Chapter 80: Ritual P1

The purple glow wrapped around Yin's body as a cocoon slowly formed.

Watching the cocoon pulse slightly, Shiro was curious as to what Yin would look like.

*Ping~

The cocoon shattered giving Shiro a good look at Yin.

Her overall size increased slightly along with the fact that the tips of the feather's had a black mist effect to them. This made her body look like it was lit with black misty fire. In addition to this, her tail feathers were also longer.

*Chirp~

Opening her wings, Yin flew over to Shiro and landed on her shoulder.

Seeing Yin up close, Shiro could see more neon purple patterns that decorated Yin's feathers.

[Yin – LVL 21]

HP: 40,000/40,000

MP: 100,000/100,000

Shiro widened her eyes seeing how much MP Yin has even though she was just level 21.

"What??!! Little Yin. Why is the world so unfair? If I didn't have my monster title m- Wait. Does that mean you'll have 200k MP if you killed a human???" Shiro muttered and realised just how insane Yin was.

Puffing up her chest proudly, Yin made a smug face.

Seeing the smug face on Yin, Shiro felt her smile twitch slightly. Gently knocking Yin's head, Shiro shook her head.

"Don't get too proud. You may have all of that MP but do you use all of it?" Shiro said as Yin pouted slightly.

Joking with Yin for a little longer, Shiro checked to see if Yin got any new skills that would be shared with her.

[Rift Walker (Tier 1)]

Utilise the powers of shadow and walk between the fabrics of reality. Distance travelled and time inside the rift is largely dependent on the user's MP along with Tier. User can only see items and environment inside the rifts. Unless the enemy is also in the rift, the user would not see the enemies.

Current limit: 10 meters

Cost: 1 meter = 5,000 MP/1 second = 1,000 MP

"Rift Walker? What kind of monster are you to have this kind of ability even though you're only level 21." Shiro muttered. An ability like Rift Walker were mostly seen amongst the monster of level 100+. Yet, Yin had unlocked it at level 21.

*Chirp!

"Yes yes, You are amazing." Shiro praised honestly. Wanting to put the skill to the test, Shiro took a deep breath.

Stomping down with her right foot, her body dematerialised into a cloud of dark purple mist.

Shiro was surprised at what she could see right now. The world was like it was seen through a negative filter. Looking at her body, Shiro was surprised to see her body shifting around like a ghost.

'Hmm… MP cost is a little too intense to be used over long periods. Best way to use it would probably to try burst it. Like… teleportation? I can probably throw the enemies aim off along with my own if I'm not careful. I'll need to make sure I know where I'm going every time I use it.' Shiro thought as she exited the Rift.

Walking out of the Dungeon, Shiro made her way back to the dorms. Being able to vent out her frustrations made her much more relaxed than before. Plus, Yin was able to class up so that was another piece of good news for her.

However, the moment she stepped out of the dungeon, she saw a slightly pale green light in the sky.

'The f*cking totem is being activated.' Shiro thought with a frown. Crouching down, she jumped upwards and landed on the roof of a building. Parkouring from one building to another, she stopped at the tallest skyscr.a.p.er that was near her.

"Well seems like the timing was pretty good huh? Come to see your future branch master?" A voice called out.

[Like I wanted to see you. I'm going to keep this short, when did the totem start?] Shiro asked.

"It started literally a few minutes before you left the dungeon." Nan Tian chuckled slightly.

[Have you found the main nodes of the ritual? We destroy them, we'll be able to stop this ritual.]

"I have, but only 6 out of 10. The last four are well hidden."

While Shiro and Nan Tian were discussing what was happening, Huan Er was surprised at both Nan Tian's attitude along with Shiro's domineering aura.

'She's only level 35 but why do I feel like I'm in the presence of two apex's…' She thought.

[I don't know how much I can do, but since they're bothering me, I'll help out with this.]

'I might as well take this chance to level up my monster title if I can.' Shiro thought. Since prey came walking to her, it would be rude to not accept.

