Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Chapter 75 The Last Servant Of Eternity 5

?'What? What do you mean I came here before? Dammit, my mind is being hammered nonstop today! What the hell do you mean? Oy Patches! Answer me!'

Patches ignored him and then faced forward his gigantic body tensing from excitement. He galloped at half speed towards Starfall, The manticore then ordered Hiro in a voice that commanded in full authority.

"Put on the glove and say the words 'I am the heavenly sword'. Consider it your last gift to me."

The monster's majesty could be likened to kings. Unable to resist his command, Hiro complied in reflex. He quickly wore the glove that seemed like it was made from cotton on his right hand.

The glove didn't fit right and was quite loose. It looks just like any old hand warmer. Yet due to the importance Patches placed on it, this thing was sure to be something special at least.

"I am the heavenly sword."

Unlike normal, the alerts that came next weren't only in Hiro's thoughts but they were also coming from the glove. It seemed like the system and the glove had the same maker.

- Alert: [Eternity Armament] equipped. User Authenticating. -

- Alert: All three qualifications met. [Eternity Armament] recognizes Hiroyuki Mitsurugi as its master, soul-binding commencing -

Hiro got caught off guard when the glove suddenly tightened to fit his hand snuggly. The gems then increased in size, if earlier they were like small marbles now they looked like small swords each having a unique shape.

The ruby looked like a square ice cream Popsicle, the emerald looked like an uneven rectangle, and lastly, the sapphire looked like the lips on a smiley. Hiro grew disappointed with how stupid all three looked.

The man got stumped for the Nth time today. What the hell was this glove saying? None of it made sense. Before the transmigrator could ask the manticore what it all meant Patches roared in an emotional voice.

"GLORY BE TO THE SAVIORS! FINALLY! The one they saw all those years ago… Masters! The Heavenly Sword has finally arrived once more! The bloodline of steel remains alive despite the injustice of this world! I HAVE NOT FAILED YOU! I AM A FAITHFUL SERVANT!!"

The lion's head then roared in Jubilation as the echoes of its cry assaulted the ears of everyone present. "IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE! I HAVE NO REGRETS! MY PURPOSE HAS BEEN FULFILLED!"

Due to the distance, Hiro needed [Farsight] to see Patches, he could hear the voices due to the monster bellowing but everything else sounded bad due to the distance. The loss of his AGI affected the range of senses significantly.

When Hiro and Patches retreated from combat [Strength Derived from Pride] deactivated, consequently Hiro right now only had his base stats. Hiro noticed something about the skill, the more stringent the reality the better stats it gave.

For example, arming yourself with a sword couldn't be easier for Hiro, thus it only gave him 40 bonus points to all stats. That alone by itself wasn't bad. But it couldn't grant [Over the Limit].

So far from all the realities he experimented on Hiro never successfully triggered [Over the Limit] beyond the first two times. The first was when he vowed he would never lose to Artorius. The second time came when he challenged an angry mob to fight for his harem's honor.

In both cases, the criteria for the reality needed to be extremely specific. One restricted itself to a single combat situation. The other could be invoked only when all his wives were present and a hostile group vastly outnumbered them.

Yet Patches shared how to make the realities specific but usable in a large number of scenarios. The suggestions came with insight into how his skills fundamentally behaved.

By tying the realities to his skills, he could turn them into game-changers. Both suggestions would apply to his difficult situation and allow Hiro to maximize his gains. The more he studied the monster's suggestions the more he noticed how apt they were for his current predicament.

With his high INT, Hiro could not come up with a way for this to be possible. Not unless someone who mastered the skill from using it over long periods told Patches. This gave credibility to Manticore's statement.

'But how is that possible? I only got here a month ago. How does he know anything that happened in another reality? I mean in anime and manga one's memories are restricted to only their original universe. It is impossible to know what happened in another without someone telling you.'

When Hiro looked for the Manticore, Patches already arrived near the devoted. The lion roared at a volume that made the heavens quake. "AS MY OFFERING TO THE CYCLE OF REBIRTH I WILL HAVE ALL OF YOU ACCOMPANY ME! [PATCHES OF ETERNITY] MODE -SECOND WORLD! "

Patches' goat head opened its mouth and pointed it upward. Out came a crimson sky beam like from superhero movies and violently traveled towards the heavens.

It elucidated the desert, there was so much light that not even the smallest shadow could encroach. As the sun already set the sky beam drove away the night and reclaimed the day.

After reaching about 300 meters in the air the beam suddenly spread like waves as it smashed into an invisible wall. The light behaved like a liquid and followed an invisible mold in the shape of a sphere. The scope of the sphere encompassed an extremely large area around Patches.

The Devoted quickly noticed the power of the crimson cage. Frank then shouted franticly still sounding bored. "It's a [Mirage Sphere]! Disperse! NOW!"

The fifteen powerful warriors ran in different directions to escape the cage of blood. But Patches of course knew how easy it was for system users to run outside of the crimson sphere.

"You underestimate me too much human! Just how many servants of the false princess do you think I killed over the millennia? [ASTRAL GYVE]!"
