With Gravity weighing down the boss’ body, the party had an easy time knocking him down to the floor.

  Since she knew that she would probably deal a large amount of damage to the boss, Shiro stuck with the role of control mage.

  Waving her hand, several tier 5 magic circles appeared around the boss as ice chains pinned his body to the ground.

  Seeing the chains, Shiro couldn’t help but wonder how her future self achieved the feat of dragging souls out with the black chains. From her knowledge, the only way she could come into contact with people’s souls are her Soul Sword and the extraction skill. However, both of these skills essentially killed them since one seals them away while the other consumes it.

  ’Maybe she found a way to merge the powers of the Soul Sword with the chain? Though to be honest, the Soul Sword is a representation of my soul turned into a sword. So if I follow that logic and instead of turning it to a sword, If I turn it into a chain, would that work?" She thought to herself.

  However, she didn’t fully understand how her Soul Sword worked so doing so might harm her instead.

  Shaking her head, she focused on the task at hand.

  Dropping the boss’ HP to 80%, the party noticed a giant surge of mana in the surroundings.

  *PING!!

  Shattering the ice chains into pieces, the Judge stood up as a phantom chair appeared behind him.

  While this was happening, a court of sorts could be seen slowly forming around them as their skills were halted.

  "First question!" The Judge shouted out.

  Pointing his hammer towards Helion, there was a red glow in his eyes.

  "What is your most embarrassing secret regarding s.e.x.u.a.l activity?"

  "WHAT THE F*CK!" Crying out in surprise, Helion couldn’t help widening his eyes in embarrassment while Aarim started to laugh out loud.

  "HAHAHA!!! Go on Heli! Tell us your most embarrassing secret!" Aarim laughed as she held her stomach from the pain.

  "I refuse!" Helion glared at the judge as he received the Judge’s Contempt debuff which decreased his movement speed and attack.

  "Second question!" The Judge shouted out once more.

  Pointing his hammer at the laughing Aarim, his eyes glowed with an ominous red.

  "What is your strangest encounter with self pleasure?"

  "PFT!!! KARMA’S A B*TCH!" Helion jumped for joy as Aarim’s face flushed with embarrassment.

  "Go eat a d*ck you dumbass judge! I refuse to answer!" Aarim flipped her middle finger towards the Judge.

  Receiving the debuff as well, the party waited for the final victim of his questions.

  "Third question!"

  Pointing his hammer at Shiro, the Judge opened his mouth.

  "What is the most s.e.x.u.a.l act that you have ever committed?"

  Feeling her smile twitch, Shiro opened her mouth.

  "I held hands with my childhood crush when I was a kid." She replied as she could feel her face heat up a little.

  {That’s the most s.e.x.u.a.l act that you’ve ever done??? Pft!} Nimue snickered as Shiro couldn’t help but throw a nanotech table towards Nimue in her mana realm.

  As for the party, they only had one thought in regard to this.

  ’How pure.’


  With the three questions asked, the fight resumed but Aarim and Helion had to be a bit careful due to the debuffs. Thankfully, with Silvia’s presence, she was able to relieve a portion of debuff.

  As the fight continued, the boss reached 60% HP and the court was summoned once more.

  "You know, I don’t mind if you kill this guy in one shot." Lyrica said with a smile.

  "Nah it’s fine, it’s fun like this no?" Shiro grinned.

  The victim of the first question Yin.

  "What’s your favourite food?"

  "!!!" Pausing in surprise, Yin didn’t know the answer to this question as she liked a lot of dishes. Naturally, there was bound to be a favourite but she didn’t know which one it was.

  Unfortunately, she took too long and received the debuff.

  The second victim was Madison as she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva in nervousness.

  "Who do you love?"

  Hearing this question, everyone in the party snapped their head towards Madison as they didn’t expect her to love someone.

  "What!? I can love as well you know!" Madison shouted back with a blush.

  "Who is it then?" Shiro asked with an interested smile.

  Biting her lower lip, she shook her head.

  "I refuse to answer!"

  "Aw…… kill joy." Shiro pouted slightly since she was interested in the answer.

  Surprisingly, the victim of the third question was Shiro again.

  "What’s the most s.e.x.u.a.l thought you had about someone?"

  "Wait a f*cking moment." Shiro cut in immediately as she knew the answer to this question.

  {Fufufu~ Go on Shiro, answer, didn’t you say that it was more fun this way?} Nimue teased with a smug smile.

  The thing with this question wasn’t the s.e.x.u.a.l act but rather s.e.x.u.a.l thought. Meaning how far she had imagined herself with.

  Feeling the party’s gaze on her, Shiro shook her head.

  "I refuse to answer." She replied.

  "Kill joy huh? Look who’s talking now." Madison huffed.

  *Cough!

  Scratching her head, she looked back at Lyrica.

  "You don’t mind if I kill him as quickly as I can now do you?" Shiro asked with a forced smile.

  "Nope. Be my guest."

  Taking a deep breath, Shiro narrowed her eyes towards the judge. This was a perfect time to test out some of her skills. Though she wasn’t going to test out the unseen blade just yet since she’s saving that one for the final boss.

  Activating Encroaching Darkness along with her Celestial Raiment.

  Suddenly, black mist started to surround the room as the darkness filled their vision.

  With the passive of her Sigil of Night, Shiro’s stats started to increase as she summoned Athera into her hand.

  Making a bracelet with the Skill True Sight that allowed her to ignore 90% of their armour after reaching a certain amount of understanding on her enemy.

  Attempting to activate the skill, she clicked her tongue after seeing it fail to activate however it made sense. They’ve been making sure the boss couldn’t move so it was a bit much to ask for a good understanding of him.

  Shaking her head, she opted for a different approach.

  Remembering the control her older self demonstrated over her skills without the use of the system, Shiro figured that she could probably merge properties of her skills so long as she had an adequate understanding of the skill itself.

  Activating her Force of Elements, she combined a few of her elements together and attempted to merge it with her sword.

  Replacing the illusionary sword that the skill summons with Athera, Shiro watched as her mana was funnelled into Athera as the blade hummed with a soft ring.

  ’The efficiency of this is much lower than I had expected. A lot of mana is escaping but it’s a start I suppose.’ She thought to herself with a smile.

  Activating a few more skills such as Hollow Deceit and Kietoma, Shiro’s body disappeared from her spot.

  Appearing in front of the boss, she twisted her body and swung her blade.

  *BANG!!!!!

  Watching the blade lacerate into the Judge’s body, she could see a giant wound opening up as blood poured out in large waves.

  However, his health stopped around the 15% mark.

  "Ah well this is a bit awkward." Shiro’s smile twitched. She understood that the debuff she suffered probably caused her to fail her attack due to the lack of damage.

  *BANG!!!

  A fist suddenly appeared in front of her as her body was sent flying to the edge of the room.

  Quickly activating her healing spells, Silvia managed to bring her back to full health.

  Crawling out of the debris, Shiro patted herself down and looked towards the judge with a complicated expression.

  [Hidden Boss Discovered. Hell Fury Judge.]

  Looking at the judge who now had an aura of malice around him, the illusionary image of asura could be seen covering his body as glowing red tattoo’s started to appear on his body. His clothes were shredded by the surge of mana as armour covered his arms, waist and legs, leaving his muscular body exposed. His skin turned a deep shade of red as two giant hammers appeared in each hand.

  "This is certainly a predicament. I think I should avoid trying to one hit them in the future unless I can guarantee that I will kill them for sure." Shiro muttered.

  After all, the level of the judge was much higher than what they had expected.
