Chapter 124 Cleaning Up Some Trash After talking to Madison, Lyrica and Kanae for a little longer, Shiro entered the tent and saw Yin weakly laying on her sleeping bag.
Upon seeing Shiro enter the tent, Yin was instantly filled with life and flapped her wings towards Shiro.
*Chirp!
Yin cried out her injustice whilst pointing at her belly then to her mouth.
"I’m sure I left you enough mana stones to survive for a week.
How are you hungry?
" Shiro asked.
Yin paused for a moment before shaking her head.
Suspicion crept up on Shiro’s face as she turned to Madison.
[I’m sure I left Yin enough food for a week.
How is she hungry?
] "She ate it all on the first day.
" Madison rolled her eyes.

Chirp ~♡?
"Don’t act cute.
You can starve for tonight.
" Shiro sighed and put a lollipop in her own mouth.
*Chirp!
Yin reached out with her wings for the lollipop with teary eyes but Shiro only ignored her.
### Sitting on the tallest building in the slums, Shiro looked down with a pair of cold eyes.
Right now, she had created a black metallic hood that would hide her white hair in the moonlight.
Pulling up her mask, Shiro stood up and took a deep breath.
"We’ll test these blades tonight.
" She muttered as her necklace glimmered for a moment and four swords hovered around her.
Glancing at the swords, she changed them into the Shadow Element form and augmented it with Calamity’s Will.
The moment she augmented the swords, they started to change a little more as the swords looked a little more demonic.
Not only did the guard look like it was made with the spine of a dragon, but the blade itself became pitch black and carved with blood red runes.
The purple colour had completely been erased and instead, replaced with the ominous red that seemed to flicker with life.
Narrowing her eyes, Shiro ignored that and jumped off the roof.
Falling head first, she dived towards the two people that had just exited one of the buildings belonging to the Jade Sharks.
One of the top 3 syndicates in the slums.
She was going to cut down on the numbers of all 3 syndicates to get them to behave for now.
"Hunting time.
" She muttered as Yin poked her head out of the hood.
*Krrr!!!
Ice chains sprang up from the ground as the duo was instantly restrained.
Before they could even scream, Shiro flicked her wrist as two swords struck down.
*BANG!!!!
Upon contact, the blood red runs glowed ominously and started to consume the flesh from the duo’s body.
Even after cutting the duo in half, the corruption didn’t stop until both of them had been completely consumed.
"Mn...
Well aren’t you a scary sword.
" Shiro muttered in shock.
She never expected the potency of a Tier 2 Calamity’s Will would be so strong.
’Seems like I’ll have to avoid using this augment if I can since it’ll consume the mana stone inside the monster’s as well.
’ She thought to herself.
However, that was only limited to grunts that could die in one Critical Hit.
When pitted against a big boss, the corruption would help her greatly when trying to reduce the boss’s health.
Flipping her body, she landed on her foot and charged into the building.
The people inside were shocked but responded quickly by pulling out their weapons and charged towards Shiro.
Lightning and metal twined together in her hands as two hand cannons materialised.
*BANG BANG!
With two shots, she had easily killed the duo closest to her while blades orbited around her in order to protect her safety.
Whatever struck against the swords would start to corrode.
From her estimates, anything that was below a Blue rank would be a goner while blue rank could only resist the corrosion for a short moment.
If it was to come into contact with the swords for an extended period of time, they would crumble away.
"What the hell!!
" Someone shouted out in shock.
Not only did a random midget burst into their building and killed two people, but she did it with guns as well.
To make matters worse, she had four swords that destroyed weapons that came into contact with them in a matter of moments.
They were about to ship out a new batch of goods but they didn’t expect to be attacked *BANG BANG BANG!
Flipping over their attacks, Shiro killed three more people before controlling one of the swords to attack the final person in the room.
Landing on the table, she raised both arms and aimed the gun around her just to make sure the room was cleared.
