Chapter 11
Prelude to Chaos
-:-
Dragons
With its ability to fly, breath devastating attacks down on its opponents and the wisdom of sages, Dragons were beasts that represented absolute power.
It went without saying that Dragons were considered as one of the most desired ally and the ultimate enemy
…. However, this was not always the case….
A massive explosion rocked the forest the city of Fuyuki as the broken phantasm Arondight landed right between the eyes of the red dragon.
To land a headshot while both the target and the shooters were moving and with more than 5000 feet of distance between each other, was a clear testament of Shiro's mastery of the Archer Class.
However, whatever joy he felt for landing the headshot was quickly replaced with shock as the smoke cleared. The dragon left eye was bleeding profusely and the scales of its forehead were shattered, but that's about it.
Shiro has faced Dragons summoned by lunatics before and the dragon slaying attribute of Arondight was often enough to kill them outright in one shot.
This did not seemed to be the case for this particular Dragon.
Now that Shiro looked closer, there seemed to be glowing runes etched throughout the Dragons body. Based on what he could see, the runes were ancient Greek in origin.
"Magic from the Age of the Gods huh…. What a pain…." Thought Shiro as he ramped up his power to deal with this unforeseen circumstance
Steel is my body and fire is my blood…
Shiro traced Excalibur and loaded it on his bow.
However, before he could fire, an urgent David screamed from behind.
"EVERYONE! GET TO THE GROUND NOW! CRASH IF YOU HAVE TO! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE AIR, NOW!" roared David.
Shiro and Zayd were both confused.
The moment they looked behind them, there was only one specific phrase that was available to describe their shock and horror.
""WHAT THE PHOQUE!?""
What the phoque indeed.
Floating behind them was a monster that dwarfed the Red Dragon in terms of size, strength or sheer horrific presence.
Floating was not the right term to describe it. Swimming would probably be much accurate because half of its body was submerged in 'water'. With its massive tentacles, large gapping mouth and the body as big as a damn mountain, this giant sea monster was nothing short of haunting.
"They unleashed the Kraken?! YOU BASTARDS!" exclaimed Shiro.
Oh god, the Kraken… There's no way Shiro could forget this monstrosity after seeing it once in his past life.
Back in the day, Shiro was kidnapped by the most powerful being in his previous world, the White Princess of the True Ancestors, Arcueid Brunestud herself.
Why?
Because Shiro's good friend and Arcueid's lover/husband/whatever , Tohno Shiki's birthday was fast approaching and Arcueid decided to cook for him.
However, there was a problem…. Arcueid cant cook even to save her unending life!
The food she decided to cook for her lover was Okonomiyaki.
Why?
Because she idiotically bragged that there was nothing she couldn't do! Cooking was as easy as turning an entire city into a parking lot! Okonomiyaki was a walk in the park!
Thanks to her baseless confidence, she literally flew into the Mage Association, grabbed Shiro and flew out.
She then begged (threatened) Shiro to help her make the most perfect Okonomiyaki in existence.
Out of the goodness of Shiro's heart, and MOST CERTAINLY not out of fear that Arcueid might turn him into a bloody smudge in the wall, Shiro gave her the list of ingredients that she needed to gather. He promised to show her how to cook it once she had all the materials ready.
Since she wanted to gather up the best ingredients possible, she went on a journey all over the world to do just that.
It took her 3 days to gather up most of the ingredients.
For the last and most important ingredient, she went back for Shiro and dragged him for the last hunt
And guess what she considered as the best possible ingredient?
Yup, the freaking KRAKEN!
Initially, Shiro tried his best to help Arcueid slay the beast. Sadly it was impossible for him in the past, even with the UBW.
After Arcueid finally got bored of playing around, Shiro was forced to watched as she turned the Kraken, an island and everything within a 50 kilometer radius into minced meat with her Marble Phantasm.
So yeah… Shiro knew how powerful the Kraken was. He also realized how much of a monster Arcueid was.
FYI: Much to Shiro and Shiki's surprise, Arcueid's Okonomiyaki was amazing.
And because of this knowledge, David's next move impressed Shiro to no end.
The Kraken launched its tentacles in order to slap the trio out of the sky. With the Kraken swinging thousands of tons of weight down on the trio, there was no way they would survive taking it head on.
Shiro had no defensive armaments to stop a freaking mountain from crushing them.
Surprisingly, David was a perfect counter to this.
David took out a slingshot and quickly unloaded 4 strikes at almost the same time. These were nothing but stones, but their speed was faster than bullets.
True to David's class as an Archer, the 4 quickly aimed shots landed their mark on the Kraken's extended tentacles. Upon contact, the Kraken visibly flinched despite how puny the stones were compared to the mountain sized bulk of the each tentacle.
Quite impressive really.
David's slingshot, the Hamesh Avanim, was a non lethal NP that lacked the necessary knockout punch to take down an opponent quickly.
Don't let the pacifist 'Thou Shall Not Kill' function fool you though. While Hamesh Avanim was severely lacking in firepower, it still hurt…. A lot…. A hell lot.
The first 4 shots of Hamesh Avanim were warning shots that leaves no injury. Not even a single bump could be seen on where the blows land. However, it does cause so much pain that all living being cant help but flinch.
Quite simply, it was the perfect deterrent.
As such, even the Kraken with such a massive shield of muscle couldn't help but be cautious from the attack that caused it so much pain. To make matters worse, the Kraken was an extremely large target. There was no way David could miss.
However, that was not the end of David's attack.
Once again, the massive bulk of the Kraken was used against itself.
David's 5th strike was fired towards the center of the Kraken's body where all its tentacles met. The extremely small stone entered the Kraken's mouth, and with a loud bang, caused the beast to roar in agony.
"Damn it! It didn't go down!" said David as he continued to fire stone after stone at the Kraken.
