Chapter 773 The Final Guard

Chapter 773 The Final Guard

Letting out a deep breath, Shiro took a moment to let her body relax as constantly activating powerful skills put a strain on her body. While the skills may say that they had no backlashes, that wasn’t including the strain it put on your body. Sure one or two would have no visible or obvious effects, but several tens of skills definitely strained her.

Looking up into the sky, Shiro could see that Nan Tian was having a bit of trouble as he was essentially a glass cannon just like her. And the guard that he was facing against had a skill that made all his skills a guaranteed hit.

As she was now not behind him, his skill that allowed him to deflect attacks was no longer working.

Just as she was about to rush up, she sensed anger and hate around her.

Glancing around, she could see the scared faces of humans who were pointing their weapons towards her.

Understanding that there must have been several casualties thanks to her attacks, Shiro could only sigh and ignore the glares for now. As cold as it was, she knew the risks and still continued the attacks to kill the guard. In her mind, getting rid of one tier 6 guard was more important than a few lives that could have been spared.

Plus, if she tried to spare them, there was the chance that she could have died herself had she not kept up the barrage.

’I was lucky I had to face this guy rather than the guard that Nan Tian is facing.’ Shiro thought to herself since her skill set allowed her to ignore this guard’s passive. If she couldn’t create different weapons, it would be annoying to try dealing with the guard since the same weapon wouldn’t work twice.

{Mn, Nan Tian doesn’t have a variety of weapons like you do and you don’t have his durability despite you also being a glass cannon. Should the guards switch places, I’d say you’d be dead and Nan Tian would be following up shortly after.} Nimue replied honestly and Shiro agreed with her statement.

Just as she was about to help Nan Tian, she felt an attack directed at her.

Summoning Silvanis, she cut the attack apart and glared towards the person who fired the attack.

Seeing a young man with tears in his eyes, Shiro could sense incredible hatred from his glare.

Not backing down at all, Shiro glared back before standing up properly.

With her sword unsheathed, the spectators felt a strong sense of fear towards her as they started to back off slowly.

Ignoring them once more, Shiro jumped into the air and flickered behind the guard while he was preoccupied with Nan Tian.

Sensing danger behind him, he turned around and threw a dagger at Shiro.

But before the dagger could come anywhere close, Nan Tian appeared in front of him and caught the dagger with his hand.

"Now that she’s back, your attacks don’t work anymore." Nan Tian smiled as his skill was activated once more.

"Did you have a nice work out?" He then glanced back at Shiro with a smile.

"It was decent. Made me use three charges of grace before I could kill him." Shiro replied with a shrug.

"Oh? Well you still have 7 more no?" Nan Tian chuckled.

"True."

Hearing that the second guard was killed, the first guard immediately knew that he was going to die if he continued to fight.

Making the decision of escaping immediately, he wanted to turn around but a cage of light appeared around him as it was then followed up by ice chains.

"Want to leave after trying to kill us? Not so easy." Shiro narrowed her eyes as the guard gritted his teeth and shattered the chains to pieces.

Summoning a sword, he slashed towards the light cage.

Glancing at Shiro, Nan Tian gestured for her to attack all she wanted as he was going to keep her safe from his attacks.

"I’ll be fine, I want to see what you can do." Shiro chuckled as Nan Tian only shrugged his shoulders and shrugged.

"If that’s what you want. But I don’t have a tone of crazy one hit attacks like you do so this might take a while." Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro shrugged.

"Hm... in that case I might as well finish him quickly then. I don’t want to stay here longer than necessary." Shiro sighed as she massaged her neck.

Summoning Silvanis to her side, she activated Hollow Deceit, Eyes of the Gorgon and Limit Focus.

Fuelling 30% of her INT sat into her blade, a blinding white radiance exploded out from her sword as her body disappeared.

Reappearing in front of the guard with several identical clones, Shiro slashed out with the help of boundary.

Trying his best to dodge the attack, his movements were restrained by the cage of light that surrounded his body.

Raising his spear in an attempt to block the strike, he widened his eyes in shock as his spear was cut in half with him following shortly after.

Quickly regenerating his body, he wanted to lash out towards her but Shiro didn’t give him that chance.

Using boundary, she slashed his hands apart and plunged her sword into his chest.

Twisting the handle, she then thrusted up as it travelled through his body and reappeared out the back of his head.

Flicking her sword, she cut a clean hole through his body as the head was decapitated in an instant.

While he was still trying to regenerate, Shiro activated her true spirit nature.

Summoning her lantern, she wrapped her chain around his body and ripped out his soul while he was still healing.

Sealing it away, she watched as his body crumpled into a lifeless corpse.

"The fact that you can rip souls out and imprison them is ridiculous. You do realise that was a tier 6 right?" Nan Tian laughed.

"And? It’s not like he could prepare himself for me ripping out his soul now could he? Plus, if I tried to rip it out while he wasn’t restrained, I’d be in danger you know?" Shiro replied as Nan Tian understood what she meant.

They did take their opponents off guard after all.

With how diverse Shiro’s skillset was, the moment you think she has used up all her skills, she’ll pull out another one out of nowhere.

With the queen and two guards killed, Shiro’s level jumped up by quite a few levels, upgrading her from 300 to 340.

Pulling out her earpiece, she turned it on.

"Do you guys hear me?" Shiro said as there was a short pause before the mic was turned.

"Yes we can."

"I’ve dealt with the queen and the two guards. How’s the search for the prisoners coming along?" Shiro asked since that was their main goal. They were lucky that their surprise attack worked quite well as the queen wasn’t able to react properly before she was killed.

"Ah er we’ve found their location. We’re just trying to get them out without the guards surrounding us." Samuel replied as Shiro furrowed her brows.

"Mn, give me a second. Stay where you are."

Flying up into the sky, she activated her skill analysis and scanned the entire city.

Discovering where Samuel and the group was, she could see quite a few guards patrolling around.

Most of them were tier 5’s with the occasional tier 4 watching areas of low importance.

’I’ve already used 70% of my INT stat for my attacks but the remaining 30% should be enough for this." Shiro thought to herself as she flexed her fingers and a myriad of weapons appeared in the air around her.

Creating special bullets with her ice element, she fired towards all of the guards that were patrolling the area.

###

Hearing Shiro’s response, the team looked at each other in confusion.

"She’s already dealt with the queen and that we should stay where we are?" One of the tracking spirits asked with disbelief.

"Apparently."

"Oi, don’t doubt her highness. Did you not feel the aura and the reverberation through the ground when they fought? Now that it is silent and her highness called us, it’s only natural that she won." Samuel lectured as he peeked out from the corner just in time to see several bullets drill through the walls and into the body of the guards.

*KRRRR!!

Before they could even scream, they were turned into ice statues as Samuel blinked in surprise.

"I believe you can move now. I’ve frozen all the guards in this place." Shiro’s voice rang out as the team looked out and saw the ice statues.

"Ah understood." Samuel replied before putting the earpiece away.

###

Seeing that the team were moving quickly, Shiro sighed in relief before her body swayed for a moment.

Quickly giving her some support, Nan Tian could see that her body was abnormally cold to the touch. While she was cold anyways, this was on another level.

"Are you ok?" He asked with a frown.

"Mn, just a bit of mana deficiency I suppose. I have just almost emptied out my entire reservoir of 9 billion mana in a short span of time." Shiro joked as Nan Tian rolled his eyes.

"Try not to harm yourself like this if you can." He sighed.

"I’ll try."

Talking for a bit longer, the team returned with the prisoners.
