Chapter 132: The Will to Save

April 1st, 2090

General Andos POV

Is what Im seeing here true Corporal? I demanded as I glanced across the screens that showed the situation across Japan. The Chinese managed to get a good sucker-punch in, sending us reeling as they rapidly spread across the country. If it werent for them inexplicably committing the bulk of their forces to Tokyo, wed have been overrun already. As it stands, the JSDF has been holding the line against those Chinese bastards. Hopefully we can hold out until the USA gets off its ass and helps us. Several troop carriers are inbound from Hawaii, but its little comfort considering that our satellites have shown the Chinese determined to exterminate every single living soul. This isnt an occupation, its a genocide.

Reports also indicate chaos is erupting elsewhere in the world, making it quite possible that a 4th World War is on the horizon. I shudder at the thought. Havent we fucking learned our lesson from last time? This is all neglecting the fact that Dante is an actual goddamn demon lord and Pandemonium is a group of demons. Gods, its like this is the plot of a shitty web novel. My men and I have been watching slack-jawed as a goddamn magic battle has been occurring across Tokyo, with cat girls and elves and magical girls and all kinds of other shit going on.

And now this. Im staring at the screen stupefied. I thought that there was nothing that could surprise me anymore. I was wrong. Apparently, this fantasy setting now has a healthy dose of zombie apocalypse as the DEAD ARE COMING BACK TO LIFE!!!! Zombies, skeletons, and even ghosts of samurai from the goddamn Warring States era have been spotted! Ive already received numerous reports asking for orders as the casualties throughout Japan are rising up against the invaders. Not a single undead has been hostile to the JSDF, so I decided to just roll with it.

Yes, it had decided. It shall return to the world once more. Lets see to what heights its new master could rise to.

Reijis POV

I watched in a mixture of confusion and awe at the sight before me. Jumbos attack had been blocked by a sword that appeared out of nowhere. A masterpiece of metal, the sword was a brilliant white that glowed with holy power and shone brightly in the darkness. In lieu of a sheathe, the sword was wrapped by a chain composed of links that alternated between the colors gold, red, white, black, and silver.

I reached out my shaking hand, and grabbed the blade. I felt strength surge up from deep within me, as the blade sang out its joy in having found its new wielder. It spoke its name to me as its radiance forced Jumbo back. I have no clue on how to use a sword, but it guided my actions as I raised it up high. Words unbidden came to my lips as the blade shined ever brighter. Free us from the evil in the world! Liberator! I swung Liberator downwards, unleashing a blast of magic beyond anything I had ever seen. Jumbo cried out in agony as he was vanquished by the holy light. Ori and the other demons were purified in an instant, not even having the chance to scream.

You did it! the people behind me cheered as I stood there panting. To my dismay however, one of Minatos memory wiping artifacts he had given me suddenly activated, knocking out everyone who had just seen my epic comeback. Damnit Minato! Why do you keep giving me artifacts that activate on their own? Dont you trust me!?! I limped back into the bank, looking over the rows of now unconscious people, casualties to Minatos paranoia. He really is thorough, Id be willing to bet that when those people wake up they wont remember me or my magic. I then looked up and down the street for anymore enemies. Seeing none, I gratefully collapsed and let unconsciousness take me. Even with the added strength from Liberator, I had reached my limit. But it was worth it. I managed to protect everyone after all.
