Chapter 810 Queen of Trickery

Gritting her teeth, Shiro tried to jump back after adjusting to the 'new controls'. While the controls were flipped mid-way, she was still successful in making some distance between them.

"Now then, I wonder how you'll entertain me." Aisha smiled creepily as she clapped her hand. Suddenly, Shiro felt something puncture her lung as she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Glaring towards her, Shiro forced herself to stand up with some difficulty.

"I knew something was wrong but to think you were in a fight." Nan Tian said as he flickered next to Shiro.

Seeing his expression, Shiro knew that he wasn't in the best of moods right now.

"Oh? You broke through the illusion." Aisha chuckled.

"When Shiro went to talk to you she was furious. The fact that you two 'talked' for quite a while in the illusion was suspicious to begin with." Nan Tian replied as he flickered next to her and grabbed her face.

*BANG!!!

Slamming her against the ground, Nan Tian twisted his body and threw her through the wall.

"Haa…. Are you alright?" Nan Tian asked with a concerned gaze and quickly jogged over to Shiro.

Helping her up on her feet, he frowned at her state since he noticed that her body control was all over the place.

"Mn, give me a second. I'm going to see if I can fix this." Shiro said as Nan Tian nodded his head.

But before the two could relax, they realised that Aisha had already appeared beside them.

"Are you sure I'll give you that time?" She said with a small smile as Nan Tian quickly summoned his sword and slashed towards her.

But just as he did this, he felt his movements become restricted as the sword spotted in front of her face.

"You know, the moment you entered the city, I already knew that you two were powerful, so I made a few adjustments. Neither of you have ridiculous physical strength so I don't need to worry too much. For mages, I'm one of the worst counters you know?��� Aisha giggled as she swiped with her hand.

Suddenly, several cut marks appeared on both Shiro and Nan Tian's body as blood started to flow.

Gritting her teeth, Shiro decided to do something risky.

Slamming her hand against her chest, she scanned her whole body within that moment and pinpointed the problem.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro summoned her sword. However, the controls flipped once more as the sword pierced towards her abdominal area.

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't go cutting yourself now." Aisha chuckled but Shiro only smiled.

She wanted this and even if Aisha didn't force her to stab herself, she would have done it anyway.

Jamming her sword deeper, she grinned as she flooded her insides with nanobots which consumed her organs in an instant.

This display of cruelty towards herself shocked Aisha as this was the first time that this had ever happened in front of her. But before she could do anything, she watched as fire erupted out of Shiro and her body was healed up in an instant.

"You know, ingesting the little parasite was rather annoying but it's not too bad. It's just a matter of cutting it out." Shiro laughed as she flickered next to Aisha.

"You're crazy." Aisha forced a smile as this was the first time that someone had broken out of her spell in such a manner.

Flicking her wrist, Aisha jumped back as Shiro's movements were restrained.

Activating analysis, her eyes flickered for a moment as she could see all of the invisible wires that didn't radiate any mana signal at all.

Making a pair of glasses, Shiro threw them towards Nan Tian.

"Wear these." She said before dashing towards Aisha and narrowly evading the wires.

Nodding his head, Nan Tian caught the glasses and saw that his body was being bound.

Unfortunately, he was bound rather tightly so it took him a moment to get out.

Thankfully, Shiro was keeping Aisha busy so he was given a few moments to get himself out of the restrictions.

While Nan Tian was getting himself out of the bindings, Shiro was trying to strike towards Aisha as best she could but she was always just a little short.

Even after activating the boundary, Aisha seemed too slippery.

What's worse was that despite the fact that they were fighting, the surroundings seemed to not react at all as everyone was continuing their day like nothing happened.

"You did something to them didn't you?" Shiro asked as lightning erupted out from her body. Increasing her speed, she dashed in front of Aisha and slashed towards her neck.

"What ever could you mean." Aisha grinned as several pairs of hands tried to restrain her but her lightning torched anyone that grabbed her.

"So cold hearted. Killing them without even batting an eye." Aisha laughed as Shiro only shrugged while trying to kill her.

"Killing you will prevent more casualties. I'm sorry but I never said I was a good person." Shiro replied as Aisha frowned slightly.

'Nimue can you give me some help?' Shiro asked as Nimue's control of water could be rather handy right now due to the fact that they're near the sea.

{Don't worry, I'm already working on something.} Niimue replied as she was currently working on a magic circle. As she had only recently become a divine spirit, it took some getting used to so her spells would take a little longer to be prepared.

{Mama do you want me to help?} Attie called out as Shiro chuckled.

'It's fine. Mommy can deal with this pest.' Shiro replied.

{Pft, mommy.} Nimue snickered as a nanotech bat appeared behind Nimue and clubbed her on the head.

{Blerg!}

'Hush it.' Shiro hmphed before turning her focus back to Aisha.

Dragging her hand across the ground, several ice spears appeared before shooting towards her.

Unfortunately, they were blocked by her invisible wires.

Realising that Aisha was baiting her right now, Shiro wasn't keen on following.

"Since you want me to follow you so bad, I will. But before I go, I need to grab a little accessory. Girls like me can't go out without some decorations after all." Shiro grinned as she clenched her hand into a fist.

Suddenly, a blanket of nanobots appeared in the air and wrapped around the crystal in an instant.

Widening her eyes, Aisha looked up in shock as Shiro appeared besides her.

However, her shock turned into joy as she smiled.

"Fooled ya."

Flexing her fingers, mana burst out of Aisha as Shiro felt danger all around her.

"Are you sure?" Nan Tian's voice rang out as he appeared besides Shiro.

Pushing out his hands, a barrier of sorts erupted out as a shattering sound could be heard.

*BANG!!!

With the barrier crashing into her, Aisha was pushed away as she slammed against the ground.

"Thanks." Shiro smiled as she could count on Nan Tian to cover her back.

{I'm ready!} Nimue called out as her magic circle had finished its construction.

Nodding her head, Shiro slammed her hand against the ground as a Nimue appeared beside her with her magic circle.

Pushing her magic circle into the sky above them, Shiro watched as it expanded out and enveloped the entire city.

Suddenly, droplets of water formed in the air as they slowly morphed into needles. If it was just one or two, it would be fine but every single spot in the city seemed to be filled with this needle as Shiro could feel her mana drain. Since she and Nimue were connected, it was only natural that Nimue would be using her mana to power the spell.

Flicking her hand out, Nimue controlled all of the needles to pierce towards Aisha.

While this was happening, Shiro had cast her own spells as electricity flickered around her.

Making a fist with her right hand and a palm on her left, she placed her fist on her palm and lightning gathered in her hand.

Opening her fist, a small lightning serpent could be seen as Shiro narrowed her eyes.

The serpent seemed to come alive as it shot forward.

Suddenly, two tier 6 magic circles appeared in front of it as it seemed to enlarge with every magic circle it passed.

Eventually, it enlarged to become a giant lightning dragon which swallowed the spot that Aisha was in.

*BOOM!!!!

Exploding and evaporating all of the water, Shiro watched as Nan Tian shot forward with his sword and slashed down.

*PUSHI!!

Seeing Aisha being cut in half, Shiro sighed in relief but didn't drop her guard.

"How annoying. You actually caught me at my weakest. No worries though, this is just a branch of my anchor." Aisha laughed as her body sewed itself back together.

Clasping her hand together, a portal opened up under her as she waved her hand and disappeared.
