Chapter 1133: Aria's Back Up Plan

While Makron was focused on keeping Rokarn busy, Shiro was analysing the domain that Rokarn had placed.

Most of it was hidden through runes that kept changing but by using her newly upgraded Analysis EX, she was able to spot the small instances where the domain runes were revealed.

While reading the runes, Shiro couldn't help but furrow her brows.

'This domain… why is it's construction so similar to my own Throne World.' Shiro thought to herself.

Usually Throne Worlds should be unique to each individual. Even if it's the same element, it would be constructed differently depending on the person who did it due to their thought process and usage of mana.

Very rarely would you have two Throne Worlds are similar in appearance and even rarer to have two that are constructed in such a similar manner.

Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro wanted to try out something. If the Throne World was so similar to her own, she might be able to hijack this domain, making it easier for them to kill Rokarn.

Flying to the border of the domain, Shiro activated a barrier around herself and placed her hand against the wall.

Just as she tried to bypass the first barrier, she realised that it was rejecting the runes that she were using. Similar to when you try to use a wrong key on the door, she couldn't even begin the decoding since the key won't fit.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro sighed.

'So before I can even start to decipher this domain I'll need to study his runes?' Shiro thought to herself and massaged her shoulder.

'Well it can't be that hard. Activating Analysis EX, her surroundings started to slow down.

Bringing up the images of the runes, Shiro started to decode them. But the moment she tried this, there was something that clicked in her mind.

Her vision started to warp as some images started to overlap one another.

Gritting her teeth, Shiro ignored the headache she was feeling and tried to make sense of the images.

'What's happening?' She couldn't help but think to herself.

In front of her, she could see the faint silhouette of a child running. Her facial features were largely blurred out but Shiro could see that she was smiling.

As she ran along, time sped up and the girl grew up. As a child, she was shy but active. That shyness soon disappeared as she grew up into an adult.

Holding her head, Shiro could barely recognise the person in front of her but that was a face she won't forget. Even if it was a younger version of her.

"Aria…" Shiro muttered while holding her head.

Feeling a sharp pain in her mind, she soon found herself in the middle of a battlefield.

Fire and ruin surrounded her as only two figures could be seen. One was injured and leaning against debris while the other stood proud.

'Is that me?' Shiro thought to herself while looking at the version of her that was still standing.

Raising her hand, black energy gathered into a blade as her face was cold.

Opening her mouth, she started to speak but Shiro couldn't hear anything. She tried to lip read but couldn't recognise the language she was speaking.

In a single moment, all of the energy disappeared as Aria jumped up and punched a hole through her chest.

Black and red energy coursed from Shiro's body into Aria's arm as it turned black with red circuits. Ripping out what seems to be the source code, it was shattered apart and the vision cleared itself.

'The hell…' Shiro furrowed her brows as tried to make sense of the vision. But the most important part was that the black runes that Rokarn used started to make sense to her.

Without even decoding them, she knew their meaning.

Snapping out of her confusion, she glanced back and could see that Makron was struggling to stop Rokarn from trying to kill her.

Understanding that she needed to speed things up, she pulled her arm back and narrowed her eyes.

Suddenly, black runes started to appear on her arm as Rokarn watched in shock.

Gritting her teeth from the influx of power, Shiro punched forward.

The moment her hand came into contact with the barrier, a web of black runes spread across the surface of the barrier, picking apart the defences and breaking into the main array.

In a single instant, all of the information related to this domain flooded into Shiro's mind as she activated a tier 7 magic circle using her spare hand.

Materialising the standard golden runes that she uses now, Shiro started to weave the two together.

With Makron stopping Rokarn from interfering, he could only watch as the domain was ripped from his control.

Suddenly, a white array appeared on his back.

"!!!"

Widening his eyes, Rokarn released a wave of energy that pushed Makron away from him.

'Sorry, I didn't want to do this but I'm taking over for now.' Aria's voice rang out in his mind as Rokarn clutched his head.

A pair of angelic wings unfurled from his back as each feather was created from an array of runes.

Clasping his hands together, a silver spear of light materialised in front of him.

Pulling back his arm, he threw the spear.

*BANG!!!!

Appearing behind Shiro in an instant, the barrier was shattered to pieces.

"Trying to target the younger generation while I'm still around? Fat chance!" Makron shouted out as he threw his own spear of darkness that barely managed to push Rokarn's spear off course.

"Demon God, this is beyond you now. If you continue to interfere I will be forced to eliminate you." Aria warned as she had hijacked Rokarn's body.

"Since when did you transform into a woman? But regardless, I'm not leaving. This old man has decided to look after this lass until my grand daughter has arrived. I don't plan to go back on my word." Makron smiled as a wave of energy was suddenly launched towards him.

Feeling his instincts scream out, he quickly activated one of his skills and parried the attack.

*PUCHI!!!!

Seeing the attack go through his guard like it was nothing, Makron frowned as he quickly healed himself.

"Final warning, leave or die." Aria warned as she teleported behind Shiro who had trusted her back to Makron.

"Final response, I ain't leaving until my grand daughter has arrived." Makron replied as he grappled her from behind.

Twisting his body, he threw her away from Shiro before kicking Aria in the chest.

"Don't worry I'll protect your back while you do this." Makron reassured as Shiro nodded her head.

"You don't know what you're doing." Aria narrowed her eyes and conjured up 4 floating lances of light. Sending them towards Makron, she watched as he reinforced his body, allowing himself to take all the hits despite seeing what one attack had done earlier.

However, that question was soon answered as all of the damage he took was healed up. Radiant energy coursed through his body, transforming to demonic energy that empowered his physique.

Holding his breath, Makron flickered in front of Aria and grabbed her by the head.

Pulling his arm back, he punched towards her face but his punch was blocked by a barrier.

"If you don't want my mercy then die." Aria narrowed her eyes.

A tier 8 magic circle appeared on her spear as golden chains appeared around Makron, holding him in place.

But before she could fire, all of the mana disappeared from her body.

Stumbling for a second, Aria looked towards Shiro who had just finished taking over this domain.

"Aria." Shiro greeted with a frown.

Waving her finger, Makron was teleported out of his chains and appeared next to her.

"Shiro." Aria replied as Shiro started to walk towards her.

"I'll be honest. At first I thought our relation was limited to the Light Hero being your proxy and husband. Care to explain why your fear is apparently me or do I have to kill you to get that answer?" Shiro asked as she summoned Silvanis to her side.

"You know you're incapable of killing me right now." Aria narrowed her eyes and sent a wave of attacks towards her using divine energy.

Snapping her fingers, Shiro created portals just before they hit her, teleporting them to the otherside of the domain.

"Yes, but it's just a matter of when. There will come a time for me to kill you and that goes for your husband too. I have quite the vendetta against you two. However, since you don't want to tell me about our relationship then I suppose I'll have to find out later."

"Perhaps. But that's only if you get a chance." Aria said as she suddenly teleported in front of Shiro.

Seeing this, Shiro didn't even blink and opened a hole in the domain.

Suddenly, a pillar of dark energy crashed down, forcing Aria to jump back.

"I hope I'm not late to the party." A familiar voice laughed out as Shiro smiled.

"Nope, you're just in time."
