Shiro: The Secret Hero
168. Range Skill

Leaving his leisure life in S City, Shiro resumed his adventure. It is time to save the world.

Using a white Assassin Cloak, Shiro began to disappear amidst the vast expanse of snow.

The journey has resumed and Shiro has finally reactivated his communication tools.

Lots of calls and messages coming in. All of them came from the Association Chair, Anastasya and Brewthern. Surely it's from the Hero Association.

Seeing all those messages, Shiro only smiled lightly.

All messages that come are an invitation to participate in portal research and in completing the Gate.

Shiro smiled as he was not interested, there was no great benefit for him to participate. He continued his adventure and replied to a message from the Association Chairman: "No need, I'm not coming. It's all up to you."

Shortly after Shiro sent the message, the answer from the Association Leader also slowly came. The message is just one short, dense, clear word. "okay!"

Hours passed, Shiro continued to move at an extremely high speed. The snowy white environment began to fade, replaced by the atmosphere of forests and mountains that were beautiful to green.

Entering the forest, Shiro's movement speed became even faster. Because there are no obstacles that can slow down its pace.

Unlike the snowy environment that the ground felt soft and made his feet slightly mired into the snow piles.

Forest environment without barriers which means will not be able to slow down its pace.

"Okay, take a break here."

After many hours of continuing to step up, Shiro finally stopped to rest for a moment. During the trip, he managed to catch a forest rabbit.

Shiro is ready to make the forest bunny he got as his first dish in the forest after a few days off.

Taking firewood around, Shiro instantly made a fire to roast the forest rabbit.

After eating his lunch, Shiro did not forget to take out the Orb he got from the Yeti Monster. During the few holidays, Shiro had never touched this Orb.

Right now he was far away from the settlement, which meant this was a good time to use this Orb Right now.

Shiro washed his hands and prepared to use the Orb.

"May the Goddess of Fortune bless me!"

Then Shiro began injecting his aura into the Orb. He was looking forward to what skills he would gain later.

Usually the abilities within the Orb were related to the Humanoid Monster that was related to the previous possession of this Orb.

And since this Orb was from the Yeti Monster, there was a possibility that the ability would be obtained in connection with Ice or snow.

Shiro already had one ability related to Ice or snow, the Frost Wing. Even so, he would not refuse if he had one more ability related to it.

The more skills the better.

With so many abilities, it would make the variety of his attacks even more. Of course that is on condition that these abilities are useful for Shiro.

If the skill obtained is less useful like the Headbutt Skill that Shiro obtained from the Orb tribe. He might instantly forget that ugly skill and would never use it.

"Hehe~ Looks like the Goddess of Luck is on my side."

After knowing what he got, Shiro smiled in satisfaction. The skill he got was not an overpowering skill, it could even be said to be a basic skill. But this was enough for him.

Shiro did not have any long-range skills other than his throwing and shooting abilities in using a wide variety of weapons. And now, he finally had the ranged Skill he had obtained from this Orb.

The name of the skill is Ice Javelin.

As the name implies, Ice Javelin is an Ice element based Skill. Usually this skill is owned by Mage.

Ice Javelin is a skill that makes a heavy throwing spear of Ice attribute sourced from the Aura of its user.

The Ice Spear formed could not only be used as a long-range attack tool, but it could also be used for melee attacks. In short Dual Functions.

The making of Javelin Ice depends on the mind and Aura that its users have. The formed throwing spear could instantly appear in the user's hands or appear in thin air and instantly fly darting towards the enemy.

For the first, it's the basic thing. But for the second part, the user needs strong control over the Aura in order to make it in the air and directly dart towards the enemy.

And for Shiro, both are easy things. It has good throw accuracy and also strong Aura control ability. So that he can do both, even simultaneously.

Shiro was very satisfied with what he got. He then kept the Orb back in his inventory.

Now there are 3 Orbs in the inventory. Orbs from the Orc tribe, the Lizardman, and the latest from the Yeti Monster. All three have been used and give 3 different abilities.

The Control Skill Shiro found useless was Headbutt. Antidote which is similar to passive anti-poison skill. And the Javelin Ice Active Skill that can be used for long-range and close-range attacks.

Now his abilities are quite numerous and varied. Shiro began to think of a combination of attacks that could defeat the enemy quickly.

The ability of Ice Javelin is very suitable when combined with the Switch skill. Good for a surprise attack, or to avoid. Shiro preferred the first.

The myriad attack combinations Shiro had designed in the blink of an eye.

He could have attacked with 2 Ice Javelins in a row. Combined with the Switch Skill, Shiro could swap the first-throwed Javelin Ice with the enemy's body. So that the enemy will be surprised and can not react to the second Ice Javelin that leads to him.

Or Shiro can also attack using Ice Javelin as usual. And when the Ice Javelin is successfully avoided by the enemy, Shiro can immediately switch places with Ice Javelin using Skill Switch and attack the enemy from behind.

This second method was often used by Shiro before. But the difference, this time he attacked using Ice Javelin, not a dagger or throwing knife. Shiro can be more cost effective.

Yes, at least his expenditure in the manufacture of throwing knives could be removed. And these funds can be stored as Old Day Allowances.

After getting enough rest, Shiro prepared to return to continue his journey, of course, he was also impatient to try his new skill.

After packing up, Shiro resumed his journey quite casually. He moved slowly to find a target that could be used to try and train his new skill.

Less than 100 meters Shiro stepped up, he felt several Auras slowly approaching towards him.

Seeing this, Shiro smiled.

"It looks like the target has been found."
