Nameless King



Every creature had its weaknesses and strengths, even those at the very top, whether it was the Nameless King, the Progenitor of the Dragons, or the Rulers of the Arkan World.

The strength of the Plants was their control of energy and the way they interacted with their environment, any tree could become their ally if necessary. 

However, some Plants were able to learn how to use that energy to regenerate, like vampires, only without the serious consequences of exhaustion and thirst.

Crackle.

Sven's needle stabbed into Polosa's head, completely passing through it as dark drops of blood fell onto Sven's cold face.

Whoooooooooosh.

Polosa swung the spear sharply, causing Sven to pull the needle out and jump back sharply. The blade of the spear left a long cut on his neck, from which thin streams of blood flowed.

Sven put his palm to the wound as the corners of his mouth went up, forming a satisfied smirk. Compared to the damage Polosa had sustained, the shallow cut wasn't anything significant.

"Bastard... How dare you do this to me..." Polosa muttered with difficulty as she fell to one knee, holding on with her hand to keep from falling completely.

The Plants that were watching the fight were completely shocked as their eyes went wide. At first, fear consumed their hearts, they thought Sven's attack would kill Polosa, however, things turned out to be much more complicated than they had imagined.

"It can't be... She survived that...? I can definitely see her brain through that hole..." The man with the long beard muttered while his long green mantle fluttered in the wind.

"Well... I knew the Queen had very good regeneration, which is obvious given her strength and experience, but isn't that a bit much? Except for Alucard, no one could have survived that..." His buddy spoke with a dazed expression.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

A mighty stream of blood gushed from Polosa's wound as if bringing her closer to death, but, the next moment, her spear glowed brightly. Red energy pulses passed through her entire body as her wound quickly healed, not even a trace remained.

"Agh... That was bloody unpleasant, you know?" Polosa took a deep breath as she stared intently at Sven, then at his wound, "Looks like I was able to get you too, doesn't it?"

Sven smirked, "Have you lost your mind already? You just practically died, and yet you're happy about a simple scratch?"

Polosa shook her head, then she slowly pointed the tip of her spear toward the ground, striking it once on the ground.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The castle shuddered as energy waves began to emanate from the tip of the spear, spreading around. It did not affect the Plants, nor on Marlis and Osvald, however, the waves had a strange effect on Sven.

His small wound suddenly grew wider as a powerful stream of blood gushed out of it. Sven's eyes went wide as he quickly covered the wound to stop the bleeding, but that was only the beginning of his problems.

The blood, caught by the radiation of the wave, like a parasite began to spread along Sven's neck, heading for his head and bringing him terrible pain.

In fact, Sven only had a few seconds to make the right decision, otherwise, the situation could have become critical, without a positive outcome for him.

Whooooooosh.

From Sven's palm, burst out a white energy, dense enough to cauterize his skin, and cleanse his blood of harmful impurities.

"Tsk." Polosa snorted with a frown, "Honestly, I didn't think you'd have time to react. Well, now you know you have to watch out for every attack I make." novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Polosa was already fully regenerated as she confidently headed forward. It took a lot of energy to regenerate, but her spear constantly absorbed it from the environment, gradually replenishing its reserves, and, because her hand and spear were now one, it also made her stronger.

Sven turned his neck, stretching it, then he took a deep breath, "Agh, I must admit that was unexpected. However, my plan of action is very simple, I just don't need to fall under your attacks, just like before."

Polosa smirked as she pointed her spear at Sven, "I get stronger, while you will get weaker after each exchange of attacks, sooner or later I will overpower you."

"Maybe." Sven shrugged, "Although, first you need to find out where to get your energy from."

Polosa's eyes went wide as Sven's silhouette blurred.

"Since you'll have to expend a large amount of it in order to heal your wounds." Sven's voice echoed around him.

"Wounds?" Polosa muttered in confusion.

Whoooooooooosh.

In a heartbeat, Sven, like a ghost appeared before Polosa, waving his weapon. Polosa reacted quickly as she put out a block with her spear, but, Sven's needle had already pierced her body several times.

"You're too slow." Sven said, bouncing back just before Polosa's spear should have reached him.

Now only the strongest Plants as well as Guards were watching their fight, however, only Wain could see Sven's every move.

'Damn, that's impressive. She didn't even have time to blink, but the needle had already managed to enter and exit her body several times, leaving serious damage in its wake. Sven's speed is impressive, maybe he even surpasses Gael...' Wain pondered with a complicated expression.

He felt a little strange, Sven was winning which was obvious, but Polosa hadn't yet used her Form.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Streams of blood rushed from Polosa's shoulders as well as from ten other places, all over her body. She could not even speak, for her throat was wounded too, and there was a wide hole in it as if someone had removed the centerpiece.

Her spear glowed brightly as streams of energy went to her wounds, quickly repairing them, but, this time Sven didn't wait until she was ready to fight again.

"Hey, I saw Alucard fight once, I must admit he's a real monster, his regeneration is a long way from you. Compared to him, you're pathetic." Sven said coldly, swinging the needle and leaving several more through holes in Polosa's body.

"Agh!!!" Polosa cried out in pain, trying to repair her wounds at the same time.

However, Sven was not going to stop, he was ready to continue until not even a drop of blood remained of Polosa.
