First Rapier King - End of War - Third Party Interference - Arrival of a Presence

A few minutes earlier, Philip watched everything that transpired on the surface of Saykrandae from start to finish

He watched as Braudain dominated the goblins, Lenard and Povia's teamwork against millions of demon hounds and wolves, Dantall's slaughter against the succubus army, Cleo and Gorde's overwhelming power against the sea army and titan army, and the struggling human army inside the settlement

He also saw the army of dragons and the large body of the flying hydra wyvern hybrid that had cracks and lava across its body. He also witnessed the surviving Demon Generals and he was impressed after seeing the Devil Titan. It was like seeing a certain anime but more scarier looking

After the battle in each sides of the settlement, only one side caught his attention and his senses was tingling as his golden eyes flashes repeatedly

It was at the west side, particularly Braudain. The other five companions of the Legendary Warrior are decent and their powers are amazing, but he felt like he needed to save Braudain

"Sword Concept: Atomic Decimation"

An uncountable number of invisible sword waves flew towards Braudain and cut the undead goblin and undead Goblin Menace into dust, rendering them unable to reconstruct and revive

He then continued to watch the war while he's controlling the Fate of Saykrandae as a whole. He watched as Lenard and Povia get brutally slaughtered, Cleo being mutilated, and Gorde making his heroic sacrifice after seeing his cherished loved one die in front of his eyes

But Gorde's sacrifice was in vain since there are still five Demon Generals alive and Polem was obliterated by the beam of light coming from the core of Saykrandae and became unconscious. His impenetrable Ice Sanctuary cracked from being hit by the beams of light

He was also impressed by Dantall's power and he was shocked after seeing the blue light that seemed to take away his berserk powers. He followed the light and his golden eyes flickered once more

