CHAPTER 387: 387 THE REAL BATTLE

[OP: ]

The creatures that they were looking at were clearly the divine messengers that were only mentioned myths.

The divine creatures that directly reported to the higher binges in the heaven, the beings that could travel through the world and the the beings that spread the faith of the being that they served.

They were depicted almost close to the creature that they were seeing and the strong presence that was faintly perceived by their crown prince was obviously no simple thing.

They were the real deal... they were nothing like his father or the two who he now followed.

This was much more dangerous than that. They were practically the real gods that had descended upon this world, creatures that should not have existed in this plain.

Creatures that one could not fathom, creatures that were so threatening that just the eyes that looked back at them were so threatening that his own soul had left his body for a moment when those... life devouring eyes looked back at him.

"He will be alright... right?"

He had safely managed to reach the floating fortress thanks to the barrier of mister Friday and lady Eva protected him from the airel forces that came to interfere with them.

"You do not have anything to worry about. He is strong... belive in him."

Eva was doing the same so the only thing she could do was to advice him to do the same. Worrying about them was all that they could do as someone who was not with them on that battlefield.

She was assigned more important duties and she had to fulfil them before she could go and help him out on that battlefield.

After looking at the threatening creatures that he had warned them about, she now understood why even the two of them were so concerned about it.

She now knew that the threats that they will be facing from now on would be something they had never even imagined about.

"He will be fine..."

He had faith, however, against creatures as big as mountains, creatures that did not possess a shadow of their own, creatures that only possessed a temporary physical body and were divine beings so dangerous that even her sword and her familiar, Ash, couldn’t help but warn her of their existence.

She was not looking at them anymore but, even right now, she could feel multiple eyes looking at her entire being... it was the same sensation she felt the first time she entered that slime dungeon with the two of them. The sensation of divine eyes overwhelmed her being.

"Rest assured."

She had something to do on this fortress, she had something to do on this sky that did not have her little El’s attention.

So, she couldn’t waste any more time on useless things.

"Please, excuse us."

Friday was going to go down and fight alongside the Spades order while the other clubs members will fight the creatures that will soon appear from the great rift that had been opened by the three creatures who had arrived on this world.

The two of them important things to take care of and, since the crown prince was nowhere near strong enough to face even the normal men left on the battlefield, the only thing he could do was to command the troops left on the fortress alongside the other commanders who were assigned to the various locations on four cardinal directions.

He was in charge of the north, the Controller of the Clubs was in charge of the south, the Ace of the Clubs, their captain was in charge of the west, while the east was going to be handled by the joker of Spades alone... by the otherworldly divine child that the two of them had saved from the dimensional dungeon a few months ago.

She had become a close companion of the two of them and even her parents and younger brother was able to obtain relatively better lives thanks to the two of them... and for all that, she was going to pay them today, tomorrow, and for as long as they wanted her to.

She was strong, so much so that she will not need someone else to assist her, especially with aerial combat.

She was the ruler of the skies, she was the master of winds and clouds.

Even on the ground, As Lucy looked in the direction of the creatures, he knew he would not have to worry about the ones on the fortress.

They were strong people. They knew what they had to do, and she was there to see if they were doing what they were supposed to do.

There was nothing else for him to worry about, except...

[Ding.]

[ Worldline is detecting a strong stimulation in the area #321CF! A larger amount of Plausibility is being gathered in a single place! ]

[ Calculating... ]

[ ...! ]

[Ding!]

[ Presence of a new Epic’s formation has been detected...! ]

He was familiar with the sudden appearance of the golden status windows. He knew what these words meant and, though it was early, he was ready for it.

He knew what he had to do now... so, he gathered a large volume of energy on his feet, and vanished from his place... reappearing all the way in the back... in front of the three creatures that had arrived on the battlefield just now.

[{( Hmmm? )}]

He did it in the blink of an eye so not even the divine messengers had any time to react to his sudden appearance... and since they did not have any time to react at all, he took his chance and unleashed his true blade.

’{Natural Selection}, {Nature’s will}, {Natural assimilation}, {Crimson Sword}, {Horizontal slash}, {Quick stab}, {Silent cut}, {Light walk} (Level-2), {Shallow breathing}, {Elemental magic}, {Aura},...’

