Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Making their way through the labyrinth, they were ambushed a few times by ghost-like figures who wielded scythes but they were easily dealt with.

With Madison at the front of the party along with Chen Yu, she was able to taunt the enemy before they could focus the backline.

Since the monsters were unable to target the backline, they were open to lethal attacks that could end them in a single swipe.

Looking at the party's performance, Shiro nodded her head in satisfaction. Especially the teamwork between Chen Yu and Madison. One would spot the enemy quickly while the other taunted the moment they're discovered.

Comparing it to the hero party that she was in before, Shiro had to admit that the girls were making large improvements while she wasn't watching.

'All we need now is probably an enchanter or some sorts and a full party will be made. Helion is acting as a berserker of sorts right now with his axe but he can double as a tank.' Shiro thought to herself while a figure suddenly appeared above her.

Before anyone could say anything, Shiro snapped her fingers as 7 copies of Athera appeared and shredded the monster to pieces and scattered him into the wind.

"…Never mind, I should worry about the monsters when they target you." Madison shrugged.

Regardless of where Shiro stood, she was akin to a tactical nuke that was ready to be fired. Try to attack her and the bomb will go off. Ignore her and the bomb will also set off. It was a lose-lose situation for the monsters.

"Well he interrupted my thoughts so naturally, I had to teach him a lesson." Shiro chuckled.

"Right then, now that I've seen a bit of your capabilities, you want to see mine?" She asked with a smile.

"Erm… no thanks. Because I know that a 'bit' of your capabilities means that every trap and monster in the first part will be erased." Madison shook her head as the rest of the party agreed.

"True." Shiro laughed since that was indeed what she was planning. Making their way through the labyrinth, they soon arrived in front of the giant cathedral. From within the dark building, they could hear ominous chanting paired with a rather… creepy organ sound that echoed through the area.

"Well doesn't that sound pleasant?" Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Mn, it's going to be more creepy inside the cathedral. Anyways, Silvi, give us some buffs please, we're going to get the motes as fast as we can." Lyrica smiled as Silvia nodded her head.

Twirling the staff in her hands, she slammed it against the ground and a golden aura wrapped around everyone in the party.

Snapping her fingers, a tier 4 magic circle expanded out from their feet as another buff was applied, giving the golden aura a green hue.

Repeating this process two more times, Shiro watched as her stats increased explosively for the next hour.

"I thought we needed an enchanter but it seems like you got this under wraps." Shiro chuckled.

"Of course. It's not like I only know healing spells after all. I do my research on spells from other classes so that I can manually construct them without the system." Silvia smiled.

Pushing open the giant set of doors, Madison cracked her neck as she glared at the figure kneeling in the centre of the room.

She was surrounded by corpses that seemed to writhe in tandem with her chant.

Looking at the walls of this place, Shiro noticed that it was entirely made from flesh as countless mouths and eyes could be seen. Seeing the mouths, she finally understood that the organ sound originated from these mouths.

Despite the outside of the cathedral looking rather normal, the inside was akin to the stomach of a beast. The flesh would pulse from the hymns as the party readied themselves.

Just as they readied themselves, the countless eyes snapped towards their position as the woman in the centre started to stand up.

"Why have you come to disrupt this sacred ritual?" She asked, slowly turning around. Even though her face was obscured by her hood, the party could sense the killing intent in her eyes.

Without saying anything, Chen Yu faded into the shadows since his main job was to locate the motes and transfer it to everyone.

"Because it ain't scared at all!" Madison taunted. Activating her skill, her body charged at the nun like a battering ram.

*BANG!!!

Crashing against her body, Madison slammed the nun into the walls.

Just as the nun slammed against the flesh wall, her body sunk deep into the flesh as her voice rang out from the mouths around the area.

"Then I shall exterminate you."

*CLANG!!!

Clashing against Madison's shield, a giant scythe erupted out from the ceiling. The woman's body was now elongated with her robe in tatters. Her face was still covered by the hood but they could see a single bloodshot eye glaring at them with anger.

