Chapter 250 Summoning The Watchdog Of Overternia 7
[Like Kairos, we grant you all that we possess, even those that exist in only another place and another future.]
[Like Antheia, by our blood we offer to quench your thirst. Drink your fill from deep within from our past.]
[Like Shani, our vow and trade are made in front of the [Creator] in this present! in this moment! Answer our call for the payment has been made.]
[Rise! Rise! Rise! Oh, hound of the Regalia. The promise made over millennia must be fulfilled!]
Raylene then slashed her sword in the demonic wolf's direction, and together with it a loud thunderclap resounded. "[DANCE OF VALOR AND GLORY FINALE]! [VALIANT STRIIIIIKEEEE]!" The overwhelming force sent her feet deep into the ground as the woman got buried in the earth!
Vanessa also similarly shifted her aim from Gilthunder to Fenrir and released her arrow. The energy arrow grew as it flew, from an arrow it grew to a lance then eventually a pillar to a gigantic 15-meter column.
"[For as the Lance shall never bend thus to fear I bid farewell!] [TIMORIS VALESTI]!" savage winds raced to accompany the projectile, and everything behind Vanessa got shredded into dust. The racing gales formed a cataclysmic hurricane that flew after the oversized column!
Jade moved her hand to place the array circle in front of her to the skies like a scope. And raised her staff over behind it as she chanted. Over nine magic circles layered themselves behind Jade. Each of them turned into crimson and all of them connected to one another in a kaleidoscope of relentless mana.
"[By our sight we convict all those who sin, unknown to salvation nor redemption] [TARGET LOCK]! [GRACE'S FALL!]"
At her invocation, the crimson meteor stopped falling and turned. It pointed towards Fenrir and started to charge at a frightening pace. The mage responsible for the phenomena continued to cough blood as she guided her magic.
The overwhelmingly powerful attacks were like catastrophes that had enough power to destroy Partisan many times over. Fenrir who lay in the firing line of the attacks did not fret nor even moved. In fact, he even looked bored.
His left head opened its mouth and ate the monstrous blade beam from Raylene. The right head bit the crimson pillar and sucked the hurricane from Vanessa. The central head barked and the meteor shattered into dust and entered its mouth.
Once all three attacks dissipated, the wolf howled in a loud voice. The bone-chilling sound traveled beyond partisan even beyond the Dominii empire. The wolf then looked towards the three empresses and spoke unlike his previous bloodthirsty tone, Fenrir now spoke in a calm voice full of valor.
[I Fenrir the watchdog of Overternia accept the payment of those who paid the blood.]
[By my power, I grant protection to the ones who come from the line of heroes.]
[Now speak children. What task shall my new friends request of me?]
Hiro felt the disappearance of [Malice] from Fenrir. But his wives still drowned in it. Before he could do anything else, at this moment he sensed numerous energy signatures coming from all outside of Partisan.
They came at a speed he didn't think possible. The beings felt around the level of peak adepts. And there were thousands of them. He couldn't even begin counting them as they still kept arriving. When they got within visual range Hiro noticed figures he immediately knew who they were.
The figures had bodies wrapped in shadow as dark as midnight, their eyes, throats, and hearts lit up like stars that were visible from their torsos. They had claws and weapons. The shadows came in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some were in the form of knights, others of monsters. The only similarity was a body made in shadow and eyes, throats and hearts that glowed.
"The Convent..."
Against such speed, hardly any of the security or system users can react before the large army suddenly surrounded Hiro's group. The shadows ignored everything they came across except members of Heavenly sword.
[Mighty Fenrir, We request to become Vaginarnis, please grant your protection!] x3
At that moment Hiro counted over twenty thousand individual shadows circling them. Within the same breath they all moved. Their target, Hiro's empresses!
"SHIT! TSUGUMI! GET UP! I NEED YOU!"
Hiro ran desperately at the speed of sound and drew two long swords from his back. Unlike before, the long swords no longer were made of bone but shone in a metallic sheen.
In an unstoppable assault, the man slashed and carved all the combatants of the shadow's vanguards. He managed to cut apart over a hundred but the other sides all started approaching his wives.
[Hmm. I sense your determination and will. In exchange for creating Vaginarnis, you may no longer call for my power in this lifetime. Do you agree even then?]
As the discussions continued, Hiro ran towards the dragon and executed skill after skill. Upon reaching the center of the battlefield a thousand Hiros appeared in a defensive circle around his wives.
"[PSYCHE ILLUSIO]!"
The thousand Hiros made an Iai stance and quickly drew their katanas and shouted all at the same time towards their opponents.
"[MANA SHOTGUN]!"
A large number of explosions akin to volcanic eruptions echoed all at once. An innumerable flurry of mana sword slashes carpeted the city of Partisan, completely destroying the attacking shadows. Luckily due to the dragon fight, the Partisan authorities issued a district-wide evacuation. Thus there were hardly any civilians in a twenty-kilometer radius.
[We do.]
Just then a gigantic rhinoceros shadow almost as big as Fenrir charged Hiro. The butcher again shifted swords and now wielded a large, wide greatsword. He similarly rushed against the beast in response.
As the butcher and the angry beast approached one another Hiro roared in a loud voice.
"[BLESSING OF METAL]! [APIS DRIVE]!"
The butcher charged towards the Rhinoceros as he held his greatsword horizontally. Due to [Apis Drive] Hiro came at an even greater speed and collided with the beast. The rhino tucked its head to bury its horn into the butcher.
[Then nothing more needs be said. I wish for your success children of the chosen. May the gospel Protect you.]
But instead of shifting, like a tyrant Hiro smashed his sword into the shadow's horn in a test of power. The clash lasted only a second. The skill combo allowed Hiro to shrug off the damage and carved the giant beast in two.
The gigantic monster could not maintain its body and crashed into the ground like an avalanche, before disappearing into nothingness. At the same moment the shadow army's battle lines have reformed. Thousand mounted heavy knights enveloped in shadow lowered their lances.
[AWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!]
Three terror-inducing howls came from the three-headed giant. From the skies came down a trio of pillars of luminescence which landed on Hiro's women. The empresses who currently looked demonic screamed as the light came in contact with them.
"AGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
Hiro's heart started to panic as he did not know how much pain his wives endured. But because this burden granted them power he could not carry it for his wives. At the appearance of three pillars of light, the invisible pressure that nailed Sword Dynasty, the dragon, and Gilthunder lifted.
A thousand horses all neighed at the same time as a column of mounted heavy cavalry charged for Lene, Nessa, and Jade from all directions. Gilthunder similarly brought his spear to bear as he challenged Hiro.
"Well friend, from a dragon, to whatever that dog was to now this. You appear very unlucky no?"
'Shit'
