Shiro: The Secret Hero
116. Accident

Currently, Shiro and Brewthern were out of the teleportation circle of City P. Both of them rushed out from City P and headed towards the East very quickly.

Earlier, when Shiro and the Hero Association Chairman, Thomas Schven were discussing the matter of the Devil Race. Brewthern as one of his Assistants called the Association Chairman.

Brewthern explains that he got a call from a hero under his command who is currently in Gate near the city of P. The hero explains that they are in danger, and they are all besieged by the enemy and need help.

Hearing this, Brewthern directly contacted the Association Chairman to request reinforcements.

The Association Chairman agreed to it and it took time to mobilize the troops. Then the Association Chairman glanced at Shiro who was in front of him, "Can you help?"

Shiro was silent for a while, then he nodded in agreement. His hands were already itching to defeat the enemy.

The Association Chief smiled, then He replied to Brewthern, "It takes me about 30 minutes to gather reinforcements, but I have a Hero who might be able to help you to hold those monsters for a while."

Afterwards, the Association Chairman told Shiro to head to City A's Teleportation Gate and meet Brewthern who was there.

"But Chairman, both of my robes are broken at the moment, I don't have any robes or other costumes."

Chairman Asasiasi looked at Shiro's normal appearance using only the Men's Kimono, "Such an appearance doesn't matter really."

"But Chief, what if someone recognizes me?"

"It doesn't matter. After a few years, they must have forgotten your face and appearance."

"Huh... Alright," Shiro could only give up and approve the Association Chairman's remark.

"Please leave. The meeting will be held when you return."

"Ready, get it done."

Shiro then left the Office of the Association Chairman, not forgetting he brought some pieces of Steak that had not been eaten to be used as a snack during the trip.

Shiro then approached Brewthern who was at the teleportation Gate to be teleported to the nearest City where the Gate was located.

......................

Back to this moment.

Brewthern leads Shiro to Gate's location. But because of Shiro's speed is too fast, Shiro tried to slow his pace so that Brewthern did not miss.

As he continued to step up, Shiro glanced at Brewthern, "Tell me the condition of the Gate."

Brewthern nodded, He began to tell him what he knew about the Gate.

"We have previously sent Scout (reconnaissance) into the Gate. From the evidence that Scout got, we've come to a conclusion about the monsters inside the Gate."

"What monster?" ask Shiro.

"It's just an ordinary monster. But because of the large number, we also quite a lot of Hero power to complete the Gate. After all, the skeleton was very weak. But we didn't know there was going to be an accident like this."

From this explanation, Shiro knew that the decision was indeed very appropriate. But because there was an accident, there must be something strange in the previous investigation.

"Then, what happened to the Raid team while inside the Gate?" ask Shiro back.

"Initially they seem relaxed, they can easily settle enemies. They went in pretty deep too. When they are resting to recharge the energy. Waves of skeletons surrounded them. Got them cornered from all sides."

Shiro frowned, "Didn't that seem normal? Just beat them all and it's over."

Brewthern shook his head, "They thought so at first. But this time, the Skeleton that had been defeated, slowly rose back up like it was endless. This made them desperate and decided to ask for help."

If the enemy always comes constantly, they will not be able to rest or replenish their lost energy.

Suddenly Shiro seemed to be thinking of some awkwardness, he asked Brewthern again: "What about the Crystal Core of the Skeletons?"

"That's what we don't know, they initially underestimated the Crystal Core of that weak Skeleton. But then they learned that the Skeletons in front of them did not have a Crystal Core. They tried to kill those Skeletons in various ways, but they would not die and their Crystal Core would not be found."

Hearing this, Shiro frowned is confusion. As we know, every monster, whether small, big, strong, or weak, must have a Crystal Core.

If the Crystal Core was not found on a Skeleton monster, it meant that there was a problem with the Skeleton monster's body.

Shiro then recalled the fantasy creatures that were in various stories or mythologies in his previous life.

An evil being between life and death who can control the Soul of someone who has died. Creatures that can make the souls of the dead, resurrected.

That thing is a lich.

"Yes, if Devils alone exist, Lich is also likely to appear in this world sooner or later," Shiro thought.

Then Shiro looked at Brewthern, "It seems I know what the problem is."

"What ? "

"The real monsters aren't the Skeletons, but rather the beings who control the Skeletons."

Shiro did not directly tell Brewthern about Lich. Because he is also not completely sure of his opinion. It could have been another creature, or indeed a Lich, but with a different name.

"Controller huh? It's possible that's true" Brewthern also agrees with Shiro's view.

"You know, they might be in danger. Those Skeleton controllers might just want to consume our Heroes just by taking out weak monsters like Skeletons," Brewthern added.

"You're right, once the Raid heroes are exhausted, they'll probably summon stronger monsters to defeat those heroes."

"Yes, you're right. We need to hurry up and tell Central Headquarters as soon as possible" Brewthern said.

"Mr Brewthern, is the distance to the Gate still far ?"

"Nothing ahead, just a few kilometers away," points Brewthern.

"You know, let me hurry to save them. You call Headquarters immediately" Shiro said.

"But you're alone, you won't be able to stop it alone, we better go together" Brewthern said.

"It's okay, I'm stronger than you can imagine."

After that Shiro immediately darted off galloping towards the direction Brewthern had pointed at earlier. Leaving Brewthern who was dumbfounded at the moment.

Brewthern was stunned to see Shrio's burst of speed surpassing his cognition. Even according to him, the speed-type hero was not even as fast as Shiro.

Brewthern could only watch Shiro's departure begin to disappear from his sight. Then he sighed softly then contacted the Hero Association Chief and told him his guess and Shiro earlier.

Otherside.

Shiro continued to run at full speed, and he began to feel the Aura Gate from his perception. Slowly Shiro began to approach the Gate which was still blue.

Without further ado or hesitation, Shiro entered the Gate at a definite step.
