*BANG!!! Flickering towards the disciples, Shiro left a trail of lightning behind her as shock filled the stadium. Her speed was simply too fast for any level 51 to compare to. Appearing in front of the closest disciple, Shiro pivoted her body and Slammed her palm into his cheek. Yin Style Asura's Path – Phantom Path! "GAH!!!" Widening his eyes in shock, the disciple could feel several ribs breaking upon impact as his body flew into the crowd from the force of her palm. However, the shock only lasted a short moment before the surrounding disciples launched their attack towards her. Pushing mana into the Celestial lightning Wheels, Shiro released a pulse of lightning around her, stunning the disciples. Yin Style Asura's Path – Sword Path! Swiping out with her sword, a wave of blade energy slashed against the disciples and lowered their HP by 30% in one go. *DONG~!!!! Suddenly, a tier 3 restrictive spell appeared under her. "Tch." Clicking her tongue, Shiro stabbed her sword into the ground and shattered the tier 3 spell. After her mana links were repaired by 7%, she could destroy spells with more effectiveness. "Attack her all at once!!" Someone shouted out in a panic after seeing her wound several disciples with ease. *BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!! Several spells were launched in her direction while melee fighters dashed towards her. "Hmph." Scoffing slightly, Shiro stomped down her foot and flew up into the air. After classing up to Mystic Sylph, her race traits naturally changed a little. This included enhanced flight which allowed her to fight in the air. However, even without the enhanced flight skills, she could still use her Celestial Element Wheels to fly. While both options allowed her to fly, neither of them were suited for long distance travel so in the end, she still has to rely on Yin if they were to travel long distances. Yin Style Asura's Path – Celestial Path! Embedding each of her swords with mana, she flicked her wrist and sent all 7 swords to the spells. While this was happening, Shiro suddenly felt her aggression being redirected towards a few tankers with large shields. 'Taunt skill huh?' She thought with a frown. This was because she realised that her body almost refused to attack other enemies. "Fine, let me show you what kind of mistake you just committed." Shiro narrowed her eyes and dashed towards her. Before she could reach the tankers, several swords appeared in her view and slashed toward her. She merely scoffed lightly at the futile attempt at damaging her. *CLANG CLANG!!!! Widening their eyes in shock, the disciples couldn't believe that Shiro was able to twist her body through a tiny gap that had opened up in their attack, causing their swords to collide with one another. Quickly turning around, they saw Shiro with a creepy smile. Their hearts pounded in fear while their muscles tensed up, stopping them from moving. This brief moment of pause allowed Shiro to completely ignore the two and focus solely on the tankers. Yin Style Asura's Path – Phantom Path! Her movements became erratic as she reappeared behind the main tanker. Follow current on novelenglish.net
*BANG! Roundhouse kicking him in the side of the torso, she sent him flying towards the second tanker. Of course, this was only because of the fact that she couldn't kill him. In that moment, if she wanted to, she could have broken his neck and pulled out his spine with ease. The third tanker held his breath in fear since he had never fought against an attacker as fast as Shiro. Before he could even retreat, Shiro's head snapped towards his positions as her smile grew wider. "Hey~" She whispered next to his ear as fear overwhelmed him. 'When did she get behind me?' He thought in shock. "Do you fear me?" Shiro asked with a grin as her hands wrapped around his neck. Without waiting for a reply, she twisted her body, throwing the disciples over her shoulder and into the ground. *BANG! CRACK!!!! "ARG!!!" Just as she was about to attack the next group of disciples, she felt killing intent surround her as several assassin type disciples swung their daggers at her. Flexing her fingers, all of her swords shot back to her and blocked the daggers from striking her. In one clean movement, she then twisted her body and controlled all seven swords to attack the assassins, eliminating them with ease. Of course, she held back just a little so that they wouldn't die in one shot. But just as she finished eliminating the assassins, she noticed several tankers charging towards her in an attempt to use shield bash. 