Chapter 114 Silvermoon Keep P1

Making her way to a clearing, she took out a silver key. This was the second reason as to why she was out today. The Silvermoon Keep.

The trial key of which she received after killing a monster known as the Trickster.

Pushing the key forwards, she made a twisting motion with her hands and a silver door appeared in front of her.

The surrounding adventurers weren’t fazed by this as Trial Key’s, whilst being uncommon, wasn’t exactly rare either.

Stepping through the door, Shiro found herself in a jail cell of sorts.

[Story Quest: Silvermoon Keep

You are a young mage that came at the behest of your master. The order was to help recover the Keep from the hands of a cult that wishes to revive a great evil that lay dormant on the moon. The key to releasing that evil was in the Silvermoon Keep.

However, on your journey, you were ambushed by the cult members and sold to slavers. Your current location is the dungeon of a noble that wishes to have his way with your body...]

’Mn, that’s a rather interesting start to a quest.’ Shiro thought with narrowed eyes.

Glancing around, she examined her surroundings in detail.

She had rusted chains connected to her legs and arms, even one on her neck. Cold tiles and hay are beneath her with several streaks of moonlight that would slip through the window and illuminate her jail cell.

An orange hue could be seen flickering pass the jail cell, showing her that a torch was nearby and that she was currently unguarded. This was due to the fact that there were no human shadows around from what she could see.

Naturally, there could still be guards nearby where their reflections couldn’t be seen.

Looking down, she saw that her clothes consisted of a ragged shirt, a long brown skirt and some knee-high boots.

’Well, at least I’m clothed and not on some love bed of a fat noble.’ She thought to herself as she glanced at her status board.

Everything was the same causing her to sigh in relief. Although, it seemed like she was only allowed to use her Snow Girl class. She had no access to any other element. She didn’t even have her Ascendant Dream weapon on her either.

Touching the cold metal cuffs that locked her wrist, Shiro tried to freeze them but realised that the cuffs were made to absorb mana.

Furrowing her brows, she stood up and peaked out of the barred window on the roof.

’From the looks of things, it should be almost midnight.’ Shiro thought to herself and patiently waited for someone to come. Since she wasn’t able to use her mana, she could still kill someone through physical strength.

"Oh my, well it seems like you’ve calmed down a lot more now. Stopped screaming?" A voice called over.

The owner of the voice was a tall blond-haired man. His wore a noble attire that made him look refined but couldn’t conceal the l.u.s.t in his eyes.

[Atticus LVL 50 – Noble Knight]

Shiro was surprised that it wasn’t a fat noble that wanted his way with her but instead, an above-average man. That being said, she still wasn’t going to let him touch her.

Shifting her gaze away, she ignored him.

"Mn, that’s it. Be stubborn, it’ll be more fun to break you that way." He grinned whilst opening the jail door.

Walking towards her step by step, he crouched down and grabbed her chin. Moving her head so that she looked at him, he was confused as to why it seemed like she was looking at a dead man. The disdain in her gaze made him furious.

However, before he could even voice his complaints, Shiro wrapped her leg around him and head-butted his nose as hard as she could.

*CRACK!

Breaking his nose, Shiro bit his hand and wrapped the chain around his neck.

"Wait what are you doing stop ARGG!!!" Atticus cried out in panic when he felt the chains around his neck.

*CRACK!!

Kicking his head and torso, Shiro also tightened her grip around the chains. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to decapitate him but the chains had instead, broken his neck.

Looking at the dead noble who had his head hanging weakly to the side, Shiro spat on his corpse in disdain.

"Is this missy’s body something trash like you can touch?" Shiro said with contempt.

Crouching in front of his body, Shiro quickly searched for some keys before the guards arrive. Since he had managed to shout before dying, the guards were bound to hear it.

Thankfully, Atticus had the keys to her retrains on him.

*CLANG CLANG CLANG!!

The heavy cuffs were unlocked with the key.

"Much better." She muttered whilst massaging her sore wrists. Due to the fact that the cuffs were rather heavy and that they absorbed mana, Shiro wasn’t able to use her full strength. Otherwise, the noble’s head would have been separated from his torso rather than just broken.

Searching his body for anything else she could use, Shiro frowned when she realised that he basically had nothing else of importance.

Not only that, she wasn’t able to [collect] his body either.

"I guess I can’t loot them since this is a trial. All rewards will be given at the end." She sighed and tried to store the cuffs away in her inventory.

Materials that could absorb mana and stop a mage from using their spells were rather rare. So if she was able to get this material and hand it over to Helion, she could make a weapon that could render mages useless. There would be a limit to the amount of mana it can absorb but a little help in suppressing an enemy mage was always welcome.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to store away this item either.

"Such a shame." Shiro said whilst kicking away the cuffs in frustration.

Suddenly, she could hear the sounds of guards running towards her location. With the sounds their movement made, she could guess that they were wearing heavy armour along with weapons.

’I should take care of them quickly or else it would only slow down my escape. My main task for this story quest is to recover the keep from the cultist’s and stop whatever they’re doing to try to revive a great evil.’ Shiro thought as she looked around for anything that she could use as a weapon.

Seeing that it was completely bare, she didn’t hesitate to start running towards a staircase that would hopefully take her outside.

"There she is!" Someone shouted out as Shiro could see three guards in front of her.

Scoffing slightly, she decided to test out her newly improved body strength.

