Hovering in the air, she looked towards the slightly wounded Dominic with narrowed eyes.

  Taking a few deep breaths, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

  "Who sent you." He asked with a glare.

  "No one. I just think that you’re in my way." Shiro chuckled and aimed her gun towards his head.

  "What bad luck." He sighed and lit up a cigarette.

  Slamming his hands down, a giant tier 5 magic circle erupted beneath him.

  *URAHHHH!!!!

  Suddenly, hundreds of dragon roars could be heard as Shiro pulled the trigger on her gun.

  *BANG!!!

  Dodging out of the way just in time, the bullet missed his head but tore out a chunk of his shoulder instead.

  ’Since it’s my first proper fight after reaching tier 5, I should have a bit of fun no? If I just one shot everyone at my full power, it would be quite boring after all.’ Shiro thought with a chuckle.

  {Don’t get too carried away now. Sometimes underestimating someone might just bite you back in the ass.} Nimue reminded with a chuckle.

  ’Don’t worry. If the dragons become annoying, I have a way to deal with them all and it doesn’t require any shooting or large scale destruction spell.’ Shiro reassured with a grin.

  {If you say so. Since you’re gonna have some fun, make it entertaining for Attie.}

  ’Of course.’


  Summoning Athera, she waited for the first dragon to appear.

  However, instead of seeing the giant reptile beast, she was greeted with a face full of dragon breaths.

  Rolling her eyes, she took a deep breath and used her own breath attack. Using ice as a counter, steam filled the area as she was about to match the output of several dragons which showed the might of her magic power.

  Furrowing his brows, Dominic couldn’t help but realise that he was heavily outmatched in this situation. Against an opponent like this, numbers weren’t going to work and he had to double down on singular strength instead.

  Biting his thumb, he started to draw out a magic circle out of blood as more and more dragons appeared around him. Charging towards Shiro, their main goal was to delay her until he could summon the elder dragons.

  Side stepping the first dragon that had tried to bite her in half, Shiro twisted her body and swiped down with her sword.

  *PUCHI!!!

  Shredding through the scale like it was nothing, her armour pierce stats were showing their might as a dragon’s armour was one of the toughest in the monster world.

  Summoning the remaining copies of Athera, she eyed the other dragons that were circling around her before looking towards Dominic.

  Activating her Analysis skill, she immediately deciphered the magic circle and understood that it was summoning powerful dragons that were around mid to late stages of tier 5.

  ’Hou hou…… I wonder if Rakurth is part of them.’ Shiro thought to herself.

  Fending off a few more dragons with ease, Shiro wondered how she even allowed the destruction of the City to begin with.

  {Do you think it’s due to the demons?} Nimue suggested.

  ’Perhaps. I can target multiple people easily in the early tiers because the fire power of each individual was still low. But against tier 5’s, if I’m not careful, I’ll be heavily wounded since my defence is paper thin for a tier 5 entity. Since the demons have multiple tier 5 beings, as in they have 100, it would make sense that I won’t be able to target all of them.’ Shiro replied.

  Flaring her mana, she sent out a wave of cold mist as the dragons which were unlucky enough to be caught up were frozen in an instant.

  Snapping her fingers, cracks started to appear on their bodies and they weren’t killed instantly, which surprised Shiro.

  However, once she saw that they were preventing themselves from being completely frozen, it made sense for them to survive.

  Shrugging her shoulders, she finished off the wounded dragons with a few sword swing.

  "That’s a pretty interesting magic circle you have here." Shiro smiled as she appeared behind Dominic. Stabbing a sword through his back, she pinned him against the ground as the magic circle started to flicker.

  Gritting his teeth, Dominic activated a few of his berserk skills. Draconic armour started to form around him as he grabbed Shiro’s wrist and flung her off his back.

  ’A woman?’ He thought to himself in surprise due to her masculine voice. However, regardless of her gender, his life was in danger.

  "A surprising burst of strength. Are you going to fight me personally?" Shiro chuckled while landing on the ground softly.

  Without saying anything, Dominic reached into his inventory and pulled out a beating heart which disgusted Shiro a little.

  Opening his mouth, he took a large bit of the heart and proceeded to eat it.

  "The f*ck is wrong with you? I know I’m about to kill you but do you have to eat a heart?" Shiro raised her eyebrow.

  Right after he finished eating the heart, Shiro immediately noticed the sudden increase of mana within his body. His aura seemed more chaotic as it was similar to that of a crazed dragon.

  Disappearing from his spot, he reappeared above her and tried to kick down.

  However, Shiro only raised her hand and created a nanotech bracelet. Stacking a few strength boosting skills, she blocked the kick which caused the ground around her to shatter from the force.

  "Is that all?" Shiro looked up towards Dominic.

  Gritting his teeth, he twisted his body and tried to knee her on the back of the head.

  Ducking underneath him, she created a wave of pressurised air and sent him flying into the sky.

  Unfurling a set of draconic wings, he ordered the dragons to charge towards her.

  Grinning slightly, Shiro activated her new skill, Divine Enchantment.

  Once per day, she is allowed to enchant one of her skills, evolving it to the next tier. Meaning, she can use this on her Eyes of the Gorgon.

  Feeling a wave of power surge through her eyes, she closed them for a brief moment before glaring at the horde of dragons along with Dominic.

  Alarms started to ring out in Dominic’s mind as he quickly turned around. Unfortunately for him, the Eyes of the Gorgon still worked even if you look away.

  With the skill now in the realm of tier 6, it was harder to resist.

  Turning all of the dragons into stone in an instant, she sent out a wave of nanotech needles to shatter them.

  As for Dominic, he was barely holding on as only a small portion of his body remained while the rest was turned to stone. The only reason for this was because Shiro wanted to test something out.

  She didn’t see her future self do this so she wasn’t sure. However, if she could achieve what she wanted to do, this could be very handy in the future.

  Walking up to the half petrified Dominic, she narrowed her eyes and activated Reaper.

  Summoning a pair of black chains, she had them wrap around Dominic before giving them a hard tug.

  "GAH!!!"

  As she pulled on the chains, she could see a faint illusionary figure of Dominic being ripped from his body.

  Furrowing her brows, she was surprised at the amount of resistance she was feeling due to the fact that this was her first time doing this.

  However, this resistance was short-lived as she gave it another tug.

  Ripping his soul completely out of his body, she took a deep breath and used the Skill Scholar to try to understand how Extraction worked.

  After all, if the extraction skill could access their source code and give her a skill, it should also be able to rip out some of their memories and pass it onto her.

  That way, she wouldn’t need to worry about interrogation in the future. Not when she can rip out their soul and get the information directly.

  Closing her eyes, red circuit like patterns started to creep up her arm. Exerting her control over this strange power, she redirected it into a magic circle.

  Watching the circuit ’peel’ off her arm and wrap around her wrist, a red magic circle appeared above her palm.

  Unlike the normal magic circle, it wasn’t formed with runes or numbers. Trying her best to analyse the magic circle, Shiro found herself lost on how to ’read’ it. However, due to Skill Scholar, she was able to understand small portions but it wasn’t enough.

  Treating it as a learning experience, she reached out towards Dominic’s soul.

  "Don’t scream." She said with a grin.
