Jei didn't say anything and created small darts that now had high RPMs and flew at the speed of sound. Tsugumi who tried to block them felt the power behind the projectiles. One of her caliber swords broke when it couldn't stop the darts.
Suddenly a man covered in Aura armor tumbled through the walls as he crashed into them. A red knight with glowing hair chased after him as she roared in bloodlust. "Is that the best you can do Son of Standar? Caelum would be mortified his lineage has produced nothing but cowards!"
Raylene then proceeded to continually attack Aurum as he tried to get up. One of his legs no longer worked as it got bent in the wrong direction. Tsugumi sent Caliber swords to support him but the warrior in red armor shattered them with a couple of blows.
Tsugumi vomited blood as her soul got damaged. Yet, before she could recover a body suddenly fell into the ground beside her. It was Lars. The man no longer had eyeballs and had black veins all over his body. His legs ended at the knees and his right arm got separated at the shoulder. He wheezed and gasped as his lungs no longer functioned properly.
Geo who woke up, separated from Tsugumi and brought his sword to bear against the empresses.
The sword saint felt her heart break at the injuries of her hubby. She quickly embraced the pitiful man and murmured in a soft voice. "I am here Lars, you are okay now. I won't let them hurt you anymore."
Soon, Raylene kicked Aurum towards Tsugumi, his condition just as bad with multiple missing limbs and stabs that barely missed his heart. The woman in red armor arrogantly strutted as her body started to gain a red outline.
"Tsugumi, you need better men, these fuckers are just weak. What sort of garbage bin did you find the pieces of shit in? Can they even satisfy you?"
Vanessa, who now had an almost ethereal body stood on top of a lamppost and said in a dull voice. "Why is she even with them? Why do we even need to get revenge for her? Who cares about some orphan Hiro-sama adopted from who knows where. This is all so troublesome. Can't we just kill them all and be over with?"
Jade approached them with a carpet of frost while chastising them. "Tsugumi is husband's sister, watch yourselves. I so enjoyed seeing her cry though, I had to watch my entire family burn. Maybe I can return the favor, I wonder how it feels like to murder her men in front of her fufu~"
Tsugumi started to cry at what she heard. All three women had glowing eyes and blazing hair covered in lights. Who were these people? They were not her sisters. They only wore their faces but their very natures couldn't be more different. Yet with both Lars and Aurum out of commission and Geo barely able to stand. This play has officially gone FUBAR.
Yet, an unlikely source of help came to her rescue. A black dragon suddenly landed over Tsugumi and roared a loud bellow. The very air trembled at the sound of its mighty shout. Yet the three empresses didn't even flinch.
"Jei, Nessa who the hell is this fucker suppose to be again? The curse Jei made us drink is acting up. Can I kill this overgrown piece of leather? I want to make a handbag out of it."
"Zombie, you are rushing it. I think this should be husband's daughter or something. Let's fuck it up. I want to see Husband cry in sorrow as this thing bleeds to death."
"Why do I have to do something so bothersome? Can't we just let Starfall take it down instead? Like I care what happens to Hiro. My head hurts, can I go now?"
Tsugumi felt helpless, what the hell was going on? They were just supposed to make a play and act right? Why are her hubbies on the verge of death, and why are her sister's in law acting crazy? And where the hell is her brother?
[Tsugumi]: NII-SAMA! NII-SAMA! NII-SAMA! WHERE ARE YOU! PLEASE HELP ME!!
Unable to harm her family, as her wounds increased by the minute, Tsugumi felt desperate. Geo hardly had the power to stop Raylene and got bashed to the ground. She then grabbed his arm and violently ripped it apart.
"You don't need this anymore right fuck boi? You can hardly wield a sword anyway."
"AHHHHHH! TSUGU! TAKE LARS AND AURUM AND RUN!" despite being mutilated Geo cared not for his own circumstances and shouted for Tsugumi to leave.
Meanwhile, the dragon, who got slashed by a shadow that moved as fast as the wind cried in pain. Jade summon spells that imploded the monster's insides. Soon even the monster fell to the ground. Tsugumi panicked at what was happening and froze in place.
Why?! Why did her family start to want to murder each other?! She loved her sisters-in-law very much. She wanted to get revenge for her hubbies but she was too busy defending Lars and Aurum who were still unconscious.
Hardly anyone was present as Hiro annihilated the buildings, and the royal guard quickly evacuated the people who got stuck in the debris. Tsugumi felt alone. Her unease and fear soon manifested themselves. The sword saint felt weak in the knees and fell to the ground.
'Why am I scared? I have been on countless life-and-death battles! I did so many horrible things why do I feel so terrified of death now!'
Geo eventually got kicked by Raylene toward's Tsugumi. The sword saint placed Lars to the ground and quickly caught the torso of her hubby. The son of Renacida lacked any limbs as they were brutally torn off by the lunatic in red armor. As Tsugumi felt the heartbeat of her hubby she understood.
'Ah. I am scared to die because unlike before I want to live. With Aurum, Geo, and Lars. With Nii-sama and my Onee-samas. I have so much to lose now, of course, I will feel scared. Is this what Nii-sama feels all this time?'
For the first time since being born, Tsugumi felt despair. Before, she only hid in the face of danger. She did not care if she lived or died. But now the terror she felt made her teeth clatter and her spine grew cold.
Like a child, the sword saint broke down. Strangely [One with Sword] didn't activate. Her usual mental crutch did not help her thus she was forced to deal with it herself. Tsugumi hugged Geo's torso and started to heal him. But her mind started to grow weak from all the damage she had received.
Without [One with Sword], Tsugumi used to run from all her problems; now had to deal with the situation firsthand. 'This feeling, this is how one loses all hope. Nii-sama I'm scared… please help me… I don't want my hubbies to die.'
But then, Raylene placed her weapon over her head as massive amounts of Aura congregated. "My pussy is getting itchy, I will slice off this dragon's head and fuck darling's brains out. I don't give a crap what you two do afterwards."
Vanessa then vanished and reappeared in front of the trembling Tsugumi. "Then I will take out the trash. Little girl, you do not deserve to be part of our family. Die." The strider's short swords glowed green as a vortex of wind appeared.
Jade looked to the skies and just made a psychotic smile. "Let's just all die here why bother trying to struggle?! HAHAHAHAHA!"
