Chapter 226 World Eater Set Armour

*CRACK

Ripping her sword out of the Treant's body, Shiro watched at the second boss crumbled away.

"Fuu… good work guys." Isaac smiled as he called out for everyone's attention.

"The third boss is as you know, mainly target shooting so we'll go with formation 6 where Miss Nytri is our focus. Do everything we can to make her job easy since almost all of the pressure is on her." He turned towards Shiro and gave her a smile.

However, Shiro only glanced at him for a moment before checking her loot.

There were weapons and armour, some at the purple rank, but they were mostly items for recycling since she had better equipment. Naturally, she had found a set item that caught her interest.

While the stats were a little low for a piece of level 60 equipment, the skills made up for this deficit. This was especially so for the Root skill. In Shiro's opinions, she valued the root skill over the guardians since there was a lot one could do in the 5 seconds that the enemy is immobile.

And since the description showed that you can target 3 enemies, she could at least kill one of them in that time.

'This item will help a lot in situations when I'm outnumbered and they're stronger than me. If I do need to fight against human adventurers, I can use this to root the tankers and attackers while I kill the supports.' She thought to herself.

Unfortunately, by the time she reached level 60, she had her Kaiser Dragon set armour so this would be left in her inventory to rot. She couldn't recycle this for the skill either since she couldn't get skills from set armours.

Otherwise, she would have long recycled the set skill from the spider raid set armour that Helion had created. That was because the set skill was called Empowered Rampage.

The effect of said skill was 20% attack speed and 20% power for 1 minute and the cooldown was 5 minutes. As for the backlash, it was just a measly -40 points to every stat for 2 minutes. Such a backlash was nothing compared to the stats she had now. Even her lowest stat, the defence stat, was at 4000 after her level up. As for her highest stat, intelligence, it was at an astounding 16k points.

That was just the base points as well. This didn't include the title bonus which would propel it pass the 20k mark. A number that was insane for any level 52 to have in a single stat if they didn't have a class like her's.

"Did you get anything good Miss Nytri?" Isaac took the initiative to ask her.

"Mn? Somewhat. I managed to get a gauntlet piece for the set item." Shiro said as she showed the armour. She wasn't too bothered about them knowing since it wasn't useful to her at all.

"Would you like to sell it to one of our party members then? We'll host a small auction while we recover. We can also trade for more useful items from the first boss too." He suggested as everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Some of them were quite displeased about their items since it didn't suit them at all, if they could trade it for something that can help them, they'll gladly take the chance.

"Sure." Shiro nodded as she was quite interested in the items that other people have got.

"As we are all privileged adventurers, I'm sure that money isn't a problem so we'll trade item for item how's that? We'll still have the auction format but instead, we'll call out the information regarding out items." Isaac asked, turning to the other party members.

After setting up the details, they put up camp and prepared to have a mini auction.

/p>

Sitting near the back, Shiro kept an eye out for the monster while also focusing on the auction for any items that were worth obtaining.

Most of the things that people sold were just duplicate set items or materials for blacksmiths. During this, she found out that the first boss had dropped a set piece as well, it was just that she got unlucky and didn't get it.

However, compared to the second boss, the set effect wasn't as good so Shiro wasn't too bothered.

In the end, she traded for a piece of the world eater set armour using one of the better individual pieces that she received.

Storing the two away, she planned to give it to one of the girls.

'Maybe this will be helpful for Silvia since she's a healer. Guardians will protect her better and the root skill will help her make some distance between her enemies.' Shiro thought to herself.

Since it was getting dark, they decided to sleep first.

Arranging a few people to keep a watch overnight, the party members slept peacefully.

However, Shiro and her two daughters stayed awake.

"Mum, if we were to kill this intelligent monster, do you think the raid will end?" Yin whispered.

"Perhaps. Since he controls this raid, I suppose he is the last boss. And since he's intelligent, leaving the final room wouldn't be surprising." Shiro nodded.

"What happens if we were to kill him before the other bosses then?" Lisandra asked.

"The raid will probably force us outside and we'll lose the chance at the first kill rewards." Shiro replied.

"Hm… that's a pity then isn't it." Lisandra frowned slightly.

Nodding her head, Shiro agreed with her statement. But in the end, if the monster was to court death, she would kill it without hesitation.

Just as she was about to sleep, she felt a dense amount of killing intent sweep over the tent.

"Don't move just yet!" Shiro whispered as she grabbed both Yin and Lisandra who were about to get up.

"If we were to leave the tent quickly, it'll mean our senses are sharp. We don't want that. Wait a while so the other members will be the focus." She explained.

After waiting for a short while, they left the tent and saw that most people were dressed and ready for combat.

"Situation?" Shiro asked.

"One of the monsters wanted to ambush us but we've killed it. It must be a variant." Isaac frowned as he pointed the dead monster corpse.

However, Shiro knew that this was just a disposable pawn as she could still feel the intelligent monster's calculating gaze on their camp.

"I see, that's good then." Shiro sighed in relief. She had to act a little to convince the monster.

###

'Hmm… it seems like my instincts were wrong. If she was really a danger, she wouldn't have reacted so late to my killing intent. Adventurers can't control their instinctive reactions to danger after all.' He thought as he struck Shiro off his list of potential dangers. What he didn't know was that his killing intent wasn't enough to invoke this instinctual movement. Her mind had been tempered by far worse.

'I'll make my move after the fourth boss. Since they haven't killed it yet, it means that they know nothing about the fifth boss. They will be focusing too much on the boss and expose themselves to me. I only have to wait a few more days then I can have a few more playmates. Hehe, that Alura seems quite fine.' He smiled crudely.

Sweeping his gaze over Shiro's group once more, he couldn't help but wonder what they looked like. It was a shame that their face was covered since he wanted to see what kind of face they had. Their disposition belonged to those that were highly confident.

'I'll find out later anyway. The more confident they are, the more joy I get.'

###

Suppressing her killing intent, Shiro frowned as she had the urge to throw up.

'The f*cker's the r*pey kind huh? I'll make sure to give him some special treatment.' She furrowed her brows. She could clearly feel the lecherous intent in his gaze. For this kind of person, piercing the rear was only a starting act.
