Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

'Can never be wrong? What kind of brainwashing is going on here? Does the battle harem system affect even logic and reasoning once bound? I better not stick so close to her.'

Resolving to stay away from the woman Hiro then looked around and noticed apart from him and Rilu almost everyone already boarded the carriages. And for the record, it was a sky carriage like Nessa guessed. Four-wheeled vehicles were present which seemed to be pulled by five pegasi or winged horses each.

One of the devoted shouted to Rilu and quickly returned to the lead one. The woman then faced Hiro as she said.

"Hiro-sama, the seating arrangements have changed, instead of separating evenly, they placed all the luggage in the last one. Only you and I will be on it seems. They told me the rationale allowed the other three carriages can serve as assault platforms with six people each."

"Should there be another person with us? Including you, there should be 20 devoted right?"

Rilu then thumped her fist as she only now remembered. "Oh him? I executed that man this morning due to desertion. Because of my skill, I was tasked by her highness to uphold order. He grew scared at the thought of fighting the dragons and attempted to run away. If you have no further questions shall we go Hiro-sama?"

The young girl then opened the door and reached out her hand.

"Wasn't she your ally? How can you so casually execute one of your comrades." Without missing a beat Rilu then spoke with a frigid voice as she responded. "Anyone who goes against Rhyne-sama's orders should be bisected without mercy. Abandoning the task given to him is the same as spitting on Rhyne-sama's face. As her devoted, I am the scythe that culls her enemies."

Returning to her original demeanor, she then boarded the carriage and tapped the spot next to her. "Enough about him, come in Hiro-sama, let me tell you about how wonderful Rhyne-sama is."

The transmigrator could not help but think, 'Devoted indeed…'

As the carriages flew to their destination, the marvel of the landscape passed by Hiroyuki's eyes. Majestic mountains, lush valleys, and pristine oceans, the scenery showed the beauty of Valorious. Rilu who saw the face of Hiro couldn't help but comment.

"Hiro-sama, your facial expressions are so adorable. Like a kid who saw the world for the first time."

the transmigrator who had grown annoyed being told the same thing repeatedly smiled wryly and instead diverted the conversation to another topic.

"So I have been told, on another note Rilu, while I am innocent, your respect for me is too much, why do you always add Sama, are you familiar with Japanese culture?"

Rilu then had her eyes open wide in excitement. "I AM VERY MUCH FAMILIAR WITH JAPANESE CULTURE!" noticing her panting, the young devoted tried to control herself and spoke in a calmer voice.

"Ehem, Please forgive me I lost myself in a bit. As a devoted follower of Valorious history, I have the utmost respect for transmigrators like Hiro-sama. My respect for you is because of their contributions to the founding of this world. Japanese culture was spread by the Emperor and the Saviors. Only those who have direct lines to them or study history would be familiar with Japanese."

Hiro who heard new terms inquired further. "Saviors? Who are they? Why would being linked to them allow one to be familiar with Japanese?"

Rilu then looked towards the window and spoke in a solemn voice. "Heavens, please let me thank you for allowing me to meet Hiro-sama. Grant give me wisdom so I can show him the glory of the saviors correctly."

The transmigrator who heard her quiet prayer started to remember pushy salesmen or con artists on earth. 'So that's why no one wanted to ride with her, they already knew how she is when she gets excited. This will not be a boring flight then.'

"HIRO-SAMA! I WILL NOW TELL YOU ABOUT THE SAVIORS! Please pay attention I will quiz you later!"

'Good grief, isn't this like meeting a die-hard fan of a franchise? Well, I was interested anyway.'

Rilu, drank a lot of water in exaggerated gulps and comically pulled out tables, picture, and scrolls from somewhere and laid it all out in the carriage.

"Hiro-sama the Saviors was a group of nine beings who surpassed the limits of humanity. Before the age of Saviors, the Valorious continent went by another name. It was once called the Cradle of Demons."

Rilu then pulled out a map and pointed to a map that had markers placed all over it.

"Hiro-sama this is what the continent once looked at as the Cradle of demons. To put it simply, each marker on this map was a demon lord. Seventy-two of them waged war on one another in a never-ending cycle of bloodshed and destruction.

"Humans and all other life back then were little more than livestock and toys for the demons. A wise unknown sage made a prophecy, four beings from another world will be sent to the Cradle of Demons as heroes that will end the turbulent times.

"The demons who learned of the prophecy started to massacre humans by the thousands. When all hope seemed lost four beings from Earth arrived on this continent. Their original names have been kept from the general public for confidentiality but immediately upon arriving they brought power surpassing the rest of humanity."

Hiro who had an amazed face couldn't help but comment. "Holy shit! and I thought I had it rough."

Rilu who was in preaching mode ignored the transmigrator and continued, her eyes lit with a zeal unique only to religious fanatics.

"Dius Valorious, Effrin Gracyeanor, Tian Alabarda, and Leonidas Dominii the four transmigrators took on new names as they fought against the forces of darkness. Their battles became the beacon of hope for the continent and they waged war without rest for over 20 years. Growing in strength they liberated city after city. Managing to kill demon lord after demon lord.

"Eventually they liberated the Eternal paradise and the Dragon's lair. The strongest fairies since time memorial the Eternity Sisters joined them. Alongside the sisters came Ethan Dragonblood the most powerful dragon lord ever born from the race's last survivors. The unknown sage also made himself known and assisted them, he called himself Verathragna.

"Historians commented that the death of the demon lords gave the continent the power to fight back. The Eternity sisters and Dragon lord Ethan became the land's answer to the injustice she suffered.
