Shiro: The Secret Hero
143. Nomplok Sustenance

Shiro and Unseen enter the Cave where the Giant Cyclops is located.

According to Ume's description, the Giant Cyclops were inside the Cave about less than a kilometer after entering the mouth of the Cave. That means it's not too far away.

Entering the Cave which was only accompanied by a dim light from the crystal wall that emitted a faint light. Although not bright, but the light from the light crystal can be used to illuminate the road.

The closer to the location of the Giant Cyclops, Shiro grew more vigilant. He entered the Stealth state and Unseen also began to move through the shadows.

There were no traps Shiro and Unseen encountered during the journey, it signified that the Giant Cyclops were neither creatures nor races that were intelligent enough.

They tend to rely solely on the muscles and strength they have. And of course, the stomach controls all that.

Shiro finally reached where the Giant Cyclops were. Shiro looked at Unseen who was hiding not far from there, "Let's start."

Shiro and Unseen instantly moved into the Cave whose surroundings were quite large, both of them dispersed. Shiro did not expect that there was a room this big inside the belly of the volcano.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a house in this cave. The Giant Cyclops seemed to rest just like that in any place within this Cave. So Shiro can easily lock on the target.

Shiro replaced the Twin White Tiger with his Katana. He came upon one of the Giant Cyclops who was still asleep.

Activating the Dream Skill inside his Katana, Shiro intends to kill the enemy secretly.

Slasshhh~

After activating the Dream skill to the Giant Cyclops that was in front of him, Shiro instantly slashed his neck.

The Giant Cyclops simply died without leaving any sound. Shiro did not stay still, he directly poked the only eyeball of the Giant Cyclops, then punched the stomach of the Giant Cyclops to retrieve the Crystal Core in his stomach.

After that, Shiro resumed searching for prey without having to wait for long.

This was the superiority of the Dream skill in stealth attacks. Soundless can kill enemies quickly, without being known to other opponents. So that Shiro can carry out a killing combo continuously.

Shiro continued searching for the target, ignoring the Giant Cyclops who were still awake. The target this time was the Giant Cyclops who was resting.

Slasshhh~

Once again Shiro activated the Dream skill and killed the Giant Cyclops in silence. After killing he swiftly retrieved the two precious materials from the Giant Cyclops body and re-entered Stealth in search of his next target.

Currently Shiro was in the middle of the room, he could see the entire room clearly. He could confirm the layout of the Giant Cyclops.

Aside from the two Giant Cyclops he had killed earlier, there was still one more Giant Cyclops sleeping, but the Giant Cyclops looked different from the other Giant Cyclops.

The Giant Cyclops was in a high enough place, on a small hill. In addition, there is a base of leaves where he sleeps, in contrast to other places that do not have any reason.

In addition, the Giant Cyclops has other characteristics that distinguish it from other Giant Cyclops. The difference lies in the presence of one small horn above the only eye. Also, the Giant Cyclops eyelashes are more pliable than the other Giant Cyclops.

Since the one-horned Giant Cyclops slept while surrounded by the other four Giant Cyclops guarding his side, Shiro could guess that the Giant Cyclops was the head of his tribe.

"Wait a minute, it looks like I need to name the Giant Cyclops. What'd I name it?"

Shiro tried to think of a name for the Giant Cyclops Tribe Chief. Then he got an idea.

"What about the One-Horned Giant Cyclops? Okay, fix. His name is One-Horned Giant Cyclops."

After Shiro decided on the name of the Chief of the Giant Cyclops Tribe, one-Horned Giant Cyclops seemed to smile happily. He likes the name Shiro.

When the One-Horned Giant Cyclops turned around, Shiro was startled, his eyes twinkling. For he saw an Orb tucked in tarzan pants worn by the One-Horned Giant Cyclops.

"It seems like my trip wasn't in vain." Shiro muttered softly as he licked his lips.

Shiro began to move about, trying to approach the One-Horned Giant Cyclops who had fallen asleep in tight guard.

When Shiro's distance from the One-Horned Giant Cyclops location reached 100 meters, the One-Horned Giant Cyclops' eyes seemed to twitch, like they were about to wake up. Shiro immediately retreated back.

Looking at the One-Horned Giant Cyclops who had returned to sleep, Shiro looked flinched. He finally made a decision.

Taking out the usual ball-shaped material, Shiro flicked his finger and activated the Switch skill.

Ctekkk~

The target was to exchange that ordinary Ball Material for an Orb owned by the One-Horned Giant Cyclops.

Because the distance was possible, Shiro finally managed to exchange the Orb for ordinary ball material.

But surprisingly, Aura Shiro instantly reduced by half. Shiro was immediately surprised to feel this.

Because the capacity of Aura Shiro is not much different from the Aura owned by S-level Mages. It could even be more.

Shiro uses the Orb as the Switch's target, so he is surprised by the Aura's consumption.

But Shiro did not bother him much, he could fill Aura quickly through his breathing method. He then looked at Orb in his hand with a full smile.

"Hehe~ is Good, can be a windfall."

...****************...

Otherside.

Unseen who parted ways with Shiro, also did not remain silent. He sees Shiro can easily kill sleeping prey, so he starts looking for targets who are asleep as well. But, baby, he didn't find it.

He did not dare to kill directly the Giant Cyclops who were on guard, not out of fear, but he was afraid of messing with Shiro who did grilliya tactics.

Unseen is still faithfully waiting for an opportunity, he remains patient, because patience is the key to becoming a real Assassin.

Waiting for the sweet-fruited Unseen, he saw one of the Giant Cyclops walking towards the exit of the Cave.

Seeing this, Unseen felt his chance had already appeared. He quietly followed the Giant Cyclops who were walking in the hallway towards the exit of the Cave.

From afar, Shiro also saw one of the Giant Cyclops heading outside. But when he saw Unseen begin to move after the Giant Cyclops, Shiro let him.

Shiro handed the one over to Unseen.

Unseen continued to follow the Giant Cyclops, apparently the consciousness of the Giant Cyclops was quite weak, so his hiding close enough to the Giant Cyclops was not discovered.

Feeling that the distance was quite far from the location where the Giant Cyclops were, Unseen felt that this was the right time to make an ambush.

Unseen finally began to move to kill the Giant Cyclops.
