"Let's go."
Kaiser waved casually and stepped forward.
Freya and the others followed closely.
"Damn—looking down on us?"
"Only six—fear not!"
Facing the approaching group, the prepared kingdom elites raged.
"Kill!"
Roars shook heavens; army charged.
"Anna, Setsuna—clear path."
"Yes, Master."
Anna and Setsuna answered; excitement flashed.
Seeing masses—long itching.
In eyes—mobile experience.
Without Master's order—endured.
Now permitted.
Test recent growth.
Swish! Swish!
Anna and Setsuna crossed rush; leaped.
Bright blade and ice claws bloomed lethal intent; fierce swings.
Crack! Crack!
Ground rent.
Multiple slashes toward kingdom forces.
Splurt! Splurt!
Countless elites bisected.
Foul blood pooled.
"Stronger."
Feeling surge, Anna and Setsuna thrilled.
But Kaiser frowned slightly.
Noticing, duo stiffened; cautious glance.
"Numerous foes—avoid high-consumption moves."
With him—no worry.
But not babysitter—early habit.
"Yes, Master."
Anna and Setsuna nodded obediently.
Realized.
Constant slashes—magic unsustainable.
Exchanged glance; leaped again—like lightning into kingdom ranks.
Blade and ice claws danced; bloody storm; blood pillars varying thickness.
"Norn—try skill."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing, Norn raised hand; invisible force gathered palm.
Hum!
Next instant.
Brilliant war aura unfolded covering field.
Frontline Anna and Setsuna—bodies lightened immensely.
Foes seemingly frailer.
As if—casual swing shredded.
State—slaughter unstoppable.
"War Aura amplifies weaker more."
Kaiser sensed near-nil boost; eyes gleamed.
Also user strength-related.
"Master—enemies increasing."
Norn eyed endless reinforcements; reminded.
"No matter."
Kaiser waved casually.
"Distant—Freya and Star Spirit."
Peerage solvable—no interference.
Or peerage pointless.
"Yes, Master."
Freya and Star Spirit forward; brilliant magic bloomed.
"Fifth-tier magic: Fire Pillar."
"Fifth-tier magic: Death Vines."
Words echoed.
Scorching flames soared.
Countless vines erupted ground.
Instant.
All kingdom powerhouses enveloped.
Ignoring, Kaiser advanced steadily.
Target always—contract-glowing Sword Saint.
Meanwhile.
Capital walls—soldiers lined.
Below gates.
Merchants, travelers—strict checks.
Every soldier utmost alert.
Soon.
Spotted six descending figures.
"That…"
Soldiers pupils shrank; expressions shifted.
That man.
Both princesses—really appeared?
"Targets sighted."
Recognized; shouted, retreating, closing gates.
Distant—Kaiser's group heard army mobilization.
Near—gates sealed; countless soldiers full draw.
"Halt."
Wall commander eyed Kaiser nervously.
But thought rear forces—gained confidence; bellowed. "Dare come."
"Advise—release princesses; surrender."
"Or…"
Boom!
Instant—body exploded.
Surroundings silent.
Nearby soldiers dazed; fear flashed.
Upper warrior commander—dead thus?
Unseen cause?
"Too much talk."
Kaiser retracted finger; casual wave toward gate.
Next.
Visible magic vortex from hand—engulfed gate.
Terrifying impact quaked entire wall.
Rumble!
Wall roared; finally—section exploded.
"Force bit much."
Kaiser frowned at wall.
In mind—capital his property; cherish.
"Q-Quick… arrows."
Someone; rain-like arrows fell.
But!
Facing, Kaiser snapped.
Dimensional Lost activated.
Hum!
Light flashed.
All arrows teleported back—instantly piercing owners.
