Chapter 708 Shard of Ouranos

Chapter 708 Shard of Ouranos

Walking through the portal, Shiro had to quickly brace herself as a gust of wind almost knocked her over.

Looking around her, she saw that she was actually at the very top of the tower.

"So I was literally one test away huh? If I had been able to climb to the top when I was outside, it would have been much easier." Shiro muttered.

The top of the tower was rather bleak as there were only a few pillars around the edges of the place which was connected by the domed roof that had carvings depicting the primordial god himself.

In the centre of this place was a single empty throne.

Seeing her notifications blink, Shiro checked her system.

[Primordial Divinity of Ouranos]

Defeat the Shard of Ouranos and claim the divinity for yourself.

Just as she finished reading this, Shiro felt the wind surrounding the tower increase as it blocked out the surrounding world from her view.

Furrowing her brows, she could see that the wind would definitely shred her to pieces if she so much as approached it. Turning towards the throne, she saw an illusionary figure with a set of glowing eyes.

Sitting on the throne, there was an air of aloofness which annoyed Shiro but she surpassed that feeling for now.

Raising his hands, the figure slammed it back down on the arm rest of the seat.

Without hesitation, Shiro unfurled her wings and flew to the side as quickly as she could.

*CRACK!!!!

Shattering the surface apart, Shiro couldn’t see what had just attacked her but her best guess was probably the wind.

"Tch, an unseeable attack huh?" Shiro muttered with a frown. Since the tower changed depending on the challenger, it meant that this was made specifically for her.

’No wonder. If not for my instincts, I doubt others could even sense the attack coming.’ Shiro thought to herself since this was much faster than what she had to deal with previously.

Summoning her sword, she was about to dash forward when she was forced back by a second projectile of wind.

Clicking her tongue, she pivoted on her foot and notched her sword in one swift movement.

Firing the shot without hesitation, she watched as the sword launched towards the figure.

Snapping his fingers, the figure summoned a tornado in front of him which forced the sword out of its initial path.

With the sword being dragged into the tornado, Shiro had to quickly unsummon her sword so that she wasn’t dragged along with it.

’He has an invisible projectile that can be launched at high speeds and a tornado that can force my sword off the original path.’ Shiro analysed while dodging projectile after projectile.

Furrowing her brows, she wondered how she could attack it effectively.

While Shiro was doing this, the world below her started to stir.

The moment she entered the top floor, the clouds were suddenly dispersed, allowing everyone to see the top of the tower.

Surrounding the top was a giant cyclone which blocked them from seeing what the top looked like but many could guess that someone had reached the top.

"Seems like it’s begun. I’m honestly surprised at how fast she managed to reach the top. From my estimations, she should have been forced to enter at the monster level since it would be hard for her to go any further." Quella chuckled as she was currently sitting in a balcony with a woman who looked very similar to her.

"Seems like she took advantage of one of the stronger monsters to reach the top. Despite only having one divinity, she wants to complete a primordial tower. I don’t know if I should be impressed or terrified. IF and I mean IF, she is able to complete this, there’s a good chance that she can complete the other primordial towers. What kind of situation do you think a person with all five primordial divinities would bring when just one could make them a champion of the people with unmatched strength?" The woman asked with a small smile.

"I think a mix of both would be advised. After all, she is a woman who is more experienced with fighting humans than she is monsters. With what I’ve seen so far during my time with her, she is not one to take kindly to those that try to force her into something that she doesn’t like. Unlike the women we have seen previously, she is definitely not one to be looked down upon." Quella laughed.

Hearing this, the woman only raised her eyebrow before glancing towards the top of the tower.

After staying silent for a second, she sighed.

"Seems like a few organisations might be eradicated once she comes out. They don’t want a person with this kind of power to be outside of their control after all. Plus, it has been quite a while since they have last seen the power of one who had obtained a primordial divinity. They’ll definitely underestimate her even when trying to overestimate."

Agreeing with her sister’s comment, Quella waited patiently for Shiro to reappear with a giant grin plastered on her face while saying that she had completed the trial.

*BANG BANG CRASH!!!!

Trying her best to dodge the figure’s attacks while poking for more information, sweat was forming on Shiro’s head since the information she had found out so far is still limited.

Aside from the first two abilities, the Shard of Ouranos had quite a few others up his sleeve.

The first one was something that Shiro just dubbed the restriction of flight since her wings would disappear should she try to fly past a certain height.

The second was that he was resistant against ranged base or normal attacks.

Shiro had discovered this when she tried to fire some normal magical arrows that her bow created but he would just ignore them and not even summon the tornado. The moment the arrows landed on his body, it would bounce off before shattering into light.

To make matters worse, Shiro discovered that the figure had not moved a single step from his throne this entire fight. He had been using abilities after abilities rather than moving to hit her himself.

Understanding that this could be both a good and a bad thing, good since he didn’t move and bad since he could be choosing not to move in order to lure her in, Shiro was cautious about approaching melee range.

However, if she continued like this, she would get nowhere since he didn’t seem like he had a limit on how many projectiles that he could shoot.

Gritting her teeth, she decided to risk it and readied her sword.Normally, she would have consumed some stacks before starting this charge but since the figure had been redirecting her sword, she wasn’t able to get a single hit in.

Crouching down, she used her Phantom Path and dashed towards him.

Seeing this, a smirk formed on the figure’s face.

*BANG!!

Slamming his hands together, wind gathered towards the centre.

Opening his hands, a compressed ball of air could be seen.

Snapping his fingers, he sent the ball into the centre of the room.

Seeing this, Shiro widened her eyes and quickly threw her sword towards one of the pillars.

Dragging herself towards it, she was just a little late as the ball exploded into an orb of wind blades that shredded the ground into dust.

"Sssss!!!" Taking a sharp breath, most of her back was injured as the armour was complexly shredded to pieces on the back.

Feeling the coldness on her back, she quickly grabbed some fabric and tied her dress to prevent it from falling.

Glaring at the figure, she swung herself around the pillar before firing her sword at him using her bow.

Deflecting the sword once more with the tornado, the figure watched as Shiro narrowed her eyes and pulled herself closer to him.

Furrowing his brows, he slammed his hands down as a tornado exploded out with him in the centre.

Shifting her body, she called back her sword before throwing it at the domed ceiling. Pulling herself over the tornado, she was safe in the centre due to the eye of the storm.

Making eye contact with the figure, Shiro released all of her killing intent and pulled back on her bow with Nivlim notched on the string.

"Error!" Shiro called out as red circuits exploded out of her hand with excitement.

Wrapping around not only the sword but also the bow, the circuits hummed with excitement.