’8 people.
That increases the tally to 18.
Only 32 more to go.
’ Shiro thought with narrowed eyes.
However, she wasn’t about to leave without looking around.
Hopping off the desk, she looked around and saw that the room was littered with trash.
On the floor was a mix of corpses, blood, money and playing cards.
Furrowing her brows, she decided to look around a little more before leaving since she had more people to kill tonight.
She couldn’t stop at just one room.
However, even after searching for a little longer, she couldn’t find anything substantial.
Twirling her hand cannon, she aimed it above her and shot once.
*BANG!
THUD!!
The shot had killed an assassin that was crawling on the ceiling.
She had noticed the assassin entering just now and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
’Trying to send killing intent at me expecting me to freeze is just stupid.
’ She thought to herself.
Leaving the room, she crouched down a little and jumped upwards.
With a simple flick of her wrist, an ice ramp erected under her feet and helped her reached the roof.
Dashing along the roof, Shiro glanced down to the street and saw quite a few people sneaking towards the camping site.
"Nice...
" She smiled coldly and jumped towards them.
### Dropping the head onto the ground, Shiro sighed in fatigue and looked around her.
If anyone else came into the room right now, they would pause in shock due to the sheer amount of blood splattered everywhere.
Now only that, but there was not a single intact corpse.
"And that’s number 100.
Ha....
" Shiro muttered as she had killed 140 people tonight.
40 to upgrade her current title and another 100 into the progress of her next title.
Unfortunately, after her 50 point mark, she needed 500 points for the next upgrade.
[Proficient Monster (100/500 Humans Killed)] Stat points are now worth 120% of their original value.
This change had allowed her to increase her HP and MP by a decent margin.
Unfortunately, however, she wasn’t able to level up.
Most of the people she had killed where level 20’s to 30’s with the rare few who were in their 40’s and a handful at level 50.
With this upgrade, her HP had reached 192.
5k and her MP reached 460.
57k.
Cracking her neck and the other bones in her body, Shiro yawned slightly and started to walk towards the camp again.
She had a huge hill of loot to sort through.
Some of which she would gladly throw into a pile and set it on fire.
That was due to the fact that at least 20% of the objects she could see were ’tools’ used to spice up one’s night with their partner.
Some of which were more extreme than others.
’If I gave these to Aarim, I may be able to clean out my tab.
’ Shiro thought as she still owed her a photoshoot.
Shaking her head, Shiro made her way back to the tent so that she could catch some sleep.
Even though she could easily go a few days without sleep, it was always better to rest when you can.
### "So what is it that you wanted to show us?
" Madison asked as they had rented a training space in the Adventurer’s Guild.
Lyrica nodded in agreement since she too was a little curious as to what Shiro had obtained in the trial.
[Before I can show you it, let’s have a little spar.
I want to see both of you attack me with everything you got.
I want to see how far you progressed first.
] Shiro smiled.
"You sure?
" Lyrica asked.
[Yep.
And remember, everything you got.
I don’t want a 50% effort.
I don’t want you to almost give everything you got.
I want you to come at me, like you want to kill me.
120% effort.
] Looking at the seriousness in her eyes, they knew she wasn’t kidding.
Furrowing her brows slightly, Lyrica looked at Madison as the two of them nodded at each other.
"Alright.
" Madison sighed and equipped her weapon.
Lyrica was the same and equipped her upgraded dual ended blades.
As for Shiro, she tapped her necklace and summoned her ascendant dream.
The four swords floated with a soft chime.
Once the three of them were ready, they made eye contact and nodded at each other.
"Attack Knight!
" Madison commanded as a dark aura burst out from her and wrapped pitch black armour over her body.
Her weapons shifted into a giant axe since she knew that fighting Shiro defensively would only end in failure.
Their best bet would be to face her offensively.
Whilst Madison was powering up, Lyrica dashed towards Shiro with her blade twirling besides her.
