Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

At the bright and upbeat declaration of their sister, Jei nodded and continued. She no longer spoke but used [Sisters for a lifetime].

'Then we will perform our awakenings tomorrow together with our plan for Tsugumi.'

'Tomorrow?' x2

While they lived together Jei would sometimes see the future and give vague instructions to her sisters and Hiro. Each time drained her before Hiro returned. But these past few days Jade used it much more liberally.

'Yes, tomorrow. Before the day ends a dragon will appear with Gilthunder Gonzales chasing after it.'

Hearing the name of a Starfall husband Raylene grew tense. 'Sister, why is a husband of Starfall here? Is Rhyne with them?! Do we need to run? This is Partisan Prince Dylan's stronghold!'

'Lene, let Jei finish, you know how the Gracyeanor sees visions. They are not able to see everything, just a few seconds.' Vanessa who knew the burden and curse of knowing the future asked the blue-haired empress to calm down.

Jade eventually continued. 'Nessa is right, I see a few seconds. The rest is guesswork. The more people I share the vision the more changes happen. Something the vision I saw does not even happen. My dreams sometimes also show me longer sequences. But nothing is set in stone.'

'Then did you see a dragon tomorrow?' asked Raylene.

The pink-haired empress nodded and then continued. 'I do not know how but Gilthunder will meet us all and ask us to hand over the dragon.'

Nessa then said with a loud voice transmission. 'Hmm, why didn't we just hand it over then, he shouldn't know who any of us are right? The one with an eye-related blessing should be Artorius. Isn't it dangerous to do this while we would be fighting a dragon and Starfall?'

'You forget shrimp, we are not just simply awakening, we will be forcing our bodies to overdraft using the bravery combat doctrines principle. If we can persist, we would need to endure caliber diseases. The cause will be the perfect cover for it. Based on what I saw Tsugumi and Sword dynasty were heavily injured. I think by Gilthunder.' Reminded Jade.

'There are too many factors to consider. I do not shrink away from combat but if we intend to undergo the ritual it will be very dangerous. We will not be able to help Hiro-sama or Tsugumi while we summon Fenrir.'

'Nessa, I feel the same as Jei. Our planned 'overdraft' awakening can only occur during our first combat engagement. If we fight tomorrow we lose the opportunity to do it until we awaken a new caliber. Undergoing the Vaginarnis ritual can even compound the effects of the overdraft. Plus the Caliber we need to exhaust can be spent on either the dragon or Gilthunder.'

'But still.' The blonde empress understood what lay at stake. Yet it felt too complex and too prone to error. Due to being a Strider Vanessa planned her assassination meticulously. She could not understand why a mage like Jade who normally planned even more carefully than her would risk it all. The answer came in a few moments.

'Nessa, as a mage you know how cold and calculating I am. But there is no other way. Tomorrow would be the first of many battles for us as empresses. We cannot shrink just because we are not sure. Let's hammer out the details but we need to be ready. Doing this without your cooperation is impossible.'

At the pink-haired mage's heartfelt entreaty. The princess of the Dominii relented. 'Jei, you know I will never abandon you two. But I do not gamble with the lives of those close to me. Let's discuss it tonight. Hiro-sama left Arcus kiss we can brainstorm till he comes back.'

With the three empresses of heavenly sword brainstorming a plan came together. The battle tomorrow had three objectives.

1. Overdraft each empress to awaken their caliber signatures at a higher value than normal.

2. Use the Caliber diseases to show Tsugumi how to fight without [One with Sword] and with her weaknesses used against her.

3. Summon Fenrir to undergo the Vaginarnis Ritual.

That evening each woman made sure to show Hiro how much they loved him. The man they accompanied in bed was both the reason and their reward. Like psyching themselves up for a major battle. They drowned in the butcher's love and affection before their maiden battle.

—————

Back to the main battle fight. A gigantic 20-meter three-headed wolf came out of the underside of an array high up in the sky. Formed from the negative caliber [Malice], the beast stood upside down as it made a vicious bloodthirsty smile.

- Ho? All three of you survived this time? How amazing… You humans are still trying to call a covenant from so long ago despite never succeeding? I admire your tenacity if nothing else. Fine Show me your determination those who wish to save the world! -

Vanessa and her sister then spoke through their husband's brands on their bodies.

'Darling/Husband/Hiro-sama, no matter what happens believe in us.' X3

Hiro grew restless. The three-headed wolf in front of him felt even more powerful than the Lord of the Desert. Even with his stats, his body wanted to bow down to the being above in the sky. Again he is reminded that this world had too many things he did not know.

His wives intentionally kept him in the dark in summoning the [Malice] array and the being with it. The butcher knew what kind of risks his women took. The fourth caliber even managed to scare Gilthunder.

In his last life, Hiroyuki felt the drug known as [Malice]. He felt powerful, unstoppable, and fearless. Having the caliber course through your body made all your problems disappear and made you feel like a god. Yet like more things, this power came at a cost.

And now his wives undertook a series of steps to intentionally fill themselves with [Malice]. All to call the demonic being suspended in the skies.

Originally his women looked like shooting stars as their hair and eyes shone in gorgeous lights. When [Malice] entered their bodies, their skin slowly turned purple and their eyes completely turned black.

Like eyes devoid of any life, shadows came out of their mouths like smoke. Their hair turned completely white like the crown of those about to pass. Within the domination link connected to Hiro, the once lively connections with his women turned silent as the grave.

The butcher wanted very much to break apart whatever the fuck this whole thing is. But with the pain and sacrifice his women made to get to this point, he felt guilty to abruptly cut it off. Due to his overprotective nature, Hiro kept asking the system.

"System, can I shoulder the pain for my wives in their overdraft awakening?"

-Alert: The host can do so. But that would turn the awakening into a normal one.-

"What do you mean?"

- Alert: An unspoken truth is that the awakening grants the power one can handle. If the burden is taken by another the mettle of the system user is not tested. An overdraft awakening is a hidden loophole in the Caliber and Regalia sub-system. -

Hiro's attention went back to his wives as three voices then announced a poem of words no one else could understand. To him and everyone else, they sound like demonic voices.

[Oh Watchdog of Overternia, we come to ask of you to come forth once more.]

[Similar to your friends from another lifetime.]
