( Yuuki's POV )
With the enemy leader finished and the floating fortress slowly falling it was time to retreat, I quickly went for the broken core of the leader but when I picked up the core the thing flew out of my hands and into the hands of a hooded figure that suddenly appeared without me being able to feel its presence.
???: sorry but this one still has its uses for me.
The strange figure turned around without worrying about us and opened a portal to leave the place, that he could open a portal when most of the crystal pillars were still standing told me this individual must be someone powerful and dangerous or so it should be.
I couldn't sense the enemy's power level and that would only be possible if the difference between our powers was too wide and if he had a powerful concealing ability, I am inclined to believe it is the latter because my instincts did not tell me that I was in danger.
With a quick movement of my tails I pierced the hooded man's hand, he released half of the core and I recovered that using another of my tails, my attack had great effect so I continued attacking but at that moment the mysterious guy disappeared completely and the portal disappeared too so it was safe to assume that he made his escape.
The place started to collapse on us and we had to leave that mysterious figure for later, I made a hole in the ceiling with a powerful fist and the three of us flew out of here, The fortress crashed in the middle of the battlefield and when inspected my surroundings I noticed that the battle had ended, thousands of remains of Phrases were scattered all over the place, a couple of pillars were damaged but none were knocked down, Matsu later gave me a more detailed report, when the dominant class Phrases appeared on the battlefield, the number of wounded rose rapidly but we had no fatalities and even with the appearance of the mysterious figure I could declare this a massive victory for us.
//////////////////////////////
After the battle I am in the throne room with my Sekireis reviewing report after report of the battle against the Phrases, about the damage to our fleet and Gears and the massive loot of Phrases cores and Phrasium but one of the most notable things was that we now had three Dominant class Phrases living in our kingdom, las dos Phrase de clase dominante que ende pido enfrentarse en la batalla eran conocidas y personas muy importantes para la chica de Ende, su nombre era Melle.
Other Phrases who were following the Phrase leader we defeated were only looking for Melle for her power and they were just going to continue their campaign of invading different worlds once they got what they wanted but those two Phrases just wanted to find Melle and be close to her, I didn't have a problem with that and the rest of the queens were of the same´page.
After that my fake sister Karen gave us some information about the mysterious figure that appeared at the end of the battle, It turns out he was a god banished from the pantheon of this world, that's how he was able to enter and leave the battle with ease but he wasn't so powerful that he posed a threat to us, something else we should prepare for in the future, he did say he had use for the broken core of the enemy leader.
Now with all that over it was time to return to the relatively quiet life at the IS academy, although there were a couple of things that needed my attention at the moment, As I said, we had collected a lot of loot and I had the necessary materials to create new Gruadians and the place where I started the process was on the battlefield, north of our kingdom.
The place was still filled with energy flowers and I started collecting materials on them, I created piles of advanced and dominant Phrases cores and the one from that floating fortress, part of Hollow and prototype weapons made of Hollow material, parts of the BETAs, kabane weapons and evolved kabane cores and the blue crystal I extracted from the dragon that had captured Kunou.
I made a small magic circle with my blood and when six Thanatos coffins appeared the process began, all the materials were absorbed along with the energy flowers and then the coffins were chained shut, I felt a large amount of my energy being absorbed and then the coffins began to shake violently.
This process could take a while so I just sat there waiting and about half an hour after that started I felt someone approaching and when I turned around I saw Yasaka walking towards me.
Yasaka: Oh, it seems I'm just in time.
Yuuki: Yasaka, you need something.
Yasaka: No, the girls told me what you were doing, and I wanted to give you something that might help.
Yasaka put her hand in her wide cleavage and she took out some green gems, I was going to ask what that was for But before I could Yasaka threw the gems into the air and they were attracted to the coffins and when the gems stuck to them, rhe shaking became calmer and I felt natural energy being absorbed, then I felt the process was going more smoothly.
Yuuki: If you continue helping me like this, it will seem that our alliance only benefits me.
Yasaka: What are you saying, you saved my precious daughter, this is nothing compared to that, besides these are like personal favors outside of our alliance.
Yuuki: Then I should give you something back personally.
Saying that, Yasaka looked at me with a loving gaze and sat down next to me.
Yasaka: The truth is, there's something you could give me back.
Yuuki: Say it then, if it's within my capabilities, I won't hesitate to give it to you.
Yasaka: It makes me very happy to hear you say that, but for now it's okay if you just continue watching over Kunou and me.
Yuuki: That goes without saying, I will always protect you two.
With that Yasaka said no more but she put her soft tails around my back and we continued watching the process of guardian creation.
After a while, the coffins stopped shaking and the chains on two of them fell to the ground, It seems the others needed more time to grow.
When the coffins were opened the first thing to come out was something similar to Rhym, a humanoid Phrase but this one was less wide than Rhym for quick movement and that had a Hollow material Katana in its hands and the second guardian burst out of its coffin, that was a three-meter humanoid dragon with blue scales, its claws were covered with kabane metal and a kind of kabane metal mask for protection on its head.
I could feel the two new guardians near Atago and Takao's levels.
