Nameless King

"I want you to understand that our main goal is to get rid of Crystal. Your job is only to distract and keep enemy fighters away from me, so I don't want you to die for no reason." Skyla uttered as she put her hand on Nina's shoulder, "Follow Nina, and no one will die, I'm sure of it."

"Yes!" Green Cats members exclaimed.

"Finally, I want to introduce you to our two allies." Skyla pointed to Wain and Teresa as Guild members turned in their direction.

"Hello." Teresa nodded slightly while Wain remained silent.

"They have special skills so we can destroy the barrier around Crystal, so their presence is imperative." Skyla said in a serious voice, "Okay, now go!"

Whooooooosh.

Skyla with Fosko jumped off the base wall as they headed down to the third level of Granite Caverns.

"You heard Miss Skyla, we must not let her down, the future of our Guild depends on it!" Nina exclaimed, emitting an aura and heading after them with dozens of fighters.

Only Wain and Teresa were left in the square a few seconds later.

"Well, well, it looks like they're serious. This is starting to feel more like a war than a mission." Wain muttered while slowly walking forward.

"Can we do this?" Teresa asked with a worried look.

"Sure. Skyla has really unique abilities, when you see it, you will definitely be surprised. Okay, come on, let's keep up with them." Wain said before turning into a dark flash.

"Ah... He's acting sharp as always." Teresa sighed while shaking her head.

...

Skyla, Fosko, Nina, and the other Green Cats members moved toward the third level. They had to go through several dangerous areas where strong monsters lived to jump down in certain places and so many times in a row.

Granite Caverns, even though they were called that but the caves were too big and wide as they were more like huge locations with their own special features.

"Huh, it's pretty crowded here, isn't it?" Wain muttered while falling down as he looked at the people that were fighting the monsters in the distance.

"Yeah. It's a good place to hunt. Even though our area of influence has increased considerably, Last Light doesn't yet have such large hunting grounds." Teresa muttered.

"Maybe we'll get some soon." Wain said before jumping off another ledge.

A large group of members of one of the strongest Guilds could not go unnoticed, so in time people began to realize that something massive was brewing.

"Hey... Isn't that the Green Cats?" Someone said with a dazed look.

"Yeah. It looks like they finally decided to attack the Twilight Embers, that's to be expected. They're pretty well prepared, but who are those two behind them?" His mate muttered in a puzzled manner.

"Wait... Damaged white mask, black hair, green eyes, and a torn dark blue cloak... This is Nameless! The most prolific newcomer to the Colosseum! They say that during his last fight, a real Dragon appeared!" One of the fighters exclaimed in disbelief.

"Nameless? No way! Is he going to fight? Damn, I want to see it!"

Teresa looked at Wain as she still didn't understand that they were talking about him, but when she looked at his World of Darkness card, her eyes widened.

"You're Nameless?!" Teresa exclaimed.

"Of course. Didn't you know that?" Wain looked at her with a surprised look.

"No... Hell, you have no idea how popular you are! As soon as I got to the Colosseum, the first thing I heard was your name!" Teresa uttered.

"Huh, you want an autograph?" Wain grinned.

"Very funny." Teresa frowned, "How do you think the mission will go if this crowd follows us?! There's already over ten of them, but at this rate, it's going to be over a hundred!"

"Hmm... They're not particularly strong, but then why do they know about Colosseum and about me? Okay, maybe it's for the best. Third level monsters can handle them easily, but we'll take action too." Wain said before his eyes shone brightly with golden light as his hair grew longer.

Wain didn't want to use other forms in front of strangers, so he decided to limit himself to the Light Racer.

Whooooosh.

Wain turned into a golden flash that, along with Teresa, headed into the tunnels in the distance. Wain moved at a tremendous speed as though a thread was piercing the cave network, so after a while, he was out of sight of his pursuers.

"Did you use that power during that fight?" Teresa asked while getting off Wain on the ground.

"One more question, and I'll run away from you, too. I am Wain to you, not Nameless, do you understand that?" Wain said in a serious voice since he approached Teresa as his eyes looking directly into hers.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say, just don't look at me like that." Teresa said as she put her hands up.

"Good." Wain nodded.

Whooooooooosh.

From above came Skyla and Fosko, that landed next to Wain and Teresa.

"Hmm? How did you guys get here faster than us?" Skyla asked while in confusion.

"Well, we had to speed up a bit for some reason, but you have nothing to worry about." Wain shrugged as Teresa nodded slightly.

"Okay... Anyway... We're already there." Skyla said while Green Cats members landed behind her.

"Now comes the most dangerous part. Look, they're already waiting for us." Fosko said in a careless manner as he pointed in the side.

A few kilometers away, on the other side of the third level of Granite Caverns, Twilight Embers members were waiting for them. They stood beside a massive blue crystal that was as bright as a star.

The energy from the crystal passed upward as though the beam from the beacon directed to the common energy storage that made the Twilight Embers stronger every day.

'Wain... I need this...' Cursed Swordsman said suddenly.

'What...? Don't tell me...'

'Yeah... I'll absorb that crystal.'
