Chapter 564 Difference Of Tiers

Before the four could even attack, the Guardian's ribcage extended out and pieced towards them.

Since she knew that she could not block the attack at all, or else she'd take critical damage, Shiro twisted her body and barely dodged the spike by the skin of her teeth.

As for Yin, she dived into her shadow in order to dodge the ribcage.

Appearing behind the Guardian's shadow, she slammed her hands into his back.

*BOOM!!!!

Releasing a torrent of phoenix fire, a pillar of flames enveloped the Guardian's body.

"Weak flames." The Guardians scoffed as his spine stabbed towards Yin.

Seeing this, Estrella flicked her arm, forcefully bringing Yin into her realm and stopped the spine from damaging her.

Just as this happened, Nan Tian arrived in front of the Guardian.

Swiping his hand, the orbs that floated around him shifted into spikes that pierced into his body and attempted to stab him into the group only for it to shatter upon impact.

'Tch, so this is the difference between tier 5 and tier 6 huh? No wonder Shiro said that we had no chance.' Nan Tian thought with a frown.

Twisting his body, he activated a few of his berserk skills so that his stats could experience a huge boost.

Stomping down, a tier 5 magic circle expanded beneath the Guardian as a light cage started to wrap around the Guardian.

With his movements slightly hindered, Shiro appeared above the Guardian with her sword drawn. Right now, she had her berserk skills activated. Her Soul Sword was in her left hand while Athera was in her right.

Twisting her body, she slashed towards his head with the Soul Sword. As long as it hits, she can start to apply the first effect of her Soul Sword.

One slice against the skin will inject a lethal poison into their system while their soul is slowly corrupted. While she didn't know how high his poison resistance was, the additional effect of corrupting his soul should hinder his movements.

As for the second effect, she doubted that it would work. After all, as long as she stabbed him in the heart, she could seal away his soul into her sword so that her next attack was empowered.

*CLANG!!!

Once again, her sword bounced off the body of the Guardian as it didn't even leave a single scratch.

'Damn! Even with my berserk skills activated, it doesn't work?' Shiro thought with a frown.

Activating her Celestial Empress's Domain, she received a boost of 30% to her INT, AGI and DEX while her elemental damage was increased by 200%.

Enhancing Athera with Cosmic Ice, she swung at him once more but this time with the goal of freezing him in place.

*PING!!!!

Unfortunately, the thin layer of ice that slowly formed on his body was shrugged off without any problems.

"This is boring. You can just die if you're not going to show me fear." The Guardian narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, a giant tier 6 magic circle erupted out from beneath him as Shiro felt the danger of death, inching closer to her.

Without her command, Estrella was about to summon more portals when a sharpened bone shot out of the ground and pierced a hole in her stomach.

"ARG!" Crying out in pain, Estrella's spell was cancelled out as blood poured out of her abdomen.

Quickly activating Grace and Life Fire on Estrella, Shiro thought about what she could do to harm the Guardian since none of her attacks were working.

Glancing towards Nan Tian, she bit the bottom of her lip before opening her mouth.

"Lil' Tian, do you trust me?" She asked with a soft smile.

"Of course." Nan Tian nodded while trying to avoid the bone spikes that are trying to pierce him as well.

"Then study this properly while I buy some time." Shiro said as she threw over a tablet of sorts before activating all of her berserk skills.

Forcing Iziuel and Attie out of her mana realm, she grabbed the Guardian's head while ignoring all of his attacks and dragged him into the Celestial Gardens.

"You're coming with me!" She shouted out with anger. His spine had already pierced parts of her body and one nearly hit her head but she was casting all of her healing spells just to stay alive.

"SHIRO!!!" Nan Tian shouted out in shock since Shiro was now alone with the Guardian in her throne world.

Gritting his teeth, he quickly grabbed the tablet since there must have been a reason for Shiro to do this.

After all, she did ask him if he trusted her.

Opening the tablet, hundreds of records filled the screen as study after study of information piled up in front of him.

Her experiences that led up to become a tier 6 legend, what she did while she was a tier 6 legend along with the record of her fights. Everything she knew was inserted into the tablet.

Realising it to be information about the next tier of magic and the concepts behind being a tier 6 legend, Nan Tian understood that Shiro wanted him to achieve the feat of crafting a powerful spell so that they could potentially kill the Guardian.

However, with this much information presented in front of him, it was a gamble on whether or not he could actually learn it all and do something with this information.

"Damn! Iziuel! Estrella! Yin! Help me write down this information on the ground! We need to work quick since Shiro's in danger!" Nan Tian shouted out as his mind was filled with panic right now.

If he didn't succeed in achieving a tier 6 magic circle, Shiro's efforts would be wasted.

###

Standing in the Celestial Garden's with blood pouring out of her body, Shiro had a soft smile on her face.

"Are you suicidal?" The Guardian narrowed his eyes.

"Perhaps. But I know I can't deal the final blow to you so I'm trusting it to Lil' Tian." Shiro chuckled.

"It would go to waste if I kill you now."

"Depends. I'm quite tenacious if I have to say so myself." Shiro chuckled.

"Hm. Overconfident. I don't think you quite understand the difference between you and me. Tier 6 is a new realm altogether." The Guardian said while glancing around this strange world. The large statues seemed to be there for decoration but he couldn't help but feel as though there were something more to this.

"Oh don't worry, I know fully well what a tier 6 legend can achieve. However, all my enemy's know that I'm quite unkillable with how many healing spells I have." Shiro smiled. However, it was a bluff. She had already used her Rejuvenation so that was out of the picture. Her Grace skill had 8 charges left and she was still able to use her Lire+ rune which is equal to a charge of Grace. In addition to this, she still had the Miracle skill which she extracted from Aekari.

Unfortunately, despite all of this, the Guardian would only need 10 or so attacks to kill her for good.

Cracking his head, the Guardian looked at her with disinterest before swiping his hand.

*PUCHI!!!!

Suddenly, claw marks appeared on her torso as her body was cleaved in half.

Coughing up blood, she quickly activated her Grace skill and her body started to mend itself back together.

"Hm… Your trick is quite interesting." The Guardian smiled as he could finally see some semblance of fear in Shiro's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Shiro braced herself for the beatdown of her life.

"URAHHH!!!!" Readying her swords, she started to stack more berserk skills onto her body as she could feel her bones cracking once more. However, with her healing skills supporting her life right now, she could hopefully give the Guardian a run for his money. Which was unlikely but there was nothing else Shiro could do at this point.

Activating Hollow Deceit, her clones started to charge towards the Guardian as she did the same to camouflage her location. However, the Guardian only snickered and allowed all of the clones to strike at him.

Since they weren't doppelgangers with their own combat potential, their attacks phased through his body while Shiro's sword barely managed to make a small chip on his sin despite all her buffs.

Creating a portal under her, she quickly jumped in before reappearing in the air.

Pushing her hands out, hundreds of cannons were created within her Celestial Gardens as she aimed it at the Guardian.

*BOOM!!!!!!

Firing all of the cannons, Shiro took this chance to grab her Soul Sword and cut her palm in order to activate the second effect.

Slice it on yourself and all of your positive emotions will be locked away. Leaving the perfect killing machine behind for a short while in order to eradicate your enemies.

Slowly, a black mark materialised on Shiro's arm as her eyes became cold. Right now, she needed maximum efficiency in order to buy as much time as she could.