The Hamesh Avanim's 5th shot was literally the knock out punch of the noble phantasm. Normally, anything hit by the 5th shot would be knocked unconscious.
However, just like Gae Bolg, there were ways around this haymaker.
In the Kraken's case, it was simply too tough to be brought down by a peashooter.
Never the less, David kept firing on just to keep the Kraken at bay. Unfortunately, while definitely being hindered by the pain of the Hamesh Avanim, the Kraken was slowly powering through it.
The trio was sandwiched between a Red Dragon and a Kraken. To make matters worse, their firepower was severely lacking to damage such monstrosities.
Things were not looking good at all.
"I guess it cant be helped then…"
I have created over a thousand blades….
Power surged through Shiro's body as the floodgate holding back a limitless sea of power opened ever so slightly.
On his right hand, water appeared out of nowhere and swirled into a shape of a polearm with three sharp edges at the very tip of it.
This was another NP that had the fame to match its overwhelming power.
The beautiful blue polearm was the Trident of Posiedon: The Sea God's Wrath.
Shiro instantly loaded it with absurd amounts of mana.
"ZAYD! DIVE! NOW!" roared Shiro as he threw the Trident towards the Red Dragon
Zayd had no idea what Shiro had planned but he made himself more aerodynamic in order to increase his descent speed.
Truth be told, Zayd was scared shitless at the very prospect of approaching the Dragon below him. Especially when the said dragon was about to launch its signature fire breath attack.
With a loud roar, the Red Dragon unleashed an ungodly firestorm that scorched the heavens… literally.
But before it could turn the already dark clad Zayd into charcoal, the trident exploded a few meters in front of the pedophile.
Out of nowhere, a massive tidal wave blanketed the sky. Like a dam that underwent structural failure, the millions of tons of water were unleashed all at once.
The horrific firestorm of the Red Dragon was nothing more than a flickering candle to the massive wall of water.
The water slammed brought the Dragon down and slammed into the ground. The earth shook violently as the trident unleashed a downpour of epic proportion.
The trident's outflow only lasted a mere 5 seconds, but it was more than enough to turn the once lush forest into a lake.
The trio took advantage of this and dove deep into the newly formed lake.
A moment later, the Kraken came crashing down on their location. It trashed violently in hopes that it would accidentally hit the trio.
Zayd dodged any attack with ease. As expected of the Assassin class, Zayd disappeared from view even before he dove into the water. There was no way anyone, especially a massive monster, could track him once his presence concealment is active.
Sadly, this didn't apply to Shiro and David.
Due to the blind thrashing of the Kraken, the odds of hitting 2 small targets was almost non existent. However, the massive waves created by the Kraken was no joke. The tsunami level waves flung the two quite a distance and smashed them into god knows what that was floating around the makeshift lake with them.
On the positive side, the 2 was able to get away quite easily in the midst of the chaos. Unfortunately, they were separated.
On the flipside, the tsunami has beaten them black and blue.
For about 10 minutes, Shiro swam like a crocodile with only the top part of his head above the water. Just to be on the safe size, he wore a pantie over his head.
Why?
Because that's the only thing he found that wasn't smashed to bits by the massive wave. Now it may sound like an excuse, but it was the truth.
The farther he went from the Kraken, the smaller the waves became. This was thanks to the mountains that disrupted the waves before they could properly form.
As he kept a low profile among the ruble, he carefully scanned the environment for signs of Zayd and David.
It didn't take him long to spot his friends. After all, 2 floating round objects with panties snugly fitted over them stood out like a sore thumb.
Eventually, the 3 heads that wore panties as headgears gathered together.
"Hmm… pure white with frills and laces… I never expected that you had the taste for the elegant kind Shiro." Said David
"Right back at you David. Blue and white stripes is the mark of sporty girls. Don't they normally have lean builds?" asked Shiro.
"That's discrimination! Medusa Gorgon from the Cycling club had striped panties and she's stacked!" David replied with passion.
"I guess there are no absolutes in this world. On the other hand…"
Shiro and David focused their eyes on Zayd. More specifically, on the underwear on his head.
It was jet black with violet laces and exquisite designs. More importantly, though not entirely see through, it was opaque enough to obscure the private parts.
It was that type of underwear made for rough smexy time at bed.
"Dude…. You're a lolicon right? What's with the battle panties?" asked David with a slightly horrified expression
"Don't make that face David. Imagine of hot MILF wore innocent pure white underwear. Wouldn't that be a turn on?" said Zayd
""True True"" both Shiro and David agreed.
There was something extremely moe when someone acts very different from how they initially appear. It's like when tsundere goes from Tsun to Dere. Quite an adorable sight
"Then the same applies to lolis! Imagine, a cute and childish loli sporting adult wardrobe! You understand the moe behind it, don't you Shiro?"
"Spoken like a true lolicon sage! As you'd expect of the man that would soon reach the peak of lolitopia!"
Between the true generalist and the lolicon specialist, the deep bond of understanding for the glory of Flat was strengthened.
""FOR LOLITOPIA! FOR LOLIDISE! FOR SHANGRILOLI!""
Shiro and Zayd slapped their chest twice.
This symbolized their understanding to the holy phrase 'A woman's beauty is inversely proportional to bust size'
Naturally, the booby lover David was left out of their glorification of lolis.
"I hate to break your deranged prayer, but we still have a situation at hand here." said David
"True enough…. And may I say, our situation is quite bad" said Zayd as he stared off to the distance
The Kraken punched through a mountain while the Dragon melted another mountain through sheer firepower.
At the sight of the enemies they had to deal with, the trio's hearts were united as to their current status
"We're screwed aren't we?" said David
"Royally screwed. The dragon will kill us with fire while the Kraken will turn us into pancakes" said Shiro
"I cant see us winning. I don't care if we hurt Eros' feelings! We cant win against those! Let's go home!" said Zayd
The 3 nodded to each other as they set their course of action.
