"Keomi, his only current weakness I can think of right now is that he needs a sh*t ton of mana to sustain the item. If we can continuously draw out the fight, we'll be able to open up an opportunity to kill him." Shiro suggested.
"Big sis, can't you use that item of yours?" Keomi asked.
"It doesn't work that way. When the Executioner's Requiem is activated, it's hardly affected by any items. Unfortunately, if I'm right, The Sealing Incantation is not one of the items that can stop him right now." Shiro frowned while trying her best at moving her body. But with the second skill activated, once she got a grasp of her movements, she'll fall right down again.
"But we're not in any state to fight now are we?" Keomi asked.
Their only saving grace was that Shiro had activated her Fae Illusions so that there were multiple copies. She made sure that each of them was acting the same so that Blythe wouldn't be able to find the real bodies.
"I know but that isn't the same for our abilities. What I want to do is use you as a catalyst to use my magic. My body's a bit damaged right now so if I try to delay him, it would have too many negative repercussions. However, if I funnel it through your B classed physique, I should, in theory, be able to output slightly more power than I do now. But that's only a theory so I'm not sure how it would work." Shiro furrowed her brows while moving them into the shade.
"I'm not too sure about the details but I trust you." Keomi replied seriously.
Nodding her head, Shiro reached out and pressed her hand against Keomi's back.
Closing one of her eyes, she sent a single strand of mana to scout out Keomi's body for the most optimal pathway.
'Since she's a warrior type class, the pathways might be a little different compared to what a mage has.' Shiro thought while mapping out the pathways.
Since warriors focused on physique, their pathways would be tougher than what a mage would have but at the expense of fine tuned control. This was why the mages were able to use large scale destruction spells while warriors could only use domains or body refinement.
If she wanted to use Keomi as a catalyst for her spells, she'll need to adapt to her channels so that it fits to a certain degree.
However, once she finished scanning Keomi's body, she could only curse her luck.
"Damn it, why the hell are you so good at refining your body?! Your channels are absolutely huge and they're amazing for huge bursts of power. But for our situation, this is the worst that I can ask for." Shiro sighed.
"Then are we done for?" Keomi furrowed her brows.
"Nope~" Shiro grinned.
"Since your mana channels are huge, it means I'll have to pump more mana and have a harder time at controlling it. Thankfully for us, I'm good at controlling a huge amount of mana."
If she couldn't do this, then each spell would have literally thrashed her links. By decreasing their final output and power potential, she can make it safer for herself. Otherwise, a single spell created by over 150 thousand points of INT would cause much more damage than what she had shown so far.
If she had to describe it, it would literally be a natural disaster.
Focusing her mind, she pushed mana into Keomi's body through her palms.
"Urg!" Feeling the foreign mana enter her body, Keomi flinched from the sensation.
A tier 3 magic circle started to flicker in front of her as Shiro was trying to use her body to construct the magic circle.
"Come out wherever you are! I'll make your death a painless one!" Blythe howled in the background while sending countless attacks towards all of her clones. Whenever an attack hit, a building would be almost erased from the damage.
Since Shiro could spare a portion of her focus to make sure more illusions were being created in different locations, she was able to avoid the fate of being blown up for now.
'Come on!!! Just a little more!' She urged in her mind since she knew that she had the potential to make a tier 4 magic circle despite being in C class. With her INT stat and Keomi's B class physique, this should be a feat that they could achieve.
The magic circle flickered a little more as the fourth ring started to form around the outside, symbolising its transition into a tier 4 spell.
"Construction complete." Shiro muttered with a grin when the fourth ring stabilised itself.
Tier 4 Spell – Frozen Chandelier!
*KRRRRR!!!!
A blizzard surrounded the area that was affected by the Executioners Requiem's second ability.
Dark clouds gathered in the skies as the temperature dropped rapidly. Within mere moments, the city was turned into a frozen landscape where there was hardly anything that wasn't frozen.

Breaking though the clouds, a giant ice chandelier could be seen, glistening in the light. Each branch of the chandelier would reflect and amplify the light, blinding anyone that saw it for a split second.
As the person who was closest to the chandelier, Blythe couldn't avoid this fate either.
"Gah!" Shielding his eyes, Blythe looked away from the chandelier.
*Cling cling cling cling!
Just as he did this, chains erupted from the ground and stabbed towards him. Each one was reinforced with Celestial Path and thus cutting off any spells that he wanted to use in defence.
Quickly making a solid clone and trading places with it, Blythe made sure that he wasn't caught for too long since he knew the kind of danger he'll be in. Despite his attitude, he made sure to memorise everything that Morthil had told him about Shiro.
Since her fighting style seemingly revolves around sealing off the mana usage of her enemies, he'll need to make sure that he wasn't caught for too long.
"Tch, annoying." He clicked his tongue. Manoeuvring around in the air, he avoided the chains while sending out attacks to repel them when he wasn't able to dodge.
Activating a few domains that increased his magic resistance and ice resistance, he flicked his wrist and created several fire lances and sent them flying towards the sky.
Shattering into a rain of fire arrows, he targeted all the clones.
But when he saw that none of the arrows managed to hit his target, annoyance flooded his mind while his chest heaved in anger.
'That's good. If I can keep this up, He should be running out of mana in 10 to 15 minutes give or take.' Shiro estimated.
Thankfully, the Executioner's Requiem wasn't at stage four or else it would truly be almost impossible to fight against unless one is prepared.
That's because at stage four, the users gains the ability to regenerate mana rapidly. This makes it so that the previous three abilities basically become passives since the regeneration was able to almost offset the cost.
'Thankfully, I found this item in the early stages. If I find it later, I might not be able to fight it unless my links are healed.'
Shaking her head, she continued to make sure that the tier 4 spell continued without any problems.
Since she was doing this through a catalyst, there were bound to be a few unnatural fluctuations that she'll have to sort out quickly.
Not only that, but the person acting as the catalyst would be under quite some pressure as well.
{Say, my queen.} NImue called out.
'Sup?'
{So I understand what stages 1, 2 and 4 are, but you've never said anything about stage 3. What happens if he reaches stage three during this fight?} Nimue asked curiously.
'Hmm… if stage three happens, his lethality would reach a whole new level. That is because the ability he gains is the ability to bind and reduce the targets armour to 0 should one of his illusions come into contact. Once that happens, a simple punch from him could be life threatening.'
{Not to be the jinx, but I think there's a high possibility in him achieving stage 3 considering how things are going right now. IF I remember, you told me that the more the user gives themselves up, the more the relic takes advantage. Blythe seems pretty pissed right now so it might be dangerous.}
'Oh don't worry, I've fought someone who used this relic before, I can say that it's almost guaranteed that he'll hit stage 3 soon so I'm trying to drain as much mana away as I can before that stage is reached.'
Continuing the cat and mouse game with Blythe, Shiro kept an eye on him to make sure she catches the moment he's about to reach stage 3. At that moment, his spells would be down for a little while so it was the perfect moment to relocate themselves.
*BOOM!!!!
'Now!'
Cancelling her tier 4 spells, Shiro grabbed Keomi into the rift and dashed away.
Blythe had reached Stage 3 of the Executioner's Requiem and the risks had just multiplied by several folds.
