Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 1196 - Slowing Down The New Age



Suddenly, for a brief moment, the mana flow of the world halted. As though transported into a vacuum, no more mana flowed into the world and the transformations were stopped.

The land stopped splitting apart, monsters stopped appeared from the gaps. Every mana based being in the world felt suffocated as everyone without fail glanced up at the sky to see the giant magic array that now encompassed the world, dying the sky in its glow.

Hovering in space, Shiro started to make some adjustment to her array so that it would let mana flow like usual while making sure it does not overload the world. Make it so that the change was gradual rather than instantaneous. That way, the destruction the change causes should be minimalised.

The main problem with the new age is how it transforms the planet within the span of a day. This kind of transformation was disastrous and halts the chance of survival for most people. If the change was gradual, even those that aren't prepared will have a chance.

While this may help some that see her as an enemy, she did not mind. Those foolish enough to confront her will sign their own death warrant. But for those that want a second chance, she'll be glad to offer them a path.

Clasping her hands together, Shiro carved a spell in front of her.

Similar to the layers of protection that was there before the fight with Rokarn, this will ensure the progression into the new age is slow.

"My my, this I cannot allow." A voice rang out behind her as Shiro felt a chill down her back.

Widening her eyes, Shiro immediately activated a rune which stopped time around her.

Quickly jumping forward, she wanted to make some distance.

*PUCHI!!!!

However, her jump was cut short as a blade pierced her chest.

Grabbing the sword, Shiro coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Immediately activating a few berserk skills to give herself a boost, she elbowed the blade, snapping it in half before releasing a torrent of energy that pushed back everything around her.

The magic array around the world fluctuated but eventually stabilised itself.

Glaring at the person who stabbed her through the chest, Shiro could see the sword repair itself and recognised it to be nanobots.

"You… You're from the side of creation." Shiro squeezed out as she could feel the nanobots trying to destroy her body.

Taking a deep breath, she halted its advances by freezing them within her body.

Looking at the figure in front of her, Shiro tired her best to memorise their signature but it was completely foreign. Even if she tried to remember, the information would disappear in an instant.

Wearing a pure white robe with golden armour pieces around the chest, waist and arms, the woman reconfigured her sword into a pair of gloves. On her face was a silver mask that blocked any attempt at trying to see past it. However, Shiro could see a pair of bright red eyes and black hair.

"Hm, shame, I was hoping to kill you in one go but the world is already rejecting me. However, I will finish my task." The woman narrowed her eyes at Shiro.

"So die, and may your rest be peaceful."

Closing her eyes, the woman clenched her fist.

*PUSHI!!!!

Hundreds of swords pierced out of her body as the nanobots transformed into swords.

Runes started to appear as chains linked around her body, stopping her from moving.

Trying to muster up the strength to activate a skill, Shiro realised that all of the energy was being drained from her body.

Walking up to Shiro, the woman grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up.

"Trust me, the world would be better without me or you."

Suddenly, a rift opened up behind the woman as a blade of light shot forth.

Wanting to put up a barrier so that she could kill Shiro, the woman noticed a portal opened up in front of her and Shiro was dragged through.

Furrowing her brows, she slammed her hand down, shattering both portals before attempting to grab Shiro once more.

However, two swords shot out of the void and attempted to pierce the woman's arms.

"Tsk." Clicking her tongue, the woman ducked down to avoid the swords and sent out a chain to grab Shiro.

"Who the hell do you think you are! Attacking my mum in front of me!" A voice rang out followed by the sharp cry of a bird.

Tearing through the void, the woman could see a purple and blue phoenix along with a woman on her head.

Snapping the nanotech chains apart with her beak, Yin transformed back into her human form and stood in front of Shiro.

"Bah! Disgusting." She spat out as her eyes were full of anger.

Flicking her hair back, Yin was now wearing a black and purple jacket that seemed to be made from flames. Her hair now had hues of purple and blue mixed in the black.

"Always on about food. Focus on this b*tch who tried to kill mum." Lisandra said as she summoned another blade in her hand.

Similar to Shiro, her hair was now pure white which contrasted against the void black wings that sprouted from her back.

Clad in black and silver armour, Lisandra glared at the unfamiliar woman in anger.

"Hmmm, more are approaching this area." The woman muttered before standing up straight.

"I return soon First Born, your time is limited." She warned before disappearing with a flash of light.

Once they were sure that the danger had passed, the two quickly supported Shiro who was still restrained by the strange runes that continue to siphon her energy at an alarming rate.

Furrowing her brows, Lisandra tried to remove the restrains but Shiro shook her head.

"Don't touch them. They're made from creation energy so it'll only hurt you if you touch them. Don't worry, I got it covered." Shiro smiled as circuits appeared on her arm.

Gritting her teeth, she reached towards the blade and tapped it with her finger.

In an instant, circuits spread through all of the foreign nanobots that was floating through her body.

'Error, help me upload these commands without changing anything else. I can't exactly do it with them draining my energy.'

Without saying anything else, Error started to follow Shiro's command as he started to overwrite the code within the nanobots.

Unfortunately, there were very little he could do as any changes he made would be erased and reverted to their previous state. With no other choice, he put them into a stasis for now so but Shiro will need to constantly funnel a majority of her mana to keep it from breaking the seal.

Currently, the nanobots were still hostile to her and would attempt to kill her the moment they're out of stasis. But with the help of Error, she should be able to extract a small portion in order to study it.

Taking a deep breath, Shiro closed her eyes and started to control the nanobots with Error's help. She couldn't remove it from her body as it had already partially fused to her body. However, she could reshape it so that it was easier for her to move. After all, moving around with blades through her chest was rather annoying.

Transforming it into a bracelet that continued to siphon her mana, Shiro healed her body with the help of Lisandra.

"Fuu…. With that problem now dealt with somewhat, it's good to have you back. How are you feeling? Does your body hurt?" Shiro asked as she scanned Lisandra's body.

"It's fine mum, we can talk more when we get back." Lisandra smiled as she hugged Shiro.

"There's plenty to talk about. Though if it wasn't for the fact that I felt some weird reptile with the same power as me I wouldn't have located mum so quickly. If we didn't come in time you would have died." Yin pouted as Shiro chuckled and patted her head.

"Don't worry, I had it covered somewhat." Shiro grinned as her other plan would be to overload her body with energy through stacking berserk skills then activating her Limit Break from the Pandora set of skills to give her that extra boost that she needed. Who knows, if that didn't work, she had other skills she could use.

She was just glad that she didn't need to resort to those methods.

Hugging them both, Shiro made her way back with the two of them.