Just to be clear though, Shiro could easily defeat the Kraken and the Dragon at the same time if he unleashed his UBW. With the limitless amount of heroes unleashing all their concentrated might at the same time, there was no way these beasts would survive long.
However, unleashing the UBW was not something Shiro did at the slightest provocation. It was like launching a nuke just because someone posted an offensive meme of you.
Shiro's UBW completely negated the GW Field because it brings Shiro's enemies into his world, thus no longer under the influence of the field. Quite simply, unleashing the UBW was synonymous to committing murder.
The 3 times he unleashed the UBW was mostly out of anger and all nearly killed his targets. This went against his oath to the Shiro of this world.
He wasn't sure who controlled the Dragon and the Kraken, but he was pretty damn sure that their deaths would make someone really really sad.
And besides, his goal in this world is to live the life of a harem king as desired by the Shiro of this world. Killing anyone negatively affects this goal.
Thus, Shiro did his best to avoid using that nuke of an ability as much as possible.
With that in mind, Shiro and David followed Zayd as they stealthily made moved away from the monsters.
They continued to perform their alligator styled swimming as they navigated the debris field made by the monsters.
Their progress was slow but their safety first approach made it much less painful.
They made sure to stay as far away as possible from the monsters. At the same time, they slowly made their way back to the general location of Fuyuki City.
About 30 minutes of swimming and sneaking, the 3 panty clad warriors were able to stealthily climb a few mountains and were on their way back to they came.
During this time, they noticed that the 2 beasts have become bored from their search. The Kraken lazily smacked a mountain flat while the Dragon launched its breath attack as if it was yawning.
It really drove home the fact that these 2 were powerful beyond human comprehension.
"Ha ha ha. Thank god we decided on the coward's route." Said David as cold sweat ran down his cheeks
"It is as my good old father said. There is nothing more worthless than a heroic sacrifice." Replied Zayd.
Shiro could only laugh as the Dragon burned another mountain with a yawn.
Seriously, beating that thing alongside the Kraken without UBW, while not impossible, would be an extremely hard uphill battle
"Let's just get out of here." Said Shiro as he continued climbing the mountain they were currently scaling.
However, upon reaching what they thought was their means of escape, the trio was in for a shock.
As they stealthily made their way over the mountain, they suddenly hit an invisible wall. To make matters worse, a massive surge of electricity shocked David whom happened to be leading the group.
""DAVID!""
Zayd tried to catch David but he immediately flinched from pain. It seemed that there was massive amount of static electricity. Touching David was impossible.
To make matters worse, David went to the ground and was unable to move. He wasn't unconscious, but all of his attempts to move his limbs were for naught.
"It's a GW field that paralyzes anyone that tries to leave it. Should have known when our pilot suddenly disappeared" Said David
As you'd expect of a person who had long been qualified for the Ruler seat, David immediately understood his situation.
However, that was only the beginning of it.
The earth shook as two massive roars echoed through the mountains.
At the distance, Shiro could spot the Kraken and Dragon had turned towards their direction. It was as if they knew exactly where the trio's were.
"Tch… so it's also a surveillance net huh. I don't know who we're dealing with, but our opponent is no joke." Said Shiro as he began gathering up power for the inevitable clash that was to come.
"No shit Sherlock! I think that was fairly obvious when we first saw the Dragon and the Kraken in one place!" replied Zayd who was also preparing for combat.
"I don't need that that sarcasm right now Zayd!"
"Shut it! This is no time to pretend that you're weak! Do that bullshit you did in the Hasegawa Miki incident!"
Shiro couldn't help but sigh at Zayd's demand.
While his friends had no idea how truly powerful the full might of the UBW, they understood the Hasegawa Miki/ Izanami No Mikoto was extremely strong and Shiro was able to beat her.
Then again, since the GW field didn't allow an exit, fighting their way out was the only solution.
Naturally, Shiro had no intention of unleashing UBW's full might. However, going up to the last line of his chant was more than enough to force the beasts back.
Unaware of loss, Nor aware of gain….
The uncomfortable feeling of blades replacing his skin.
The tiring strain of his body getting heavier and heavier.
The terrifying pressure of his ego being crushed by the cold function of a sword.
It was a familiar and unwelcome feeling of Shiro turning into the white skeleton of swords.
But before the white blade of instant death could manifest, something went terribly wrong.
The area where the invisible GW barrier was situation suddenly unleashed a massive lightning chain that struck Shiro. It wrapped around him like a snake and squeezed him without mercy.
Pain shot through his body, though it wasn't because the lightning snake's vice grip.
Shiro instantly knew that this was because the snake was not squeezing him physically, but because it was forcefully suppressing his power.
His current situation was water forcefully pumped into a water balloon that was already full.
Shiro was in the state right before dying from internal combustion. It was extremely uncomfortable. It was like throwing up but with his entire body.
"Damn it! What happened man?!" said Zayd as he tried to touch Shiro.
Unlike David, there was no stasis barrier around Shiro.
"Power…. Suppression…" Shiro was able to squeeze out.
"Shit!"
David pulled out his knife and prepared to face the fast approaching monstrosities.
"What the hell are you doing?! Didn't you just said that there was nothing more useless than heroic sacrifice?! Run now!" roared David.
Shiro wanted to say the same thing but he was in a condition where he cant speak freely.
"SHUT UP! How dare you even suggest that I leave my comrades?! Are we not fellow travelers in the path of Moe?!" Zayd replied with so much passion that both David and Shiro were taken aback.
"Zayd…" said David
Both David and Shiro couldn't help but be moved at Zayd's conviction.
