Gesturing for Cyril to start using her skill to cleanse the debuffs, Shiro jumped up on the roofs with Keomi.

While she could continue to use her illusions, it would be faster to drain his mana if the real one was mixed in every now and again.

"Remember, I'll attack first and you attack once his attention is on me." Shiro reminded.

"Are you sure? I can take the role as vanguard if you want. I'm higher level." Keomi furrowed her brows.

"Level's don't matter right now since he'll just reduce your armour to 0. Just trust me on this and follow closely." Shiro shook her head.

Crouching down slightly, she waited for the next cleanse before jumping. After all, it would be awkward if she suddenly slipped a moment before jumping.

Twisting her body in mid  air, she sent all seven copies of ataraxia shooting towards Blythe.

All of the illusions followed suit and copied her actions along with the activation of refraction, making it seem like a storm of blades were about to pierce him.

Narrowing his eyes dangerously, Blythe couldn't tell which one was the real sword so his best option was to just stop them all.

"Haaa!!" Clutching his fist, a giant tier 3 magic circle wrapped around him as a pulse of energy exploded outwards.

*BOOM!!!!

The real swords were suddenly hit by an explosion while the others were unaffected. Instantly locking onto the real Shiro who had thrown the swords, he charged towards her.

'So he found out about the real swords that easily huh? Well no matter.' She thought to herself.

Activating celestial raiment EX along with Hollow Deceit, she chose light as the base element in order to bolster her speed.

Flickering away from her location, she reappeared besides him with her sword drawn.

Sword Domain + Asura Sword Path!

*PUSHI!

Within a single moment, several shallow cuts appeared on the prince's body as Shiro clicked her tongue from the lack of damage.

Without a moment's hesitation, she hopped backwards to avoid his attack since it would kill her in one hit.

Keomi saw this and realised that it was a prime opportunity to land a hit on the prince as he was focused on Shiro.

Flickering behind him, she was about to punch him with her flaming fish when her body controls suddenly changed.

'Sh*t! The 1 second gap!' She thought in annoyance.

With her controls skewered for 1 second, she was open for the prince to attack her.

Thankfully, Shiro commanded Ataraxia to lock down Blythe, giving Keomi the time she needed to escape.

Glaring at the swords that were stopping his movements, Blythe activated another domain as the swords were pushed back by a forcefield.

'Hmm… that second gap is a bit annoying. I'll have to go a bit more passive so that I can help Keomi avoid lethal damage. Unlike me, she doesn't have the rejuvenation skill… Wait! Why would I need to go passive if I just make sure that his focus is on me?' Shiro thought with a grin.

Narrowing her eyes, she released Blythe from the makeshift sword prison.

Flickering beside him with impressive speed due to her light element, she twisted her body and slashed towards his neck.

*DANG!!!

Blocking it with a barrier, Blythe reached out for Shiro.

Kicking on the pommel of her sword, she flipped backwards before creating a bow of ice. Since she didn't want to use her Nanomancer class right now, she'll have to make do with magic weapons instead.

The only problem is that they deal more magic damage rather than physical so there was a high chance that Blythe can just ignore it with a barrier.

Drawing back the mana thread bow string, a luminescent arrow formed between her fingers.

*BOOM!!!!!

Firing the arrow just as her timer entered another 1 second gap, she allowed the force to push her back a little.

Flicking his wrist upwards, Blythe created a barrier and reflected the attack back at Shiro.

"Troublesome." Shiro muttered.

Just as the second gap finished, she flipped her body and dismantled the arrow.

Since one large arrow wouldn't work, how about several small ones that would cancel out his barriers? While she cannot stop the Executioner's Requiem, Blythe's magic should be a piece of cake for her.

Created a small ice platform for her to stand on, she pulled back on the strings once more. Only this time, she enhanced it with both light and her Celestial Path.

"Scatter!"

Firing the arrow, it split apart into hundreds of pieces while Shiro activated Analysis to scan his magic so that she knows where to hit.

