Fanfic Post 8 - Daily Training (Leveling Arc) (Mixed POV) Part 3

Sorry for the very late update. Internet was down, and also busy celebrating Lunar New Year. Enjoy

Chapter 16 SS 6 – Daily Training (Leveling Arc) (Mixed POV) Part 3


Hikaru, Sera, Sistina, Mia (Group 3) (Magician type)

Satou thinking back, in Blue Territory.
Hikaru, Sera, Mia, and Sistina exit from portal in Solitary Island Palace after having whale karaage, salad made from natural vegetables and some plant monsters of Selbira with Thousand Island sauce and mayonnaise, roasted Blasted Corn topped with wild honey, sunny side up egg of giant cockatrice made by Satou for all the girls before they start their daily training. With satisfied face, they enter Blue Territory for today’s training, hoping to raise their level and skill proficiency.
“This place is great. It has fresh air and beautiful landscape. Feels like we are on a vacation.” (Hikaru)
“The sun is hot. Let’s train hard and get our level up” (Sera)
“Nn. Shade” (Mia made a shade for everybody using Shadow magic)
“Thanks Mia. I will use the cooling drone too” (Sistina takes out her cooling drones that uses Ice Stone from her Storage for everyone)
Mia’s Shadow magic seems advanced enough to withstand strong sunlight. The girl’s training seems to be like a picnic stroll.
The monsters are hiding in the forest as usual. Hikaru extend her hand outwards and move it horizontally until the farthest she can reach at her back. The light and sound wave she generated allow her to <Scan> her surroundings for about a hundred metres. During when she arrive at this world as a hero of Saga Empire, she learns this technique from a mage. They always use this technique to check the surrounding during battles to look for enemy.
“Hostile enemy detected. Two on the front right, one from the front left, and one from the back left.” (Hikaru)
“I will deal with them. <Photon Laser>” (Sera)
They go and see the slaughtered enemies. They are just small creatures, similar to pterodactyl, but look malnourished. The cut is clean, but it didn’t hit the right spot.
“Looks like we might get some disgruntled words from Liza” (Sistina)
“Nn. Unhappy” (Mia)
“I wonder why such small creatures abandoned their nest so early and come out to hunt. They looked underfed. Is their habitat destroyed?” (Hikaru)

Out of a sudden, a black creature came flying in the sky in zigzag motion, then lands onto one of the trees. The creature then close its wings to reveal a pair of long antennae and is flicking it around, licking it, then points it at the girls direction, revealing its form as a large cockroach.
“I think we should kill that thing before it come for us” (Hikaru)
Hikaru invokes her Nature magic <Force Javelin> on the cockroach, and it just swat the attack away like it is nothing. Hikaru then invokes her next attack, <Multiple Force Javelin> onto the cockroach again. This time, the cockroach leaped up and swat several of the Force Javelins with its feelers and avoided the rest while flying in zigzag motion again, getting close to the girls and slam into the flexible shields and scale shields, stopping it and it clings to the shields. Hikaru appraise the cockroach while it is eating the shields.
“Hmm, from the training we have before this, I’ve never seen this creature actively going out before. This cockroach is level 60, seems overwhelmingly powerful”
There were cockroach outbreaks in Blue Territory before, but it was quickly quell down by Satou. Satou since then provided some pilotable Holy Shell Mobile Armour and a mobile base for research on the flora and fauna of Blue Territory that is still unknown, and to find new cure for some disease that can’t be cured with magic. But the main purpose is to find any dangerous elements in Blue Territory early.
Blue Territory is house to unknown amount of monsters and no kingdom managed to reclaim that land for long after Golden Wild Boar King Demon Lord used it to destroy Furu Empire.

More monsters came out of the jungle and dash towards the girls. Hikaru goes to the front and act as the vanguard. Multiple <Flexible Shields> appear in front of them for the mastery of Hikaru’s nature magic at level 10.
“<Dance> Claiomh Solais” (Hikaru)
Thirteen pieces of blue-light version of Claiomh Solais is floating in the air and starts going towards their target. Hikaru control the magic blades carefully while holding onto her holy sword. Hikaru sliced off the heads of the monsters with great precision and stow the meat into her Infinite Stowing (Inventory).
Mia utilizes her <Wind Cutter> and <Aqua Cutter> spells to cut down the monsters with precision, with Garuda and Leviathan summons guarding her. Mia utilize <Sky Walk> and <Aerial Boost> to fly and scout the area with Garuda. Sera create thin strands with <Light> magic that precisely lop off the head of approaching monsters. Multiple more of the thin strands invisible to the eyes surround the girls in a dome shape and follow them like mana shield. This method consumes much less mana to maintain and is harder to detect. Sistina’s sniper golems aim their rifles at the head of the monsters and kill them with a single hit using Adamantium shells. Her defensive golems and melee golems are stationed at the rear of the group to prevent surprise attacks. Multiple invisible flexible shields are deployed by the girls and Sistina’s golems.

The level 60 cockroach is still actively consuming the flexible shields and spitting out green goo that physically melts the flexible shields and whittle the hitpoints away quickly. The monsters that got sliced have quite grotesque form and are exceedingly aggressive. The girls stop storing the monsters and choose now to attack to kill them effectively. Ten of Hikaru’s Claiomh Solais’s magic blades are still hitting the cokcroach’s solid black shell body, but it doesn’t produce any effect. Hikaru properly instruct Claiomh Solais to aim for the feelers. Sera place a netting made of light <Laser> on the cockroach to cut it to pieces, but it just rest there and did nothing to the cockroach. Sistina’s Adamantium bullets shot by her sniper golems at the cockroach underside facing the girls are not very effective due to the shields’ dampening effect. The other monsters came rushing at the girls when the feelers of the cockroach swings fast at the  girls direction.

“Risu! What happened to you!?” (Hikaru)
Hikaru’s pet squirrel in Blue Territory come rushing in its mutated grotesque form and slams onto the flexible shield very hard. Its content was gurgled out and sticks onto the deployed flexible shields. The ones that get the stains immediately melt away. The monster squirrel then scratched the shield with all its strength and uses its elongated jaw to bite and chew away the shields. Hikaru cried when she see that the cute little creature that became her friend one day during her training at Blue Territory will be turned into such a pitiful state.
Hikaru ask the other girls to spare the squirrel for the time being.
The other monsters crash onto the flexible shields deployed and are taking them down very quickly.

Realizing this, Hikaru, Sera, and Sistina cast <Sky Drive> and get to the sky. Sistina’s golems got <Levitate> spell on them to float into the air. Mia’s Leviathan shoot its <Water Cannon> blast and <Large Tsunami> blast towards the goo-shooting monsters and created a large tidal wave of water in the forest, changing a portion of the landscape. Leviathan then floats on the centre of the water
Hikaru tried to collect Risu with a flexible shield enclosure, but end up getting some of the green goo on her hand when the magical case lose its underside to the green goo gurgled out by the squirrel. The green goo got into contact with the golden armour that Satou prepared as hero Nanashi. The surface starts to distort and the defensive mechanism of the golden armour kicks in. Sound of metal singed and a little white smoke similar to acid chemical reaction can be heard. The metal bits begin dropping off the surface slowly and the process stop after a while, chipping off a portion of the armour. The armour begins to counteract against the chemical reaction attack and recover its surface automatically. Sera cast <Heal> and <Purification> magic on them, but the remainder still continues to chip at her armour.

“Don’t come into contact with the green goo. It seems to be something more dangerous than we though. My <Appraisal> of it came out as <Unknown>, and its presence and my magic essence detection seems to pick up that this is a foreign substance and give off an ominous feeling.” (Hikaru)
“Let’s bring a sample back to lab and investigate it with the new equipment Satou made” (Sistina)
“My <Light> and <Holy> magic should be able to purge and repair any damage done by the green slime emitted by the strange monsters, yet they can’t do much against them. I can feel that my magic is less effective this time” (Sera)
“Can you reverse the condition on Risu? I can’t stand the thought of losing it. Mia, what do you think of this? Do the elves deal before with such situation?” (Hikaru)
“Mwu. First time. Emergency. Powerful spells”

All the girls cast their strongest <Heal>, <Purification>, <Magic Break>, and <Dispel> together with ritual magic on Risu with maximum concentration due to lower spell efficacy. Its condition gets better, and Hikaru give it some nuts for food and some water from her Infinite Stowing (Inventory). The squirrel takes several bites of the nuts and sips some water, but it immediately got into a fit and starts showing symptoms of an infection. The eyes bulge and the veins display colours of blue, red, and purple. Hikaru quickly remake another containment case with flexible shield and Risu starts to behave violently and started scratching and vomiting green goo that quickly erode the casing.

From the air, they can see that the landscape has changed due to the tidal wave attacks. A large portion of the forest ground is now submerged in water. However, the trees and rocks can be seen shaking a little. The girls thought that it was due to the tremor of the attack earlier, but it has larger cause to the situation that the girls didn’t realize.
The girls felt heavy and they require much more concentration and mana to maintain their <Sky Drive>. The girls fly to another location to reassess their situation.
“I will get the [Research Centre] made by Satou to our location so we can start analyzing the sample on Risu as quickly as possible.” (Hikaru)
Risu is trashing around as Hikaru’s Magic Hands are holding onto it. The Magic Hands are weak and flimsy, and Hikaru can only make fifty of them at most. She keeps repeatedly make new ones and get destroyed to hold onto Risu. The deployed flexible shields are weak and Risu’s spits make the girls work hard to recast the spell and drains their mana quickly. Leviathan swims towards them, but begin to mutate and fall into a fit similar to Risu earlier. Mia tried to unsummon her spirit summon to avoid it from suffering further, but the mutated Leviathan has already changed and can’t be unsummoned. Mutated Leviathan started trashing around and spits out watery goo. It tried not to harm its master, but it seems to be forced into attacking her, therefore it keeps trashing around to prevent itself from doing real physical harm to its master. Mia seems troubled by the suffering the spirits undergo.

Hikaru activated the transmission device to recall the main base that the girls can use to operate as their backup in case of emergency.
“The controller failed to recall our base of operation through space magic <Return>. Let’s proceed with manual operation and home into our position.” (Hikaru)
“Space Magic jammed” (Mia)
“It seems that the area is enveloped with some kind of foreign magic particles, space magic is affected and is not effective in this area. Even our position is concealed and not revealed in the location finder golem” (Sistina)
“We have to quickly bring this sample to analyse it. I will continually use <Purification Virus> and <Remove Disease> to slow down the infection on Risu.”  (Sera)
“It seems this device can only act as a beacon for the base to locate and move towards us. If it can’t locate us, it will probably use the shortest path to locate us. We will move nearer to its last transmitted location to get to it faster. Let’s wear the <Astro Suit> Satou provided us with” (Hikaru provide the girls and herself with the <Astro Suit> to wear from her Infinite Stowing (Inventory))
The girls’ magic has been considerably weakened and mana recovery is slower than usual. The condition in the atmosphere around the girls is similar to some unique skills they have encountered, but this one is cause not by skills or spells.

They were forced to leave Leviathan behind and proceed towards the mobile [Research Centre]. The girls’ spells begin to lose their efficacy terribly and even mild <Heal> spell takes huge amount of mana and concentration to cast. Risu started breaking the Magic Hands faster than Hikaru can remake them, and they have to make their way with Risu dropping midway and hoping they could catch it up later. Risu follow the girls all the while, trying to spit goo at them. The trees uproot themselves while swinging their branches towards the girls. Some small stones begin rolling and trying to trip the girls. Larger rocks and boulders raise small arms or produce a spout to shoot and throw stones at high velocity towards the girls.

Without their flexible shields, the girls have to rely on their physical stamina and agility to avoid the incoming stones. Hikaru use her Claiomh Solais to intercept many of them, dealing with the larger ones. Mia’s bow skill allows her to shoot down the stones with her arrows and the attacking trees. Mia displays her impressive archery skills by sharing Garuda’s sight with her, and shoots multiple arrows with precise accuracy. Sera equipped herself with a pair of silver gloves, knee cap, and boots, and start kicking with her legs and blocking the stones with her fist. She sometimes catches the incoming rocks and throws them back like a martial artist master. During younger days, Sera used to watch her sister train in martial arts, and practice them in secret during her free time, even after attending the monastery and practice to be a miko there monastery. Sera’s movement is as natural as the wind and as graceful as an antelope. Sistina’s golems were made to take humanoid form and run along with them beside the girls, as the grounds is not stable and riddled with stones, roots and sudden attacks from the nearby trees or rocks. Some golems got entangled by root traps set by infected trees, and they tried to corrupt the golems. The process takes a long while, so the golems just continuously hack away at the trees. Some of them manage to free themselves, and Sistina command them to rejoin the girls in their battle. The golems guard the rear and some even sacrificed themselves to block large boulder attacks at the rear while Hikaru is busy in the front.

“What is happening exactly? Monster attacks, and now even the rocks and boulder are turning into golems?” (Hikaru)
“Can you create another summon to assist Hikaru, Mia?” (Sera)
“Mwuu. Spirits run away. Insufficient” (Mia)
“Even my golems with magic core as power source have stopped operating. Only those using philosopher stone furnace can still function” (Sistina)
The girls continuously run while fighting and avoid the incoming attacks. Garuda spotted something from some distance and Mia informed the girls of it.

