"URAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Painful howls filled the air as it attracted everyone’s attention in the battlefield.

  While screams were naturally part of war, such deeply felt pain was far from natural. Akin to the howls a broken man would have when losing his entire family in front of him, the enemy shouted without restraint.

  Despite his ears hurting from the scream, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and did not stop.

  Twirling his dagger with impressive dexterity, he dismantled the man’s rear as if it was a chicken being prepared for dinner.

  Looking at this scene, Keomi gasped in horror and shock while Shiro grinned with excitement.

  ’He has potential. I’ll allow him to be with Silvia since he has proven himself worthy.’ She thought with an appreciative nod.

  {What the hell are your standards for men to be with the party members?! Poor Chen Yu had to give up a part of him for you to actually acknowledge him.} Nimue protested.

  ’Well everyone in this party has given up something. It’s called sanity. Chen Yu just gave up shame to be with Silvi.’ Shiro chuckled.

  Focusing back on the fight, they saw the party restraining the level 100 through buffing Chen Yu. While the enemy did try to get Chen, Madison was able to draw his aggro away. Eventually, they managed to kill him through constantly buffing Chen Yu.

  Looking at the man who was bleeding profusely from his rear while dead on the ground, Chen Yu wiped away his sweat and raised an eyebrow.

  "Huh…… this weakness is pretty helpful in the end. While it can’t instant kill like with the neck or heart, it can definitely restrain them……" He muttered.

  "I swear if you make it a habit I’ll ram my staff up your ass instead!" Silvia humphed in annoyance.

  "Don’t be like that Silvi, Chen Yu here makes a good point." Shiro called out with a grin, revealing themselves from the air.

  "Shiro! You were watching!?" Both Madison and Chen Yu widened their eyes.

  "Yup. Don’t worry about it though, like I told Silvi, I’ll make sure that none of you die. Plus, Chen Yu was able to see how effective the weakness truly is so that’s a bonus." Shiro chuckled.

  Sighing slightly, they shook their heads.

  "So what now?" Madison asked as they quickly looted the body of the level 100.

  "Me and Keomi will be going to the north to assassinate someone so I want you to regroup with Lyrica’s group and make your way to the south. There should be only one orphanage so everyone should stay there for the time being until I come back. Of course, you can also go roam some more but your mana isn’t looking too good."

  Giving the group a tablet that had Lyrica’s coordinates, they talked for a little longer before leaving with Yin.

  Since she was still quite low levelled, she would be in grave danger should she follow them to the watchtower.

  "Now that they’re gone, shall we make our way over there as well?" Shiro asked with a smile.

  "Mn, sure."

  Dashing over the rooftops, they arrived in front of the northern watch tower relatively quickly.

  "Let’s see…… we’ll invade from the top and make our way down." Shiro suggested since both Morthil and the third prince were closer to the top and it would make their travel distance shorter.

  "I’m fine as long as we can kill them." Keomi smiled while cracking her knuckles.

  "That’s good then. Let’s go."

  Grabbing Keomi’s hand, Shiro dashed up the side of the building before entering the rift.

  ###

  "So you’re telling me, that Shiro was able to counter you despite being basically 40 levels below you?" Blythe raised his eyebrows.

  "Indeed. If she didn’t have Rising Sun to help her, I would have killed her for sure." Morthil frowned.

  "Hm…… So that means that there’s a big possibility that she’s with first brother. Since that’s the case, I’ll give her one more chance to come to my side before dealing with her." Blythe shook his head.

  "But your highness! She’s too dangerous to be kept alive!" Morthil shouted out in an attempt to convince the prince.

  "Shut it. How dare you shout at me." Blythe frowned.

  Flinching slightly, Morthil could only grit his teeth and accept it.

  However, before they could say anything else, they felt mana fluctuate behind them. A portal opened up to reveal Keomi who had a flaming fist and a mad grin. Without hesitation, she twisted her body and pushed a hole through Morthil’s body.

  *BANG!

  Blood sprayed everywhere in the office as Blythe was bathed in the blood of his subordinate.

  Widening his eyes, he tried to activate a domain but was stopped when Shiro’s arms wrapped around his head.

  "Hush prince, just let us kill Morthil and you can do whatever you want to my body~" Shiro muttered seductively next to his ear. This caused a chill to run through his body as his reactions were delayed.

  Giving Keomi the time she needed to properly finish Morthil off, Shiro threw a dagger at his head so that she can get some assistance EXP.

  Clutching her fist, Keomi narrowed her eyes and pulled it out of Morthil’s body.

  With the hole in his torso, she then forced both fists in and ripped him in half. While this was happening, Shiro had stabbed Ataraxia through Blythe’s back.

  "GAH!"

  Looking down at the sword that was pierced through stomach, rage filled Blythe’s mind.

  Unfortunately for him, the deed was done and Shiro was free to leave with Keomi.

  With Morthil’s death, the third prince had lost one of his most powerful commanders.

  "Keomi!" Shiro shouted out while flipping over Blythe. Grabbing Keomi’s hand, she jumped into the rift and fled the area.

  "God damn it!!!" Blythe shouted out as his aura became berserk.

  Activating a sealing domain mixed with a tracking domain, he searched for Shiro’s whereabouts.

  "Found you." He said through gritted teeth. Activating some domains that buffed his speed and self heal, he charged after the duo.

  ###

  "Big sis, he’s coming for us." Keomi warned with a frown.

  "I know. Setting that aside, have you got Morthil’s loot?"

  "Yes I have. Surprisingly, he didn’t carry much on him in terms of useful items." Keomi replied in slight disappointment. Whether that was because the third prince essentially had a collar around Morthil’s neck or the fact that he was confident in not needing items, it was still strange for such a high level being to have such a lack of items.

  "Well at least we got something. We’ll be traveling out of the rift for now. I’ll set up a diversion." Shiro shook her head.

  Jumping out of the rift, they landed on a nearby building. Shiro activated Fae Illusions and had several identical copies of them

  *BANG!!

  Crashing through the roof of the tower, Blythe glared at the illusions with anger.

  Furrowing his brows, he tried to find the real one but failed.

  "Tch, you dare use illusions against me!?" He frowned and pulled out an item.

  Looking at that item, Shiro widened her eyes.

  "Oh sh*t, Keomi, we need to run quick unless we’re willing to use everything against him!" Shiro warned while dragging Keomi by the arm.

  "Eh?! Why?" Keomi asked in confusion.

  "That item is called the Executioner’s Requiem. We’re not ready to fight against that right now. If we try, we’ll need to make sure that we’re betting with our lives on the line." Shiro warned while narrowing her eyes.

  One of the other reasons that she didn’t want to fight the relic right now was because of the fact that she’ll need to use her Nanomancer class if she wanted to guarantee her survival.

  Even though Keomi was her sister, it was still a risk to show such an advanced class to someone she barely knew.

  *BOOM!!!!

  A large tier 4 magic circle expanded out rapidly and shadowed a large portion of the city.

  Snapping his fingers, Bltyhe grinned while a soft and creepy melody drifted through the area.

  Shiro’s face paled slightly as she stumbled on her feet.

  "Damn it, he’s already unlocked the second ability." She muttered with a frown.

  Executioner’s Requiem had several abilities that would unlock as the corruption spread. Its base ability was a near unbreakable illusion that was limited by it’s huge mana drain. As for its second ability, it was one that would confuse the brain.

  If one wanted to move their hand, their leg would move instead. This would be randomised continuously every 5 seconds making it hard for a person to react.

  Taking a deep breath, Shiro decided to try her best to delay Blythe so that he runs out of mana. That was the only feasible way that she can guarantee their survival right now.
