Gritting his teeth at her provocation, the boss pulled up the reigns and controlled the horse to charge towards Shiro. Shiro grinned at the challenge and dashed towards the boss with two swords in hand. She already had a plan but wanted to see what skills the boss has first. Yin Style Asura's Path: Asura Sword Path! Twisting her body, Shiro stabbed the shield of the boss over and over again. The two other swords that were floating around her, augmented themselves with calamity's will and ate away at his mana. "Impudent!" The boss, Umak, shouted out as his spear glowed with a crimson light. Stabbing towards her, the image of a dragon followed behind the spear strike. 'One hit damage skill.' Shiro thought as her body flickered into the rift and dodged the strike. Appearing behind him, she spun her body clockwise and slammed her sword once more into his barrier. Watching his MP slowly chip away, Shiro narrowed her eyes and flipped backwards. Flicking her wrists, she threw her swords up and had them float around her while two hand cannons were created in their place. Opening the bullet cylinder, Shiro inserted two mana disruption bullets, one in each gun. Feeling danger in front of her, she bent her body backwards to the point that one couldn't believe she managed to keep her balance. Looking at the spear that passed her face narrowly, Shiro grinned and blew on the spear playfully. Umak could feel his rage increase as his opponent had the time to smile during a life and death fight. Pulling back his spear, he twirled it in his hands before pulling up the reigns on the horse once more. *NEIGH!!! Lifting up his body, the horse slammed both his hooves down on the ground. *BANG! CRACK! The pavement under the horse split apart instantly as the ground under the pavement was also affected. However, Shiro was able to jump away in time to avoid the stun effect that might have been carried by the stomp. 'A crowd control skill from the horse. I'll need to be careful in close range combat.' She thought whilst crouching slightly as she landed. Just as she was about to shoot her guns, a flaming spear appearing in her sights as she was forced to coat her hands in a layer of glacial ice. Flicking her hand cannon up to free her right hand, she grabbed the spear by the handle before twisting her body and sent it flying back to the boss. "Ssss!" Taking a sharp breath in Shiro frowned at the fact that most of the ice was melted by the sheer temperature of the spear. Unfortunately, before the spear could even hit the boss, it morphed itself into a ball of flames that reassembled itself in the boss's hands. "Is that all you got? Seems pretty dull for a boss." Shiro grinned. "That's my question. You seem pretty basic for someone who eliminated the squads." The boss scoffed. "Hou hou~ So you wish to see me actually try?" Shiro laughed as she coughed her hand cannon once more. "Then I'll show you just what this princess can do~" Narrowing her eyes with killing intent, her body flicked into the rift and appeared behind the boss in an instant. *BANG!

Shooting the barrier at point blank with her mana disruption bullets caused it to shut down for a moment, surprising the boss. Raising up her second gun, she was about to fire once more as Umak panicked and activated his personal mana shield. However, seeing her grin, he knew he fell into her trap. *BANG! As the second mana disruption bullet fired, it shut down the second shield, leaving Umak exposed to what she wanted to do. Her sword swung toward him with several copies trailing behind it. Umak raised his spear to block, but to his surprise, he felt no contact with the first sword. *PUCHI! "HUH?!?!?!" Widening his eyes in surprise, the boss was shocked to see the swords slash into his body. He clearly felt no contact with the first swords so they were definitely illusions. And yet, somehow, they were physical and lacerated his flesh easily. *BOOM!!! Activating his aura skill to push her away, Umak gritted his teeth in pain and looked at her in wariness. "What's wrong o'mighty Umak? Can't block a sword?" Shiro chuckled whilst pointing her sword at him. "What kind of trickery is this!? Explain now!" "F*ck right off. As if this princess will explain my skill to you." Shiro rolled her eyes as her body flashed into the rift once more. Appearing above him, she slashed down with her sword once again. Understanding the dangers, Umak rolled off his horse and quickly orientated himself to stab her as a counter. *NEIGH!! Her sword stabbed into the horses back as it cried out in pain. Thrashing around to get her off its back, the horse ignored the fact that it had stopped its master from counter attacking. "Tsk!" Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Umak decided to sacrifice the horse for damage on Shiro. It was about to become a corpse anyways. Throwing his spear up into the air, he created fire chains that attempted to wrap around Shiro. Shiro only gave the chains a dismissive glance before activating her own skill and countered the fire chains with ice chains. However, in the time she had used to destroy the chains, the spear was already engulfed in a fire storm. "Die under the wrath of the fire god!" Umak commanded. The spear transformed into a streak of red that stabbed towards Shiro, who flipped off the horse and slammed her palms into the ground. Frozen Hell: Ice Palace! *KRRR!!! Feeling a burst of mana that wasn't any weaker than his Smite of the Fire God, Umak widened his eyes in disbelief as he watched a giant ice palace construct itself around him. *BOOM!!!!! The spear collided with the palace, chipping away a few layers of the glacial ice. "How?!?!" He cried out in shock. "Structural integrity boy. Even though glacial is strong, it can be stronger with the right internal structure." Shiro grinned and pointed at her head. Follow current on novel-online.com