'If I'm stunned by them, it'll be over.' Shiro thought to herself as she flicked her sword up into the air. Placing both palms on the ground, two tier 3 magic circles appeared as one was deep red, almost purple and the other was ice blue. *BOOM!!!! An explosion of boiling hot steam filled the air as the tankers were pushed back due to the heat. "Gah!!!" "AH!! HELP!!!" "NOOO!!" Within the steam, countless screams could be heard. One by one, the disciples appeared outside the arena with broken arms and heavily injured bodies. Once the steam has dissipated, Shiro stood in the centre with a slight smile. "This has gone on for long enough!" One of the disciples shouted out as an absurd amount of mana gathered towards him. "Hou~ And what makes you think that?" Shiro asked with a small smile. "Because this is just being dragged on. While you have a strong momentum, there is no way that you can fight all of us constantly. Especially since we won't die in here as long as we're not killing in one shot. Therefore, I suggest you surrender before you feel a serious amount of pain. Even for you, a tier 4 spell shouldn't be something that you can fight against." He warned before pulling out an item. "Hahaha! Tier 4 you say? Try me." Shiro laughed out loud. She wasn't scared of tier 4 spells since she can lower the tier with her sword. By then, she can just cancel out the spell with her own tier 3 spell. There was nothing to worry about. Seeing her reaction, the disciple frowned before looking at his friends and nodded. Soon, several tier 3 magic circles and a tier 4 magic circle appeared in the air. "Fu…." Taking a deep breath, Shiro raised up her hand and shifted her seven swords into the shape of a giant long sword before coating it in a layer of lightning. "Celestial Path: Sealing Sword." She muttered as three tier 3 magic circles appeared around Ataraxia and merged it into one giant sword. Pushing out with her hand, the sword stabbed towards the tier 4 magic circle. Seeing this, the disciple panicked a little as he quickly activated the spell. Follow current on novel-online.com
*BOOM!!!!!! Before the spell could fully activate itself, the Sealing Sword crashed into it, destroying two of the layers before it was pushed away and shattered into several pieces. "Tch, tier 4 is a little rough on the sword huh." Shiro muttered with a frown as she could see several large fractures on the blade itself. Thankfully, her sword has 20% self repair so it will be fixed after a few days. Flexing her fingers, she returned her sword to its necklace form and glanced at the countless spells that were still charging towards her. Her sword only managed to shift the tier 4 spell down to a tier 2 and didn't affect the other tier 3 spells. Just before the spells hit, she stepped into the rift without anyone noticing. *BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!! As the spells detonated where she had stood, many of the spectators looked outside the arena to see if Shiro had been eliminated or not. However, when they saw that only disciples were eliminated due to the blast radius, they couldn't help but entertain the thought that Shiro managed to tank all of those spells. "There's no way right?" They would ask themselves. Of course they were correct since it was too much firepower for Shiro to endure against. Right now, despite the fact that her HP was pretty high, she was still a 'glass' cannon. All fire power and hardly any defence. "Aiya~ You shouldn't be eliminating your own comrades like that you know?" Shiro's voice rang out as they quickly turned their heads to face her. Right now, she was standing behind the students with a small smile on her face. "Because you need all the help you can get." She chuckled. *BANG!! "GAH!!!!" Crying out in shock, the student that wanted to use the tier 4 spell had his head slammed into the ground by Shiro. The arena floor cracked apart as he was eliminated swiftly so that he wouldn't die. "Now then, I think this has gone on for long enough." Shiro said, her smile fading away since she had learnt all that she needed to for now. Her Celestial Wheels were a must have during a fight since they're able to enhance her dodging and attacking capabilities. As for Element Shift, while it was weaker than her Elemental True Armour, it also used less mana. Thus, making it more sustainable and viable when she is against a larger group of enemies. Last but not least, her Celestial Path was extremely helpful against magic spells since she didn't want to show off her Nanomancer skills. This was the perfect cover. Some of the