"We are brothers that have shared the same porn! We are family that has shared the same holes to peek in the girl's shower room! Our bond is more than just friends or comrades! We are holy soldiers that have bled in the battlefields of perversion! And in those dark times, have we abandoned one another? NAY! We have not! We have fought shoulder by shoulder until those who oppose us are destroyed or till our enemies walk over our bodies! Just as you to have never abandoned me, I shall never abandon you! Be it arms or beasts, heaven or hell, school or detention, our bond of brotherhood will endure! We will-"
*SPLAT*
And thus, the trio died in the most pathetic way. Killed like roaches crushed beneath the rubber slippers of progress!
Confusing?
Some clarifications were in order.
Zayd's speech was not only heartwarming but also awe inspiring. In fact, it was o inspiring that Shiro and David listened to the lolicon assassin with undivided attention.
Zayd was also very into his bromance speech that he, along with Shiro and David, completely forgot the reason behind the speech.
Somewhere at the beginning of Zayd's speech, the Dragon arrived on the scene. As you'd expect of a flying battle tank of death and destruction, the Dragon went over mountains with ease.
While it may be able to 'swim' in the air, the Kraken was greatly hampered by its massive bulk. Catching up to the Dragon was extremely hard.
Upon the Dragon's arrival, it noticed that the trio was undergoing some last stand pep talk.
Like a proper gentleman, the Dragon landed near the trio and politely kept quiet as they continued their talk uninterrupted.
As a wise man once said: "Manners Maketh Man"
Sadly, manners cant win against the automatic reflexes of the body.
The Dragon had a bad habit of stomping his foot whenever he had a big sneeze. As such, while he was calmly listening to Zayd's speech (which impressed him quite a lot), the Dragon couldn't stop a sudden urge to sneeze.
The sneeze caused a firestorm but the Dragon was able to point it upward in order to avoid hitting the trio.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to control his habitual stomping.
And thus, the trio were like bubblegum underneath the Dragon's foot.
The Dragon couldn't help but feel extremely guilty about this. He wanted to give Zayd the fight that matched his baseless bravery.
It was easy to imagine the regret and sorrow the Dragon felt when he flattened the trio.
The lesson of the story?
Chat Kills
-:-
AROUND THE SAME TIME
A PANTHEON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GW FIELD
Within the beautiful ancient pantheon was a large floating mirror that acted as a CCTV for the entire GW field.
In front of the mirror were 2 individuals who were very much focused on the events that transpired between the perverted trio and the 2 beasts
"Hmmm… While the result was as I expect thanks to my GW field, didn't they die a little bit too pathetically?" said the woman who was sitting in a fancy wooden chair.
She adjusted her glasses as she analyzed the image on the mirror.
The woman could be describe in one phrase: 'One of the hottest MILF in existence'
Unlike Amaterasu who maintained her 18 year old beauty throughout her unending life, this MILF was filled with mature beauty.
Appearance wise, she was around 30 years old with brown hair tied into a ponytail and silver eyes. With a large perfectly shaped breast, thin waist, well proportioned child bearing hips and long legs, the MILF was as MILF as an MILF could be.
This mature bespectacled beauty was Hera Olympus, the stepmother of Hera Cleas and the wife of Zeus Olympus.
Mind you, she didn't view the title 'Wife' to 'that man' too positively. In fact, she hated being related to 'that man'.
"Indeed it was pathetic, but don't underestimate them. While the Assassin and the Archer are not much of a threat, the other Archer is definitely someone we cant underestimate" said the young man that stood beside Hera.
The young man was in his mid 20's with long white unkempt hair and an equally pale white skin. Despite being lanky, his eyes were as sharp as the gigantic spear that he carried with him. Clad with golden armor and a fiery red cloak, the young man reeked of divinity.
This young man was Karna Vasusena, a professional in the GW scene and currently holds the title 'Most Powerful GW Fighter in the World'.
Do note thought that those who have been alive since the Great War were banned from participating in the professional GW scene.
Why?
Quite simply, they were so messed up strong!
Their power was so overwhelming that the only ones that can actually match them were their fellow Great War survivors.
This was doubly true to the Living Gods that possessed Amaterasu's armors. These Gods was so powerful that they cancel out the GW Field's effect even while holding back to the absolute limit.
With the lack of the Great War survivors, Karna Vasusena was crowned as the most powerful GW pro in the world.
Mind you, despite being so young, Karna was actually as strong as some of the Great War survivors.
Due to this extremely high combat prowess, Hera approached Karna for help with her current quest for revenge against 'that man'.
Because she rated Karna so highly, his words made her worry a fair bit.
"What do you mean 'not to be underestimated'? The kid is being hampered by my GW field that was specifically designed to weaken 'that bastard'. No way a young nobody could get around something that was made for someone who is a direct descendant of the Living Gods." said Hera
"The GW is a game with no absolutes. There are quite a few means to bypass the GW field's effect. While I personally don't know of these means, I have seen people negate them. " replied Karna
"I see… Never the less, even if the little Archer does cancel out the power suppression, I doubt he can match you even if he did use full power. Or don't tell me you're scared? The most power GW player in the world is scared? How cute~"
Hera teased Karna, to which Karna could only sigh in resignation.
"Miss Hera, your carefree comments are understandable because you don't have any combat experience despite being born with relatively high power. However, those who have fought innumerable battles can instinctively spot someone dangerous just by seeing them once. In my opinion, that Archer and the Archangel Caster that came before him are extremely strong. My instincts are telling me that if I fought either one of them on a 1 on 1 scenario and without constraints, my chances of victory is 50%... or maybe even less" replied Karna
Hera couldn't help but shrink back at Karna's statement.
Hera was a direct descendant of Druga, one of the Living Gods faithful to Amaterasu. Because of this, Hera often followed her ancestor around when she went on one of her Man VS Wild adventures in some forest they had no idea where.
