Prev Chapter Next Chapter

In the next morning, while everyone was tidying up the festival, Shiro was currently farming away at a level 60 dungeon together with Yin. She was currently running away from a group of 15 monsters that all looked identical. They were shrouded by a black cloth and had a pair of glowing red eyes. Two dangerous scythe like claws peeked out from under the cloth and tried to cut Shiro up the moment they were close enough. Stomping her foot down, Shiro jumped upwards whilst simultaneously freezing everything around her. Frozen Hell: Frozen Slumber! Chains erupted out from the ground and held the monsters in place while Shiro stood on one of her swords to keep herself afloat. While she did have the option of using her float skill, it was just unnecessary use of mana since her swords were already floating. Clicking both her fingers, a three fold magic circle erupted underneath the monsters. Grinning coldly, Shiro flicked her finger upwards as a giant ice dragon clawed out of the magic circle and swallowed the monsters. However, they weren't dead yet since the level disparity meant her skills weren't doing as much damage as they should. Even if it was a newly developed Tier 3 destruction magic. Crouching down on her sword, Shiro put force into her legs and shot towards the ice dragon that had yet to be thawed. Reorientation herself in mid air, Shiro aimed her palm at the dragon and melted all of the ice, leaving the 15 monsters floating in the air. *BANG! Kicking the monster that was closest to her, Shiro sent him colliding against the other monsters and bundled them up together. Twisting her body, she flexed her fingers and created a shotgun. Fire Burst Bullet! *BANG! The recoil caused her to flip backwards, but she landed easily and quickly looked up to check the damage. While she did manage to kill the first monster, the damage was dampened exponentially since he tanked most of the pellets. Yin Style Asura's Path: Phantom Path! Flicking her gun upwards, Shiro twisted her body and kicked the gun towards the group of monsters. *Kacha! The gun shifted itself into a sword and cut apart any monster that was too slow in dodging. "Che, missed four." Shiro clicked her tongue. "YIN!" She shouted out since this was a perfect chance for Yin to get some EXP. Unfortunately, before Yin could hit them, a blue barrier erected around the four and connected them to each other. Shiro frowned since they were just a little late. *KSH KSH KSH! Magic circles started to appear everywhere around them but Shiro didn't get anxious. While it was indeed true that a single one of these spells were highly dangerous, she had her own counter as well. Flicking her wrists, two hand cannons appeared in her hands as she loaded then with neon blue bullets. Naturally, these bullets were the mana disruption bullets she had used against her shadow. A single shot of this bullet would render a magic circle useless as long as she got to it quick enough. *BANG BANG BANG BANG!!! Follow current on novelenglish.net

Shooting her guns none stop, Shiro was able to cancel out all of the magic circles as the barrier around the monsters weakened. *Chirp! Seeing a chance appear, Yin flashed towards the monsters and flexed her wings. Her feathers glowed with a purple light as she spun her body and sent them slashing towards them. The first set of energy blades left glowing spots of light that confused the monsters since they didn't do any damage. However, the moment the second set of blades hit their body at the glowing red spots, they widened their eyes in shock and pain since they could feel their bodies being sliced apart. 'An amplifying skill?!' Shiro thought with interest. An amplifying skill is where it would buff the damage any subsequent skill did. A great skill in raid fights since it allows the rest of the team to increase their damage. 'Seems like Yin's getting more skills as she gets closer to level 50.' Shiro smiled. Since Yin was able to get the last hits in, she managed to get a pretty substantial amount of EXP which increased her level from 44 to 45. "Ohya? A new skill." Shiro muttered in excitement since she still remembers how amazing the rift walker skill was. [Dark Seraphim - Finisher] When used, an area of dark mist would surround the user and hide them from sight. While inside the mist, you will gain increased attack, attack speed but decrease defence significantly. When damage taken inside the mist exceeds a certain amount, you will be ejected straight away. +60% Attack +35% Attack Speed -95% Defence Duration: 5 seconds Attack Limit: 2 (Tier 2) Mist Size: Dependant on the amount of mana used Cool Down: 5 minutes Requirements: Can only be used when target is below 10% health "Hou~ A finisher huh. Not bad at all…" Shiro nodded her head seeing the skill. A skill like this helps killing strong enemies such as mini bosses but the fact that it has a -95% defence wasn't desirable. However, for people who were already glass cannons, it didn't pose a problem. While she was checking her new skills, Shiro decided to look at her newly made skill. [Frozen Hell: Ice Drake's Feast] Summons a replica of an ice drake that will feast on those inside the designated area. Damage increases depending on how many enemies are inside the area. Cost: 50,000 Mana Duration: N/A Cool Down: 3 minutes While she was checking her skills, Yin had already harvested all the C ranked mana stones and looked at them with the desire to just eat them all. "You can have 1 since you did a good job." Shiro decided to reward Yin since she did a good job at timing her attacks. *Chirp! Crying out in joy, Yin scoffed one of the mana stones down and experienced another level up. Thus increasing her level from 45 to 46. "Hais, I wish I could have the same resilience as you. If I ate that, this princess would probably blow up." Shiro smiled with slight jealousy. Being able to level up from a single meal seemed like a dream for her since she doesn't have the resilience to be able to withstand the effects. Follow current on novel-online.com