"Rose Blossom: Vines.
" Lyrica said whilst she aimed her spare palm at Shiro.
A magic circle with the design of a rose in the centre erupted out from underneath Shiro as rose vines shot out and attempted to wrap around Shiro.
She only smiled as her swords flicked with lightning.
*BOOM!!!!
As if she were incarnation of a lightning spirit, lightning struck around her like a protective guard and shattered Lyrica’s magic circle as a result.
"Urg!
Rose Blossom: Bloom!
" Lyrica shouted out whilst being flung backwards.
Seeing the force of the strike she knew that they had to focus.
The pieces of vines that were broken due to Shiro’s lightning glowed slightly before morphing into roses that shattered into countless petals.
All of the petals sharpened up into blades and shot towards Shiro.
’Impressive, but not enough.
’ Clutching her hand, a magic circle expanded around the room and turned it into an ice cave.
Frozen Hell Series: Azure Soul Fire.
Blue fire lit up around her and shot towards the petals.
Once it lit up a petal, five more fire balls would fly outwards and onto the other petals.
In a short moment, she had already frozen all of the petals that Lyrica had conjured up.
As for Lyrica, she was currently in awe at the sight of Shiro being surrounded by lightning and fire.
Standing calmly inside the chaos whilst her white hair danced around with each of her movements.
’L.
u.
s.
t?
’ Shiro thought confused at what she could see in Lyrica’s eyes.
However, that didn’t stop her.
With a single flick of her wrist, a blunted ice spear shot towards her whilst her guard was down.
"Uah!
" Lyrica cried out in surprise as Madison grabbed the back of her collar and flung her away.
"Ha!
" She shouted whilst swinging her axe at the incoming spear.
*BANG!
The collision sent her sliding backwards and stopped near Lyrica.
"I know you want nothing more than to rub one out right now since I have to admit, Shiro’s looking god damn f*ckable right now.
BUT, remember her age and the fact that we’re in a fight!
" Madison whispered before charging forward.
Lyrica shook her head and dashed forwards alongside Madison.
Madison’s axe started to heat up as magma flowed out of the axe’s blade.
Volcanic Mountain Cleaver!
Grabbing one of the floating swords, Shiro smiled and slashed towards the side of the axe.
Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom – Counter Weight Phantom.
*BANG!!!
The force caused Madison to widen her eyes at Shiro’s outrageous strength.
She had a few spars with the level 50’s so she knew what the strength of level 50 amounted to and Shiro’s strength was not something a mage should have.
Plus, it may even surpass some of the level 50 strength based adventurers she sparred with.
Lyrica took this chance to swing her blade towards Shiro in this gap.
However, before her blade could even get close enough, it was blocked by three blades that flickered with lightning.
’Their teamwork has improved a little.
’ Shiro thought with a smile.
### "Ha....
Ha...
ha...
" Both Lyrica and Madison panted heavily as they laid on the floor of the sparring room.
The result was as one could guess, a one sided fight that gave Lyrica and Madison no chance of retaliation.
"Ha...
can ha...
can we see what you wanted to show us now?
" Madison asked whilst her chest jiggled to her breathing.
Shiro glared at those mountains and wondered if she could reduce their size a little if she ripped them off and healed her using the Fire of Life.
Even though her own body had grown a little due to her previous upgrade, it was still far from what she wanted.
"Shiro...
I know you hate my tits but please don’t look at them like they’re your mortal enemy.
" Madison said as she felt like she could cough up her lung right now.
[Mn.
I’ll show you what I got from the trial now.
] *Click Snapping her fingers, green fire lit up on her finger tips.
Waving her fingers, the fire flew towards the duo and expanded to cover their entire body.
Madison was surprised at the fact that her body was healing at a visible pace.
Even her fatigue is somewhat relieved.
However, Lyrica’s reaction was a little different since she recognised the flame.
"Shiro...
Why do you have the Essence Flame?
"
