Chapter 121 Silvermoon Keep P8

Chapter 121 Silvermoon Keep P8

"Since you four can’t see the monsters, I’ll head up the tower by myself. In the meantime, you can go look for intel to bring back to the camp." Shiro said as she dusted her hands.

Since she was finally able to claim the ass of another monster, her mood lightened up considerably.

"Bu-"

"Alex. Are you forgetting who’s the strongest here?" Shiro grinned and walked up the tower without even looking back.

The group looked at each other before sighing. They had to agree with her since they weren’t able to do anything during the last fight. Not only could they not see the monster, but they weren’t sure that they could damage it even if they could see it.

That was due to the collateral damage caused by the fight between the two. When one of the attacks landed near them, they had an instinctive feeling that they would die instantly if it had hit them.

Glancing at her back, they sighed before leaving the main hall.

As for Shiro, she easily took care of any cultists that had approached her.

’Now that I think about it, a dragon’s reverse scale is their weak point. Would a shadow dragon have the same weak point and does it even have an anus?’ Shiro thought whilst ripping the head off the body of a cultist.

Throwing the corpse behind her, Shiro glanced out the tower window and saw that she was still quite a distance away from the roof.

"Hmm... Who said I had to follow the path inside the tower?" Shiro grinned before leaping out of the window.

Grabbing the ledge of the window, she flipped her body upwards.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 2nd Phantom + 3rd Phantom + Faded Snow Movement.

Her body flickered up the side of the building. She would either grab onto the protrusion from the wall or make her own footholds from ice.

In a few short moments, she jumped over the roof and saw several cultists around a formation that was powering the dragon.

Her eyes scanned the roof quickly and made a dagger for each of the cultists. Twisting her body in mid-air, she threw the daggers with pinpoint precision and killed them in an instant.

*RUMBLE!!!!! PING!

With the lack of cultists that were powering the formation, the formation shattered into spots of light and set the dragon free.

*ROARRRR!!!!!

"SSS!!" Shiro quickly covered her ears from the power of the roar.

Falling onto the roof, she wasn’t able to stand properly and fell onto one knee.

Opening one of her eyes with some difficulty, as she was still disoriented by the roar, she saw that the dragon had swiped its tail towards her.

Widening her eyes, she quickly flicked her wrist as several layers of ice walls erected in front of her.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!

"Tsk!" She clicked her tongue and quickly flipped her body away from the tail.

"Even though this trial is low levelled a dragon is still a dragon huh?" She muttered as she saw the tag above the dragon’s head.

[Calamity Dragon – LVL ???]

HP: ???

MP: ???

During this, she also took the chance to observe the dragon’s appearance. The dragon looked ethereal as the body constantly shifted between mist form and solid state. Not only that, but l.u.s.trous black scales decorated its body. Blood red eyes and dark spikes covered its entire body. That right, the dragon wasn’t limited to only 1 pair of eyes. Its entire body was filled with eyes.

’Damn it. I should have known that a dragon of its stature wouldn’t be low levelled.’ Shiro cursed inwards.

However, the dragon wasn’t about to let her leave without a fight.

Rearing his head back, the miasma gathered around his mouth as she realised that it was about to release a dragon breath.

"Not on my watch." Shiro narrowed her eyes as she gathered mana around her palm and clutched her hand into a fist.

*KISH KISH KISH KISH!!

Several magic circles erected around the dragon as ice chains lashed towards it in large quantities. Some of the chains even combined to form a serpent.

*BANG!

However, the moment the chains wrapped around the dragon’s body, they broke apart with a simple flex of his muscles.

Making a quick decision, Shiro made and ice sword and dashed towards the dragon.

*BOOM!!!!

A black beam of energy suddenly appeared in her vision as Shiro knew that it was the dragon’s breath.

A magic circle appeared under her, creating a huge tower of ice that propelled her into the air and away from the breath.

Silently wiping away her sweat that had gathered due to how close it was, Shiro looked towards the dragon once more.

*KRR!!

She quickly made an ice platform to propel herself towards the dragon before it could even recover from using its breath.

*PUCHI!!!

*ROARRR!!!!!

Plunging her sword into one of the eyes, she twisted her body and ripped it out.

Enraged by her action, all of his eyes glowed with an ominous red.

*BOOM!!!!

Beams of energy shot out from all of his irises as Shiro had to quickly bend her body back to avoid the beam of light.

During this, she created two ice spears and stabbed them into the ground.

*KRRR!!

Using them as a focal point, Shiro encased the entire roof in ice to trigger her Ice Field Affinity.

Not only that, but the ice caused the dragon to slip, giving her the perfect opportunity to attack it.

She could see that the dragon had some properties similar to a spirit so theoretically, she could use the fire of life against the dragon.

Skating along the ice, she flicked her wrist and created a greatsword in her hand. Activating the fire of life, the side of the sword lit up in green flames.

The moment the fire appeared, the shadows that covered the dragon’s body flickered away in repulsion and fear.

’Great.’ Shiro thought with a grin.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom – Counter Weight Phantom.

*BANGG!!!!

She slammed the sword towards the dragon’s leg but it quickly dodged backwards and avoided the flames.

"So this does work. In that case then, try to dodge this." Shiro grinned.

Frozen Hell Series: Azure Hell Fire.

Blue flames lit up all around the roof and it seemed like an army of fireflies had appeared.