The girls finally reached their destination and an invisible object break out from the ground. After a while, the [Research Centre] scanned the biometric of the girls and recognize them. The large-scale spell of <Mirage> and <Camouflage> cast on the mobile [Research Centre] is now cancelled and the girls quickly board it by being <Warp> into it. They exit the quarantine chamber after getting the green light in three seconds. Hikaru go to a special chamber that specialize in managing infection and remove her <Astro Suit> there. She takes a small swab from the residue goo on her armour, and the reaction caused smoke to rise from the swab tool made of soft cotton-like material and it fell on the floor. Hikaru picked it up on the floor with a pair of tweezers and place the sample in between two slides of glass-like material. The security of the room has risen to Biohazard Alert Level 4, the second highest emergency warning in the research facility.
Mia sits in the operation room and monitors the environment and she drives the [Research Centre] to deal with any incoming danger. Sera gets more supplies that deals with infection, and Sistina tune-up the entire research facility to operate at maximum capacity.

Hikaru check the sample under the microscope and found that the cells have begun mutating. She crystallized the sample with Ice magic <Cyrofreeze>(Hikaru was guided to Dejima for some power-up with Core-chan’s gift orbs by Arisa and girls some time after the succubus incident) and examines it with an electron microscope made by Satou (Hikaru needs to supply electricity by a focused large electrical charge Lightning magic <Thunderbolt> and Light magic <Illumination> for display at the diaphragm). There are invasive viruses that attack the cells of the creature and produce mutated cells. The mutated cells turns violent, spreading its appendages into nearby cells and inject the virus nearby it or into it, causing a sustained continuous chain reaction. The cells affected include soft tissue, muscles, bones, organs, etc.  It is a very alarming discovery, and the Hikaru is shocked to learn the extent of the infection. The most shocking discovery is that the virus has the capability to instruct some of the invaded cells to stick onto inanimate cluster of particles and use its appendages to enter and control the particles. After some time, when the cells have died, the virus can already control the particles and it starts to spread to other particles. The virus is trying to convert the environment to itself in its entirety.

The discovery of the virus left Hikaru distraught. It is somewhat similar to a science fiction Hikaru used to read when she is young. Hikaru uses the intercom in the lab to announce the nature of the infection they are dealing with.
Hikaru wears back her <Astro Suit> and goes out of the lab. At the exit, she regrouped with the other girls. Mia has parked the mobile [Research Centre] inside a rock solid cave. Though conversion of the environment would eventually reach there, it would take a very long time, as there are a lot of materials to convert and the solid nature of the granite mountain. Risu finally caught up with the girls and still in its mutated for, begin barging at the flexible shields and force shield set-up around the [Research Centre] perimeter together with other animals that turned into monsters. Mia operates an arm from the side of the [Research Centre] to catch and place Risu into a suspended animation chamber that is equipped with <Space> magic made by Satou.

The girls then quickly go to the disinfection chamber, turn on the disinfection spray and soak up to waist length in liquid Magic Essence that dissolves any organic materials. They got up from the Magic Essence pool and got into the command chamber of the laboratory. The girls then enter their individual capsules and are swiftly moved to their Holy Shell Mobile Armour. Hikaru gets a white shining Holy Shell Mobile Armour, equipped with HS32- Divine Blade, HW47 – Magic Wand, HWB56 – Divine Wand Blade, and a HD21 – Divine Reactive Shield.
Mia get a leaf green Holy Shell Mobile Armour, equipped with MW35 - Divine Wand, and MS43 - Divine Magic Shield slotted with MF10 – Magical Flute Wand and MB15 – Divine Magic Bow
Sera gets a brilliant silver Holy Shell Mobile Armour, equipped with SEW41 – Divine Holy Wand and SES38 – Divine Magical Shield that can produce multiple syringe physically and magically to inject and procure specimens.
Sistina gets a glowing blue Holy Shell Mobile Armour, equipped with dual SIB32 – Divine Magic Baton, and dual SID11 – Extendable Magic Shields on both arms.

Hikaru’s Mobile Armour is designed for direct combat use, with focus on sword and magic damage. Her Mobile Armour is also equipped with 256 attack pods and 64 repair pods, equipped with self-repair module.
Mia’s Mobile Armour is designed to maximise strong summons with small area focused buff and also support system for summons and channels magic attacks from all other Mobile Armours.
Sera’s Mobile Armour has strong defensive system focusing on survival and healing. Her attack pods can both deal damage and can heal allies.
Sistina’s Mobile Armour specialise in modern warfare and group battle. Sistina also has special magic compartment to study how to convert the monsters back to their original form.
All Holy Shell Mobile Armour is almost 10 metres tall, giving an intimidating feeling to humanoid-sized people. The Mobile Armours are powered by Philosopher stone furnaces and Chromatic stones.

The girls quickly get into action and equip, refuel and check their Mobile Armour individually. The process that normally takes up to 30 minutes is now shortened to 2 minutes due to assistance of Raka Mk4 AI made by Satou, but Satou still wants to reduce the time of the system by making use of time and storage magic in the future. The Mobile Armours roared to life, Hikaru swings open the [Research Centre] doors and the girls step out into Blue Territory forest again with their suit and Mobile Armour equip this time. The [Research Centre] is not cram at all due to Satou’s and Arisa’s placement of <Space Magic>. The girls try to get use to their new toys, as they can only use <Flash Step> and Aerial Boost of wind stone element from the Mobile Armour. The girls still remember the accident that happened few days back when Hikaru tried to perform <Ground Shrink> and end up inside a mountain. Due to Satou’s failsafe measure, Hikaru only end up immobilized inside a huge rock and didn’t merge with the rock.

The girls got to the spot which they first spot the mutated cockroach. Things look normal for the time being in normal display. However, things are moving at the background, out of sight from the girls.
“I will check the surroundings with heat sensor and tremor sensor” (Hikaru)
Hikaru checks with her Mobile Armour sensors and also activated her <Appraisal> skill.
“Nn. Activate sensors” (Mia)
“I activated my sensors too”
“My machine has many golem units with sensors too. They can detect at location far away” (Sistina)
Mia, Sera and Sistina also follow suit and activate all their sensors for long-range monster detection and mapping.
The Mobile Armour sensors detect numerous sources of minor tremors and strange temperature readings all around them.
“You all be careful of your surroundings. My Appraisal skill sensed multiple enemies around us. They seem to merge with the environment” (Hikaru)
The girls didn’t realize the full extend of the truth yet. The girls detected the level 60 cockroach soon, but monsters, trees, rocks, and even fluid bodies have started moving and attacking the girls. They number in tens of thousands of them, and the girls dispatch them with magic and their Mobile Armours. They shoot goo and objects from afar, and when they got near enough, they open their mouth wide and an extendable jaw emerge from their throat and spit out concentrated goo at weak joints of the Mobile Armour. The flexible shields and force shields got destroyed quickly due to the large numbers of creatures attacking them. The system aided with the magic deployment of barriers and shields of the girls, and has only small downtime where the creatures utilize to attack the Mobile Armour. The large stature of the Mobile Armour allows for a large resistance against the infectious goo attacks of the creatures.

The [Research Centre] is now on Raka AI auto-mode and proceed to attack with gun projectiles similar to Lulu’s Fortress. It crush several of the approaching monsters and trees with its wheels and frontal armour, but get some of the green goo on its hull and is currently eating away at the metal.
All the Mobile Armour can summon a hundred and twenty golems modeled after their main frame using the materials from the environment, but the anti-magic particles reduces the effectiveness to only twenty-four golems units. The newly created golems also show signs of viral infection and their hitpoints reduced constantly at moderate speed, and change to hostile mode once their hitpoints is reduced to zero, and turn into a new enemy unit.

“They are not only merging with the environment, they are the environment” (Hikaru)
“My magic skill affinity is really low against this new threat. My own summoned golems are turning against me. I can just use my Earth magic mastery to aid in the battleground and provide support with my other weaker elementary magics” (Sistina)
“I will provide healing and cure the infection and damage with my advanced <Light> and <Holy> magic. My common skill <Lightning> and <Water> elemental magic also has its uses” (Sera)
“Nnn. Summons cannot. All magic can” (Mia)
Mia wants to say that she can’t utilize summons in this environment because there are no useful spirits in their location due to the infection, and she has basically an almost full repertoire of magic skills, though Mia is best at <Wind> and <Water> magic element, and <Spirit> and moderate <Nature> magic. Due to her taciturn behavior, she only summarizes her words briefly.

The monsters shoot green goo from their mouths and stick onto the surface of the scale shields deployed around the girls’ Mobile Armour. After several seconds, the health bar of the shields started dropping very quickly and a burning hole can be spotted on the shield. Even the splatters from the acid burst are able to puncture small holes and reduce the health bar of the adjacent shields. The monsters seem to be of multiple forms. Some are the trees, some are looking like the rocks, and some are mutated animal that look so ferocious. They come charging in blindly without a care for their condition and attack the girls with everything they got. Hikaru slice and dice the monsters with her large Divine Blade and resist the green goo infection by blocking it with her Divine Shield.  Although it is a Divine item, there is almost no divinity in them, they are just designed after Satou’s Divine Sword. Satou’s primeval magic is still unable to create more divine materials to work with, so the current weapons all work almost like a holy weapon.

The interface of their Mobile Armour is very similar to science fiction in Satou’s world, due to him having a collection of them in his room. There is a display screen attached to the head like virtual reality headset, and many brains sensors attached to the headset to read the reaction of the girls in the brain itself, reducing the time lag of the body motor movement. The warrior girls need to operate with the system that uses body reflex and muscles, but these brainy magician girls operate faster on their brain and is able to handle the load of raw and processed data input from the Mobile Armour, enabling them control over the machines almost like their own body. The Mobile Armour movements are fluid and life-like, allowing maximum battle capability. With the augment of virtual-reality that Satou provide to the Mobile Armour, the girls have expanded visions and sensations, the input of data will overwhelm any ordinary people and cripple them, while they give headache to the warrior girls. Only Arisa and somehow Lulu managed to barely able to control these Mobile Armour using brain-sensor interface. The high intelligence stat of the girls helped very much with their ability to cope with the amount of inputs.

Mia utilize her advanced Wind magic <Air Vacuum> to collect and control the monster mobs into a tight spot so that their attacks can hit more easily and to control their movements to a certain extent. Her Divine Wand then issued Water magic <Aqua Blade> and Ice magic <Ice Edge> and <Ice Lance>. The magic attacks gracefully pierce and slice the monsters and trees, and the ice magic is strong enough to destroy the rocks and boulders. Mia’s magic is impressive due to her especially high intelligence stats, she can use her bow together with her wands to strike at the mutated monsters.

Sera uses her Light and Holy magic to weave a net barrier to defend the perimeter around the girls, even on the ground. They consume much lesser amount of mana to maintain to a full barrier, has good offensive power when defending against monster rushes. Her wand shines brightly as she constantly perform <Purification Virus> spell on Hikaru who go to the frontlines, and some of Sistina’s battle golems. With Magic Edge on her wand and shield, Sera is able to cut the smaller monsters that managed to slip through Hikaru, and produce bouncing shield that bounce off the green goo back to the attacker before it touches the shield and body of her Mobile Armour.

Sistina is only able to summon twenty-four golems, but she can augment them and customize their individual abilities. They are also stronger and bulkier. There are six one-handed sword and shield as guards, six magician types, focusing on healing, buffing allies, teleport allies around, and minor offensive magic attack. Another six of them are agile battle golems that shoot darts and arrows from a distance, and strike at weak spots with their dagger in close combat. Sistina with the combat batons is able to coordinate her battle golems to fill in any role missing in the team. She also uses her shield to protect from green goo attacks and to smack at enemies with her batons coated with Magic Edge.
“This reminds me of the battle with Golden Wild Boar King Demon Lord” (Hikaru)
Hikaru said that as she utilizes her [Damnation Cannon Mk5] onto a cluster of monsters gathered by Mia’s <Air Vacuum>. Hikaru notice that the drones that Satou deployed in the air and ground to monitor Blue Territory has been infected with the aggressive virus and are now coming to attack the girls with its core equipped with Chromatic stone. This will be a troublesome enemy to deal with.
The converted monsters have red, blue, and purple ropes across their bodies. They look similar to the fiend drug case in the Royal Capital. This is noted and mentioned by Hikaru, Mia and Sistina.
“Looks like an advanced version of fiend drug effect” (Hikaru)
“Nn. Infection” (Mia)
“I can heal them, but they got infected again after a while, and they spread too quickly” (Sera)
“We can somewhat reduce the efficacy of fiend drugs if we deprive its users of miasma fog around. But in this virus case, <Purification Virus> spell can only work for a while and the infection will return. It’s like the virus is in the air itself. If only Satou is here to show how he undo the monsterfication like he did with Hisui.” (Sistina)

Hikaru immediately tried to raise the alarm to Satou, but before she can sound it, Satou has already arrived and exterminate the abominations. Satou then release a special container that look like sci-fi container riddled with locks. The container has a switch that Satou promptly pull the lever, and a biometric scanner has Satou’s eyes scanned. Satou then supply his magic, and inserts a special holy sword that looks like a key into a transparent opening at the container. The container opened with brilliant display of lights, and then subsides to display four Holy Shell Mobile Armour augment pack. They are magic power battery equipped with ten Holy Swords charged to maximum worth of magic power inside. The packs are also able to reduce magic cancellation effect up to a certain distance from the device.
Mia summons Tiamat, Garuda, Behemoth, Phoenix, Ifrit, and Belthazor. She also create <Tsunami> and a lake of water with her advanced Water magic for Leviathan to join into battle. The arrival of Satou attracts many new spiritual beings to their area.

