Chapter 864 First Night on Asharia

Taking a deep breath, Shiina sprang to action and slashed towards Shiro which was parried with ease.

"Final surprise attacks are good but just flailing your sword is a waste. Even in your last moment, don’t forget to think about your options. Don’t become a mindless person who just swung a sword because it’s the first thing they could get their hands on." Shiro said as she let go of the blade.

Flexing her fingers, green fire wrapped around their body as their wounds were healed up in an instant.

Teleporting Oran in front of her, he was surprised to see all of his wounds disappear in an instant.

"Let’s see... first we’ll start with Oran I guess. You did well in giving your ally’s a speed buff and using your magic to propel then was also a good move on your end. However, after that, your participation was limited so you’ll need to work on your follow up. In most fights, it doesn’t end with that first attack so make sure you can continue to support your allies." Shiro explained as Oran nodded his head.

He couldn’t help but feel a little down since like Shiro said, he barely helped after the first attack.

"Next is Shiina. You did well in supporting Akhess during your attack. Your use of ice was good and the first move of restraining my movements were perfect. There is just one problem though, you don’t take the initiative when using your spells. You let your allies attack first. When the blood was being fuelled into the pillars, why didn’t you take that chance to attack me? That kind of delay is dangerous and could prevent you from claiming victory."

Staying silent, Shiina contemplated what Shiro had said. It was true that she hesitated since she knew that she couldn’t beat Shiro on her own. That’s why she wanted to wait for her allies to attack before supporting them.

"Last is Akhess. You were able to synergise well with Shiina by using both ice and blood together. As for your combat senses, they’re low right now but they’ll get better the more you fight. The main thing is the use of your poison near the end. Strong people will have strong regeneration. The fact that you aimed for making tiny cuts may work on lower levelled people but would be less effective for those higher levelled. While poison may not work on me due to my high resistances, it is a powerful tool that can help you win even if you can’t harm them physically since the poison will harm them from the inside. Though that is dependent on the strength of the poison.

"All in all, the three of you performed pretty well, and all that’s missing is fighting experience. Of course my expectations for you were a little higher than this since there was much more you could have done with the tools that you were given but it doesn’t mean I’m giving up on you. I’ll give you another test in the future but for now, take this, it’s a slightly more advanced copy of the manual that I gave you." Shiro said as she handed them each a book and a cylindrical object.

"What is this object?" Shiina asked curiously.

"Remember the chambers that I made for you, this will recreate that for you but there is a limited amount of uses so make sure you make every use count. Of course, you can use it all at once if you are able to keep up the concentration but I don’t recommend it." Shiro smiled as the three nodded their heads.

"Alright you can go back to the training ground now. Also, I do hope that you don’t show the contents of the book to those who have not earned the rights ok?" Shiro smiled.

What she didn’t tell them was that she’ll know the moment they share the contents or try to trace it down since there is a sensor that will send her a signal if they do.

Watching the three leave, Shiro massaged her neck.

"How come it was just temporary? Knowing you, it could have been permanent so that they could take advantage of the amount of mana on Astral Horizon’s." Nan Tian asked curiously.

"If I made it permanent, they might get lazy. Having it so that it’s limited will make them work harder so that they can get it again next time I test them." Shiro replied while swiping up with her hand. A giant holographic screen appeared in front of her as it was something similar to the command centre.

"Let’s see... I’ll activate the camouflage for now and increase our altitude. The demons are getting a bit restless and a few are trying to approach in order to investigate this place." Shiro muttered while tapping the screen a few times. As the city disappeared into the sky, Shiro activated a few other defensive systems before dismissing the screen.

"Right then, shall we head back then? The main goal of today was to visit the military and see if there was anyone who was talented. I’ve already allocated their rewards so that when they go back, they should receive a package with their new privileges. The main goal for tomorrow is to visit the hospitals and schools and see how they’re faring." Shiro smiled as Nan Tian nodded his head.

As the two made their way out of the base, they walked through the shopping district. Naturally, to enjoy it as ’normally’ as possible, they activated disguise so that they could see what would happen when the ruler isn’t around in person.

Thankfully, the city seemed to be running normally as there were no scandalous activities in shops or bad pricing which made Shiro sigh in relief since a city of this scale was a first for her.

Previously, her main goal for a flying fortress would be to just focus on fighting as that was the only reason she would even make it. Sometimes she might add a house or two for her own comfort but that was it. This time, she had to migrate the spirit race here and make sure that living here was no different from the other cities or even better since she has the advantage of technology.

Thinking about technology, Shiro turned to Nan Tian.

"Do you think I should introduce more of the things from Aria here? If this becomes a technologically advanced city, more options should open up for the civilians." Shiro asked as Nan Tian shook his head.

"Maybe but that might be a bad idea considering that they have no obligation to stay here and could share information easily. Sure you can control the information with your nanobots but doing so would be no different to a dictatorship. Of course, I also understand that most of the people here are spirits and that you are their queen but you never know. It’s better to be safe than sorry and having too much power, technology and so on can bring severe consequences." Nan Tian shook his head as Shiro sighed and nodded her head.

She also understood but a part of her wanted to share this treasure trove of knowledge.

’What a shame, I have all this knowledge but can’t share it without the chance of people misusing it.’ Shiro thought with a shake of her head.

{That’s just how it is. A real shame isn’t it? Some of the things that you can add are quite handy too.} Nimue sighed as Shiro nodded her head.

Exploring around for a little longer, Shiro eventually arrived back at the main tower. Saying goodbye to Nan Tian for the night, Shiro returned to her own room and sat down in front of the table. Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro was tempted to go for a drink. Surely she wouldn’t destroy her own tower right?

{Shiro... Don’t even think about it. Just stick with juice.} Nimue sighed.

’It’s just a cider. It’s pretty much juice. Plus, you saw how much it took to get me drunk last time, it’ll be fine.’ Shiro pouted slightly since the ciders were quite tasty.

{You wouldn’t even know when you became drunk. Last time you thought you were fine but the moment you tried to stand up, something clicked and the house was destroyed.} Nimue lectured as Shiro sighed.

’Fine, I’ll stick with juice then.’ Shiro pulled out some juice from her inventory and started to work on maintaining the city along with adding new things from her room. Once she was done, she summoned Attie and slept with him on the same bed.

This was the first night she spent on Asharia
