Shiro: The Secret Hero
50. End of Battle

Inside the cave.

The Blizzard of Sword Tang attack issued by the Panatua Ice Elf injured everyone within reach of the Storm, including the Panatua Ice Elf.

The duration of this attack was about 30 minutes, the Ice Elf Panatua tried to survive the attack he unleashed.

After the duration of the Blizzard of Storm attack ended, the Aura that was inside the Cave room began to fade, all of them returning to normal conditions.

But the place inside the cave room was not as good as thought. The cave that was originally quite dry, was lined by Snow which was slowly melting.

In the Snow layer, there were a few drops of area flowers scattered everywhere.

Some bodies that can not be known how the shape. Many cave rocks fell during the attack.

Scratches on the surface of the Cave room show how powerful the Blizzard of Sword attack that issued.

Feel there is no more Aura of life in the Cave Room. The Ice Elf elder began to limp in.

His body is getting thinner, his skin is more paled and plus various kinds of attack spots are seen on his body.

The Ice Elf elder walked over towards the corpses of his men. He gave his men the final honor.

"May you all return to the arms of Goddess Niflheim" said the Ice Elf Panatua.

After a brief homage to his fellow Ice Elves. The Ice Elf Elder stared at the corpses of Brendy and Denshu who were not far away.

He walked towards the corpse of Denshu who was closest to him. "By absorbing you, my sacrifice is not in vain."

The Ice Elf elder slowly but surely approached Denshu's corpse. Although his vision became blurred, he continued walking steadily towards Denshu's corpse.

When he was in front of Denshu's corpse, an amazing sight suddenly occurred. The body simply disappeared, as if it had never existed before.

The Ice Elf Elder widened, he rubbed his eyes. But the body did not return. "Is this just my hallucination ?"

The Ice Elf elder did not think much, he was now staring at Brendy's corpse a short distance away from him.

He slowly approached, there was no reason to fail for him this time. If he could not absorb the remnants of the energy residing in the human body, his current state would deteriorate. And he could have died after this.

But the sight he did not want again happened. Brendy's body disappeared in front of his eyes.

The Ice Elf elder tried to find the body of another boy, but he did not find it. "Damn it, what's really going on."

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

Shiro who had managed to escape the range of the Blizzard of Sword attack, was currently still standing not far from the cave exit.

He tried to recover his condition first and solve the problems he faced before leaving this cave.

Slowly but surely, through the Breathing method, Shiro's body of Aura slowly filled up. Not to forget he used his perception to see the situation in the depths of the Cave.

` bam~`

` bam~`

Shiro hit the ground weakly a few times, he thought of his inability to save his friends.

Currently he is also not able to leave, Shiro has not been able to leave because he has to bring back the bodies of his two friends who have died. He could not let his friend's body be sacrificed just like that.

Because he knew why the Ice Elf Elder wanted all of them. Nothing else and nothing to prolong their life.

From the story Shiro got from Unseen about the origin of Gate. The creature inside the Gate is a creature that was exiled because it lost the battle.

They were exiled to the Gate and needed a way to survive.

Gate cannot exist forever, it needs a source that can maintain the state of Gate. That source was the remnants of life possessed by humans who had talent.

The Boss of the Gate needs to consume and absorb those life sources in order for the Gate to continue to survive.

In this case, Panatua Ice Elf as the Gate Boss who serves as a third party that bridges the process of absorption of life resources in order to be returned to the Gate.

From his perception, Shiro felt that the Aura inside the Cave was slowly thinning. That meant the Blizzard of Sword was slowly disappearing.

Shiro got up, his aura was also almost full. He also felt that there were still parties still alive in there. Shiro guessed that it was most likely that the Panatua Ice Elf was still alive.

The party's aura walked closer towards one of the extremely faint Remnants of Aura, Shiro could guess that the target was one of his friends.

Shiro did not let this happen, he rushed in a bit far to make sure his Switch skill managed to move the target.

After feeling his range was sufficient, he started to activate the Skill Switch he had.

` jentik~`

` jentik~`

One by one the bodies of his two friends were in front of him.

Shiro could not hold back his tears that fell seeing the condition of the bodies of his two friends that he could hardly recognize.

"I'm sorry, I can't take care of you guys."

Shiro's hands clenched, he would not be able to let his friend's killer live safely. Shiro intends to re-enter the cave.

Before leaving, Shiro placed both of his friends' bodies into the Inventory System room, although the Inventory could not be used to store living things, but it could be used to store corpses.

` jentik~`

Skill Switch is reused Shiro. He returned to the cave room. He saw the Panatua Ice Elf who was limping closer to Shiryuu-senpai's corpse eh more precisely Shiryuu Yuki. He is not worthy of being called Senpai.

Shiro did not let this happen, Shiro immediately approached and took out his Katana. He directly pierced the heart of the Panatua Ice Elf.

The Ice Elf Elder did not imagine that there was still a person alive after his great attack.

He looked at Shiro who stabbed him in the heart, "It looks like you moved the bodies of the two boys, uhukk"

The Ice Elf elder coughed up blood, and Shiro had no intention of answering his question.

"Goddess Niflheim, forgive me servant.. uhukk uhukk." murmured Panatua Ice Elf.

Shiro could slowly see that the increasingly weakened Panatua Ice Elf was coughing up blood. Until finally died.

The grudge of his anger was unresolved, he wanted to settle this by destroying the Yuki Family.

Shiro took the Corpse of the Ice Elf Elder and stored it in the System Inventory room.

` BAAAANNGGG~`

Not to forget, Shiro destroyed the cave room. A huge explosion rang out, the cave slowly collapsed.

While Shiro, he was on his way out of the Gate. Since the Gate was already dark, he could only fumble for a way out.

Unable to get a way out, Shiro can only spend the night at the Gate tonight. He waited for the sun to rise to find a way out.

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

Morning Day.

The light of the sun shone on the Gate, making Shiro easily able to find a way out.

With mixed feelings, Shiro walked out of the Gate.

He was shocked when he saw the conditions outside the Gate. There are a lot of people present.

Shiro seems to know what happened, but he has no intention of escaping. Since it's useless for you to escape, nothing will change. He will be considered guilty.

Sure enough, one of the middle-aged men came forward and approached Shiro.

The middle-aged man gave the order. "Shiro, you're under arrest."