Upon activation, the circuit patterns in her eyes started to glow with a red hue. If one was to look at her in the darkness, it would only look like a pair of menacing red eyes.

'Found it!'

Flexing her fingers slightly, the arrows started to curve and target the shield's weak points.

*PING!!!!

Shattering it to countless pieces, some of the arrows had even managed to pierce his skin.

"Gah!" Crying out in pain, the light element burned away at his flesh.

Quickly pulling the arrows out, he glared at Shiro.

'This can't go on. I need to grab her. That's all I need then I can kill her easily.' Blythe thought to himself.

Taking a deep breath, he used domains to enhance his own body.

*BOOM!!!

Taking a step forward, he instantly appeared before Shiro who had widened her eyes in shock.

'Sh*t!' Cursing loudly in her mind, she twisted her body and avoided his lethal jab to the head.

If that had hit, even if she had the Rejuvenation spell, she wouldn't be able to cast it.

Making a condensed orb of mana in front of them, she detonated it quickly to force the two of them apart.

Taking this chance to land a hit, Keomi jumped up behind Blythe before kicking him down into the ground.

*BANG!!!!

Seeing the ground crack and shatter from the collision, both Shiro and Keomi looked at each other before nodding.

"Syvi! Give us some buffs." Shiro ordered since Syvi was a Enchantress.

"Right on it."

Twirling her staff, several tier 3 magic circles rotated around her as Shiro got several notifications on her system.

[Buff Received]

+20% Crit Chance

+20% Ignore Armour

+20% Attack Speed

+25% Attack/Magic Damage

+20% Movement Speed

'Damn, that's quite remarkable for someone who hasn't reached B rank yet.' Shiro praised in her mind.

Making herself a platform once more, she grinned wildly and dashed towards where Blythe had landed.

'Under levelled and against someone who can potentially one shot kill me. Damn this danger is exhilarating.' She thought in excitement. Despite the risks, she just couldn't hold herself back from enjoying the moment.

Making herself two ice daggers, Shiro stabbed towards Blythe who parried with a staff.

"Come on? What's wrong? Can't hit me? What's the point of armour ignore if you can't hit me?" Shiro taunted.

Pivoting on her foot, she opened up a gap in his defence and flicked one of her daggers up into the air.

Stabbing the first dagger in his stomach, she then roundhouse kicked the falling dagger on the pommel and sent it burrowing into his shoulder.

"Gah you little pest!" Slamming his staff down, he tried to hit her with several spells but she only jumped into the rift and dodged.

Bypassing the second gap in the rift, she exited behind Blythe and wrapped her legs around his neck.

Falling back into a handstand, she tensed her body and threw him into the air.

Creating a bow once more, she fired it at his back.

*PING!!

Shattering the shield that he hastily put up, the arrow pierced into his shoulder blade.

Turning around to focus his attention on Shiro, he failed to realise that Keomi was about to land a hit on the arrow.

*BANG!!!

"GAH!!!"

The force of the punch not only allowed the arrow to pierce through his body, but also send him back down to Shiro who was readying a kick.

Making herself a nanotech ankle bracelet that enhanced her strength and magic damage, she narrowed her eyes and timed her roundhouse kick.

*BANG!

Twisting her body so that she kicked the back of his neck in order to accelerate his speed into the ground, a shockwave exploded out with the impact.

*BOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!

A huge cloud of dust exploded upwards as the ground shook from the impact.

During the hit, she could clearly feel that she had broken if not fractured his bone.

Before she could even rejoice, a black and red energy blade shot out from the smoke and pierced her heart.

Expanding in size immediately, it ripped her left arm off along with a portion of her torso.

Widening her eyes, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

'No way… he reached stage 4 already?' She thought in disbelief.

Executioner's Requiem Stage 4 : Dark Orbs will surround the user and attack with 200% speed whenever an opening presents itself. Limited to every 10 seconds.
