Shiro: The Secret Hero
62. The Frost Wing

In a mountain rock area.

There are so many bird-type flying monsters that roam around here and there.

The birds had red eyes, as if they were possessed by their own emotions. They smashed rocks, knocked down trees, and attacked other land monsters.

The environment at the top of the mountains is very messy.

A young man dressed all in ragged black stared towards the top of the mountain range.

But what he saw was not the chaos, but a Gate that floated in the air, precisely at the top of the mountains.

The young man pulled out a communication ball, then contacted someone. "I found it."

"Good, can you check the gate?" a voice came out from the Communication Ball replying to the young man's message.

"Of course." said the young man, he opened the hood of his head covering, seen the young man's hair in white.

Yes, that young man is Shiro. He is now 17 years old, it has been several years since his execution.

Now Shiro's appearance became more mature and more authoritative. But the clothes he was wearing looked ragged.

Naturally, for many years he had used a black robe on missions.

Already several times he entered the Gate and fought the monste, so that his clothes could not keep up with his growth.

"We're counting on you."

Shiro then closed and kept the Communication Ball.

This Communication Ball is a special product used to communicate in an encrypted manner. Neither side can listen except the two sides who speak.

Unlike ordinary communication tools such as Smartphones, which sometimes there are people who can hijack and know the information contained therein.

` brassssss~`

A snow-white wing came out from the back of his robe.

This white wing was a Skill Shiro had obtained from the Ice Elf's Orb. Shiro referred to this skill as the 'Frost Wing.'

After the wings spread out, Shiro immediately flew to the top of the mountain.

While flying, he also activated the Stealth skill so that it could not be seen or detected by the monsters around.

Not that he did not want to fight, but his mission was just a reconnaissance mission.

He was assigned to scout and provide information about the monsters inside the Gate.

To be honest, he was bored with the mission. For several years, he was never allowed to carry out assault missions, he was always assigned as the Gate's scout.

Nothing can be said, at most Shiro can take a leak when killing some of the monsters around or the monsters inside the Gate.

Especially in the last few months, a lot of gates have sprung up. It seemed like the Endless Continent was in chaos at the moment.

Shiro easily sneaks into the Gate undetected by the monsters.

Shiro saw the scenery inside the Gate.

An endless desert he saw inside the Gate.

"Huh, it seems like it will be troublesome again." Shiro sighed.

Shiro took off his robe, and Unseen also came out from the Shiro Shadow.

The atmosphere of a desert like this does not match the actions of Unseen, because not many Shadows exist in a desert that is empty like this.

Shiro walks in the desert, trying to find traces of life in the desert.

A sudden tremor was felt under his feet, he felt a living being moving closer to them from underground.

Shiro immediately jumped up and took out a 'Frost Wing' as a means to fly.

A vortex of suction sand suddenly formed in place of the beach just now.

"It looks like it's a skill possessed by a monster here, do you know something Unseen ?" ask Shiro to Unseen.

Unseen's voice instantly rang out in his eyes, "I'm not sure, I need to see it in person."

Shiro nodded, he was very lucky to have Unseen.

Because to his knowledge, in order to identify monsters, it was necessary for Identification skill to know the identity of the monster.

And Shiro was lucky to have Unseen, who incidentally had knowledge of monsters that existed in the Endless Continent.

Shiro took out a buffalo-shaped animal corpse from his inventory and threw it into the edge of quicksand.

` kieeeekkk~`

The monster is shaped like a worm, with a body diameter of 2-3 meters. For a length of more than 50 meters, Shiro could not confirm it because part of the monster's body was in the sand.

When he was about to eat the bait that Shiro gave, he saw 3 mouthplashes open and saw thousands of sharp teeth that immediately smoked the body of the animal.

Not to forget Shiro recorded the scene as a sign of evidence of his surveillance.

"Do you know him ?" ask Shiro to Unseen while keeping the recording device.

"Yes, that's Sandworm Dune. With thousands of teeth and has a hard skin because it lives in areas of sand. There would be no other monsters left if there were Sandworm Dune." Unseen told Shiro.

"It looks like the invenstigation this time is quite fast. But before we go back, we need to bring some souvenirs." Shiro smirked.

Unseen knew what Shiro was going to do. He just reminded Shiro. "Sandworm Dune rarely appears on the surface, you need to use a decoy like that to get it out."

Shiro nodded, he intended to take out another bait. Since the Sandworm Dune that appeared earlier had already disappeared, it went into the sand.

Once again, Shiro threw the animal corpse. This time the corpse of a Bird that Shiro killed while searching for this Gate.

When the corpse of the Bird touched the ground, Sandworm Dune reappeared and pounced on the corpse of the Bird.

Shiro immediately accelerated, he rushed up to the Sandworm Dune. He took out a few throwing knives and attacked Sandworm Dune.

` dentang~`

` dentang~`

The knife bounced when it hit the skin of Sandworm Dune. It even makes sparks, like being pitted against iron.

Sandworm Dune who was eating the corpse of the bird immediately rushed angrily towards Shiro for interrupting his meal time.

Seeing the approaching Sandworm Dune, Shiro immediately took out his Soul Weapon.

A Katana split the Sandworm's mouth into its stomach. Purple blood flowed out.

kiekkk~`

The sandworm cried out in pain, and he was about to flee into the sand.

But Shiro did not let that happen. He immediately rushed to hold Sandwor's body and pulled it.

Feeling unable to escape, Sandworm Dune desperately bumped into Shiro with his hard body.

Shiro did not dodge, he simply wrapped his body with his Frost Wing.

` dang~`

The two collide, but Shiro is fine. This was the ability Shiro had discovered from his Frost Wing.

The mechanism of protection by utilizing the wing feathers that can harden like an ice. Of course, these feathers can also be used to attack. But Shiro did not use it, because it is difficult to fly again when the feathers are much reduced.

After fending off the collision from Sandworm Dune, Shiro had already prepared many Bombs and Grenades.

Shiro easily inserted the explosive device into the mouth of Sandworm Dune which had been wide open.

` BANGGGGG~`

Sandworm Dune's upper body exploded, its body scattered everywhere.

Shiro whose body was protected by the Frost Wing casually descended and retrieved the remains of the still intact Sandworm Dune's body.

"Mayan, this can be sold or can be made Armor."

Shiro picked up the remnants of Sandworm's skin and put them into the Inventory.

"Kuy goes around again" Shiro said as he spread his wings and flew. It was followed by Unseen who was on his shoulder.

After being satisfied around, he returned to the ripple Gate to get out.

Although he was in the Desert, he could easily return to where he came through a transmitter he placed near the ripple Gate.

While walking around, he did not find much. Except for a few sand scorpions, he did not find any other monsters he was fighting.

Disappointed, he quickly returned. He doesn't like dry heat like this.

After exiting the Gate, Shiro immediately informed the Hero Association of the conditions inside the Gate. Starting from the environment, up to monsters.

Shiro sent the footage he recorded inside the Gate. Not to forget he also told me that it was difficult to find Sandworm Dune if you did not bring bait.

As for the Association's side listening to it or not, it's their decision. After all, he's only in charge of investigating, he won't be able to finish the Gate.

After that, Shiro returned to City A.

He wanted to utilize the Leather Sandworm Dune, either for sale or to be made into an equipment.