Druga was… for all intents and purposes, not the most sane person on the planet. She was bright, cheerful and would befriend pretty much anyone…. By force if necessary.
Despite not being able to understand animals, Druga has friends in every scope of the animal kingdom. This rubbed off to Hera who shared her ancestors love for animals.
Jack (the Dragon) and Rose (the Kraken) that joined Hera in her unending quest of revenge against 'that man' were actually 'friends' of Druga.
Thus, to Hera has never fought in the frontlines (or any lines as a matter of fact), Karna's words had weight.
"Hold on! Didn't you beat the Archangel with one shot?" asked Hera
"Indeed I did. However, that was only because I launched a sneak attack while she was facing off against Jack. And that was while she was under the effect of the power suppression. Before that, she was overwhelming Jack. If my estimates are right, this Archer would have done the same if Jack and Rose didn't appear at the same time."
Hera descended into silence.
The appearance of 2 powerful individuals that Karna was cautious of was unexpected.
Was this a sign?
"Is it possible that the 2 were sent by 'that bastard'?" asked Hera who dreaded the possibility of her guess being correct.
"In all honesty, I'm not entirely sure if Zeus sent them." Replied Karna.
In response, Hera slammed her fist into the chair.
"DON'T CALL THAT BASTARD BY HIS NAME! That bastard doesn't deserve any respect! Damn coward! Sending children to do his bidding while he sits back and relax?! Worthless Rapist! If he wants his key to another pussy, he better come here himself and get it!"
Hera roared as her anger went spiraling out of control.
Karna could only shrink back as he allowed Hera to let her rage out of her system.
While he did help Hera out of the goodness of his heart, there were times that he couldn't help wonder who the true bad guy of this scenario was.
-:-
FUYUKI CITY PARK
The trio stood in a daze as they watched the children in the park frolic underneath the afternoon sun.
They stood in a waiting shed that had the signs 'Losers Area' standing all around it.
In silence, Shiro and David could hear Zayd's sobbing
"*sob* *sniff* damn it! Give me back my conviction! Give me back my bravery! UWAAAAA" said Zayd as he let the water works flow.
Shiro and David could only give Zayd a comforting pat on the shoulder.
Nothing was more embarrassing than having a person's heroic cut short with a painful stomp to the face.
If placed in the same situation, Shiro and David would have cried their eyes off as well.
To add insult to injury, they were in the Losers Area.
"Our opponent is one cruel bastard! Not only did they damage our ego by stepping on us, they also did a double whammy with the Loser's Area! Damn it! Forget the legendary porn treasure trove! This is personal! I wont be satisfied until I punch the bastard in the face!" roared David to the heavens.
"No one steps on our bromance and gets away with it. Be prepared to have an Excalibur shoved up Uranus you bastard." Said Shiro in a calm yet cold manner.
Their hearts were one in the desire for vengeance.
As the perverted trio shouted threats of dismemberment to their unknown enemy, a beautiful voice interrupted their rage.
"It's weird to see you acting so stupid Oni-chan. It's actually quite refreshing."
In front of the trio was a white haired beauty of the same age as they were. She was sporting a white Sunday dress with a matching straw hat.
Shiro immediately recognize her as the older Illyasviel Von Einzburn, however, he decided to call her by the name she now used.
"Hellel? What are you doing here…. And why are you with Jack?"
Holding Hellel's hand was Shiro's resident stalker, Jacqueline D. Ripper. If trio didn't know better, the 2 would have easily be mistaken as sisters or maybe even a young wife and her child.
Before Hellel could explain, Jack has taken a liking to this misunderstanding and went to town with it.
"Didn't I tell you Mama? Papa is right here with her stupid friends." Said Jack
Hellel and Shiro's face couldn't help but cramp at Jack's words.
On the other hand, David and Zayd punched Shiro right in the gut.
"You bastard! Not only are you no longer a virgin, you already have a kid?! YOU TRAITOR!" roared David
"To think I considered you a friend! How dare you!" said Zayd as he snuck in another punch.
"Don't shit with me you dumbasses! It's obvious that Jack is not my daughter!" replied the pissed off Shiro.
"W-well, you know…. You've been having so much progress with your harem that I kind of want to hit you…." Said David
"D-don't misunderstand! It's not like I'm jealous of you or anything!" said Zayd in an ill fitting tsundere manner.
Shiro traced the fist type NP Nemean Cestus (Google it!) and bashed his friends right in the kisser.
Hellel could only laugh dryly at the trio's comedic performance.
"Based on what Jack told me, you 4 took up a request to retrieve a legendary stash of porn….. *sigh*…. A pervert, has a harem and I refuse to stop loving you…I guess love really does make a person stupid… *sigh*" Hellel sighed with a resigned smile on her face.
""SHIRO YOU BASTA-!""
Before Zayd and David could interrupt the sickeningly sweet atmosphere between Shiro and Hellel, Jack rushed in and dropped kicked the two.
Zayd had a happy expression on his face. Truly a peerless lolicon.
"I will not allow my future 'father-mother-daughter 3P' be denied" Jack said in a cold and almost aggressive manner.
Naturally, Hellel was a bit creeped out. She looked to Shiro for an explanation.
Shiro whispered to her his answer.
"Quite simply, she's ever so slightly insane." Said Shiro.
Hellel was silent for a bit, then whispered back.
"Let me guess… a lot of women in your harem are not so sane either" replied Hellel
Shiro didn't answer. With a single tear flowing down his cheek, he looked towards setting sun.
The truth hurts so much that Shiro couldn't even speak of it.
Hellel couldn't help but sigh at his silent affirmation.
"*sigh* Well, whatever. For now, let's go to my house. The others are waiting" said Hellel as she held Shiro's right hand like a lover would.
She did it so naturally that no one would have doubted that she belonged anywhere else.
