"Heeeh~ so the boss is a giant Dinosaur with wings huh?" Shiro said whilst craning her neck up to see the boss.
While she was marvelling at the boss, the trio behind her was in shock since they were making eye contact with the monster.
It was as if it was contemplating about how it should eat them.
"Welp. Let's clip its wings first." Shiro grinned.
*ClickSnapping her finger, a giant two fold magic circle expanded out from under the boss.
*BANG BANG!
Two giant hands made from ice shot upwards and grabbed the monster's wings.
Cracking sounds could be heard as the wings were being crushed.
"Don't just watch ok? Do feel free to attack." Shiro chuckled whilst looking over her shoulder.
"R-right. Let's go." Lyrica nodded.
While the duo dashed forward to attack the boss, Shiro stood near the back using her swords and glacial magic to support them.Silvia was speechless seeing the support Shiro was giving the duo. Even without them saying anything, she was able to protect them at the perfect moment along with parrying the monster with her ice so that an attack would miss.
'Wow…' She thought in awe.
"The key thing about being a support is observation." Shiro said, taking this moment to educate Silvia a little.
"While a normal party would have people calling out for support, by the time they call out, it would be too dangerous. Therefore, it's the healer's job to look at every party member and attend to them when needed.
"Plus, there should also be a sense of trust between the party and the support. The reason as to why the two of them don't call out for support is because they trust their backs to me. Unless they need something such as a blessing from you, they would focus on the boss." Shiro smiled.
Silvia nodded her head since she understood this fact. But for them to trust her so intently, it was something rarely seen.
'It must be because she has the power to back it up. She gives them a sense of safety…' Silvia thought to herself since that was what all healers should aim for. Giving their party a sense of safety.
Whilst providing support for the duo, Shiro smiled when she found an opening.
"Blessing." Shiro called out as a golden glow encased her body.
Raising up her right hand into the air, Shiro twisted her wrist and created a two fold magic circle. Her swords flew upwards and gathered in the centre with a dark purple aura around the blades.
Calamity's Will!
Corruption spread out from the blades which caused Silvia to pale.
Since she was a healer, she was more sensitive towards elements that erased life. However, even though she had come into contact with elements which caused her unease, she never felt anything as repulsive as what was being emitted from the swords right now.
The magic circle started to construct a glacial trident in which the swords started to embed themselves into.
The light blue colour of the ice suddenly turned dark purple.
"HAA!!!"
Swiping down her hand, Shiro gritted her teeth feeling the resistance from needing to control the trident.
However, before the trident could hit the boss, a blinding light covered their eyes.
*BANG!!!!!!
When they opened their eyes again, they saw Shiro's glacial trident embedded into the dungeon door.
Mutters could be heard around them as they looked around.
"Che, so the dungeon mutated huh? Who's the unlucky one." Shiro clicked her tongue and retrieved her swords.
[Self Made Skill Recognised. Awarding 200 free stat points.]
'Lucky.' Shiro thought with a smile.
As for Silvia, after hearing Shiro say the words 'Dungeon Mutated', her body shook slightly from the memory of their experience from the dungeon mutation.
"Is this what happens when the dungeon mutates and we're not the ones affected?" Lyrica asked.
"Yeah. When a dungeon mutates, anyone outside of the affected party is expelled out of the dungeon until either the party dies, conquers the dungeon or higher level adventurer's force the door open and rescue the affected party." Shiro shrugged.
"Huh, interesting. So what shall we do now?" Lyrica asked.
"Well we can either wait till the dungeon opens again or we can leave."
"Let's wait." Madison suggested since she wanted to tank against the boss a few more times to improve her technique.
"Alright." Shiro nodded. In the meantime, she was going to check out her new skill.
Since she didn't suggest a name, the system randomly generated one for her.
[Frozen Hell – Calamity Trident]
A corrupted spear that will eat away at anything it touches.

'Calamity Trident… Hmm, this is no doubt one of my strongest skills now. Frozen Slumber is an AOE while Calamity Trident is a single target. With these two, I have both crowd control and boss killers.' Shiro thought with a smile.
Since she had gained an additional 200 stat points, she allocated them all into her INT.

With her MP passing the 500k mark, she had unlocked the next skill of her Nanomancer class.
Shotgun Creation.
No doubt the weapon with the shortest range out of her arsenal but one of the most powerful.
Glancing at the requirements to use her Shotgun Creation, Shiro clicked her tongue since a single shotgun required 100k MP to create. Not only that, each shot took a minimum of 25k MP.
"Tsk, it seemed so cheap before as well." Shiro muttered in annoyance. When she was in her peak, 100k MP was nothing to her.
However, 100k right now was almost 20% of her total MP.
"Mn? What's cheap?" Lyrica asked curiously.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it." Shiro smiled and waved it off.
'I'll give the skill a try when I'm alone.' She thought to herself before browsing on her phone for any recent news.
Unfortunately, since the slums operation was so big, it dominated the news. With titles such as 'Slum factions eradicated' or 'Cairosa finally released from the cancer known as the slum factions', it was hard to find anything else worthwhile.
