Chapter 750 - Nyx's Divinity

Reversing the situation in a single second, it was as if a rain of star light descended onto the monster.

Countless sword strikes landed against his body as the weaknesses and the chinks in the armour were obvious to Shiro's sight.

As the monster could no longer pinpoint Shiro while she attacked, the only thing he could rely on was his sense of touch. But with the nature of this domain, the sense of touch was not exactly accurate since an attack could come from behind the creature.

However, there was a slight downside to this boundary. It was draining her stamina heavily and with her current state, Shiro couldn't afford to drag this on any longer. When she grasped this, she was already exhausted.

If there was light, one would be able to see that her constitution was extremely pale right now.

Biting her lips, Shiro continued her attack since she knew she was very close. The moment she breaks through this monster's armour is the moment she killed him.

Since his movements and weaknesses were shown to her, she could target them with ease and even knock his arms aside despite their physical differences.

Feeling as though her lungs were about to burst, Shiro narrowed her eyes and summoned her spear.

Piercing towards his chest, she watched as the spear tip shattered the translucent armour around the monster and pierced through his chest.

However, she didn't let her guard down. Pulling out the spear, she stabbed him a few more times.

Pushing the monster back, she didn't allow him a single change to attack back at her.

*BANG!!!!

Crashing against the wall, the monster laid there lifelessly as Shiro finally saw her system return to her vision.

[You have completed the Tower of Nyx.]

Seeing this, Shiro sighed in relief and instantly collapsed on the ground.

Forcing her eyes open, Shiro could see a dark purple Sigil in front of her that was almost identical to the Sigil of Night that Nyx had given her before.

[Primordial Divinity of Nyx]

- You have full control over Shadows and Night

- You can create an area of pure darkness around you where your enemies lose all sense of sight and their hearing is dampened.

- Your shadows are able to dampen the effects of magic. The more energy you use, the more powerful this dampening effect is. It can even nullify magic.

- You can control the space around you so that people cannot escape through magical means.

- You can use shadows as a means of attack. They will constantly drain the energy from anything they touch and transfer the energy to you.

- You can transform your body into a collection of shadows.

- If anyone tries to land a life threatening attack against you, you can disperse into a wave of shadows once per day and they can no longer use the same method to try to kill you.

- You can use shadow as a means of transport.

- You can use shadows to form illusions.

- You can create an area of silence around you where no sound can escape.

- You have full control over the Section of Night and the monsters that inhabit this place.

- You have a keen sense towards Magic.

Reading the benefits that Nyx's Divinity gives her, Shiro raised her eyebrow in surprise since a few of the abilities are reminiscent of what she had before entering this world.

Thinking about it for a moment, she shrugged her shoulders since it was better to say that her abilities were similar to Nyx's rather than the other way around.

Forcing herself back on her feet, Shiro stumbled for a moment as the arena around her slowly lit up with a soft light.

Seeing the destruction around her with almost broken pillars and shattered floors, she looked at the bloodied corpse of the monster which was slowly decaying into ash which drifted off in the wind.

"Thanks for your help." Shiro smiled since he was the one who helped her grasp this new boundary.

Glancing back, she could see a portal of sorts as she walked towards it while using her spear as cane of sorts to help her stand.

As Tenma was fighting the final champion to Nyx's tower, the tower suddenly lit up with purple runes which flickered for a moment before dimming down.

Just as that happened, the final champion froze in place and dispersed into shadows.

With the barrier broken as well, Tenma stood in the centre with a confused face.

Naturally, the sisters were also confused as to why that happened.

However, their confusion soon turned to joy as they saw Shiro appearing in front of the tower with a spear as her support.

Seeing her pale face and tired eyes, they knew she must have had quite a fight inside the tower.

Quickly running over to her, Tricia, Beril and Quella supported her.

"What happened?" Beril asked while quickly giving her some medicine to relieve her fatigue.

"Nothing much. I finished the trial." Shiro grinned as the three widened their eyes in surprise. In history, only one person had ever completed the tower and now in front of them, the second person stood.

"Wait you have?" Quella asked as Shiro nodded her head.

Snapping her fingers, the sky above the tower slowly brightened to reveal the light of day before returning to normal.

"Now can we have some food and rest? I've been fighting for the last couple of hours and I'm tired as f*ck." Shiro forced a smile as the three nodded their heads. 

Just as they were about to leave, Tenma stood in front of them with a frown on his face.

"What did you do? I was about to complete my skip." He asked.

"I finished the trial. Nyx's divinity is mine. Maybe it's a premium divinity that only one person could own at a time. Who knows?" Shiro shrugged as Tenma gritted his teeth.

"Then it should have rightfully been mine."

"You clown are you hearing yourself right now? First come first serve dip sh*t. Who was so cowardly that you let me face the dangers first. Now that I have obtained it, you say that it's rightfully yours? Bullsh*t." Shiro rolled her eyes.

[Hahahahaha, she's right you know. But now that tower can't be attempted again, you have no use to me.] A creepy voice rang out but this time everyone could hear it.

Hearing this voice, Shiro forced a smile as it was very familiar to her.

"Ancient Terror. Well I'll be damned, this f*cker was a spy all along huh?" Shiro said as she had the sisters stand back.

Last time she couldn't do anything against this guy but this time was going to be different.

He's not at full power yet so if they could kill him it would be a good opportunity.

[Indeed. I thought he would be more useful but no. This clown took much longer to complete the trial, well, he didn't even complete it in the end haha. Do you mind if I eat him right now? Not sure if you want this clown to live or not.] The Ancient Terror chuckled as Shiro shrugged.

"Be my guest. He's dead the moment he colluded with you. Even if you didn't eat him, I would have killed him myself." Shiro grinned as panic appeared on Tenma's face.

But before he could say anything, several eyes opened up on his body as teeth exploded out of him.

With the sound of bone crunching and blood pouring, they watched as Tenma's body was devoured from the inside out.

From his flesh, a shadow grew which slowly transformed into the Ancient Terror.

Unlike before, his body was now more fleshed out as less bones could be seen. However, he was still disgustingly anorexic which only caused Shiro to shake her head.

"You seem like you've had quite a diet since the last time I saw you." Shiro smiled.

"And you seem like you've obtained quite a bit of power. I didn't expect you to have obtained Nyx's divinity which is a small deviation which I did not expect." The Ancient Terror replied while the sisters were all frozen in place and their faces were pale.

"Though I must say, the fact that you can move freely is a… surprise for sure." He narrowed his eyes.

"It would be quite problematic if I couldn't." Shiro smirked as her notification rang out.

[Kill the Ancient Terror now and you may end the Trial. You can also kill him later after you fulfill the quest steps of obtaining all the divinities.]

Seeing this, Shiro didn't even hesitate to choose the first option since who knows what would happen if she let him go now.
