Chapter 379 Entering Mount Fuji Attacking and defending quickly with the use of her mana pockets, Lisandra was able to take out 5 of them before coming close to being eliminated. However, before that could happen, an ice dagger appeared in their vision and collided against the sword, knocking it away from Lisandra."Mum!" Lisandra called out in surprise."Yo, seems like you were able to use the techniques quite well. Good job." Shiro praised while making a few more daggers and threw it towards the remaining 8 chasers.Blocking the daggers, the chasers had a serious expression on their faces since the situation wasn’t optimal. While they had to hold back a little since the two were only level 100, the fact that they managed to take out more than half of them was quite concerning.Giving each other a quick glance, they nodded their head as they agreed to all go serious.Unfortunately for them, Shiro wasn’t merciful enough to allow them this chance.Snapping her fingers, the daggers exploded into a cloud of close mist. The particles then expanded into ice spikes and pierced towards the chasers.Two of them were taken off guard and were sent out of the arena while the other six jumped away."You take three and I take three?" Shiro asked with a smile."Sure."Readying both their weapons, Shiro grabbed Lisandra and jumped into the rift.Exiting not too far away from the chasers, she twisted her body and used her leg as a jump pad for Lisandra."HA!" Kicking out with all her strength, Lisandra shot towards the chasers while she flipped her body and made herself a small ice platform.Activating the Takemikazuchi technique once more, her body flickered out of sight.*BANG BANG BANG!

In an instant, 5 of the chasers were eliminated while the last one managed to dodge in time and land a kick against Lisandra’s check.If anything, he hoped to take out at least one of them before they go or else it would be quite a disappointment.Unfortunately for him, Shiro had already taken this into consideration and activated her Illusion skill.What would have hit Lisandra on the chest had actually missed her narrowly as she landed the final slash against his body.With all of the chasers eliminated, the duo managed to pass with flying colours.###Looking at the chasers that were eliminated with a frown, Hitomi sighed.’Seems like there’s more to them than I thought. No conventional mage would have her kind of strength and body control. Hmm... should I get a few people to try to find out their real background I wonder...’ Hitomi thought to herself.After all, it would not be good if the duo were dangerous figures. Should they cause trouble, it’ll be her responsibility.After a short moment, she sighed and sent a voice message to the investigation team."Make finding out the true identity of these two an A ranked priority. If you can, get a few people to follow them without being discovered."Once the message was sent, she walked out of her office and made her way towards Shiro and Lisandra who had returned the armour."Now that you proved that you can clearly handle strong enemies, I’ll give you a quick run down on the areas you should investigate and some information about the situation." Hitomi said as she gestured for the two of them to follow her back to her office."To give you a basic rundown of the situation, we’ve got several theories on what had happened. The most likely is that a dungeon was generated without our knowledge and has been opened, releasing hundreds of monsters to roam around the mountain. The only reason we think this is because of a general trend of monsters appearing. They’re all of the ice type and many are not seen around this area and yet they’ve appeared now. The reason why we haven’t disclosed this information is because it’s not confirmed. Your job is to investigate the area and see if you can find the dungeon entrance or something that’s similar." Hitomi explained as Shiro raised an eyebrow."Oh? A dungeon was generated now?" Shiro asked.After all, the only time a dungeon would be generated was at the very start or when it’s handmade such as the trial area that Lyrica’s mother had made back in Miriel."Indeed. Our observers have detected a huge spike of mana around a month ago and determined that the fluctuations bear resemblances to a dungeon. Unfortunately, there seemed to be an interference barrier or something similar since we weren’t able to pinpoint the exact location. All we know is that there’s a spike in mana, more monsters are appearing and they’re gathered on Mount Fuji. Should you bring me information on where the source is as well as proof that it’s true, you’ll be rewarded with an orange grade equipment." Follow current on novel-online.com
"And if multiple people find the information and hand it in at the same time?" Shiro asked with a smile."Well in that case then you’ll just have to fight for it then." Hitomi replied simply.Handing her an ID badge as well as the map they uncovered so far of the monster activity, she sent the two of them on their way."Hmm.. well isn’t she a little rude." Lisandra furrowed her brows."Not so much rude but maybe serious? Regardless, let’s go meet some Snow Woman." Shiro chuckled.Leaving the guild, she brought out her motorbike and made her way to the base of Mount Fuji. This time, they were allowed entry after showing the guards their new ID badge.Just as they entered the mountain, they were shocked by the sudden change in environment. From the outside, the mountain seemed normal with a snowy peak. However, once they get past the barrier, it’s actually a raging snow storm that blocked a lot of their vision."Surprised?" One of the guards smiled after seeing their reaction."A little. To think this barrier here is also a concealment barrier." Shiro replied."Yep. It wouldn’t be good if the civilians saw that the mountain was suddenly covered by a blizzard. It would cause quite a bit of panic." The guard chuckled.Talking for a little longer, Shiro and Lisandra ventured deeper into the blizzard.Travelling for a while, Shiro made sure to continuously release her mana in order to sense her surroundings but found no one else except for a few stray adventurers."Hmm... seems like the monsters are hiding." Shiro furrowed her brows as she had a fun idea."Say Lisa, why don’t I reveal my identity as a monster and roam around for a bit. If the monsters here are intelligent, they might converge towards us." She suggested with a smile."But can’t you make a drone and have it fly through the area?" Lisandra tilted her head."I can... but like, that’s no fun now is it? Just sitting back and letting a robot do all the work." Shiro shook her head since she liked to do things herself if possible."Well either way, I’ll follow you mum." Lisandra smiled.

"Alright, give me a second."Changing her outfit so that it fit the aesthetic of a Snow Woman more, she made some small adjustments to her face and disguised her status.[Shiva LVL 100 Snow Woman]HP:50,000,000/50,000,000MP: 100,000,000/100,000,000Of course, her HP and MP were fake since she didn’t have that much. It was just so that her disguise was more convincing.Taking a deep breath, her aura instantly changed to that of a sharp sword. Her face was cold and emotionless while her killing intent expanded out without restraint.Not only that, due to the nature of her ice element, a portion of the area had actually frozen over with her Comic Ice."Fuu... Lisa, you should disguise yourself as a monster as well. That way, it would be easier for the two of us to stay together should we meet any intelligent monsters." Shiro called out.Nodding her head, Lisandra revealed her angel wings and changed her outfit with the help of Shiro.[Lycoris LVL 100 Angelic Maiden]HP: 100,000,000/100,000,000MP:100,000,000/100,000,000Changing her name along with her class, Shiro nodded in satisfaction."Don’t bother hiding your aura and killing intent so that we seem more like ’monsters’." Shiro smiled.Making their way around the place at a casual pace, Shiro had already detected a few humans trailing behind them but didn’t make a single move. Unfortunately, humans weren’t what she was looking for.Should any of them try to kill her, she’ll try to spare them and disengage. But if that wasn’t possible then she would have no choice but to kill them. But that was a last resort of course.It’s either that or she causes a big enough commotion to draw the monsters attention.’Decisions decisions... Which shall I choose? To spare or not to spare...’ Shiro thought while narrowing her eyes at the distant adventurers. Thank you very much for visiting our website.
