Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Dodging his grabs and slams which covered most of the arena, Shiro tried her best to buy some time so that she could let her arm recover.

However, the giant seemed to be intelligent as he continued to force her to overexert herself so that she worsened her injuries, making it harder to heal.

There was the option of flying up but that only makes it easier for him to try to burn her to a crisp as well as gaining the option of eating her while she was in mid air. Therefore, Shiro stayed on the ground when she could. Narrowly dodging another strike, Shiro understood that this couldn't go on since the longer she waited, the more tired she'd become.

Analysing his body, she understood that this skin was extremely tough so she'll need to aim for the orifice on his face. That way, she can attack him from the inside as that was weaker than his skin.

But there was the problem that she can't use her bow if her left arm is injured. While she could try to fire it with the help of her leg like what happened against the minotaur, it would reduce her speed dramatically and allow the giant to kill her in one go.

Gritting her teeth, she decided to save Spirit Nature for later since that was her trump card. If she used it now, it would cause her to fail the main tower. Unless she absolutely needed to, she wasn't going to use her spirit nature.

Summoning her sword, she threw it towards his arm before pulling herself up.

If she was on his arm, it removes one of his means of attack and makes it easier for her to buy time. Plus, if he injures himself, it'll be the cherry on top.

Just as she landed on his arm, a giant shadow loomed over her as he didn't hesitate to try to crush her.

Dashing forwards towards his biceps, Shiro managed to dodge his attack narrowly.

Throwing her sword at the arm that he used to attack, she used it as a pivot to swing herself.

As the giant lifted his hand, Shiro used this momentum to swing around to his back.

Grabbing his hair, Shiro narrowed her eyes and summoned her spear.

Piercing towards the back of his head, her arm became a little numb when her spear failed to stab through his scale.

Hopping off the back of his head, Shiro dodged his attack again.

Understanding her current situation, Shiro couldn't help but imagine herself as a tiny fly annoying the hell out of this giant as he was failing to land a single hit on her.

With Shiro being able to dodge every attack that he threw at her, the giant glared at her with fury as the flames in his eyes burned brighter.

Watching him open his mouth, Shiro understood that he wanted to use the breath attack again.

Now that she had slightly more time, she quickly swung herself behind him and created her layers of stone walls again. This time, since she wasn't in the centre of the breath, she should have an easier time in surviving this unharmed.

As the flames enveloped the arena, her guess was right as it was now much easier to fend off the flames compared to before.

However, what she didn't expect was the giant flexing his muscles and shattering her stone walls the moment the fire disappeared.

". . . Can you not break my defences with just the power of muscle contraction? It's rather rude. I know you're probably single since you've been stuck in that portal prison? Of sorts but surely you don't need to impress the pretty sisters outside this barrier now? They're pretty but the size just doesn't match you know? You'd kill the poor girls." Shiro said while dashing around the arena.

Glancing down at the portal which he climbed out of, Shiro could see some chains still attached to him around the waist.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro wondered if there was anything she could do with the portal or not since she wanted to make use of every resource that she was given.

'Maybe I should jump in it?' Shiro mused to herself while dodging more of his attacks. They were currently in a situation where neither of them could kill one another as Shiro couldn't harm the giant and the giant couldn't hit Shiro.

However, this was exactly the situation that Shiro wanted since it allowed her arm to slowly heal up.

After around 10 minutes, most of the muscles were now repaired with the new skin being extremely tender and sensitive to the touch. It was as if it would rip apart and bleed from even the slightest disturbance.

Furrowing her brows at her skin that was still a little red, Shiro shrugged.

While this might be a problem for normal people, it was ok for her since she could ignore the pain.

Summoning her bow, Shiro was going to begin her counter attack.

Releasing her pent up killing intent, the giant's movement paused for a second and Shiro then summoned her spear.

The good thing about Ares' spear is that its attack and armour penetration is increased should it be thrown at high velocities. Since she had already fired her sword from her bow before, she should be able to do the same with the spear.

There was only the problem of the spear being quite long.

Notching the spear onto the string, Shiro watched as the spear tip scratched along the ground.

Forcing a smile, a soft glow radiated from the bow.

Raising her eyebrow, Shiro watched as the bow morphed into a longbow which could now house the spear without a problem.

"Good for me. I suppose for a goddess of the hunt, she'll need a bow that can use all kinds of arrows. If I squint hard enough a spear is just a massive arrow." Shiro muttered with a shrug.

Jumping back, she pulled as hard as she could on the bow.

Exploding with a deep red aura, the spear was raring to go.

Aiming the spear towards the eye, Shiro let go of the string.

*BANG!!!!!

Sending the spear flying, Shiro was surprised by the force that it generated since some of the ground besides her had been shattered by the impact.

Seeing this, the giant furrowed his brows and raised his hand.

*KRRRRR!!!!

Clashing against the hand, sparks started to fly as the spear was eventually knocked aside.

Despite this however, Shiro had a grin on her face.

After all, the spear managed to pierce the giant's hand and some blood could be seen rolling down his hand.

Now that she had inflicted an injury on him, no matter how small, she understood that he could be injured and subsequently killed.

Resummoning the spear next to her, Shiro fired it once more while making sure not to stay in the same spot.

Seeing this, the sisters became excited since things had looked grim before. She wasn't able to injure him at all while a single fire breath had rendered her arm useless. But now that she had found a way to harm him, it could mean that victory was going to follow suit.

As for Tenma, he was jealous and as Tricia had predicted, he was indeed thinking it was all because of her weapons that she could do this. If it wasn't for the weapons, she wouldn't even be able to harm him.

'If she didn't have those weapons, she wouldn't be arrogant like this.' Tenma thought to himself.

[Well if it wasn't for her capabilities, she wouldn't have gotten them anyways.] A deep voice chuckled but no one could hear it.

'What capabilities. She just got lucky.' Tenma clicked his tongue.

[Tsk tsk, denial huh? No matter. She's going to die anyways. Though why didn't you attempt this test? You could be getting my help inside right now but instead you're here watching her do this.] the voice asked.

'There were too many risks. If the monster couldn't be harmed that was essentially delivering myself on a platter to be eaten.' Tenma replied.

[And that's the difference between you two. She can take risks and has the capability to figure out the problem and keep herself alive. You can't take that risk since you fear death.]

'Are you saying she doesn't fear death?'

[I think she does but she has the confidence and skill to elude death. Why else do you think she can go in without any information and stay alive till this point?] The voice laughed as Tenma only stayed silent and watched carefully.
