Shiro: The Secret Hero
76. Standby

Shiro took out a communication device that Leon had given him in addition to 2 small crystals the size of marbles.

"Hello, it's me Zero. I have important information I want to tell you."

Soon, Leon's voice sounded, "Zero ? Who is Zero ? I don't know him."

Shiro patted his forehead, forgetting to introduce his identity to Leon. In addition, Leon had only seen a piece of the Hero Association's Special identity letter and had not read Shiro's identity in the letter.

"I'm Zero, Special Forces of the Hero Association. The white-robed Assassin who had wings." Shiro explained.

"Oh, so that's you. Then, what information are you going to tell me ?" leon said with great enthusiasm.

"I have information about the Boss room. Listen to me, look....."

Before Shiro finished his sentence, Leon interrupted Shiro's conversation excitedly, "Boss Room ? where is that ? Tell me quickly."

"Listen to me first." Shiro said in an annoyed tone.

Feeling too rushed, Leon apologized. "Hehe, sorry, sorry. Then, what about the Boss room you were talking about? "

"I found a disposable teleportation array towards the Boss Room. I don't know what the specifications are, because I haven't entered them." Shiro was brief.

Leon who was on another floating island frowned, "Then, how do you know that it's Boss' room if you've never seen it in person?"

Shiro knew of Leon's suspicions, but he had no intention of explaining them in detail. "I have my own way. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. At least I told you what I know."

Hearing Shiro's unfriendly words, Leon felt that he was too suspicious. Whereas the other party was a Special Forces from the Hero Association.

Leon wants to apologize, but Shiro's words are heard again. "Partially, if the disposable teleportation array was only on the floating island I was on. And I enter it alone, you won't be able to do anything, let alone enter the Boss' room."

Leon nodded, "Yes, you're right. I was too hasty and suspicious before, I'm sorry. Thank you for the information you gave me. I'll try to find a teleportation array on the island I'm on "

After which, Shiro nodded. He also revealed the specific location of the teleportation arrangement where the floating island is located. Who knows, there are similar locations on other floating islands.

"Huh~" Shiro sighed, he looked at the location of the teleportation array above the altar. He could only give up entering the Boss' room at this time. Although he was strong enough to by One fight Boss, yet he had to think rationally.

Don't let it, because it's too confident and only for one monster Boss. Your good name will be tainted.

Shiro pulled out a useful marking tool to signal the location to appear on Special GPS. Shiro uses this because he intends to search for other floating islands, while waiting for news from Leon.

"Let's go." After marking the location, Shiro invites Unsen to go elsewhere.

Shiro flies off, he exits the island and starts searching for other floating islands. From a distance, he saw a beacon jutting into the sky.

"Something seems to need help." Shiro Mumbled. He then rushed to the floating island location where the flare was lit.

After a few minutes, Shiro saw a team of 4 people fighting with a flock of Thunder Bird.

A healer who is trying to cure a Damage Dealer is a Ranger and a Mage. In addition, there was a Tanker who tried to dispel the arrival of Thunder Bird so as not to approach the female Healer.

Seeing the condition of the Tanker's body filled with charred wounds, Shiro was amazed by his fighting spirit. The tanker did not flee when faced with life-threatening danger. He also dared to sacrifice to help so that his teammate could survive.

"Damn, I'm exhausted, my legs are already shaking. Has no reinforcements arrived yet?" the Tanker.

"Hold, wait a minute. Our new flare turns on, it takes time for reinforcements to come" said the woman's healer as she continued to heal two unconscious members of her team.

The tanker saw the heavy sweat on the Healer's forehead, he decided to hold on for a little while longer.

"Huh, Forward you the NATIONATTT~" said the Tanker cursed the Thunder Bird who flew around above them.

Some Thunder Bird was lured by the Tanker's voice. The tanker smiled. "This is my last skill. The Shield of Prison."

