Nameless King

"Well, well, Alucard and Gael are here... The two main fans of the battle are here from the beginning, though it was to be expected." Sven uttered with a slight smile on his face as he stared at Wain, "Show me what you can do. Considering how many powerful persons are gathered here, no one has the power to interrupt your fight."

"Hah, Alucard, I wish I were immortal too." Osvald said with an excited expression, "Just imagine, he can fight without limits for as long as he wants!"

"Pff, I don't believe he's immortal." Marlis spoke in an arrogant manner as she threw her head up, "Immortality is impossible, it's against all the rules!"

"You may be right, but that's the point of the Transcendence Stage. Only by being on this stage can you accomplish something previously completely impossible, like becoming immortal." Sven muttered, took a light breath, and continued, "However, a unique power cannot save you from death as Nameless King is actually dead. Alucard, just an exception to the rule."

Whoooooooooooooosh.

Multicolored flashes appeared on the hill on the opposite side as there were three girls with powerful auras.

"Here we go..." Aurora uttered as her gaze went to the top of the glowing tree. At that moment Wain had already defeated the Wizard, heading toward Virion with a slow step.

'Hmmm...? Arkan with the seven-pointed star? Damn, from the looks of it their strengths are about equal. Perhaps Wain will win, but I can't risk it, I must stop their fight!' Aurora's eyes grew serious as she stepped forward.

'Zero, Maria, we must save Wain before the situation becomes too dangerous. I don't know who he's fighting, but against the three of us he doesn't stand a chance." Aurora said in an ice-cold voice.

Zero and Maria nodded as they followed her. They walked a few steps and were about to jump off the slope when suddenly a powerful pressure came over them.

'What the hell...?' Zero thought while looking at the cracked ground beneath her feet.

"Hmm? Did someone dare to attack us?" Aurora frowned as she turned around. She had just come to the shining tree and all her attention was focused on Wain, so she didn't have time to realize what a difficult situation she was in.

Aurora gathered energy in her hands, preparing for battle as suddenly a shiver ran through her body as the girls' faces turned pale with fear.

Bam.

The pressure became several times greater, as it was impossible to describe how powerful a force was pressing down on them as if an entire planet the size of a star had fallen on them, trying to crush them. At the same moment, they were crushed into the ground, practically buried under it.

'What's going on...!? Maria inwardly exclaimed as primal fear gripped her heart.

They couldn't even move their fingers as only Aurora had enough strength to raise her head and see who had done this to them. As soon as she saw it her face twisted with horror as her eyes opened wide as if she had seen something impossible.

Five pairs of eyes stared at her, each possessing no less power than the Progenitor of one of the Races. Sven, Alucard, Gael, Osvald, and Marlis emanated an eerie aura, distorting space and making everyone around them shudder with fear. They did nothing, they just stared at Aurora with their pressure and it was enough to make her bones ready to break at any moment.

'What...? No way... What are they all doing here? Sven Hellem...?! The progenitors of two races?! What the fuck is going on? This can't be real!" Aurora shouted inwardly, trembling in disbelief.

Even in Lands of the Gods, there were very few creatures on the God Stage, so Aurora was sure of her strength in this territory. She knew that there was only a small chance that they would encounter someone of her level, but there was no way that she could expect someone as strong as Alucard or Sven to be here.

The Transcendence Stage was special, as only exceptional beings with a special path were on this stage. It was almost impossible to meet even one of them, but now there were five at once, which was more than unrealistic.

Gradually the pressure on them began to ease as the girls were able to get to their feet even though they were trembling violently.

"What was that...?" Zero muttered with a startled expression as she looked at Aurora, as well as Maria.

"Shit... Looks like we were too late. We're lucky we're still alive... Well, it looks like the only thing we can do now is watch the fight and hope that Wain wins." Aurora said in a calm voice while shaking her head.

She hadn't expected Wain's fight to attract the attention of such powerful beings, so she simply had no choice but to accept the rules of the game. Zero and Maria were confused, but they too understood what the situation was.

"My Lord... Why did you choose not to kill them?" Krakos asked as he tilted his head, "Weren't they going to interfere in the fight? Suddenly they were going to ruin everything at the most important moment?"

"Nah, don't worry about it." Alucard waved his hand in a careless manner as he looked at the girls, "They seem to know Wain, so now they certainly won't interfere him. Moreover, I don't know what will happen next and I don't want the heir of the Nameless King to be angry with me."

Alucard was one of those who had no fear, but he understood that with the arrival of Sven, Marlis, and Osvald, now even he and Gael could not affect the fight. The five men on the Transcendence Stage held each other back, and though it was a mental barrier it was the strongest.

"Alucard is right. Well, let's see how it ends. Looks like they've figured out it's time for the finale, too." Gael crossed his arms with a serious look.
