Looking at the shocked expression on Edvimar's face, s.h.i.+ro couldn't blame him since she was just as shocked when she saw him from the distance. The moment his face was revealed, she understood why it seemed so familiar to her.

However, they could talk later after she dealt with the Beast Queen.

Looking back at the Beast Queen, s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes.

"You can speak now." s.h.i.+ro said with a smirk as Thiria chuckled.

"Look at how your ego has grown. Did becoming an Empress-"

"Of course my ego has grown. Have you seen me? I know it's painful for someone like you to crane your neck up to see someone as fabulous as me but can you blame me? Don't I just look adorable?" s.h.i.+ro cut her off smugly while flipping her hair.

She just wanted to p.i.s.s her opponents off so that their attention is distracted. After all, there was something special being created just for her beneath her feet. It would be quite sad to see it miss.

Being cut off for the second time, Thiria stopped smiling as she could already feel anger building up.

"Rude one aren't y-"

"I wouldn't say rude but it's more about who has the priority of speaking you know? As an Empress, I'm one rank higher than you. I'm technically your senior in terms of rank. Of course, age might be a different matter since a granny like you deserves some respect. Even if you're already a foot in the grave." s.h.i.+ro sighed with a shrug.

"F*ck it." Thiria cursed as her aura burst forth.

Snapping her fingers, s.h.i.+ro destroyed all of the magic circles that tried to form themselves by enhancing her nan.o.bots with celestial path. Since she had reached tier 8 in attunement, her control over nan.o.bots had increased dramatically.

She can replicate the effects of her upgraded Celestial path by spreading particles of nan.o.bots into the air.

"I shouldn't have said that should I? Old people like you are p.r.o.ne to heart attacks. If I say any more, you might die on me." s.h.i.+ro snickered.

Just as Thiria opened her mouth to retort, a nanotech spike shot out of the ground as chains wrapped around her leg, preventing her from running.

Widening her eyes, Thiria didn't hesitate to cut off her legs as she flipped back, dodging the spike.

"Che, I was trying to do you a favour too. An old person like you won't get any action in bed. I can promise you that the spike will give you 100% pleasure. I know it's a little intimidating since it's sharp but once you get used to it, it'll be fine. Though I haven't tried it out myself." s.h.i.+ro shrugged.

"Oh but don't worry, I have great reviews of those that have tried this out. None of them submitted negative reviews." s.h.i.+ro clapped her hands together with a smile.

Furrowing her brows, Thiria healed her legs.

Before she could even activate another spell, she felt danger behind her as she quickly activated a barrier.

*PING!!!!

Watching the barrier shatter to pieces, Thiria widened her eyes in shock as s.h.i.+ro's sword lacerated into her body.

Nan.o.bots exploded out as s.h.i.+ro immediately had a full scan of Thiria's body but before she could outright kill her, Thiria traded places with a clone.

Stepping out of a portal, she narrowed her eyes at s.h.i.+ro who was demonstrating raw power much higher than what she should currently have.

"Yeesh, you're an annoying one to kill aren't you? Though I can't say anything since I'm not any better." s.h.i.+ro smirked.

"It's a shame but I'll admit. I'm not a match for you right now." Thiria narrowed her eyes.

"Right now? Aren't you confident." s.h.i.+ro chuckled.

Shrugging her shoulders, darkness enveloped the area as a giant set of jaws appeared in the air.

Quickly looking up, s.h.i.+ro swiped her hand up as a saw blade materialised in the air and shredded the beast in half. Quickly slamming her hand down, s.h.i.+ro tried to activate the nan.o.bots she had placed on Thiria's body but she had already traded places with another clone.

Sighing softly, s.h.i.+ro felt a little annoyed but this was expected. With the progression of the weapon, the power that she could lend to this avatar was decreasing. Her attacks are 70% effects and 30% power and her power was decreasing with each pa.s.sing moment. It's actually quite good that Thiria decided to run since s.h.i.+ro wouldn't have been able to do much if she stayed.

