Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword
Chapter 258 [Vol 2 Epilogue]: Lives Intertwined
As the crown prince of the Dominii shouted he noticed that the air around him suddenly disappeared. Sound needs to travel in the air thus if there is no air there can be no sound. Dylan looked in horror at the woman in front of him.
Yesterday she was Vanessa Mitsurugi, empress ranked sub of the battle harem heavenly sword. Now she is one of Vaginarnis. While the prince understood why she would want to hide the fact that Vanessa was now on borrowed time, he found it unfair.
The crown prince was not dumb, using his spies he managed to piece together that Hiroyuki Mitsurugi and Hiroto Musashi were one and the same. The hardship this transmigrator had to go through would be considered unfair by most. He literally died and got reborn all to reclaim his women.
After much sacrifice, he finally did so only for them to trade their lives to become Vaginarnis. If it was him he would be not only hurt but devastated. It meant even if Hiro defeated the invasion his wives would all die. And they are now intending to keep such a truth a secret.
"My Lady, Why would you do this without his knowledge? I thought you loved him."
At that moment Dylan's neck suddenly got strangled by an invisible force. Unable to resist the prince started to get hanged as his feet left the ground. An angry voice muttered complaints at his remarks.
"Thread carefully prince. Hiro-sama is the most important thing in this world to me. That is the one thing I will not allow anyone even you to doubt!"
Struggling Dylan spoke while having his throat crushed. Unlike normal humans, system users past a certain point no longer need to breathe. So getting strangled was no big deal. It hurt though, so reflexes trying to avoid getting choked would remain in system users.
"Then why? There is a reason the empires never underwent the Vaginarnis ritual. What is the point in gaining power when you sacrifice your strongest children for it? Can you imagine what Hiro would do when all of you three die in front of him!"
"In, ten years we would just need to give him something else to live for." Answered the blond Vaginarnis.
Dylan indignant continued to argue. "With what? You cannot give birth! Your husband will never take another woman as his wife, he said so himself. What will you use to anchor his life if all three of you die in a decade!"
Unable to restrain herself further Vanessa snapped back in anger as tears ran down her face. "AND WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO?! WE ARE POWERLESS! …The man I love wishes to save the world by sacrificing himself! If we do not do this we cannot even follow him! Do you have any idea how much it hurts to see the one you love suffer? DO YOU?!
"The battles will only get harder. My sisters and I made a vow. We will protect him. We will love him, cherish him and die for him. All three of us will never allow him to be sacrificed in this stupid war.
"Speak no more of this Dylan Lancea Dominii. Even as a [Novice] I now have enough power to end you. Stay silent or I will spare not even your wives and children. Do not test me!"
Vanessa used the same invisible force to slam Dylan to the ground. Afterwards, a sound screen and mirage illusion broke allowing the other groups to finally see the crown prince and the strider. The woman silently wiped her tears and raced towards the east.
Two others similarly flew in the skies as they all raced to meet their husband. Dylan who got back up lamented the turn of events. It was clear how much Hiro and his women loved each other. This very reason pushed them to do such acts.
Dylan felt the danger of the invasion become tangible. Originally he still had his doubts but now he grew sure. If Savior royalty from three separate empires all are this desperate. The coming storm cannot be a lie.
"DYLAN!" "Honey, are you alright?"
Two women suddenly threw themselves on the crown prince of the Dominii. One wore shinobi garbs, the other full plate armor. The man could feel their erratic heartbeats with his high AGI. Dylan lovingly stroked their hair as he answered.
"Leto, Talvi, I am fine. Are Autumn, Vesna, and Kael all alright? Did we lose anyone?"
The blond knight shook her head as she reported. "Everyone is okay, we did have a couple of people who can no longer battle, but no one died. Kael took Javelin to assist Heavenly Sword. Vesna is guarding Autumn who is searching the area for something."
Talvi on the other hand interrogated her husband "Honey, I sense a frightening amount of Spirit suddenly vanish from here. Is the empress of heavenly sword the cause? I also see you have some light bruises around your neck, did you guys get into a quarrel?"
The prince calmly answered. "The Vaginarnis are basically Caliber leeches. Unlike normal, they no longer regenerate Calibers on their own. They now need to take it from others like vampires. In exchange, they gained access to various skills only available to the [Awakened]. We can talk about it later. But those girls even at [Novice] rank are now powerhouses."
Dylan then looked on as the three Vaginarnis absolutely massacred the shadows in the west. From what the crown prince could so, the shadows stopped regenerating after Hiro's women transformed. Right now killing a shadow will not bring it back so the battle could be considered in its final moments.
"Let's go girls, I need to speak with heavenly sword quickly before we hunt for Gilthunder."
—————————
With the overwhelming power of his wives Hiro's group quickly annihilated the shadows coming from all over. Afterwards, Heavenly Sword, Sword Dynasty, Alan, and Xing met together. Hiro healed all their injuries while the various couples started flirting with each other.
Before they got comfortable Dylan and his wives approached to discuss about some matters.
"Hiro, I will not hold this battle against you. But I need you to give your word to place during the battle harem royale." Negotiated the prince.
Hiro on the other hand threw him a storage ring as he answered.
"I apologize for destroying your city. And I thank you for your help in supporting my wives. We will be leaving now as we wasted too much time. I will take Alan and Xing with me for now, but I will contact you through them in the future."
Bewildered that they intended to leave immediately Dylan could not say anything. He did not fail to notice the hostile look of Hiro's wives on him. As the prince knew strong-arming discussions never ended well, Dylan dropped the matter and instead checked the storage ring.
A storage ring was essentially a magic device that functioned like a bag. It used space arrays that allowed one to store anywhere from a vault to cargo freighters worth of space. The one Hiro gave had a modest space of about a truck. Upon checking Dylan found magic stones worth about 30 billion Vals.
"… Hiro this is too much, what is this money for?"
"Payment for my people's gear, and compensation for the city. You need money to rebuild right? I will have Allan allocate a portion of our materials to the reconstruction of Partisan. Please accept it."
"Is all this still because I helped your wives?"
"Yes. Also to ensure Rhyne will never be Empress of the Dominii."
Dylan clenched his teeth in frustration at what he heard. When Hiro called him about the Vaginarnis he couldn't tell him anything due to a vow of secrecy. This man didn't deserve to be lied to. But he could not say anything right now.
Unwilling to spend a second longer a large portal opened beside Heavenly Sword. Hiro then saluted Dylan and announced. "Crown Prince Dylan I will head to Valor City three months from how to complete our deal. Thank you for everything. Until we meet again. Kick Gilthunder's ass for me."
Gae-bolg then all saluted in a uniform manner as Dylan answered. "I will stay safe Heavenly Sword until we meet again."
