Chapter 288 A Necessary Evil 4
?
As her battle harem also loved her dearly Aurum, Geo, and Lars all were Enslaved Emperors. Funny how right now both Hiro and Tsugumi had the same number of lovers who they all cherished dearly.
Probably in the future, Hiro's other subs would grow stronger than her, but at this moment, she was the second strongest person in Heaven Sword.
Thus even at just 10% of her stats, the marionettes had over 600 points in all three types. Unsurprisingly they butchered the living hell out of Tsugumi's opponents due to also possessing [Sword Saint]. Despite being corpses they moved with the grace and fluidity of an expert swordsman.
It wouldn't take long to completely annihilate the competitors. Dylan's allies for the first round were all in the San-Baka and Ryuuka's arenas. This was why aside from them everyone else annihilated their groups. Not having anything to do Tsugumi started to daydream to pass the time. Imagining the view of her husbands covered in oil, Tsugumi started to smile while fantasizing about her battle harem.
Unfortunately, no amount of stats could fix her perversion. She then remembered Hiro's last sub who fought in another arena. "I wonder how my niece is doing, she told me she wanted to try imitating a gangster for some reason. Fufu, I should ask Alan to show me clips later."

"Stay behind me, you fucking weaklings. If you don't want to die get the hell out of my way!"
A trio of two women and a man trembled while Ryuuka walked past them. Spoiled rotten by her family Ryuuka didn't want to debut to the world as a cute girl like her loved ones often described her as.
'I am a dragon! My cheeks already hurt from being pinched. Sword-mommy is the worse, It feels like my cheeks would tear off. But I can't say bow-mommy is any better she makes me eat grass! Then again Staff-mommy is the strictest she spanks me with a stick!'
Unlike in her previous lives, the heir of Dragonblood had not just a family but a powerful one at that. Being affiliated with dragons normally brought both blessings and hardships to any clan. The power of a dragon was coveted by everyone after all.
Ryuuka who normally dreamt of her former lives noticed something. She normally lived alone. In some lives, she tried to integrate herself with a community but something would happen and her nature would get exposed. Like a monster, the people would then ostracize her and blame all their hardship on her.
She would awaken as a child who had a grave disease or was in a coma. Afterwards, people would notice her strength as she got older. Her family would then either revere her like a deity, use her like a weapon or avoid her like a plague.
Protecting them didn't matter. Saving them didn't matter. What did matter was the fact that she was not human. This simple thought controlled her destiny like a bad joke. Thus all her past lifetimes she often found herself comforting herself with history. Often she would try to figure out where her past lives came from.
More often than not she would see their marks in history. This gave her not only pride but a sense of purpose. In this life however, the opposite was true. While her awakening started out the same, immediately not even a year after she opened her eyes someone protected her.
He was tall, had white hair, and red eyes. Afterwards he adopted Ryuuka as his daughter and gave her a name. The man then adored her, and through him, she suddenly had so many people in her family.
Three mothers, who spoiled her but didn't spare the rod. a loony Aunt complete with three uncles, all of which sneaked her snacks.
Ryuuka also had a merchant and courtesan pair who always brought her sweets. In this life, the dragonkin felt not just acceptance but also love. Despite being a child however, she was not stupid. While she drowned in the affection of her family, she knew what is to come.
Through her memories as the Heir of Dragonblood, she matured rapidly. Unlike normal children she often chose to act her age but if the dragonkin wanted she could tap her INT to understand her situation and surroundings better.
'Something went wrong. I feel like I forgot something important. My mission is not to protect the heavenly sword. That was for patches. But I cannot remember.'
This nagging thought plagued her, yet she could not ask anyone else. Thinking it would be useless to waste time on such stupid things Ryuuka decided to just simply follow her family for now. Right now Heavenly Sword's priority was to get stronger.
Knowing how powerful her incarnations were in the past, Ryuuka diligently trained. Nonetheless, In this battle, her mission was not just to win. She was told to save some people while brutalizing others. To act the part she took notes for her beloved father.
Which brought her to the situation now. "HAAAA? You want me to give you MERCY? Who the fuck are you supposed to be? Why should I? You know what? Nevermind. Just DIE!"
As the young dragonkin tore the upper half of a man's face with her fingers she then use the top part of a skull to slap another person beside her. The slap had enough pressure that the man's jaw broke and the skull tore through the cheek and went into the man's mouth.
Ryuuka held her naginata behind her and used only one arm and her legs to beat and tear the people to shreds. Unsure when the combatants already noticed her vertically slit eyes.
Normally her staff mommy had a spell in place to hide Ryuuka's reptilian eyes. Unfortunately, when she gets excited the spell evaporates.
'It's the same look. The look of fear. Discrimination and prejudice, all because I am not human.'
Barely anyone in her arena could fight her. Now that they saw her eyes even less tried to. Luckily as she experienced affection how other people reacted to her mattered little. Unlike before she had a family to protect. And right now she did that by being as threatening as possible.
For maximum effect, Ryuuka tried to imitate atrocities she saw in her dreams. One of which was kicking around the severed heads of generals as soccer balls. She took it a step further though, the dragonkin covered the heads in Aura and kicked them like cannon balls.
The heads ripped through the other people and killed them on the spot. Impacted by such a weapon body after body exploded like bags of wheat. Bloody chunks flew as the human corpses disintegrated from the impacts.
Unsatisfied Ryuuka then leaped into the air and stomped on them from a high elevation. The pressure broke the bones of her target and forced their bulk into the ground.
Naturally either the ground gave way or the corpse would get turned into mush. Blood and meat would splatter outwards as the people get smashed to the ground like nails.
There were already fifteen 'human nails' that littered the battleground. Due to her overwhelming power, there were about twenty people behind her following like chickens. They were from the battle harems Alan told them to save. Due to such an action being helpful to her daddy Ryuuka complied.
Even though she didn't use the weapon she carried throughout the match., whether alone or in groups Ryuuka dominated her opponents. Just her left fist and a few kicks had the entire audience cheering for her. The young tyrannical dragonkin looked backwards as she roared.
"Remember to thank the crown prince you fuckers, the only reason you are alive is because my daddy told me to save your sorry asses. Otherwise, I would have crushed the arena the moment I arrived. "
"Esteemed one, may we know your name and who your father is?"
"Wow, look how good you are at kissing ass! I am Ryuuka Musashi, the only daughter of the Wolfen Butcher Hiroto Musashi the strongest man in the Valorious Continent!"