“Are you girls ok with the enemy? Can you handle them for the time being?” (Satou)
“What are you saying? Isn’t it the wife’s duty to help her husband when he’s in a pinch?” (Hikaru)
“Nn. Leave it to me”
“It should be “Leave it to us”, Mia-san. I will fulfill my duty as your first legal wife and stop all the monsters here” (Sera)
“You are such a worrywart, Satou. Let’s us handle the monsters here by ourselves.” (Sistina)
Satou wants to retort Hikaru’s and Sera’s comment, but he’s lack of time and let it be for the time being. Why are the girls’ thinks they are already my wives, thought Satou.
“There is an emergency at the warrior team in Dejima labyrinth. Please use these packs to stall the infection for as long as possible until I return. This container here can also be converted into a research facility and Armoured Mobile parts” (Satou)
“You still like to create many new gimmick and parts, just like when you were studying back then.” (Hikaru)
“So Satou is into mechanical engineering” (Sistina)
Hikaru again revived some memories that Satou would prefer buried forever.
“I have checked the infection virus with electron microscope with four times the magnification capability inside the [Research Centre]. The virus can spread and create new viruses, but it has limited lifespan. Only the original ones can continue to live on indefinitely” (Satou)
“Most of the original viruses come from the level 60 cockroach.  I will use powerful disinfection spell to clear away the majority of it. Please hold out the rest of them until I return” (Satou)
Satou exerted himself and cast multiple <Holy Javelin> onto many hotspots with viruses. Satou injected some divine energy into each of the javelins, and aim them to its precise location. Several of them hit the level 60 cockroach that is in camouflage and cause it to cauterize and shrink while shaking around in a fit.
“Can you bestow us some power capable of neutralizing the virus?” (Sera)
“Sure Sera, <Divine Holy Light Magic>, <Divine Holy Light Shield>.” (Satou)
“”””Thank you Satou-sama””””” (Hikaru, Mia, Sera, Sistina)

Back to the past (Satou’s POV)
This mutated cockroach was found by Satou one day when he was looking through Selbira dungeon and found a group of adventurers are having a hard time fighting it.
(Going back to founding time, Satou’s POV)
“It’s using its feelers to attack like swatters. Shield-bearers stand guard” (Adventurer 1 - leader)
“Defend the flanks. Don’t let it catch you off guard” (Adventurer 2 - archer)
“Shoot your magic and attacks. The shell is slippery and it bounces our blade off. Hit any of its joint” (Adventurer 3 – swordsman + shield)
The team of adventurers is slowly taking it down, but the mutated cockroach just won’t take things lying down. It makes a shrill sound and many lower level cockroaches start attacking the group of adventurers from the rear. The lightly defended side started to get injured and their teamwork began to crumble. I cast multiple <Ground Strike> to skewer the attacking cockroaches and cast healing to the injured or disabled adventurers. I noticed they were beginners trained at the adventurer school of Selbira. Looks like they have the basics hammered into them by Jenna-san and Iruna-san.
I leave the dead cockroaches as loot for the beginner adventurers, and store the mutated cockroach into [Isolator Cage <Deracinator Jail>].  The mutated cockroach is level 30 when I appraise it.

(Back to current timeline)
Satou uses <Unit Arrangement> and move to Dejima labyrinth to help with an emergency there. Creatures that seems like they love to hugs faces began jumping off from the insides of the cockroaches and latch themselves onto anything – rocks, trees, animals, water, birds, and start assimilating into them. Those that tried to assimilate inanimate items in the environment don’t seem to react much and mostly went into dormant state. Some that did react turn into fierce golem-like creature of the element they are attached to. For the living entities, they turn into monsters similar to fiend drug users, but they have additional blue and purple ropes around their body, and are far more aggressive and continue spewing out infectious green goo to the surroundings. Even the trees are not spared and they turn into monsters, uprooting themselves and attacking with their thick branches or lying in wait for victims with their root or branch traps ready to ensnare them when they are not careful.

Sistina studies how to turn the creature back to their original form, but failed to do so before they turn aggressive and ended up having to kill them before they caused further harm. The main requirement for demonsterfication is speed of the process to return them back and the aggressiveness of the monsters during that process. So far, the process has been a very painful one and the cure is more hurtful than death itself because they destroy and recreate the body again, using alchemical process. She has read up books after books on demonsterfication, but most of it isn’t practical and the research into that field is incomplete. Her compilation of information seems to indicate the need to separate two sources of properly mixed elements in the body of monsters. This is also incomplete, and only Satou has managed to do to Hisui, Doris’ songbird. The removal of this source also means the removal of the magic core from the body, which is the crystallization of one of the magical source in the body. Sistina also noticed that Satou used a special concoction to revive the animal that has returned from being a monster. She has tried many trials on mice and small creatures, and still can’t successfully make one. Sistina brewed another new potion in her chamber and pass it out to her magic battle golem to inject them into some of the monsters to test them out after Sera or her golems has cured them temporarily with <Purification Virus> and other magic that recover them from their aggressive status.

In order to deal with hundreds of thousands of monsters and inanimate objects attacking the girls from all direction, the girls decide to make use of the packs to their full capacity. They erected a large ritual magical barrier similar to a city core over a small area where they stay inside it, and leave several small openings for the monsters to enter. They position themselves in the middle, and the magical power from the pack aided in maintaining the barrier well. The effect from anti-magic particles got lesser and the girls’ magical power and Mobile Armours’ ability has returned quite a lot, allowing the girls magical ability to manifest better.

Hikaru in her Mobile Armour managed to deal with all the monsters in the entrance. Her flexible shields now are able to withstand several of the green goo attacks. Hikaru obtained a pole from the armoury Satou left behind. It attaches to the Divine blade Hikaru is holding, making its reach longer. When she hits it against large enemies, she can control the pole to give it a powerful pierce and explosion that destroys the monster or objects directly. Hikaru has been swinging her new weapon like some sort of goddess now. The green goo effect has been reduced, and Hikaru engage the enemy in melee. She still uses her magical attack to extend the reach of her attacks, creating multiple magical forms of her weapon and send it to the clusters of monsters pouring forth from the openings. She also laid her magical mines outside the barrier to explode at the monsters crowding at the outside entrance of the ritual barrier. When all her melee enemies eliminated, she arms her Damnation Cannon Mk5 and shoots it at the entrance where monsters are pouring in. Hikaru’s golems are basically there to stall and attract the monsters’ attention and pull monster trains towards her.

Mia utilizes her summons to command three or four golems each from her Mobile Armour. Mia also equips each of her summonses with weapons and light armours that won’t inhibit their movements from the armoury. The golems that became the summons’ subordinate change their form to mimic the summonses, albeit in smaller form. Mia also summon out seven elemental dragons, similar to Arisa, but of different size and capability due to summoner’s skill difference. Due to Mia’s interaction with [No Life King] Zen, ironically her shadow magic got into intermediate level closing to advance level, allowing her to use more shadow-based skills and even allow her to summon a powerful shadow demon, Belthazor. Garuda is floating in the sky outside the strong ritual barrier and acts as a scout, provide the image from sky directly to Mia through summoner link. Tiamat’s powerful seven heads shots magic attacks of each element.  Behemoth strikes with its Lightning attacks to pulverize the mutated monsters. Phoenix and Ifrit synergize themselves in a teamwork and burn everything to dust, with Phoenix roasting the air itself in a wide area, and Ifrit spew molten lava at targeted monsters that resisted fire damage. Belthazor moves in the shadow and kill off the monsters in the shadow with its large sickle. Leviathan uses its Water magic to perform <Aqua Heal> onto any injured allies and avoid disturbing Phoenix and Ifrit’s element synergy. Mia’s Magic Flute is playing a harmonious melody that provides positive effects to her summons and her allies. Her summonses all got their magical abilities, magical power, agility, and morale boost up greatly, and her golems and elemental dragons have their hitpoints and agility greatly boosted, allowing them to take more hits and deal more damage to their enemies.

Sera summoned a new being made of pure Light and Holy magic, [Angel] with her understanding of <Spirit Seer> magic and assistance of her enchanted Mobile Armour. The summoned being is still quite unstable, but Sera is slowly mastering to control her new skill. Sera synergize with Angel to produce powerful <Purification Virus> spell of Light and Holy magic. From the armoury, Sera obtain a large and powerful healing beacon pole. The pole follows Sera’s wand’s movements with no inertial losses, making it surreal to those from Earth like Hikaru. Sera then place the beacon in mid-air, and her twenty-four golems act as proper guard with barrier on themselves and interlinked with each other through light lime wires. Monsters that came out from below and those that escaped Hikaru’s watch tried to reach for the beacon got cut down by the light lime wire that is invisible to the naked eyes. Satou’s <Divine Holy Light Magic> and <Divine Holy Light Shield> match with Sera’s affinity and her Mobile Armour and her <Angel> summon produce light brilliance that can cure many of the ailments suffered by the monsters there. Some of the smaller monsters revert back to normal under the brilliance. However, the pilot and caster herself is suffering greatly in her cockpit, with only her willpower that maintains her composure and remain calm. Several of the cocoons that came out from the level 60 cockroach landed a hard blow to the flank of her Mobile Armour, and penetrated her powerful shields with great damage on both attackers and defender. Her healing beacon pole did heal her a little, and it constantly heals the damage on Sera’s body that is constantly getting tear down by the virus cells.

Sistina go to the armoury and retrieve various weapons and tools for her battle golems to utilize. She got her battle golems into formation to protect the girls at the rear and flank. There is also a backpack that can detach into several large attack beacons when equipped on Sistina’s Mobile Armour. She got the attack pods to fly around and eliminate enemies from the air and ground, and when two of the attack pods got their thrusters damaged, Sistina equip in on her Mobile Armour’s arms and used like a pair of sword. Sistina is totally in awe and madly in love with all the mecha and gimmicks Satou made for the Mobile Armours. Among all the magician girls, Sistina played and tested the most of her Mobile Armour’s features and read the instruction manual carefully, and also tune her Mobile Armour up herself with the help of her personal golems. Sistina’s Mobile Armour has multiple gimmicks in it, each is similar to some special effects on screen, and was developed independently without any of Satou’s or Arisa’s homeworld’s influences. Rockets and missile pods came out from the side of the Mobile armour, and Sistina uses her composite spell <Refill> and <Relaunch> to continuously fire her attacks without an end. Some monsters managed to reach Sistina’s Mobile Armour from the underground, but she uses her <Levitation> spell and from her Mobile Armour, enemy-seeking missiles hit the monsters until they release her and she slashed them with her attack pod swords. Some parts of her armour got infected by the green goo, but she still can operate them. Some sort of enlightenment suddenly hits Sistina, and she controls the remaining intact attack pods to wildly slice and dice the enemy remotely in her awakened state.

During that time, the indicator for magic power in all the Mobile Armour the girls are using sounded almost at the same time. The magic power from the philosopher stone furnace is running low, and the power pack supplied by Satou kicked into action, resupplying their Mobile Armour again with magic power. The number of infected and mutated monsters, trees, and objects rushing to attack the girls don’t seem to subside and got even worse.
“This is endless. We have to clear the entire virus infection so that new monsters can stop spawning.” (Hikaru)
“Nnn, endless. Keep killing” (Mia)
“We can use one powerful ritual purification magic spell to hopefully clear all the infection” (Sera)
“The idea sounds overly optimistic, but that’s what we can only hope to achieve before Satou return” (Sistina)
“I think I know just right method to do that” (Hikaru)
Hikaru inform the girls the method she once uses during her battle with Golden Wild Boar King. The other girls disagree to blow up one of their Mobile Armour that Hikaru will modify its programme to become unstable, but instead all of them will maximize their Mobile Armour capacity and achieve the explosion without any sacrifice.
Hikaru diverts all the magic power from all the Mobile Armour, the armoury, and the [Research Centre] into the ritual magic spell to purify the entire area of the virus specifically. Mia became the catalyst to boost and control the spell, and Hikaru became the epicentre of the spell, and is programming the spell to specifically eliminate the targeted virus only. Sera is in-charge of converting the magic power into Holy Magic, and Sistina operates the machineries to defend their location while provide extra magic control to stabilize the ritual magic.

