Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Gritting her teeth, Shiro took several deep breaths as she tried her best to stabilise everything.

Now that Error had infused the weapon with his power, she had to make sure that it didn't just blow up and kill everyone here.

She had a full scan of the weapon within her mind and right now red alerts were appearing left and right but that was fine. Most of these alerts told her that the weapon will 100% break after the first firing.

What concerned her was the alerts that warned about the energy balance within the weapon.

Clasping her hands together, Shiro crafted a tier 8 magic circle around the weapon so that it could contain the energy even if it becomes a bomb since they can redirect that energy into the first shot. She just needed to make sure that the blast didn't drag them in too.

Setting up layers upon layers of barriers, Shiro glanced down at Earth and closed her right eye.

Creating a focusing lens, she looked towards the twin peaks, hoping to catch a glimpse of the artifact. She could see the portal opening but she had to be patient. Should she fire it upon the portal, there's a higher chance of the energy being dispersed into its realm rather than harming the relic.

However, she became nervous after seeing the Dragon Empress make her way towards the relic.

Thinking about it for a moment, she decided to create an avatar to delay things for a bit. Before the relic appeared, she couldn't allow the Dragon Empress to reach it.

Materialising her avatar on Asharia, Shiro moved her body around for a moment before nodding.

While her power was much weaker right now since most of her focus was the weapon, it was still roughly the same power as her base form. This was practically the avatar of a tier 8 being after all.

Without waiting another second, she teleported out of the city and dashed towards the Twin Peaks.

She could sense several battles happening at the same time but that wasn't her concern right now. Her main focus was stopping the Empress from reaching the relic.

'To the East, the Fallen are currently ambushing Queens. They'll enter the range of the Chimera Empress. I should send them a small reminder that they should probably back off from that area.' Shiro thought to herself as she snapped her finger. Those that had her weapons would get a screen appear in front of them that showed a map of the area along with where the two Empresses are.

Since Raoul had already succ.u.mbed to the system, there wasn't anything else she could do. This was her last gift towards a person that could have become a decent Hero.

Thinking about what happened to Jonas and Raoul, Shiro couldn't help but shake her head. She hadn't told Silvia about what had happened yet since she needed her to focus for now.

'Well she has Chen Yu. He should be able to comfort her for now since Jonas was like a father to her.'

Increasing her pace, Shiro could sense that the Dragon Empress was approaching the Corrosive Aura. Knowing the danger the aura possessed, Shiro guessed that she probably won't be entering anytime soon.

However, just as she sensed this, she paused in her movement and immediately snapped her attention towards the west. She could pick up the energy of a small group of people that had just entered her detection range. Five humans, a monster and an elf.

The Elf's signature seemed familiar but she couldn't put a finger on it. Quickly browsing through her database, she wasn't able to find a match but her senses didn't lie to her.

'If it's familiar, perhaps there was a mutation or a change.' Shiro thought to herself. Shaking her head, she'll keep an eye on them for now. Once she dealt with the Dragon Empress, she'll talk to them.

Turning back towards the Dragon Empress, Shiro was about to fly towards her when she noticed her energy disappear for a moment.

Sensing danger all around her, Shiro immediately activated boundary and summoned a nanotech sword.

Entering attack mode, she'll cut towards anything that enters her range. Just as she entered this stance, she was able to see the Dragon Empress entering her range.

Surprised at her speed, Shiro slashed towards her neck.

*CLANG!!!!

Blocking the sword with her reinforced arm, Syradil was a little surprised that the current Queen was actually able to react to her in time.

Narrowing her eyes, she tried to see Shiro's class but it was veiled under a disguise skill.

"Hou~ Not bad. You actually reacted to me in time." Syradil smiled but Shiro didn't say anything.

Jumping back, runes appeared on the sword. Focusing her mind, Shiro knew that the Dragon Empress wasn't one that she could fight while talking. Plus, most of her attention was still gathered towards the weapon.