Jack silently did the same thing to Shiro's left hand
"Others?" asked Shiro
"You'll see soon enough Oni-chan" replied Hellel
FYI: while Shiro looked calm and composed, he was flying higher than a kite.
How could he not be?
A silent white haired loli on his left and an angelic white haired beauty on his right. With a flower on each hand, Shiro thought to himself:
"Look at this, Original Shiro of this World! Your dream of Haremtopia is starting to take shape! Give me time and I'll show your greatest desire realized!"
And thus, Jack, Hellel and Shiro went ahead as they completely forgot about David and Zayd who were still at the Losers Area
-:-
A FEW MINUTES LATER
Nostalgia hit Shiro like an out of control dump truck.
Hellel Lightbringer's current residency was the Emiya Mansion of Shiro's previous world.
The dojo, the guest room and even the old shack behind the mansion was there.
Shiro was literally holding back his tears when the 5 entered Hellel's home.
Waiting for them in the living room were 3 people that Shiro didn't expect to be there.
First was a woman so beautiful, she instantly joined Tsukumihara's 10 Most Beautiful Girls the millisecond she transferred in.
Presenting Tsukumihara Academy's Goddess of Luck: ASTOLFO CHARLEMENGE!
"Who are you calling a Goddess?! I'm a Man!" Astolfo erupted.
Shiro, David and Zayd gasped.
"""OMG?! How did you know that?! You can read minds?!"""
"Damn it! Why does everyone do that! I'm a man damn it!" said Astolfo as he charged into Shiro and struck him repeatedly with weak girly punches.
To counter this, Shiro quickly moved himself closer to Astolfo. With their face almost at kissing distance, Shiro lightly caressed Astolfo's cheeks.
"Ha ha ha. You're cute even when you're angry." Said Shiro as he stared into Astolfo's eye.
"E-eh? Wha-?"
Astolfo blushed profusely as he stood as rigid as a statue.
"Why don't you take a seat. Being too rambunctious is rude to the owner of the house" said Shiro in a very Casanova manner.
With a face that was entirely crimson, Astolfo could only nod in response and obediently took a seat.
"Huh? What just happened? I'm a guy right? Why did my heart skip a beat?! Why cant I look at Shiro's face without blushing?! What's happening to me?!... Don't tell me…. Im in L-l-lov- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IT CANT BE!" thought Astolfo as he slammed his face repeatedly into the table.
On the other hand….
"MWAHAHAHA! Resistance if futile Astolfo! I've been raising your flags nonstop since you entered school! I know your personal quirks and what you like! This is checkmate! FALL TO MY CHARMS AND JOIN MY HAREM! MWHAHAHAHA!" thought Shiro despite his face not showing it.
In response to this, David and Zayd communicated with Shiro through the manliest way possible….. with their eyes
""You bastard! Now you're after the Goddess of Luck?! I hope you accidentally step on your eroge collection! "" thought Zayd and David
"You mad bro? If you have a problem with it, get yourself your own Astolfo!" Shiro fired back.
While the trio were throwing insults with their eyes, one of the other 2 spoke up.
"Damn bro…. You sunk your fangs into another babe? Impressive as always Shiro" said the armor clad Mordred.
And since Modred was here, it could only mean one thing… EXCALIBUR FACE X3
Yes…. The sexy blonde, big boob Morgan Le Flay was here as well, naturally, quite a few people were displeased about it.
"Hello Shiro and... and… Lackey A and Lackey B?" said Morgan while twinkling her finger in a cute manner.
Despite being drop dead gorgeous and one of the top 10 beauties of Tsukumihara, Morgan's very presence pissed off the trio to no end.
David and Zayd kept their mouth shut in order to keep their rage in check.
"What do you want Morgan?"
Shiro spoke to Morgan but his voice lacked the friendly perverted façade he usually took. It was cold, cruel and unwelcoming. This actually caused some raised eyebrows from Hellel and Astolfo who were both relatively unfamiliar with Morgan.
"As cold as ever I see. Fret not, I find it adorable." Replied Morgan in a flirty manner. "As to why I am here, I was ordered by my family to pay respect to the future first wife of your harem."
Back in White Day, there was a massive fortune telling bonanza in Shiro's school. Apparently, the fortune tellers were able to see the future of Shiro's haremittes and was able to reveal who was the first wife.
Personally, Shiro never saw it because the fortune tellers unilaterally cursed his existence.
And thus, this particular meeting caught Shiro's interest.
"First wife? Who's that?" asked Shiro.
Morgan stared at Jack and sneered.
"Sorry to disappoint you but it's no longer you Jack." Said Morgan
Shiro was surprised at this, but before he could ask Jack if it was true, killing intent spiked as Jack armed herself for battle.
In response to this, Modred stood in front of Morgan with his blade at the ready.
Fortunately, before the violence could start, Hellel got between them and forehead flicked the 2. As you'd expect of someone with the Berserker class in her repertoire, the blow was loud enough to be mistaken as gunfire.
Both Jack and Mordred were on the floor due to this.
"My parents might be overseas but that doesn't mean I can start a party any time I want. If you want to play, go outside and as far away from here as possible. But as long as you are in my house, I will not tolerate any annoyances. Understood?" said Hellel in a relaxed yet slightly threatening manner.
"Yes maam…" said Mordred
"Yes mama…" said Jack
The 2 of them sat beside their respective authority figure and remained silent
Hellel then sat beside Shiro and urged Morgan to proceed with her explanation.
"It is common knowledge in the world of fortune telling that the future is never set in stone. It is constantly changing and a 100% accurate prediction is impossible. Because of this, Jack was Shiro's first wife during White Day. That much is certain. However, since I can afford paying those fortune quacks their expensive fees, I was able to observe the changes in the future" said Morgan
"Oh? And what's the result?" asked Shiro
Naturally, Shiro was extremely interested in this. It is his harem after all.
