Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

The castle was eerily quiet as Shiro kept her guard up. The main thing that they had to look out for was the mini-boss ambushing them. Especially since there were countless hiding spots from what Shiro could see.

"Why are there no monsters at all." Jonas asked with a frown.

[No idea. Maybe they're waiting in ambush near the final room.] Shiro guessed.

The worst part about a dungeon with a leader is that they're able to organise their troops. Having already experienced this with the bear leader from the first dungeon she woke up in, Shiro understood just how annoying this was. She had it easy since the bear wasn't the only monster on the floor of the dungeon so it sent out its underlings to conquer the floor first.

However, whoever was the final boss already ruled this dungeon. They had no other monsters to compete with.

Their footsteps echoed through the empty hallways as Shiro glanced at the surrounding objects. The objects in the hallway consisted of paintings, armours and some minor decorations.

At first, Shiro thought the armour was the enemy but when she had knocked one of them, she realised that they were purely decoration.

After walking for a little longer, Shiro felt something nag at her senses but she didn't know what it was. Glancing to her right, she widened her eyes when she saw that it was the same room they were just in.

*BANG!!!

Slamming her palms into the ground, which shocked the entire party, Shiro encased the enter area in ice.

*PING!

A glass-shattering sound could be heard as the party paled when they saw four blood assassins being frozen over along with 2 Blood Illusionists.

"Sh*t! We were in an illusion! Kill them!" Jonas shouted out as he swung his axe towards the assassins.

The rest of the party nodded as they were a little fearful. If Shiro hadn't frozen the illusionists and dispelled the illusion, they might have died under the attacks of the assassins.

While the party fought the assassins, Shiro took care of the illusionists. Flicking her wrist, two ice daggers shot towards the illusionist.

*DONG! DONG!

The daggers hit a translucent barrier and caused the surface to ripple slightly.

"Tsk." Clicking her tongue, Shiro dashed towards the illusionists. Narrowing her eyes, Shiro sent out her killing intent, causing the illusionists to freeze up. The sudden disruption in concentration weakened the barrier as the ice could be seen encroaching on the barrier.

Once she got close enough, Shiro twisted her body and kicked towards the barrier that was encased by her ice.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom – Counter Weight Phantom.

*BANG!

Shattering the barrier with one kick, Shiro was surprised herself.

'Wow the 15% damage and 15% suppression really does make a huge difference.' Shiro thought.

The illusionist slammed into the barrier of the other illusionist and was stunned for a short moment.

Grabbing the head of the illusionist, Shiro made an ice spike on her knee before slamming her knee into the monster's head.

*CRACK!

Breaking the skull of the illusionist, Shiro killed him with ease.

Shifting her attention to the second monster, Shiro flicked her wrist as a huge ice bear trap slammed shut on the illusionist.

*BANG!

With both of the illusionists taken care of, Shiro returned her attention to the party. There were a few injuries amongst the members but nothing serious. Sighing in relief, Shiro helped kill the remaining two assassins.

[Keep your guard up. We don't know if we'll enter an illusion again.] She typed out after killing the final assassin.

Thankfully, they had a much easier time compared to before since the armour they wore had small amounts of suppression against blood enemies. While the suppression wasn't a lot, it still helped to have that extra bit of damage.

"Yeah… I can't believe we didn't realise that we were in an illusion this entire time." Jonas said wiping away some sweat.

[We weren't in the illusion for long. Otherwise, they would have made a move a long time ago.] Shiro shook her head.

She was about to type again of her phone when she felt a sudden burst of killing intent and dropped her phone.

Quickly flicking her arms towards the back of her neck, Shiro made an ice shield that collided with a dagger.

*PING!

Since the shield was hastily created, Shiro wasn't able to block the dagger and felt it cut into her back.

"Shiro!!" Lyrica called out in shocked and swung her weapon towards the assassin that attacked Shiro.

[Blood Assassin Captain – LVL 50 BOSS]

HP: 200,000/200,000

MP: 290,000/300,000

*DANG!

The blade was easily parried by the assassin as he swung the second dagger towards Shiro.

Shiro gritted her teeth and slipped into the rift.