Even without the benefits of her passives and titles, her ice magic would already be stronger than average due to the fact that she could reinforce the structural integrity with her imagery of the actual spell. A simple task for her since she could even remember all of the blueprints she seen regarding future tech in her mind. Of course, the average adventurer would find this task nigh impossible. "Boy, you know what I like to do to people I fight when given a chance?" Shiro asked with a grin while she sat on her throne. Umak didn't respond as he stood on guard. "Che, fine. I'll let the next moment be a surprise." Shiro frowned a little as she flexed her upwards. *BOOM!!! Suddenly feeling an invader in his chrysanthemum, Umak paled in fright. However, he had a slightly more 'special' treatment since the ice spear had a shotgun embedded inside. Waving her hand that had a silver nano tech wire twirled around her finger, Shiro grinned and tugged on the wire before Umak could even shout stop. *BANG!!!! An explosion of blood, flesh and organs could be seen as the gunshot ripped through his innards like it was nothing. Looking at Umak who died standing on his feet due to a certain support at the base, Shiro couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the expression he pulled just before death. Now, a normal adventurer would cringe at the sight of a man missing around 90% of his torso, but Shiro was anything but normal. Hopping lightly over to Umak, Shiro checked to see if the magic stone was in his heart. "Bingo." She smiled seeing the neon blue mana stone. Pulling it out, she collected his corpse and checked her loot. "Special drop?" She muttered with an raised eyebrow. [Umak's Humiliation LVL 50 – Purple] A protective ward that would defend the user from any attack that doesn't surpass C class in strength. At the strongest point, the rear, the ward may even stand a chance against low B classed attacks. Item Description: Due to the humiliation and anguish Imperial General Umak felt just before death, he crystallised his life power into an item to help protect them from a humiliating end. Passive Skill: Soul Rejection Soul Rejection – This item cannot be used by those who have violated the sacred area during combat. Especially User ID: Shiro. Uses: 1/1 Cannot be destroyed. "Hou…" Shiro didn't know exactly how to react to such an item. While the effects were indeed impressive since it could potentially block an attack from a B ranked adventurer, just the fact that it singled her out from the passive skill somewhat annoyed her. "I'm sure it didn't need to add my name. There should be more people who use this weak point right?" She mused to herself. Shaking her head, she stored the item in her inventory for now. Who knows, maybe her party could have some use for it. Dismissing her Ice Palace, Shiro started to make her way towards the main castle in the middle of the city since that is where the Ice King Aephium lives. During her walk, she could feel several eyes staring at her in a mix of fear and disbelief. Looking towards the source, she would grin and send a single arrow flying towards them. If they could dodge, she'd allow them to live. If they couldn't, well they die. Of course, she wasn't too lenient. If they stayed for too long enough though they survive the arrow, she would personally make sure they died. It was just a small game to keep herself occupied for a moment whilst walking towards the castle. She wanted to conserve some energy in case the fight was harder than she thought. Follow current on storynovel.net
Oddly enough, she didn't meet any other boss that was supposed to be on the way to the castle. 'Could they have gathered in one room together?' She thought. Arriving at the castle gates, she tapped it gently and froze it over before shattering it into dust. "No welcoming party? Lame~" Shiro sighed as she walked towards the main hall. While she knew that all the bosses were there, due to the fact that she could sense a cl.u.s.ter of strong mana signs, she was also a little excited to see what she could do against several bosses. Killing one was easy. But trying to kill several was another question entirely. Their skills could synergise with each other and make it hard for her to eliminate the bosses one by one. Of course, she was prepared to get out of there if the need arises. She wasn't suicidal after all. *Clack clack clack clack Her footsteps echoed in the empty hallways as if it was a warning sign to the bosses. *Creak~ Opening the door to the main hall, Shiro looked up towards the 4 generals and one king with her own air of dominance. Stepping back in shock, the four generals couldn't help but gulp when their felt her aura. It was the kind that would fight back at everything. Even god itself. "So it seems like you want to fight me as a group." Shiro chuckled while adjusting her glasses. She had her facemask on so they couldn't see her expression. However, just from her tone, they knew she had mocking grin. But remembering the message they received about the tragic death of their companion, they knew the girl in front of them was too dangerous to fight alone, in more ways than one. Aephium looked at her from his throne and slowly stood up. While he wasn't bigger than his generals, his power and aura completely overshadowed them. "I have a proposition." He called out. "Hou? A final boss that's wanting to negotiate? Go on, you have my attention." Shiro chuckled and made herself a throne to sit on. Crossing her legs, she rested her chin on her palm and waited for the king to speak of his offer. "Take off your mask and glasses first." Hearing his demand, Shiro frowned since he was acting as if she was someone who could be ordered around like a servant. "Now tell me, why should I do that?" Shiro narrowed her eyes with killing intent. Her smile had long faded away as the generals clutched their swords tightly in fear. The sheer amount of killing intent that was rolling off her sent chills down their spines. "Because I wish to make you my queen." [Class up option receive – Imperial Ice Queen] Additional rewards: +2 levels "Hahahaha!" Hearing her laugh, the king frowned in confusion. "Do you think this princess here is an idiot? Taking this class up would only bind me to this dungeon." Shiro said as her killing intent started to increase. Her body flickered away from her spot, shocking the generals as they pulled out their weapons. "Plus, do you seriously think you are worthy to ask me to be your wife? I would say you should kneel and beg for me but even then, you simply aren't worth the time." Her voice appeared behind the group as they swung their swords towards the source. However, they widened their eyes when they saw no one there. *BANG BANG BANG! In a short moment, one of the generals was dead in an instant due to him taking a shotgun blast to the face at point blank. While he did have his barriers, they were useless against Shiro's Mana Disruption bullets. "Now this is a situation where it's not me that's trapped with you. But rather, it is you who's trapped with ME." Shiro grinned.