Besides Shiro, Jack and Hellel …. And even Astolfo were all ears to Morgan's words.
"Fu fu fu. I guess you would find it interesting huh. I had this divination performed every day and compiled a decent number of data. The first wife often change between Jack, Joan and Gilgamesh. The others possibilities do happen but no one among the original 10 haremites came close to these 3…. But that changed after the Inter School Grail War Competition." Said Morgan with a sigh.
Everyone leaned forward in suspense.
"After the Inter School Grail War Competition, the number of Shiro's wives nearly doubled…. And one wife has consistently occupied the first wife slot for the last few days." Said a resigned Morgan
"Enough with the melodramatics. Who's the girl?" asked the impatient Hellel
Morgan glared at Hellel for a few seconds, then sighed in resignation
"That would you Hellel Lightbringer. For the last few days, the order of which wife married first has constantly been changing as per usual, but you remained unmoving on the top spot" replied Morgan.
""Eh?""
Both Shiro and Hellel were surprised at this.
They looked at each other in silence. While both were blushing quite a bit, they didn't act like they were teenagers.
They may look like highschoolers, but they were both full pledge adults in their prior lives. They were more than mature enough to understand that such things were as a matter of course.
"Well, I guess that's fine." Said Hellel as she gently grabbed Shiro's hand under the table.
Shiro gently squeezed her hand.
"Let's move to the important matter at hand." Said Shiro.
"OI OI OI! This is pretty big news you know?! You cant just brush it off just like that!" said Zayd
Everyone except Shiro and Hellel agreed with Zayd.
"Well…. What can I say… When we realized each other's existence, I felt like something like this was bound to happen. I was half expecting to be in the middle of the pack, but being the head of the harem is fine too. As long as I'm married to Shiro, I'm happy." Hellel explained in a calm manner, but she couldn't hide the massive blush on her face.
Hellel's immaculate image silenced all complaints. Her visage of pure love was so bright that it even melted the heart of stone that Morgan wore on her sleeve.
While Morgan felt like she has lost to Hellel in some way, she didn't feel too bad about it. She felt like if the enemy was Hellel, was inevitable to lose a war on love.
Among the defeated, only Jack was elated of the appearance of the unbeatable Hellel.
"My Father-Mother-Daughter 3P incest play is all but assured!"

30 MINUTES LATER
Due to Hellel's lack of cooking skills, the group initially planned to eat out for dinner.
However, when it was revealed that Hellel's pantry was fully stocked, Shiro took up the mantle of cook and prepared a feast for the group.
Zayd, David, Jack and, surprisingly, Mordred offered to help out in Shiro's endeavor.
For some reason, the women incapable of cooking felt that the ever emotionless Jack was sneering at them for being so worthless.
The meal was fairly simple and ended quite quickly.
From there on, it was a strategy meeting on their next step.
"By the way, you still haven't really told us why you're here. And don't use the 'I'm here to greet the first wife' excuse. I know you're a sinful snake. No way that's the only thing you're after." Said Shiro
"Fu fu fu. You really don't trust me, don't you? Is that why in all those fortune telling session, you never chose me as your first wife?" replied Morgan in a playful manner.
"If you were in my shoes, I believe you'll do the same." Said Shiro
"Touché. Very well, I'll come clean. I have 4 reasons for being here. You already know the first one. The second was is to 'Market myself to Emiya Shiro'. After that whole fiasco in Inter School GW thing, I think you understand why the rich, powerful and corrupt want to have connections with you." replied Morgan
Indeed he does.
To be in casual speaking terms with two of the most powerful beings in this world, Amaterasu and Futsunushi, Shiro was in a position where most people would kill for.
To the rich and the corrupt, connections were everything.
If they were connected to Shiro, they were indirectly connected to the Gods of this world.
"It's funny how deluded they are if they think that would work" said Shiro
"Let fools be fools. It's more fun that way. Anyway, my third reason is more mundane. I'm here on vacation. My family owns a Vila in Fuyuki." Said Morgan
"And the last reason?"
"We were hired by a certain someone to convince the one inside the GW field to give up the thing she was hording. Me and Mordred went there in order to negotiate. We were flattened by the Kraken before we even saw the target."
Morgan massaged her forehead in frustration.
"After that, you asked Hellel for help?" asked Shiro
It was the naturally course of action.
If Mordred wasn't enough to protect Morgan, then they needed to approach the most powerful person available to them for backup.
However, it seemed that it wasn't the case.
"I actually turned them down when they asked" said Hellel " Out of the behest of a certain goddess that I cant name, I went into the GW field in order to investigate what was happening but was destroyed in a 3 on 1 battle."
Hellel's words caused quite a bit of worry among the group
"Hold on! 3 on 1? You mean, there's another one?!" said David in horror
"Yes. Though I didn't get to see who it was. I was too busy trying to survive the Dragon+Kraken duo when the 3rd wheel attacked me from somewhere. If you add the power suppression GW field into the mix, it really paints our adversaries as the crafty sort" said Hellel as she gently caressed the head of the lolita assassin that was sleeping on her lap.
A heavy atmosphere shrouded over the group.
The Dragon and the Kraken were bad enough, and now another one lurked amidst the shadows?
Shiro might want to shove the pointy end of his swords up their opponent's hind quarters due to his anger for their hindrance, but his willingness to do so started to waver due to the horribly gimped odds.
Nothing was more futile than fighting an unwinnable battle.
Running with his tails between his legs was starting to become very attractive right about now.
On a separate and unrelated note….
"Hey Astolfo, why are you here? I doubt you have any stake on this holy battle for porn. So why?" asked Shiro
The goddess of luck flinched at the question.
"Eh? I… um…. Most of my family lives here in Fuyuki. Since it's summer vacation, I decided to spend it here with them….. and I heard you were here so….." Astolfo trailed off as he shyly played with his locks.
