BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154 Yuan Tian
Chapter 154 Yuan Tian
"Only one more level till you get another skill right?" Shiro asked, not expecting an answer.
*chirp!
Nodding her head, Yin wanted to participate a bit more so that she could get into C rank sooner.
"Since our stock of mana stones should be pretty good now, we can spend more time on the next floor for you to get some EXP." Shiro said as she turned their batch of mana stones into mana stone lollipops.
Throwing one in her mouth, Shiro was surprised to see her level increase to level 47.
’Huh... So I just needed a little more EXP to level up. Lucky~’ She thought to herself.

With her stats improving overall, Shiro was comparable to a low grade level 51! And that was considering the fact that they got a bonus due to them being in C class.
’If I reach level 50, I should be able to hold my own against level 51-55’s even if they’re an entire class above me. My stats should make up for the difference.’ Shiro thought to herself with a smile.
Plus, her set armour gave her life steal and mana leech, which allowed her to be self sustaining. Not to mention the fact that she had skills that would buff MP and HP regen along with Fire of Life that would heal her.
When paired with her ridiculous attacking power, she IS the most powerful level 47 in history.
And that was including the fact that her links were still broken!
Making her way to the obelisk, Shiro saw the mini boss awaiting her arrival.
The boss itself was a four tailed wolf with snow white fur, crystal blue eyes and neon blue streaks across its body.
Standing up at around 5 meters, the wolf king sat with an air of royalty.
[Four Tailed Luna Wolf King LVL 50 – Boss]
HP: 2,000,000/2,000,000
MP: 3,000,000/3,000,000
Normally, the wolf king would summon all of his underlings but Shiro had foiled this plan. With her ability to sense everything that came into contact with snow in her area, she was able to snuff all of the wolves.
Naturally, this meant the king was alone.
"Might as well give this a try." Shiro grinned as lightning and metal sparked in her hand.
Soon, a double barrelled shotgun could be seen in her grasp. Smooth black metal with red highlights along the panels.
Loading two Fire Burst Bullets, Shiro crouched down and dashed towards the boss.
"Yin, you might want to get a few shots in before I kill it." Shiro reminded.
*Chirp!
Flapping her wings, Yin became a blur and shot towards the boss.
Even Shiro was surprised by the extent of her speed.
*PUCHI PUCHI PUCHI!
Deep lacerations could be seen on the wolf king’s body, especially near the mouth.
Swiping his tails, a blizzard formed around him in an attempted to freeze Yin.
"Not on my watch." Shiro laughed as she snapped her fingers and dispelled the blizzard.
Yin Style Asura’s path: Phantom Path!
Her body flickered under the boss and jammed her shotgun barrel in one of the lacerations.
*BANG!!!!!!
The force of the shot sent the wolf king stumbling backwards. However, the recoil had also affected Shiro since she had almost let go of the shotgun.
Fire could be seen erupting from his wound as his HP dropped rapidly.
Reloading her weapon with normal bullets, Shiro gestured for Yin to attack more often.
With the support that Shiro provided, they were able to destroy most of the boss’s health quickly since she had effectively shut down his entire arsenal of skills.
What would have been a rather difficult boss for normal adventurers became a joke in front of Shiro and Yin.
Looking at the boss that laid in a puddle of its own blood, hers eyes softened and crouched in front of him.
"Does it hurt?" She asked, making eye contact.
The wolf king didn’t say anything but close his eyes. From the fight it just had, he somewhat knew of her personality. She would not show compassion for a boss she had just beaten.
"Tsk, no fun." Shiro frowned before pointing her gun at his head and pulled the trigger.
*BANG!
Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere as Shiro flexed her finger and froze everything around her. She liked her new dress quite a bit and she wasn’t about to let some blood dirty it.
Stretching her body, Shiro yawned a little before tapping the obelisk to teleport her to the next floor.
Meanwhile...
"Please let me come with you!" The Watcher asked with a bow.
"Why should I." Lyrica narrowed her eyes with suspicion.
"I wish to see the kind of heights my princess can reach. Due to certain circ.u.mstances, I cannot form a contract with her. Hence I sought you out to sign a contract." The Watcher admitted.
After he saw Shiro leave, he suddenly felt like he would regret this for the rest of his life if he didn’t follow her. Hence why he decided to sign a contract with Lyrica instead.
"And why would I help you? Especially after the way you treated me." Lyrica frowned.
Of course, that was only an excuse. Why should she let some old geezer follow Shiro around? Where’s the FBI when you need them.
"And I’m sorry for that. This old man is willing to lay my life down for you just so that I can follow princess in the other world." The Watcher bowed.
"And if I sign a contract with you, what benefits will it give me?"
"You’ll have my full support in unlocking the full potential of your new sword."
"...And would you just be in spirit form?" Lyrica asked.
"No. I’ll have my own body but I won’t be able to use my powers. But that doesn’t mean I’m useless. I can still use my powers but only in times of need since I’ll need to return to spirit form and enter a deep slumber in order to recover from the backlash."
"So... You’ll just become a butler?" Lyrica asked with a raised eyebrow.
"...yes." The Watcher replied after a short moment.
"What else can you do?" She asked.
"I can teach you my sword arts."