"Huan Er, give her an earpiece." Nan Tian ordered with a gesture of his hands.

Nodding her head, Huan Er passed the item over to Shiro.

[So who is she? A servant of yours? A lover? Are you trying to two time by stalking me?] Shiro asked, wanting to annoy Nan Tian.

"Hahaha, is this jealousy I detect little snow? Don't worry, she is a disciple being nurtured by the sect. Nothing more." Nan Tian laughed. Hearing his thought about her, Huan Er bit her lip in frustration.

[Jealousy? I'd probably be more jealous of a fatty eating McDonalds than I would be jealous of her.] Shiro rolled her eyes.

Placing the earpiece in her ear, she was about to jump off but Nan Tian stopped her.

"Just a little tip from me to you. Open it later ok?" Nan Tian said as he handed her a piece of paper. Shiro nodded and jumped off the building.

"…."

"Just say what you're thinking." Nan Tian said with his back to Huan Er.

"Why are you so nice to her and-… No just the first question. Why are you so nice to her?" She asked.

"Because I see potential. Simple as that." His aura told her that it was all that he was going to say.

'Are you sure?' Huan Er thought.

Shiro, who had jumped off the building earlier, was dashing to the first of the 4 hidden nodes she pinpointed before.

In her past life she had experienced rituals of a larger scale than the current ritual. Therefore, finding out all of the nodes weren't too difficult for her. 

The first hidden node was near an old derelict building that was abandoned mid-construction.

Landing on the building not too far away, Shiro opened the piece of paper.

[I know that you want to kill them to level up your Monster title and I approve.]

"Che, annoying prick. Like I need your permission to do this." Shiro cursed. 

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom – Illusionary Phantom.

Flipping over the barrier of the building she was on, Shiro narrowed her eyes and dived towards the derelict where the node was.

Faded Snow Movement.

The steel beams phased through her as Shiro landed on the ground.

Looking around her before turning back at the glowing light in the sky, she estimated the node to be around 30 meters or so below the ground.

"Ah… when did I last do something like this?" Shiro muttered. Infiltration, assassination and completing the objective.

She remembered doing this for the nobles back in her world, digging up their dirt before exposing them.

'Fun times.' Shiro thought as she pulled up her mask and hood.

Making herself a pair of nanotech boots that absorbed sound, she looked around for an entrance.

'Seems like the entrance is a bit further away…' She thought.

Flicking her wrist, metal and lightning sparked as a device could be seen in her hands.

Pressing the device into the ground, Shiro pressed a button to activate it.

*Boom Boom Boom

Hollowed echoes could be heard as statistics started to appear on the screen of the device.

'Three floors, node being protected on the final floor. Mana signal wise they seem to be peak level 50's… Whoever did this didn't want the people to look suspicious when going around the city. Level 50 seems to have been the safe bet…' Shiro thought whilst dismantling the device.

"This is above what I can handle. One level 50 might be ok but multiple is definitely not ok." Shiro muttered. Taking the earpiece, she tapped it and inserted a few nanobots inside.

###

Huan Er, who was currently trying to scan the city surveillance to find more hints about the nodes, paused in shock seeing her device being hacked.

"Nan Tian! We're being hacked!" Huan Er shouted out in a panic whilst tapping away at the keyboard.

"Hou? By who?" Nan Tian frowned as he walked over. For someone to be able to hack Huan Er's device in this city was too unusual.

Huan Er had sweat drip from her forehead as her defences were being broken too fast.

[I'm trying to f.u.c.k.i.n.g send you information! Why the f.u.c.k are you shutting it down ah!?] A line of text appeared on Huan Er's screen.

Both Nan Tian and Huan Er paused in shock seeing this.

[I need to get to the next site. This one is too much for me to handle. Here is the information I've gathered so far.]

Receiving a file, Huan Er looked at it sceptically.

"Open it." Nan Tian ordered.

