'A no mana zone!' The Lightning Queen thought with a frown while quickly backing off.

"I'm just here to talk." s.h.i.+ro smiled while walking towards her.

"What? Why would a talk involve getting rid of the mana in the area?" The Lightning Queen asked, forcing a smile.

"Because you probably wouldn't listen to me otherwise. After all, from my knowledge of you, you are pretty hot headed. You know what Misu does but still count it as heresy. She doesn't revive them against their will, she doesn't force them to fight and she certainly does not do it to torture then. So let's have a talk, why does this seem heretical to you?" s.h.i.+ro asked as she flickered in front of the Lightning Queen.

Even if this area has been turned to a no mana zone, her physical prowess was still crazy even if she was a mage. Which mage has over 600 million points in strength? Setting aside the fact that her point gain is much higher than the average person due to her cla.s.s, upgrades and unique scenarios that had rewarded her greatly, not even an average warrior who put everything into strength could match up to her.

Even her weakest stat, defence was at an abnormal 500 million points. While it may not be much for most of the enemies that she face, no just any random person could cause her to bleed.

'Fast!' The Lightning Queen thought to herself and quickly ducked down to avoid her attack.

Gritting her teeth, she punched towards s.h.i.+ro's rib.

*BANG!!!

Feeling the force rebound back to her body, the Lightning Queen flinched from the pain.

'What the f*ck!? Why is her body so hard??? Isn't she supposed to be a mage?' She asked herself while quickly retreating away from s.h.i.+ro.

However, the gap couldn't be increased. s.h.i.+ro was simply faster.

"Well? What's your answer?" s.h.i.+ro asked as she hooked her leg behind the Lightning Queen and poked her head with a finger, causing her centre of gravity to s.h.i.+ft.

Forcing the Lightning Queen to stumble back and collapse to the ground, s.h.i.+ro looked down at her with a slight smile.

"Reviving people is disturbing the cycle of life. Of course it's heresy. If they died then they should stay dead." The Lightning Queen snapped back as her body started to flicker with electricity.

Raising her eyebrow, s.h.i.+ro was a little surprised since this was not mana based. No, this was more of a racial trait.

Watching the lightning travel through her body, s.h.i.+ro decided to humour her for a bit.

"So if they died in accident or were killed by something not under their control, you count that as heresy to reunite them with their family? Even if it means the son or daughter is left alone in this world?" s.h.i.+ro asked, taking a step back.

Gritting her teeth, the Lightning Queen glared at s.h.i.+ro.

"Yes."

Das.h.i.+ng forward, her speed was increased explosively.

Flickering in front of s.h.i.+ro, she twisted her body and launched a kick towards her neck.

Leaning to the side, s.h.i.+ro caught her leg with her hand.

"So if your friends were to die in an accident, you would leave them be rather than bring them back?" s.h.i.+ro asked as the Lightning Queen's eyes flickered for a moment before gritting her teeth.

"I wouldn't bring them back." She squeezed out through gritted teeth.

"So if your mother and father were killed by your enemy, you wouldn't bring them back?" s.h.i.+ro asked.

At this point, she knew there was something slightly abnormal about her reaction to reviving people.

"No!" The Lightning Queen shouted out.

Transforming her entire body to lightning, she lashed out towards s.h.i.+ro.

Feeling the electricity running through her body, s.h.i.+ro could tell that it was trying to paralyse her.

Just as she was about to ask her some more questions, s.h.i.+ro sensed that her no mana zone was about to run out.

Narrowing her eyes, s.h.i.+ro wanted to restrain her but she was slippery.

"If your parents were revived in front of you against their will what would you do?!"

Releasing a burst of lightning, the Lightning Queen disappeared the moment the no mana zone was undone.

Looking at the charred spot on the ground, s.h.i.+ro was silent.

After finally escaping from the two, the Lightning Queen sat down while panting and gritted her teeth.

That talk with s.h.i.+ro had brought up some old memories, the ones of her when she was younger and back in her original garden.

Memories of her mistake.

Closing her eyes, she could see the scene of a young girl reviving her parents, only for them to become monsters that almost destroyed a country. Their cries of hatred being unleashed upon her, cursing her actions.

The cries of the girl begging for forgiveness. How the girl had to be the one to end the life of her parents.

"The dead should stay dead. They shouldn't disturb the natural cycle of life." She muttered before standing up.

Taking a moment to catch her breath, she left the area.

"Well that talk went smoothly I'd say. We'll probably get another chance to talk to her in the future. I'll let her think about things for now." s.h.i.+ro shrugged.

While she could find her location with the satellites, she didn't want to force everything on her at once. She'll give the lightning Queen a moment to digest the conversation.

"Just in case though, I'll set a barrier around the border so that the location can be hidden." s.h.i.+ro said as Misu nodded her head.

"so what's the plan now?" Misu asked.

"We'll go around looking for a good level up spot. Get some people that you trust like Esil and he can level up with us too. We'll be leaving in a month or so after all." s.h.i.+ro smiled.

She wasn't sure how many decent level up spots there are but reaching level 900 should be doable if they take a few risks.

In the following months, s.h.i.+ro used all her time to clear dungeons whenever she could with a small party consisting of Nan Tian, Aarim, Keomi, Keiko, Helion, Silvia, Chen Yu, Kanae, Koji, Li Jian, Yin, Atesh, Lisandra, Nimue, Estrella, Iziuel, Misu, Esil and a few other subordinates under Misu's control.

After the first few times, it became easier to find out where the dungeons were using the satellites. They had a unique signal that was camouflaged but once it was spotted, all of the dungeons above ground was revealed.

While most of them were lower than level 600, it was still good to keep clearing them since high level monsters were hard to come across in large packs. Especially if they wanted to find some over level 700/800. If there were indeed monsters like that, s.h.i.+ro would be more inclined to bring them to her side than to just kill them.

With the dungeons being the main place to level up, s.h.i.+ro used all of her skills that could increase their exp gain the first chance she could.

While she could keep track of how many times they've cleared the dungeon this month, she got bored of doing so since it surpa.s.sed 4 digits.

The good news of clearing this many dungeons was that even if they were lower level, they still got a decent amount of exp.

After one month, this was the party's level.

Nan Tian – Lvl 820

Aarim – Lvl 695

Keomi – Lvl 500

Helion – Lvl 700

Keiko – Lvl 750

Silvia – Lvl 790

Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com

Chen Yu – Lvl 720

Kanae – Lvl 500

Koji – Lvl 650

Li Jian – Lvl 650

Yin – Lvl 780

Estrella – Lvl 770

Misu – Lvl 750

Esil – Lvl 730

During this month, many have gotten their tier 6 cla.s.ses with Koji and Li Jian breaking through the bottleneck that has kept them at the peak of tier 5 for years.

Yin found herself levelling up much faster with the benefits her new t.i.tle has given her.

Keomi and Kanae managed to get to level 500 but weren't able to break through since they were struggling at their quest much to their dismay. However, s.h.i.+ro said that it was fine since the rest of the party were making lots of good progress.

As for s.h.i.+ro, while she may not have reached level 900 as she had wished since there were simply too many people that needed to level up, she wasn't far off. From level 765, she managed to level up to 870.

There wasn't much to her level except for one skill that she earned after levelling up to 850.

With this new skill, she finally obtained something that a demi G.o.d should have.

She asked Gaia about the Divinity rank and it turns out to be the power of her divinity. Right now it was at rank 1 which is the most basic. A rank 2 divinity skill would push back her current skill. But it was practically impossible for that to happen when facing Queens or Empresses. After all, Divinity Rank skills are only owned by G.o.ds.
