Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Chapter 164 Fun-Camp Part Two 5

?Although the caravan did not answer to Hiro, his commanding presence and overbearing persona caused everyone to listen to him unconscionably. Hach's men were divided into three rotations per carriage that would take turns to drive for the next twenty-four hours.

Alan stayed in the carriage Hiro stood at, together with him was the sleeping dragonkin who Hiro had yet to wake from the coma he placed her in. The current situation is expected to turn chaotic thus it could be considered sound judgment to spare her from the panic she would have otherwise felt.

The San-Baka who wore new battle suits and wielded improved bone swords felt their blood rising in anticipation of what is to come. While most would be scared and have their minds plagued with their survival and thoughts about how much it would hurt; they had thoughts that revolved only around how to kill their enemies effectively.

Being able to triumph against their past freed Aurum, Geo, and Lars from the shadow that bound them. With that shadow died all their hesitation and dreams that involved staying human. Since then they only wished to reach the summit. To become beings strong enough to stand with their master.

Similarly, Tsugumi aimed for the same thing, the Aura rampaging in her body made her blood boil. It felt liberating and refreshing to the sword saint. For years she could not even think of letting lose because she grew scared of the atrocities she committed.

Her beloved brother allowed her to breathe. And as she embraced her inner monster the power she felt made her extremely on edge. If before she wanted to avoid a blood bath, now she welcomed it.

All four started to run with the caravan as the horses pulled the carriages. The Srayver expedition had a total of five horse-drawn vehicles. Hiro stood on the third with Alan, Aurum ran in front of the first.

Tsugumi followed the last. Geo and Lars ran by the caravan's sides ready to protect from the left and right respectively. The orange sky, the beacon on Hiro's hand, and the pink smoke that went out caused everyone to be on edge.

As the carriage wheels rolled around the rough ground, they could feel tremors from hundreds if not thousands of monsters. The four escorts then received the same alert.

- Alert: Party Leader Hiroto Musashi has shared a user-generated mission [Fun Camp 02] accept? -

Knowing the butcher must have had some kind of purpose they accepted the mission without much thought.

- Alert: New Mission [Fun Camp 02] accepted -

- Alert: [Fun Camp 02]: Difficulty: S Rewards: N/A Progress: 0% -

- Eliminate as much of the incoming horde as possible, while traveling to Partisan. Time to reach Partisan: 23 hrs 58 minutes | Monsters to be Eliminated 12,401 -

The moment they saw the last part, they gulped in nervousness. Twelve thousand monsters. They couldn't even comprehend what that would look like. Hiro then marked all the incoming monsters with [Marks of Annihilation].

Next Hiro shared the buffs they would be using as power flowed to each of them. They grew impatient while they ran. This marathon lasted a day, and the size of the horde could be considered extremely large, even groups of two thousand elements had the power to flatten a town.

Above ten thousand that could already take down an entire city. They did not have walls or an army. They only had five people. The insanity of it all started to weigh on their mind. However, before their nerves got the better of them Hiro's words echoed in their ears.

(Okay, our next destination is where my wives are, I do not know what we will find there, but I will get them back no matter the cost. As you four wish to remain by my side I need you all to get stronger to keep up otherwise you will die.)

(This time I won't be able to help you but you will face more monsters than you can deal with. I need you to push harder than ever before Victory is the only acceptable outcome.)

Right, they were doing this not for mere kicks, but for strength. In order to be able to continue following the Wolfen butcher. In order to be able to have the strength to fight against what was coming.

Thus, with their hearts ablaze with passion they waited. Like arrows strung on a bow they grew tense and giddy from battle hunger. On their maps, numerous markers approached at high speeds from all directions. Yet, aside from the tremors that did not stop, an orange sky, and the blinding light coming from Hiro's weapon, nothing else existed.

Suddenly a loud voice came from the beacon on the third carriage his voice mired with Insanity and excitement. "ALRIGHT, HERE IT COMES! ARE YOU READY KIDS?! LET'S ROCK!" The surroundings suddenly felt like time stopped. Multiple caliber signatures of different sizes made their presence known.

It felt like the calm before the storm. The sound of the caravan making its way through the plane suddenly got drowned out by violent eruptions from the ground.

*CRASH!*

Multiple figures burst from the ground surrounding the caravan. There were gigantic spiders the size of buildings, scorpions, snakes, lizards, and monsters that looked like d*glet from p*kem*n.

The mercenaries on the carriages turned white in fear, and some of them started to turn insane.

"Bro that is a Goliath Dragoneater Spider right?" "Yyeeesss." "We are going to die aren't we?" "Most likely."

"Dude are those what I think they are." "If you mean Jormungandrs then yes." "There are twenty of them." "Yes, we have twenty 30-meter snakes in front of us."

"Cool, I thought I was seeing shit." "…"

"I never thought a point would come where seeing a Five tailed terror scorpion would not be the scariest thing I saw." "What the 10-meter Hercules Ant lions not enough for you?" "I think the fact that there are hundreds of them scares me more."

"So we have ten Desert dragons, a hundred Hercules Ant lions, and it that is not enough a Goliath dragoneater. Good thing we have insurance." "I somehow admire your optimism."

"What the fuck is that ugly thing?" "I think it's called a mole harvester." "What does it harvest in flatlands like this?" "I heard it harvests people from cities by collapsing the ground." "Ooh…"

Each carriage started to process the terror they felt, the monsters were always away but they all surrounded the caravan from all sides, snakes and giant spiders at the front. Scorpions and ants on both sides, giant lizards and spiders at the back.

The number and rarity of the monsters could be considered elite. Such a force would give even Starfall the sixth strongest battle harem pause. At this moment numerous mystics and seers felt the tide of monsters head toward one point.

Numerous groups tried to check where the monster invasion was headed. Summons for battle harems went out through every kingdom as a precaution. The effect of Hiro's every move turned the continent upside down. Yet Hiro cared not about such things. And roared with a jovial tone.

"REMEMBER THIS FEELING! THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO FOLLOW ME! IF STRENGTH HAS FOREVER ELUDED YOU THEN I WILL CHOKE THE BASTARD AND SMASH HIM YOUR WAY!

"THESE FUCKERS ARE NOT HUNTERS BUT PREY! WE ARE THE MONSTERS! WE ARE THE PREDATORS! THEY WILL REGRET THE DAY THEY CAME FOR US! BUTCHER! THEM! ALL!"

A battle of mythical proportions began. Thousands of monsters headed toward a beacon with the intent to devour, yet it remained unseen if they would be able to do so.
