sven was not a particularly well-known figure to the masses, however, the strongest creatures were well aware of his reputation and who he was, so one of the Black Whips went straight to him.

It was a man with thick black hair and massive wings behind his back that seemed to be able to cover even the sun.

"Sven Hellem, third among the Arkans, what are you doing here, along with your team?" The man asked as his gaze passed over Marlis and Osvald.

"We have a mission. We are here to destroy the Azure Tail as they support the Nameless King. I think you understand that the Arkans, can't have that." Sven calmly explained the situation.

The man frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "That's not necessary. I don't know how it was a coincidence that you came here when we decided to attack, but Black Whip can deal with his rival himself."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Dozens of attacks rained down on the temple atop the mountain. None of the attacks had yet destroyed the temple because it was protected by a barrier, but there were already many cracks in the barrier.

The dragons from Azure Tail tried to reinforce the barrier, but since they weren't ready to attack, they didn't have enough resources to do so.

"It's only a matter of time before their defenses fall, then we attack them when they are already depleted. This is the end for Azure Tail, just as it is for supporting Nameless King." The man said seriously as his eyes narrowed, "If you want you can stay here to make sure for yourself, but you shouldn't help us or get involved in any way. I think it's a good offer."

"Damn! What a shame!" Osvald exclaimed with a frustrated expression, "I thought I could fight today, but it looks like we're out of luck again... Agh... Sometimes I start to think that these orders are just getting in our way... I wish we could make decisions for ourselves..."

The man was wary of his reaction, but realizing that Osvald wasn't going to do anything, he calmed down.

'These three have tremendous power, well even they must obey the orders of their leader. People like them should always be kept under control.' The man inwardly muttered keeping a serious face.

'Sven, we can leave. Apparently Azure Tail doesn't really stand a chance. Their barrier has already lost 70% of its energy, another minute and they'll run out of energy." Marlis suggested as she was about to open a portal to leave the space.

However, Sven stopped her by grabbing her arm and then letting her go.

"Is something wrong?" Marlis was puzzled as she tilted her head.

"I think our conversation partner misunderstood us. Destroying the Azure Tail is an order from our superiors, it's an obvious target for the Arkans, however, do I look like a soulless puppet?" Sven said calmly as he held out his hand.

"What the hell are you talking about?" The man was wary.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, just that I make the decisions now. It's been pretty hard to hold back, I'll admit." Sven took a step forward as his mantle swayed, revealing the sign of the seven-pointed star on his chest.

The star on Sven's chest trembled as a slit appeared on it that split the star in two, shattering it as a symbol.
