Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 1124 Strength and Technique

Chapter 1124 Strength and Technique

Seeing half of his army get eradicated, Rokarn was silent. His fist tightened around the grip of his sword.

The God Slayer was demonstrating her power but it was not enough. After knowing what Aria did, he was glad to see that she was this powerful but alas, it still wasn’t enough.

Should he fulfil their promise, the God Slayer would die.

’Show me more, show me your power.’ Rokarn thought to himself. At this point, his inner voice was close to begging.

"All units! By the name of Rokarn, lay down your life and bring Chaos!" Rokarn shouted out, pointing his sword towards Shiro’s party.

Suddenly, purple aura exploded out of the monsters as each of them seemed to lose their mind. Charging forth without care for their safety, spells were hurled at random.

Crashing against the multitude of layers that both Shiro and Silvia had laid down, fractures started to form.

Surprised by their attack, Shiro turned her gaze towards the mages that were casting spells.

"Chen Yu! Prepare yourself!" Shiro shouted out over the mic.

Before Chen Yu could even respond, he realised that he was now thrown into the group of mages that were about to break the barrier.

"Tsk! At least give me more than a second to prepare!" Chen Yu complained as he summoned his dagger.

Mutilating the first mage he saw, he stepped on their body and propelled himself to the next.

While Chen Yu was slaughtering the mages, Shiro reinforced the barrier.

"Attie, I want you to help your grandpa and Li Jian. Keep them safe with Nimue. We won’t charge at Rokarn just yet since he seems content with just watching for now. Let him watch, we’ll get rid of his army and focus him down later." Shiro asked as water materialised near her. Transforming into Nimue, the two disappeared from their spot and made their way towards Koji

With two of them protecting her father and Li Jian, Shiro turned her focus towards the monsters who felt the most dangerous.

Seeing several figures viewing the battle as though they were generals, three of which charged towards Shiro.

"I’ll help you deal with them." Syradil said as Shiro nodded her head.

Transforming back into her humanoid self, she was about to attack when a figure appeared in front of her.

"No you won’t, you’ll be dealing with someone else."

Widening her eyes, Syradil raised her arm to block the monster’s fist.

Just as Shiro was about to interfere, a swirling black spear blocked her path.

Immediately backing off since her instincts were telling her that the spear was bad news, Shiro turned towards the one who threw that spear.

Before she could even quip about his armour or looks, two others charged at her.

Immediately summoning two swords to parry their attacks, Shiro was forced to take a few steps back.

"Damn you guys are really ruthless huh? I suppose you don’t like the fact that I helped kill your friends." Shiro forced a smile while slamming her hand down. However, before she could cast anything, she felt something restricting her body and stopped her spell.

Widening her eyes, she looked past the two that were now charging towards her and saw a small figure staring at her with one eye open. He had his fingers in a frame that pointed at her.

’Must be a skill that seals the movement and prevents spells from activating.’ Shiro thought with a frown.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro reached into her inventory and pulled out several pre-prepared needles that she had just in case.

If there was a situation where she had to avoid someone detecting the fact that she was using mana, she would use these needles that she made before.

Stabbing one of the needles into her body, all mana within and around her disappeared.

With the spell forcefully broken, the mage at the back paused in shock.

Before he could call the two others back, Shiro removed the needle and started to regenerate her mana

Adjusting her grip, Shiro activated Soul Maiden and used her lightning element.

Twisting her body, her two blades cleaved into the bodies of the generals.

Just as the mage was about to reactivate his spell, Shiro flicked her wrist and sent a needle towards his eye.

Quickly ducking down to avoid the needle, he watched as she grabbed the right arm of one of the generals and dislocated it with a kick to the armpit.

Flipping back, she avoided the attack of the second general and grabbed his head.

Narrowing her eyes, she exploded a pocket of mana behind her in order to increase her speed.

Reinforcing her body, she slammed her knee into his spine, snapping it in half.

*PUCHI!!!!

Nanobots exploded out from his stomach as they had chewed through his body the moment slammed her knee into his back.

Latching onto the first general that had his arm dislocated, the nanobots shredded him to pieces.

In the short moment it took him to dodge the needle, Shiro had killed two of his comrades. Taking a step back, he clasped his hands together and chains appeared around Shiro, holding her in place.

"Is this what you call a control spell?" Shiro stared at him with cold eyes.

Little by little, her blond hair that was a result of her Soul Maiden form turned white as cold mist spread out with Shiro in the centre.

*PING!!!

Breaking apart the chains with ease, Shiro massaged her wrist and aimed her finger at the mage.

"!!!"

Suddenly, his instincts were overwhelmed with the urge to run as he turned around.

However, just as he did, he realised he could no longer feel his arms or legs.

Looking down, he saw that everything but his torso and head was frozen in place.

Grabbing his head, Shiro didn’t say anything and shattered to pieces.

Turning towards Rokarn who was staring at her, Shiro frowned.

’Surely he would be making a move by now. Why is he still watching?’ Shiro thought to herself.

Forming a knife with her hand, she swung her arm down and killed the assassin that snuck up next to her without even looking at him.

"God Slayer, how do you fair against a single move of mine." Rokarn asked as he slowly raised his hand.

Slamming it down, a myriad of tier 7 magic circles surrounded Shiro.

Widening her eyes, she felt the grip of death around her neck.

Slamming her hand down, her own tier 7 magic circle expanded as hundreds of swords shot out, each enchanted with a rune that shuts down spells.

*PING!!!

Seeing that each sword would shatter upon contact, Shiro widened her eyes in shock.

If her swords were destroyed that meant he had a spell that cancelled attacks as well. With that protecting the tier 7 magic circles, it was going to be hard for her to stop it.

As the spell was about to activate, Shiro decided to gamble. Summoning Silvanis, she reinforced her body with mana.

Activating analysis to improve her perception of this spell, Shiro focused her mind.

Remembering her spar with her mother, Shiro knew that this was a good chance for her to improve before her confrontation against Rokarn. Sure there were a few other ways she could get out of this situation that she had in mind, one being cancelling the spell from the outside using her nanobots, but she needed to improve as much as she could. She knew that there was only about a 15% chance of them defeating Rokarn as they are.

Just as the spell activated, she swung Silvanis. At the same time, her eyes scanned the magic circles that composed this spell.

Pushing her mind to the limit, time seemed to slow down around her as she simulated the possible locations of the attacks.

If a normal person could see what she was seeing right now, they would be overwhelmed by how many possible points of attacks there were. There was not a single gap where she could look for safety.

However, her enhanced perception and analysis of the spell allowed her to pick out on which magic circle activated the fastest.

While she may not be able to completely defend herself, there was a chance for her to use the spell protection against itself.

’There!’

*PING!!!

Deflecting the first strike, Shiro flicked two needles through that gap and smiled.

Exploding that needle to make an empty area within this zone, she teleported to that gap and parried the next attack.

Throwing another needle through the gap that she created, Shiro continued to repeat this process during the entire bombardment.

While she was avoiding most of the strikes, she was still suffering some unavoidable damage. But it was better than getting skewered completely.

Meanwhile, Rokarn watched Shiro’s every action. Her perception, her speed and reaction. It was improving.

While it may not be as tyrannical as she had been in the past, it was a good start.

Previously, she would use pure strength to overwhelm everyone which stopped her from refining her techniques. However, she was now refining her techniques before gaining the necessary strength.

Slowly, the corner of his lips curled up into a smile.
