Shiro: The Secret Hero
82. Expires

Sensing the Aura constantly gathering above the Thunder Bird King's head, the heroes felt fear and a feeling of despair enveloping them.

They could all see the blackened Cloud accompanied by a flash of lightning that was ready to strike at any moment.

"Damn, what do we need to do ?"

"Are we just going to end up like this ?"

Questions and despair enveloped the Heroes.

Leon whose body was covered in wounds, he rose up at the very front. "Just calm down, I have one fairly powerful defense device that could possibly withstand the attack."

"really ?"

A sentence from Leon, became a glimmer of hope for all of them.

Because of this defense, they were confident, if it could withstand the attacks from the Thunder Bird King, they would be able to cast spells strong enough to resist.

However, an additional statement from Leon, made them skeptical.

"But this tool can only last for a few minutes. And when using it, no one could attack outside the defensive area."

Hearing the statement, their smiles faded, "Then what did we say ? How can we beat him ?"

Leon shook his head, "I don't know, I don't have an Ace anymore. Maybe we can try to recover our wounds and Aura, then prepare to launch an impromptu attack when the time of use of this tool is almost up."

They all nodded, that was the only way.

"Alright, since you all agree, let's do it."

Leon then took out a black iron ball the size of a soccer ball from his space ring. Then he motioned to let them all approach him.

When feeling everyone is within range of the item. Leon then threw the ball up. "Enable! "

Along with the ball's silence, lightning began to strike where they were at the moment.

They could only see the white light at this time, they were scared, they felt that the defense tool had not been successfully activated and they were all hit by the attack from the Thunder Bird King.

But they were wrong, it turned out that the white light they saw was not lightning. Except the activation of the defense ball.

"Don't worry all. These are all defense mechanisms. We can't see out, nor can outsiders look inside. We seem to be dimensionally different from the outside world." explains Leon.

They all sat down in relief when they heard Leon's explanation. At least they were safe and survived the Thunder Bird King's attack just now.

"Everyone please rest. Recover your physique and Aura. It will only last for 10 minutes. So use the time as best you can." Leon started to remind.

"Yes, Captain."

Support especially Healer is busy treating wounded heroes.

Due to the limited energy and time, some other Heroes who did not have serious enough injuries, they were forced to resort to their own medicinal and healing potions.

Some of them, some of them are cooking, they are hungry and tired from fighting from this morning.

Their various activities do each. Some are busy practicing, sleeping, make-up, and such.

Without them noticing, 10 minutes had almost passed.

"Everyone, gather. Soon the defense ball will run out. Everyone prepare for their positions." Leon started reminding them all.

"Yes, Captain."

All the heroes start to prepare, they put up their best gear, wake up their friends. And into the formation line.

"The light of the defensive ball has started to fade, it means that soon the time is running out. Damage Dealer especially Mage, prepare a considerable spell. We'll prepare a surprise attack. The tanker is also preparing for an attack."

"Yes Captain."

They all started to follow Leon's orders. The Damage Dealer began to cast a spell. And the Tankers were in front of them, surrounding the Damage Dealers who were in the middle of the formation.

"Time's almost up."

Leon started counting.

" 3 "

" 2 "

" 1 "

"Yes.."

The white scene in front of them changed into the scene in the previous Boss Room.

But they were shocked, because the scene before them was tragic.

Holes, cracks and scabs on the ground everywhere. It was as if there was a terrible storm that had just occurred here.

However considering the powerful attack that the Thunder Bird King had almost launched, they felt, this was all quite natural.

Leon's reminder rang out again, breaking their reverie. "Everyone, find the Thunder Bird King immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

They wildly searched for the existence of the Thunder Bird King around and in the air. However they were unable to find any hint of the Thunder Bird King's whereabouts in the slightest.

Suddenly the screams of someone startled them.

"Captain take a look at this" said one of the heroes, pointing to a mountain slope near the forest.

Leon and the other heroes were interested in hearing the man's words, they approached and saw what the man had found.

When looking towards the mountain slope that the man pointed at, they were all shocked.

They saw a dead bird that was burned. There were still electric bows on his body.

At first glance, they looked foreign to the appearance of the corpse. But after careful attention, they realized that the corpse was the corpse of the Thunder Bird King.

"Has he been affected by his own attack ? " ask Someone.

"Oh yeah, but let's check first."

Several heroes ventured to get down, seeing the condition of the corpse of the Thunder Bird King, including Leon.

They were all still on guard, if the Thunder Bird King was still alive, or there were other enemies lurking around them. Not all heroes come down.

A few minutes passed, they could not find any results or conclusions. Unless the Thunder Bird King died by itself due to the effect of the skill or because of the Crystal on his forehead that exploded.

Yes, they discovered that the golden-yellow Crystal on the Thunder Bird King's forehead was no longer there. Whether it's disappearing, destroyed or taken away, they don't know the truth.

After proving that this was really the corpse of the Thunder Bird King, they were all rejoicing.

Pleasure and happiness were on their faces.

"Captain, we did it."

"Yeay, we won."

Excited cheers sounded outside in Boss' room. There is still 1 problem left. That is the spell that has been prepared by the Damage Dealer.

"Captain, what should we do with the spells we have prepared."

Leon smiled, then pointed up.

They all nodded in understanding of what Leon meant.

Smiling, they cast the spells into space.

` Bang~`

` Bang~`

` Bang~`

The spell explosion sounded. But there is a feeling of relief when you see the spells are released.

It was as if they were releasing what had shackled their hearts and souls.

The explosion of the spell is supposed to make a fireworks that is quite lively even in the middle of a hot day.

The incantations of the attack, became a celebratory fireworks display for their successful completion of the Gate.

Take off their shackles.

Getting Winnings.

Gaining Happiness.