The operation is exceedingly dangerous, but the girls choose to stand and execute it together for Satou’s sake. The magic power is diverted from all avaliable sources, even from the air and ground, having a tug-of-war with the anti-magic particles in the air and ground. The equipment and pebbles even vibrate during this struggle to overpower each other, as the anti-magic particles get thicker in response to the girls’ large-scale spell.
The golems begin to lose operation several at a time, so that the girls don’t get surrounded after losing their defense all of a sudden. The girls desperately defend themselves against the attacking monsters while their machines are powering down to divert it all to the large-scale spell. Some light beams come down to aid the girls once a while from the [Orbital Satellite], sent by the AI.
When the spell is ready, Hikaru unleash the spell, with the girls as the epicenter. Thick blinding light is emitted towards outside in a hemispheric shape. The expansion and contraction of the surrounding air even bend and contracted the Orichalcum frame of the Mobile Armour. The Holy Light explosion engulfs the entire area with thick blinding light.
Mia’s shadow summon Belthazor got undone in an instant. The light is so bright that it engulfs the entire forest in bright light, and can be seen as a beacon of light from the observatory of Boruenan Forest, alerting Lua-san and other elven researchers at the Boruenan Observatory. The light even reached the edges of the Royal Capital of Shiga kingdom and the borders of Saga Empire, but the incident is eclipsed by the more immediate danger of Meteor Shower and the display of Aurora Borealis. The light seems to last forever for the girls in Blue Territory training ground. After some time, the light subsided and all the monsters, plants, trees, water, rocks, boulders, and things as large as a hill were piled up around the girls as far as the eyes can see.

However, movements of objects can still be seen from afar, and the girls have already used up all their magic power in the last spell. Things look grim for the girls, and they pour out their own magical power from their own body to move their Mobile Armour out of the wreckage. This is not effective as their Mobile Armour sustain serious damage from the compression and contraction of the last spell, and just can stand and watch. The girls are forced to open the hatch and exit their Mobile Armour. Mia’s hatch is stuck and she can’t exit her Mobile Armour, so she made her summons protect the other girls that exit the hatch with what little spirit magic available.
Satou contacted the girls with Tactic Talk, and inform that he has completed the matter in Dejima and is coming to aid the girls now. From the sky, countless beam of Holy Light came down and purify the entire Blue Territory Forest like rain. The dazzling show of light lasted for almost an hour. After the light show is over, Satou descended to the girl’s location with <Sky Drive>. He saw Mia stuck in her Mobile Armour, and free her with <Unit Arrangement>.

All the girls looks okay. But Satou noticed one of the girls is having a pale look on her face.
“Are you okay Sera? You look sickly” (Satou)
“I’m okay Satou-sama. Please move away from me, quickly” (Sera)
Satou starts to get suspicious of Sera’s behavior, and decides to perform a <Status Check> on Sera. Satou was surprised that Sera can still walk in her condition. On her stomach and chest area, large portion of it has turned red, blue, and purple in colour, and the virus infestation has reached a critical state, with a portion of it is from the origin point of the cockroach.
Satou takes out a small bed and laid Sera carefully on it. Sera still tried to struggle around and avoid Satou, trying to run away.
“Please stay still, you are badly infected. Let me see the wound” (Satou)
“No, please, let me go. I don’t want you to see my wound and get infected with the virus. I just want to die alone” (Sera)
The other girls got shocked when they realized that Sera is in a critical state.
“Shhh, lay down here on the bed and don’t think too much. Nothing bad will happen to you when I’m around.” (Satou said as he laid Sera down properly)
“Even my holy magic can’t do anything to it” (Sera said as tears run down her eyes)
“If even this body can’t take it, I will create a new body for you and revive you again. I won’t let you go away from me that easily.” (Satou press a button on the underside of Sera’s silver armour and the pieces collect themselves into a compact case, and Satou slowly lifts the part of her dress near her stomach and her chest area)
I can just use the Holy Light on her, but it may hurt her too much. I can even recreate her body with the code I got from the forbidden magic <Another World> and use Soul magic to place her soul inside her new body. Though I can recreate life, but I can’t create a soul. Let’s not be a brute here and  just keep this to myself, yes.
“Really? You won’t let me leave you?” (Sera shows her crying face with mixed emotion, shyly covering her face when Satou open her dress)
“Yes, I won’t let you go even if the Gods decide to take you away” (Satou)
“Oh Satou” (Sera)
““What about us, Satou”” (Hikaru and Sistina)
“Mwuu. Unfair” (Mia)

(Satou’s POV)
Oh no, why do I speak up my mind’s feelings in the heat of the moment? Now the girls have begun to demand equal treatment.
“Don’t worry, Sera is currently in emergency treatment. Please excuse her for a moment” (Satou)
I quickly give an excuse so that I can start treating Sera for her infection. I activate my <Spirit Seer>, <Magic Seer>, <Soul Seer>, <Miasma Seer>, <Microscopic Seer>, and <Infection Seer>. This time I overuse my eyes too much, so I activate the spell <Heal> to constantly heal the damage on my eyes and brain to cope with the situation. <Parallel Thought> and <Thought Acceleration> is also activated to reduce the burden on the brain. The condition on Sera’s body is really dangerous. The infection has spread to her lungs and heart at the chest area. Her abdominal area is also badly affected and some of her organs have to be operated at. If I’m still on Earth, the doctors will deem this case as impossible to cure, and the only option is to cut off the infected parts. But on this planet, magic and divine power exists. I quickly take out my [Nectar Rev] that has been added with additional healing holy magic and consumable Magic Essence produced in [Orbital Station], and Blood Elixir Rev 4. I let Sera drink them a little to strengthen her body. I pour divinity into my right hand, and I place my hands on her chest. I try to ignore the sensation of holding onto a mound. Peace of mind! Calm mind! Clear mind!

While pouring a little divinity onto Sera’s skin, I observe the changes on her body. Magic Seer can see changes in the magical flow in Sera’s body, and the infected area has reduced its pulling of mana from her body towards the area. Miasma Seer shows that minor miasma buildup due to body stress has also reduced. Spirit Seer and Soul Seer don’t show much changes, though the colour did change, which may indicate the state of the soul mind and health of the body which are interconnected. Microscopic Seer can pick up small particles moving in Sera’s bloodstream towards the skin where Satou place his hands. Infection Seer can see that the inflammation of the body and the attacks on Sera’s body has slowed down. The virus has started to move along with their infected host cells towards Satou’s hand, which Satou place a barrier to repel any of the infected cells from entering his skin and steal the divinity on his body. In order to improve the speed of the gathering of the virus particles, I place both hands on Sera’s infected parts while projecting divinity on them. I also regulate Sera’s blood flow at the infected area to faster gather all the origin virus cells and particles. Mia got completely angry about the situation, but I beg her to understand that this is an emergency. Sera even shows a happy shy face even though it should be very painful for her. Please stop provoking the other girls, Sera.

After I gathered all the origin virus particles and cells on Sera’s chest skin surface, I quickly slice it off using <Laser> light magic and destroy it with <Annihilation> spell I learned from Mia. I quickly apply <Heal> holy magic on Sera and heal her skin, while letting her drink more of Blood Elixir Rev 4 to recover her blood loss and vitality. I would need to carefully monitor the dosage of [Nectar Rev] as it may be too potent for the Soul Vessel of non-reincarnated people. I repeat the process on Sera’s abdomen, and this time I store the cut-off skin in my storage. Storing one from Sera’s chest area may bring bad memories to Sera, so I refrain from doing so earlier. After healing the skin, I check again with my Seers eyes. There is no remaining origin virus, but the generated virus using body cells and materials has shown that it has spread to the entire body due to the blood flow regulation earlier. I use <Recovery> and <Large Heal> to heal the damaged cells caused by the virus, and revitalizes the cells so that they are back to normal. I then use <Purification Virus> three times to make sure no virus particles generated from the origin virus survive in Sera’s body. With that, Sera’s body return back to normal. I repeat the <Recovery> and <Large Heal> to make sure all her cells are revitalized completely.

I get a bag of girl clothes from my Storage and pass it to Sera. I made sure to properly tell Sera that it was prepared by Arisa. I don’t want to be known as a pervert who store girl clothes with me. After wearing her clothes, Sera sat down and looked down at the ground for some reason. I asked her what is the matter.
“I want you to fulfill your promise for a mouth-to-mouth when I face a situation like my sister Ringrande last time” (Sera said while shyly hiding her eyes)
I would gladly do it for her if she is alone, but looking at the TPO, she forgot that she has three others with her. The strong fortress, Mia will definitely censor me.
“I will do it if the others are alright with it” (Satou said jokingly, waiting for the girls to reject it)
“I am alright as long as Satou also give it to me too” (Hikaru)
“Mwu. No choice. Kiss Mia too” (Mia)
“I also want a kiss from Satou-sama too” (Sistina)
Why the girls seem so keen on the harem route? This is a bit perplexing. The mouth-to-mouth has now become a kiss.
I gulp a bottle of the Blood Elixir Rev 4 and mix it with some of my Magic Essence and Holy magic. I look at Sera’s face. I have been kissed by her before, and now I am doing it to her. Sera closed her eyes, and puckered her lips. I put my face close to hers, and place my lips on hers. I release the content in my mouth slowly inside her, and push my tongue out to send out the remaining fluid into her mouth. Sera playfully bite onto my tongue when I push mine into her mouth. Sera can sometimes show her cheeky side to me, which is kind of fun once a while. Not many people can imagine that the once celibate miko can have this side of her character. Mia quickly pulls us apart after I have administered the elixir.
“Will you take responsibility of me? You have seen a maiden’s precious body” (Sera said while covering her mouth)
I don’t want to hurt her feelings by rejecting her, so lets give her a vague answer.
“Sera is a beautiful girl. When you come of age and still wants me, I will accept Sera.” (Satou)
Sera seems to have fallen asleep. How come I felt like she fainted? Hikaru, Mia, and Sistina are looking at me with dissatisfied face. I quickly move on to another task.

“Now, it is time to give us our fair share, hehehe” (Hikaru)
Please spare me the laughter. This is not a joking matter. In case of anything, I operate my eyes with six of the skills I use to check Sera’s condition on Hikaru, Mia, and Sistina. Hikaru, Mia, and Sistina also have some of the origin virus cells and particles on their body, especially Hikaru.
“Before that, I would have to treat you girls for virus infection first” (Satou)
Having no choice, I also perform the gathering and clearing of the virus particles and cells on them, and give them their mouth-to-mouth drink of the Blood Elixir Rev 4.

After that, I perform large scale cleansing and purification of the Blue Territory and the Holy Shell Mobile Armour units, together with [Research Centre] and the armoury packs. Magic is surely convenient in this case, as large scale cleaning can take years even when done by nations when there is pollution, and the damage is usually irreversible. Mia then shows me a mutated infected squirrel from inside a compartment of the [Research Centre] and requests me to heal it. It takes quite a while to remove the large amount of origin virus on its body. Hikaru was delighted that the squirrel survived and calls it Risu. Hikaru’s <Friendship> unique skill allows her to make friends easily with anything. For now

(Third party’s POV)
The outbreak is now quarantined and the infection virus is mostly destroyed. The remaining virus count is too low to continue the infection directly. The immune system of the living beings will destroy the virus when they are in such low amount. The remaining antivirus created will continue whittle down the mutation virus to a negligible amount.  The inanimate objects that got the infection will be monitored and destroyed immediately if they got violent.
In Boruenan Forest, Satou hold a feast for Aze-tan and the elves, and the girls from Selbira and Dejima joined with the girls from Blue Territory. When asked why they have their dinner in Boruenan Forest, Satou just give a simple reason that things just happen the way it is.

That night in Boruenan Forest, Satou made a feast for the girls. Satou made some special dishes for Aze, and the girls are unhappy. So Satou made special dishes for all the girls. For the beaskin girls, Satou made a big meat dish for Liza, hamburg steaks for Pochi and Tama, and a good amount of meat and vege for Nana. Arisa and Lulu got their favourite Whale Karaage. Hikaru, Mia, Sera, and Sistina are only eating a bit of meat, they have a traumatic experience in their last battle, so I made them some fruit juice drink. I also serve the girls a good amount of wine made from grapes procured from Lesseu and the surrounding region, taking out several barrels of them from Storage.
The magician girls group just realized that they have neglected collecting magic cores and tried to go back to Blue Territory to collect them.  Satou stopped the girls, and reasoned out that the infection out there is still not over and magic cores are abundant and they don’t lack it or have the need to stock more of them.

Arisa spied Satou with <Clairvoyance> spell earlier and know what Satou did to the girls of the magic division at Blue Territory. She told Lulu, Nana, Karina, and Zena. Even Tama and Pochi joined into the conversation, and they protest to Satou about the special ‘treatment’ he gave to the other girls. That night in Solitary Island Palace is a busy one for Satou as he needs to give medical treatment for all the girls that went out for training from the Solitary Island Palace. Satou complained that being popular is not a good thing, and Arisa keeps pester Satou to give them mouth-to-mouth treatment. Satou decides to put them to sleep with <Sleep> and <Lullaby> spell, and the day ended safely for Satou.

