  As she stepped into the spot, she could feel her body become weightless.

  "Mn?" Raising her eyebrows, Shiro noticed that her elements seemed to be floating around her in the form of orbs. The colours matched except for the mystery element that she had recently acquired. The orb that represented the mystery element was strange……

  It would pulse and change shapes but always return back to its orb form. It was almost as if something was trying to break out of the shell but would always come just short of piercing the outer layer.

  [You have 24 hours to ’craft’ your sword using all of the skills available to you. Your mental image of the final product must be clear otherwise the outcome may vary.]

  "I have 24 hours to craft my sword huh? Interesting." Shiro grinned as this was the perfect opportunity to create the most destructive sword. One that used the mystery element as the base and attacked the core of their being. However, due to the fact that she did not fully understand how the mystery element worked and the potential it held, she would need some time to study her materials.

  Reaching out for the orb that represented the element, Shiro wondered if she could get a few live test subjects to experiment on.

  As if reading her mind, several monsters appeared in front of her, unmoving. It ranged from small monsters such as goblins to huge ones such as wyvern. Noticing that they seemed to be soulless for a lack of a better word, Shiro wondered if she could actually use this element against them. After all, it was one that retrieved their code from the system.

  "Let’s see…… Since I can only extract the code once a month, maybe there’s another way for me to use it as an attack. Much like soul attacks, maybe this one can directly bypass their armour and attack them at their core? While I wouldn’t be able to extract their code, killing them should be a piece of cake. Likewise, if this works out, I’ll be able to make some bullets that have the same properties." Shiro chuckled as there was a sadistic glint in her eyes.

  Plus, if she was able to harness the mystery element in an offensive way, maybe there’s a chance for her to apply it in a few ’hobbies’ of her’s. The first example being torture. She could already imagine how much pain this could inflict as even the Light God cried out from the damage when she activated the skill.

  Thinking about the agonising faces of her enemies as they suffered from the attack caused her to giggle slightly as she immediately started to work on her new sword.

  Meanwhile, in the divine realm, the Light God conjured a mirror up and looked at his bare chest. Right over where his heart would be, a circuit like pattern could be seen as it tried to spread to the rest of his body. However, he had already placed a seal around this spot and prevented any more damage from being inflicted upon him.

  The only thing that he couldn’t stop was the pain it would feel with every pulse of the circuit. It was as if someone reached deep into his brain and started to pull away at his flesh.

  Gritting his teeth, he put his clothes back on as there was now a murderous glint in his eyes.

  "Just you wait, the first thing I’m going to do when the new age arrives is kill you on the spot." He scowled with seething fury.

  Dismissing the mirror, he was going to invade a few quest dungeons to see if he could find a better avatar than Lisandra for his daughter.

  Watching him leave, a woman chuckled as she laid on the bed. If Shiro was here, she would recognise her as the previous Light Goddess, not Aekari’s daughter.

  ’How far will he stray? How far will he go to defy his fate?’ The Light Goddess thought while closing her eyes once more.

  After Nan Tian carried Shiro back to the inn, the rescue operation continued without a hitch. Killing the guards and freeing the captives, they managed to save a grand total of 550,000 captives with quite a few that were in A class.

  Some that were reported to be missing or killed were found after a quick scan of the guild database.

  However, despite the fact that they had saved a lot of people, the attack force did suffer a huge number of casualties that resulted in them only having 3,200 members left from the initial 6,000.

  In addition to this, a few of the elders had also suffered near fatal wounds during the fight and were saved by Shiro.

  Keeping a note of this in their mind, they decided to repay Shiro for her help should she require it in the future.

  Sending Nan Tian a message about their decision, they started to make their way back to their branches before the government started asking about their identities.

  While everyone was cleaning up after the battle and making a note on who was saved, Keiko searched around the main base for Yuki’s whereabouts. After all, she was their main target for this rescue mission.

  Unfortunately, even after searching the entirety of the main base and even discovering a few vaults along the way, she was not able to find Yuki at all.

  Sending a message to Nan Tian about this problem, Keiko waited to see if he had anything that might help them track Yuki down.

  [Nan Tian: Do you have anything that might belong to Yuki? If you have that, I’ll be able to use one of my items to track her down.]

  Seeing this response, Keiko immediately told him about the messages that she had sent out to inform her of Shiro’s situation.

  [Nan Tian: Hmm…… that would work. Come to the inn and I’ll give you the item. I don’t exactly want to leave Shiro alone when she’s in this state.]

  [Keiko: Sure.]

  Asking Estrella to escort her out of the dungeon, Keiko made her way to the inn and got the item from Nan Tian.

  "This is the essence tracking incense. Burn the item belonging to the person you want to track and it’ll lead them to you. Keep note that you should use this inside the dungeon since it wouldn’t track them if they’re in a different dimension." Nan Tian explained as he handed her the incense.

  "I see…… Is there a time limit to the tracking?" Keiko asked.

  "20 minutes. It tracks for 20 minutes and it’ll wear off after that."

  "Ok, keep an eye on Shiro ok?" Keiko smiled and started to walk away. At this point, she trusted Nan Tian to look after Shiro since he took several near lethal blows in order to keep her safe. Not only that, he had also sacrificed a lot of his levels just so that we could even out the playing field.

  Making her way back inside the dungeon, she burned the letter with the incense and a faint trail of light could be seen leading back to the main building.

  "Hm? She was in there? But didn’t I just check it earlier?" Keiko muttered with a frown before dashing towards it once more.

  Following the trail, she started to navigate through the building with ease. This eventually led her to the back of the building where she could see what seems to be the core of this entire place. Looking around the room, she couldn’t spot anyone but the trail was telling her to go behind the core.

  Furrowing her brows, Keiko continued to follow the trail.

  Destroying any wall that blocked her, she had to fend off a few barriers before she finally reached a hidden room.

  Within the hidden room, a giant glass column could be seen as there were several figures sealed inside the glass.

  Recognising Yuki to be one of them, Keiko was about to shatter the ice when Estrella stopped her.

  "What are you doing." Keiko asked coldly as Estrella only shook her head.

  "This is the fuel cell for the dungeon. Her mana is being used to power this place. If you destroy it, the dungeon will collapse down on everyone, killing us in the process. With how the empress described the human EXP farm, I’m guessing the man would have gotten the EXP once they died.

  "He’s essentially killing two birds with one stone." Estrella explained as Keiko gritted her teeth.

  If they destroyed the glass, the dungeon would kill everyone. If they didn’t destroy the glass, Yuki and the people being used as the fuel would die regardless.

  "Estrella, I got a crazy thought. What if we used Shiro’s Realm Node as an emergency exit? We’ll evacuate everyone and once they’re out, me and you teleport these people out of the glass and teleport out using the node." Keiko suggested.

  Hearing her suggestion, Estrella frowned.

  "If we’re slow, we’ll be killed."

  "Don’t worry, I’ve got a plan." Keiko smiled since escaping dangerous situations was her forte. As long as she did everything correctly, she’ll be able to save everyone in the glass without a single casualty.