"Ssss!!!" Taking a sharp breath, Shiro frowned seeing her HP drop due to poison.

She exited the rift roughly next to Silvia. Without even saying a word, Silvia healed her up and dispelled the poison.

Shiro nodded as she looked towards the boss. Currently, Madison had the aggro of the boss secured while the rest of the party tried to limit the boss's movements.

Dashing forward, Shiro joined in the fight as she had a bone to pick with the assassin.

Flicking her wrist, the Blood Beast Long Sword appeared in her hands. With just the requirement of 1,000 points in STR, Shiro was able to equip it without any problems.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 2nd Phantom + 3rd Phantom + Blood Transfusion!

Shiro's body flickered forwards as she stabbed towards the assassin. Twisting his body, the assassin narrowly dodged the blade but wasn't able to avoid the edge from cutting a little bit of his skin.

However, that was enough.

The sword lit up with bright red runes as Shiro twisted her body and slashed the sword upwards.

*PSHHH!!!!

Cutting the shoulder joint of the boss, Shiro separated the boss's right arm from his body.

Her eyes flashed with a cruel light as she jammed her arm through the wound and broke the ribs. Grabbing the heart, Shiro crushed it in her hands before freezing the boss from the inside out.

Ripping her arm out of the torso, Shiro watched the assassin collapse weakly.

"Pui!" Shiro spat on his corpse disdainfully before dusting her hands of the chunks of frozen heart.

"…"

The party looked at her blankly as they didn't know how to react. Just now, they were fighting a hard battle against the boss until Shiro came over, cut the boss's arm off, plunged her hand into his torso and crushed the heart.

She made the boss look weak while in reality, it was hard to do what Shiro had done. Not only did they need sufficient power to cut the arm off, but they also need to be able to take advantage of the short gap in defence to crush the heart. And while they did all of this, they needed to make sure that they were fast in their movements or else the boss would be able to get away.

Picking up her phone, Shiro turned to the party.

[Alright, let's make our way to the final boss. These types of dungeons normally contain two or three mini bosses and one final boss.]

"Yeah. So either we have one more boss to go or we're onto the final boss." Jonas said with relief. With this, they'll finally be able to escape this god forsaken dungeon.

Silvia healed up the party completely before they started to make their way to the final room once more.

This time, they were able to get to the room without any illusions or mini bosses.

Opening the door slightly, Shiro peeked into the boss room and saw the boss on the throne.

[Blood Monarch – LVL 50 BOSS]

HP: 500,000/500,000

MP: 1,000,000/1,000,000

*BANG!

The boss flicked his fingers as the doors flung open, exposing the party.

"Why are you with the humans?" The boss suddenly said causing Shiro to widen her eyes.

Glancing over at the party, she sighed in relief seeing that they hadn't reacted to the sentence.

[Did you guys hear something?] Shiro asked. 

"Hm? Hear what?" Lyrica was confused as all they heard was the boss grunt. 

[No I thought I misheard something then. Same as always, me and Madison will tank, you guys support.] Shiro typed out as she dashed towards the boss without waiting for the party.

Brandishing her sword, she slashed towards the boss.

*CLANG!

"Traitor! Why are you standing with the humans!" The Blood Monarch said with a low growl to his voice.

"None of your business." Shiro replied as she twisted her body and kicked the boss in the chest.

"Hmph, you dare enter my domain and stand with humans. DIE!"

A portion of the boss's body exploded into blood mist, causing Shiro's foot to phase through his body.

Faded Snow Movement.

Shiro used her own skill as the boss's claw phased through her body.

Rolling across the ground, Shiro slammed her hands to the ground.

*KRRR!!!

Ice chains shot out of the ground and tried to wrap around the boss.

However, before the boss could try to dispel the chains, Madison slammed her shield into the back of the boss.

"Gah!" Stumbling forwards, the boss was wrapped up with ice chains.

Backstab!

Tempest Cross!

Piercing Thorns!

Tier 2 Magic: Hell Fire!

Different skills smashed against the boss's back, causing him to grit his teeth. Turning around, he glared at his attackers with blood shot eyes.