He needed to protect that ruined room in the castle, where Corleona, Clara, Braudain, and Viz are sitting. He felt a kind of Sword Energy emanating from the room and it was very dense. It came from Corleana with the Rapier Energy and the tip of her rapier aiming at Diaphthorá. He could also feel a strange signature of Mana circling around the rapier

~~~

When Polem declared that her next attack will be the last struggle of humanity, Corleona was alarmed and she needed to use her power as a Rapier Grandmaster to at least hurt Diaphthorá

"Whenever I used my Ultimate Skill, I want you to exert your full power as the Rapier Grandmaster and injure Diaphthorá. I want to take him down with me and the Sacred Mana in your rapier is the key for his weakness"

Polem told Corleona personally before the war

The Sacred Lake was brimming with power, positive energy, and Divine Energy that it weakens Diaphthorá just by going near it. Diaphthorá once received a fatal wound from Lenard when they accidentally came to the Sacred Lake. The Archdemon Blood saved him and they escaped

The reason as to how the Sacred Lake is by sacrficing hundreds and millions of demons and throwing them into the lake. This made the lake become contaminated with Demonic Energy and eventually, the lake became tainted and lost its sacred property. Fortunately, the lake did not become a Demonic Lake and Diaphthorá needed to sacrifice over tens of billions of demons to achieve that but he couldn't afford to do so

By then, the power of the Sacred Lake was lent to Corleona, who has the Sacred Mana Rapier and Sacred Mana Amulet, making her as strong as Polem's companions and made her choose to be a warrior than the next king of the kingdom

Corleona lifted her rapier and placed it on her left shoulder while holding it with her right hand, her left hand is placed on his back in an elegant manner

Corleona then fell into an abyss of concentration that not even the rumbles and tremors of the world distracted her. She wasn't fazed by the beams of light and Polem's body being obliterated by one

All is in her mind is to hit Diaphthorá with her Rapier Energy through the small hole in the wall and at least deal a mortal wound on him and not let Polem's sacrifice be in vain

Her blue eyes became as deep as the abyss and the Rapier Energy bursted around her body. Her clothes of white jeans, white blouse, and short blue blazer fluttered from the energy. The Sacred Mana was being released from the core of the rapier and slowly flowed around the rapier to wrap it

The rapier became Sacred Mana itself. Rapier Aura covered the rapier and Rapier Energy swirled around the rapier in a swirling tornado. Gusts of sharp winds was being released from her that made Clara, Braudain, and Viz cover their faces

It was then that Corleona entered a place in the abyss of concentration. She walked around only to see nothing until she saw a faint light in the distance. She quickly went towards it

As Corleona came closer, she saw a symbol of the sword and a blue colored crown. The symbol of the sword is hovering above the crown and she reached for the crown with her palm

She then heard a voice echo in her mind

「 The one and only being that has the Rapier Mastery in the universe? Interesting! 」

The crown then flashed and Corleona entered stasis mode, where she couldn't move at all. The crown then appeared above her head and attached itself on her head

「 You're the first being in existence to become a Rapier King. You'll be the next in line of order on rapiers 」

The crown then shook after noticing the symbol of the sword floating and twisting in front of them

「 The Stigma of the Sword is in our presence. Very well, I'll accept it's humble assistance and help you in your goal just this once. Tell me, what is your desire right now? 」

Time temporarily stopped for Corleona and her thought began to rapidly run

Her desire at this moment changed and varied. Some of her desires were to injure Diaphthorá, protect Clara, help Polem, accept death in the losing war, dominate Diaphthorá, kill Diaphthorá, turn back time, and many more

But one desire was more apparent than the others. She stuck to her dear friend, Polem, and her request earlier. To deal a fatal or mortal wound on Diaphthorá, so he will go down with Polem along with her self-destruction

What fatal or mortal wound is best to deal to Diaphthorá, who is a Demon Lord and a very powerful being?

"Soul Piercer!!!"

This is how Corleona's personal technique came into fruition

Time resumed for Corleona's mind and she was quickly sucked back into reality. A massive amount and wave of energy and Sacred Mana is swirling around her. It's enough to demolish the castle they were standing on, just from the intense energy waves

As the energy and Sacred Mana became denser and denser, Corleona pushed her right arm and thrusted her rapier toward the small hole in the wall and towards Diaphthorá. As the energy and Sacred Mana left the rapier, the rapier shattered and exploded on Corleona's hand and she stepped backwards fromvthe blast. Severe struggle became apparent on her face

Rapier Energy and Sacred Mana fused together while carrying the concept and Literallity of Soul Piercer with it

The energy went through the hole and into Diaphthorá. Soul Piercer pierces the soul, which means that it affected the target's soul. It made Diaphthorá unable to move despite seeing the attack from a mile away

In that moment, a powerful wave of energy pierced Diaphthorá. There was no hole or blood, his soul was severely damaged, especially since that he was also hit by Sacred Mana and his soul became tainted

"GAAAGHKAA"

Diaphthorá exclaimed in intense pain. He didn't coughed out blood but he felt severe itch inside of his body, in his soul. The staff on his left hand shattered and the red glowing orb fell to the ground, to the cracks, and deep into the lava and beam of light

Diaphthorá landed on the ground and fell on his knees. He suddenly felt intense exhaustion wash over him

