Summoning her spear and sword, she dashed towards the giant.

  Flicking to the side, she dodged his strike with ease.

  "I know it seems like it’s only been a few seconds but trust, me, I’ve been away for two months and it was rather enlightening." Shiro laughed.

  Throwing her sword up, Shiro used it as a grappling hook to swing herself up to his shoulder.

  Twirling her spear, Shiro parried his grab to the side.

  However, while she has almost breached the boundary for the attack form, she wasn’t close just yet for her defensive style so this move was a little forced but her goal had been reached.

  Feeling the reverberations in her body, Shiro narrowed her eyes and jumped towards the head.

  Closing her eyes, she sent out a wave of killing intent which wrapped around the entire area. Envisioning the whole arena in her mind, Shiro could see the small movements that the giant was making.

  Crouching as low as she could, she flickered forward.

  Twisting her body, she thrust her sword towards his head.

  *BANG!!!!!

  Just as the giant blocked her strike, a web of slashes appeared behind his head, causing him to crash forward.

  Seeing this, the sisters widened their eyes in shock while Quella was still trying to recover from the initial surprise of seeing Shiro suddenly reappear.

  From her perspective, she watched as Shiro dive into the portal and the circuit following after her once it finished tormenting the giant. Next thing she knew, Shiro was back again feeling more confident than ever.

  "What the hell just happened?" Quella muttered in confusion.

  Meanwhile, Tenma was in the same situation.

  [Ahahaha, I see what happened.] The voice cackled in Tenma’s mind.

  ’What happened? Why is she able to push the giant back like that now? Previously she wasn’t like this.’ Tenma asked.

  [An old friend helped her out. For her to make so much improvement in such a short amount of time, he must have expended quite a bit of his life span to freeze time. We can expect that we won’t be fighting him.]

  ’Who are you talking about?’


  [You don’t know them but they were the second closest person in history to complete the Nyx Tower. He must have told her about the special boundary. Thankfully, it seems like she hasn’t grasped it properly. If she did I’d say you should give up trying to kill her.]

  ’Why?’


  [Because the last person to have ever grasped this boundary was never hit by any attacks thereafter. Not even I could harm him.]

  Hearing this, Tenma widened his eyes and cursed the fact that Shiro got lucky and was actually tutored about this special boundary.

  ’What can we do then? If we fight, how do you fight her?’


  [Just follow my instructions and trust me. Those that have not grasp the boundary properly will show signs of weakness and we’ll take advantage of that. So far I know that she has to manually close her eyes to actually attack with the pseudo boundary that she has grasped.] The voice replied.

  Nodding his head, Tenma watched Shiro carefully.

  ###

  After sending the head crashing forward, Shiro flicked her wrist and summoned her axe.

  Twisting her body, she gathered all her strength and slammed it against the nape of his neck.

  *BANG!!!!

  The collision of the two caused a small shockwave to explode out as Shiro was forced back by a few steps. However, she wasn’t finished just yet.

  Hurling the axe towards the Giant’s head, Shiro summoned her spear and notched it into her body.

  Jumping up, she narrowed her eyes at the Giant’s ear and fired her bow.

  Feeling danger, the Giant covered his ears with his hands as the spear drew a bit of blood but that was it.

  However, that was also fine as Shiro watched the axe clash against his skull and bounce into the air.

  Flickering towards the axe, she grabbed the handle before twisting her body. Swinging the axe with everything she’s got, Shiro narrowed her eyes and enchanted her axe with petrification.

  *KRRRR!!!!

  Slamming it down, Shiro watched as blood spurted out and was instantly turned to stone.

  Petrification tried to spread across his head but the speed was slow. Eventually, the petrification stopped and broke off on its own.

  *URAHHH!!!

  Forcing his body up right, the flames in his eyes flickered brighter as the markings around his body were set aflame.

  Looking like the incarnation of Satan, the Giant pulled his hand back before punching towards Shiro.

  While this happened, wh.i.p.s of fire erupted out from the ground and struck towards her.

  Restriction of magic!

  Activating one of her restrictions that she wanted to save, a pulse of energy expanded out from Shiro as all the flames were extinguished in a single moment.

  Widening his eyes in shock, the Giant looked around him with confusion.

  While the Giant was confused, Shiro closed her eyes and dropped into an offensive stance. Releasing her killing intent, she stomped down as hard as she could so that she could push herself to her top speed in an instant.

  *BANG!!!!!

  Shattering the ground around her, Shiro’s body disappeared and reappeared in front of the giant’s eye which was no longer burning thanks to her restriction of magic. Piercing forward with her sword, Shiro stabbed deep into his iris but she wasn’t done yet.

  More sword strikes started to appear as she dug her way through into his head.

  Cleaving her way in, she knew that her best choice would be to destroy/petrify his brain since his regeneration was very strong.

  Cutting upwards, Shiro understood that she was now at the brain.

  Stabbing her sword up with petrification enchantment, she wrapped her chain around her spear before jamming it horizontally inside his head.

  Holding the chains, she jumped out before she was crushed by his finger.

  Just as she jumped out, she could see a hand reach towards her as she grinned.

  Extending the chains, she wrapped it around his wrist as he tried to grab her.

  Tightening the chains, Shiro watched as the spear was forcefully dragged out of his eye socket.

  *CRACK!!!!

  Ripping out a bit of his face along with his skull, the brain was exposed for the entire world to see.

  Summoning her spear next to her, Shiro twirled it in her hand before notching it in her bow. Enchanting it with her petrification magic, she fired the spear towards the exposed brain.

  *PUCHII!!!!!!

  Piercing deeply into the brain, petrification started to spread but halted after a certain point.

  Clicking her tongue, Shiro tugged on the chain and dragged herself back up towards the brain while using her power of flight to dodge his grabs.

  Remembering what her future self has said about trying to concentrate the powers of her spells, Shiro clasped her hands together and created a concentrated orb of air.

  Focusing her mind, she then activated Gaia’s Divinity which allowed her to send out a pulse of petrification energy. But this time, she condensed it inside the orb of air so that it was akin to a ticking time bomb.

  Arriving in front of the half petrified brain, Shiro curled her lips into a grin and jammed her fist in as deep as she could.

  Jumping back before it detonated, she watched as his two hands reached towards her.

  Grabbing her sword, she closed her eyes and sent out a wave of killing intent once more.

  *BANG BANG!!!

  As if suddenly hit by two large clubs, the hands were moved off their initial path and missed Shiro narrowly.

  If not for Ouranos’ Divinity, the wind generated by the two hands passing her would have thrown her off course.

  Glaring at the Giant, Shiro smirked and snapped her finger.

  *BANG!!!!

  Exploding into a tornado, the wind started to shred up his brain while the petrification flashed within his head, turning the shredded brain matter to stone so that they couldn’t regenerate.

  Crashing against the barrier, the petrifying light wanted to reach the outside world but the barrier stood firm. With nowhere else to go, the light was reflected back at the giant.

  *KRRRRRR!!!!!

  Watching as a layer of stone formed on the Giant’s body, the sisters and Tenma were speechless since the second time she appeared she was the oppressive side rather than the giant.

  [You have completed the skip.]

  Seeing this notification, Shiro smiled as a gate opened up in front of her.

  In the distance, Caedus grinned seeing her success and disappeared from his spot.

  ###

  "Yes she did it!" Nyx cheered as Gaia could only chuckle seeing Nyx’s joy but she was the same. However, after the initial joy came worry, since she now had to face tower’s final boss.