Bloo-

Before he could activate his skills, Shiro kicked the back of his knees before slashing his back with her sword.

"Grrr… Snow Girl!" He growled.

"Save it monarch." Shiro retorted and slammed the pommel of her sword into his jaw.

Understanding that his situation was dire, the boss bit his tongue and spat out a droplet of blood. The moment the blood touched the floor, it expanded into an eerie magic circle made from blood.

Blood Dragon Manifestation!

*BOOM!!!!!

A shockwave exploded out from the boss, sending the party crashing backwards. Flipping her body in mid air, Shiro slid on her foot before looking at the boss with a frown.

The boss had transformed into a massive dragon that stood around 5 to 10 meters tall. Blood red scales and spikes could be seen all over the dragon as there were hints of black near the edge of the scales.

Paired with the killing intent that was rolling off the boss in waves, it made him look malevolent.

Clashing killing intents with the boss, Shiro lightened up the burden on the party before stomping down heavily.

*KRRR!!!

The ground started to freeze as she froze the ground under the dragon.

*BANG!

An ice pillar shot upwards but it wasn't enough to move the dragon.

"Futile Snow Girl!" Smirking with disdain, the dragon noticed that she was currently shielding her allies.

Grinning slightly, mana gathered near the dragon's mouth.

"You've got to be kidding me." Shiro muttered and quickly turned her heels and dashed towards the party that was slightly affected by the bloodl.u.s.t.

Quickly grabbing Lyrica and Madison by the collar with her right hand, Shiro turned to Jonas' party.

Lyrica understood the situation since she could feel the mana get sucked towards the dragon.

"Grab onto Shiro!" Lyrica shouted out.

Hearing her shout, Jonas could feel her panic.

He grabbed Trace, Paul and Silvia before dashing towards Shiro.

Once she felt the party come into contact with her, Shiro entered the rift.

*BOOM!!!!!!

"GAH!" Trace screamed out in pain as they were just a little slow resulting in his left leg from the calf down being completely erased.

"Trace!" Silvia cried out in shock and quickly healed him up. The healing was a little slow as Trace was affected by blood poison status.

[We don't have a lot of time in the rift. Best thing we should do right now is to move away from here first.] Shiro typed out as they started to move away from their spot.

Since her Rift Walker skill only had a limit of 10 meters, they weren't able to move too far away.

"THERE YOU ARE!" The boss shouted out as he swiped his claws towards the party.

Shiro made a neon white orb in her hands and threw it at the claw.

*BOOM!!!

Exploding out with a mini blizzard, the claw was partially frozen over. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to shift the claw away from them.

Seeing that Shiro's move failed, Lyrica and Madison charged towards the claw. Madison raised her shield while Lyrica slashed towards the claw.

*BANG!

"GAH!" Both Lyrica and Madison was sent flying backwards from the force of the collision. However, their goal was achieved since the claw missed the party.

Looking at the situation, Shiro knew that things weren't looking good.

Trace was injured with Silvia trying her best to help him regenerate his leg. Meanwhile, the rest of the party didn't have the required strength to counter the boss's attacks.

The worst part about this was that the boss was intelligent so it knew to target the weaker party members.

However, Shiro was relieved that the boss was playing with his food. This meant that there would be a gap where she'd be able to take advantage of this weakness.

Glancing over at Lyrica and Madison, Shiro was relieved to see that they only had some HP taken off them. Thankfully, there weren't any major damages.

Frowning slightly at the fact that a few humans had caused his attack to miss, the boss narrowed his eyes.

*URAHH!!!!

A blood red magic circle expanded out from under him.

Blood domain!

Before the domain could activate, Shiro was already working on countering the spell.

Frozen Hell: Frozen Slumber!

*KRR!!!

Six magic circles appeared around the boss as chains shot out of the magic circles wrapped around the boss.

*PANG!!!

The domain was shattered before it could even activate which caused the boss to growl angrily.

However, before he could even speak, Shiro started to press her hands closer to one another.

"Freeze." She muttered coldly to increase the effectiveness of her spell.

She had to try to buy some time for Silvia to heal Trace so that he wasn't a hindrance to her.