A transparent Aura wall suddenly appeared and circled the area where the Tanker and his teammates were.

The tanker immediately fell down after removing the skill. He was exhausted, not only physically, but mentally as well. Using this Skill consumed a lot of Aura in his body. So that the Aura in his body became very thin now.

If he were to forcefully use his current aura, he could-could die of exhaustion from running out of Aura.

` bang~`

` bang~`

Thunder Bird who tried to attack, all of them hit a thick wall. They could not break through the defenses of the Shield of Prison.

Shield of Prison was an Area Protective Skill. However, as the name suggests, the target area will be protected but cannot attack enemies that are outside.

However, this Skill could be destroyed from the outside and had a time limit of only 10 minutes.

"We are safe for a while" said the Tanker weakly.

The healer nodded, at least with this Shield of Prison, being able to buy time until reinforcements arrived.

` bang~`

` bang~`

The two became worried, they were afraid that the Shield of Prison would be destroyed if this continued to happen.

But there was nothing they could do, they they they could hope, reinforcements would arrive soon or the Thunder Bird would run away and give up their pursuit.

However, 1 minute passed.

2 Minutes passed.

There are still no reinforcements in sight.

` Dang~`

` Dang~`

` Dang~`

The onslaught of attacks from the Thunder Bird herd continued. As if they did not know the word surrender, they continued to attack the protective wall in turn.

` Click~`

A crack began to appear on the wall of the shield. It was only a matter of time before this protective wall was destroyed.

The Tanker who saw the cracks that started to appear, could only snort softly and started to stand up.

He felt that they had to fight back, there was no point in continuing to be silent like this. He looked at the two teammates who were still fainting, but had started to recover with a smile. "Take them, go and find somewhere safe. I'll buy time."

"No, I will not leave you alone." the Healer refused.

The tanker could only smile wryly, he knew that it was useless to escape. With the number of Thunder Bird, there must be some Thunder Bird chasing them.

"Jude, let's fight together. Please take care of me." The tanker raised its large shield and was ready to wait for the enemy's attack to come.

` Click~`

`BAANGG~`

The cracks that appeared grew increasingly larger and eventually exploded, breaking into pieces.

The Thunder Bird excitedly rushed towards their team, and They could only fight to the point of the final blood.

` Dang~`

The tanker managed to catch the half-attack from Thunder Bird. However the attack was not only one, the others slowly started attacking, and the hands of the Tanker started to numb after several times trying to fend off the attacks from the Thunder Bird.

` Bang~`

The tanker bounced backwards into the tree where the two teammates rested. "Damn, it just got here."

The Healer rushed over, trying to treat the Tanker. But since his aura was about to run out as well, he could only use simple healing skills.

"Damn, if I still have a lot of Aura, sorry for being your burden." The healer rambled, apologizing to the Tanker.

"It's okay, it's not your fault" said the Tanker.

"But. but..."

"Ssttt~ Look, they've come here."

The tanker cut off the speech from the Healer, then he pointed to some Thunder Bird that was pointing at them.

"Hey, looks like it's gonna end here. Thank you for accompanying me." said the Tanker resignedly.

"No, there's gotta be a chance. Hold on, you know, I like you. So hang on." the Helaer started crying. He tried to persuade the Tanker not to give up.

Hearing the confession from the Healer, the Tanker smiled. He then rubbed the head of the Healer, "Thank you for loving a man like me."

Seeing the Thunder Bird attack that was almost there. The tanker held the Healer to his chest. They are both locked in their world.

"I like you too! "the tanker whispered slowly in the Healer's ear.

They embrace each other in silence, trying to hold back the cries from falling. Wishing we could die together. Or at least, the thickness of the Tanker's Armor can protect the Healer.

10 Seconds Passed.

30 Seconds passed.

The pain from the Thunder Bird attack did not come.

The two of them opened their eyes, they saw a white figure flying at them.

The figure speaks to them. "Are you guys done ?"
