Shiro: The Secret Hero
120. The Relief Arrives

After the Lichs were defeated by Shiro, batches per batch of Skeletons began to fall. Everything seemed shrewd in its soul, not moving at all.

The Raid Heroes were initially confused, but then their expressions showed relief and happiness.

"Huh.had finally finished."

Unknowingly, they began to break down. Their struggle has finally paid off. They were finally able to rest after a long time of defending against the onslaught of attacks that continuously came to them.

In front of them at this moment, there was only a pile of bones strewn about and almost filled the entire valley.

Only Captain Ron himself was still standing, looking at the fog that had not disappeared. He remains ready and alert for all kinds of possibilities that might happen to them.

Then he looked at his colleagues who looked exhausted, "You please rest. But don't let your guard down, Gate's still not settled. The enemy can come at any time."

"Yes, Captain."

Hearing Ron's orders, they agreed. They began to replenish their wasted energy and Aura.

30 Minutes passed.

Their energy and Aura slowly began to recover. There were no disturbances or attacks from the Skeletons anymore.

Feeling safe, they prepared to leave the valley.

But just as they were about to leave, a group of humanoid shadows were seen from behind the thick Mist.

They all became alert, Ron immediately stood at the very front. Holding the Shield in his left hand and the Hammer Gada in his right hand, he was ready to fend off enemy attacks.

The shadow of the Mist slowly approached them. Ron and the others were already preparing for a frontal battle.

However, when the appearance of a shadow from behind the fog is seen. Ron and the others were instantly able to breathe a sigh of relief, they instantly loosened their defenses.

Because of the group of people who were in front of him they were a Group of Heroes from the Hero Association as reinforcements for them.

Seen, Brewthern and Anastasya are leading the Reinforcements. Ron, who recognized Brewthern, immediately greeted them.

"Mr Brewthern, Miss Anastasya, thank you for the Help."

Brewthern and Anastasya were initially confused, but they still nodded.

"Ron, what about you guys? Is it okay?" ask Brewthern.

"It's okay. They're all fine."

"Good."

Brewthern, Anastasya, and the other Hero of the Reinforcements, looked at the scattered bones.

Ron remained silent, although the reinforcements brought only 5 people besides Brewthern and Anastasya. But they are all S-rated.

In contrast to their team, despite being 20 people, there were only Ron and Rin who had an S rank. The rest are mostly A-rated and only 1-2 people are B-ranked.

Even so, Ron and the others were able to breathe a sigh of relief. With a total of 9 S-ranked people within the team, their safety was assured. It also showed the seriousness of the Hero Association in dealing with the Gate.

Suddenly Anastasya looked around in confusion, asking Ron and the others: "Where is Zero?"

Hearing Anastasya's question, Brewthern just realized Zero does not exist.

While Ron, his team and the reinforcements brought by Brewthern and Anastasya were confused by Anastasya's question.

"Zero's ? Who's Zero?" ron asked with a puzzled look.

Seeing the behavior of Ron and the others who did not seem to know about Zero. Anastasya and Brewthern frowned.

Then Brewthern began to briefly explain: "Zero was the first to enter the Gate first, probably about 30-50 minutes earlier than us. He's also the one who told us your location."

Ron scratched his head, he really did not know anything. Anastasya and Brewthern also seem to know that Ron doesn't know about it.

"Then, how did you guys solve all these monsters?" ask one of the Reinforcements that Anastasya and Brewthern brought.

Before Ron could answer, one of Ron's Assassins replied: "I managed to defeat the controllers of these monsters."

Yes, the Assassin is an Assassin who managed to take the Lich necklace by utilizing the Spectre skill.

But even so, Anastasya saw Ron's expression change.

"Ron, tell me what really happened" Anastasya said.

Then Ron pointed to Rhea, "Rhea locked onto one of the fleeing targets, but she said the target was dead. We we were you guys who helped us."

Hearing Ron's story, they all began to digest Ron's story, while the confessing Assassin looked embarrassed.

"Wait a minute, how do you know that these Skeleton Beings are controlled? We haven't told you about this yet" Brewthern said suspiciously.

"So you know they're being controlled?" ask Ron.

Brewthern, Anastasya and the Hero of the Reinforcements all nodded.

Then Ron tells them the problem that there is a Battle Pet coming to him carrying a letter about the real enemy complete with the weakness of the enemy.

"The Battle Pet you're talking about is the Shadow Mantis?" ask Anastasya.

Ron nodded.

"That's Zero. It is likely that he also defeated the other Skeleton controllers" Anastasya said.

"Where is this guy named Zero now?" ask Ron.

Anastasya shook his head, "But given his fighting behavior alone. Maybe he's now already headed to the Boss monster's place."

"Is that okay, Boss?" ask one of the Hero reinforcements.

"Eitherway. His true strength no one knew. But the Chairman of the Association trusted him very much" Brewthern replied.

"So who's Boss that guy's name?"

"Name Zero. Oh yeah, he's also often referred to as Shadow" Brewthern said.

"Shadow ? That shadow?"

Brewthern and Anastasya nodded.

BAAAAANGGG~

BAAAAANGGG~

BAAAAANGGG~

Several large explosions suddenly sounded. The valleys and mountains they were in were shaking.

"earthquake ? no. gabe. It's like someone's fight."

"Could it be Zero who was talked about earlier who is fighting now?"

"But given the explosion of power and the resulting shock, it was likely that the enemy he was facing was a monster Boss."

Hearing the analysis, made them excited. Especially the Hero of reinforcements, they were eager to fight against a powerful enemy.

"Come, what are you waiting for ?" bring one of the Hero reinforcements.

Brewthern then admonished him: "Do you know where it is right now?"

Hearing Brewthern's words, the Hero could only shake his head with a whimper.

Then Anastasya approached Rhea, "Don't you have a tracking skill? Can you track someone down?"

Rhea nodded, "But I need to know the specs of that person."

"No problem" said Anastasya.

Then Anastasya began to mention Shiro's characteristics, "Hair is white, eyes are purple, wearing a white Men's Kimono outfit with blue and purple Flower motifs. Her height...."

After Anastasya told Shiro Characteristics, he then looked at Rhea: "How?"

Rhea smiled, "Me, follow me."