"""GOD TIER MOE!""" thought everyone in the room
While the immaculate Hellel was dominating in Shiro's waifu wars, there was no doubt that Astolfo was putting up an extremely fierce resistance.
Hellel leaned over to Shiro and whispered.
"Hey Oni-chan. Dominate Astolfo. This is an order. She'd make a fine maid *huff* *huff*…. A spunky maid being defiled by her evil master…. *huff* *huff*" said Hellel with a face of a dangerous carnivore that has spotted her prey.
It seemed that the 2 Illya's of this world had the same maido switch that converted them from lovable girls into ravenous beasts of prey.
It was quite adorable.
"Don't worry my beloved imouto. I have raised enough flags with Astolfo. She'll be our personal maid slave in the future…. *huff* *huff*"
While Shiro replied with a calm façade, his eyes had a dangerous glint in it and his breathing was as ragged as Hellel's.
"I'll look forward to it…. *huff* *huff*"
And thus, the night went on and 2 comprehensive strategies were formed.
First, a united front against the GW Field's master.
Second, the basic structure for an extremely erotic R18 maid story that would soon gain world renown.

THE NEXT DAY
INSIDE THE MYSTERIOUS GW FIELD
Strength in Numbers
One of the most basic military strategies of all time with its roots stretching way before humanity even existed.
Even simple minded beasts of old who knew nothing of complex strategy understood that outnumbering the enemy was a good thing.
Even an incompetent army can win against a professional as long as they had the numbers to make up the difference in skill.
This was what Shiro's group was hoping to emulate.
They boldly walked straight into the GW field because they knew that crossing the boundary would instantly reveal their location. At the moment, there was no point in hiding.
At the front of the pack was the armor clad Mordred. Since he was the only Saber in the group, the role as Vanguard was naturally entrusted to him.
Close behind was Hellel, the Archangel of Pride. Her unique Dual Class combination of Berserker and Caster alongside her heavy armor made her the group's strongest melee attacker.
A bit ways back and at the middle was Shiro. With the ability to fight efficiently at any range and with a wide arsenal of defensive NPs, Shiro was perfect for reinforcing all sides if the need arises.
Near Shiro were Astolfo and Morgan.
While both were relatively weak compared to the others, both of them had abilities that formed the core of this particular strategy. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the success or failure of this offensive lied 50% on Morgan, 25% on Astolfo's ability to keep Morgan alive, and the last remaining 25% was split with the rest of the party.
Right behind them was David whose main job was fire support. While his NP lacked the stopping power, it was the perfect against the beasts with extremely tough exterior. The ability to make a Kraken flinch when it could easily shrug off an Excaliblast was an enviable ability.
He was truly the David in the David-VS-Goliath story.
And last but not the least was the unseen assassins Zayd and Jack.
While the 2 entered with the group, they immediately disappeared after a few steps into the GW field.
While they had absolutely no means of fighting the massive beasts, the 2 assassins were Plan B in the group's overall strategy. With the threat of a mysterious 3rd enemy that may be so much worse than the Dragon or Kraken, a backup plan and a backup plan for the backup plan was necessary.
Announcing the presence of the Zayd and Jack to the enemy and suddenly disappearing was something of a psychological attack. Nothing was more terrifying and mentally draining than an attack that you know was coming but cant tell when exactly it would come.
Aside from that, the Assassins served two more purposes.
What were these purposes?
Let's save that for Chapter 12. No need spoil the plot so early in the game.
The normally calm and relaxed atmosphere the group normally had was nowhere to be seen. In its place were dagger like gazes and the stiff readiness for battle.
The group was silent because they knew their opponents were not to be trifle with. The Dragon and the Kraken were bad enough, but the presence of a third attacker has put them on edge.
Even the blabber mouth Astolfo who has never been inside this GW field was silent because of the tense atmosphere.
One thing Astolfo did though was to steal looks at Shiro and blush as he looked away. A clear sign of a maiden in love.
Naturally, the ever vigilant Shiro knew of this but pretended not to notice.
"Mwahahaha! That's it Astolfo! Follow you maiden heart! The flags I have raised on you are many and you know it! Resist not the call of lust! Spread thy legs at allow my Excalibur into your Avalon! MWAHAHAHAHA"
Shiro was literally laughing all the way to the bank.
Astolfo's role as a genki maid that would at the receiving end of large amounts of erotic R18 scenarios from his masters (Shiro and Hellel) was all but assured.
As if they were thinking the same thing, Hellel gave Shiro the thumbs up when their eyes met.
With an evil grin, a silent message was sent between the two.
All was going according to plan.
Anyways, back to the situation at hand.
The massive flood created by Shiro's Poseidon's Trident was nowhere to be seen. As you'd expect of such a powerful GW field, it has returned the mountains and valleys into its most beautiful state.
If it wasn't for the atmosphere of doom and gloom, this would have been an amazing nature trek. The temperature and the abundance of shade giving trees also made this forest an ideal spot for a picnic.
The group entered a big clearing in the middle of the forest, and boy were they shocked at the group that was waiting for them.
3 figures stood in the middle of the clearing. The Dragon and the Kraken were as menacing as ever.
However, what terrified the group the most was the presence of one of the most famous person in the GW scene.
With a respectable bow, the most terrifying being within this GW field greeted them.
"I greet you brave brothers and sisters. I am Karna Vasusena, Son of the Sun God and I welcome you all to this battlefield. Show me your mantle and unleash your strength!"
Karna summoned his massive spear and charged at the group. Following his lead, the Dragon and the Kraken began unleashing holy hell upon their enemies.
Before Shiro's group could complain to the Gods of this unfair circumstance, the most violent Battle for Porn that would shake the world (over exaggeration here) started out with a really loud bang.