Grabbing the handle of the scythe with her thin bony fingers, the woman crawled on the ground and approached the party.

Despite her movements looking like they were in slow motion, she was in fact very fast.

Quickly raising her shield, Madison managed to block the strike a second time before pivoting on her foot. Twisting her body, she slammed the face of her shield against the woman.

Knocking her back by a few steps, Madison activated a second taunt skill. This time, the woman's killing intent was entirely focused on Madison.

"I've got her locked on me!" Madison called out, raising her defence stat with her skills.

"Got it!" Lyrica nodded.

Crouching down slightly, she grabbed her sword and flickered from her spot. Reappearing above the woman, she slashed the blade along the spine.

Unfortunately, no blood was drawn and all they could see was the robes being damaged slightly.

"Tch." Clicking her tongue, Lyrica vaulted over the nun's body before cleaving her sword upwards against her stomach.

Forcing her body up ever so slightly, she glanced towards Lisandra and Aarim.

Seeing this, the duo sprang into action.

Unfurling her wings, Lisandra dashed into action as light swords appeared around her. Flicking her wrist, the swords clashed against the boss's limbs, forcing her to lose her footing while a tier 4 magic circle expanded out above her.

Suddenly, the gravity around the woman seemed to increase dramatically as her body crashed against the ground, causing a small crater to be formed while the light swords dug deep into her body, drawing some blood. 

*Whistle~

'You can really tell that they're experienced with working together can't you?' Shiro smiled.

{Of course. After all, in dangerous dungeons, they had to rely on their teammates. After fighting between life and death for a long time, they're bound to know each other's habits and how to combo their attacks together.} Nimue nodded her head.

'I suppose I shouldn't slack off either. Should I use my sword or my gun?'

{Neither. Both your weapons will probably draw aggro due to their ridiculous damage numbers. Why don't you use your fists for now?}

'Hm… why not, that seems fun.' Shiro agreed.

Cracking her knuckles, nanobots swarmed around her hands as she created a pair of fighter gloves for herself. Imbedding some fighter skill ch.i.p.s into the gloves, she enhanced her strength stat along with a few fighter passive skills.

Adjusting her footwork slightly, she launched her body towards the woman while cracking the ground beneath her.

Appearing in front of the woman, Shiro grinned as her eyes seemed to glow with an ominous red.

Stomping the ground in front of her, she forced the woman up slightly before uppercutting her in the jaw.

*CRACK!!!!

The sound of bones cracking could be heard as her body was pushed out of the magic circle. Crashing against the ceiling, Shiro noticed that all the killing intent seemed to focus on her.

"Eh? I drew aggro with just a single punch???" Shiro question with confusion.

Helion who was about to slam his axe towards the woman froze up in surprise at Shiro's sudden burst of physical prowess while Madison only face palmed.

"Your attack is ridiculous…." She muttered.

"Don't worry, I have a perfect skill for this." Shiro waved her hand as she created an amulet.

Embedding the amulet with a ranger skill, she took a step back before activating Play Dead.

Falling on the ground, the aggro was transferred back to Madison.

Once this happened, Shiro stood back up with a smile.

"See? No problems at all." She grinned.

Unfortunately, with her 'revival', the aggro returned to her once more.

". . ."

Taking a deep breath, Madison handed Shiro her shield.

"Why don't you be the tank. I still have my attack mode after all." Madison forced a smile as she pulled out her great axe.

"Sure why not." Shiro shrugged as this was probably for the best.

Snapping her fingers, nanobots surged around her and created a suit of metal around her body.

Choosing the blueprint of Bastion MK 2, her current armour was one that banked heavily on tanking hits. The only problem was that it had essentially 0 mobility.

Looking at the heavy metal armour that appeared around Shiro, Madison looked down at her own armour before cursing softly.

"F*ck it, I'm taking it out on the boss." She grumbled.
