• Chapter #31: [THE UNION COMES BACK]

As the portal stood above, everyone watched as streaks of red light rained down, hitting the ground below and forming Into the formerly trapped Union members.

Each stood in bated breath, as each one showed up, already on a combat stance with their respective weapons and abilities.

Kami Emiya stood up, her Liquid Poison rising and forming serpents around her.

Akiba Kurumi tightened her gauntlets, and took on a solid stance.

Kaguya Emilia possessed a flame-like, jet-black aura coating around her body. Her eyes glowed in malevolent purple.

Komi Misa could be seen riding her White Tiger summons, besides it two of her other summons, the Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.

Kazumaki Yumi had a green colored magic circle beneath her, while her body is coated in yellow aura. Her supportive spells were ready.

Kazumaki Yuki held her sword in a stance, with it glowing with light.

Hideyoshi Ayumi stood, her [Light Play] activated. She held her Golden Lyre quite gracefully.

Suzuki Hayami was silent, though black mist surrounded her weapon and body, as her Shadow Attribute was activated.

Kazuto Hiro had his Abyss Attribute unleashed, making his sclera turn black and his pupils turn into glowing crimson slits. His Flame Attribute were also affected by the Tyrant Blade’s ability, taking on a jet-black shade as it coated his body. Crimson lightning could also be seen occasionally sparking on Hiro’s body.

Tony Mayer’s battle axe glowed blood red, as his Blood Attribute fused with it.

And finally, Yumie Lisa. Her eyes glowed white, while her body is imbued in bluish and misty aura. Stepping on the ground, it was immediately frozen by her power.

Following this, the males of Hiro’s group, as well as the other Union members sighed in relief. Their morale was finally restored. After all, they now stood a great chance of winning.

…

“Well, that’s a bit of a cliché.”, I commented to their entrance. Pretty sure I could add some anime op here, or something, like shouting 'Assemble'.

I shook my head lightly, as I fished my phone from my pocket. I opened the GC once more. It’s been a while since I logged in, after all.

[Enigma: [Emoticon:*Sigh*] The problem on the Death Plane had been resolved. Right now, there’s an on going war beneath me.]

[WarIsLife: YEAH! WAR! WAR! WAR!]

[Plotter: Finally… It’s here… kukukuku…]

[Enigma: [Emoticon:*Annoyed*] Shut it, ya damn story maker.]

[CulturedOjiisan: Hoh! Earth seems to be rough these days.]

[HolyMaiden: Ufufu~ As messy as it is, someone’s still got some time to cheat~ [Emoticon:*Sharp Knife*]

]

[PeaceLife: [Emoticon: *agree with one understanding*] Yes, sometimes we need to be forceful.]

[UnderworldSucks: Uh…[Emoticon: *Cough*]… I’m going to be out for a while, some demons causing trouble here…]

[Enigma: [Emoticon: *Sweating buckets in worries*] Huh…?]

Wtf? Shivers literally just ran from my head to my toes. I could also feel cold sweat forming. Also, is it just me or did Miyanase’s aura shudder for a bit?

[BeastlyBeauty: Ahh~ I’m hurt my dear Kaide~ Did you finally get tired of playing with me and exchanged me for that little deity~?]

[WarisLife: Hey how can I use this images?]

[RockHard: Oh, so a fight’s goin—]

A sudden pause.

[Huh?! Kaide, who’s that cute lady besides you?! [Emoticon: *Shocked*] No way! Atta boy! You fished some adorable deity! [Emoticon: *Jealous Doggo*] Damn, I’m so jealous! She’s totally my type, but you two just look so good together!]

[HolyMaiden: I sure hope that you live up to your name, RockHard. [Emoticon: *Stoic face with cold eyes*]

]

[BeastlyBeauty: Oh my, my~ Looks like someone needs to be broken~]

I gulped for a bit, as some killing intent just overflowed from the chat group.

[WarisLife: Never mind, I'll figure it out....]