*Click

With a snap of her fingers, the fire shifted from the ghostly blue into a lush green.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

In a manner not unlike the skill bombardment, that Alura Casadan had won during the auction, the life fires shot towards the dragon.

Covering his entire body with his wing, the dragon tried to shield itself from the fire with little to no success.

Every time the fire struck against the wing, it would leave a scorched mark that caused the dragons blood to ooze out of the wound.

But before she could even rejoice at this fact, the wound had already healed back up.

Understanding that she was too weak to affect it, even with her fire of life, the dragon glared at her and ignored the fire that would strike against his body.

"..."

"Err... can we talk this out?" Shiro asked.

*ROARRR!!!!

The dragon clawed his way towards Shiro as each of his steps would rip a chunk of the tower out.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro stood her ground and released her killing intent at the dragon.

*BANG!!!!

The dragon stopped dead in its tracks and shivered in fear.

Unfortunately for Shiro, the dragon remembered how she was too weak to do anything. So even though she had such a strong killing intent, he was able to ignore it entirely.

However, that pause was all she needed since she wanted to stop his momentum.

Frozen Hell Series: Frozen Slumber.

Six magic circles appeared around the dragon. But this time, the chains didn’t break easily. Although it did, however, put a lot of stress on Shiro.

Gritting her teeth, she started to force her hands together in order to freeze the dragon.

*FUUU!!!!!!

The longer she held her skill, the bigger the blizzard was.

From an outsider’s perspective, even though they couldn’t see that dragon, they could see the chains wrap around something invisible. Not only that, but the blizzard was almost impossible to miss.

The party, who had separated from her earlier, felt sweat drip down their spine when they saw the power of her skill.

"I didn’t think that she would be this strong..." Alex muttered seeing the blizzard.

"Erm guys, just a thought." Emilie suddenly said.

"Go on."

"So we know that she’s strong right? And that this is one of the most powerful skills she had demonstrated so far. How has she not killed the enemy yet?" She said as they paused in shock.

If she was still fighting even after all the skills they saw fly pass the roof, that meant that she was struggling with the dragon.

"But we can’t see the dragon. How do you expect us to help her out in this situation?" Felicia frowned.

"We see the dragon like how she does." Nathan said as he captured their attention.

"How?"

"Think about it. If the cultist could summon different types of monsters, some of which we can’t see due to what Shiro had shown us earlier, don’t you think that they have a way to see the monster’s themselves?" Nathan suggested.

The group looked at each other in surprise.

"Alright, new plan. We interrogate a cultist for some information. Limit it to 2 minutes of torture. If we can’t get anything out of them, don’t waste time and instead search their bodies for something that could potentially help us." Alex said seriously.

"Got it!"

###

Meanwhile, Shiro was still struggling against calamity dragon due to the fact that she could do barely any damage to the dragon.

His natural healing was several tiers above her damage output. So much that she cursed repeatedly at the fact that a monster like this was actually in such a low level dungeon.

Even with her Ice Field Affinity helping her with the MP regeneration, her MP consumption was simply too large.

"Tsk! F*ck off already!" Shiro shouted out as this was the nth time that she had tried to retreat from this fight but the dragon was simply too strong. His physical attributes were many times above hers to the point that he is just toying with her now.

Ignoring her cries, the dragon flexed his claw and sent several strands of miasma lashing towards her.

Twisting her body in mid-air, Shiro narrowly avoided the strands of miasma and landed roughly on her feet.

At this point, she had been tossing and turning so much that she looked no different from a beggar. One that looked extremely beautiful of course.

"Alright fine! This miss will go all out against you even if I die!" Shiro shouted out as the mana around her went berserk.

Pseudo Ice Elemental Armour.

Ice armour wrapped around her as she tightened her grip around the spiked chains.

Glaring at the dragon, she released 10% of her killing intent.

*BOOM!!!!

Due to her passive skill, her killing intent also translated to freezing power. 10% of her killing intent was enough to cause a huge blizzard to appear. The sheer size of the blizzard had coated the entire main tower of Silvermoon Keep in a sheet of snow.

"So this is her power..." The commander muttered as he watched the situation from the back lines. The sudden appearance of the huge blizzard had shocked them to the core and had told them about her power that of which was so strong that it could even affect the weather around her.

"Tell the soldiers to pull their weights! They’re getting shown up by a 13 year old!" He shouted out before giving the top of the tower another glance.

If all mages had her kind of power, the casualties of the current fight between them and the cultists would be through the roof.

Meanwhile, the party had managed to get some clues about how they could see and take care of the dragon.

"So if what he tells us is correct, there should be a potion of sorts in their storeroom that allows us to see the dragon. In the storeroom should also be a few items that helps them control the dragon so we can use that to help retrain the dragon while Shiro takes that moment to kill the dragon." Nathan said as he threw the passed-out cultists to the side.

"Alright, we need to go as fast as possible. From the way things look up there, Shiro’s reaching her limit as well." Alex replied. They could feel the berserk mana surge around above them but at the same time, the power was weakening at a much faster pace than before.

They weren’t wrong as the elemental armours were always a trump card of sorts. The armour chews through the MP of mages like nothing since they don’t consume values but instead percentages.

Shiro’s face was completely emotionless as she was using 110% of her concentration. Right now, it was an all or nothing situation.
