'They've probably discovered that Helion is missing right now so I don't need to worry about stealth. The only problem is dragging in innocents since they haven't done anything wrong to my knowledge. I need to make sure I only kill the higher ups.' s.h.i.+ro thought to herself and slammed her hands against the roof of the main buildings.

*BOOM!!!

Suddenly, a giant tier 5 magic circle erupted out as the defensive formations started to crack one after the other.

'This should draw them out. I need a way to single out those that have Soul Fragment weapons so Akram should come in handy.'

Snapping her fingers, nan.o.bots started to appear in front of her as she created a scanner of sorts. Placing the G.o.d Slaying Sword Akram into the chamber, it started to look for any weapons that are remotely similar to Akram.

As this was happening, she could sense quite a few powerful presences coming towards her.

'Interesting… Their auras are rather… Demonic? Nah that's not right. Corrupt? That's not it either.' s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes.

"Who are you." A booming voice called out as several eyes locked onto s.h.i.+ro.

"Just a busy person who's p.i.s.sed that you hurt a close friend of mine. Let's just say I'm rather annoyed that he was placed in a near death state." s.h.i.+ro replied as her killing intent surged out.

Suddenly, clouds started to gather above their location as snow started to fall.

"As for my name, there's no reason to tell that to you since dead men need no knowledge." She laughed as she stored Akram away.

After all, there was no need to search when she could sense killing intent from their weapons.

In front of her, there were a total of 5 weapons. Two swords, a greatsword, a bow and a chain. Each of them looked rather demonic as they radiated the same kind of feeling she could feel from the G.o.d Slaying Sword Akram.

[Roman – LVL 252 Grandmaster Swordsmith]

[Lorenzo – LVL 295 Silent Reaper]

[Aneta ����� LVL 238 Dragonfire Archer]

[Dante – LVL 235 Ascendant Spellthief]

[Darci – LVL 263 Blood Warden]

Lorenzo and Dante were the owners of the two swords while Roman owned the greatsword. As for Darci, she had the chains and Aneta was naturally the bow.

Flaring her aura, she immediately activated her Celestial Raiment and chose Cosmic Ice as the base element.

Bringing out Athera she activated its first effect.

Cooldown: 2 hours

Backlash: You suffer from 60% Muscle Fatigue and a temporary decrease in all of your stats. (-30%).

Despite the backlash, 10 minutes was more than enough for her to deal with these five. Plus, the extra stat increases are extremely helpful considering that all of them were higher level than her.

Phantom Path + Refraction + Sword Domain + Hollow Deceit + Takemikazuchi Technique!

After using all of her skills through a myriad of battles, she was now proficient enough with them to the point where she can activate them all at the same time through just her body control rather than through the system.

Flickering from her spot, she immediately appeared before Dante, the Spellthief. She knew of the cla.s.s's capabilities and it was not one she wanted to leave alone in a team fight.

Looking at the white haired woman that appeared in front of him, Dante's eyes widened in fear as a red tether linked the two of them together.

"You're the first one." s.h.i.+ro whispered towards Dante.

Her eyes seemed to glow under the moonlight as his movements felt sluggish. Normally, he could have raised his sword to defend himself or even steal her magic but time seemed to slow down and he was rendered defenceless.

Suddenly, a chain accurately wrapped around s.h.i.+ro's waist despite the other clones and tried to pull her away.

Unfortunately for the group of adventurers, this is where her skill: Hollow Deceit came into use. Switching places with one of her clones, her sword dug deep into Dante's spine.

Twisting her body, she cut her sword the spine, before pus.h.i.+ng foward, piercing his throat.

Flipping her body up onto the sword, she managed to dodge a few sword swipes from Lorenzo who tried to sneak up on her. Reinforcing her leg strength, she kicked the head as hard as she could and launched it towards Aneta to throw off her aim with the bow.

With Dante dead, the Roman didn't have to worry about hitting his ally and swung his greatsword towards her.

Jumping into the rift, she exited above the group and aimed her palm at the greatsword wielding adventurer.

Frozen h.e.l.l – Frozen Slumber!

Suddenly, the snowflakes that had been falling from the sky morphed into chains and lashed out towards him, locking him in place.

Once again, a red tether appeared between the two of them as her blade travelled towards his neck.

However, Darci was prepared.

Activating one of her skills, blood drained from Dante's body and started to pierce towards s.h.i.+ro.

Sensing danger, s.h.i.+ro cut her attack short and sent out a pulse of air, moving her body to the side and barely avoiding the blood that tried to pierce her body.

a.n.a.lysing the current state of the fight, she understood that Darci was probably the most troublesome one due to her utility.

Pulling down her mask, she breathed out a wave of cold air and activated her skill: Elemental Breath.

The cold air slowly solidified into a wave of ice needles that shot towards Darci.

Seeing this, she tried to dodge out of the way but chains had already locked her foot in place, causing her to trip towards the needles.

"ARGGG!!!!" Crying out in pain, the needles dug deep into her body while the ones that pierced her eyes shattered them to dust.

"The second one." s.h.i.+ro whispered like a grim reaper as she appeared behind her.

Gently wrapping her hands around Darci's head, she snapped her neck and pierced her sword down into Darci's body, pinning her corpse to the roof of the building.

Shocked at s.h.i.+ro's performance, the other three did not hesitate to pierce their weapons into their own bodies.

Suddenly. black armour started to wrap around their bodies as their eyes seemed to glaze over.

Pulling back on her bowstring, Aneta sent out a flaming arrow that started to melt everything around it.

Twisting her body, s.h.i.+ro was about to cut the arrow in half when it split apart into dragon heads and bit at her body.

Before they could even rejoice at the first proper hit they had dealt to s.h.i.+ro, several copies of Athera appeared beside her and blocked the dragon heads from harming her body.

"Sorry to tell you but Athera isn't one sword. It's multiple." s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes with a grin.

Grabbing a second copy of Athera with her spare hand, she kicked against the floor and dashed towards Roman.

"URAHH!!!" Shouting out in anger, a red glow encased his body as his sword cleaved towards her body.

Raising up her spare hand, she stepped to the side and parried his blade. Just as she was about to use her main hand, a second blade entered her peripherals as Lorenzo's blade was coming closer to stabbing her head.

However, she didn't hesitate at all.

With a single mental command, the remaining copies of Athera pierced towards him and skewered his body.

Stomping down against the ground, two pillars of ice erupted out beside her and slammed against Roman and Lorenzo's body, sending them into the air.

Force of Elements!

Activating her force of elements, she infused three elements into the skill as a giant multicolour blade descended from the sky, piercing their bodies and cleaved them in half.

With these two dead, the only one who remained was Aneta.

Before she could even think about running, s.h.i.+ro pivoted on her foot and activated Borealis' Lance.

*BANG!!!!

Smas.h.i.+ng through Aneta's body like it was nothing, the lance left behind a gaping hole in her chest as blood poured out the wound.

"Don't glare at me like that, blame the fact that you were unlucky and hurt the wrong person." s.h.i.+ro leaned next to Aneta's ear before crus.h.i.+ng her head with her hands.

Kicking the corpse aside, she punched a hole in the roof and made her way to the top floor of this building. After all, her goal was to retrieve Helion's research.
