Chapter 390 Issuing An A rank Emergency

After calming down, Keiko bid Shiro farewell for now.

Watching Shiro disappear from the room, Keiko instantly realised that she had used a dimension type skill.

"Damn, with her skill set, are you sure she’s a mage?" Keiko asked with a raised eyebrow since she hadn’t seen Shiro use a magic spell yet.

"Yes she is. Though I think she leans more towards the physical side of things." Lisandra replied with a shrug.

"In that case then since you’re a physical class, do you lean more towards the magical side of things then?"

"*cough* Not exactly. Mum’s just a little... unconventional. I’m just a fighter based person with a few skills to buff myself and the people around me." Lisandra replied with a slight smile.

"Ah I see... also, your mum said that you’re interested in things to do with fighting. I can show you to our training room and you can have some spars with our members. But first, we need to figure out what you call me. Since you’re my cousin’s daughter, do you call me aunty or something else... Hm..." Keiko wondered.

"Well whatever. Just call me aunty anyways." Keiko smiled.

"Mn, alright aunty." Lisandra nodded her head.

"Anyways, come with me, I’ll show you the way to the training rooms." Keiko stood up and led Lisandra out of the room.

While this was happening, Shiro was dashing through the city while flickering in and out of her rift.

Her task was to decipher the magic circles and report what she could see from them.

There was the option of capturing everything she could see but they don’t know if any spies had made it into the meeting since at this point, everyone is a potential spy.

Vaulting over the gates with ease, Shiro landed softly inside the shrine. Activating her Analysis skill, she started to examine what kind of spells were being prepared.

Scanning through each of the magic circles, Shiro couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.

’Should the spell be broken or activated, it’ll drain power from everyone within a 200 meter radius in order to A, repair the spell or B, further empower the spell. For those that are closer than 100 meters, they’ll also be marked down as the ones who broke the spell so anything they do would in fact help the enemy.’ Shiro thought to herself with a frown.

’Damn... if we were to call for an evacuation, the enemy will immediately realise that the spell’s been deciphered.’

{Hmm... are you able to set out a drone or something at each of the shrines before calling for an evacuation? That way, you can at least try to minimise the affected targets. Even if they activate it sooner, you can still just have the drones break the spells.} Nimue suggested.

’It’s not that simple unfortunately. With how many spells circles are in just one shrine, it’s not something a drone can cancel out. Only if I’m on the scene will it be possible. However, even if I was to use everything I can to get around, I’ll only cancel around 2 to 3 shrines at best. That’s not even including the fact that the spell will drain the people around it in order to repair itself.’ Shiro shook her head.

{What should we do then?}

’Nothing. As annoying as it is, we can’t do anything just yet. I’ll go to the other shrines and see if I can find any differences.’ Shiro replied.

Stretching her body for a moment, Shiro left the area and made her way to the next shrine.

For the next two days, things were quite tense as more people became curious about the lockdown. Keiko had asked the staff to stay on hold for now until she figures out the best plan of action.

During this time, Shiro had reported all of her findings to Keiko which only brought her a second wave of headaches since this was serious. Even if she wants to trust her subordinates, a part of her knows that they may be spies and they should be careful.

Currently, Shiro was sitting in Keiko’s room with her legs crossed and sipping on a cup of juice.

"So all of them pretty much have the same effect then." Keiko asked.

"Yeah. I do have some magic cancelling things on me but there are too many spell circles for them to be effective enough." Shiro shook her head.

"Hmm... Perhaps we should just tell everyone and have them think of something. IF the worst comes to be, we can just gather the strongest people in the faction and fight the thing that is summoned." Keiko furrowed her brows.

While the real strongest members are out on the front lines, the guild is still filled with B class adventurers and some even A class. The only reason as to why she was here instead of the front lines was because she was waiting for Shiro as well as the fact that she had some doc.u.ments to handle to begin with. This was just one of her breaks that she’s taking from the front lines.

"I’d say give it another day. See if they make any moves before telling everyone. In the meantime, we might have to get some trusted people to prepare for evacuation." Shiro replied seriously.

"Mn. By the way, have you been able to determine what it’s trying to summon? Average level and the like?" Keiko asked as one can usually guess that kind of thing by examining the magic circle.

"Unfortunately, I don’t have that much proficiency in magic circles so I can’t say for sure. I only know that the lowest level monster that is being summoned is going to be level 100."

"Level 100... No, this can’t wait. The more we wait, the higher chances of casualties. Shiro, come with me, we’re going to help with the evacuation effort before destroying the shrines. Grab some high quality mana potions with you. I’ll get everyone that can teleport or transport a large number of people to help me evacuate people lower than level 100." Keiko ordered decisively.

"Sure." Shiro nodded her head.

With decisive actions, they can deal with the situation much quicker and contain the destruction.

"In that case then do you want me to destroy the shrines instead? My skill only allows me to access a second dimension and speeds my movement up. It doesn’t actually teleport." Shiro reminded.

"In that case then are you able to handle the destruction of more than 1,000 shrines?" Keiko asked as she was in full faction master mode.

Right now, she wanted truthful reports so that she can plan around them. She doesn’t want a ’I think I can do it’. No, she wants a ’I can do it guaranteed’ or ’I can take out this many shrines.’ That way, she could assign more people to help her.

"I can take care of all of them. Though the destruction that follows is a little troublesome since I’ll have to go full power in order to erase all of the magic circles."

"It’s alright, I’ll take care of all of that. There are bound to be people who are angry at the fact that we’ve destroyed their temple of worship but all we need to do is redirect that anger to the Black Monarchy since they’re the reason as to why we have to do this." Keiko replied.

"Sure. Let’s go then cousin." Shiro smiled and followed behind Keiko.

In the main hall, alarms were blaring as an A ranked emergency was being issued out. Shocked at the severity of the situation, the entire guild became tense as Keiko gathered everyone who could teleport/ transport people quickly and have them prepare for evacuation.

Informing everyone else of her findings and reasons as to why they’re making a sudden move, Keiko’s trusted subordinates all went to work immediately since they had a feeling that this was going to be the outcome.

They already have quite a few trusted members situated near the shrines so they can follow procedures and have everyone go at least 230 meters away from the shrine in order to avoid its effects.

Meanwhile, Shiro had situated herself at the top of the headquarters as this is the highest point in the city.

Her white hair fluttered in the wind since she had already removed her disguise. She needed as much mana as she can get as of this moment.

Looking up at the sky, Shiro saw that night was coming and it was a perfect opportunity. With the Star gazer’s bow, she was going to create the biggest and most powerful Area of Effect skill she could handle in order to destroy every single shrine in Tokyo, regardless of destruction caused.

After all, with Keiko’s permission, there’s nothing holding her back anymore...
