Status Update : Next Wave 240:00:00

Transcension - What has been sowed.

I look at my status update with doubt.

Just what does this mean?

There are no signs that the light barrier i erected being static.

The day ended with me having no leads about what does this  mean.

On the next day people are noticeably much more busy than yesterday.

The three heroes were trying different methods to remove the mysterious glow like pouring high grade holy water to their weapons to no avail. they event tried Choral Magic : Purification to purify the glow

But it seems like the nature of the glow is not a curse or any remnants of darkness.

I also investigated the happenings after Bitch Goddess rampage. I checked if there are any survivors on the reincarnators There were no survivors.

On the third day.

Status Update: 167:30:48

Transcension - What has been sowed.

There is no signs of any monsters migrating from the west. east. south and north. everything was normal except the Hourglass of the Dragons Era displaying the status update. People were remarkably busy. everyone was training and i tried contacting the spirit of the shield to no avail.

And onto the day of the wave.

Status Update:  Next Wave 00:10:42

Transcension - What has been sowed.

Everyone was getting ready. the townspeople are evacuated to the south side of the city.

Every soldiers are making their preparations to combat the wave.

"Everyone! Are you ready?!"

Thrash confirmed the statuses of everyone.

"Yes!"

Everyone affirmed to thrash

Status update: Next Wave 00:05:23

Transcension - What has been sowed.

Are you ready?

The status update was updated with more information. It's saying Are you read?

Its like the perpetrator of this was mocking us.

"Yeah we are plenty ready to get rid of you. hurry and come now!"

Motoyasu affirmed with great resolve.

Itsuki was dumbfounded to found that the Hourglass of the Dragons Era actually displayed a message trying to contact the people.

Even i was shocked.

I once again confirmed my status. My stats are much greater than ever. But my attack dmg is still at the zero's mentioning that even i can't beat a baby. My Barbarian Ex Armor's durability was ∞ it really is impossible to destroy.

I once again checked the status of the Hourglass of Dragons Era

Status update : Next Wave 00:00:32

Transcension - What has been sowed.

Are you ready?

"Everyone! Thirty seconds left! Proceed to plan a now! confirm the identity of the enemy and destroy them!" (Trash)

"Yeahh!!"

Everyone shouted with confidence.

Well they have the right to be confident. We the God Hunter are here protecting this world.

Now come! Even if you're a benevolent god i will pursue you and destroy you if you try to destroy this world!!

*DING!!*

A high pitched noise resounded throughout the town.

"Wha~What is this?!!"

We turned our attention to the north side of the town.

A silhouette of something not human. no, not even demi-human.

"What is that?!!"

Everyone was shocked. From the looks of it. It's hair has what it seems like snakes.

A slender body. and a decorated armor. Its eyes resemble a snake.

*WANG*

A high pitched sound resonated again this time with a white flash.

"Wha?!"

"NOO?!!"

I can hear cries like this throughout the town.

Everyone was slowly turning to stone.

I hurriedly checked the status of my party.

Everyone except Raphtalia and me have a status effect

Its name is Perfect Petrification. With a debuff time of ∞.

"Ohh.."

The flying figure looked at me.

"So you're one of those special people huh?"

"Only one? no... two? I'm dissapointed."

"Don't fuck with us!!"

[Shield of Compassion!]

[Trigrams: Art of the sword!]

"HAAA!!!"

Raphtalia shouted and leaped to the mysterious silhouette

*Clang*

*BAM*

Raphtalia's attacked reflected and she was thrown back.

How dare you hurt Raphtalia!

[All Raise Revelation EX!]

I activated the ultimate support magic of all.

[Meteor Wall!]

"Raphtalia once again!" (Naofumi)

"Yes!" (Raphtalia)

[Musou Kassei: Vital Strike EX!]

*Wuushhh*

The mysterious silhouette dissapeared.

"AHHHH!!!"

"What's wrong?!"

Raphtalia cried in pain.

What happened?

"Raphtalia are you oka--"

"Huh?!"

I looked at Raphtalia here eyes turned snake like. and also her tongue.

"Just what?!"

"Humm.. You weaklings are trying your hardest to oppose me?! Such courage, but that will end now."

Raphtalia was speaking. But that is not her!

"Who are you?! Get out of Raphtalia now!"

[I, One of the proxy of this world, have read and deciphered the secrets of this world, hereby order the spirit's power. Unleash a mighty judgement that shall execute thy foe!]

[Might of the swords ∞!!]

I used my powers as the God hunter to try to execute this bastard.

The light from my magic enshrouded the whole city.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"It's over now!"

"Over? What's over?"

"What?!!"

I shouted in dismay. she was unaffected to the magic of the spirits.

One of the four greatest magic of this world [Might of the swords ∞] Was deflected this easily?

"Who are you?" (Naofumi)

"Ara.. Are you finished? Seems like your one of those bastards who tried to seal me. Foolish human!"

[Zeke's Sword]

The mysterious figure unsheathed a sword.

The sword from its look is dangerous. It emits a bloodthirsty aura enough to make me shiver.

"Before I eliminate you. I will tell you my name foolish human. I am Lissandra. One of the four beasts who have achieved transcension" (Lissandra)

"Tra-transcension?!" (Naofumi)

"Yes... I'm afraid that you will not know it's meaning since you will be eliminated today Haha.." (Lissandra)

What eliminated? I can't die yet. Not this world.

I still have the people i love. Raphtalia. Firo. Everyone here. I will definitely save them!!

As i try to activate the shield of anger. I was disturbed by the status update window.

Snakes of unknown numbers formed a pentagon around me.

A beam encircles around their mouths.

The sound of the beam going off.

[Tornado Shield!]

I used the shield i copied from Motoyasu's Windmill.

I deflected all the attacks

Without giving myself the time to breathe. I activated the Curse series skills consecutively.

Iron spikes formed around lissandra and swallowed her.

[Change Shield!] [Shield of Conviction!][ Exploding Wave Chi!]

My shield omits a mellow light and shoots it off to Lissandra.

*Bangg!* *Clang*

I looked to the vicinity where Lissandra is.

"Yo-You're unaffected?!" (Naofumi)

"Didn't i tell you, i am a transcendent being." (Lissandra)

"Now its my turn!"(Lissandra)

[Judgment of the Snakes EX]

I clenched my fist and my teeth and activated my greatest shield to accept Lissandra's attack

*Bang!*

The first shield was depleted.

*Bang*

8 Layered Shield Formation was depleted.

*Bang!*

Meteor Shield EX was barely holding off.

No. I cant die like this. Not here.

My flesh seems to be eroding. But i can't feel any pain.

Status Warning!

Hp status reached critical levels!

My Hp from 90% turned to 15%

Damn! Will i die just like this?!

My consciousness faded.

*Bang*

Meteor Shield EX was depleted and i was dragged across the townsquare for about 30meters.

"Da-Damn you!"

I muster my energy to stay awake.

I can't die here

"Here is the reward for your courage, i will put you out of your misery immediately." (Lissandra)

[Death Sentence]

I closed my eyes remnsicing about my past

Ah... Its been a good life.

"Oraa!!!"

*Clang!!*

The sound of metal clashing to each other.

What?! I'm alive yet?

I looked up to see the silhouette of the mysterious person who helped me.

He seems to be a person with a young build. and carrying a mysterious sword with a gem embedded on its handle.

"It's okay Naofumi. Close your eyes"

"Wh- Ar- You?!"

The final words i said to my benefactor.