The four Demon Generals, except for the Monarch Lich, became incredibly furious and focused their attention inside the castle. The Monarch Lich didn't react at all because he never wanted this war in the first place, he was forced by Diaphthorá and since Diaphthorá has his soul broken, rendering him unable to harm his heart and his loved one, he decided to not act and provide aid to the other Demon Generals

「 Congratulations on becoming the Rapier King. You're on your own now. Cultivate your Rapier Potential to reach higher heights that no one has reached before. Goodbye 」

The crown's voice echoed for the last time in Corleona's head. It was then that the Devil Titan ripped the roof of the castle apart to look down on them. The Volcano Hydra Wyvern also peeked its three head in the opening and the Ancient Dullahan came running down with its armored steed while wielding a ridiculously wide sword

The Archdemon Blood is the most furious as arcs of blood and blood splatters bursted around him as he dashed towards Corleona and the others. His face is distorted and the light of his yellow-red eyes was leaving a blur

Clara became fearful and kneeled down while holding the Pol's Inheritance Ring on her right hand with her left hand that's equipped with the Proto-Gauntlet of Magic Transference

Corleona kneeled down and hugged Clara to protect her with her back facing the Archdemon Blood. Braudain is laying down on the floor while holding his injuries and Viz is already panicking with the floating diamond crystal above her right palm

"KIYAAAAAAK"

The Archdemon Blood screeched as he neared the group. Corleona and the others closed their eyes tightly to brace for their death

A few second has passed, nothing happened. They opened their eyes and looked above

They saw the Archdemon Blood, as well as the other Demon Generals, looking up at the sky

What they saw is a giant violet spear emanating violet light and releasing massive bursts of energy beyond the sky, particularly in space. The spear is big enough to be seen from the surface

The Demon Generals were confused and only watched, the same as the Corleona's group. Diaphthorá let his body fall on his back to look what was in the sky

"Goddess Sai... So... You came back... I... Wonder why..."

The naked and unconscious Polem regained consciousness and managed to slightly open her eyes to look at the sky with the gisnt spear because he felt Sai's Divine Energy

"Goddess Sai... I did good in protecting the world... Right?"

Polem and Diaphthorá sighed deeply. They know the war is over and the humans won

Or is what they think it is

The giant violet spear doesn't seem to be coming down on the surface, rather it was being thrown around, thrusted, and swung in a fast and forceful manner

It was then that there are specks and specks of black dots appearing across the clear sky. A few seconds later, the specks became larger and everyone could make out what they look like

They look like alien spaceships, but to the residents of Saykrandae, they see chunks of metal, containing massive amounts of raw energy, falling from the sky because they don't know the existence of aliens and the kind of technology they have

It was then than the sky light up as an uncountable amount of energies with a shape of a droplet rained unto the surface. The alien spaceships shot their energy blasters and cannons unto the ground, aiming for every moving species with the goal of killing them

Bigger spaceships then came crashing down on the ground and a drilling sound was heard as the bigger spaceships drilled into Saykrandae's crust and mantle. The number of these bigger spaceships number about more than a hundred

The Devil Titan tried to smack these metal chunks but the motherships seemed to take care of him and managed to push him down. It was the same for the Volcano Hydra Wyvern as multiple alien destroyers aimed for it

The Ancient Dullahan was getting beat up because he can't do anything against fast and flying enemies

The Archdemon Blood was doing work but he occasionally gets exploded but he immediately recovered

The Monarch Lich was unfazed because these alien spaceships couldn't do a thing to him since he's immortal. They needed to destroy his heart or kill his loved one to kill him, which Diaphthorá hid somewhere unknown

Corleona and her group's faces were filled with dread. Another threat came to them and the demons seemed to be their enemies

Polem and Diaphthorá closed their eyes. They felt sorrow as the war seemed to be not over yet because there was a third party interference

They could only wait for what Fate will lead them to

Several seconds later, everyone except for the aliens were alarmed again after sensing a powerful presence, different from Goddess Sai's aura

They searched for the souce of this presence and they saw a person wrapped in yellow light hovering above the sky. The being had black-yellow hair and his eyes were glowing golden. The being's body is wrapped in strange white lines and an strong Sword Energy can be felt from him

The residents of Saykrandae was not sure if the being is a friend or foe but the alien armada considered him as an enemy

So, they shot their energy blasters and cannons towards him. Smoke and vapor surrounded the being and the alien spaceships that were shooting stopped and move on, claiming that the enemy was taken down

But the residents of Saykrandae had their eyes wide open because after the smoke and vapor dissipated, they could see streaks and random shapes of a red colored liquid surrounding him like broken shield, which fully protected him

The being snapped his left fingers and a heavy wave of energy swept through the area and land. The spaceships that shot at him was shattered and cut into pieces while a few alien destroyers and motherships were disabled

Everyone was shocked, especially the Archdemon Blood, after seeing the red liquid that surrounded the being

Just then, everything around everybody was filled with white light as the planet itself reach critical point and released light due to the Disaster Energy circulating inside the core. Gravity was shifted and turned off and everything and everyone dettached from the ground and floated in the air

The being then quickly moved and appeared in front Corleona and her group
