Nameless King

Aurora and Gisle signed the scroll as she vowed to protect Last Light in the event of an Arkans attack.

She handed the scroll to Gisle and said, "Looks like your mission is already accomplished. What now? Will you return home?"

"Well, I actually have a lot of work that needs to be done, but do you really think I came here just to get your protection?" Gisle uttered with a sly smile on his face.

"Hmm?" Aurora raised her eyebrows, "If you want to walk around town, go ahead. I think you can learn a lot. Anyway, you're still too young to be a good ruler."

"Huh, you truly are arrogant, though it's not for me to say." Gisle chuckled while shaking his head, "I will definitely do that, but a little later."

Gisle looked at Aurora as his eyes became as cold as glaciers, "I don't care how you treat me, I don't have to be your friend, but we should be allies. That's what I want to discuss with you. Human World and Last Light should make a connection, just this city will be enough."

Aurora was silent for a while as she stared intently at Gisle as if trying to see something.

'Damn, this guy is serious, looks like the humans in the World of Destiny have a decent leader.' Aurora internally muttered as she looked at Wain, 'Maybe it was luck, but he definitely has a talent for surrounding himself with unique people as this isn't the first time it's happened.'

"So, what do you think?" Gisle asked as he put his fingertips together in a thoughtful manner.

"I don't mind since my main goal has always been to help the humans, at the moment I am their leader, so I have to live up to their expectations, however, I'm still not sure about you." Aurora said with a serious look.

"Hmm? Why? Don't tell me it's because of my age, is it?" Gisle asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"No. It's not that. You may be pretty good at negotiating, but I can't talk to you as an equal, so I want you to prove yourself worthy of it." Aurora uttered in a confident voice as she waved her hand.

"Hmm? In what way? If you want to see me run Last Light, we can do it right now." Gisle uttered while in confusion.

"That won't be necessary, I'm sure you're good with it. I want to test how strong you are. You are a leader, so besides being able to negotiate, you must also inspire your men with your great power. If you're weak, you're nothing more than a clerk, in which case there's nothing to talk about." Aurora said as she released some of her energy.

Purple streams of energy moved away from her body and filled the entire space. It looked like a boundless sea of power and majesty.

Crackle.

Suddenly there were electric discharges that turned into several lightning spears. They had enormous power as they made space begin to warp.

'Shit... I had completely forgotten how strong Aurora really is, but... somehow now it doesn't seem like something unattainable, on the contrary, it feels like I will reach the same level soon.' Wain muttered inwardly with a dazed look.

Whoooooosh.

Aurora shook her finger as all spears headed toward Gisle with tremendous speed. He didn't have more than a second to react to this attack, but he didn't do anything, just continued to sit in his chair.

"Oh, not bad. At least you're not a coward, that's good enough." Aurora said in a calm voice as she stopped the lightning spears right at his head.

Gisle raised his head, looked at the spears that hung above him as though Sword of Damocles, and muttered, "Well, you're wrong. I was scared as hell as I got goosebumps all over my body, and your obvious murderous intent made my heart ache with fear. For a moment I even thought death was near."

"Hmm? Why didn't you try to dodge or defend yourself then?" Aurora asked with a confused look before dispelling the spears.

"Huh, it's simple, I knew you wouldn't kill me. It's just impossible since it doesn't make any sense." Gisle said with a slight smile on his face as he shrugged.

"Tsk. Was your faith in this so great? Then why did you think I would kill you, even if only for a moment?" Aurora frowned.

"Well, I'm just too smart to trust my brain at times like this." Gisle grinned as he stared at Aurora, "I passed your test? Can we discuss the alliance now?"

"No. That was only the first stage. I want you to fight someone and win." Aurora said with a serious look.

"Is that really necessary?" Wain asked as he glanced at Aurora, "Maybe Gisle isn't as strong as me, but he's definitely one of the strongest in Last Light, given that he spends most of his time developing the city, not fighting."

"Ah, determined to protect him? I didn't expect you to do that." Aurora grinned, "Well, I'm still not changing my mind. I want him to beat this person."

She got up, headed for the exit, and said, "Come on. Wain, you're definitely going to love this fight. Don't you want to see what your friends were able to accomplish?"

"Friends?" Wain muttered while in confusion, then his eyes widened, "Are you talking about...?"

"Yeah. Ern, Erza, Alas, and the girl that Ern brought here recently, I think her name is Alice, if I'm not mistaken." Aurora muttered with a thoughtful look.

'Alice is here? That's right, I wanted to talk to her. If I want to better understand what's going on here I need to know more about her world...' Wain muttered inwardly while holding his chin.

Crackle.

Gisle got up from his chair and headed toward Aurora, 'Well, I don't mind. It's even a little insulting that you think I can't handle a few fighters."
