Another swing of my scythe took out 5 more skeletons, causing Hades to click his tongue in annoyance. 

"Alright, let's see what you can do next," I say, taunting Hades. 

"I-I'm not done yet!" Hades shouts as the skeletons pick up their pace. 

The clinking of the bones got louder as the skeletons were savagely climbing over each other to get a hit on me. It was like they were reacting to Hades' overflowing stress and panic as he refuses to believe that I'm this strong. 

Well, I'm not really trying… but it's cute seeing Hades struggle so much. 

The sky grew grimmer by the second as a title wave of skeletons surrounded me. Even though they were small, collectively, the tidal wave was about 5 times my height. 

My eyes grew colder as I used a bit more power within my scythe, cutting down one side of the tidal wave. But the other 3 sides came crashing down on me, and if I didn't want to destroy the entire arena, then I had to let it crash down. 

Piles of bones stacked up on me. Some of the skeletons shattered from the impact of being crushed by the ones above it, but most near the top of the wave were fine… not like it mattered as I'm pretty sure Hades can summon another wave. 

"*sigh*... Didn't even get a scratch," I mumble while I was clouded by darkness. 

You would've thought the skeletons would leave a slight hole, but there were just so many that they blocked any light from coming into the center of the pile… which was me. 

He's pretty good, but his arrogance knows no bounds… that's probably the only problem he has so far, but besides that, everything is perfect. His domain is overpowered as long as he has mana. His swordsmanship makes up for his lack in defense, strength, and speed… That's pretty much it.

Taking a deep breath in, I start to clear the bones out of the way, but only after a few minutes of moving the bones, they all disappear. I was left in the middle of the dirt arena with the sky reverted normal, looking like an idiot as I was still in the position of grabbing a bone. 

Aika immediately bursts out in laughter as I saw Alexandra still kneeling as her chair while Samantha was behind her, supporting her head as she leaned back. 

"Oi, get a real chair. You're weirding out the children," I say after moving to a normal, relaxed position. 

"M-MOM! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY! I THOUGHT YOU DIED!" Hades shouts, immediately running over to me and hugging me tightly. 

Aika continues to burst out in laughter, causing Hades to scowl at her, making Aika shut up instantly. 

"What's wrong, sweetie?" I ask.

"Why is Mom so mean. You almost died," Hades says while glaring at Aika, getting another snicker out of her. 

"I wasn't about to die… in fact, I let you topple that wave of skeletons over me," I say with a smirk. 

"Uh-huh… then how about we go all out this time as I wasn't using my full power. I really want to show it to you… and if you're impressed, then we get to roast water boa tonight," Hades says with a smile. 

Uh, my heart… he's too bright… 

"Alright then, but I won't be holding back this time as well," 

"Please don't. I want to see your full power," Hades says as we both back away. 

Luna and Freya paid even greater attention as they heard the words "Full Power." 

As we both readied our weapons, my eyes grew cold, making Hades slightly step back in fear… but clearly, he didn't realize it was fear as his eyes displayed only confusion. 

"I'll start the match then as I already know whos gonna win this… 3… 2… 1… START!" Aika shouts. 

In an instant, I disappear and reappear right behind Hades. My scythe was in a reverse grip as I held the blade towards Hades throat, slightly drawing blood. 

"[Forbidden Magic: Hermes]..." I mutter. 

A drop of sweat ran down Hades back as he took a lot of time to process what just happened. One second I was in front of him, but in the next second, I reappeared behind him, with a blade at his throat. 

"Geez, Mom, you could've at least given me a chance to move… *sigh*, I admit defeat," Hades says, dropping his longsword and raising both hands.

"You did pretty well, but you definitely shine in army control. Just keep a stockpile of reanimated skeletons, and you should be good wherever you are," I say, lowering my scythe and patting Hades back. 

"Okay… geez, why didn't you say you were this strong earlier," Hades laughs to himself. 

Motherfu- 

"*sigh*... Just move out of the way so your sisters can have a turn," I say, pushing Hades to the outskirts of the training room. 

"Okay, girls, who wants to go next?" 

"Me!" 

"No me!" 

Sparks once again lit between the two sisters, but in the end, I just picked Luna as she was the first one who said "Me!" 

"Luna, are you ready?" I ask my daughter as I lower my scythe a bit and take a more relaxed stance. 

"Yes! Let's get started already!" Luna shouts as she charges in with her scythe ready behind her back. 

So many openings… I should probably teach them how to use a scythe after this fight properly… actually, let's do it now. They clearly don't have as much fighting experience as Hades. 

"Alright, that's enough," I say, catching Luna's scythe with one hand. 

"What? Why?!" Luna shouts, clearly upset. 

"You girls clearly don't know how to use a scythe, so I'll be teaching you for the rest of the day… okay? And no complaints," 

My two daughters pout and drop to the ground, rolling around. 

"What are you girls doing? Get up. You are practically adults now, so act like one," I say, grabbing both of their arms and trying to yank them up. 

"But mom… Please… Training is so boring…." Luna complains, with Freya nodding her head in agreement. 

tsk

I click my tongue while glaring down at my children, who avoided eye contact but still refused to get up. 

"Oh shit… Luna and Freya are in trouble," Hades says, clearly taunting his sisters as he walks over to Aika. 

"Babe, I'm going to go help Hades collect some skeletons, but we should be back before dinner," Aika says, waving for her pets to disappear. 

Once Samantha and Alexandra saw Aika's gesture, they immediately slipped into the shadows after Aika sat up from her makeshift seat. 

"NO! Auntie, help me!" Freya shouts. 

"Hey, you girls better stand up, or I'm going to make the training ten times harder," I say menacingly. 

"F-fine," They both stutter, immediately jolting up. 

For the rest of the day, I beat all the information and knowledge about scythes into my daughters, and by the end, they were crawling back to their beds as their bodies were sore. 

[Day 66] 

Today I woke up early despite me getting violated last night. Homura, Aika, Kumo, and Treyni, didn't stop, but I felt myself getting used to it… well, my body at least but my pride and mind were hurt every time. 

To wake me up, I had a maid give me a massage while taking a bath in the steaming hot water. And after the relaxing bath, I pulled myself to the changing room, where I changed into some baggy long sleeves, leggings, and some sneakers. 

I didn't put on much jewelry as it was kind of annoying. I just put on my matching rings with my wives… they would kill me if they saw me without them. 

"Is Master still tired?" The maid holding my rings says. 

"No, I'm just slightly regretting having so many wives," I sigh before slipping on each ring. 

"Would you like an update on Zehar and the war?" The maid asks. 

"Go ahead," 

"As you wish… First, for Zehar, he is still thinking over the question you asked him, but none of the maids know what it is, so Master doesn't have to worry. He also stopped going to brothels and has been expending his excess energy on training within the Arena of Twilight," 

"Continue," 

"As you wish… Next, there is the war where both sides haven't made a move yet. Please forgive these lowly maids for acting on our own, but we discussed a few things with Yin, and she said that the kingdom that we are currently fighting hadn't moved yet. 

It seems they weren't expecting such a great loss… Finally, this is unrelated, but Yin has sent out some of her subordinates to scout for any other kingdoms that are trying to get some benefits from this war," The maid says.

"You girls are forgiven, and since I'm in such a good mood, I'll allow Yin to act on her own this once, but tell her if she does it again, she'll get punished," 

"As you wish," The maid responds, bowing deeply as I leave the room.
