Chapter 235 The Dragon's Cry 6
A monster's head that spanned over five meters wide with large reptilian eyes looked at Hiro. A low growl came out of the dragon then it faced Gilthunder. Hiro still unsure about whether or not the dragon turned out to be his daughter knew one thing. If Rhyne sent one of her spouse ranks, she wants this beast.
And as Hiro had a bone to pick with her, like a middle school bully; Anything Rhyne wanted, Hiro would fuck up. That's how the world works. He then used [Full Inspect] on Gilthunder only to become terrified at what he saw.

Hiro knew he grew stronger, the ability to massacre monsters left and right gave credence to that fact. At the back of his mind, he believed he could challenge Rhyne and her harem to battle. Didn't he almost beat Artorius? His wives even though they used tricks smashed the living hell out of Max.
Like the first two husbands, Gil had extremely high stats, impressive gear; a ton of skills, runes, and enchantments. What stood out like a sore thumb would be their abysmally low Caliber. Gilthunder only had 2500 SP.
That would be unless he looked at the status effect beside his name
[Shackled] - System User has Stats and Calibers reduced by 9/10 for an agreement to the system.
Reduced by nine parts from ten. That statement made Hiro's blood run cold. Gilthunder only had 10% of his abilities unlocked. The man had 4700 AGI at ten percent. No wonder he felt goosebumps, this fucker could kill dragons at will. Hiro already felt powerful at 3000, how would it feel to have 30,000 points in an attribute?
But that was not why Hiro saw something that absolutely make his hair stand on end. The cold chills felt like the hands of a demon as it gripped his heart.

At first glance, Gilthunder's Regalia section made no sense and it looked like plain gibberish. That is until he tried to make sense of it. And the words he found looked like a message from beyond the grave. One that should be impossible. Something Hiro tried to disprove using his over 3500 points in INT.
In the seemingly inconspicuous string of words, the message he found was as follows.
1 c@N S33 y0U, H1r0. W3Lc0M3 B@CK! D1D Y0U m155 M3 5w3etH3@rT?
'I can see you, Hiro. Welcome back! Did you miss me, sweetheart?'
Only one person called Hiro 'Sweetheart' it was the woman that directly caused his death the last time. The bane of his existence and the most dangerous woman on Valorious. Rhyne Fair Dominii.
'…'
Unable to say anything Hiro froze. The man had a different face, skills, and everything. He hasn't even stepped anywhere near Valor city. How the fuck would Rhyne know he even came back? Changing what people saw on the system's screens is an ability not many knew, Lars had that rare ability thanks to [Eye of Odin].
Due to believing the system never lied, they even used it as their witness, evidence, and source of truth in most cases. But how the hell could Rhyne talk send him a message from the system screen?! Hiro's pulse rapidly rose. Its intensity made the thumping of his heart as loud as explosions. His body grew cold and his palms started to get clammy from sweat.
Hiro then looked around in panic, he used [Full Inspect] on everything and everyone. Trying to find a ghost in the crowds the butcher started believing that Rhyne was already there. The man's eyes darted to everyone who had black hair. And as he went through them the tension in his body slowly started to increase.
'Where is she?! She must be here! Otherwise, that means she can see everything!'
The butcher then toggled between x-ray, Infrared, Nightvision, and all his other skills to find something. Anything that could be linked to Rhyne. Hiro's battle harem noticed the chaotic actions of their husband. A side effect of the domination link came in the form of being able to 'Sense' the state of mind of your partner.
Thus Raylene, Vanessa, Jade, and Tsugumi grew alarmed at the panic in Hiro's link. Tsugumi who knew Gilthunder would notice soon stepped forward and challenged him. "I am Tsugumi Musashi! The dominator of the mercenary battle harem Sword Dynasty. I have been hunting for this monster for a month now. I refuse to yield our quarry to you. Why are you even here anyway?"
While the sword saint distracted the husband of Starfall. Her hubbies all flocked to her side and placed their hands on their weapons in a show of force. Vanessa quickly came to Hiro's side and placed her hands on his heart and head. A wave of Spirit entered both and forcefully calmed down her husband.
The countenance of the man she loved displayed absolute terror. Unsure why Hiro was in such a state, she gestured to Raylene who immediately came to Hiro's side and grabbed his cheeks forcing him to look into her eyes.
"Darling. Have no fear. You are not alone. Whatever you worry about will not come to pass; unlike before we will face it together." The blue-haired empress sent Aura through Hiro's veins and muscles like adrenaline. Hiro felt his body temperature rapidly rising. Bit by bit his mind started to regain its clarity; the fear in his heart slowly melted like ice on a summer day.
The golden irises of his woman sent confidence and affection to his heart. As he looked into her steadfast gaze, he saw naught fear, nor worry, or tension. No. What Hiro saw in Raylene's windows to the soul burned like a burning forge.
Rage.
Rage at the enemy that made her husband cower like a child. His woman tried to hold it in, but she was furious. Anyone who would touch her loved ones deserved to be put to the sword. Chivalry be damned. The empresses in red armor started to undulate Aura in minute amounts.
Perhaps affected by the Aura, even Vanessa started making a mean face, although due to her beauty, she looked like a pouting puppy. Upon seeing their expressions, Hiro started chuckling and gave both a kiss on the cheek and said in one breath. 'Love you.'
Right, Hiro fought the 12,000 monster invasion and used [Full Inspect] on everything. Only Gilthunder's screen had a message. Rhyne does not have access to everything. She could not be omniscient.
It could be just a simple prank. From what he could tell, even after giving [Reverie beyond Hope] to his harem, none of them could see the Regalia section. The man calmed himself down as he felt his logic start to work at full capacity.
'Now, how do we get out of this?'
