Otherworld Invaders

The otherworld invaders are assassins from a world beyond Raphtalia's World and Glass' World. Their goal is to gain the powers and loot gained by destroying other worlds.

Overview
The otherworld invaders are a group of highly skilled assassins from their self-proclaimed "strongest world." They have destroyed at least one world - S'yne's world - by killing all of its Legendary Heroes. As a "bonus" of destroying a world, the otherworld invaders have gained an incredible amount of experience and abilities such as their resurrection ability. This makes the invaders an incredibly tough opponent to face against if not for their arrogance. The invaders Naofumi has encountered have not been Vassal Heroes, but the Vassal heroes of the invader's world seem to be in on the world-destroying venture.

Since they are responsible for destroying her world, S'yne had named them her arch-enemies and attempted to protect Raphtalia's world from these otherworldly invaders.

Volume 11
Naofumi first meets these otherworldly invaders when the shamshir wielder ambushed him with a surprise attack. Naofumi was just barely able to negate the shamshir wielder's attacks and was only saved thanks to S'yne's appearance. It also greatly helped that the man's magic nullification also neutralized the stat-reduction curse he had cast upon Raphtalia. They killed the man but his corpse faded away.

Later on, the same man and his kusarigama-wielding friend fought Naofumi and his party again for revenge. However, the heroes were better prepared this time. S'yne was able to nullify their abilities and the party was able to land devastating combos. The two invaders decided to retreat and attack another time.

Only a few minutes later, after Naofumi's party had defeated Ren and his curse series weapons, the two invaders came to kill the Sword Hero. While Naofumi and his party were about to hold off the arrogant invaders, Motoyasu arrived, stronger than ever with his new power-ups, and was easily able to defeat both of the invaders by himself. To prevent the invaders from resurrect another time, Raphtalia used a soul-slicing skill to kill the two permanently.
