  With Shiro now tanking the boss in her heavy metal armour, the party didn’t have to worry about taking aggro since her attack was the highest out of the entire group.

  While this was happening, Yin decided to just relax and poke at the flesh walls.

  She would set them on fire amongst other things to see what kind of reaction they would have.

  As for Chen Yu, he had managed to find 5 motes so far. Since they had 9 members in the party, they needed to get 18 motes in total for the damage phase to begin.

  "Oh right, Madi, I’ll play dead for the damage phase so that you can get the aggro back. After all, unlike you, I don’t have any skills to buff up my defence. The only reason that my armour is working is because I’m repairing the damage before the woman can attack again." Shiro called out as she tanked another hit from the woman.

  Stepping back slightly, Shiro slammed the shield in retaliation, bouncing the force back to her.

  "That’s fine. Honestly, I’m just enjoying myself right now. it’s rare that I use my axe you know?" Madison replied.

  Pulling her axe back, magma surged around the blade.

  Cleaving towards the boss, the axe left a faint trail of red as sizzling sounds could be heard. Parts of the woman’s cloak started to burn but it was soon repaired due to its nature as monster cloth. After all, it would be quite awkward to be fighting a n.a.k.e.d boss.

  "I found the 10th one. We’ll need to start getting the motes or else more won’t spawn." Chen Yu called out since they would be locked in place the moment they grab two motes.

  "Got it. Yin, Lisandra, Aarim, Helion and Silvia can grab the first 10. We’ll keep the boss busy in the meantime." Lyrica called out as they made their way towards Chen Yu.

  While the six of them were transferring motes with each other so that they’re not stuck in place, Shiro noticed that the boss was now being quite aggressive.

  By this point, not only was she trying to cut her head off with the scythe, but she was also grabbing her shield so that she couldn’t move it into place. Due to her rather low strength stat, the boss succeeded in moving her shield out of the way.

  However, unfortunately for the boss, Shiro wasn’t limited by her hands.

  Creating a pair of cannons on the armour, she narrowed her eyes and shot the boss just as she pried the shield to the side.

  *BANG BANG!!!!

  With two chunks of metal crashing against her ribs, the boss tumbled against the ground as blood dripped from her body.

  "Don’t grab the shield~" Shiro taunted with a smile.

  "Honestly, if I was the boss, I would be infuriated while fighting against you. You don’t even need a taunt skill to piss off the boss." Madison raised her eyebrow.

  "Well it’s just something I picked up after fighting a bunch in my first life. Turns out that people get pretty angry if you taunt them with a few words after a poke." Shiro shrugged.

  "I don’t think it’s the words that pissed them off." Madison’s smile twitched.

  "Well I got the same result so it’s fine. You think I should poke this woman too? Make sure the aggro is secured." Shiro asked.

  "No because I think if you did that, the aggro wouldn’t go even if you play dead." Madison shook her head.

  While the two were joking around and keeping the boss busy, they managed to transfer all of the motes.

  With the motes now collected, more started to spawn and Chen Yu had to go look for them again.

  But just as the rest of the party returned to the fight, the nun took a step back and glared at everyone.

  Without saying anything, a red demonic aura seemed to flicker from her body.

  "Watch out, she’s pissed." Lyrica called out with a frown.

  *BANG!!!

  Before the rest of the party could properly react, the nun appeared behind Shiro and tried to cut her back with the scythe. Unfortunately, a cage of nanobots erupted out from around her, blocking the scythe.

  "Sorry but my back is pretty guarded." Shiro turned around slowly.

  Slamming the shield down, a tier 5 magic circle expanded out around the cage. Activating Frozen Slumber, chains of ice wrapped around the boss as she was slowly frozen.

  Her eyes constricted in a mixture of surprise and anger.

  Gritting her teeth, the boss plunged her hand into her chest just before she was completely frozen.

  Crushing her heart, her body fell limp on the ground as a black mist started to flow out of her body.

  Forming into the shape of what seemed to be a grim reaper above her, the reaper twisted her body and slashed the cage into pieces.

