As Hiro lurked in the Heavenly sword chats Lola continued to grill the prince for the identity of his "friend" and grew frustrated.
"My the prince is really secretive about this person. Our prince Dylan is betting on his friend in the opening rounds! Who is he? How powerful is this man to make even the dominant of Gae-bolg praise his abilities?
"We will find out soon. I can hear the Fujoshis writing fan-fics about this already. Who is on top and who is at the bottom? Hahaha!"
"Lola, that is not nice. My friend has rose-tinted glasses where anyone outside of his family is treated like shit, yours truly included." Dylan answered.
"Oh my! Our handsome prince is being snubbed? This dude better be handsome or the Dylan Fanatics would rip him apart!" The BHR announcer knew how to draw in and entertain the crowd thus she created a warm atmosphere.
[Tsugumi]: OH MY WORD! Nii-sama! You are the top right? Wow! It is getting a bit hot, isn't it?
[All]: …
[Ryuuka]: Tsugumi-Nee-chan I would suggest letting [One with Sword] out now.
[Tsugumi]: You guys are uncultured that is all it is! Could you imagine Nii-sama and Prince Dyan getting hot and steamy as they caress each other?! UGH! I would pay so much for that!
- Alert: [Tsugumi] has been muted for 12 hours in all Heavenly Sword chats. -
Abandoning that disgusting line of thought, Hiro eventually arrived at the arena where thousands sat in simple seats. In the middle was a giant simple square arena ten times the size of a boxing ring.
The butcher estimated it to be 80 meters across. To hold fifty men needed such a wide area so it came as no surprise. It had no other attributes aside from being raised a foot from the ground.
Hiro then felt calibers floating in front of the audience. An invisible screen encompassed the ring. A protective measure to ensure the spectators did not get hurt. Not really caring he headed to a simple desk that looked like the registration area.
Alan and Xing already got the info the moment it was posted. Each combatant is designated an arena and a match. This only happened for the contender's first one though.
Such a measure ensured everyone got to fight at least once. Due to casualties and even fatalities becoming the norm should a participant decide to abandon or fight again it would be done at the reception desk.
The butcher then heard Dylan's voice again before he ended his interview with Lola. "…Well you are free to think what you want Lola, I will say this though. My friend and his battle harem have a unique disposition and I would like to warn everybody competing."
With such a grave change in tone, Lola became silent and allowed the prince to continue. "My friend can see the nature of one's morality. This means he knows who is righteous and can separate them from bad eggs. I partly joined this interview to announce this. With my friend joining bad people will not survive the encounter. So treasure your lives above all."
"My prince, does that mean your friend will cleanse all evil that he sees? Isn't it too much for a person to be a judge, jury, and executioner? I know that current BHR does not encourage murder but what do we do when people intentionally do so?" Lola suddenly turned professional and dropped her over-the-top energy.
Murdering participants carries no penalty. This truth became the biggest difference between this year and all others. It became the elephant in the room. However, Dylan stunned everyone with his next words.
"This is why my friend is joining. I believe in his righteousness and requested him to participate. Because he and his battle harem are here, only those who came here with evil intentions would be annihilated. Please know that I will introduce them by the BHR's end. Thank you for the interview Lola I must leave now."
Hiro who heard the final disclaimer chuckled as he spoke. "This bastard. So you rigged my people to be present with your allies and enemies then. Even the carnage would be something people would credit you for. I know I said to profit as much as possible but you are treating me as your dog in this case."
'Master. Prince Dylan says to please allow his last comment to pass. He needed a way to direct the people once the blood begins to spill.' Allan who was not part of the heavenly sword sent a transmission using the brands for Redeemed.
'Tell him it is fine. But let him know that my battle harem's actions are meant for Rhyne, not him.' Hiro answered.
'Understood. I will tell him, master. May the gospel protect you.' When Alan disconnected, Hiro again scanned the rest of the arenas. Heavenly Sword and Sword Dynasty all were in the process of registering. His wives, daughter, and sister naturally got many admirers but they each had their own manner of swatting flies.
Raylene the most behaved answered like a courteous knight. "Thank you for your praise. I am married please do not concern yourself with me."
Vanessa said harsh words while making an angelic smile. "Kindly take your badly disproportional face to the garbage and get away from me if you please. Your vile presence is making me cringe from disgust."
Jade went the opposite route and ignored them, all while exuding an overbearing about of Mana.
Tsugumi decided to play to her heart's content. "Oh? You would protect me? I am flattered. Then please do. Such a big and strong man. Please go easy on me."
Combined with her smiles, the simps from the contenders and the audience began looking forward to the beauty's performance. Ryuuka on the other hand also seemed to have fun.
"Hah? Are you talking to me you shit-faced fucker? You think you are good enough to be my lover?" the young dragonkin seemed to act like a delinquent and not only cursed but swung her weapon without regard.
Of course, she only used the flat side but there were several people on the ground smashed like nails.
Lastly, the San-Baka all maintained their mysteriousness and took a vow of silence. All three wore full face masks in white. Many tried to guess their backgrounds, they were after all dressed in expensive battle suits.
Hiro then sent a message to everyone.
[Hiro]: Everyone, you know why we are here and what we intend to do. There are 50 battle harems that will fight in the capital. Partisan, is the only one with Dylan's allies.
[Hiro]: I will be sending their ledger ratings once they all head to the arenas. We all trained in the Apocalypse zones. Treat this as a check of your strength.
[Hiro]: I want the battles to be flawless. Understood? No one is to get injured. The impact of not even breaking a sweat is a must. Be as barbaric as you want our goal lies beyond this. I will make it interesting. Everyone who gets a flawless victory would get a reward from me.
[Raylene]: Darling can I ask for…
[Vanessa]: Lene! There are kids here!
[Jade]: Pervert.
[Hiro]: I will do that to you three if you win.
[Raylene]: Promise?
[Hiro]: Yes.
[Ryuuka]: Daddy, Tsugumi-Nee-chan says she wants Sword Dynasty to permanently become Heavenly Sword's vanguard.
[Hiro]: Tell her someone already owns the position, if she wins I will make her battle harem our interception squad instead.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm [Ryuuka]: She says no takebacks. Oh and that you are a tyrant for muting her.
[Hiro]: What about you Ryu? Do you want anything?
[Ryuuka]: Nothing Daddy. I currently have everything I could possibly want.
[Hiro]: Okay. San-Baka, your rewards I will consult with Tsugu.
[Hiro]: Alright, let loose everyone. Take this moment to see how far you already come. After today no one will be able to ignore us. Let them all know the might of Heavenly Sword.