*BANG!

Stepping down as hard as she could, she launched her body forwards and hit one of the guards with her knees.

This caused his armour to cave inwards while he widened his eyes in shock. Not only that, but the force of her knee had also collapsed his ribcage on itself and pierced all of his organs.

During this moment, she supported her body with her hands and kicked towards the lower jaw of the other two guards, demonstrating her great flexibility.

*CRACK CRACK!

Her kicks were able to easily break their necks as they fell down weakly.

Shiro didn’t know what level they were but she knew that the had to be low levelled for her to be able to deal this much damage.

Flipping her body forwards, she saw three more guards charging at her above the stairs.

"Ha... such a pain." Shiro muttered and tapped the walls with her fingers.

*KRRRR!!!

Ice coated the walls within a matter of moments.

*BANG BANG BANG!

Three ice spikes shot out from the ice and pierced the guard’s temples, killing them instantly.

Since the staircase in front of her was a spiral staircase, it would be more efficient if she ran along the walls so that she was able to have more room should she need to attack.

Dashing along the walls, Shiro made a handful of daggers and threw them at any incoming guards.

"ARG!"

"RET- ARH!"

"HELP!!!"

Sounds of the guards dying like flies could be heard as Shiro couldn’t be stopped at all. Jumping out the doors, she found herself surrounded in a training field.

"So the dungeon was literally next to the training fields huh." She muttered whilst looking at the small army of guards that surrounded her.

"For the murder of the guards of this household, DIE WITCH!" The leader shouted out.

The first row of guards dashed forwards while the back row charged up fire type spells.

"Freeze!" Shiro grinned and commanded.

Frozen Hell: Frozen Slumber!

Magic circles surrounded the field and instantly turned the place into an icy tundra.

Due to their low levels, Shiro was able to clasp her hands together with ease and in doing so, erasing their life with a single skill.

*CRACK!

The collective sounds of ice statues breaking could be heard as the previously filled up training grounds emptied out in mere seconds with only broken pieces of the guards laying around, proving the destruction that had ensued with a single activation of Frozen Slumber.

Crouching down, Shiro jumped backwards onto the battlements and glanced towards the surroundings, hoping to gain an understanding of where she was.

Shielding her face for a moment from the wind, Shiro saw that she was in a medieval city of sorts. Wooden houses laid in neat rows whilst the road was paved crudely with stone.

Naturally, not a single person was out due to the fact that it was deep into the night.

Shiro suspected it to be around midnight due to the position of the moon.

"Hmm... I’ll have to wait till sunrise before I can go scout out for any information." She muttered and jumped off the walls. Her white hair reflected the moonlight, causing it to be extremely eye-catching should anyone look towards her.

"Hmm... I should probably get a black robe or something to hide my appearance."

Landing softly on one of the houses, Shiro looked for a place to rest till sunrise.

’I need a place far from the palace since I killed the noble. Hmm... maybe... I should live in someone’s bas.e.m.e.nt?’ Shiro thought to herself in humour.

However, she knew that her best option would be either the sewers or back in the palace.

Contemplating to herself for a short moment, Shiro settled with the sewers. Looking around for a sewer entrance, Shiro frowned as she could smell the disgusting stench of the sewers.

"... Yeah well, f*ck that." Shiro then proceeded to break into an inn. Sneaking around the outside of the inn, Shiro climbed through the windows and rested her body on the roof beam of the building.

Shifting her body so that it was mostly out of sight, she closed her eyes and rested her body.

###

The next morning, Shiro sneaked out of the inn and made her way to what seemed to be a bar.

Naturally, since she didn’t have any money on her, she decided to use a little sleight of hand to get herself some funds for her travels.

The coins she managed to acquire were copper silver and gold in colour. Gold is the rarest with her just being able to find 3 coins after a whole morning of scouting.

On her way to the bar, she bought herself a large black robe that could hide most of her appearance leaving only her face exposed.

However, that wasn’t too much trouble.

Upon her arrival at the bar, a few people were entrapped by her beauty and couldn’t take their eyes off of her.

Releasing a sliver of killing intent, Shiro walked up to the counter.

"Are you able to tell me a little bit about this place and anything that has been going on?" Shiro asked with a smile.

The barman was stunned by her voice as it sounded rather young but very pleasing to the ear.

"Er- Ehem. How much do you want to know?" He asked with a slight cough and started to polish on of the cups.

"Everything. Down to the small details like the town name and any nearby towns." Shiro replied.

"Well you’ll need to order a drink for that. But since young miss is so beautiful, it’s on me." He smiled and handed her a drink.

"Hahaha, well I’ll have to thank you for saving me some money then." Shiro replied and took the drink.

Casting inspect on the drink, she felt her smile twitch for a moment.

[Ale]

A type of beer brewed using the warm fermentation method. Has a sweet and fruity taste. However, visually, it looks like piss. Who knows, could very well just be sweetened horse piss.

’Were the last two sentences needed?!’ Shiro thought in her mind and brought the ale to her lips.

Naturally, she wasn’t opposed to alcoholic drinks since her physique would just make the ale taste like plain water.

And as she had expected, it flowed down without taste.

The barman was shocked at her tolerance and the fact that the little lady in front of him had chugged a huge mug of ale down her throat like it was nothing.

*Bam

Slamming down the mug, Shiro smiled lightly and turned to the barman.

"Now then, tell me what you know."
