Nameless King

Wain and Kadridas reached the end of the bridge and found themselves in the square where there was a massive statue of the Dragon, in their fighting guise. The Dragon had a formidable yet wise look and even from its statue emanated a majestic aura.

"Who is this...?" Wain asked while examining every detail.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that one of the Elders that was more involved in building this bridge than the others. It's not bad, but... it's just a beautiful construction, nothing special." Kadridas shrugged in a careless manner.

"Huh, I thought you were supposed to respect the Elders, but it doesn't look like it." Wain grinned.

"Well, I only respect a few beings in the entire universe and most of them are already dead, that's pretty ironic, isn't it?" Kadridas uttered with a saddened look.

"Where are we going?" Wain asked.

"Hmm? I don't know... Where would I go?" Kadridas muttered while rubbing his chin in a thoughtful manner, "Right! I'll head over there!"

Kadridas pointed to a massive snow-white building that was on top of one of the mountains.

"When you find what you came here for, look for me there. I will return you to the World of Destiny and our little adventure will be over." Kadridas said, spreading his wings and flying away. Wain didn't even have time to say anything.

"What the hell...?" Wain muttered in a confused manner, "He just left me here...?"

'Huh, did you think he was going to lug you around like a babysitter?' Gladius grinned.

'No, but isn't that weird? They have such serious security at the entrance, but now I can do whatever I want.' Wain inwardly muttered.

'Well, if they let you in here, that means they're sure that even if you start making trouble, they'll deal with you quickly.' Gladius said in a calm voice.

'Sure... Okay, it's time to get on with what we came here to do. Where is your shard?' Wain asked as he looked around.

'There.' Gladius said as his aura intensified.

Wain felt the direction and looked at the forest that was between three mountains, that as though on purpose were the same height.

"Damn, that's pretty far." Wain said before heading forward.

'Be careful. I know where my shard is, but I was separated a few hundred years ago, so... I can't be sure what's near it. Also, the greatest danger to you is not the Dragons, but the monsters.' Gladius uttered in a calm voice.

'Monsters? Are you serious? I don't mean to sound conceited, but I'm sure I can beat someone from the Top 10 on Colosseum now, so could monsters be a danger to me?' Wain grinned as he thought Gladius was being overly cautious.

'Don't be so arrogant. Do you think these monsters are interested in fighting at the Colosseum? You know there are those in this world who are strong enough to make the Top 10, but they just don't see the point in it.' Gladius said in a confident manner.

'All these monsters live in Dragon World, fight, and absorb pure energy. What's more, any monster that has ever seen Dragons fight gains more knowledge from it than a hundred years of practice.' Gladius uttered.

"Fine, I hear you, and I have the opportunity to test their power right now." Wain smirked as he walked to the edge of the ledge.

The battle between the wolf and the lizard was not yet over. They were in no hurry to attack each other furiously as though they were wild beasts. Their fight was like a duel between two experienced warriors as they only acted when they were sure they could succeed.

Whoooooosh.

Wain's silhouette blurred as he turned into a dark flash. He didn't resort to the power of the Light Racer, it just wasn't necessary.

"Hey, I think your fight has gone on long enough, doesn't it?" Wain said with a devious smile on his face as he appeared above the monsters.

The lizard and the wolf weren't expecting anyone to suddenly interfere in their fight, but they only had to look at each other once to decide what to do.

The lizard opened its mouth wide as he spat at Wain, a massive blob of magma. At the same time, several blue, lightning spears headed toward Wain.

They attacked from two sides, while Wain was in the air, so he had nowhere to run. The fire and lightning came quickly toward him as Wain's pupils narrowed.

Particles of darkness appeared on his fingertips as he swung his arms up and down. It was enough to create two walls of darkness that absorbed the power of the two attacks.

Boooom!

However, it wasn't enough and there was a deafening explosion that caused a powerful shockwave. Wain covered himself with his coat and burst out of the flood of darkness, flames, and lightning.

"Well, well, are you sure you were fighting each other, nor waiting for someone like me to interrupt you?" Wain smirked as he landed on a massive tree branch.

"Go away..." The lizard muttered in an ice-cold voice, "You shouldn't have interfered. This is our business, it has nothing to do with you."

"Yeah. He's right." Wolf nodded with a calm look, "If you keep getting in our way, we'll beat you half to death. You were able to block our attack, but there's no way you can handle the two of us!"

Whooooooooosh.

At the same time, powerful torrents of flame gushed from the Lizard's scales as the wolf's claws were covered in a dense layer of electricity and his fur rose.

"Two against one? I thought we were going to fight, all against all, but this is even better!" Wain exclaimed as a jaw-shaped seal glowed on his right arm, "Go! Show what monsters in the Dragon World can do!"

The darkness in his palm turned into a long, dark sword, from which gray energy threads emanated.