'While I do want to kill her now like what my future self had suggested, it's a little difficult.' s.h.i.+ro thought to herself before turning to the party of humans behind Edvimar. When she had arrived, she made sure to check their souls to see if they were 'good or evil' and surprisingly, all of their souls are pretty clean. The muscular guy seemed to be a little tainted but his soul was becoming slightly cleaner with each pa.s.sing moment which meant that he was trying to correct his actions. As for the monster, it was the purest of all of them.

Landing in front of Edvimar, s.h.i.+ro scanned his body since she noticed that he was injured.

Realising that it was a soul injury, much like the one she had suffered, s.h.i.+ro frowned.

"What happened? How come you're here?" s.h.i.+ro asked as Edvimar sighed.

"It's a long story but how is Isilia?" Edvimar asked as s.h.i.+ro smiled.

"Don't worry, she's safe. Right now she is helping me with a task. But before we talk about her, I want to know why you're here. If my information is correct, you should be dead." s.h.i.+ro asked as Edvimar nodded.

"I know. It's a long story but trust me on this, I need to warn Isilia. Someone is after her life."

"Who?" s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes as she wasn't about to let someone kill her best friend after she had just got her back.

"Let's talk elsewhere. This place is not safe." Edvimar suggested as s.h.i.+ro nodded her head.

"Sure. Would the rest of you be interested in coming to my city? Don't worry, there are no contracts involved and as long as your friend doesn't attack people, which I doubt, we won't have any problems." s.h.i.+ro asked as she turned to the rest of the group.

Looking at one another, they glanced at a Lyle who couldn't take his eyes off the corpse of his brother Eric.

Kneeling in front of the ma.s.s of flesh, his body shook as s.h.i.+ro noticed a dark aura wrapping around his body. Immediately noticing that it was a sign of transforming into a fallen, s.h.i.+ro didn't hesitate to flicker behind him and knock him out.

"What are you doing!" Cadmi shouted out in shock as s.h.i.+ro glanced back.

"Sorry, I had to knock him out since if I left him alone, he'll never be able to return. He was about to transform into a fallen over his grief and in this state, his only goal would probably be to kill the Beast Queen. Once that is complete, he'll become a mindless beast with his conscience consumed by the system." s.h.i.+ro explained patiently as she quickly healed Lyle's body before handing him over to Asher who seemed to be the leader of the group.

"So what do you say? If you don't want to come to the city that's fine too." s.h.i.+ro asked as Asher glanced back at the group.

"I hate to admit it but we're a bit over our heads with this one. If Edvimar trusts her, I'll trust her too. I'm planning to go with them." Asher said as Cadmi and Gordon paused for a moment before nodding their heads.

"Perfect. Oh by the way, everything you saw earlier is a bit of an act to annoy the Queen. I'm not usually like that ok?" s.h.i.+ro apologised with a soft chuckle and opened up a portal.

"Edvimar, I'll need to borrow Isilia for a bit longer but once she's done with her task, I'll send her directly to you ok?" s.h.i.+ro smiled as he furrowed his brows.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't take long. The relic will be appearing in around 8 minutes so I'll hand her back to you then. For now, you can talk with your daughter instead. I'm sure she'll be happy to see her father alive and well." s.h.i.+ro smiled as Edvimar widened her eyes.

"Wait, my daughter is with you too?"

"Mn, Lyrica is in the city right now so you should catch up with her during the 8 minutes." s.h.i.+ro nodded her head as Edvimar could feel his heart pound. At best, he was hoping that in the time he had left, he would be able to see his wife. He didn't want to be too greedy and ask for more but the fact that he could meet his daughter was nothing less of miraculous to him.

Suppressing his emotions right now, he looked at s.h.i.+ro and opened his mouth.

"Thank you." He said before rus.h.i.+ng through the portal.

"You're welcome." s.h.i.+ro replied.

Glancing to the rest of the party, she gestured for them to enter the portal.

As they each entered, s.h.i.+ro glanced towards the peak for a moment before closing the portal. Now that she had sent them to safety, she'll continue her travel towards the peak.
