Chapter 139 Mana Disruption Bullet

Shiro was currently sneaking through the entire mansion whilst sweat dripped off her face.

'How many formations do you need inside a house?!' She cried out in her mind.

Every few seconds after dodging a formation led to another one. This allowed the guards to slowly catch up to her since they could just follow where the formations where active. Especially Gilbert.

She couldn't help but curse at how good his tracking skills where. There were several close calls that she couldn't have escaped if not for Rift Walker.

As the pursuit continued, Shiro slowly mapped out the mansion but frowned when she couldn't find the master bedroom.

'Hmm strange…' She thought to herself.

Just as she was about to continue her search, she sensed Gilbert getting close once more and entered the rift.

Positioning herself above and behind a statue she lowered her presence and used Shadow Cloak for extra insurance.

She saw Gilbert crouching down where she was previously.

"Tsk!" He clicked his tongue in frustration. The intruder was a sneaky one this time since no matter how hard he tried; they would just disappear like a phantom.

'This is too strange… I've already gotten intel that both the Sermak Family and the Casadan family had intruders that passed them some vital information about the slums. Could they be doing the same here?' Gilbert thought with a frown.

Seeing Gilbert think about the situation, Shiro decided to pass the information onto him. She remembers that he was a butler. As a butler, he would have the chance to interact with the master of the Ospar household.

Pinching her fingers together, she created a flute and raised it up to her lips. Activating Cold Illusions, she saw Gilbert instantly pulled out a sword and stand on guard.

"Come out." He said calmly as his sword lit up with a black, purple and blue aura. Every flicker of the aura seemed to draw a picture of the galaxy with stars shining ever so slightly.

*BANG!

When a metal plate appeared in front of him, he immediately slashed his sword but was surprised when he saw the metal plate almost unscathed.

'What a brute!' Shiro thought with annoyance. She had the feeling that he was going to slash at anything that appears so she used her Nanomancer Class to create a plate so that she could test him out first. She didn't actually think he would slash at the first possible moment.

While he was paused in surprise at the fact that the metal plate was almost undamaged, Shiro took this chance to disassemble it and send out a piece of paper.

[What a brute. What if I had sent important information instead? You would have destroyed that you know?]

Shiro decided that since she was going to pass the information to him, she was going to mess with him a little.

"Since you have the capabilities to send this information to the two lesser families and even threaten them with spreading this out, I believe you have multiple copies." He replied seriously.

[Hou hou~ And what if I said that was a lie?]

"Then too bad. We can just mobilise with the two other families when the time comes."

[And if the entire thing is a ruse? What if I made it up and just wanted to take the families for a ride?]

"Why would you use so much effort in making something so believable just so that you can mess around with us?"

[Well, there can be a lot of reasons. The fact that the families cause destruction across the city could be one.]

"…" Gilbert had nothing to say since that is indeed the truth. Every time the families fight, it was always the civilians that suffer even if they're not injured. Properties would be damaged and shops might be completely destroyed.

[Silence huh?]

There were no more messages after that as the cold illusion faded away.

Gilbert sheathed his sword away as his heart was heavy. He was about to inform the other families that this may be a ruse until he felt something in his pocket.

There were two data ch.i.p.s and a paper message.

[Just kidding~ Of course you'll get the data as well. Do remember to eradicate the slum factions completely ok? ♡~]

"…."

*BANG!

Punching his fist against the wall, Gilbert wanted to give the culprit a slap or two for messing with his emotions.

"F*ck!" He cursed out.

Meanwhile, the culprit in question, was giggling outside the mansion since she had a camera on the ch.i.p.s which showed her his expression after reading her note.

"Now then, tomorrow should be the time where I'll get to fight my shadow again." Shiro muttered as her grin faded away.

She had already done all that she needed to do. Gather information
