Nameless King

"Mr. Olax, what would be your decision? Should we all, the Shining Star squad go to Azure Tail to destroy them?" Silvia asked, staring intently at Olax.

Olax frowned, he didn't want to agree with Silvia, but he also couldn't think of a decent answer that was logical and reasonable.

"If you don't mind, I can deal with it." Sven quietly didn't say and without waiting for Olax's answer, he headed forward.

"Hmm? What are you going to do?" Silvia was wary.

"Nothing much. I'm just going to answer your question. You say that since we're members of the same squad, we should always act together. However, that's completely illogical to me." Sven said calmly as he looked contemptuously at Silvia. novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

"Are you really so stupid that you don't understand the obvious? Our squad originally had seven members just because the strongest Arkans have a seven-pointed star on their chest. It was simple and logical, however, a lot has changed since our squad was founded."

Sven's aura intensified, "It is already obvious to everyone that I, Marlis, and Osvald, are superior to you. In this case, you are the second class squad, while we are first class. We have different tasks."

Sven spoke calmly, but the endless arrogance in his words sparked a rage in each of the four and made Olax begin to worry. He didn't want there to be a combat conflict between his strongest warriors.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The tension in the room rose as from Silvia, Jan, Orlina, and Nick, there were powerful currents of energy that could easily scare even a grown Dragon, but Sven had no emotion.

"You think too much of yourself! The one who should be making decisions is our leader, Mr. Olax, not an arrogant bastard like you!" Silvia exclaimed furiously, but she restrained her anger by not attacking Sven.

"Well, there's no need for that. Our argument can be resolved very simply. Let's test your competence. If we are members of the same squad we should be equal in strength, shouldn't we?" Sven said calmly as he waved his hand.

"What are you getting at?" Silvia frowned, "Do you actually want to fight us right here? Don't be a fool! Just agree to act all together as you did before. Shining Star is only at its peak when all its members act together!"

Sven remained silent, staring intently at Silvia as if he were making some important decision.

"No. I don't want to fight you all, that doesn't make sense, just you." Sven sighed, "If you can give me decent competition, you don't even have to win, then not only will we act together again, but I'll also pass my place as a leader to you."

Everyone's eyes went wide as no one expected Sven to offer something like that.

"Give me at least one serious wound, get my blood flowing, that will be enough to prove me wrong." Sven spoke as he touched his chest.

Silvia frowned; she knew she didn't stand a chance against Sven, after all, he was their captain. However, this was her chance, she could use her speed to attack first.

"Mr. Olax, what is your decision? Do you give permission for us to duel?" Silvia asked with clenched fists and a menacing look directed at Sven.

Olax rubbed his chin for a while with a thoughtful look.

"Well... I don't mind. After all, you're all members of the Shining Tree, so you have to make all decisions amongst yourselves. If Silvia wins, so be it, you will all go to Azure Tail's space together."

"Hah, what a sly old bastard." Wain shook his head as a sly smirk appeared on his face, "He knows she doesn't stand a chance against Sven, though she looks pretty strong."

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Immediately after Olax gave his permission Silvia's energy increased several times as her silver hair soared upward. A gray aura appeared around her that looked like hundreds of chains with sharp tips.

"I don't need your place as leader, all I want is for every member of the Shining Star to work together with everyone else!" Silvia exclaimed as she extended her arm forward.

Whooooooooooooosh.

Her energy turned into massive chains that headed toward Sven with great speed. He watched with a calm gaze as the sharp tips approached him, before taking a step to the side, dodging the attack at the very last moment.

The chains flew on, approaching Olax as he stood behind Sven, who seemed not to be paying attention at all.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The chains came down on Olax, as the tips touched his skin, but they could not pierce him. The chains just stood still, as if someone had frozen them.

"Well... Though I had no doubts, I now realize that it is in fact Olax..." Wain muttered with a complicated expression.

At the same moment, all the chains shattered into tiny pieces, as if thousands of years had passed for them in a second and they had become too old.

"Not a bad attack. Looks like you actually have a chance of winning." Olax said nonchalantly with a shrug before stepping aside, "I'll leave you to it, go ahead."

Silvia barely reacted to what happened, since they all knew what Olax was capable of.

Whooooooooooooosh.

Silvia continued her attack, dropping multiple chains on Sven, one after the other. They moved fast and deadly like whips trying to tear their target apart.

Sven silently dodged each attack without emotion. His face was cold and his gaze calm.

"Hah, this girl doesn't really stand a chance against him. Though it's a little intimidating, her attacks are strong enough to easily defeat the Dragon on the God Stage." Wain smirked watching the fight when Sven suddenly didn't appear in front of Silvia.

Silvia's eyes went wide as she did not at all expect that Sven could reach her so easily. All she saw was a white flash.

"How did you do that...?" Silvia muttered.

"It was easy."