In the morning, Arisa woke up the earliest and tried to sneak a kiss from Satou. Satou realized it, and catch Arisa in a hold and made Arisa confess what she planned to do to Satou. Arisa shyly confessed to her action, and ask why Satou never fairly give the other girls mouth-to-mouth yesterday while pouting. Satou tell Arisa why he perform mouth-to-mouth with Sera to calm Arisa down, and meanwhile change the topic about why he allows the girls to train themselves, and he don’t want the girls to endanger themselves too much.

“It’s time to level up with stronger monster, let’s change our hunting ground” (Arisa)
“This is not MMORPG game ok, we can count ourselves lucky if a level 90 plus boss appear, which they do once a while” (Satou)
“Let’s follow the wise saying, ‘If you don’t have it, then make it’” (Arisa)

(Satou’s POV)
This girl sometimes knows her cheats. I have a rough idea how to make it work, but Arisa drew up a detailed plan on how to execute the proposal.
Some may call her crazy, like her initial title when I first saw her, but it sounds workable to me. Though I plan to make it all easy for them. Today’s lesson learned is that the world is still vast, and problems can crop up from everywhere and anywhere anytime. Time to head to the lab and do some tweaking to the girls’ equipment and safety defense at Solitary Island Palace and also Boruenan Forest. I want to bring Aze to train too, but she can’t leave the forest. Maybe I can make a training ground for her using Trazayuya’s Tree Maze design.
Although I don’t plan to force the girls to undergo such harsh training themselves, but I won’t reject them if they are preparing themselves to be strong. Let’s work together, as mad scientist of this world.

Fanfic Post 7 - Daily Training (Leveling Arc) (Mixed POV) Part 2

 Sorry guys, another big delay. So this arc will have one more part to be completed. 

Chapter 16 SS 6 – Daily Training (Leveling Arc) (Mixed POV) Part 2


Liza, Zena, Nana, Karina (Group 2) (Warrior type)

Meanwhile, in Dejima labyrinth
Due to the fully controlled and monitored environment in this labyrinth by Core-chan, the monsters here grew into a healthy numbers. A lot of the plant monsters here are imported from Selbira labyrinth, and most of the mutated ones are brought here in order to grow into a new colony of strong monsters.
Liza is facing off against many lizard-like monsters. They can use their sight to petrify their prey or enemies, called basilisk.
“Your foul sight turn others to stone, so I challenge you” (Nana)
Several hundred basilisks with their eyes glowing red, turn their sight to Nana, but she is not affected by the petrification status effect. With her properly gilded shield, the petrification effect of the monster was reflected back at the attacker with double the effect. This because Nana properly channeled her mana on her shield while using Light magic to amplify the petrification effect. However, Liza showed great dissatisfaction as the basilisks turns to stone, and is therefore inedible.

Rotting corpses and miasma attracted flies and small insects into the dungeon, which in turn became food for these lizardkin monsters. The insects and the lizardkin monsters are in turn became food for the newly introduced plant monsters. The Blaster Corns and Rafflesia Marionette plants that control the mind of monsters like marionette are now facing off against the girls here. Liza uses Magic Spear Douma Mk3 on one hand to deflect the incoming Blaster Corns’ projectile attacks, and another hand with Heiron’s Dragon Tooth spear, she pierces the Blaster Corn carefully and slash off the tentacles of Marionette Rafflesias and hit them at the vital part with mini Magic Edge cannons. Zena uses Wind magic to blow and collect the edible monsters into Liza’s Storage.

Dejima labyrinth is the home of phantasmal beings. Phantasmal beings are able to ignore the physical attacks, which are supposed to have bad affinity with the girls here. However, that’s the point of their training, which is to overcome their limitations. That’s because some countries have noticed and are taking precaution against the girls for being so powerful during the [Gods’ Trial]. One Demon Lord is known as absolute beings, they can destroy an empire or several small nations. However, the girls came out woundless in each encounter with those Demon Lords. The smaller nations surrender themselves to fate, but larger countries are taking stricter measures ad are preparing all they can to take down those that can even defeat Demon Lords.

Karina was feeling bored as Liza strictly forbid her from destroying anymore edible monsters than necessary. After moving in deeper, her turn came, as there were Living Dolls and Iron Golems at the upper floor of the labyrinth. The ever-changing pathways are now less annoying since Satou becomes the Dungeon Master of Dejima labyrinth.
“KARINAA KIIICCCKKK” (Karina)
“<Dance Stilettos>, <Enhance Lightning> <Enhance Water>” (Zena)
Karina starts the battle with the inedible monsters with her signature move. The movement is similar to some arcade game moves and looks outlandish.
Zena activates her stilettos blade’s command and seven of them are now floating and they got coated with Lightning and Water element magic, which are the weakness of the Living Dolls and Iron Golems. The commotion starts to attract Mad Golems, Ash Mud Golem, and Silent Ash Golem to their location. Nana intercepted the attacks from the golems as they tried to perform a surprise attack on the girls, using the dust and shadow as camouflage. The golems and living dolls all crumble in a single hit of the girls, which have terrible weight behind their attacks.

The girls encounter masses of Undead and Wraiths at the middle layer of Dejima labyrinth. Satou has set the dungeon to produce more edible monsters, but it seems that there is insufficient soul points at the moment, and more mechanical monsters was currently running around the dungeon. The Undead are difficult to die, they can rise up again continuously as long as they are not fully destroyed. Lady Karina, wearing her Orichalcum knuckle guards, and equipped with two mithril pole hammers, hammer away at the Undead like smashing pumpkins. She also added her beginner Fire and Lightning magic to enhance her physical attacks with fire (for area damage) and electric (for speed) attributes. Nana enhances her holy greatsword and shield with Light magic and <Vibrating> attribute, slashes at the Undead and Wraiths with great effect. Zena imbued Light magic to her Stilettos short sword and can neutralize the Wraiths and Undead properly, with the flying blades mincing them up. Liza just absentmindedly smashing them up with both her spears, but making sure to never break any magic cores drop by the Undead. There were several rocks that Liza just hit out of instinct, and they turn out to be Rock Gargoyle preparing to strike when they turn their back on them.
“This is fun desuwane” (Karina, as she pounds the Rock Gargoyles to smithereens)
“Always be prepared” (Liza)
Liza strikes down a Wraith about to attack Lady Karina with <Life Drain> skill.
“Thank you Liza-san. I owe you one desuwa” (Karina)
The Undead and Wraiths are no match for Nana and Zena impressive offensive and defensive power, and the inanimate Rock Gargoyles’ ruse has been exposed, so everything goes smoothly.
“Karina-san, please reduce your damage onto the magic core dropped by the Undeads” (Liza)
“It’s impossible to judge it properly but I will try my best desuwa” (Karina)

The warrior girls team encounter with someone unexpected while they were eliminating the dungeon creatures. The elven teachers Gulgapoya the spiral spear, Yuseku the short spear, magic swordswoman Ms Gimasarua, and dwarf shield-user Keriul is in the dungeon, fighting the monsters. They appear to be touched by the reunion, and approached their student. Liza is respectful towards her teachers, and Nana was confused, and keeps repeating “Why in the dungeon?”
“<Karina Kick>” (Karina)
“<Dance Stilettos>” (Zena)
Karina brutally kicked Gulgapoya and he hits against Yuseku, both ended with broken torso and limbs. Zena’s Stilettos surround both Gimasarua and Keriul.
Raka seems to have informed Lady Karina of the incongruity of such meeting. There should not been any intruder in the dungeon, and Karina has experienced it firsthand when lady Liedill appears out of nowhere.

Gimasarua and Keriul began drawing their weapons and Liza hit them down with her magic spear Douma Mk3. Lady Karina smash both Gulgapoya and Yuseku with her twin pole hammers, creating quite a spectacle.
“Is such violence necessary? Aren’t they someone Liza-san and Nana-san knows?”
“These are not the real person desuwane. Although Raka-san can’t appraise the real from the fake, doppelgangers in this dungeon are dangerous and my instincts tell me so desuwa. Look at the weapons on their hands desuwane” (Karina points at the hidden spears on the dead Gulgapoya and Yuseku’s body)
“Ehh!” (Zena, surprised that the dead body are turning into a pool of milky-white substance)
“These are the leftover when a doppelganger is defeated. You helped me there Karina-dono” (Liza)
“You helped me too. We are equal now” (Karina)
“The impostors are defeated, so I inform” (Nana said after striking down both Gimasarua and Keriul with her greatsword, and they both turn to a white puddle)

“What have you done to our comrades!? Are you girls out of your mind!?” (Julberg)
““Julberg-shi”” (Karina and Zena)
“Another doppelganger, this I confirm” (Nana)
“After battling with Julberg-san at the Royal Capital, I can know that this one is not him” (Liza)
From there, Arisa, Lulu, Tama, Pochi, Sera, Hikaru, Mia, and Sistina appears from the shadow and starts reprimanding the Zena, Karina, Liza, and Nana. They demand the four girls to drop their weapons and follow them back to Satou for questioning.

“Stand down your weapons and wear this shackles on your hands and feet. We will bring you to Master for further questioning” (fake Arisa)
Liza, Nana, and lady Karina didn’t stand down their weapons. Karina looked a bit scared, but Zena is totally confused and was about to hand over her weapon to fake Tama and fake Pochi when lady Karina stop her.
“Although Raka can’t appraise the doppelganger from the real person, I can tell that Pochi and Tama over there are not the real ones. “ (Karina)
After saying that, the fakes start questioning whether it is Karina that is the fake one. This made Zena even more confused and she starts backing away from both groups. Two very quick laser-like attacks came straight at Zena from a dark corner. Zena tried evading it by floating up, but the attacks make a curve, homing into Zena. Liza came to the rescue by destroying the attack with her Dragon Spear, while Nana deflected another attack back with her reactive armour, only to explode mid air. The fake girls take the opportunity to strike at Zena and Karina. Karina’s silver armour and Raka’s scale shields prevent most of the attacks, but Karina decides to attack instead of protecting herself. Karina landed her twin mithril hammers square on the faces of fake Mia’s summons, Garuda and Behemoth, and swings them at fake Mia and fake Sera. Fake Mia got taken out immediately by a brutal hit and turn into a puddle, but fake Hikaru managed to protect fake Sera, and fake Sera use <Heal> on fake Hikaru and they are ready for battle again. Lulu fired two holy shell shots with her accelerated gun at Zena, but was successfully deflected by Nana and both fake Pochi and Tama received the holy shell shots that got wrapped in electric element after deflected, turning into two white puddles. Nana managed to neutralize fake Arisa’s <Dimension Cutter> aimed at Zena with her <Magic Break>, and proceed to slash at the fake girls with her greatsword, only for fake Arisa to <Short Warp> all of them to safety.
Liza dash towards the shadow, and from it, emerge two great dragons, Black Dragon Heiron and Heavenly Dragon Ten-chan.
“Heiron-sama, Tenryuu-sama” (Liza)
“We have come under Satou’s instruction to punish those who create trouble in this labyrinth” (Heiron and Ten-chan)
“I believe that both of you are doppelgangers based on our memory” (Liza)
“Hah, you will pay for your insolence with your life” (Heiron and Ten-chan)
Liza then starts fighting the two dragons with her Dragon Spear and Magic spear Douma Mk3, creating magical sparks when they clashed with the dragon claws and scales. Zena aids Liza, Nana, and Karina by buffing them with magic, but she don’t dare to take overt offensive action because most of them are people she knows, and she is dreadfully afraid of dragons.

Karina’s kicks and force art – Mega Punch managed to corner and turn fake Lulu into a whit puddle while she sustain a lot of attack from the fake girls. Nana uses her <Magic Break> and <Mana Syphon> nature magic to prevent Arisa from using <Short Warp> or strong magic offensive spells, then slash at her and the fake girls with her eighty <Magic Hand> equipped with magic sword each. Fake Hikaru block the attack with Claiomh Solais, and use her own nature magic <Flexible Shield> and <Flexible Sword>, and also cancel out Nana’s spells with <Magic Break>. Fake Sera heals any injured fake members and use her <Flashbang> and <Laser> light magic to attack Zena, only to be reflected back by Nana towards the fake girls.