[CulturedOjiisan: My brother… I told you to choose your words wisely…[Emoticon: *Patting shoulders with sayonara*]

]

[OldFriendDarkness: [Emoticon: *Nod*] One must choose what to say carefully, as it could either bring blessings or disaster.]

[CheckYourInventory: [Emoticon: *Whistle and become one with the wind*] I better not say anything then…]

[ManaLiz: Grahahaha! This is amusing!]

[Plotter: That was a very bad move…]

[HolyMaiden: Hmph, don’t think you’re out of this, Plotter. This was your mission after all.]

[BeastlyBeauty: Ufufufu~ Someone needs to be put down from having too much fun~]

[Plotter: Wa… Wait, L-Ladies! [Emoticon: *Shivers with sweats*] T-This was needed to proceed the plan!]

My eyes glinted, as I grinned darkly. Hehe, time for revenge you stupid devil.

[Enigma: Yes Plotter, it was needed to proceed the plan still made by you.]

[Schemer: [Emoticon: *Betrayed*]

]

[HolyMaiden: Rest assured darling~ I’ll put this fucker down from his high of manipulating others. [Emoticon: *Affectionate Smile*]

]

[BeastlyBeauty: Count me in, dearie~ [Emoticon: *Wink*]

[Plotter: … Please forgive me…It was part of the pla-]

[Plotter is now offline]

Haha! Finally! I’ve had revenge!

Still, it seems that everywhere I go, women will always be confusing and scary. They’re also habitually right, if a woman says it’s black even though it’s white, it’ll be black.

*Sigh*

Closing the messy chat group, I had again set my gaze down below. I’m still contemplating on helping them. Direct or indirectly? Now or later?

*Sigh*

Hehe… Still, I bet that their brains will go haywire once I reveal that I have 5 copies of the Tyrant’s Blade. For now though, I still can’t reveal it, as I do not know what effect will it cause to the unknown, upcoming disaster.

Closing my eyes, I activated [Scrying], [Plotter’s Discernment], [Bloodlust], and [Multiplier].

I utilized my Shadow World to look around the place at different angles. And finally, after sometime, I had caught the glimpse of a guy. It was enough for me to track and observe him though.

Surprisingly, he had a Union member outfit. Ahh, a mole then? Was he also the cause on why the Mass Teleportation Magic remained undetected?

“Is the plan going to change?”, I heard him mumble. Strangely, he’s wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night.

“Follow the 6TH Contingency Plan.”, A voice echoed from him, but not his. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there’s a Magical Item attached to the glasses, one that allowed it to act like a screen with audio.

“Tsk. Alright.”, The man clicked his tongue, reluctantly accepting. He then concealed his presence and opened a rift in mid-air, pulling out an item.

I focused on the item at hand. Looks like it’s a Teleportation Item that can cross dimensions and… It’s attached to the Death Plane? Well, that’s rare.

Hmmm… Is he the disaster that Schemer spoke of?

[Spectre]

My form turned ghastly, as I exited out of my Shadow Realm. It’s surprising on how it can even affect Miyanase, who’s power is much stronger than mine.

[Feather Light]

I activated my flight ability, and floated outside. I looked at the ongoing battle. Though it looks like the Union had good chances of winning now, I’m still going to do this.

[Miracle Invoker]

[Blessing: 85% Chance of Victory Granted to Union members]

I raised my eyebrows. Only 85%? I thought it’ll be higher. Looks like the Black Zodiac still has something up their sleeves.

Well, I’m sure that’ll be enough though and my task needs to end already. Once more, I activated [Shade Walker] and went back to my Shadow Realm.

…

[Somewhere within the concealed space.]

“A loss…”, A deep voice grumbled. Sighing, be turned to the ground and chuckled.

“Now, where’s that odd LightSeeker?”, He asked himself, scanning the surroundings.

It was then, on the corner of his eye. He saw something. Turning his gaze, he stared at it and frowned. The shadows moved, and although there was no one, there seemed to be something, as the shadows moved and devoured it.

His frown increasingly grew.

“Well, this is trouble…A same one with the same skill like me?”
