Looking at Keomi who was crushing spells with ease, Shiro wondered why this current world was so different from her old one.
Not only did it have more skills and advanced quests that linked to other worlds, but it had the anomaly of monsters having skills much earlier than they should. Such an example would be the base version of rejuvenation that she had encountered when she saw the yeti berserker way back in New York.
'Could it be that this world is an upgrade? If I was to consider other worlds as tier 1 worlds, they have the most basic classes and spells. My world could be classed as a 'tier 2' world since they were able to make artificial classes. However, this world could be called a tier 3 world since everything is much stronger. There's also the problem of me and Isilia reincarnating into this world as well.' Shiro thought with a frown.
Even when she was thinking of other matters, she didn't stop fighting.
Flexing her fingers, she created platforms under Keomi's feet so that she could keep up with her max speed.
"Thanks sis!" Keomi shouted out with a grin.
Taking a deep breath in, she twisted her body in an attempt to punch Morthil.
However, before she could, he activated a second tier 4 spell which caused a giant illusionary elemental barrier to form around him.
Activating Analysis, Shiro scanned the internal composition of the spell and realised that it would reflect damage equal to what it's hit with. With the current amount of force that Keomi is gathering in her fist, the reflected damage would be huge.
Furrowing her brows, she summoned Ataraxia and created a small pocket of focused mana behind the pommel.
Enhancing the sword with Celestial Path, she sent it flying towards the barrier.
Since the source of damage is a projectile, the reflected damage shouldn't hit her. Not only that, due to the fact that it's enhanced by celestial path, it would hopefully shatter the barrier if not weaken it.
Seeing the sword fly past her, Keomi glanced back in confusion.
But when the sword came into contact with that shield and even shatter it with ease, much like what she can do, Keomi widened her eyes in jubilance.
One of the hidden effects of the Asakura family martial arts is to grant the user the ability to break apart spells within a certain range of their stats. For 'Kuromi' to be able to shatter a spell casted by someone 40 levels above her with such ease and even target the weakest part of the spell was almost unreal.
'Could this mean that big sis had been improving on the martial arts without even knowing? If I remember correctly, she never got to stage 3 so she was never able to get the cancelling effect. For the effect to be so potent now, does that mean she unconsciously practices the martial arts? It's either that or her stats are now off the charts. Might be one of the reasons as to why she reset her level to begin with.' Keomi thought to herself while restraining the baffled Morthil.
The first time where she stopped his spell could be a fluke but the second time was no fluke.
"Tch! You can stand aside while I kill her first!" He shouted while activating a second spell that rooted Keomi with elemental chains.
If he let Shiro interfere with the fight, he wouldn't be able to use any spells.
But just as he almost reached her, Shiro grinned and jumped into the rift.
Reappearing besides Keomi, she cut through the binds with an ice dagger that was infused with Celestial Path.
"The most I can do is cancel out his spells. You'll have to do the damage." Shiro said seriously.
While she did have the option of using the item that she had stolen from God's Pantheon, she would rather save it till she was in danger alone. After all, the Sealing Incantation would seal a target's mana for 5 minutes.
That meant that within the five minutes, they were fish on the chopping board for Shiro.
Looking at the situation, Morthil knew that things weren't good for him so he decided to retreat first.
"Hou hou~ Thinking of running? Tough luck. I'm the most persistent person there is." Keomi grinned since chasing after someone was one of her best class traits.
As proven with her first encounter with Shiro, even if they enter a sub dimension like the rift, she's able to rip a path straight to them.
"You don't need to chase him." Shiro smiled as she flickered next to Morthil.
Activating her Throne World, she pulled everyone inside and chose an Ice as the base for her skill.
"Huh?" Realising that he was in an icy tundra, Morthil's eyes brightened.
"HAHAHA, you fool! I'm an element emperor, you've helped me win this fight." He laughed while Keomi furrowed her brows.
"Big sis, stay behind me. I'll take care of him."
"Sure. I'll provide you support." Shiro nodded since she too knew of her limits. While it may look simple right now, the moment that Morthil even lands a single hit on her, she'll be in danger.
Flexing her fingers, Shiro had spiked chains erupt out from the ground and shoot towards Morthil.
"Keomi, use this. This is able to cancel out his spells. While it may not be as potent as when I use it, it should provide you with more support." She said while handing her Ataraxia.
Keomi's eyes brightened when she saw Shiro give her a sword.
"Thanks sis." She smiled and corrected her stance.
The Asakura family was a line of martial artists so it's only natural that they have martial arts tailored to different weapons.
Even though Keomi much preferred using her fists, she also studied the sword manuals in the family library.
"Asakura Sword Form Three: Drifting Shadows." Keomi took a deep breath and adjusted her mind set.
She had already understood what kind of sword Ataraxia was from the last time she came into contact with Shiro. It was a brittle sword that was blessed with the powers of self healings.
Therefore, she needed to strike hard and fast, not giving the opponent any chances of hitting the sword.
Hence why she had chosen Sword Form Three. With this form, her attack speed would be at its fastest, allowing her to protect the weapon while dealing large amounts of damage.
*BANG!
Kicking up a chunk of ice, Keomi appeared beside Morthil and swung the sword. Within an instant, his body was riddled with sword wounds as he tried to activate a spell.
Unfortunately for him, both the chains that wrapped him and the sword were enhanced by celestial path.
Normally, what he would do is take Shiro out with pure brute strength but with Keomi here, it was almost impossible.
"Damn it! Just you wait!" He gritted his teeth and pulled out an item.
Crushing it apart, a portal opened up behind him.
Seeing this, Keomi tried to stab towards his head but she was stopped by an illusionary barrier.
'It can't be cancelled?!' She thought in shock. The barrier that was produced by the portal seemed to be completely immune from Celestial Path and the Asakura Martial Arts.
Watching Morthil leave the throne world with an item, the duo could only shake their heads.
"That's unfortunate." Shiro muttered and stopped her spell.
"Sorry sis…" Keomi looked down in disappointment. Despite being 9 levels ahead of Morthil and countering his skill set, she still wasn't able to kill him.
"Don't worry about it. From what I've heard, fights above B class are quite problematic since everyone's physical levels are quite monstrous. Even without traits of cancelling out spells, we don't have a way of cancelling out items. Therefore, if he gets into a dangerous situation, it's very hard to stop him from leaving." Shiro shook her head and comforted Keomi.
Patting her shoulders, Shiro had Yin turn back to her phoenix form and take them away from the area.
Glancing back at Keomi who still seemed a little down, Shiro raised an eyebrow.
{You should reassure her more and confirm the kill you know? I can tell that you've set a tracker on him already.} Nimue suggested casually. During that fight, she clearly saw Shiro implant a nanotech tracker on Morthil's body when she used the ice chains.
'I suppose so. With Keomi's help and with Morthil thinking that he's safe, we can pull off an assassination.' Shiro nodded.
"Keomi."
"Mn?"
"How well are you at assassinations?" Shiro asked with a smile.
"I'm decent I suppose. Why do you ask?"
"Well, how do you feel about finishing Morthil off with a little assassination." Shiro grinned and showed her a tablet that had Morthil's current location on it.
