Chapter 430 Surprise Poke Part 2
Watching the spear flicker with lightning, Shiro did some mental calculations on how long it would take for Aki to get out of the cave.
While she was waiting, she observed the dragon through her orb in order to make sure that it wasn’t woken up by her spell.
Thankfully, it seemed to be in quite a deep slumber so she didn’t need to be worried. With their distance, she could charge it up more and still be in the clear. Of course, she wasn’t going to do that since she only had a limited amount of energy to work with. Currently, after making the spear, she had around 35% of her energy left which should be enough for her to run away at full speed.
Waiting patiently so that Aki had enough time to at least get out of the cave, Shiro narrowed her eyes and threw the orb into the sky.
Snapping her finger, the orb started to unwrap itself and revealed a magic circle that flickered with a purple light.
’Right then…… hopefully, my calculations are correct and my portal should work. If it works, the spear would be instantly transported to where the dragon is and pierce its ass.’ Shiro thought to herself.
Narrowing her eyes at the lightning spear, she took a deep breath and started to rotate the giant construct.
Watching the spear essentially transformed into a giant bullet, Shiro grinned and slammed her hand downwards.
Following her gesture, spear started to fall. Thunder crackled loudly as the magic circle activated and the portal was connected.
"Good morning!" Shiro shouted out with a grin.
*BANG!!!!
Suddenly feeling a surge of Celestial Energy nearby, the dragon opened his eyes slowly and looked around in confusion. Feeling danger overwhelm his senses, the dragon snarled for a moment before standing up with his guard up.
However, just as he did this, a giant rotating Lightning Spear exited out of the portal. And shot up the only vulnerable part of his body at this moment.
Widening his eyes at the sudden impact, the dragon reared its head back and opened its jaws.
*URAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hearing the painful scream of the dragon, Shiro giggled in excitement and flew into the air.
*BOOM!!!!!!
Right after the scream, a pillar of hell fire exploded into the sky as the mountain, where the dragon was resting in, was disintegrated in an instant.
*CRACK!!!! BANG!!!
Pushing some of the left-over debris away, a pair of crimson wings pushed past the dust and fire.
Suppressing her giggle, Shiro made a second lightning spear only this time, it was smaller in size so that it didn’t drain much of her energy.
"Yo! Dragon! Did you like the wake up call!" Shiro shouted out as she could feel a pair of enraged eyes glare at her.
Before she could speak another sentence, her vision was instantly filled with red as the dragon had tried to kill her with a dragon breath.
Slamming her lightning spear into the breath, she used the slight delay to fly into the sky.
"Is that the best you can do? If someone poked me in the butt, I would try harder to kill them you know!" Shiro laughed.
*URAHH!!!!!
Flapping its giant wings, the dragon lifted its body out of the destroyed cave.
*Whistle~
"Seems like you- HOLY SH*T!" Crying out in surprise, Shiro was shocked that a meteor had been formed directly above her.
Quickly navigating out of the way, she narrowly dodged the meteor and watched as the rock smashed into the ground, causing a rather big crater to be formed.
"Ok enough playing around now. I need to take things seriously." Shiro muttered and activated her Rift Shadow armour.
Glancing back at the dragon, Shiro saw that he had his sights firmly locked onto her and nodded with satisfaction.
’Time to start one of the world’s most dangerous games of cat and mouse.’ She thought to herself and increased her speed with the help of the rift. Naturally, she made sure that she didn’t go too far or else the dragon might lose sight of where she was.

"Tam."
"Yeah?"
"What do you think the second young miss did to piss off the dragon this much?" Tam asked as he looked at the calamity that was following behind Shiro.
"Do you think the flickers of lightning under the dragon’s tail explains what she had done?"
"She did make a huge lightning spear. But surely she wouldn’t be that cruel right? Plus, if she did that, I’m pretty sure that the dragon will literally go after her until this grudge is solved."
"Did you forget that she asked Aki to set the orb near the dragon’s ass?" The other guard sighed.
". . . I suppose she did do what first young miss instructed her to do. I’ll admit though, if I was in her place right now, I’ll be killed in an instant."
"No sh*t. There’s meteors, fire breaths, fire pillars, flare waves and even the occasional explosion in the area around her. We’ll probably die the moment we get near her due to collateral damage so the best thing we can do now is make sure that everyone survives."
"Mn, let’s go get Aki first."
While this was all happening, the sight of an armageddon did not escape the Teriu guard’s notice as they quickly sounded the alarm for a max level emergency.
Hearing the alarm, the families quickly gathered and saw the rapidly closing dragon in the distance and couldn’t help but worry.
Seeing that the dragon is literally using all of its spells without restrain, they knew that it was clearly enraged so the only thing they can do right now is to attack it until it almost dies and retreat. The option of killing it is also available but that would be much harder since the moment the dragon deems survival impossible, it would try to take down as many things as it can before it dies.
Should the dragon choose to self-destruct, the entire city of Teriu will be flattened in an instant.
Quickly coming to an agreement on what they should do, they dispatched all of their most powerful soldiers in order to face this dragon in Teriu forest before it can cause the city any harm.

’Hmm…… I can see the city now.’ Shiro thought while narrowing her eyes.
Dodging another fire breath, she kept her eyes towards the city and saw that they had deployed guards to stop the dragon from advancing.
’Tch, I can’t attack them or bring the dragon any closer since I don’t have the energy for that. But if anything, I suppose the only thing left for me to do is to poke the hornet’s nest more I guess.’ Shiro thought to herself.
Turning around in the air, she created another lightning spear along with three portals. Two to attack and one to escape.
Throwing the spear into the portal, she tried to ’poke’ it once more but the spear was knocked aside by the tail.
But despite her failed attempt, the dragon seemed to go from angry to batsh*t insane since the girl in front of her had tried the same thing twice.
"Welp, my job is done. My ’supports’ shall deal with you." Shiro shouted out as her armour lost its l.u.s.tre as her stored energy depleted.
Falling into the third portal that she had created, she quickly left the area before she could be hit by a meteor.
Seeing that its target suddenly disappeared, the dragon roared out in anger as it glared towards the incoming ’support’ that its target had mentioned.
’Since they’re the support, if I kill them, she should appear again!’ He thought in anger. However, had he not been ’poked’ twice and had been angered beyond repair, he would have realised that he was being led by the nose.
Unfortunately, being ’poked’ twice doesn’t exactly allow one to think straight.
###
"Urg!" Rolling across the ground after falling through the portal, Shiro quickly flipped herself back on her feet and saw that she was back at the cave where she had poked the dragon.
Sighing in relief, she made her way out of the charred crater where a mountain should be.
Just as she made her way out of the crater, she felt the ground shake slightly as if it was experiencing an earthquake.
Shaking her head, she dismissed it as the dragon wreaking havoc in the distance and ignored it. Looking up, she was about to go about her merry way when her eyes widened with shock.
Running towards her direction as if he was an Olympic sprinter, the giant was running towards where the dragon is with anger in his eyes and it just so happened that Shiro was between him and the dragon.
"Ahhhh f*ck."
