Chapter 1048 Skewed Sense of Power

*BANG!!!

’Landing’ in the courtyard of the castle, Shiro could see that most of the people here have been knocked out.

Those that managed to keep standing had strenuous expressions as Shiro was also allowing her passive aura to radiate out.

To them, she would look like the most fearsome thing in the world right now.

Glancing down at her phone, she checked the time.

"Alright, let’s finish this in 8 minutes max."

"How come there’s a time limit?" Misu asked, curious.

"Nothing much. Just that I want to sort through everything quickly." Shiro chuckled as she gestured towards Yin and Attie who were on top of the mechs.

"You two, come down." Shiro called out as the two landed next to her.

"You called?"

"Which one of you wants to be the lifeline of this place? Just note that you won’t be able to leave the castle for 5 days if you decide to be the lifeline." Shiro asked as Yin thought about it for a moment.

"Hmm.... I can be the lifeline. I don’t really mind as long as Attie keeps me company." Yin smiled.

"Alright. Since that’s the case then let’s deal with the lifeline of this zone. There’s an underground city of sorts beneath this place but we can ignore that for now. Just focus on the main prize and that is to kill the lifeline and take the zone. They’re tier 6 as well but we have 3 tier 6 on our side right now."

"So what you’re saying is that we should just bombard them?" Yin asked as Shiro nodded her head.

"Yup. I’ll sit back for this one since it would be boring if I just killed him in one go." Shiro grinned as Yin nodded her head.

After all, she knew Shiro’s power quite well. That tier 6 would most likely die from a slap if Shiro was serious.

"Maria, Glen, there will be reinforcements arriving so I’ll be relying on you two to cover our backs. Knowing what their manpower here is like, I doubt there will be any tier 6’s but if there are, be careful. Glen, I know you managed to kill two but remember, they are still tier 6’s. Don’t hesitate to call for my help if it gets out of hand ok?" Shiro smiled as the two nodded their heads.

"Follow me."

Dashing forward, Shiro led everyone towards the castle as the guards that were still standing didn’t dare to obstruct their way.

*BANG!!!!

Crashing open the castle gates, Shiro stomped down as a wave of mana pulsed out.

Scanning the entire place in a single moment, she locked onto the largest mana signal within the castle and smiled.

"I found the lifeline. He’s currently relaxing in the private quarters. Put these one and it should show you a path towards his location." Shiro smiled as she threw a pair of glasses to each of them.

Putting on the glasses, they could see arrows highlighting the path.

Before they could ask Shiro anything else, they saw that Misu was now alone and Shiro had disappeared.

".. . Does your mother do this often?" Misu asked as she didn’t even notice when Shiro had disappeared.

"Unfortunately yes. She’s kind of on her own tempo and it’s hard to match her at times. But don’t worry about it, she’s still around." Yin smiled as she swiped her hand.

Opening a portal to the rift, she dragged all of them in while Maria and Glen protected the entrance.

Walking around in the rift, Misu was surprised that they could just access a dimension like this with a single wave of the hand.

This was similar to a reflection of the real world only without anyone else in here. If they wanted to, they could just phase through the wall and travel through the floor.

"When did you get access to this place?" Misu asked curiously.

"This? I had it when I was born. As for mum, she managed to enter this place when she was just a tier 2 since she had a connection with me." Yin replied as Misu paused in surprise.

"Wait, she had this when she was just a tier 2???"

"Something like that." Yins shrugged.

Blinking her eyes in surprise, Misu didn’t know what to say since tier 2 was when a person first gets their proper class. For Shiro to get this kind of ability almost immediately was crazy.

However, thinking about this, she realised another problem.

"Wait, how did you get it when you were born then?" She asked.

"Ah you don’t know just yet do you? I’m a Phoenix and my element is shadow. This rift was a passive skill that I had and since I had a contract with mum, she got a part of my power."

Deciding not to question how Shiro even managed to get a phoenix to be her companion when she was just a tier 2, Misu realised that the path shown by the glasses stopped here.

"Welp, seems like we’re directly above the lifeline now. Since he is a tier 6, let’s just kill him as quickly as we can. Mum wouldn’t like it if we took too long. Attie, are you ready?" Yin asked as Attie nodded his head.

Clenching his fist, a tier 6 magic circle appeared on the back of his hand as his entire right arm lit up in flames.

Seeing that the two of them were preparing their spells, Misu did the same.

Green mist started to gather in her palms as she wanted to drag out the enemy’s soul and attack it directly.

"When I say one, we charge. Three, Two... One!"

Opening a portal beneath them, they could see a man in a set of armour that covered him entirely from head to toe. He sat on a throne and dark energy could be seen coming from his body.

Looking up in surprise, his red eyes flickered as he wanted to raise his sword to block but he was too late.

Landing a punch against his head, a column of flames erupted as the surrounding castle walls started to melt.

Beneath him, a tier 5 magic circle activated as a phoenix head created from fire appeared and pierced his body before opening its beak.

*PUSHI!!!!

Ripping the body in two, flaming spears appeared and skewered each part to the floor.

While this was happening, Misu lashed out with a green chain that struck against his chest.

Tugging on the soul, she realised that part of it was already burning away thanks to Attie’s flames.

’Why is this family so strong????’ She couldn’t help but think to herself.

Not only were their casting times ridiculously short, the power of the spells were top notch as well.

By the time she had cast one spell, Attie had already finished casting his first one and was casting the second one right now.

Quickly taking a few steps back, she watched as the knight was burnt to ash before she could even do anything.

Glancing up towards the sky, through the hole that was created thanks to the column of fire that Attie had released, she could see the crest flicker and shift.

Changing into a blank crest, they realised that the tier 6 was dead.

"Wait... it was that easy?" Yin couldn’t help but mutter.

"I... I think our spells were empowered thanks to mum. She gave us court titles remember?" Attie reminded as Yin paused.

"Ah right. We’re being powered by mum’s INT score.. ." Yin muttered.

Looking at each other, they both offered a silent prayer to the knight that had just died to them.

Seeing a crown float up above his corpse, Yin reached out and started to integrate herself as the lifeline.

"Well... that was certainly unexpected." Shiro appeared next to them as she had a complicated expression.

"Mn. Mum, do you think that we’ve just been unlucky and fought with the stronger Queens? Since these tier 6’s are... well... weak. Even though I’m only in the mid stages of tier 5, I think I can deal with them easily." Yin scratched her cheek.

"Perhaps but don’t get complacent." Shiro flicked her head.

"If you think with that mindset, you’ll be injured heavily the moment you fight against a strong tier 6. If they can hide their aura like me and make you think they’re weak, what happens then?" Shiro asked as Yin stuck out her tongue.

"Cough... that’s true."

"But I agree with you. This guy is seriously weak. I think I can kill someone like him with just a single shot from my hand cannon. I’m not even using a pistol too." Shiro furrowed her brows as she conjured up a hand cannon.

"Hmm... do you think our knowledge on their strengths are a bit... skewed?" Shiro asked as both Yin and Attie nodded their heads.

"Wait, who do you class as strong then?" Misu asked as Shiro thought about it.

"Hmm... Syradil would match the word strong. I fought to a tie with her last time."

Hearing this, Misu was silent. Syradil was known as the monster within the Queens and yet Shiro fought to a tie????

"Wait actually no, I think I can probably win. I was injured and used an avatar when I fought her." Shiro muttered.

".. . ."