disciples noticed that her smile was gone and knew that she was going to get serious. A few of them even decided to surrender right now since their instincts warned them of the danger. Snapping her fingers, a giant tier 3 magic circle appeared underneath Shiro as mana surged towards her. "She's not done buffing herself!?" One of the disciples cried out in shock. Ignoring the commotion surrounding her, Shiro focused her mind on activating Celestial Armament. "Tch! We can't let her upgrade herself again or else we're done for! ATTACK HER!" Over a third of the student charged towards Shiro as she scanned her eyes through them. Tier 3 Eternal Ice Magic – Aurora's Guardian. *URAHHH!!!!!!! 3 Ice Giants formed around Shiro as each of them were level 51 elites. Measuring at over 2 meters, the giants were made entirely from ice chunks. Neon blue streaks of light filled the crevices and held the body in place. In their hands, were giant greatswords that were as big as each disciple. Just looking at the swords gave each of them a chill down their spine. Both figuratively and very literally. *CLANG!!!!! Widening his eyes on horror, the disciples couldn't believe how much defence each of the giants had as his sword only made a small chip on the surface. *URAHH!!!!! Follow current on storynovel.net
While the giants rampaged, the magic circle underneath Shiro grew brighter as more mana surged towards her. Natash had a serious face on since she could see the formation falter slightly. Celestial Armament – Eternal Ice Raiment! *BOOM!!! A blizzard suddenly raged inside the arena as thin layers of ice could be seen forming on the disciples. Even though they were literally freezing to death, they couldn't help but fixate their eyes on Shiro. Wearing a simple dress of white and blue, light armour covered her arms, torso, waist and legs. Along with this, she also wore a pair of long white gloves and white stockings. The blizzard twisted around to form a thin semi transparent veil that attached itself to pieces of her armour. Raising her hand, Shiro said nothing before several tier 3 magic circles covered the air. *KRRR!!!!! In a flash, all of the disciples froze over as their health decreased rapidly. Shock filled Natash's eyes as even she felt a little threatened by the move that Shiro had just used. As their HP reached 20%, they were sent out of the arena. Surprisingly enough, once they were out of 'range', the ice instantly melted away. With Shiro being the only one that remained in the arena, it was only natural that she was deemed the victor. Deactivating all of her skills, she returned back to normal and wore the usual black dress that Aarim had gifted her. Breathing out a cloud of cold mist, Shiro couldn't help but marvel at the power of Celestial Armament. 'If I didn't know any better, I would think that this was equivalent to a power up item.' She thought to herself. Within the short moment that she had activated the Celestial Armament, if felt like she touched upon the new realm. Within her magic, a foreign source of energy could be detected as it heavily empowered the effectiveness of her skill. 'Strange… I'll have to research about this some more.' Shiro thought to herself in curiosity. Leaving the arena, she ignored the cheers of the crowd and made her way back to Yin and Lisandra. "Natash, so about the-" "I know I know. I'll go make the doc.u.ments necessary to set up a monthly payment to your account with their resources. Do you want me to reroute them to your friends instead of you?" Natash asked as she sighed tiredly. "If that's ok with you." Shiro smiled slightly. "Honestly, do you know the amount of paperwork that I'll get after this? I'll literally become a hermit." "Ah sorry about that. But it's part of your job as an elder no?" Shiro grinned. "Aren't you also an elder?" Natash raised her eyebrows. "Only in name hahaha. Come on you two, let's go." Shiro laughed before turning to Yin and Lisandra. Watching her leave, Natash couldn't help but think to herself. 'Hmm… since Freya is higher ranked than me, maybe I can push all of this to her since it WAS her that allowed all of this.' Meanwhile, Freya suddenly felt annoyed as she looked out the window. "Strange…" She muttered in suspicion. As for Shiro, after leaving the area, she was about to take both Yin and Lisandra to a restaurant since she was craving some proper food. However, she stopped in her tracks since she could see Lyrica, Madison and Silvia jogging towards them. Before she could even say hi, Lyrica grabbed both her shoulders. "Who the hell is the father?!?!"
