Chapter 420 First Order "So you said that the family is now destroyed right? And that we’re all that’s left." Shiro asked with a serious face."Indeed." Phillip nodded his head."Can you tell me a little about our enemies?""Could it be that you’re thinking about revenge?" Phillip frowned since this was not what their lord had wanted."Of course I am.-""Of course WE are lil sis. I’m here as well you know." Kuromi cut in with a smile."Right sure." Shiro rolled her eyes."But young miss, your father had wanted you to run away so that you can live in peace. He didn’t want you to endanger yourself like this." Phillip frowned."Phillip, just tell me what you know about our enemies. If we don’t even know who has a target on our backs, how can we live in peace?" Shiro smiled.". . . I- No I can’t. I’m sorry miss, you can ask me about anything else and we’ll help you live a safe life but we will not tell you about your enemies. Trust me, all they’re after is the spell, they don’t want you. If we take you away from this place, you can live a safe life." Phillip shook his head."What do you mean by spell?" Shiro tilted her head since she hadn’t heard of any mentions of a spell."It’s the spell that’s specially designed by the lord so that you can use Celestial Energy despite your current condition. Celestial Energy can only be used by people with both Yin and Yang strands. The lord had managed to make a spell that will allow you to use Celestial Energy with only one strand hence why our enemies destroyed the family. They wanted that spell for themselves." Phillip replied."Eh? So I can only use this energy if I have a ’complete soul’ huh?" Shiro said while turning to Kuromi. Follow current on novelenglish.net
"Hmm... you guys go outside. We’re going to have another private chat ok?" Shiro commanded since she had something to ask Kuromi."Of course young miss." Phillip nodded.Leaving the two alone once more, the group waited outside."Captain, are you sure you don’t want to let them know that we have the real spell in our hands? That the one that the enemy secured is a fake one." One of the members asked with a frown."Did you forget the lord’s warning about this spell? If possible, he wanted us to avoid ever letting the girls use it. Let the two live a peaceful life and destroy this spell." Phillip shook his head."But what if teaching the spell to them allows the two to get revenge for ever-"*SLAP!"Idiot!" Phillip snapped angrily."I understand your anger since the lord is like a father to all of us. But are you really going to push the job of revenge onto two girls that the lord treasured more so than his life!?"Staying silent, the man looked down at his feet, feeling shameful for even suggesting such an idea."*Sigh* But It’s not as if I don’t understand you. For now, let’s just wait and see." Phillip sighed and continued to stand guard for the two girls to have their private conversation.###"Kuro, what do you think about the way he says that we can use the Celestial Energy? Using that spell or whatever." Shiro asked."Me? Well it doesn’t seem like he’s lying." Kuromi replied with a slight nod."Mn, I figured. But the thing is that I’ve used Celestial Energy before. Remember when I use the skill Celestial Raiment EX? I always get to tap into this ’second reservoir’ of energy that I couldn’t before and it’s more potent than mana. If the Celestial Mana couldn’t be accessed by those without a complete soul or rather, a Yin and Yang strand, why could I access it?" Shiro asked while looking at her hand.

"Perhaps it has something to do with me still being around? With my soul still around you and us two being two halves of the same soul, it technically fulfilled the requirements of using the Celestial Energy." Kuromi replied."If that’s the case then do you think we can use this energy as we are right now then? Why don’t we ask the guys how to use the energy normally first and do some experiments?" Shiro suggested."Sure, but what do you plan to do while this is all happening?""Since our enemies are in the city, I’m thinking of going to a nearby town or city to get some information first. If they’re greedy, which I’m certain they are, they won’t send out the information in regards to the spell and it should give us some space to move around undetected. After all, if they pursue us outside of the city with a large force, it would definitely raise some suspicions."Not only that, from what Phillip had told us earlier, it seems like the enemy already has the spell so they won’t bother with us." Shiro shrugged."Hm... Though even if we get some information, we can’t exactly do anything about it. We can’t exactly fight right now and I doubt the guards we have now can fight our enemies." Kuromi frowned before widening her eyes."Seems like you figured it out." Shiro grinned."You sly woman. We don’t need to fight huh? Other people will do it for us." Kuromi raised her eyebrow."Yup. Since our forces are weak right now, we’ll sow some discord in their group after getting some information. Once that’s done, we’ll spread the information about the spell while our enemies fight amongst themselves. That way, even if we’re useless right now, we can kill our opponents." Shiro chuckled."And what of the aftermath?" Kuromi asked while crossing her legs."What about it? Our main goal is to destroy our enemies. Once that’s accomplished, we’ll retreat and watch as everything unfolds. Though if our enemies are stronger than I expected, we’ll probably need to come up with a few plans during the actual battle.""Alright, let’s go with that then. By the way, have you noticed something strange?" Kuromi asked."Strange? Perhaps." Shiro nodded."This trial is too easy right now for its difficulty isn’t it? This still feels like it’s not as hard as how Celestial Immortal has been described. Sure we’ve ran into life threatening situations, but we’ve also met up with our allies. Taking down our enemies isn’t the most heaven defying either so why is this Celestial Immortal?" Kuromi said with a frown."Mn, I think it’s something similar to calm before the storm. Right now, everything is just a prelude. Perhaps once we gain access to using this Celestial Energy, the true trial will appear?" Shiro replied before walking towards the entrance of the cave.

"Either way, we should get rid of our initial enemies first."###"Alright, you guys can come in now. We’ve come to a decision." Shiro called out to the ground.Looking at each other in confusion as to what this decision is, they made their way into the cave."Me and Kuro are planning to go to a nearby city first so that we can get some supplies if possible. Before leaving for a small town." Shiro said with a smile."Understood, we can provide you with a certain amount of money so getting some food and clothing shouldn’t be a problem." Phillip nodded with a smile since he’s happy that they’re not going to attack their enemies recklessly."In the meantime, I want to know how to use this Celestial Energy. Not the special spell that father had created but just how normal people would use it. I’m rather curious." She continued.Furrowing his brows, Phillip wondered for a moment before nodding."That is fine. We can show you along the way to the next city." He replied.Since the two girls couldn’t use Celestial Energy the normal way, it wouldn’t harm them to show the method. In addition to this, he also wanted to grant a few of their requests since they seemed to have made a few compromises of their own."Good, for now, what should we call your group?" Shiro asked with a smile."I suppose you can call us Shadow Guards since that’s what the lord called us. The only difference is that we’re the secondary group." Phillip replied."Got it. Since me and Kuro are father’s daughters, that means you serve us right?""Indeed.""In that case, then my first order for you is to get us a map of this country and escort us to the next city."