However, at the same time, it was very wasteful since Yin wasn't able to absorb everything. *Chirp~ Yin only lazily replied as she laid herself on Shiro's shoulder. Smiling wearily Shiro continued to grind for some levels. ### "In the end, Yin took most the EXP." Shiro said as she rested her head on the desk. While they were grinding, Yin was sneaking her final hits in and taking most of the EXP. Shiro did tell Yin to stop however, she just grinned and continued. "Ah that's quite unfortunate." Lyrica said as she glanced at Yin who was pecking on a mana stone happily. Due to her kill stealing, her level increase to 46. "If it wasn't for the fact that we're heading back now, I wouldn't have ended the grind so quickly." Shiro stretched and looked around her. Everyone was packing away and getting ready to head onto the train. "Well we can't just keep staying in the slum area now could we? Plus, they need to rebuild." Madison said whilst eating a cupcake that they had distributed. "True, it's kind of a shame that I didn't get to try the raid out though." Shiro shrugged. "You can always come back, can't you?" "Also true, but why would I want to come back and do a raid I would have already out levelled?" Shiro shrugged since it would just be a walk in the park at that point. Plus, they were going to their faction anyways. After chatting for a little longer, the train arrived. Since there would be less chances of them meeting each other anytime soon, Kanae made sure that she spent more time with Shiro on the train. While this was happening, Shiro took the chance to give Kanae the katana. She had edited it during her free time and now it was a level 5 growth weapon that could reach a max of level 50. The stats were heavily reduced but the effects stayed the same. Plus, she was able to add on some abilities from her stock of skills she received from recycling weapons. [Crimson Devourers – LVL 5/50 – Purple (2/2)] +10 Sharpness +10 Attack +5 Attack Speed +5 Ignore Defence +5 Critical Chance +5 Critical Damage +5 Life Steal +5 Mana Leach Skills (Passive) – Power Up, Momentum Shift, Serrated Edge Skills (Active) – Flash Strike, Heated Edge, Counter Guard, Lightning Pierce, Blood Devour Set Effect (2/2) – Increased Sharpness, Attack Speed, Life Steal and Mana Leech A weapon like this was going to help Kanae all the way to level 50. And of course, Shiro didn't forget about safety measures that made sure no one else could access her weapon. Follow current on storynovel.net

'Since I've hidden the auto disguise skill chip in the weapon, Kanae will find out the skills one by one.' Shiro thought to herself since what Kanae sees right now as only a green variant of the weapon with 1 passive skill. As she levels it up the other passive skills and active skills would slowly appear. Naturally, when Kanae received the weapon, her eyes gleamed with joy and vowed to treasure it in her heart. ### Arriving in New York once again, Shiro wasn't too shocked at the damage but everyone else couldn't help but drop their jaw in disbelief. There was not a single intact building left in New York which made it look like a post apocalyptic city. Craters were spread out all over the city as some were bigger than others. A single giant crater many times the size of the others could be seen all the way from where they were as Shiro could only guess that it was where the boss had died. 'It's been a while since I last saw something like this.' Shiro mused to herself since a fight between high levels generated roughly the same amount of damage. However, if it was a battle between two peak Tier 4's or higher, they should forget the notion of having a city anymore. "I don't even know where to start with this." Lyrica sighed. "Why don't we get our stuff first. If you have anything left over from before evacuating, you should get that first. In the meantime, I'll go contact winter's grace." Shiro said. "I still have some things left over at my old place so I'll head back for now. I'll text you girls when I've got everything." Silvia smiled. Seeing Silvia off, they made sure to say goodbye to Kanae and her mum before they also made their way back to their old dorm. "So this is where the young miss and princess lived before." He commented whilst looking around the city. "It is and isn't at the same time. Same place but obviously as you can see, it's destroyed." Lyrica replied with a shrug. "Such a shame though. There were quite a few decent snack places near our dorm." Madison added on. While they were talking about the things that were near their dorm, Shiro was keeping an eye out just in case. Once they reached the school, they could see some students returning. "Wasn't he the one that pulled out the foldable bed?" Lyrica asked, pointing at a student. "Now that you mention it, he is indeed the one that had the bed." Shiro replied after matching his face with her memories. As more students came back, more and more realised who they were. "Isn't that Shiro! How is she level 47!? And look! Lyrica and Madison are also high level!" Similar whispers could be heard as they were shocked at their improvement. While they did manage to increase their levels, most of them only hovered around level 20 to 30. Only a selected few were able to get 30+. "Seems like you thee had quite the reputation. Especially considering the fact that one had even brought a bed for you princess." Yuan Tian chuckled slightly. "Just some teens being teens." Shiro shrugged. "Aren't you a teen yourself? Ah speaking of which, we don't know your birthday do we? That means we don't know when you become 14." Madison replied. "Don't worry about the date. We spend our time in the dungeons so the physical age is bound to be messed with. Just make it January the 1st or something." Shiro waved her hand dismissively. "Well I suppose January the 1st does make it easier to remember." They chatted for a little longer before arriving at the ruins that was once their old dorm. "Welp, time to dig out our stuff girls." Shiro chuckled. Thankfully for her, she didn't have much so she was able to store it all in her inventory. But the same couldn't be said for Lyrica and Madison. "My dorms a little further away so I'll see you girls later." Madison said, making her way to her dorm. "Yuan Tian, why don't you help me get my stuff." Lyrica asked. "As you wish young miss." "Since I don't have anything, I'll go look around for a bit. See you later." Shiro smiled before her body flickered away. She felt a lingering gaze on her and instantly knew who it was.
