Nameless King

Chapter 563 Dragon Worlds

Wain and Aurora had a rather difficult conversation, still it was important for both of them to maintain an amicable relationship, so Aurora decided not to bring up the subject of the heir again, at least for a while.

"What shall we do?" Aurora asked as he turned to Wain.

"Well... I just wanted to walk, but I have a better idea." Wain muttered while looking downtown, "Walk me to Ern, Erza, and Alas. I want to see them and take us to the best restaurant in this town."

"Huh, what am I, your servant?" Aurora frowned since he pressed his hands to his chest in a disgruntled manner.

"You don't have to be so rude. I just want to meet my friends. Eh... You women can be too cruel sometimes." Wain shrugged while shaking his head.

'Asshole...' Aurora muttered inwardly but eventually agreed to comply with his request as she needed to rest too, after all.

...

Erza, Ern, and Alas were at the training ground of Nameless Castle. It was vast but completely empty since only Aurora was using this area.

"Hey, aren't you tired already?" Ern uttered with a sly smile on his face.

"Shut up... You're just a fucking monster..." Erza muttered while breathing heavily.

Erza's hands were coated with golden energy just as her pulsating lines on her body, but even the Queen's Power wasn't enough to handle Ern.

"This Demon is quite strange. I've never seen anyone with no magical powers completely concentrate all their power on physical strength." Aurora muttered while holding her chin in a thoughtful manner.

They were standing at the entrance to the training area, so Ern, Erza, and Alas hadn't noticed them yet, as they were too engrossed in sparring.

"Ern is actually amazing. At least for a little while, but he was able to put up resistance to Arkans. Perhaps if it weren't for him, that Dragon wouldn't have had time to help us." Wain nodded as his gaze focused on Ern, that was oozing sweat.

"You're lucky Kadridas happened to be near the Royal Forest. He's one of the few dragons who still tries to do his job. For him, though, it was nothing more than entertainment. Those Arkans were beginners; with all the will they had, they couldn't even scratch him." Aurora grinned, "Of course, the same goes for me."

"Huh, you certainly take pride in your strength."

"Obviously, and I have every right to do so." Aurora said with pride.

"Aurora, where do the Dragons live?" Wain asked.

He had seen Dragons twice before, once in their full guise after the merging of worlds and a second time in human form, but he still knew next to nothing about them.

"Why would you do that?" Aurora frowned, "Haven't you had enough trouble? You just evolved, so I'd advise you to avoid dangerous travel."

"Well, I'm just curious." Wain spread his arms apart, "Don't I have a right to know the answer to my question?"

"Okay... But, the answer will disappoint you. Dragons live in a world of their own, just as ours resisted the will of the World of Darkness and did not merge with other worlds. Of course, the Arkans were unable to force the Dragons to do so, not even God himself could have passed into the World of Dragons without their permission." Aurora shook her hand.

Wain nodded silently. Though he was actually interested in learning more about dragons, he decided to ask about their world for another reason.

'Ahahahaha, this Girl is not as important a big shot as she wants to make herself out to be.' Gladius laughed, but only Wain could hear him.

'Why did you have to do that? We didn't learn anything useful anyway.' Wain asked in a confused voice.

'Remember, I never do anything that doesn't make sense, but if I'm drunk, that rule doesn't count.'

'What's that half-assed sword talking about?' Wain muttered to himself.

'Hey! I can actually hear you, damn it!' Gladius exclaimed.

'It's not polite to read someone else's mind, you know?

'Shut up. We absolutely need to get to Dragon World, preferably as soon as possible.' Gladius muttered.

'But... Why?'

'That's where one of my shards is, and it's so big I can feel it even while I'm here. It might be dangerous for you, but you must get to the edge of the Fourth Chronicle first.'

'Well, I think I can get a lot stronger soon... but Aurora says that even God can't get through to the Dragon World, then... what are my chances of that?' Wain was puzzled.

'Huh, I won't meddle in your affairs, but you know someone who can do anything for a price.' Gladius grinned as he fell silent.

'Damn... It might work, but is it worth it?'

"Wain, are you here?" Aurora tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

"Ah, yeah... I was just wondering." Wain nodded as he returned to the battle.

Ern and Erza exchanged dozens of blows in a short period, so powerful that each time there was a shock wave that made the trees sway from side to side.

"Hey, aren't you tired already?" Ern grinned as he turned and kicked her in the side.

Bam.

Erza put up a block with her arms, but Ern's kick literally broke her arm in two as well as several ribs as the impact was so strong it threw her to the other end of the training area.

"Well, looks like that's the end of it." Wain smiled before heading towards Ern.

"Damn. That was cool." Ern stretched his arm upward while steam emanated from his body.

,m "You don't seem to be holding back at all. If you had fought like that in the Forgotten Forest, maybe we wouldn't have needed that Dragon's help." Wain said while slowly clapping his hands together.

"Oh, what people. You're finally awake." Ern smirked, and he noticed the strange aura that emanated from Wain, "Well, apparently, even in your sleep, you were able to become much stronger..."

"Yeah. That was unexpected, even for me."
