[Skill added]

[Frozen Hell: Azure Soul Fire]

"Hou~… Azure Soul Fire…" Shiro raised an eyebrow as she glanced at the duo who had long turned to ash.

Wondering about what kind of change the skill had experienced, she closed her eyes and thought about the activation process of the skill.

"So it has a requirement of Frozen Slumber to be activated first." Shiro muttered before shrugging her shoulders. She had plenty of time to test out the power of the skill but right now, she had 100 free points for her to use.

Now that she had created her second skill, she was just waiting to gather the rest of the Jade Ice so that she could class up.

"Hmm… I should probably make a list of what I need to do."

Her first task was naturally to star up before doing anything else. Next was her key to Silvermoon Keep and following which is the Team Trial: Sword Myth Springs.

However, Sword Myth Springs was recommended for level 45's and both Lyrica and Madison were still quite the distance from level 45.

By then, she would have hopefully gotten her 5th star.

"I also need Nan Tian to help me get that Phoenix Rebirth Pill. That reminds me, I need to deal with a certain assassin stalker as well." Shiro thought as she narrowed her eyes.

Due to the commotion back in New York, it seemed like all the factions were required to resolve the totem ritual.

"With the danger of New York unresolved, it seems like it'll take a while for Winter's Grace to contact us about going to the faction branch as well." Shiro muttered while she cleaned up the scene.

There was also the problem of the Nirvana Soul Blades. The best outcome were for Lyrica to claim ownership of these swords since Shiro believed that it would suit her well.

"Then there's also the mana springs and the slum lords. Hais… so many things to do. That being said, I wonder how Jonas' and all that are faring. After Trace and Paul died, Jonas' retired while Silvia would probably quit as well. She wasn't looking too well after the dungeon, same with Erica. They're probably going to avoid me since I'm essentially a guillotine hanging over their heads." Shaking her head, Shiro sighed at the fact that there were so many things for her to take care of.

But, putting aside the tasks that she could only do later, Shiro made her way back to the tents.

Upon leaving the abandoned building, Shiro was surprised to see the fight still going on in the city.

"They're still fighting??? They really do hate each other, don't they?" Shiro asked Yin.

*Chirp

Yin only replied with an uninterested tone as she was still a little annoyed at the fact that Shiro got rid of her hood.

After walking for a short while, the campsite could be seen. However, the atmosphere of the campsite was a little odd since quite a few adventurers were patrolling around the adventurer.

"Shiro-nee! Why did you take so long to come back." Kanae cried out as she quickly pulled Shiro into the tent.

[What happened?] Shiro asked.

"Recently, a lot of beautiful aunties and girls have gone missing so they need to patrol around the area. They think it has something to do with the bad guys in the slums and that they're only targeting beautiful people. With someone as beautiful as Shiro-nee, they'll definitely target you." Kanae reminded Shiro.

Smiling softly, Shiro nodded and turned to the other girls in the tent.

She could see that all three the mothers and daughters were concerned since this tent had Shiro, Lyrica and Madison, who were definitely above average in the looks department. Especially Shiro.

Surprisingly though, Kanae weren't as concerned about herself but rather more about Shiro.

Stating that: "You're not allowed to go out until they sort the problem out."

Shiro found that rather adorable and couldn't help but pinch her cheeks a little before nodding her head.

[Alright, I'll stay behind for a short while to train with you ok?] Shiro smiled. She wasn't in too much of a rush anyway. As long as she doesn't kill any monsters or humans to level up for the time being, she would be fine.

Kanae nodded her head but kept on hugging Shiro.

Chuckling to herself, Shiro patted Kanae's head before turning to the slightly sour Lyrica right now.

Seeing her expression, Shiro couldn't help but think of a child when they got their favourite toy stolen from them.

[Lyrica, I managed to get something good from the auction for you.] Shiro typed out. This caused Lyrica to instantly perk up at the mention of Shiro getting her something.

"What did you get?" She asked curiously.

Pulling out the Nirvana Soul Blades, Shiro handed them over to her.

[I want you to take the trial and see if you can claim ownership of these weapons.]

"Eh? What about you?" Lyrica asked in shock. She never expected the gift that Shiro had given her was a set of Purple+ grade items. Even though they looked plain right now, Lyrica knew that there were special items that would change forms once they linked up with a owner. She guessed that it was the case for the Nirvana Soul Blades.

[You need it more than I do. I have both offence and defence, but your class only gives you offence. What's your DEF stat right now?]

"Erm… 50 not including any bonuses from equipment…" Lyrica said embarrassingly. She hadn't put any points into DEF since her skills needed her to reach a certain amount of STR and AGI. To use these skills, she had fuelled all of her skill points into places other than DEF.

Hearing what Lyrica had said, Shiro widened her eyes and stared at Lyrica in disbelief.

[How did you survive a hit from the boss???] She asked feeling a little fearful. During the boss fight, Lyrica had suffered a blow which should by logic, end her.

"Well… My HP may or may not have been in the 100 thousands…" Lyrica blushed.

'100 thousand?!' Shiro thought with shock. If it wasn't for her monster title, her HP would only be around 70k and her MP would be around 150k. But Lyrica was telling her that her HP was in the 100k range? Shiro simply couldn't believe that kind of passive point bonus her Bladedancer class had given her.