Shiro glanced up from her phone lazily and saw that they were level 60+'s.
"Ohya? Who's so privileged to have high level adventurers bust them out of the dungeon?" Shiro asked casually.
"Apparently it's a kid from the Argent Family. He was being level boosted by the Argent bodyguard." Someone replied.
"Thank you." Shiro smiled having gotten an answer.
"M-my pleasure." He blushed seeing her smile.
"If I remember correctly, the Argent Family is ranked 5 isn't it?" Madison asked sitting up.
"Argent Family. Rank 5, known for their family sword arts that are passed down to the main family members. Their sword arts, Crescent Moon Blade, allows them to fight with enemies higher level than them on even footing." Shiro recited from memory.
The group of 5 walked up to the dungeon door and nodded to each other.
*BOOOM!!!!!
A reddish gold aura exploded from their body as they pressed their palms against the dungeon door. Upon contact, the door let off a neon blue glow which shifted into the image of a three fold magic circle.
*PING!
The outermost ring broke apart as the party of 5 gritted their teeth.
"Only 2 more rings! Let's go!" The leader shouted out. The main family had offered them a fortune for saving the youngest son. If they failed, they would suffer quite a penalty. Not only from the Argent family but also the backlash from the dungeon.
*PING!
Breaking the second ring, 3 of the members were flung backwards with blood flowing out of their orifices.
"Hmm… Seems like their body couldn't handle the backlash." Shiro said whilst crouching down near one of the party members.
*PING!!!
With the last ring broken, the remaining two members collapsed on their knee's and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"B team… go in and rescue the target." The leader said weakly into the mic. He needed to have a moment's rest after suffering from the dungeon's backlash.
"Understood!"
Forcing the door open, a new group of 5 teleported into the dungeon.
"Well if we're lucky, it'll take less than an hour before we can continue." Shiro said whilst walking back to the trio.
"I guess we should get warmed up then." Madison said whilst looking around her. The other adventurer's warming up in preparation to re-enter the dungeon.
However, not long after they started to warm up, they heard a bunch of people shouting.
"What's the commotion?" Lyrica asked, stopping her stretch.
"Tsk tsk tsk, whoever is in there is unlucky." Shiro frowned.
"Why? What happened?"
"I don't know, but the doors changed to a raid door." Shiro narrowed her eyes at the dungeon door.
She could see the images morph around and eventually settled to one that most would see engraved onto a raid door.
"I believe this is called Emergency Raids." Silvia frowned.
"Emergency Raids?" Shiro raised an eyebrow. Once again, this was a new concept that was never in her world. There had always been mutated dungeons but never emergency raids.
"A rare occurrence where certain parameters are fulfilled to shift a dungeon into an emergency raid of the same genre. This dungeon is a dinosaur based dungeon meaning the emergency raid will be the same. A dinosaur type raid. However…"
"Since no one has entered before, they don't know how to beat this raid. Right?" Shiro frowned.
"Indeed. The worst part of this is that once the raid remains unconquered for a week, the monster's inside will break out. But once that happens, the monster's are always empowered and enraged. Seen as though this Emergency Raid is roughly level 60 to 65, only a few people inside the city will be able to kill them." Silvia shook her head.
"Well since that's the case, let's head back. We'll do another dungeon tomorrow." Shiro said nonchalantly and turned around.
"Eh?" Silvia was surprised at her actions.
"Makes sense. This isn't our problem to begin with." Lyrica shrugged.
"So what dungeon will we be doing tomorrow?" Madison asked.
"I'm thinking of another level 55 dungeon. Once we get the two of you to level 45, we can do the team trial I got. Sword Myth Springs." Shiro replied whilst glancing over her shoulders.
Seeing their carefree attitude of the serious situation, Silvia couldn't help tilt her head.
"Hais, I can already tell what you want ask and the answer is we don't care. A: The dungeon/raid is now 20 levels higher than us meaning we can barely do anything against the monsters. B: Even if we can, why should we? It's not like we owe them our lives or something. Plus, we don't know what the raid contains. The chances of death are much higher. You can offer me all the benefits and riches in the world, but this miss here aint gonna risk my life for someone I don't even know." Shiro rolled her eyes.
Silvia paused since it was logical. No one would risk their lives for people they didn't know. Not only that, the monsters were 20 levels higher than them. It was suicide to try to help.
"You know… I think most people would at least act concerned before walking away right?" Silvia asked with a slight twitch on her mouth.
"Why would we act? It's not like we're performing a live action film." Shiro rolled her eyes.
"Now come on. We're leaving before this place gets too crowded. With how each of the families are, they might compete to see who's going to get first clear for the raid." Shiro continued with a shrug of her shoulders.
While she didn't know about Emergency raids, she did know about the first clear rewards for raids. There is apparently a guaranteed high level item that will put even top tier purple grade items to shame.
However, the dangers of a first clear are apparent.
'If I guess right, the families would send out bounties to hire adventurers. Shame I'm not high enough level.' Shiro thought with regret.
