Chapter 93 [Vol 1 Epilogue]: So Long As They Need Me 2
?The Archer who appeared to have soiled himself in fright, got electrocuted by the golden energy. When the skill ended not a speck of dust remained of him. Frank then finally uttered his spell which he silently chanted out of Black Hiro's notice or so he thought.
"[FINGER OF DEATH]!" a black-colored ray of light left Frank's staff and flew toward a seemingly defenseless Hiro. The transmigrator covered in shadow simply slashed the magic apart with his white longsword. Like the lighting dragon, the blade absorbed the energy from the attack.
Black Hiro then threw his black longsword at Frank at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. The mage suddenly felt a breeze entering his stomach. Only to find, his torso now had a wide gaping hole in it. Black Hiro then spoke "Sword of Essence" while making an Iai stance similar to samurai in anime.
The two longswords vanished and reappeared in their sheath's on the transmigrator's back. A small katana or a wakizashi suddenly appeared in his hands and grew in length. The Transmigrator then drew and sheathed his weapon so fast that most would think he didn't even move. Yet the sounds of flesh tearing and the crisp click of black Hiro sheathing his katana said otherwise.
The last devoted of Starfall, the hunter with two crossbows suddenly got turned into confetti from over one hundred kilometers away. The hunter believed dying for stupid reasons would not help anyone. Thus he decided to take back the info about Hiro to Rhyne as his leverage in asking for her forgiveness.
The problem was he attempted to run from Hiro, who marked them all even before he became the herald. Just like that, in a span of just over twenty-four hours, the nineteen warriors who lorded over the masses all died pathetic deaths.
Rilu, couldn't help tremble in fear from Black Hiro's display. It only took him 45 seconds to annihilate nine of the strongest none spouse ranked subs in Valorious. The woman didn't forget to notice that both Hiros now wielded the exact number of swords.
Black Hiro teleported back in front of White Hiro as the latter asked the former in humor. "What? You still need more time? I already wrote an entire book in the time you took to kill nine [Adepts]. "
- WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: The [Herald of the Forsaken] has appeared on the continent. The Gates of the Overternia have been opened. Until the Herald is terminated or the Herald is reclaimed by the [Forsaken] the gates would remain open. The [Forsaken] Arrives in 180 seconds. Please prepare for battle. -
"They are talking about you, you chunni bastard." Rebuked White Hiro.
Black Hiro then let go of the katana in his hand. It suddenly morphed back into a smaller wakizashi and returned to his lower back. "Do I look like I give a shit? I don't know what this [Forsaken] business is, but if It can help me kill Rhyne I don't care anymore."
He then gripped air with his hand. The large greatsword then manifested as it returned to its owner. Black Hiro flicked the blood off his weapon in an overbearing display of speed. His simple movements created violent winds that dug up the ground. Unimpressed White Hiro then slammed his greatsword into the earth as he spoke in a small voice.
"Even if your girls are alive and will return?"
Gales of exorbitant power suddenly blew the area around the two men. Black Hiro immediately slashed his counterpart with his wide greatsword. White Hiro calmly parried his strike, and just from their sword strikes, the sand around them all rose up into the air like apocalyptic tornadoes.
The shadows on Black Hiro turned savage as they grew in both size and intensity. Words spoken through clenched teeth were uttered despite the deafening sandstorms generated by their strikes. "Tell me what you know, now."
White Hiro then quickly explained. "You are not fighting against Rhyne, she is merely a lackey a hostage even. No, the true enemy is the faction behind her. Their goal is to end the universe by releasing the [Forsaken], they are a complicated thing, just think of them as super zombies for now."
As if growing frustrated, Black Hiro intensified his assault by shifting stances, using skills and even changing swords. His rage and fury started to turn the attacks even more tyrannical. Rilu who stood behind an invisible wall made from [Malice], could only watch in frustration. The magnitude and scale of the battle in front of her already entered the realm of myth, thus hiding was the best she could do.
"I don't give a fuck about any of that! Tell me what happened to my wives!"
"Oh, but you should. if you are me, the thought of a mastermind behind the collapse of three savior-led empires should have encroached on your mind right? Well, your wives are all survivors from the said empires. Which means this faction is directly the reason why they led such pitiful lives."
The clashing of metal intensified and due to using the longswords and the wakizashi. Different elements started flying between the two swordsmen. Like an over-the-top game of tag, Black Hiro smashed all his weapons on White Hiro in an attempt to get him to spill the beans.
"WHERE ARE THEY? TELL ME NOW!"
After smoothly redirecting every attack, White Hiro lost his easygoing manner and spoke in full certainty. "I do not know, what I do know is that they will return. It happened to me and It will happen to you."
Black Hiro stopped his attacks and the desert suddenly became still like a calm ocean. "Do you really expect me to believe you are me from another timeline?"
White Hiro then showed his glove to Black Hiro. It was the same glove Black Hiro had, the so-called [Eternity Armament]. White Hiro then spoke in a sad voice. "I am the Hiro who saved Patches, his friend in another life. Stop whining like a little bitch and listen to me Hiroyuki. Get your head out of your ass and pay attention we do not have much time."
White Hiro then unsummoned his swords and started to explain. "This war has been going on forever, we got called in the middle of it. There is an evil hiding in this universe and everything from the battle harem system to the calibers are but desperate attempts to even the odds.
"Unlike your pitiful situation when I got summoned, I was OP in every sense of the word. In a month my total stat count already surpassed 10,000 points. In my arrogance I didn't prepare enough, I had allies but because of Rhyne, I kept everyone else aside from our girls at arm's length.
