Shiro: The Secret Hero
58. Investigations

The night is getting late.

When the other heroes sleep, Shiro is still awake. He was preparing to go on a secret mission.

Feeling the right time, Shiro changed into a suit. He was wearing Assassin clothes given by the Hero Association. No way Shiro uses a box head suit, right ?

Shiro walked quietly, he also used Stealth skill so as not to be caught when he left.

With ease, Shiro managed to get out of the worker's tent area and was currently heading outside of U City.

When it was about to come out, it turned out that there were still some combat heroes on guard. They patrolled trying to keep City U from having a second phase monster attack.

With his Stealth Skill, Shiro could easily sneak out of City U avoiding being caught by the guard Heroes.

` jentik~`

` jentik~`

To make things faster, Shiro used the Switch skill to move faster. During his search today, Shiro several times released some objects that had Aura as a road claimant. In short so that it is not stray.

Shiro's speed to reach the Gate became faster, this he aimed because he did not know the conditions inside the Gate. Before Dawn came, he must have gone out of the Gate.

In just a few minutes, Shiro finally arrived in front of the Gate he had met today. Not waiting for long, he went straight into the gate.

Inside the Gate, a ripple was formed, Shiro was the one who came out from the ripple.

After Shiro entered the Gate, the Ripple remained in its place, because the Ripple was a way out of the Gate. Of course, the monsters inside the Gate could also exit the Gate through the ripples.

Shiro looked around. He wanted to see the view at the Gate this time.

He is currently on the edge of a cliff, precisely on the Cape of an island. He looked at the ocean in front of him.

"Unseen come out, you'll keep watch here, lest any monsters come near." Shiro ordered.

Unseen obeyed, he hid behind a shadow of a rock near the ripple. Shiro did not forget to give a Beacon to Unseen as a signal in case something unwanted happens.

Shiro turned around, and ran towards the forest. He believes in the ability of Unseen.

Just entering the forest, Shiro immediately met a monster.

He meets the Black Serpent. A giant black snake. Whatever fate follows Shiro, every time he enters the Gate, the first enemy he faces must be a snake.

Judging from the size of the Black Serpent was quite large, larger than the Cyber-Tooth Ice Snake.

Thanks to the Assassin robe that can reduce the presence plus Stealth skill, Shiro can approach the snake easily.

Seringai appeared on Shiro's face when he saw the condition of the snake. Not because it is dead, but the Snake is in a state of fullness.

Looks like the new Black Serpent finished hunting and catching prey. This is seen from his stomach that protrudes as if he had swallowed another animal round-round.

The Black Serpent did not move, but its light breathing indicated that it was asleep, trying to digest its food.

This was an opportunity for Shiro to kill him in one strike.

Although his duties were only investigative, he was not forbidden to hunt. The important thing is the results of the investigation.

Shiro took out his Soul Weapon and injected Aura into it.

When Shiro injected Aura, the Black Serpent's body trembled. He felt an approaching danger.

` sheeeesshhh~`

Shiro took a deep breath. Shiro's arm muscles were swollen. Shiro then swung the Katana-shaped Soul Weapon to the back of the head of the Black Serpent.

` slasshh~`

Once slashed, the Black Serpent's head separated from its body. Blood gushed profusely, Shiro had already retreated away in fear of being exposed to the splash of blood from the Black Serpent.

Shiro avoided being exposed to the Black Serpent's blood spurts not out of disgust or fear of being dirty. But because he anticipated if the Blood of the Black Serpent contained poison.

After the blood from the Black Serpent stopped flowing and he felt safe. Shiro began to approach the corpse of the Black Serpent.

Shiro then split the Bada Blacm Serpent and kept some important parts of the Black Serpent for sale.

In the stomach of the Black Serpent, Shiro found a lump of meat that was beginning to be digested by the Black Serpent. The flesh is a Deer-shaped monster, Shiro can recognize it at a glance. But he could not determine the specific type because the shape that began unclear.

` wooo woo~`

A Wolf Auman sounded approaching his direction. Shiro immediately disposed of the remains of the deer monster because there was nothing that could be utilized.

Shiro lurked quite far from the trees, before long a swarm of Wolves came to the area Shiro was in before.

From the crescent moon on the Wolf's forehead, Shiro can recognize that the Wolf is a Moon Wolf.

Moon Wolf is a type of Wolf that usually hunts at night. Their main abilities are at speed and Buff in all aspects by the time the moon appears.

From a distance, Shiro saw the Moon Wolfs preying on the digested remains of the Deer meat from the Black Serpent.

After eating enough of it, the Moon Wolf brought along a little leftover from the Deer's flesh. It seems he intends to bring the rest of the meat to their herd.

Silently, Shiro followed the Wolf herd. He thought maybe the boss of this Gate was the leader of Moon Wolf.

After quite some distance following, Shiro finally found a group of Moon Wolf. But Shiro was disappointed, judging by the size and total herd of Moon Wolf a little, there was no way this Gate was their territory.

Shiro gave up on stalking Moon Wolf, he returned to the forest.

During the sweep, Shiro finds various monsters. But Shiro was disappointed because the monsters he encountered were very weak. He didn't kill those monsters, killing them was all a waste of time.

A few hours passed, Shiro managed to walk through the entire forest area, or rather the entire area of the island.

Apparently, the area of this island is not so broad, just the area of a small town about the size of below 500 m².

For several hours, Shiro left the forest area, but he did not get results.

Shiro returned to where Unseen was, it seemed like Unseen was guarding the Gate ripples well.

Shiro intended to get out of the Gate, he had been inside the Gate for too long. The other Heroes were worried because they did not see Shiro in his place. This will cause beauty if it really happens.

Therefore, he intends to give up investigating today. After all, there are still a few more days of missions carried out in U City. There is still a chance to continue the mission.

From his speculation, Shiro assumed that the boss monster from the Gate was likely to be underground or in the ocean.

But just as he was about to get out of the Gate, a humming sounded from his ears. A chant sounded acceptable to Shiro which made him stop his steps.

He looked at the ocean in front of him.

"Lullaby ?..."