Activating all the support skills that he possessed in the blink of an eye, he even activated the skills of the unique sword he possessed, and he did not care about the Mana pool either.

’True Six Seasons Sword Dance, Summer’s Desolation.’

By the time his skills were activated, they had grasped his existence and their own passive defence abilities had been triggered to their maximum extent.

However...

’{Skill share}.’

With the special ability they received after reaching level-150 was going to be the game changer.

’{Dismantle}.’

-Ooooooooooooooooooooooooong!

They were divine messengers so most powers they possessed came from skills rather than techniques or magic.

They were creatures born with a unique consciousness and divinity, and even though they were mercenary by occupation, they were still creatures of nature with restricted abilities in this foreign world.

Thus...

’Hour of midday sun- Sword of eternal zenith!’

Most of his Aura gathered in one spot, he swung his sword a hundred and twenty times in the blink of their countless eyes, creating a concentrated barrage of deadly attacks— all aimed at a single one of the three creatures.

-ZHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[{( AGHHHHHHHH! )}]

Friday had to pull him back with his own skills but, Lucy achieved what he wanted with that one struck that contained almost all of his powers.

-OOOOOOOOOOOONG...!

[Ding!]

[ Worldline has detected signs of strong abnormalities...! ]

[ The possibility of Epic has been confirmed and a strong initial line has been detected...! ]

[ Worldline will interfere with voice of the world of Worldline area #321CF directly! The new epic, being written by the white sword of a [Fearless genius sword general] will now initiate! ]

For an epic to form, there were two things that one needed to achieve at all cost— the first of which was obviously the qualifications to write an epic, which he passed as someone baring the multimedia streaming skill, and as the possessor of a unique title.

And the second condition was the presence of a strong ’incident’ that either the voice of the world or the Worldline itself could not ignore.

In the case with their first epic, they had entered the gates of the artificial ancient dungeon that no one had ever been able to achieve in this world, fulfilling the second condition through the voice of the world.

And this time, he managed to critically injure a divine messenger under the perfect conditions, triggering the second condition through not the voice of the world, but the Worldline interface itself.

[ Someone is writing the second page of their storyline’s Epic! ]

The conditions that he had been looking for were met successfully. Now, all that remained was to obtain the most contribution in the ongoing epic to achive it as a solo epic for himself.

[ *The general of the undead army standing against the absolute Emperor of west not only cleared almost ninety percent of the emperor’s army with a single command, when the Emperor’s reinforcements— the three messenger of the heavenly authorities arrived in the mortal world, he also critically wounded the eldest of the three divine messengers, initiating the war with not mortal blood, but with divine Ichor.* ]

The wound that the eldest and the largest mountainous being received spilled a fountain of golden blood that rushed down Their body like a river flowing down a mountain origin.

His attack was sudden, the kind of strength he just wasted on that one attack was something only elixirs will be able to recover in short time.

It was a strong attack made with one of the strongest techniques that he could use and his execution was perfect, that much he knew already.

What he wanted from the start was this ’start’, and the early appearance of these creatures just made his work easier.

"Master..."

"Go. I’ll handle myself."

The three creatures were enraged.

The eldest that was just attacked wasn’t going to recover from that difficult wound anytime soon, so the initial threat was halved for a brief moment.

This was just the beginning of the real battle...

[ "It’s here..." ]

The rest of the reinforcements, creatures bearing the fragmented power of the divinities resembling white one eyed balls with feathered wings, swarmed out of the golden crack of the space-time.

They were going to be the dangers the commanders on the fortress will have to deal with, but, what the ground forces will have to deal with had also just appeared from a unique black crack that formed right on the ground beneath them.

{ "All forces." }

The emperor did not belong to any certain force like the two of them so, when he amassed reinforcements, he did not just gather heavenly powers.

He went beyond common orders and recruited other forces with his unmeasured money as well.

{ "Alpha A-3. Prepare to engage." }

And these forces, as they had predicted, were the opponents that they will have to face before anyone else.

[ *The real battle had just begun...* ]

They finally prepared for the fight that they had waited for so, so long.
