Versatile: Alternate World



All five of them stood up, but none felt threatening, which I am aware of. Perhaps because I have faced much more troublesome foes but they are a bit...weaker than I thought. I have fought their monster variants before in the past timeline and they are very strong. Right now, I don't think they have their monster variants just yet. After all, back when they have their monster variants, they are already transformed from their human forms and according to them, they cannot go back to being a human after throwing those identities away a few months ago.

These guys have yet to perform the ritual as this is an attack much earlier before the official date the battle should have begun.

I thought only I realized this. But it seems Queen Tori and Queen Tanya also did.

"Hey, I thought they were the strongest, why does it seem like they are weaker than the people we fought downstairs? You think you can fool us by sending cannon fodders like these? You mocking us?!"

The samurai guy didn't like how Queen Tanya is mocking the shogun. He make a swift slash and teleported behind Queen Tanya before sheathing his katana back to the sword sheath.

I was expecting Queen Tanya to be wounded by that...but nothing... It didn't do anything and we are left wondering what happened. Seeing no reaction, he looked behind and saw Queen Tanya rubbing her neck.

"Was that it? Are you sure you have maintained that katana as sharp as possible? Because this is not even something that can pierce my skin," Queen Tanya faces the samurai while holding the broken blade of his katana which he just put back on the sheath.

"What?!" the samurai was surprised and pulled out his katana, which is now broken as half part of the blade now missing and only a little bit of it remains.

"I don't know how you got so confident in trying to cut me when even your sword is not enough to harm me."

Queen Tanya then throws the blade back to the samurai, but it was fast enough that it acted like a knife being thrown that the samurai who is still shocked from the broken sword was immediately killed when the katana blade embedded itself into his neck, causing him to choke on his blood and die while bleeding on his wound.

The other four were shocked but they immediately assumed a battle stance, seeing how their comrade died so fast.

"See? This is pretty odd. I don't know whether you are telling us that this is your real powerhouse but I am disappointed since you still think we are weak. These guys do not pose any kind of threat to us."

The shogun is clearly pissed but he decided to be calm to show to his followers that he is not afraid of us but it was clear he's already panicking.

"Hmph, then show me whether you all are bluffing. Attack them!" he ordered the remaining four before looking at the bard beside him and nodding. The bard also nodded before playing a song.

Automatically, the song immediately got silenced and the remaining sounds we can hear are the voices of us and the sounds of the weapons clanging.

"We should finish this as soon as possible. I don't want to make this battle take too long to be done.

And we fought... or so we thought as we just immediately slayed the four without much problem like they were ordinary civilians given some weapon and they are wielding it for the first time. No, scratch that. Even the civilians are more dangerous and troublesome than them. It was like they got so powered down they lost their power as a result. I am not expecting them to fall like twigs. I didn't even use the Pain Delivery to kill them immediately, they were like, too weakened to do anything dangerous.

The result was not something the shogun expect and he is so furious seeing all of the people he considers as the "elite" of his squadron to die just like that.

"Damn, even the normal soldiers outside are more of a threat than this. Are you sure you didn't instead bring back and keep them to safety because they are the weakest? This is kind of disappointing and I hated it, Shogun," Queen Tanya then points her scythe at him.

"I see. It seems I have indeed made a mistake. Since they all failed, then, I, as a Shogun will see it through to deliver the appropriate punishment necessary for all of you."

He stood up from his seat and the robe he was wearing started to flutter and melt, showing his body. It wasn't muscular or anything, but it is filled with dangerous aura and power that anyone would never think of using. But for me who have seen this before, this is the power of the Shogun in his first phase, which also means this is going to be the final battle.

"Get ready guys, this is the real deal. I can feel we will be dealing with a real baddie this time," I read my Versatile Weapon into its Magic sword form.

"Well, that is great. If that is the case, I will go ahead and fight!"

Queen Tori kept herself silent but she is already readying her talismans and binding seals ready as well.

The Shogun slowly unleashes his power as he walks towards us. His name appeared before us but his HP bar is nowhere to be seen, meaning we will have to fight him without the HP bar visible to us.

The energy on his back started to morph and change into different weapons shapes. Then, he fired them at us like projectiles. I immediately deflected one of them and the moment I did, I felt the heaviness of the weapon trying to overpower me as I successfully removed it out of my way.

I can confirm, this power level is just the beginning. The shogun is the true challenge here and we have yet to see the full extent of his power.

"This act of rebellion will never be forgiven. Die for your sins and die for the people of Kamikaze!"
