Hearing a voice calling out to me, I jumped and readied myself. Even if I haven’t fully recovered from the last battle, me and my henchmen should have recovered enough strength to face off these newcomers for whatever reason they came here for.

  When we turned to the sound of their voice, we managed to see a group of three off from the distance. It was a bit hard to tell from there, but I think there were two males and one female, and they were wearing some leather armor. And…...are they doing some poses?

  Before I could make it out, they suddenly jumped forward, closing the distance and making their presence known to all. Oddly enough I couldn’t quite make out their features just yet. It was like they were obscured by handmade shadows to further give off a sense of mystery about them.

  “I see that there are a bunch of monsters invading in a human kingdom.” The one in the middle called out.

  Keeping my guard up I questioned them. “And what if we are? What business do you have here?”

  “Such rudeness, it is a good thing we came in just in time!” The female looking one remarked.

  “We should punish them for their misdeeds!” The last of the three suggested with eagerness.

  Seeing the event unfold before them, many of the citizens took advantage of it and called out to these strangers.

  “Yes! Please save us from these monsters!!”

  “They attacked us for no reason!!”

  Mordred grumbled to himself as he gripped his axe. “Pathetic, considering the kinds of things they done they sure have the gall to play the victim.”

  I clicked my tongue, sharing my annoyance with my Minotaur henchmen. “Though it is true we did come here with the intent of conquering their kingdom.”

  “So the kobold admits to their misdeeds. Tell me, are you the leader of these monsters?”

  Hah, what a nice surprise for someone to guess the right one in charge. I couldn’t help but indulge them by extending my free arm in front of me, spreading out and cupping my claw out with the intent to taunt them.

  “Quite the observation there, most of you humans have this nasty habit of assuming I’m weak because of my species.”

  The leader of the trio pointed at me. “You give off an air of confidence only known to those who have been through many intense battles. As well all the other monsters keep looking to you as if waiting for your decision”

  Glad to see we can skip that step at least. “Well you’re right. I am the one in charge here.”

  I held out my falchion and pointed it at the trio. “My name is Vladimir, and I had recently established the Dominia Empire with the usurpation of the Mivtic Kingdom as its ruler. Bow down before me as I will soon conquer this entire world! Veehahahahaha!!~”

  The three were taken aback but I continued and asked them. “So now that I introduced myself, I believe you owe me an introduction yourself.”

  “Very well, as it is proper battle etiquette we shall present ourselves as well. You two ready?” The middle one asked the other two who responded by nodding in agreement.

  All the while many of us looked on in confusion, some of the orcs looked itching to go already having not given the chance to fight before but Mordred stepped in and shook his head, picking up my intent to let this go on.

  Soon enough, the trio jumped further into sight one at a time. Finally, giving us a proper view of what they looked like.

  The first to appear was the larger male who brandished a large two-handed mace as he slammed it to the ground, leaving an imprint large enough to cover even Mordred’s chest. Afterward, he swung the large weapon before settling it on to his shoulders diagonally as he dropped to one knee and stared us down.

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  I was intrigued to find that he was a Beastman just like Damian and Zeph, more specifically of the tiger species. Which kind specifically I wouldn’t have known, but the bright orange fur with black stripes is undeniable for all to see. But one other noticeable feature he sported was the large scar that spread from one cheek to the other and over his nose.

  His outfit consisted of red leather armor with a large cape flowing at his back. Though noticeably unlike most leather armor many parts of it snug onto his body. It reminds me of a certain type of leather outfit in my old world that was used for a superhero show. At the center was an emblem with the image of a dragon’s head with its mouth wide open with it colored in gold while two swords cross into an X from behind.

  The tiger man then begun to speak and as he does so he got up from his knee as he leans to the right with one hand holding his weapon to the side while the other has its palm open and the claw spread out as if he was ready to scratch us.

  “I am the Powerhouse with Mastery over Maces. The Power Mace, Arnold!”

  Next came the female who gracefully jumped down as she proceeds to spin like a ribbon dancer her long brown hair following to the beat of her dance as she flicks two fans open and stopped holding on to her hip and another covering half her face and showing off her long-pointed ears which represents the elves. She winked at the crowd before her which caused some of them, including some of my kobolds and goblins and even one orc, to blush.

  She wore a similar leather outfit as the tiger man except hers was colored green and she took the time to ensure it would show off her body’s beauty by instead of using a cape it was wrapped by a similarly green sash as it danced around her like a flowing wave.

  She then gave one last twirl as she presented herself, her fans flowing through the air as she leans to the left with her back present showing us the similar golden emblem. Her sash continues to move like a perpetual river as the entire time her fans danced in tune to the wind before ending with both her arms spread out in a v shape with each fan in hand.

  “I am the Tactician with Mastery over Fans. The Speed Fan, Claire!”

  And finally came what looked to be the leader of the three. Coming in like a hero to the rescue as he front flips and lands with a fluid unsheathing of his rapier pointing downward with his free hand extended behind him with his golden spiky hair and blue cape breezing back.

  As he announces himself, he stood up and gracefully swung his thin blade around with an extra flair of dramatics before he had it pointing upwards in front of his face, his eyes closed before opening them and then crossed his arms into an X.

  “And I am the Leader with Mastery over Swords. The Justice Sword, Justin!”

  They then all spoke in unison, their voice booming loudly for all to hear.

  “In service to the Grand Sovereignty of Insignia, we are the Weapon Trinity Masters!!!”

  Everything fell into silence; they waited for their audience’s response. Most of us couldn’t quite figure out what to say, the overall expressions were of confusion. I did hear a few whispers from the humans. Most of it were in recognition to the group’s name.

  “The Weapon Trinity Masters? I think I heard about them?”

  “Don’t they serve in that Insignia kingdom, you know the one that’s aiming to unite all the other kingdoms together into one?”

  “Uniting? As if! It’s more like seizing instead!”

  Insignia huh…... Well, I’ll learn about that later, for now there was something more important I needed to deal with….

  I stepped forward as I spoke to them. “The Weapon Trinity Masters huh?”

  …. The way they dress…. how they act….and all those dramatic poses….

  All my henchmen couldn’t help but notice my demeanor. Mordred asked, looking a bit concerned. “Boss? ..... is everything alright?”

  I ignored him, my focus fully on them. This seemed to get them on guard as well as get everyone prepared for an inevitable battle.

  But it was the next thing I said that got everyone’s attention.

  “You guys…. are so……………. AWESOME!!!”

  That’s right, everything about them reminds me of a particular superhero show I used to watch when I was younger back in my old world. I used to love watching it every day whenever I had the chance! Of course, my focus was on the villains who would want to conquer the world, but the heroes always showed off such cool moves and wicked poses!!

  Before I knew it I found myself awestruck, my eyes widened in excitement as my arms shook in anticipation. “Oh man I never thought I would ever see this in my life!!! Aren’t these guys amazing?!!”

  I looked back but I was surprised to see no one else shared in my enthusiasm. Most of them had their mouth agape trying to process what they were seeing. They’re missing out!! I did notice the distinct expression from Damian that would normally make me tremble as well as seeing both my Vulture and moth henchmen covering their mouths.

  But right now, I didn’t care about any of that at the moment!!

  Thankfully V appreciated these Weapon Trinity Masters, which sound like an AMAZING moniker! Much better than my [Tiny Tyrant] one!

  V hopped next to me and joined me in admiring these three. “You’re right Mr. Vlad. They’re almost as cool as you!!”

  This is the best day of my life!!!
