Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword



"BBlech!"

The sounds of vomiting echoed in the BHR command center. Dylan sat in a chair with Alan and Xing. With the sounds of the merchant hurling his breakfast as background noise, the other people commented on the battles.

Ten magic circles floated like TV monitors that showed what transpired in all ten arenas. The magic circles were arrays that no longer required the presents of mages. Charging them with Mana once a week became the only downside. So for the most part they functioned exactly like a CCTV system.

"Heavens, if I didn't know better I would say master has gone insane. He could have just easily killed everyone there in 1 second. Why does he need to bother with such theatrics."

Xing, the madam of Arcus's kiss hid her disgust by covering her face with a fan. The sheer brutality of Hiro could be seen as beyond demonic and absolutely over the top. Yet Dylan simply answered in a cold tone.

"It is necessary. He is fighting not just this battle but all the ones to come as well."

"Your Highness, how is wiping a group of people with intestines still connected to their owner necessary? Master is absolutely cruel; not only does he look like a lunatic but I am beginning to doubt he even has a shred of humanity!"

Dylan ignored the madam's rebukes and began watching the other arenas. From the Vaginarnis that let loose, the dragonkin who played with her opponents to the absolute tyranny of the sword saint.

If the Prince didn't see them this morning these five women would be listed as the worse criminals in history. Devoid of any remorse, pity, or mercy they murdered the combatants by the hundreds.

What worried the crown prince however lay not in their mentality but in their power. No matter how powerful a pet was the possibility of it going rogue should not be discounted.

Dylan in paranoia used [Tactical Forecasting] to pit Gae-bolg against Heavenly Sword. And the results were— disastrous.

Despite his own battle harem winning, Gae-bolg would be annihilated. Like most battle harems Dylan did not have a submissive above the rank of a spouse.

Thus even if he had stats of over 100,000 only ten percent of that came to his wives. But the power of the Heavenly Sword battle harem grew so much in under a year.

The gap between them was narrowing at a speed that turned Dylan's blood cold. This could not be explained by anything other than Hiro's submissives being at Lord or Overlord rank.

Currently, most battle harems operated with a 70/30 rule. The dominant would represent 70% of the combat potential while 30% to the subs.

Heavenly Sword and Sword Dynasty however went as high as 60/40 even 50/50! Hiro's less than eight submissives held more combat potential greater than the entirety of Gae-bolg.

'Why would he do such a great gamble? It seems insane. If even one of them died the damage to Hiro would be catastrophic!'

Due to the Affection life cycle, the intrinsic and extrinsic passing on of stats between dom and sub is like a double-edged sword. You get stronger from your people. Thus if one assassinated them a dom could possibly become weakened to the point of getting crippled.

'Only use links you could afford to lose. Even my father said so. Not many know but if a dominator loses all his links he dies. Thus only fools use the entire 100%.'I think you should take a look at

A dominator link only returns if the dom revokes it. If the sub dies they carry it with them to the grave. NTR became the only way to gain a link once submissives begin to die.

It became normal for doms to revoke links seconds before their subs die. These cold-hearted decisions allowed the dominator to remain unharmed.

'Why does he build his Battle harem like this? Is such a decision spun by desperation? How much power does he intend to amass? What could push a man to go to such lengths?'

"If it's master, it must have some underlying meaning. He does not murder for the sake of murder. Hiroto Musashi is a cold and calculative madman. As a master, he is difficult to follow but I cannot imagine him as an enemy." Alan who looked pale returned to his seat beside his woman.

Xing unable to comprehend the decision of Heavenly Sword complained in disgust. "I still cannot understand why such a depraved show of barbarism is required! A mere show of overwhelming force is enough!

"Look! Even Ryuuka is using the heads of people as bullets! Lady Vanessa is skinning people alive! Lady Raylene is ripping people's spines and using them as whips! Why in the world would they need to do this? Please explain it to me!"

Dylan then answered curtly as continued watching the massacres happening. "Rhyne appears as the saint, yet she does not reign in the evildoers despite having the power to do so. Hiro decided to become the opposite. He painted himself a demon that would brutalize anyone who fails to meet his standards.

"Irrelevant to if he could do that outside of the law, the more unbelievable his victory the farther his name will spread. Instead of showing his hands to shock people, he conservatively has his harem keeping all their core skills a secret.

"Right now they are achieving the same impact as if they used SSS skills. After the 9 AM matches, they would be all anyone would talk about."

Alan then added as he drank a glass of water. "The prince is correct. Publicity, coming from either fame or infamy works in exactly the same way. Rather than clean victories by applying such displays everyone who hears the words of Master now how as bias implanted in their minds."

The merchant began counting using his fingers. "First, the fear of Master would naturally scare everyone into compliance. Like law enforcement, he now becomes a symbol everyone wishes to avoid. Second, by targeting only scum he placates those that have been wronged by them and gains credibility.

"Third, as Master does not intend to stay anywhere everyone would be on their toes; earning the ire of such a demon would cause most kingdoms to behave in the short term. Fourth, the most direct is that his lunacy can be used as a cover for assassinating the crown princess's forces."

Smug about his analysis Alan began watching the other matches only to feel his stomach going wild once more. To calm himself he looked at the only arena where Heavenly Sword did not participate in. Its matches look were beyond pathetic in comparison to the other nine.

"You forgot one more thing." The crown prince added. When both Alan and Xing focused on him, he continued. "He turned himself into the benchmark of humanity and will create a massive arms race."

After a few seconds, Xing stood up in surprise. "You aren't serious! Then these battles are to scare the entire world to chase after the apocalypse zone materials!

"I mean it makes sense, in their fear of the master more battle harems will train and buy gear. The influx of spending and training theoretically would increase humanity's power as a whole but isn't that kind of far fetch?!"

Dylan smiled as he reminded the woman of a couple of facts she missed. "I am not so sure if case you forgot Madam Xing. Your so-called master never sleeps and has an INT of over 39,000. Unlike me though, he doesn't use his brain power to monitor entire countries. What do you think he spends it on?"
