47. Raiden Shogun's Announcement

After being teleported Ei removed her cloak as she brings out her naginata to block the claymore from decapitating her.

" Good move, to kill the target immediately before it can do anything but only effective if the target is slow to react." Ei praises as she swung her naginata to flung the woman wielding the claymore a few meters away from her.

The woman grins after feeling how strong for the newcomer is to simply push her off away,

" It seems the Goddess has send someone competent, are you her third champion?" she said while observing Ei from top to bottom making her conclude that Ei is the Goddess' minion.

Ei simply shakes her head and says " I am not her champion, the teleportation was hijacked by her and transfer me here. It appears that the Demon army did something that made her resort to this move, am I correct Sophia the dragon slayer?"

" I don't care if your not affiliated with Her but since you came here with that shining golden light that simply means you're our enemy, an enemy I simply have to kill." Sophia grins as she prepares her battle stance while buying time for her partner to arrive.

As Sophia stares sharply at Ei while Ei herself simply stares back, a young boy arrives and calls out to Sophia " You didn't kill her yet Sophia?"

Sophia replies " She would've been dead with my instant attack earlier if she's weak Mitsurugi, don't take her lightly or we're dead."

Mitsurugi looks at Sophia with a "Seriously?" expression and turns to Ei with such bloodlust and says " She's the Goddess secret weapon, we must kill her here and now Sophia."

While the duo are having a battle plan, Ei looks at the direction where Hibiki's fight against Io is located when a large explosion was heard, " Suicide attack to buy time for the Hero of Limia to retreat, this will serve as a drive for her to get stronger-"

Ei blocks another attack of Sophia and swipes her naginata to destroy Mitsurugi's magic attacks in the form of sword blades coming out of the ground, " I still have some time to waste a bit so show me what you both got."

Then Sophia brings out the same ring Io used against the two heroes in order to remove the Goddess' blessing on Ei.

" With that you're now weaker without the Blessing, before we kill you I suppose we deserve to know your name."

Ei replies " It is impolite to ask someone's name without introducing yourself first dragon who pretends to be a little boy."

Ei's words surprised them both and the boy says, " My name is Lancer, but this girl calls me Mitsurugi and this is Sophia who is known as the dragon slayer."

Ei tilts her head " But she didn't killed you, that means that title is fake then."

Sophia gets pissed off from Ei's casual reply, " I'm Sophia and I'm gonna kill you."

and the battle continues as Sophia swings her claymore to strike, block and feints as Lancer/Mitsurugi spams his magic attacks while Ei simply returns in kind as she swings her naginata at Sophia with her own attacks and feints while sending lightning towards the dragon boy.

A little while later the duo are panting and lots of scars on their bodies, Sophia looks at Ei while shouting " What's going on!? I thought this ring did its job!?"

Ei replies, " Your ring did work, on erasing that Goddess' scent. To make it clear, I don't have even a bit of Blessing from her. Im simply fighting you both while supressing my strength to your level, and using pure skills to fight you both. I've wasted enough time, it's time for the second act."

Ei vanishes, surprising Sophia as she asks her partner " Did she ran away?"

Lancer shakes his head as he points up " Be ready Sophia, I fear she will unleash a huge attack considering she only played around us earlier."

And Lancer was correct as not only him and Sophia, but everyone in the battlefield saw as woman with dark purple hair with two giant purple palms serving as her platform, a huge ring and several drums with magatama design on it is attached on her back and on her left side are three purple arms holding different items that represents Lightning, Space and Time. However what everyone is focused on is on Ei's right side, a gigantic purple arm holding a gigantic tachi and everyone not just in the battlefield but also the people of Inazuma are witnessing this event with the cooperation of Tomoe and Mio to broadcast it under the orders of their Master/Mistress.(Raiden weekly boss appears!)

Dark clouds are gathering around her with lightning coiling around it as Ei's voice is heard throughout the battlefield, " I am the Raiden Shogun, and I am no Goddess' summoned hero to make it clear to both sides. I am the Leader and Representative of the Third Faction, a faction that neither sides with Humans nor Demons. We don't care about the conflict between two Factions, but we will take action if any one from the two tries to offend us. And since that Goddess summoned me here to disrupt the Demons, it is counted as an Offence for me and to the Demons as well for attacking me. Therefore both Factions will receive punishment from me, I advice to defend as much as you can. Narukami's Blade!"

" Oh shit, we need to make a strong barrier Sophia! That amount of mana is ridiculous! Just how much of an idiot that Goddess is for sending this monster to us!?" Lancer shouted as the giant arm raised it weapon and suddenly swings down and a huge explosion followed by the crackling thunder and the dark clouds send thick bolts of lightning all over the battlefield and heavy rains follows after and this lasts for a long while.

After unleashing her attack, Ei returns to Inazuma by opening a giant portal and the people of Inazuma cheered and shouted " Almighty Raiden Shogun! All hail Shogun-sama!" these are the words Ei keeps hearing from her people and only ended after entering Tenshukaku after she dispels her earlier form.

Back outside...

In the future after everything settles down, the battlefield became a restricted area due to a long and deep trench was made from the "Raiden Shogun's Wrath".

What makes it dangerous is that inside the trench is filled with purple lightning, a remnant from the attack and it is lethal to all living beings both Human and Demon alike.

This event has alerted both Factions as a mysterious Third faction appears and made their announcement to the world, and only a certain merchant in Tsilge realizes who the leader of the Third faction is.
