Chapter 41 - One Hit Kill: Murasame (2/2)
***
I look at my status slaw-jacked. What the hell happened here? Its difference between heaven and earth if you compare it to my previous status. ”What happened here?” I asked.
”Here, this was meant to live with it but I forgot,” Nagumo-san said as he gave me a letter.
'Seriously, how can you forget something this important?' I thought as I open the letter and a message enters my consciousness.
”Hello~ Little Shizu! It has not been so while~ anyway, how did you like my gift? All the things that you have gotten were attached with so when you unsheathe it, it will directly transfer to you. About any change in your body, that's because I change your energy and body structure when my consciousness left your body or to be exact, merged with yours. And yeah, you don't have to worry as, except you, no one will be able to unsheathe it. That's all, now you better not disappoint me and became the strongest hero! I will be taking you with me soon though! Goodbye~” with that the message ended. I don't know what to say. There are lots of things I want to ask. Like, how can he change someone's energy? How can he give skills to others? And from where did he got such an OP sword? But at the same time, because of what he said in the end, my heartbeat started to rise 'He said he will take me with him! Does that mean, a proposal?!'
I smile gently. 'Thank you, Wang Lei. I WILL become the strongest swordswoman!'

'This is a volcano, huh' I thought as I looked at my front, at the Great Guren Labyrinth. I knew it would be but still hearing things and seeing them is two different matters. I sighed and started to walk towards it. Others didn't come with me since I am going to clear it in one scoop with no fighting or anything. I thought they would come with me but those traitors stayed behind so they could play with my cute Myu, unforgivable! I want to play with her too!
As I was thinking about Myu, I reached the entrance of the labyrinth. With one step inside and I was greeted with intense heat. I don't know about others but I don't like hot weather. The best weather has to be mild or winter, not the heavy one where everything is covered in snow that just coming out becomes difficult—though I would still prefer that over hot weather—but the one where it is snowing but not too heavy. In short, I like snow. The moment when steam(?) comes out of your mouth when your breath out in winter looks cool.
Taking a deep breath, I released my senses to maximum, covering the whole labyrinth. It was 50 level labyrinth filled with nothing but lava and lava based monsters. Ignoring the monster that was about to attack me I used my Ice Arts.
And with that, the whole labyrinth with its inhabitation monsters became a freezing hell. Nothing was left. May it be lava or the monsters though it will return to normal after a certain time.
If I had used only the DF—Devil Fruit—then I wouldn't have been able to freeze this labyrinth completely since the lava or everything here was made with mana. But because I merged it with Frozen End Divine Arts and created a new art, at the level of Creation God. It made it possible for me to freeze even the energies which were a great boost to it.
I started to walk towards the end of the now-frozen labyrinth. On my way, I saw a different type of monsters that would make a person run for their lives, frozen. Though I have to say that they looked quite beautiful.
After walking for about 2 hours, I reached the end of the labyrinth—50th floor. Before on this floor, it was sea only filled with lava with an island at the center of it that was circled by six giant pillars around it and a huge straight structure in the center of it.
But now it had become a beautiful white landscape with snow falling; portraying a gorgeous and attractive picture. I wonder if I could skate here.
Reaching the center of the floor, on the island. I walked into the biggest structure or a pillar-like building whose door opened automatically when I closed to it.
Inside was a dark room with only a magic circle at the center of it. Looking at the magic circle and copying it, I walked on it and obtained my third ancient 'God's Magic'.
Listening to the same voice I hear whenever I obtain new magic, I open a gate to and enters it; leaving the labyrinth.

”What do you mean she died? Heroes shouldn't be strong enough to kill her and I have even given her my special monsters!” Freid said to the demon servant who was kneeling in front of him.
”We don't know but when Cattleya-sama ordered to kill the Heroes, one of the heroes suddenly started to act strangely as if she was possessed by a different personality. After that, she killed every single monster that Freid-sama has given her. When she became exhausted, out of nowhere, the boy that defeated and fought with the monsters at the Town of Ur came and killed her.” The servant said everything that he received from the last transmission from Cattleya before she died.
Freid who heads his report had an ugly face. He thought that heroes were just pebbles in his way that could be thrown away anytime but it seems that he was too arrogant because he got one of the Ancient Magic. 'I need to make my planes faster! Or I would never know—with how things are going—whether we can win the war. From the description of the battle at the Town of Ur, every person in that group certainly possesses one Ancient Magic, at least. I need to hurry and should get other Ancient Magic's before Heroes acquire it. Every enemy of our God shall be killed!' Fried thought as he formulated his next plan.
”Call her husband, I will give my condolence to him personally. I also vow to kill that filthy human who killed out brethren!” Freid said to the servant who was in awe hearing him. Giving a respectful salute, he leaves the room.
Freid looked out the window, towards the demon city. 'Heroes and a group of Monsters from which only one person is known, Fiercest... I need more information about them.'

”Papa!” Just as Wang Lei entered , he heard Myu calling him. He looked in the direction of the mansion and saw her running towards him with her tinny legs. 'Ho~, you are approaching me?' Wang Lei though when he shook his head. 'What the hell I am thinking?'
He opened his arms when Myu jumped at him. catching her, he kissed on the cheek and asked, ”Did Myu missed me?”
Myu who heard him nodded while smiling cheerily, ”Um, Myu missed Papa!”
Hearing her Wang Lei smiled and pats her head. He started to walk towards the mansion's garden where he can feel everyone's presence. On his way, he greets the member of Haulia Tribes that—he didn't know when—became maids serving in his mansion.
He asked Qingyue and Yue about it and found out that they wanted to be helpful to him. For that, they trained to become stronger while the women of the tribe also volunteered to become maids.
Wang Lei, when heard them, just shrugged his shoulders. As long as they were not causing any problems then he didn't care what they did.
Reaching the garden, he saw everyone having a tea party. His brow twitched seeing them enjoying while he had to go and clear the labyrinth.
He went a sitting one when of the chairs while greeting everyone. He placed Myu on his ŀȧp when a maid came and served him a tea. Thanking the maid, he started to drink it.
”How was it, Lei Lei?” Miledi asked.
Nodding while feeding Myu some cakes he said, ”Hm, cleared. It hasn't taken much time just as I said. I will create a magic circle soon so you guy can get it too.”
Other hearing him nodded. Yue and Qingyue were excited as they were a magician and both of them knew how powerful was.
”Where are we going from here?” Yue asked while taking a bite from a cake that she took a special liking too. She has eaten cakes before when she was the princess but they were not this tasty.
Wang Lei smiled and said, ”We will be breaking into groups from here as Qingyue and Yue will go to Garland at the Frost Caverns of Schnee to obtain the Ancient Magic from there and also copying the magic circle with the magic device I will give you. While Miledi and Shea with Haulia Tribes will go to Haltina Labyrinth at Sea of Trees. And I, Myu, and Tio will go to Erisen.”
Other hearing him nodded. They were not worried about each other as they could easily teleport back to when they needed it.