  "Well damn." Shiro raised her eyebrow since she didn’t expect her attack power to increase.

  Understanding that just standing there and tanking the hit was probably a bad idea, Shiro dismissed her armour and summoned her swords.

  Throwing the shield back to Madison, Shiro grabbed Athera and quickly parried the reaper’s next attack.

  Redirecting it to the ground, Shiro created an orb of fire and slammed it against the reaper’s chest. Since she was currently in spirit form, fire should be rather effective against her and as she had predicted, the reaper quickly retreated hastily.

  Merging back into the nun’s body, she was healed back to full.

  "Hmm…… no wonder we need the motes to deal damage. It seems like she’ll keep doing this over and over again to heal back to full." Shiro raised her eyebrow.

  "Exactly. Hence why we just need to keep her busy. Honestly, this was supposed to be a bit harder you know?" Lyrica chuckled.

  "And I’m guessing I changed that." Shiro smiled.

  "Yup." Lyrica nodded as she charged at the now healed Nun.

  Keeping her busy for a little longer, Chen Yu had finally found the remaining motes of light.

  "Now then, this is going to be a little annoying since Shiro has a firm hold on the aggro. We’ll have her play dead then we’ll bring her to the first two, While that happens, Silvi, I’ll need you to buff up Madison for a bit so that she can keep the nun busy. Once Shiro gets two motes while playing dead, she’ll come out of that state and grab the Aggro again." Lyrica instructed as Shiro nodded her head.

  Jumping back, she activated her play dead skill and ’collapsed’ on the ground.

  Losing her initial target, the nun turned towards Madison.

  "Perfect." Lyrica nodded and dashed towards Shiro.

  Picking her up into a princess carry, Lyrica suppressed the blush that was creeping up on her face as she arrived next to Chen Yu who was ready to transfer the motes.

  Once the motes were transferred, Shiro opened her eyes.

  "Am I heavy?" Shiro joked with a raised eyebrow.

  "Nope." Lyrica chuckled as she let Shiro down.

  Just as she did this, the Nun flickered above them with her scythe raised.

  "No sneak attacking my best friend now you hear me?" Shiro smiled.

  Snapping her fingers, ice spikes erupted out from the pillars around them and stabbed against the nun, pushing her body back.

  "Right then, I’ll get ready to play dead again when the boss is going to attack ok?" Shiro chuckled since she wasn’t planning on joining in on the damage phase. After all, if she joined, she would probably kill the boss in one go.

  Nodding her head, Lyrica and Madison quickly dashed after Chen Yu so that they could collect the other motes.

  With all 18 motes collected, a collection of blood runes appeared on the boss’ scythe.

  [Faceless Nun – LVL 200 BOSS (Vulnerable)]

  HP: 700,000,000/700,000,000

  MP: 1,600,000,000/2,000,000,000

  Now that the boss was in a vulnerable state, they could finally damage her properly.

  Since she could potentially kill the boss in one go, Shiro decided to make herself a chair so that she could sit down for a bit.

  Seeing this, the boss was infuriated and tried to cleave the scythe at her but Shiro only brushed it aside using phantom path.

  With the boss’ guard open, the rest of the party charged at her like ravenous wolves, ripping parts of her flesh off with every hit. Her HP plummeted quickly as she was soon reduced to 400 million.

  Gritting her teeth, the boss raised her scythe above her head as Shiro understood that this was the unblockable attack.

  Passing her motes to Madison so that she could tank the hit, Shiro followed it up with her Grace skill.

  "Grace~" Shiro called out with humour before playing dead. With all the aggro transferred to Madison, she promptly raised her shield to tank the strike. Multiple auras swirled around her body as Silvia buffed her defence up even higher. With the sheer amount of buffs that was on Madison, the damage she could have taken from the unlockable hit was rather…… pitiful. Especially with Grace’s damage reduction properties that was percentile based instead of number based.

  Repeating this process two more times, they were able to slay the boss without any problems. All while Shiro taunted the living crap out of the boss without any skills.

  Glaring at Shiro just before the death, the nun cursed at Shiro over and over in her mind before collapsing into mist.
