*BANG BANG BANG!!!

As he continued to fend off the onslaught of attacks sent out by the party, the slayer or rather, Isaac, had sweat pouring from his face as he struggled to even land an attack.

Of course, it wasn't as if the party was going all out since Yin needed to worry about collateral damage while s.h.i.+ro was meant to be an archer right now.

"If we delay any longer, he'll get more points and we may not be able to get one of the orange grade items." s.h.i.+ro warned while vaulting off of a tree branch and fired an arrow that was blocked.

"I'll use my throne world and you girls will synergise with me ok?" s.h.i.+ro called out as they nodded.

Hearing what she had just said, Isaac frowned since the words throne world weren't exactly the most pleasing thing to hear.

Slamming her hand down, s.h.i.+ro dragged everyone in the place to her Rift Shadow throne world. In this world, unless she gave you permission, your vision would be hindered slightly.

Pulling back on her bow, s.h.i.+ro did a quick chant as she fired the arrow up into the sky.

Splitting into tens of shards, the arrows rained down upon Isaac. A second volley of arrows soon followed while Lyrica and Chen Yu dashed behind him in order to land a sneak attack.

However, since Isaac still had his sword domain activated, he was able to detect them and quickly block the sneak attack.

But in doing so, left his front wide open as Yin appeared in his view.

Twisting her body, she tried to slam a fist full of dark star energy into his chest. Unfortunately for Yin, Isaac s.h.i.+fted all of his weight onto his right leg before kicking her away with his left.

Just as he did this, s.h.i.+ro flickered into his blind spot with her bow held as if it was a sword.

Pivoting on her foot, she activated her own sword domain on top of refraction as illusionary images of the sword appeared around him.

*BANG!!!!

Cracking the body of the bow against his torso, s.h.i.+ro launched Isaac into the air as she flicked her bow back into a normal holding position and pulled back on the strings.

Condensing mana into an arrow, she fired it without hesitation. The longer she waited, the more chances for Isaac to reorientate himself and deflect the arrow.

*BOOM!!!!

Exploding into a cloud of fire and dust, s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes and glanced towards the holographic screen in the middle of the arena.

Seeing that they had eliminated Isaac successfully, s.h.i.+ro sighed in relief.

*BRRRRR!!!!

The sound of a horn could be heard as the party was teleported to the uppermost floor. Decorated with white marble and red banners, five gla.s.s containers could be seen in the centre of the floor.

s.h.i.+ro guessed that the orange grade items must be inside the gla.s.s containers since there was a sword, an axe, an armour piece, a bracelet of sorts and a gem.

Unfortunately, she was not able to inspect their properties nor were there any signs to describe them.

Above the containers was a holographic message.

[Congratulations! Points shall now be calculated as those with the most amount of points may choose an item. The order of which you will choose your item is in relation to your final ranking.]

After reading the message, s.h.i.+ro looked around and saw that everyone in the final round had been teleported to this floor.

Lisandra had a less than pleased face while looking at Yin since she was eliminated as collateral damage. h.e.l.l, she wasn't even able to show off some of her martial art skills meaning her points were quite low.

*Cough!

"Sorry~ Big sis didn't mean it ah, can you forgive me." Yin apologised while standing next to Lisandra.

Sighing softly, Lisandra shook her head.

"You better give me a portion of your food as an apology." She replied.

"Ah ok but like, I can only split it 9:1 ok? You get 1 and I get 9." Yin responded while looking down on her fingers and tried to work out how much food she needed to give Lisandra in the end.

*Puchi

"Shouldn't it be me who gets the 9?" Lisandra asked with a forced smile.

"Well you don't have the skill, gluttony, do you? Ah but if you're worried about the amount, I can guarantee that you'll get your fill since by one part I mean one banquet." Yin smiled brightly.

*PFFFFTTT!!!!!

"F*ck! You're going to have 9 banquets!?" s.h.i.+ro shouted out from the back as she didn't expect Yin to want that many.

"What? I have around that many every day." Yin tilted her head in confusion.

"Huh???"

Looking over at Lyrica, s.h.i.+ro saw her tired face and realised that it was indeed the truth.

"Holy h.e.l.l how does she e- ah, she must have used all of her earnings for this right?" s.h.i.+ro asked slowly.

"Yeah… since we were doing high level dungeons, she would have gotten quite a bit of income even after sharing. But she's poor right now since 100% of her income goes to food. Yin doesn't need clothes nor equipment since she has the monster cloth outfit as well as the fact that she's a mage." Lyrica nodded with a sigh.

". . ." Staying silent, s.h.i.+ro couldn't help but look at Yin's stomach and wonder if it was a black hole. Ironically enough, her element was Dark Star which can be s.h.i.+fted to have some properties of a black hole.

"I. . . I have no words for you Yin." She ma.s.saged her eyes.

"What? It's not like I have any other use for the money." Yin pouted.

Talking for a little longer, the points were finally tallied up as the top 5 finishers were as follows.

First place was Isaac, second was Yin, third was s.h.i.+ro, fourth was Lyrica and fifth was Lucius.

With Isaac being in first place, he walked up to the five gla.s.s containers that housed the weapons and wondered to himself for a moment. Eventually settling on the sword, he tapped the gla.s.s and retrieved the weapon.

Next was Yin and she decided to choose the bracelet while s.h.i.+ro, who was third, chose the gem. After all, armour and weapons were obsolete after a few levels while the gem might be something that can help them for longer.

Looking at the gem, s.h.i.+ro realised that it was a Mythic Skill Stone. She knew that there were Lucky Skill Stones, Cursed Skill Stones, Blessed Skills Stones and normal Skill Stones. She had never heard of anything such as a Mythic Skill Stone.

[Mythic Skill Stone (Orange)]

A skill stone blessed by the world. When activated, the user will have one minute to imagine a skill that they desire. Be warned, the mental image of the skill must be as detailed as possible for the best result as a vague thought will randomise the outcome. Once the skill is constructed, the user can either choose to learn it themselves or gift it to another person.

Raising her eyebrow at this skill, s.h.i.+ro couldn't help but take a deep breath. Right now, the thing she needed the most was something that could help her kill a G.o.d or something that could possibly be immortal. Sure, she had the G.o.d slaying sword but that was trapped so she should avoid interacting with the sword.

However, there was now the problem of how the immortal G.o.ds are killed. She doesn't know what's the source of their immortality so the thought would be vague, thus wasting this skill stone.

Shaking her head, she decided to store it away for now so that when she understood how she could kill a G.o.d, she can use it to make herself a skill.

She could use it to give one of her teammates a skill similar to Nanomancer as she understands the ins and outs of this cla.s.s but she was going to be selfish this time and use it for herself. After all, it's not often that you can get something that could potentially help you kill a G.o.d.

'That being said, I wonder if an orange grade item can even help me with such a thing… You would think that it would need to reach the black grade or h.e.l.l, maybe even rainbow grade. '

{Well perhaps it's an exception? Though I wonder why the city lord would even put this item on to be won at the event. Do you think there's another plot behind this?} Nimue asked.

'Oh definitely. Only an idiot would give this away.' s.h.i.+ro replied.

In the end, Lyrica took the armour while Lucius took the axe.
