Chapter 675 Floating Island

*RUMBLE!!!!!

Feeling her room shake, Shiro snapped her eyes open and sat up.

Looking around her, she saw that she wasn’t being attacked and yawned.

Cracking her neck, she took a deep breath and yawned.

"What the hell is going on so early in the morning?" Shiro muttered and glanced out the window.

Furrowing her brows, she blinked a few times just to make sure she wasn’t hallucinating.

". . . Why the hell is the town flying??????" She widened her eyes in confusion and dashed out of the inn.

Running to the edge of the town, Shiro could see the ground getting further and further away.

Looking around her, she could see the faces of concern as the townsfolk were holding onto each other. Some of them looked a little pale while others sighed.

"Excuse me? Do you know what’s happening?" Shiro ran over to one of the more composed townsfolk. He was a man who seemed to be stacking up the years as wrinkles could be seen around his face. His hair seemed like it used to be black but now it was ash grey.

"This place is becoming one of the islands and new air tunnels will be formed in a few weeks time. During this, we’ll need to survive on what food we have and hope that people will come assist us soon. However, monsters will overrun this place soon." The man sighed.

"Wait what? What do you mean monsters will overrun this place soon?" Shiro tilted her head in confusion.

"It means that this place will become a nest once they discover that a new island has appeared. They’ll be fighting over this new territory as the other floating islands have already been claimed." The man shook his head and started to walk back to his home.

Hearing that more monsters will be appearing here and that they’ll be fighting over this territory, Shiro frowned.

If she was powerful like she was on earth, she wouldn’t mind staying back and helping these people out but she could barely save herself with this fractured arm never mind others.

"Sorry, as much as I would like to save you all, I’m not sticking around. I got sh*t to do!" Shiro muttered.

Taking a few steps back, Shiro waited for a moment before breaking into a sprint.

Naturally, this wasn’t because she was suicidal but rather she wanted to wait for the right moment so that she could land in one of the air tunnels.

If the island was too low, she wouldn’t be able to cover enough distance to reach the air tunnel that she had used before. But if it was too high, the wind could easily knock her off course so she had to be careful. But it was still better than sticking around and waiting for the monsters to eat her like a morning snack.

Shielding her face slightly from the wind, Shiro found the air tunnel that she had used and started to adjust her body accordingly.

Bringing up some calculations in her mind, she figured that she had a 80% chance of survival if she landed in the tunnel properly.

She needed to go against the flow of the tunnel so that the air could dampen her speed of descent otherwise she’ll fall straight through and die. But with her calculations, there was no problem.

Narrowing her eyes, she waited at the last moment before shifting her body.

Crashing into the air tunnel like a bullet, Shiro felt the air push against her momentum which made her body feel like it was about to collapse.

Ignoring the feeling, she focused on adjusting herself so that she could land on the ground properly without rolling across it.

Allowing the air to push her towards the ground, she landed without too much difficulty.

"Few... that worked out pretty nicely." Shiro smiled.

However, just as she said this, she heard something in the distance and looked up.

Seeing a flock of large birds flying towards the island, Shiro knew things were looking bad.

"I’m sorry I can’t stay for long but if there’s one thing I can do, that’s help you drive off this first wave of monsters." Shiro glanced back at the island and sighed.

Summoning her bow, she saw down and started to shoot the birds out of the sky one by one. After the first wave was killed, she jogged over to collect their bodies. After all, it could be used for food later.

Each of the monsters were roughly the size of her arm and with how many she had killed, they should last her a while. The only problem left was transporting them with her.

Thinking about it for a moment, she reached into her bag and brought out the tendon rope that she used for traps a while ago and tied up the monster corpses.

Dragging the corpses behind her, she made her way towards the next air tunnel that she needed to go without looking back. After all, as cruel as it may be, the town was not her responsibility and she was probably going to die if she stuck around.

Shaking her head, she left the area.