"Hmm... fine. BUT, how do I make sure that you can’t go against my orders if we do sign a contract." Lyrica narrowed her eyes.
"The contract that we’ll be signing is a life and death contract. If I die, you’ll be fine. But if you die, I’ll die also. Not only that, but you orders will have sway over me. As long as it’s not overboard, I cannot disobey."
"Overboard in what way?"
"Anything that goes against my own moral compass. So things like killing kids or r*pe and the such." The Watcher replied.
"Hmm, sure. So what do I do?" Lyrica asked.
"Give me a droplet of your blood and I’ll establish the contract."
Nodding her head, Lyrica gave him a droplet of blood as he repeated the same thing he tried with Shiro.
A golden glow encased his body as the illusionary image of shackles chained him up before fading away.
His spiritual form started to change as he became a young man standing at 1.8 meters. He had black hair and black eyes and wore a white hanfu. While he was handsome, he had little to no effect on Lyrica.
"My life is now in your hands Ly-"
"Call me Young Miss." Lyrica grinned in a similar manner to Shiro. This was her own form of revenge since he had looked down on her before.
Plus, the order wasn’t overboard so The Watcher could only obey her.
"Understood Young Miss." He nodded with a bow.
"What’s your name and tell me about yourself in terms of combat potential?" Lyrica asked.
"My name is Yuan Tian. Divine Swordsman. Current level is 1 but I can exhibit power 20 levels above you in times of need. So right now, I can perform similar to a level 65." Yuan Tian replied with a respectful bow.
"Alright, follow me. I’m leaving the trial now." Lyrica said since she didn’t want to leave him behind.
"Don’t worry Young Miss, even if you leave me in the corner of the world, I’ll be forcefully teleported to you should you will it or if you’re in danger." Yuan Tian said, informing her about the matter.
"Handy." Lyrica replied with a shrug before leaving the trial.
###
*BANG!!!!!
Firing her shotgun, Shiro killed the second mini boss as only one more boss remained till she cleared the dungeon. From what she remembered, the final boss was a strength type boss that has a high resistance to fire and ice.
Unfortunately for it, even if it was resistant to both elements, her shotgun bullet does not belong to any element.
In order words...
"Wow, this dungeon can’t do sh*t against me." Shiro muttered as she had slightly underestimated her effectiveness in an ice type dungeon.
While she did understand that she had a huge advantage against ice type enemies, she didn’t think that she could suppress them to this extent. Plus, they couldn’t use anything other than ice so they were helpless against her.
Naturally, she wasn’t complaining but just doing target practice didn’t get her blood boiling. No. It bored the living crap outta her.
"Urg... You know what Yin, why don’t you try fighting the boss alone. I’ll help when he’s using ice magic." Shiro offered since it was a good way for Yin to get more EXP from her contributions.
*Chirp!
Yin didn’t mind since she just wanted to reach level 50 quickly and class up.
"Great, then that’s settled. You fight the boss along and I’ll only help if it’s using ice magic." Shiro smiled and teleported them into the final boss room.
However, once she entered the boss room, she tilted her head back seeing the size of the boss.
*Whistle~
"Pretty huge." Shiro mused to herself.
Standing at almost 10 meters, blue skin and white hair, the giant was clad in thick plated armour.
While the duo was talking, the giant didn’t let them have a break since a two fold magic circle had already covered the entire boss room.
Looking at the magic circle, Shiro only scoffed slightly before flicking it with her finger.
*Ping~
The giant was shocked seeing his magic being destroyed so easily.
"This princess doesn’t even need to use my Mana Disruption bullets for you." Shiro taunted with a grin.
While the giant didn’t know what a Mana Disruption bullet was, it knew that the little girl was looking down on him.
*URAHH!!!!
He shouted out and punched towards her.
Yin Style Asura’s Path: Phantom Path.
Flickering away from the punch, Shiro hid herself in the room.
*BOOM!!!
*Ping ping!
Yin’s attacks only bounced off the armour as Shiro frowned.
’Seems like Yin’s lacking a lot of attack power.’
However, it could be a situation where Yin would have low firepower early in the levels but get exponentially stronger later on.
Seeing her attacks ineffective, Yin narrowed her eyes in annoyance.
*Chirp!
A two fold magic circle started to enlarge as Shiro could tell Yin was pooling most of her mana into this spell.
"Tsk, don’t make yourself an easy target with this!" Shiro clicked her tongue and aimed her palm at the boss.
Clutching her hand into a fist, several ice chains erupted from the ground and wrapped around the boss as Yin charged up her magic.
*URAHH!!!
The giant tried to struggle but the chains refused to budge.
As the boss was trying to struggle out of the chains, Yin had finished her spell.
*Chirp!!
Black mist started to encroach into the room and slowly crawled towards the boss.
Slipping into his armour, the mist started to eat away at the boss’s flesh.
"Oh damn..." Shiro muttered as she didn’t expect Yin to pull such a powerful spell.
The spell had similar properties to the corrosive nature of her augmented Shadow Attunement but Shiro knew they were slightly different.
While her augment is more closely linked to decay and withering, Yin’s was more ravenous. It was as if it was a beast that had been starved for centuries.
"What kind of beast are you?" Shiro muttered with curiosity.
