Nameless King

"Hmm...? What did you say?" Edena muttered in disbelief as she looked at Nicole.

"If Ferner\'s blood is too strong, isn\'t making it weaker the most obvious way?" Nicole said as if it were obvious, "When I fight monsters in my territory, I often give them my blood so they can recover faster."

"Wait... Do you dilute your blood?" Lui Bu asked with a confused look.

"Yeah. One drop for my monsters can be deadly, but if I mix my blood with water, a monster on the Fourth Chronicle can even drink a few drops afterwards." Nicole shrugged.

Edena\'s eyes went wide as for a while she was stunned as everyone else. The way Nicole had suggested was too simple, so much so that they felt foolish that they hadn\'t figured it out themselves.

"Wait... Doesn\'t that mean we can use Wain\'s blood that way? I mean, even if it is greatly diluted, it\'s still Transcendence Level blood, isn\'t it?" Elegan suggested as a gleam appeared in his eyes. Being able to get a lot of Fifth Chronicle monsters was a dream come true for him because then he could not worry about the safety of the area.

"Nah... That\'s impossible." Lui Bu shook his head, "I thought of that too, but you just imagine how greatly Wain\'s blood needs to be diluted so it can be used by weak monsters. In that case, Wain\'s blood would have the same effect as regeneration potions or something like that, it would be a simple waste of such a valuable resource."

"Yes, Lui Bu says it right. Wain\'s blood should be used to help the monsters on the border of the Fourth Chronicle get a powerful energy burst to break into the Fifth Chronicle. You need a certain amount of energy to do that, if it\'s less than that, nothing will happen." Edena explained as she crossed her arms over her chest, "Ferner\'s blood situation is a little different, so Nicole\'s idea might actually work."

Nicole smirked, "Sure. I may not be an alchemist like you, but I\'m not stupid at all!"

"Hmm... I\'m a little confused..." Ferner muttered with an awkward look, "How exactly can my blood help monsters? Wouldn\'t it become useless if diluted with a lot of water?"

Edena remained silent until she answered, "It\'s simple. Your blood is not needed for monsters with two attributes to make a breakthrough into the next Chronicle, your blood is needed to help them adapt."

Lui Bu nodded, "Your crushed blood will gradually strengthen the monsters, also they will get a unique resource from you thanks to which you now have two energies in your body. Anyway, I\'m sure it will work and I want to start experimenting as soon as possible!"

"Fine, if Ferner doesn\'t mind, I\'d advise you to do it right now." Wain said with a slight smile, "Perhaps a few days ago, monsters with two attributes appeared on the borders of the territories. If you don\'t hurry, they may die."

Lui Bu and Edena nodded vigorously as they looked at Ferner with hope in their eyes.

"Hey, you don\'t have to look at me like that, of course, I agree to help you. I will give you as much of my blood as you need. I\'ll be glad if you\'re right and we can save those monsters less fortunate than me. It would be the best reward for me." Ferner said sincerely as he put his palm to his chest.

Whooooooooooooosh.

Suddenly Reto jumped up as the space beside him trembled, creating several illusory platforms that could move at his will.

"Well, in that case, I want to go with you, that sounds pretty interesting." Reto smirked as he swung his arm, moving Edena, Lui Bu, and Ferner onto the platforms.

Reto glanced around at the others, as if asking if anyone else was going with them, but no one answered.

"Looks like the others have too much to do and are busy... That\'s not bad since the four of us will be more than enough." Reto muttered with a sly smile on his face before snapping his finger. The illusory platforms came into motion as in a few seconds they had already traveled hundreds of meters.

"Damn, it\'s been a long time since I\'ve seen Reto this energetic, it looks like he really wants to see if Lui Bu and Edena can make it." Wain muttered as he looked at their retreating silhouettes.

"What are we going to do...?" Nicole asked with a thoughtful look as she touched her lips.

Elegan sighed, "We\'ve had enough rest and seen some incredible things, so it\'s time to get back to work. I\'m sure everyone here has important things to do. I need to get ready for our Void Chronicle increase soon."

Sarras nodded with a serious expression, "Yeah, I have a lot to do, too. If Edena\'s experiment proves successful, I need to be ready for it. Perhaps then I can create an undead with two attributes, that would be a real triumph! Also, I want to use your blood, Wain, I can heal the undead, so they can withstand more pressure than normal monsters."

"Fine. I wish you success." Wain smiled as he nodded slightly.

After a moment, it was just Wain, Frigus, and Nicole at the massive table.

"Wain... What about what you were saying?" Frigus asked uncertainly, which wasn\'t like him at all.

"Sure, let\'s do it. Everyone\'s a little busy right now, so I\'ll start raising this Void Chronicle a bit later, we\'ve just got some time." Wain nodded.

"Hmm...? What are you talking about?" Nicole muttered in a confusion.

"Come with us, you\'ll see for yourself." Wain smirked as his aura intensified considerably.

...

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Nicole sat on the massive dark peak, watching the two flashes, blue and black, fighting, with wide open eyes.

"Damn... Frigus and Wain are incredible, but what did he mean when he talked about awakening consciousness in a weapon? Maybe I should find the right weapon, too...?" Nicole muttered in a confusion.
