Rumble!
Deafening roar echoed everywhere.
Visible ripples swept outward.
Surrounding kingdom generals paled; all toppled, flung airborne.
Blade blocked vines; recoiled dozens meters.
Kaiser watched calmly.
Pre-arrival confirmed—no peerage-worthy in camp.
Unsure why no contract reaction from her.
Irrelevant.
No interest in twisted yuri pervert.
"Impressive magic."
Blade gripped divine sword, wary at Star Spirit.
Furious. "You—evil sorcery controlling Princess Freya."
"Blade—stop monologuing."
Freya frowned. "Following Master—my will."
"No, Princess—say no more."
Blade snarled. "Kill them all—free you."
Freya: "…"
Gripped staff tighter—magic to end pervert.
"Fine—leave her to Setsuna and Anna."
Kaiser held hand, smiling. "They need strong foe experience."
"Yes, Master."
Freya unconditional obedience.
"Damn—filthy hands off Princess."
Roaring, Blade's divine sword blazed; afterimages as she charged Kaiser.
"Your opponents—us."
Anna and Setsuna eyes chilled.
Daring attack Master—unforgivable.
Next!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Trio collided.
Thunderous clashes linked; visible gusts.
Setsuna and Anna coordinated; attacks lightning-fast, evading sword edge.
Blade's divine sword useless—forced constant retreat.
Strength-wise far superior, but technique worlds apart.
After all.
Sword Hero.
Swordsmanship below third-rate.
"Damn—stop dodging."
Blade enraged; sword blazed for wide slash.
But!
Instant rigidity—flaw Anna's Insight Eye caught.
Splurt!
Blood sprayed.
Blade wailed; back deep bone-visible gash.
Released slash veered—merely cratering ground.
"You two…"
Blade felt pain; face twisted.
But eyes incredulous.
Sword Hero—wounded by far weaker women.
Other enemies too.
"Good—very good. Dare injure me."
Facing calm Setsuna and Anna, Blade's expression warped.
"Lowly women—pay."
Words fell; divine sword erupted blinding light.
Body surged taller; muscles bulged rock-like.
Terrifying presence became hurricanes sweeping outward.
"Didn't want Princess seeing this form."
Blade angry and ashamed.
"Didn't want Princess seeing ugly me."
"But to save Princess…"
Interrupted by Freya.
"When will you stop self-narrating?"
"Your anything—irrelevant to me."
Freya sighed; requested. "Master—may I now?"
"Her form beyond Setsuna and Anna."
"Fine—yours."
Kaiser shrugged; glanced Anna and Setsuna.
They understood; flashed behind him.
Hum!
Instant; brilliant light soared from Freya's staff.
Seeing, Blade stiffened; cold sweat soaked back.
"Seventh-tier magic: Inferno."
"Princess—wait…"
Next, miniature sun enlarged infinitely before him.
Boom!
Scorching gusts diffused.
Terrifying flames became ocean engulfing Blade fully.
"Aaah…"
Wails echoed briefly—silenced seconds later.
Simultaneously…
Masterless divine sword Ragnarok reverted—brilliant gem.
Hero weapon rule.
Owner death—original jewel form.
Awaits next hero; changes per heart.
"Weapon interesting."
Kaiser beckoned; ground gem to hand.
But…
No change.
Ordinary dull gem.
"Non-heroes unusable?"
Kaiser lips cold curve.
Next.
Vast soul power erupted; flooded jewel.
Compared Boosted Gear.
[Ragnarok] far weaker.
Instant—forced submission.
Fully subdued [Ragnarok]; other hand flashed [Dimensional Lost Shangri-La].
Teigu rarely used.
Enemies unworthy teleport.
Hum!
Will-driven.
[Dimensional Lost] and [Ragnarok] glowed.
Under Freya's group gaze; fused into exquisite ring.
Instantly, ring abilities surfaced mind.
Overall.
Per wish—Dimensional Lost enhanced.
No pre-set coordinates needed.
Gaze or perception range—spatial abilities usable.
"Good—far more flexible."
Kaiser wore ring; smiled.
"How this?"
Words fell.
Dimensional Lost glowed.
Instant.
All surviving soldiers overhead—lights emerged.
[Dimensional Lost] originally teleported others.
Now.
Sense-set coordinates; Kaiser tested partial teleport.
Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!
Soldier heads vanished instantly; blood pillars gushed.
"Good—effective misc clear."
Kaiser satisfied with creation.
