*Gururururu~

The sound of marching could be heard as the puppets slowly walked out of the gates.

Looking at the puppets, Shiro pulled forwards her hood.

*KSH KSH KSH

The puppets readied their weapon and charged towards her.

'Fast!' Shiro thought with a frown.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom – Counter Weight Phantom.

Crouching down, she grabbed one of the spears a puppet held and pulled it towards her.

*BANG!

Slamming her palm into the puppet's torso, Shiro sent it crashing back with all of the momentum it carried.

Quickly bending backwards, Shiro avoided a swipe from another puppet.

Looking around her, she saw several chances to counter the puppets attack.

She narrowed her eyes before trapping one of the spears between her calf and thigh. Flipping her body whilst using the staff as a base, she kicked the puppet in the face.

*BAN BAN BAN!

With a single twirl of the spear, she slapped the incoming spears away.

'I need a little bit of space.' Shiro thought quickly.

Gathering mana at the tip of the spear, she slammed it into the ground.

*CRRRR!!!!

Ice spread out with her in the centre and froze the puppet's legs. Whilst this was happening, Shiro was already thinking two steps ahead. Freezing up a blade on the edge of the spear, Shiro kicked the body of the spear whilst holding the pommel.

The force caused the spear to swing in a wide arch. Making sure to amplify the speed, Shiro twisted her body to increase the momentum.

*BANG!

The spear broke halfway through the attack causing Shiro to curse in her mind.

With the sudden gap in defence, the puppets charged at her with increased vigour.

"Tsk." Shiro clicked her tongue seeing this predicament. Gathering mana into her palm, she slammed a ball of lightning into the ground.

*BZZZZ!!!!

The lightning travelled through the ice and into the body of the puppets.

While they were still shocked, Shiro made a handful of ice daggers.

She jumped up and twisted her body horizontally whilst simultaneously throwing the daggers.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Colliding accurately with the head of the puppets, the sudden explosion of the daggers sent them stumbling backwards.

Landing back on the ground, Shiro wasn't happy that the puppets were set in a way that was harder for her to take advantage of their large numbers. They were spread out just far enough so that they weren't interfering with each other while also being just close enough to attack her at the same time.

'Since that's the case, this missy will come to you!'

Dashing towards the group of puppets, Shiro tilted her head and avoided the staff whistling towards her face. Pulling on the staff, she tripped the puppet over before using it as a shield.

*DUN DUN!

Blocking the staff attacks, she flipped the puppet over her before grabbing the two staffs. Lifting her body up, she kicked both puppets in the face before backflipping.

Whilst she was in the air, her mind scanned the entire battlefield and planned a few steps ahead.

Crouching down the moment she landed, Shiro aimed both palms outwards as ice spears shot out and pierced the head of the puppets.

Rolling to the side, she avoided the attacks of new puppets that joined the fray.

Slamming her palms into the ground, she skewered all of the puppets and suspended them into the air.

Suddenly feeling danger behind her, Shiro turned around and hastily made an ice shield.

"Urg!" A muffled cry escaped her lips as the attack shattered the ice shield that she made quickly.

If it wasn't for the fact that she's predicting their movements and acting 2 steps ahead, she would have long been buried under their attacks. The speed of level 50's weren't something she could react to straight away. She had to plan and predict.

What happened then was a testament on how thin of a line she was currently stepping on. One mistake and she was almost eliminated.

Sliding across the ground, Shiro could already feel her tempo being interrupted.

Quickly jumping up, she made a small platform to stand on.

Taking a short break, she examined the arena.

However, she wasn't able to observe for long as the puppets started to throw their spears at her.

'Oh f*ck.' Shiro thought as she quickly dropped down from her platform.

Kicking off the wall, she avoided the mass of staffs waiting to attack her.

She landed on the ground and slid for a short moment before stopping. Leaving a small trail of ice, Shiro flicked her wrist as the ice expanded outwards.

Seeing her prep done, she grinned and flicked her wrist upwards.

Before the attack even hit, Lyrica and Nan Tian already knew what was going to happen.

*BANG BANG BANG!

Spears of ice pierced upwards, skewering the puppets and suspended them in mid-air.

For the people who were spectating her at that moment, the sight made them pucker their ass holes in fear.

With her attack, Shiro was able to have a brief moment of rest to regain her tempo. Watching the puppets fade, she knew the next wave was coming.

Waving her hand, Shiro set up a few traps scattered around the arena. These traps would help her control the crowd and limit the number of puppets that can attack her.

Within a few seconds, the next wave of puppets had already appeared and ready to attack Shiro.

Pulling a serious face, Shiro clasped her hands as ice jaws sprang up from the ground.

*BANG

As expected, the trap wasn't able to harm the puppets too much since they were able to block the jaws. However, the jaws had already played their part.

Dashing towards the crowd, Shiro made two ice swords and slashed at the puppets who were busy dealing with holding the jaws apart.

*BAM

The moment she killed the puppets, the jaw slammed shut due to the puppets not being able to hold it open.

Pivoting on her foot, she dodged the spears that attacked her from behind.

She had to make sure that she's always 2 steps ahead of the level 50 puppets or else she'll be eliminated easily.