"No talk? Are you mute? Or are you focusing?" Syradil asked with a smirk.

Flickering next to Shiro, she twisted her body and tried to kick towards her ribs. But like the first time, her kicks were blocked just in time as Shiro was able to use her sword to parry them off to the side.

Following the momentum, she slashed towards Syradil's torso.

Ducking down, Syradil dodged her blade but Shiro had guessed this and her knee slammed into her jaw.

*CRACK!!!

Surprised at the power behind her kick, Syradil widened her eyes as she was pushed back for a moment.

Holding her jaw, Syradil paused for a moment as excitement appeared in her eyes.

The current Queen harmed her!

Her combat sense was top notch, her reactions are sharp and her counters are swift. On top of all that, her power was off the charts!

"Hahahahahaha! Alright! This is more like it! Show me more!!" Syradil laughed out loud as she hadn't felt her heart beat this fast in a long time. There was hope for a good ending of the cycle!

Sensing her sudden boost in power, Shiro quickly jumped back as flames erupted out around them.

She couldn't use any of the high level skills she had since they'll burden her body and right now she didn't need that. She was already barely holding on so her skill range was limited.

Activating her Chimera Arts, she fused her lightning and rift element together as purple and red electricity flickered on her sword.

Condensing divine energy behind her, Shiro narrowed her eyes.

Phantom Path + Takemikazuchi Technique!

Disappearing in front of Syradil, she closed the gap in an instant as the blade was already cutting towards Syradil's neck.

Kietoma!

Sensing her body freeze up, Syradil's smile widened as the sword inched closer towards her neck.

If it was the previous cycles, she might not mind just letting the Queen kill her now. But since it's the final cycle, she wasn't going to just roll over and die!

*BANG!!!

Energy erupted out of her body as Kietoma was forcefully broken.

Grabbing Shiro's wrist before the sword could hit, Syradil slammed her palm into Shiro's stomach before she could even react.

*KSHHH!!!

Shattering the nanobots that created this avatar, the body was launched away as Shiro furrowed her brows.

Quickly fixing the body of this nanobot, she looked up at Syradil who was floating in the sky while looking down with a smile.

"Are you finished?" Syradil asked. She'll be disappointed if Shiro said no.

However, her passion was ignited hearing the next words.

"Far from it."

Slamming her hand down, Shiro activated her Spirit Assistance Ex.

Tiny motes of white light appeared around her as there was an abundance of tiny snow spirits surrounding this place.

Hollow Deceit!

Suddenly, nine copies of herself appeared as they all dashed towards Syradil from different directions. Each of her copies had a different element on their sword and Syradil narrowed her eyes.

Locating the real one in no time, she pinched her fingers together before firing a fire pellet.

Just as the pellet was about to hit Shiro's body, it phased through much to Syradil's surprise.

'Isn't that her real body?' Quickly sending out her senses, she realised that it was a diversion since one of the clones had flown above her. Just before the pellet hit, Shiro traded places.

Glancing up, Syradil could see a frozen sword piercing towards her.

Frozen Slumber!

Tier 6 magic circles appeared as ice chains erupted out from the air and wrapped around Syradil's body.

Seeing the layers of ice forming on her body, Syradil smiled as her aura flared up.

*URAHHHHHH!!!!!

The illusionary image of a dragon cried out in anger as all of the ice was melted in an instant. Even the sword thawed before hitting her and the water evaporated.

Looking up with a grin, Syradil wondered what else Shiro would show her.

Thankfully, she didn't need to wait long.

"I have a daughter named Yin. She's probably a bit annoyed with me since I haven't been playing with her for a while now but she has always boasted that her fire is stronger than the lizards'. Let's give that a go shall we?" Shiro's voice rang out as the rift opened, revealing Shiro with her sword being coated by a purple flame.

"To call a dragon lizard. I truly wonder who your daughter is." Syradil laughed as her own fire erupted around her body.

"She's a f*cking glutton." Shiro smirked.

*BANG!!!!