Hero Shin and Demon Lord Shizuka appear from the shadow, and reprimanded the four girls from disobeying Satou. Hero Shin changed into his demon lord form, and equips himself with the holy sword and activates his unique skill <Master Wizard> and freezes the entire field with ice. Demon Lord Shizuka activates her unique skill to turn all the fakes into her familiar.
Liza, Zena, Karina, and Nana begin to experience difficulty to cast magic skill, as if mana is sucked out of the air itself. The fakes all still have their magic skills itact, clearly showing their allegiance. Karina uses her Karina Kick on fake Shin, and managed to connect the kick despite the magic nullity. This is because Karina uses her usual physical kick attack, and not her magic skill. Liza pierces the flying fake Shin’s body with her Dragon spear, while Nana replaces Liza’s position and accept the claws and beam attacks on her reactive shield, stopping them and reflecting the beams. Fake Shin is caught by surprise, and he quickly uses all the holy magic in his command to heal himself, and fake Sera helps him too. However, Dragon spear still pierce his body. Fake Arisa uses <Dimension Cutter>, all her dragon summons, and powerful elemental attacks such Firebolt, and seems to have attacks the four girls can remember, onto Liza and her spear. Fake Hikaru and fake Sera both wield light and holy spells to cut and slice down Liza, with Hikaru’s thirteen pieces of Claiomh Solais floating in the air and a physical strike from fake Hikaru herself. However, Liza never let go of her grip from her spears, and drives her spear deeper into fake Shin until his body cannot take it and turns into a white puddle. Before that happen, fake Shizuka transferred Shin’s EXP and skill points to herself, and she appears more powerful, both physically and also her magic power. Shizuka put up barriers around herself before Liza, now able to use magic skills, strike her with such force and speed that it shatters the hundreds of scale shield like glasses.

Fake Arisa <Short Warp> fake Shizuka away from the line of attack of Liza, but Liza’s spear can still reach fake Shizuka because Dragon tooth and bones pierce through barriers, and <Short Warp> still remains some residue of its barrier for a moment after warping away its target. Fake Hikaru goes in to help stop Liza with her multiple Claiomh Solais and flexible shields, and fake Arisa uses her <Dimenstinal Cutter at the location that would be Liza’s neck if she goes ina straight path. Fake Sera strike her laser attack at Karina and Zena, but Karina stop the attack with her hammer and Zena’s smooth silver helmet reflected thr beam away, hitting the fake Arisa. Fake Sera apologize and heals fake Arisa. Nana managed to handle the attacks from the fake dragons smoothly, and her shining shield not only reflect the laser-like almost undodgeable attacks of the dragons, but also the claws and tail attacks fail to put a scratch into her shield.

Due to that lapse in concentration from the fake girls, Liza manages to concentrate her attacks onto Fake Hikaru. Fake Julberg and fake Sistina seems to perish in the crossfire attacks. Liza spear tip meet with Fake Hikaru’s sword tip and they both appear to be on a balance, with neither side moving. But the effect of Dragon tooth and bones pierces everything starts kicking in, and splintered Claiomh Solais into pieces before piercing fake Hikaru’s heart, and turn her into a white puddle.

Karina now uses <Ground Shrink> and <Flash Step> to close in onto fake Sera and swings her hammer at her. Fake Sera equipped her staff and places Magic Edge on it together with Light Shields and Holy Shields to take the blows. However, Karina’s hammer has too much weight behind the attack and brake all the shields and staff of fake Sera. Fake Arisa tried to back fake Sera up by <Short Wapr> and use <Dimensional Cutter> on the arm of Karina. Raka managed to slow down the <Dimensional Cutter> attack of fake Arisa significantly and Karina landed her attack on fake Sera before she can be warped away. By the time she is warp away, her arms are broken and body battered, and right before she can heal herself, Karina jumped right into the attack again with <Karina Kick> skill and turn fake Sera into a white puddle this time. Fake Arisa’s <Dimensional Cutter did reach Karina after passing though hurdles of scale shields from Raka and her silver armour, and sliced and gouge quite deep into her flesh before dissipating. But with Karina’s <Self Heal> skill, Karina managed to stop the bleeding and be right back into battle, with only her armour chipped. Even her armour’s damage is slowly recovering.

“You cheaters! Using your equipment like this to overpower us” (fake Arisa)
“You should have one too if you are the real Arisa” (Liza)
Liza close in on fake Arisa with <Ground Shrink> and <Flash Step> after defeating fake Hikaru, and pierce right trough her before she can warp away, turning herinto a white puddle in the air. All while killing of the fakes, fake Shizuka absorbs their EXP and skills through <Transfer> after familiarization of them.

At Nana’s side, she utilize her eighty <Magic Hands> equipped with miscellaneous magic swords armed with <Magic Edge> and <Vibrating> given by Satou in her [Dimensional bag] and [Throne] to hack away at the dragon trapped in a close space. The dragons managed to push Nana’s back to a wall and take their turns to batter away at Nana’s scale and magical shields, and damaged her large golden shield. They also melt the surroundings with their breath attack to avoid getting reflected back at them, and use the heat and environment damage to get at her.

Liza decides to aid Nana, and Karina is tasked with bringing down fake Shizuka. Zena is still in confused on who to help currently, unable to understand the carnage. The current fake Shizuka is so strong after absorbing all the EXP and skills from the almost dead fakes, that she can withstand Karina’s hammer barehanded. Liza uses <Ground Shrink>, <Flash Step>, and her golden suit’s Booster on to accelerate at impossible speed and crash onto the side of fake Heiron, trying to pierce both fake Heiron and fake Ten-chan together at their blind spot. This pierce that suppose to have enough power to penetrate both the dragons and break open the wall to get to the other side of the dungeon was stopped by a flexible shield, stretching it to the max until it touches and pierces fake Heiron’s skin a little. The person who cast it reveals itself. He smiles at the girls gestured them. The girls all got shocked, especially Zena. This is because the big boss has appeared.

“What are you doing Liza? I thought you are my right hand, but you killed Arisa, Hikaru, Lulu, Sena, Sistina, and even little Mia, Tama, and Pochi” (fake Satou)
“You girls are cold-blooded murderer. They even cut down a knight that is protecting Sistina, and all the elven people” (fake Shizuka)
“No, it’s not like that. They decide to attack first, so we are only defending our selves. Please trust us Satou-sama.” (Zena)
“That doesn’t mean you should kill them right? What have I been teaching you all this while?” (fake Satou)
“Do not waver Zena, Karina, and Nana. We know who are the real ones and the fakes. You have been briefed regarding the doppelgangers right? They can take on the appearance of anyone in your memory” (Liza)

With that speech, a golden beam strike and pierce Liza’s shoulder and exit at the back, missing her heart by an inch due to last minute movement. Liza’s terminal defence on her golden armour was invoked and the powerful shield installed automatically attempt to reject the beam attack, but ultimately failed to stop it, only offering a time delay by resisting it for split second and allow Liza to move her heart out of the way. Liza floated and hit the wall after the attack, and slouches down to the ground. Fake Satou use the opportunity to use <Unit Arrangement> and lands a powerful kick at Liza’s throat, trying to sever her head.

Karina is so shocked, that she instantly forgot all her respect for Satou and charge right at fake Satou with <Karina Kick>. The sliding movement of the skill is quite comical, accompanied by the speed and agility of Karina, is very deadly. However, fake Satou just grip the ankle of her right foot, and begin thrashing her left and right without mercy. After thrashing about twenty three times in quick succession, Nana have to give up her position to the dragons and come to the aid of Liza and Karina. The golden beam was fired again, accompanied by two laser-like breaths by the fake dragons. The golden beam pierce right through Nana’s scratched reactive armour, right through her golden armour and exit at the back of her body. The attack grazed her heart and broken her power core. Twin dragon attacks hit her armour squarely and singed her skin, pieces of golden armour crumbled and revealed huge burnt marks on her back and shoulder. Blood gushed out of her mouth ash she still struggles to move, but fell on the floor, crawling to the position where Liza and Karina are. Fake Shizuka come in and crush her head into the ground with her feet, Nana’s terminal defence has long since activated and provided all its power into stopping the golden beam, which it failed, and failed to prevent the follow-up attacks.

Zena then saw the figure coming out from darkness. She instinctively fears it. She has been a pious person and prays to the Gods, but this is her first time seeing one in person. Fake God Zaikuon in its battle form during the battle in Weasel Empire capital is currently in Dejima labyrinth. Fake Satou continues swinging and smashing Karina on the walls and the floor of the labyrinth while laughing away. Looks like the doppelgangers really managed to feed on the strong memories the girls have during their journey.
“No way. No way. Satou wouldn’t allow these killings. Liza, Nana, Karina, they bleed. The others also bleed, but they turn to white puddle after some time. Is it not due to the Dragon Spear? Then what have I done so far?” (Zena)

Zena cast her <Heal> onto Liza, who is lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Liza barely survives by using her Dragon Spear to block the kick from fake Satou, and end up getting her right wrist snap in. She tried to use <Heal> and <Self Heal> on herself, but it is insufficient for her large wounds. Zena’s heal managed to fix most of the major injuries. Liza then continues to silently recuperate the strength in her limbs. Zena thought her healing can no longer reach Liza, and cast her <Heal> on Nana, while continue to avoid the attacks of fake Heiron and fake Ten-chan. Fake Shizuka feels satisfied after squashing Nana’s head into a hole in the ground, and begins utilizing her flight and long-range attack skills she earned from converting the EXP and skills from the almost dead fakes that became her familiars. She begins her ritual to turn fake Satou and fake God Zaikuon into her familiar. Zena send one of her flying Stilettos with lightning element equipped flying at the fake Shizuka when she is performing the familiarization ritual, piercing her heart, but fake Satou <Heal> fake Shizuka immediately. The two dragons chase and attack Zena and her six Stilettos. Zena also cast <Heal> on Nana’s body, refusing to give in to despair and as a respect for her fallen comrade. Zena couldn’t help Karina as long as fake Satou didn’t let go of Karina. Karina’s armour protected most of the damage, but they have started to accumulate and Karina is seriously injured from all the physical trashing around from the fake Satou that has herculean strength.

Fake Satou swings Karina with full force at Zena’s direction, making them collide at mid-air. Zena gladly accepts it to save her friend she knows since their encounter in Selbira. The impact sends them going near the wall, and Zena cast <Heal> and <Air Cushion>, <Air Shield>, <Aqua Shield> onto themselves to brace for impact. Satou uses <Unit Arrangement> to arrive at the point where Zena and Karina will crash at the wall, with his Divine Sword ready above his head. Zena call out to one of the floating stilettos to use its final power <Appease> and <Tempest> to defeat the fake Satou, while preparing the other stilettos to defend against Satou’s attack.

“You think you can stop me with what I have granted to you, you ungrateful knight? Kuhahaha, I laugh at your feeble attempt” (fake Satou)
Satou slash through her Air Shield, Aqua Shield, all her remaining stilettos, her silver armour and even the activated terminal defense, and she lose all sensation on the left side of her body, fell off from the sky and hit the ground full force even after activating <Air Cushion>. Zena shielded Karina from fake Satou’s attack with her body, losing a large portion of the left side of her body. Zena cushion their fall with her body that <Air Cushion> fail to soften up, as fake Satou gave a powerful kick after slashing Zena through.
Nana has awakened but immobilized, and instructed her [Throne] to go towards Zena and Karina to protect them, because sure enough fake God Zaikuon launch another of its <Divine Beam> attack at the fallen girls. The absolute defense of the [Throne] system couldn’t block the full force of the <Divine Beam>, and just managed to deflect the attack to the side, exhausting all of its energy and damaging its armour. Sure of his victory, fake Satou begin berating the girls.

“You all are just pieces of trash, not worthy of even being the sole of my foot to step on as I rise in power and reach the Gods.” (fake Satou)
“Take that back. Don’t ever utter such words with that body of yours” (Liza)
“You all are just pieces of ..!?” (fake Satou)
Liza has already charged forward using all her might and ability, sacrificing some of her life force to produce an edge to reach even the Gods for the real Satou’s sake. She knew all along that Satou and the Gods were existence beyond her reach. But if only just for a glimpse of that power to reach the Gods or Satou, she hone her entire life and would trade her life for that short burst of energy to reach her master’s feet, it is a price she gladly pay.
“DIE!!!” (Liza)
Blue light envelope Liza’s body and she move beyond the speed a normal vision can see. Fake Satou get flustered, and moves out of the way of Liza’s attack. Fake Shizuka became its first victim, as fake Satou move near the body of Nana with <Unit Arrangement> to make use of it as a shield, and Shizuka was in the line of fire. Nana’s <Magic Hands> managed to swing her greatsword with precise movement to prevent fake Satou from taking her hostage, using up the last of her powers from her broken power core. The other two fake dragons became the second and third victims, ending up getting the line of fire from Liza’s unstoppable speed that continue to eat away at her life force as she exerts herself to the fullest to reach the fake Satou and fake God Zaikuon. Fake Greater Demon Wagahai jumped out of the shadows to try take Zena as hostage, but Karina deliver her her <Mega Punch> that drvies the greater demon away, while fake Sakuramochi Greater Demon jumped into Liza’s line of fire to absorb her into his round belly and turn her into his food. The Dragon spear can penetrate any shields or barrier, and fake Sakuramochi greater demon only managed to slow down Liza by a little, which fake Satou tried to utilize to get to Karina to take her hostage. Liza pierce through fake God Zaikuon’s left side torso that happen t be in the way with her Dragon Spear.

