First wave

===============One day before the wave==============

Watching the little bundle of joy zipping through trees with a bow in hand, making almost no noise and firing arrows, that hits every enemy, like a machine gun makes me question how she got so good in only a month. She zips back to me with a beautiful smile waiting for her praise as her tail wags furiously behind her.

I reach out and pat her head while whispering sweat praise into her ear. I think I have a problem because I have been using this method to turn her into a happily trained attack wolf. At first, it was training to protect herself during a wave, but it swiftly derailed when she asked for more intense training. Training with a bow, with daggers, with short swords, even with some silenced guns I had in the gate. She told me what she wanted as a reward and I would deliver. She worked hard and start brainwashing herself with promises of praise and head pats.

I brought it to her attention, and she told me that if she has my praise, she would be more than happy to increase the training. She misunderstood my intentions during the talk and thought I wanted to raise her training for the waves, so I stopped trying to correct her in case it backfired and made her work harder.

On the bright side I have a hardworking loyal wolf girl that will only attack on my command or when I am in danger.

Tomorrow the wave will occur when the sun is at its zenith. What she is doing now is just her warm-up. I was able to convince her not to do the whole practice because we need to be prepared for tomorrow. She protested at first, but I started reprimanding her and she hung her head in shame and backed off.

I don't like how I got used to making her listen to my every command, but I am happy to have someone so dedicated to me. Now I worry about if she will convince me to make her a slave. She could start saying how it is the ultimate form of devotion to me and she would love nothing more than to call me master.

After her head pats and sweat whispers of a job well done are finished, we head back and enjoy a nice lunch of monster meat she hunted throughout the week. We both are meat eating animals and go through half a ton of meat each. I know that I eat this much because of my massive tail and plump figure, but where does she store all that meat? I think it all goes to her ears and tail because they just get bigger and fluffier every day.

"Here Sophia, you need more meat on you!", I say handing another plate full of juicy meat that she practically inhales. I want to be able to rest my entire body on her fluffy tail.

After lunch we spend time together chatting and reading books from the gate. I read her magic books and fairy tales because she is a little girl and adores hero stories. She herself wants to be a hero so I can understand.

We wish each other sweet dreams and head to bed early for tomorrow.

==================Day of the wave===================

We wake up and prepare our equipment. I have my gauntlets in their lightning form for wide area damage. Chain lightning for the win! To my right is the little murder floof with her bow to support from the trees.

I created her bow myself by making two short swords and enchanting them into a nice soul bound compound bow. They can separate back into short swords for up close combat. The swords were created from a composite of different soul metals that I synthesized to the perfect ratio for strength and weight. The bow can harness the energy in the air for creating arrows if she ever runs out and it generates them as fast as she can shoot.

Checking the time one minute is left before the wave starts. I prepare the summoning magic and have my haki out to find all tears in the world.

With a flash the will of the world sends us to the nearest tear. My senses lock on every tear besides the one in front of us and the one the other four heroes are gathered at.

"Wait! Why are all the other heroes at one tear? They should spread out and deal with one tear each. Those morons!", I shout in rage at whatever stupidity caused them to concentrate on a single tear. Sophia is shaking her head in disappointment at the other heroes. She was a big fan of the shield hero like other beast people, but this has changed her opinion of the four heroes.

With a flick of my wrist thousands of elementals are summoned around each tear with no hero. There are some under water, so I adjusted the elementals accordingly.

In the army of thousands there are different purposes for each elemental. Some elementals will be for damage dealing, some for preventing monsters from escaping the area and causing havoc in populated areas. There are quite a few that pop up too close to a village for comfort, so there are elementals for healing injured and evacuating civilians if necessary.

Another flick and a barrier is set up around the tear in front of us with no way for monsters to escape. That signaled the start of the massacre.

Sophia hops into the trees and hides her presence before firing a lite hail of arrows into the crowd that has gathered before us. I see the arrows are metal and conductive to electricity. Perfect!

I shoot out my first chain lightning of the day that strikes one arrow and jumps around to the rest. They all hit a monster in the crowd before setting off another round of lightning. About five percent of the gathered crowd was dealt with at once but more monsters come out of the tear to replace them.

This is worse than I expected, but if I wanted to destroy them all in one strike, I could have just used poison magic to create a massive poison cloud and sealed the area with a barrier. I want to give Sophia a chance to be a hero and put her training to the test, so we are doing it the slow way.

I ready some heavy hitting strikes before letting a nice beam of lightning cut through the front of the crowd and paralyze the back. The paralyzed group is finished off with an arrow rain right through their heart.

More concentrated strikes from us end the wave in the area. An army of knights find the barrier and start banging on it to get our attention. We already noticed them because the barrier doesn't trap sound and they weren't trying to be quiet.

I made sure the monsters were dead and the tear was closed before letting down the barrier.

"What the hell happened? Where did the monsters go? What about the tear in the sky? Why did it end so fast?", he already knew what happened, but it's unbelievable.

Two girls, one which looks no older than ten, destroyed thousands of monsters that were much stronger than most soldiers in their army.

Sophia went up to the soldier, who I now recognize as the local viscount, and started explaining how her village tried to tell him about the gauntlet hero that was summoned by the world itself to stop the waves. His expression went paler with every world Sophia said. He feared upsetting a hero that could obliterate his entire army because of his incompetence. He walked up to me, before bowing and shouting, "I'm so sorry!". He was a good person, so I didn't hold it against him. Anyone that is willing to face danger with their own army is a good person in my book.

"I don't hold it against you. I would be suspicious as well if there was a fifth hero, but history only told of four.", I calmed him down before discussions started about meeting at his castle and meeting with the royal family at a later date.

We parted ways and I teleported back home with Sophia. The monster corpses would be earning a place in my gate, after they were repaired with restoration magic. Whole monster corpses sell for a lot, but I am going to save them for testing alchemy knowledge I have in the Gate of Babylon.

Once we got home it was time for Sophia's favorite part of the day, head pats and praise.