Huan Er nodded and opened the file. Looking at the information about the first node site, Nan Tian only chuckled slightly before his body flickered away.

Meanwhile, Huan Er was still looking at her laptop in shock. Even when she was using everything she could, Shiro easily bypassed everything she did.

'But she's only a level 35 ice mage! How could she hack it!?' She thought in shock.

###

"Ohya? This one is only 2 floors and has 3 people protecting this node. Cannon fodder are surveying the first floor…" Shiro muttered in surprise.

'Hmm… three seems to be a little too suspicious.' Shiro thought.

"But… it also seems pretty fun and within limits." She grinned. Standing up, she stretched her body a little and entered the rift.

Due to her experiences with using Shadow Walker back in the shadow temple story quest, she was used to phasing through walls.

Landing on the first floor, she hid in a corner near her before her rift skill turned off.

However, the moment she appeared again, she came face to face with a level 50 cannon fodder.

While the man was shocked, Shiro dialled her output to 100%.

*PUSHI!

Breaking his jaw open, she ripped out his tongue within a short burst. Before the man could even scream, Shiro made a knife-hand and pierced his throat. Gripping the spine, Shiro exerted force and pulled it downwards. The force ripped the spine out of the skull and killed the man quickly.

The main thing about killing enemies higher level than you was to take them off guard. At the start of the fight, their guard will be at their lowest so if she was able to take advantage of that short moment, she could easily breach their defences and end their life.

Not to mention, the man wasn't able to react in time since most of his attention was redirected to the pain he was feeling.

Storing the man's corpse within her inventory, Shiro peaked the corner to see if there were more guards.

'No more for now.' Shiro thought.

Looking at the blood that had splattered around her, she waved her hand and froze them before destroying them.

'The three top tier level 50's should be just under me.' Shiro thought as her gaze narrowed.

Entering the rift once more, she phased through the ground.

Materialising herself the moment she was through the floor, she saw a target just below her.

Yin Style Phantom Art: 3rd Phantom + 4th Phantom.

Grabbing the target's jaw, Shiro pulled it back before slamming her knees into the spine.

*CRACK!

The knee snapped the spine in half as Shiro folded the target's body like a piece of paper. Blood poured out of his orifices due to every one of his internal organs being destroyed. Shiro immediately re-entered the rift.

Appearing behind the second target, she made two daggers in her hands. The first slashed at the back of his knee causing him to kneel while the second stabbed his eye and into the brain.

Backflipping into the rift, she dodged an attack of the final target.

*Whistle~

"This rift walker is so much more fun than I thought." Shiro grinned as this skill paired up incredibly well with her fighting style. Due to her amazing memory, she was able to constantly memorise the positions of her enemies. This made it so that the downside of not being able to see anyone in her rift could be ignored.

Appearing above her third and last target, she realised that her target had very weak defences even though he knew she was here.

Not minding that fact, Shiro created a misdirection by freezing his legs.

"Huh?!"

Landing on his shoulders, Shiro wrapped her legs around his head before twisting her body backwards. Making a dagger that extended out from her shoe, she sliced his neck tendons to make the next step easier.

*CRACK!!!

With a single twist of her body, she had spun the head off the man's torso.

*Bam!

The body collapsed as Shiro walked up to the node, not being fazed about the fact that she had just killed 3 level 50's. If anything, she was delighted as she levelled up to level 36.

However, she ignored her stats for now since she needed to deal with the node that was in front of her right now.

"Ah… so those three were formation experts." Shiro muttered in realisation. The reason as to why their defence were weak was due to the fact that formations expert's aren't combat personal. They were more suited in laying down traps and barricading off sections of an area.

"Wait… Then because I phased through the floors, I avoided all their traps? Lucky~" Shiro grinned.

Looking at the magic circle that was sealing off the node from being destroyed, Shiro only scoffed since she had destroyed more advanced seals. Flicking her wrist, she broke the seal almost instantly and destroyed the node.

"Two down, two to go."