Karina gave her all and produce the strongest Force Art- <Mega Punch> she can muster. Although fake Satou uses <Unit Arrangement> to get behind Karina and avoided the frontal attack, the <Mega Punch> attack actually came to the back of Karina, homing onto fake Satou. Fake Satou loses his concentration and got pushed back by the attack, and Liza managed to catch-up to fake Satou and pointed Dragon Spear right at him. Fake Satou raise his Divine Sword and point its tip at the approaching Dragon Spear. Both weapons meet, apparently equal in strength and Satou neutralize Liza’s momentum. But Liza’s momentum was great, and her golden armour and her skills help push her forward and managed to push fake Satou back. Both weapons manage to withstand the absurd power of their owner, but fake Satou begin pouring divinity into his Divine Sword, with Divine Edge forming. Dragon Spear specializes in breaking barriers and piercing hard objects, it couldn’t withstand continuous compression force of such magnitude and starts to crack under the pressure.

After several moments of battle back and forth with their weapons, fake Satou manage to split the Dragon Spear’s head into two pieces right at the centre. Fake Satou wanted to slice off Liza’s arm along with the spear, but Liza sacrifice the Dragon spear by changing its trajectory and raise Magic Spear Douma Mk3 equipped with Magic Edge that rotates the entire spear and aim it at fake Satou’s neck, hoping to pierce it. Fake Satou however, uses his great reflex to avoid it last minute, avoiding injury. Fake Satou landed a punch into Liza’s chest and most of her golden armour crumble from that attack.

Another figure appear to warp in, and Liza is in despair because she has already used up her trump card to challenge the fake Satou, and with fake God Zaikuon, another enemy would just add salt to her wounds. There is a red line across the neck of fake Satou, and a trace of blood can be seen before it is healed with <Auto Recovery>. Liza recalled the time in Solitary Island Palace, few days before. She has also challenged Dejima Islands’ Phantasmal Labyrinth, and has faced a fake Satou before. Although Dopplegangers are suppose to have only a fraction of the original’s power, fake Satou of that time gave her a good trashing without any means to defend herself. For Liza, who aspires to be Satou’s right hand and his guard, this is a grave wound to her pride. Therefore, she made a promise to herself that she would catch up with Satou and be on the same plane with him in terms of fighting, even if it is for only a moment, or even if it cost her life. She also went and pleaded with Satou before she come here to avoid interfering as much as possible, even if she get injured, because she wants to train her mind, body, and soul to the fullest extent. However, she is about to break her promise, as she can’t reach her highest peak if she were to die now. But her worst nightmare didn’t come to past, as the voice she has been waiting for has finally arrive.


Fake Satou became unnerved when he sees the real Satou, probably being reminded that its existence is just temporary and a mere copy of the original.
“I’m sorry for my tardiness. Everything is alright now” (Satou)
Satou appeared, and said to Liza.
“Your spear definitely reached me, so leave the rest to me” (Satou)
“You too Nana, Zena, Karina. All of you have definitely reached me, so trust me and leave it to me” (Satou)
The girls all sighed in relief and Satou was about to use <Unit Arrangement> but the girls implored to Satou to allow them to be with him till the end. Satou then reluctantly agreed, in turn trusting the girls with their capability to keep themselves safe.

Satou healed and moved them to the farthest end of the dungeon lower level entrance with <Unit Arrangement>. Seems like fake Satou keep his original manners, while fake God Zaikuon has revived and prepared sufficient fake apostles. They all rushed at Satou, and Satou quickly retrieve the Dragon Divine Blade from his Storage to perform <Flash Slash> at the fake apostles. Fake God Zaikuon employed 7 layers of his <Divine Protection> shell around his body and perform a long-range punch, firing <Divine Beam> at the occupied Satou.

Satou wants to quickly finish the fight by readying his <Mythology Down> chantlessly. However, fake Satou slashed at Satou from behind, saying
“Don’t think you can get away with this, because I’m you. I know you inside out”. Satou was slashed and seemed to ‘died’ from the attack, only to reveal that it is doll Satou and actual Satou attack the fake Satou with his Divine sword coated with Divine Edge, which fake Satou barely parried.

God Zaikoun takes the opportunity to attack the girls with his <Divine Beam>.
Satou quickly use <Aport> chantlessly to shift the [Black Crystal] from the black Space Kaijuu in the line of fire while exchanging sword blows with fake Satou. Fake Satou tried to steal the [Black Crystal] with his own Storage, but Satou cleverly manipulate the [Black Crystal] location with multiple <Aport> at the line of fire, and somehow it managed to absorb the heavy Divine-based attack.

Satou then starts focusing on defeating the fake Satou, by first moving quickly with <Flash Step>, <Ground Srink>, then finally <Unit Arrangement>. The fighting progress so quickly that 1 vs 1 Satou turns to 2 vs 2, then 4 vs 4, then 8 vs 8, 16 vs 16, 32 vs 32, and finally 64 vs 64 against the fake Satou. The fight was so fast that it began to blur and cannot be followed even with trained eyes like Liza. They both finally managed to penetrate each other’s defense, with fake Satou piercing what appeared to be an attack pod unit, while Satou penetrated fake Satou’s flexible shield and a flexible sword from Satou shot through and pierce fake Satou right through the heart. Instantly, all 64 of Satou and fake Satou merged and just one of each remained.
“You cheating bastard!” (shouted fake Satou)
“I just came prepared” (refuted satou)
Fake Satou chantlessly use <Heal> on himself, which Satou instantly capitalize and slash fake Satou into half, then minces it into pieces mid-air.Fake God Zaikuon attempted to use his Divine-based attacks on Satou to interfere the battle, but Liza uses her Dragon Spear to attempt to pierce fake God Zaikuon at the heart, only to fail due to the 7 Holy Shells protecting God Zaikuon. Her dragon spear landed short and pierces God Zaikuon at the back of the knee. Fake God Zaikuon wailed and delivered a heavy punch at Liza, which blow her back into the rocks and dislodge the dragon spear. With the Holy Shell gone, the girls’ attacks begin to reach fake God Zaikuon. Fake God Zaikuon receive a holy greatsword attack filled with Magic Edge on its head, while Zena buffed all her 7 floating Stilettos with all element mastery, and direct them to attack fake God Zaikuon continuously, while preparing her Air magic and <Sky Drive> to deal a direct assault at the fake god. Karina uses her signature kick and punches, and luckily, the fake god’s divine body didn’t corrode lady Karina’s limbs. Is it due to her moves are from skills? It’s not clear how it works but it is a fortunate turn of event, Raka may know something about this. Lady Karina’s force art - <Mega Punch> hits the face of the fake god, and Zena’s furious launch and sword attack on its chest only minorly pierce the body before deflecting her just as strong as she comes right back at the wall. From my appraisal status, the fake god’s HP was only reduced a little before becoming full again.

Thanks to the girls’ timely intervention, fake Satou was defeated. Fake God Zaikuon noticed that it is cornered, so in a desperate attempt, it illuminates the room with Holy light that seers the eyes. With my <Light Intensity Adjustment> skill, Satou can barely see what the fake God Zaikuon is attempting. It invoked the “Mass Revival” spell in exchange for a portion of its divinity. Satou used <Ground Shrink> and <Flash Step> to get close to fake God Zaikuon, only to be stopped by the fake apostles. Satou quickly slash them to make way to God Zaikuon. All the remaining fake apostles sacrifice their own body to buy time for fake God Zaikuon to complete his ritual. They imploded their bodies around fake God Zaikuon, with their material that reached the fake god merged with him, while those that reached for me will have the same effect as <Annihilation>, and the Divine Sword with Divine Edge was slightly chipped from the attack. Like this, even <Unit Arrangement> is rendered useless in getting near fake God Zaikuon. Satou uses 100,000 <Laser> light magic and <Convergence> skill to shine a focused beam of light towards fake God Zaikuon but instead it became mana source for it, so Satou promptly stop it. Satou quickly operate his mana to shoot the anti-god spell, Mythology Down at the fake God Zaikuon, but one after another, the apostles imploded in the line of fire of Satou’s spell that it slowed down the spell from reaching the fake god significantly. After a moment, bright holy light shone down on all the location where the Doppelgangers were defeated. All of a sudden, the tables are turned and all the fakes are now in full health and back in full force, except for fake God Zaikuon. Fake God Zaikuon put its remainder strength into summoning apostles supports and cast 3 layers of Holy Shield, then fell into meditative state, probably to gather divinity. Fake Satou quickly summon Mythology Eater Platinum Wolf to consume Satou’s Mythology Down that got slowed down significantly.

The fakes characters all started anew, and round two begins. Satou also spotted a new doppelganger among them, taking the form of Aze. These doppelgangers really know how to disrupt their opponent’s psychology, thought Satou. Satou this time retrieve many items from his inventory. He goes alone, and contacts the other four girls through <Tactic Talk> that he will take on this battle alone for the time being, and come to back him up when the time is right, and to pick off stragglers from the group of fake characters, due to the danger they may pose.

Satou instantly use <Laser> and attack all the fakes, which fake Satou contered by producing opaque <Flexible Shield> of his own and block all the laser attack aimed at all the fakes. Fake God Zaikuon fired his cheat-like <Divine Beam> that has so much power in its attack, it’s an overkill, and has speed faster than laser light, so it’s near impossible to avoid by the naked eye. Satou managed to barely avoid it using his <Ground Shrink>, <Flash Step>, <Flickering Movement> and <Sky Drive>, coupled with his high agility and speed, small and light body. Fake God Zaikuon seems to have reached its limit, and leave the remaining battle to the summoned apostles.

Fake Satou with all the doppelgangers begin pouring their best attacks one after another, but neither of them can reach Satou. Shizuka execute her ritual to familiarize all the doppelgangers again. Fake Arisa use her Space magic and <Mythology Down> spell to bring down Satou while berating him about mistreating little girls. Her <Mythology Down> spell can’t fire properly due to insufficient mana.

Satou found some spell suitable to deal with such extreme capability group such as the doppelgangers. Satou split into clones, each for every one of the doppelgangers, and start moving towards each of them. The clones each swings real casted Divine Sword from Satou’s inventory, and with Divine Edge activated, managed to pierce through some of them directly, while those that manage to resist will be pierced by the Divine Sword that has been transported with Space magic and <Aport Object> spell. All the doppelgangers except fake Satou and fake God Zaikuon have difficulty with this attack that use divine power. Fake Arisa <Short Warp> every endangered doppelganger members away, but Satou produce an item that cancels fake Arisa’s ability to use any form of Space magic, something that even fake Shin’s <Master Wizard> unique skill cannot cancel out. Fake Tama attempt to hide in the shadow and strike at Satou’s blind spot, only to be struck down by Nana’s greatsword that she controlled using her <Magic Hand>. Satou have proper countermeasure against fake Tama, but he’s being considerate and thanked Nana. Fake Shizuka is having great trouble avoiding Satou’s clone sword attack, and got stabbed when Satou’s clone use <Aport Object> together with Space magic to drive the sword through her. Before she perish, she convert all the EXP and skills from herself and everyone connected to her through familiarization, including fake God Zaikuon, and pass it to the last remaining survivor, fake Satou. All the other doppelgangers have turn to white puddles, and only fake Satou remain standing. His muscles have bulked up and look beefy, unlike the original. Satou tried to appraise fake Satou, but ends up getting Level: Unknown? and Skills: Unknown?

“I can feel unlimited power coursing through me. I feel like I can do anything now. I can even escape this damned place now. I’m no longer bound to this labyrinth. I’m a God now, and I’m even stronger than the original me. I feel like I can crush him like insect he is” (fake Satou)

Fake Satou launch golden beams laced with Divine energy from the tip of his finger as he moves around the space in the dungeon with <Unit Arrangement>. All of Satou’s clones perish one by one as they tried to run and hide with <Unit Arrangement>, but got detected and eliminated by the much faster fake Satou. Each and every Satou’s location in fake Satou’s Map display was exposed and after eliminating all the Satous, the last one remaining Satou puts up a good fight with fake Satou, fighting with their sword imbued with Divine Edge. But Satou got struck down with two golden beams from the eyes of the fake Satou. Fake Satou proceed to eliminate the Liza, Zena, Nana, and Karina. They can’t even offer any resistance to the current fake Satou and got struck down in a single hit each. Confident with his victory and newfound powers, he thought of claiming what Satou owned as his, and proceed to use <Unit Arrangement> to get out of the labyrinth, and get to the Desert subspace before entering the Solitary Island Palace that got guarded by very powerful barrier that fake Satou couldn’t break.

While all that is happening, Satou has already escaped to his Orbital Satellite, and leave behind his clones to provide some resistance to fake Satou so he can transport the girls out of the labyrinth. He is forced to take this approach because fake Satou has exceeded the power where he can safely engage without worries, and he can’t risk having the girls within the sight of fake Satou, and may end up as hostage or get caught in the crossfire. Satou has marked fake Satou, so he can monitor his movement safely. Satou refrained from using <Clairhearing> or <Clairvoyance> to avoid detection and risk exposing his current location to fake Satou.

Satou has prepared the Solitary Island Palace for any possible intruders earlier, even Gods. This caused the fake Satou that was created with Liza’s memory to not have any of Satou’s ideals from an hour ago. During that one-hour period of time, Satou has placed as many magic traps and even produce and automation system to make more traps with Satou’s Holy Sword battery supply while he’s away. Satou prepared some traps that utilize his supplied Divine magic to attack the internals of any intruders that emerge in Desert subspace and Solitary Island Palace.

