Back at the BHR command center as the majority of the battles came to a close, Dylan stood up to leave.
A woman asked him in confusion. "Your Highness, are you not going to watch them to the conclusion?"
"No, I have to prepare for the myriad of things to come: Backlash for those that died. Gratitude for those that were protected. And deals for those still interested in using Hiro as a weapon. Tell him I will pay him a visit soon."
Both Alan and Xing nodded in agreement. As the backlash about the assassinations could be shut down by the rule about legalized murder. The culmination of Dylan's warning and Heavenly Sword's performance would be the allies the prince would gain.
The tangible benefits would be the kingdoms that build relations afterwards. By protecting his allies, with the hound known as the Wolfen butcher many would seek Dylan's protection. Even just one of Hiro's subs could serve as guardian and there were eight aside from the butcher himself.
As the prince left, the couple looked back to the magic CCTV and wondered how today would change the continent. Truly the existence of such a power would cause those on top to not remain silent. In excitement, Alan thrummed his fingers on the table.
Xing who noticed her lover's agitation placed her hand on his and sweetly asked. "Alan, is there something on your mind?"
"I am just amazed how much one person could change the world. Ever since Master came here, he has been at the center of upheaval after upheaval. How would our days be in the future?"
The woman rested her chin on her man's shoulder as she replied. "I agree, I am left in awe when I think of what he would accomplish in a decade. By then he would not only rule kingdoms but maybe even humanity."
She then took his hand and kissed it. "And you were the first person to see his potential, the power you hold as his representative is enormous. On top of giving you to me, I owe him much. Just promise me one thing, Alan. No matter what happens— we stay together."
Seeing the loving thoughts radiating from his lover, the Srayver merchant wrapped his arms around her and gave her a deep kiss. "I vow on my life Xinger. Until the world ends we stay together."
The couple then looked back at the matches approaching their climaxes. After today, from being unknown, The name Hiroto Musashi, and three swords battle harem would become the most celebrated and feared names on the continent. Things were going to get busy. And the pair were excited about what would arrive.
——————————-
In one of the arenas, a woman sat on a Caliber Jian as she looked at her nails out of boredom. In front of her, the boundary between the dead and the living blurred as an unbelievable spectacle occurred.
The arena competitors were fighting with each other many wielding Tsugumi's Jians. That would not be what made the people gaze in awe though. Up on the stage, a battle between the living and the undead transpired.
That is right, the ones fighting with glowing Caliber weapons made from the sword saint's energies each had fatal wounds. Ruptured hearts, sword holes between the eyes, some of them no longer had heads. Like zombies, they kept standing up and fought those that had yet to die.
"Oy! Bitch! What the hell is this are you a necromancer? Call them off! This should be illegal!" "Yeah! Thats right! Isn't necromancy illegal according to the church of Eternity?" "Woah! That was close! How do these corpses still even move?"
Even after the majority disparaged her, Tsugumi ignored them all and was chatting with her hubbies.
[Tsugumi]: Hubbies, this is so boring! Can't I just fight like the rest?
[Geo]: Dear, please endure. You are far too strong. You severely lack self-control.
[Tsugumi]: How rude! You make me sound like a muscle-bound warmonger!
[Aurum]: Baby, an opponent befitting your prowess will come, please keep it in for now okay?I think you should take a look at
[Tsugumi]: Hmph! What will you do for me if I do?
[Lars]: I will give you a foot massage. Is that okay love?
[Tsugumi]: I want a full body massage with all three of you in underwear and covered in oil.
[San-Baka:] …
[Tsugumi]: Ah, my hand is itching, maybe I should do some drills?
[Aurum]: Baby relax! Okay, we will do it.
[Geo]: Ugh, dear please stop using violence to get your way, you are becoming more like master every single day.
[Tsugumi]: HAHAHA! I am? Wonderful!
[San-Baka:] …
Originally Tsugumi had a calm and joyful personality as Frejit. However ever since she unlocked Aura, her personality began shifting. Due to being unaccustomed to the sudden aggressiveness as she lacked the intelligence to hold herself back, the sword saint became extremely impulsive.
In battle, she turned cold like ice, but towards her harem, she became increasingly affectionate and demanding. She had yet to consummate her relationship with any of them though. Currently, each of her men wished to become her one and only. But adamant in her ways she intends to get her way and marry them all or remain celibate.
Heavenly Sword had numerous STR-heavy people. Hiro, Raylene, and Ryuuka are the top three. Because of Stat sharing the caliber tendencies were also shared. Currently only Jade and Geo had a high INT to share, thus it could be said they were all aggressive as a group.
In the Apocalypse zones, Hiro and Tsugumi separated to train their group tactics. Instead of being a one-time thing, the duel between the three wives and Sword Dynasty become a weekly occurrence. For three whole months, the two groups would meet up every Sunday and fight.
Vanessa, Jade, and Raylene would battle Tsugumi, her hubbies, and Ryuuka. This trained their ability to fight together against a variety of situations. Each week they would try different combat tactics to try and get better at each other.
The zombies wielding swords was a skill Tsugumi created after being frustrated with Vanessa's ability to call on Spirit warriors. By the strictest sense of the word the corpses currently dueling in the arena were not undead but were puppets.
Knowing that they would be outnumbered in the future Heavenly Sword all made it a point to be able to excel in one vs many or army-to-army combat.
Tsugumi's skill [Sword Marionette] was one such skill. By modifying the piece of her soul in each Caliber Jian Tsugumi turned each blade into a remote. Using her INT, she began fighting with each puppet at 10% of her power.
And right now the marionettes were decimating the opposition. Due to being puppets, they could endure much punishment. So long as Tsugumi's 'Sword Qi' flowed in them, they would continue to move. Sword Qi was what the woman called her specific cocktail of Aura and Spirit.
Originally playing with her opponents, when she saw how weak they were she threw sword Jians at two of them and sat to one side. The two sword marionettes then began killing the BHR participants. With each death, Tsugumi's Sword Qi would flow.
Like a virus, the marionettes multiplied exponentially. Thus from just a pair, there were now over thirty assaulting the survivors. Due to being both Hiro's affectionate paramour and Sword Dynasty's dom the sword saint right now outclassed both the Vaginarnis and the dragonkin even as a normal human.
Such is the power of the Battle Harem System.