Every class, once they reached their second class up, automatically increased the stats upon level up. For her Snow Girl class, which is currently her main class due to her race, she would gain a significant boost to INT every time she levelled up. The bonus would outstrip stats like STR or VIT.

However, if Lyrica had 100k HP when she was just in her level 30's, that meant that the passive bonus was outrageous for her VIT stat.

[Well I guess that's more reason for you to equip these blades then. Hell, even I have 400 points in DEF and I hardly gain any points in that area.] Shiro replied.

However, this time it was Madison's turn to be shocked. Since her class was Demon Knight, she needed both STR, VIT and DEF, which is why they were her best stats. Even the lowest out of them were around the 800's and she knew how hard it was to get 100k health.

"Erm… Just a question from me, but what's the value of your strongest stat?" Madison asked.

[2400 in INT]

"1200 in STR." Lyrica replied honestly. Her class was so extreme in the offensive department that her STR, VIT and AGI were outrageous when compared to other adventurer's her level. That being said, her other stats were piss poor.

"How the hell is your strongest stat 1200 in STR?!" Madison asked in shock.

"Erm… Race trait of elves, we get more stat points per level along with my class giving me a lot of stats in STR, VIT and AGI." Lyrica replied with a slight cough.

"Wait, then how the hell was your HP 100k? Even if you had 1200 points in VIT, that would still only be 60k in the HP department." Madison asked.

"Well… I guess you girls can know." Lyrica replied after hesitating for a short moment.

Tapping her chest, a pendant appeared.

[Elven Saint Blessings (Orange)]

In times of danger, the Elven Saint will bless you with the power to survive a lethal blow.

HP x500%.

Duration: 10 seconds

Cool Down: 5 days

Cannot be activated manually

Bound: Lyrica Valenstaine

Looking at the equipment, Shiro couldn't help but be shocked at the fact that Lyrica had a levelless Orange grade equipment.

Even though it was bound to her, it was still a bad idea should more people know about it.

Shiro instantly hid the jewel with her hand causing Lyrica to blush heavily since it looked like Shiro just reached out for her b.r.e.a.s.ts.

"Ah! Er! Shiro! There's people here!" Lyrica stammered in shock.

[Hide pendant. Now.] Shiro typed out.

Realising that she was talking about the pendant, Lyrica couldn't help but want to cry since her hopes were shattered once more.

Following her instruction of hiding the pendant, both Lyrica and Madison looked at Shiro curiously. Wondering as to why she reacted rather strongly.

[Don't show that pendant casually. Even though it's bound to you, humans will think with the mindset of: If I can't have it, neither can you.] Shiro warned sternly.

"R-right…" Both Lyrica and Madison nodded.

[Well, now that I know you're able to survive if anything bad were to happen, I'm not as worried anymore.] Shiro sighed in relief.

Taking out the empowerment potions and different skill scrolls, Shiro laid them out in front of them.

[Take these, they'll help you out massively in times of danger.]

"Eh? Oh wow, all of these should be quite expensive." Madison muttered as she looked at the myriad of potions and scrolls that laid in front of them.

[Just rob a few people on auction night. No biggie.] Shiro waved her hand nonchalantly.

Both Madison and Lyrica felt their lips twitch hearing how nonchalant she was.

'Little sis! They're all in the level 50's to 60's ok?!'

Watching Lyrica and Madison split the loot amongst themselves, Shiro turned to the other girls in the tent.

[Since it's getting dangerous, each of you should keep a life saving item on you as well.] Shiro typed out whilst handing each of them some supplies.

"Thank you." The mothers nodded in appreciation.

As for Kanae, Shiro decided to give her something extra. Within the pile of loot that she had given her, there was a small chip attached to Kanae. The chip would warn her if anything was to happen to Kanae and she would be able to track her down to help her.

Naturally, both Lyrica and Madison had this chip as well.

With everything done, they chatted for a little longer before going to sleep.

###

Waking up early in the morning, Shiro walked out of the tent and glanced towards the other camps. She could still see a few adventurer's patrolling diligently.

Shifting her gaze, she sat on the nearby tree and fed herself. Feeding Yin as well, Shiro opened her phone to look at the news.

Regarding the miniature war last night, the winner was the Sermak family. Alura was currently heavily injured and both families had lost a large amount of adventurers. However, while the Sermak family won, they had also lost the most amount of adventurer's due to Alura's Hell Fire Bombardment.

With both families suffering from massive casualties, the city would be peaceful for a while.

After waiting for a short moment, Lyrica woke up but surprisingly, Madison was still sleeping.

[Are you going to tackle the Nirvana Soul Blade Trial now?] Shiro asked with a smile.

"Yeah, even with my pendant, I need to have something else to rely on for defence. Otherwise, I'll just be courting death everything I challenge a dungeon." Lyrica nodded. 

[Good luck, remember, since it's a trial, you won't die. Go wild.] Shiro grinned.

Lyrica nodded and pulled out the four blades. Taking a deep breath, she clasped her hands together as the surrounding mana started to gather towards her.

This caused the adventurers to look towards her with curiosity but immediately resumed their patrols.

A magic circle appeared under her as her body started to fade. Shiro kept a smile on her face as she watched Lyrica enter the formation. Even if she didn't claim ownership of these weapons, Shiro could probably redesign them using her nanobots. While it may not be as powerful as they could be, it would be enough for now.