When fake Satou arrived at the Desert subspace, the detection system detected the intruder, and set off the traps there. All kinds of weapons, lasers, nails and needles, curses and hexes are thrown towards fake Satou. Even though he sets up many layers of defensive shells and space barrier onto himself, the area itself has space magic canceller when the intruder alarm set off, destroying some of the barriers that fake Satou has setup around himself. The area was setup to prevent the intruder from escaping, and even <Unit Arrangement> function is a bit fuzzy and not easily accessed when all types of magic interfere with it and the attacks came right at fake Satou, giving him no time to look away for a second. The chains of attack continue for almost 30 minutes, with no sign of stopping because there are machines that keeps making new traps and some machine that continue attacking intruders without stop as long as they are present, and many contraptions and spells that prevents intruders from escaping from the Desert subspace. This means that unless the person is as capable as Satou, they would end up getting attack until the power supply totally exhausted, or the equipment destroyed. Both these options are almost non-existent unless that person is God or as capable as Satou and have the Desert subspace blueprint. Fake Satou tried using his knowledge as Satou to try to disarm the traps that has managed to prevent him from using <Unit Arrangement> to escape out back. However, in his despair, all the tools have been relocated, and he can’t find any of them to destroy, and the tools continue firing at fake Satou. Fake Satou tried to emulate his aura to be similar to the real Satou, but the system still continue to detect him. Fake Satou begin to get furious as to why the system can still detect him as an intruder, and not welcome him like the real one should receive.

Fake Satou begin firing off attacks everywhere, as his tension has risen and he has nowhere to release his anger. Fake Satou continue to get pounded with attacks all over him without end for the past one hour, and it still continues to do so. Fake Satou fires off multiple <Divine Beam> in random direction, and also multiple <Mythology Down>, <Explosion>, and <Annihilation> magic all over the place in order to take down the traps. However, Satou anticipated this and the traps at the beginning only warp to random places when they detect danger, but later Satou manually move them with <Unit Arrangement> when fake Satou begin to fire his attack around in quick succession and saturated the Desert subspace with attacks. Satou hopes that the fake Satou would exhaust his power quicker because the barrier holding Desert subspace together is getting weaker as the attacks continues. After three hours, fake Satou falls to the ground, shooting every forms of attack at every direction has taken its toll on fake Satou’s patience and his mana supply. The Desert subspace is made to prevent any mana regeneration for those deemed as intruder.

When he tried to forcefully access the Solitary Island Palace and use the password he remember, it has been changed and the system release more traps that attack fake Satou. All forms of elemental and storms of attacks were released on fake Satou. The multiple elemental stones Satou made at the Orbital Sattelite is used to install these traps. 4096 attack pods made by Satou was released by the gate’s AI and several Raka’s AI controlled the attack pods together to attack fake Satou in quick succession and relocate, almost like mosquitoes that strike at the victim but never land on them, and is very difficult to hit when they are flying around. Fake Satou couldn’t hold it in and starts summoning red ember stones from the sky. He uses <Summon Meteor> to hopefully destroy the attack pods that continuously swarm around him. The elemental hits prevented his concentration of using  <Unit Arrangement>, and the space magic canceller prevented him from using <Warp> or <Teleport>, so fake Satou only option is to destroy everything without the option to move around. Satou even remotely use his Storage to store some of fake Satou’s large beam attack to reduce the burden on the Desert subspace barrier. The battle at Desert subspace for fake Satou continued until all the attack pods has been shot down with multiple magic attacks. Satou can continue to move the attack pods with his <Unit Arrangement> indefinitely, but he doesn’t want to alert fake Satou of his presence as fake Satou assumed Satou has been eliminated.

For courtesy sake, Satou stopped toying with fake Satou and appeared in front of him with <Unit Arrangement>. Fake Satou’s face distorted greatly with surprise and anger.

“DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!” (fake Satou)
Fake Satou cast Meteor Shower with all his remaining mana in the Desert subspace. Satou cast 10000 <Laser> light magic and <Convergence> skill to kill the summoned Mythological Eater Platinum Wolf of fake Satou, then proceed to cast and use both converged laser and Mythology Down onto the fake Satou. Although his level is much higher than that of Satou, the Mythology Down ignores most part of the flexible shields and defenses setup by the fake Satou. Fake satou used <Unit Arrangement> to avoid the incoming attack, but Satou has anticipated it, and he guessed the few possible places that fake Satou may go, and to narrow down the potential target with <Parallel Thought>. Satou use <Unit Arrangement> to transport his <Mythology Down> attack to one of the possible location of fake Satou, while shooting another <Mythology Down> at another location.
“AHAHAHA! YOU MISSED BIG TIME! GUESS YOU ARE JUST AN IDIOT NOW THAT MY LEVEL IS MUCH HIGHER THAN YOU, DUMBASS!” (fake Satou)
Satou recalculate again all possible trajectory fake Satou may take, and miss again, and now Satou has 2 <Mythology Down> spells hold by him.
“YOU THINK IT IS ONLY YOU WITH PARALLEL THOUGHT? ONLY YOU ARE SPECIAL? THINK AGAIN AHAHAHA!!” (fake Satou)
Satou is really pressed for time. Then he realized one thing. The safety of his girls, and the most vulnerable among them now is but one.
(Aze’s POV)
Aze is busy analyzing her data in the World Tree and formatting any sector or partition that has grown corrupted over the many million of years. Suddenly an intruder enters her reception hall. She sees two Satous facing off against each other. Both of them clash with their swords, and sparks were flying. Then two huge balls of everflame suddenly appear and slam onto one of the Satou, sending him crashing onto the floor below. What is happening? Why is Satou in the Boruenan Forest at this time and why there is two Satous? I was so worried, but the standing Satou assured me that everything is all right. He said
“I will explain everything to you later, there is not much time for now” and abruptly leave the place with the burned body of another Satou, together with the pieces of woods and stones that have caught fire. After the abrupt leave, I sank back to my chair and sweat cold sweat all over my body. I was really worried, as I have just glanced across an old record about the existence of Doppelgangers, beings that replicate others based on the memory of their victim, and they can’t be differentiated compare to the original and can have very similar capabilities and memories, making them indistinguishable. They have been used during the War of Gods, but the skills reproduced are limited to the memory of its victim and also divinity-based skills tend to be on the weaker side.
Is the real Satou the one that won the battle? My heart sinks into oblivion if the otherwise happens. Please let the real Satou be safe.

(Satou’s POV)
I am thinking what is the place the fake Satou would appear when he wants to harm my girl, and the most likely place is the Boruenan Forest reception hall of Aze. It is the place where I will go when I usually meet her, and she is always at her desk. Without checking <World Map>, I use [Unit Arrangement] on myself and go to the Boruenan Forest reception hall while I swing my Divine Sword in the direction I think my doppelganger will most likely swing down to strike Aze.

Satou was right and he is just nanoseconds ahead of the doppelganger, and the doppelganger correctly readjust his wrist to intercept Satou’s Divine Sword that aims to cut off the doppelganger’s sword arm. Both the Divine Swords coated with Divine Edge clashed together and many sparks arched from them.

The match has been decided in that clash, as I have activated <Unit Arrangement> at almost the same instant I come to Boruenan Forest and the two <Mythological Down> spells that missed their target earlier came hurtling in and slam onto the doppelganger’s body, crashing it into the ground and into the floor below. Consider it a twist of fate, it was lucky that my doppelganger’s body is strong enough to take two of the anti-god spells head on before crumbling, or else the damage might extend until to the base of the World Tree.

I saw Aze in her special room, which is unusual for her, and luckily that she was there, so she doesn’t suffer any collateral damage. I felt really thankful that luck is on my side. I told her I would explain everything to her later, because there is still so much to do. I promise to myself that I will cook her favourite dishes and comfort her worry heart when I return, but there is something I must do first. I use <Magic Hand> to quickly scoop up the burning body of the doppelganger and also all the burning rubbles from the scene and stow them away in my Storage. After that, I use <Unit Arrangement> and return back to the Desert subspace.

This doppelganger can even afford an evil smile on his face before he is struck down, which really strike my nerves. He reminded me of one of my boss when I was working in an indie gaming software company. Trying to gain favour with the financial backers, he always takes in suggestions that are known to lead to destruction of the game, and reject the opinions of the development team. After the features has been implemented, and the weakness of the game is known apparently, he will put the blame on the development team and leave the mess for me and my team to take care off, while he continues to have fun time with our financial backers and never care to manage or provide input for the team. This doppelganger of me just leaves a very terrible mess even after his death, which is really vexing. Let’s do this and quickly get over with.

I change to my Nanashi armour, then proceed to jump up to the sky with <Sky Drive>, <Aerial Boost> and <Ground Shrink>. The entire sky in the Desert subspace is filled with falling brimstones that are close enough to reach without the need of [Unit Arrangement]. I activated my Storage to expand its entrance as large as possible, then I get my casted Holy Sword that is focused on hardness and sharpness similar to Durandal out from my Strorage. I place my Storage on the location with the thickest concentration of brimstone from the <Meteor Shower> casted by my doppelganger, while I continuously strike and change the trajectory of as many of those nearby to enter my Storage before they reach the ground. The amount is too huge for me to handle, so many of them fell on the Desert subspace ground. The numbers of brimstones in my Storage keep rising astronomically as I continue to hit them to reduce their numbers.

Satou continuously hit while he looks like teleporting to as many of the brimstones and either smash them or hit them to the Storage. From normal view, Satou seems to be split into 512 beings in the sky, hitting away at the falling brimstones, with a black portal taking in the seemingly endless brimstones.
The remaining brimstones begin smashing the physical form of the Desert subspace to smithereens and begin affecting the barriers surrounding the Desert subspace.

Goblin Princess Yuika have already set up a proper barrier before this for the Desert subspace, and have since reinforced it to have 3 layers of isolated barrier with self-repair since the incident with <White Inferno>. However, this attack is too concentrated and contains too much firepower that it begin to damage the surrounding barrier. Satou use his <Gravity> magic and <Aport> object together with his swordsmanship to remove tens of thousands of those falling brimstones every split seconds, and the rain of brimstones seems to continue on. Some large size ones begins to appear, and they are as large as a mini moon. Satou’s Storage can’t fit the brimstones of that size, so he breaks them into smaller ones using large scale spells like <Annihilation>, <Explosion>, or the anti-god spell <Mythology Down>. Once out of mana, Satou will recharge his mana with the casted holy sword battery in his storage.

The barriers surrounding the Desert subspace was unable to repair itself quick enough due to the constant damage it sustain from the brimstones, and holes begin forming and some brimstones made it out from he Desert subspace. The brimstones appear on the sky of the Royal Capital of Shiga kingdom, and begin to cause panic and confusion among the populace. Satou’s Orbital Satellite in space detected the falling brimstones in the airspace of the Royal Capital and thus begins its operation of bombarding them with lasers. 4096 interceptor drones were launched from the Orbital Satellite and quickly made short work of the falling brimstones that escaped the Desert subspace. The AI of the Orbital Satellite was set by Satou earlier to monitor the planet’s stratosphere and space for any strange activity and to proceed to destroy any threat. The sky of the Royal Capital was painted in colour streaks of rainbow, similar to an event native to the Poles back in Satou’s homeworld. The remaining pieces of the brimstones are eventually destroyed as they enter the planet’s atmosphere and get burned up due to friction with the air. Some still managed to reach the planet’s surface and caused some damage to the properties, but casualties are minimum.


Due to the spamming of <Meteor Shower> skill from the defeated fake Satou, the rain of meteors continued on for almost an hour before it subside. Satou fell to the ground exhausted after meteor shower is over, exhausted mentally and physically, with all his mana from his body and the ones in his battery of holy swords depleted.

“This is the first time I undergo such harsh training since I arrive at this world. I need to be careful with Dejima the Phantasmal Labyrinth and what kind of memories the girls have of me.” (Satou)
“Oops, time to go meet Aze and do some explanation” (Satou)

That day, Aze, Lua, Jia, and the rest of the elves in Boruenan asked Satou to do seiza and explain the reason that Boruenan Forest’s World Tree is under attack.

Compatibility is important during training, as Liza, Zena, Nana, and Lady Karina easily defeat the monsters located deeper in the dungeon. If even mid-level monster can provide a real challenge even harder than Demon Lords and during the crisis with the Gods, then indeed it has this dungeon may be one of the toughest one can take if one has memory of something absurd. Hmm, what give the girls such memory I wonder.

That night, I have dinner with the girls at the Boruenan Forest. I prepared Aze’s favourite, sweet curry dish, pudding, omelet rice, hamburg steak, and crepes. Ok, let’s cut down a bit next time or I might accidentally turn Boruenan Forest high elf queen into a glutton. When I check up on the girls, Liza level rose from 78 to 80, Nana rose from level 77 to level 79, Zena rose from level 50 to level 55, and Lady Karina rose from level 52 to level 56. I told them to rest longer for today, and they go to bed looking tired.

While thinking about that, before Satou came to Dejima labyrinth, in Blue Territory
