We climbed the steps of the mountain, slowly making our way up. Once the guest house was in view, we were completely mesmerized by it, a well design cabin with an unobstructed view of the vast sky with the oceans lapping along the shores.
Making our way inside, the house was decked out in light wood grain finishings and stone walls, making it very cozy. Dinner was amazing, with the clansmen serving us at the guest house with freshly made cold buckwheat noodles, and roasted wild chickens, before leaving and bidding us goodnight.
Sagi and I made ourselves very comfortable, lazing and lounging, then she yawned and changed out of her exploration clothes and slipped into the silk white toga and nothing else, hanging off her shoulders barely enough cloth to cover her chest, somehow always managing to hide her nipples.
The tease was excruciating, I had to will every cell in my body to look away and sleep, stealing glances every now and then, before I finally drifted off to sleep.
Short as it was, during our rest unbeknownst to everyone in the ranch, the Legendary class Iron Spaulder Rhino was making its move to escape.
Due to its extreme power, the Alpha demon bulls had to continuously cast subjugation magic in shifts even throughout the night, expected to conduct for 2 straight weeks in order to fully dominate a legend class beast.
However, that night, one of the clansmen was stricken with food poisoning, highly likely due to salmonella from eating undercooked wild chicken. Vomiting and spilling diarrhea nonstop he was excused from the sealing team.
The chief being away, responsibility fell to the senior advisors and with their hands tied unable to find more ancient sigil members other than Minato who is saving his magicubes to aid us in familiarizing tomorrow, they proceeded to tame it with just 9 men.
Such a small gap in power, was enough to break the entire seal wide open, in the middle of the night while everyone's guard was down, it used its magic "Legendary Siege Magic - Castle Fall."
Driving its enlarged charged horn, and reinforced Iron skin to ram through the wider gap between the first and ninth men, goring and ramming them straight into the walls, swinging and spreading blood and innards everywhere.
After easily butchering the two, it turned around readying itself for another charge. The remaining 7 split into two teams, 4 clansmen casting wall defense magic distracting the focus of the rampaging Iron Spaulder Rhino, while 3 focused on attack magic in an attempt to strategically weaken it.
However, the comparable strength difference between them was stark, like how 7 men might be able to stop a tiger, it is unlikely. Taking mere moments to annihilate all the remaining 7 ancient sigil clansmen leaving death and destruction, while it charged through the gate and headed in our direction.
Sagi who was more sensitive, noticed the disturbance and rushed to gear up while shouting at me to wake up, "Yuujirou please wake up, there's trouble nearby I can feel it approaching, the physical pressure, and my muscles twitching, feels familiar like the Legendary class monster we encountered in the sacred training compound.
Just as she said, it had arrived in full force, smashing into the legs of the cabin severely damage it integrity causing the entire house to slant and begin tipping over the edge of the cliff.
"Sagi hold on!" the sound of thick strong timber breaking and creaking, intensifying the situation, moving from column to column trying hard not to slip with the house now at a 45-degree angle, I managed to grab a hold of her and placed her on my back.
Unable to get a further foothold to get out, I held her hands which were tightly wrapped around my neck, "Sagi we are a party now, this means we share and keep each other's secrets right?"
"Of course, Yuujiro, we've taken a soul vow together and if anything, I'm your future betrothed." in that moment we began free falling off the cliff side within the house.
"Good... Overlord Magic..." a heavy condensed magic surging within me. "Universal Time Bending Magic- Chronos Fora!"
Time magicubes like stars exploding into the universe, enveloping its entirety. All atoms stripped of their energy and reintroduced forcing its previous taken path. Just like rewinding a tape on a massive scale. The floor beneath my feat correcting itself allowing me to stand properly.
Excluding us, all the matter rewound back to its original state, reattaching itself, completely reversing the damage on the house, sending the Legendary Iron Spaulders Rhino running backwards several dozen kilometers back to the sacred training compound.
"Release!" the time magic particles now reversing back into me, while I carried her on my back out the window and onto solid ground.
Slightly winded from expanding that much magic on a universal scale as compared to usual.
"Yuujiro you're amazing! Everything even the moon in sky moved back into place."
Panting, "Yes well don't let down your guard yet, in about 15 mins the Iron Spaulders Rhino will be charging here."
Confidently smiling, "now its my turn to protect you!!"
"Eh... actually I'll be fine with just a glass of water..."
Shushing me placing a finger on my lips, "Rest now Sagi of Troy will take care of this."
Unsheathing her mighty sword, a short, curved blade with a sickle-like protrusion, "This is an ancient sword named Harpe! passed down from generations to me."

Closing examining her stats, "Wow Sagi you really are a warrior at heart with such high health and attack not to mention extravagant weapon and armor, you probably could beat that Legendary beast all on your own."
Yes, this right here is the power of MONEY, only wealth can get you ahead this far.

"Quick Sagi! Simultaneously kill all three otherwise the last one to be killed will gain enough stats to reach God Class and it'll be a bigger problem then."
In a full spiral motion like mimicking a full moon, "Sword Saint - Dance of wildflowers". Slicing off the Saber tooth chicken heads clean off, before the blood gushes out like a hose."
Watching in slow motion, as she decapitates the heads, the system rings in my ears updating me since we have partied up, her actions and status changes will be known to me as well.
"Hit...11,600 Damage! ... Hit... 11,600 Damage! ... Hit ... 25,100 Damage...."
Watching hairline cracks form on Harpe, then completely shattering into miniature diamond dust.
"Eh... what kind of shit weapon is that Sagi! it breaks after three hits!"
Sagi shyly looks away "Erm it's not the weapon's fault..."
"What do you mean?... it was then I took a good hard look at her stats again. Oh my god..."
