Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Chapter 97 [Vol 1 Epilogue]: So Long As They Need Me 6

?Rhyne continued to praise herself using Rilu's body, Hiro used his remaining eye to look around to see if the shadows were still around, and Rhyne, who noticed stomped on his cheeks once more.

"If you are looking for the shadows there are gone. They disappear when they claim a Herald. I never saw a process before as my Master forbids me. What did they even take from you?"

- Alert: System has found previous Wife Targets, [So long as you need me] vacancies can be refilled with the same Wife Targets. Proceed? -

'!!!!! They are back! THANK GOD! THANK YOU SO MUCH! They are alive! They are okay! I'm so glad… I'm so glad…'

Even while being stepped on Hiro ignored Rhyne completely and teared up at the thought that the women he loved the most came back. The emotions springing up from his heart were so vast is drowned out everything else. Just knowing they were okay made everything bearable.

Rhyne who noticed continued slamming her foot into Hiro's beat-up face, like a cat begging for attention.

"Hey! Are you listening? Don't ignore me you piece of shit!!"

'Thought sharing? I can hear them. Can I talk to them too? Nevermind! Yes! Do it now!'

-Alert: Thought Sharing commencing, Host will now hear the thoughts of wife targets for 5 minutes. -

[Raylene]: Darling, I am so sorry… I am so sorry…. It was the only way.

[Vanessa]: Ah, I want to die. What is there remaining in the world now? Hiro-sama I miss you…

[Jade]: Husband...I'm scared…

Just from the sound of their thoughts, Hiro felt the sadness drowning his Harem, fear, confusion, regret longing. Hiro felt his insides crushed when he heard their pitiful thoughts. Thinking about what he could do the one to stop his thoughts was Rhyne.

"Oh? They are back! No wonder you ignore me, the system told you they were back didn't it? This is great! Now you get to see the best part. I love this bit even when I tried to do it before.."

"What are you talking about? Don't touch them, Rhyne! You can fuck me up all you want but do not lay a hand on them!"

Rhyne, then smiled vulgarly as she smiled. "Don't worry I won't touch them… that's the best part."

[Raylene & Vanessa & Jade]: Follow him in death?

The moment Hiro heard that thought, his blood turned cold. Why would all of them think of the same thing at once? Like someone opened up the thought to them.

[Raylene]: Indeed, maybe darling and I can reunite in the afterlife What do I live for anyway?

[Vanessa]: That sounds like a lovely Idea. If I can see Hiro-sama again no matter how small that chance, I will take it.

[Jade]: Husband… Will you be angry if I become weak and go to where you are?

"NO! NO! NO! OF COURSE, I WILL BE ANGRY! YOU CANNOT KILL YOURSELVES!! THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOU CAN LIVE AGAIN!"

Rhyne who saw the man squirming on the ground, licked her lips in delight. Hiro who lost all will to struggle before now called forth unimaginable tenacity. Despite having only one beat-up arm, no legs, and weakness from blood loss the Transmigrator had a fire in his left eye.

The Indomitable will reminded Rhyne of his first day here. When he fainted while standing up. She then straddled him and forcefully took his lips. Hiro who tried to punch her was overpowered and had his lips devoured by the woman.

After a few seconds of Rhyne forcing herself on Hiro. She backed off to enjoy his response. Hiro on the other hand spit and glared at her in hatred and disgust. But then the woman's countenance suddenly changed from haughtiness to desperation.

"HIRO-SAMA! DO NOT WORRY! I ASKED SOMEONE I TRUST TO SAVE THEM! THEY ARE SAFE!"

[Raylene]: Who? Who are these people? Unhand me! Only Darling may touch me!

[Vanessa]: Shit! They are skilled! AH! They seem elite and powerful! Fuck! They even knew about my bombs!

[Jade]: Powerful… High Calibers, expensive gear… Nobility? But who? Allies?…No…Not allies….

Confused and unsure of what was happening, Hiro caught the change in the voice of the woman in front of him.

"Rilu? Are you okay? Where is Rhyne? My wives! Who took them!"

Rilu who seemed to be fighting her own body for control shouted in haste.

"I KNEW RHYNE-SAMA PLACED ME UNDER A DOMINATION ORDER, GIDEON BROKE THE MIND LOCK SO I TOOK STEPS TO ENSURE YOUR HAREM'S SAFETY! THERE IS NO TIME! YOU MUST GO T…."

At that moment, Rilu's face again changed back to arrogance, almost as if it indicated who the driver of the body was.

"I say, struggling with such an insect over such trivialities is beyond infuriating. This is why I had her killed you know. A Venator is too powerful a piece, originally I tried to get the Venator on my side. But he seemed to have the inclination to kill me at every opportunity. So I instead used them to get rid of you, the servant of eternity, and free up my domination links. I even…"

The face then changed again, with blood coming out of the woman's eyes, nose, and ears.

"Hiro-sama I am sorry for showing such a lousy display. But I cannot hold on any longer. Rhyne-sama is just too powerful. My only solace is my torment at her hands ends today."

While blood making trails from her eyes, Rilu cried both in joy and sorrow. her hands were in awkward positions which indicated the battle of wills occurring inside her.

"It was hell Hiro-sama, to serve the one who destroyed your life and love her as you did so. Yet meeting you made it all worth it."

Hiro who was about to speak got his mouth kissed by Rilu. Unlike the one with Rhyne, this was gentle and full of affection. It lasted only for a second. But the woman smiled in happiness afterwards.

"Hiro-sama, I have been under orders to observe you since you first arrived. Watching you confront all the hardship made me feel like I saw the Saviors in the war. Seeing your will strengthened my own. I end this wretched life in celebration as I spend my last moments with you. Let us meet again Hiro, maybe next time I get to monopolize your affection instead?"

Rilu then made a knife hand and placed it into Hiro's forehead. "Everything is ready for you Hiro-sama. Innumerable realities burned and died all for this moment. The choice from thousands of years of preparation will rest in your hands. And I am sure you will not falter. After all, you are the unbreakable, the man who stole my heart and the Bloodline of Steel. Goodbye Hiro-sama. I love you."

Rhyne then managed to get her voice out at the last moment! "NO! STOP YOU BITCH! HE CANNOT DIE!" Rilu then covered her hand in Spirit and pierced Hiro's head like a sword. Rilu soon collapsed on top of him and died with a satisfied smile on her face.
