Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 321 Borealis Lance

Chapter 321 Borealis' Lance

"Follow the usual party formation. Silvi, put some buffs on Madi. I’ll help her grab aggro while everyone else prepare your best attacks so that we can deal some early damage!" Shiro commanded as she summoned Ataraxia and dashed towards the boss.

Flexing her fingers, she made herself an ice ramp so that she could reach it faster.

Frozen Hell – Frozen Slumber!

Raising up her spare hand, she narrowed her eyes and activated her skill.

*KRRRRRR!!!!

Tens of tier 3 ice chains shot out of the circles and wrapped around Galia’s body.

However, before the party could rejoice about her skill, Galia only smiled and swung his spear.

*PING!!!!!

With a single swing, he managed to shatter the chains to pieces causing a hail of ice chunks.

"Tch." Clicking her tongue, Shiro narrowed her eyes.

’Since I now have the monster skill rejuvenation, I can be a little more upfront with my mana usage.’ She thought to herself while controlling the ramp to dodge one of Galia’s attacks.

Glancing over at her status board, she decided to use her newly upgraded Celestial Raiment EX.

Choosing ice as the base element, the ambient mana rushed towards Shiro’s body.

*KRRRRRR!!!!!!!

A blizzard suddenly appeared in the area, turning the already ruined city into a frozen landscape.

Controlling the blizzard so that it didn’t affect her party, Shiro glanced at her own body and noticed that she had hardly changed.

There was no new armour but rather, her aura had been changed and amplified.

’Hmm... I feel like I can rival the power of tier 4 spells. I wonder if I can cast them now?’ She mused to herself while raising up her hand.

*BOOM!!!!

A four layered tier 3 magic circle expanded within an instant and shot spiked chains towards Galia. This time, they didn’t attempt to wrap around him but instead pierced his body and tried to pull each of his limbs off.

While this was happening, Madison used her taunt skill on the boss and used Defence Demon Knight mode. In addition to this, she used her newest skill.

"Avatar!" Madison commanded with a grin.

A 5 meter tall illusionary version of herself appeared as she had it charge towards the boss with a shield bash. This skill was mainly used to secure aggro since it had a small duration.

*BOOM!!!!!!!

Crashing her shield against Galia’s body, Madison was able to push him back by several steps.

"Fire your spells!" Shiro shouted out since both she and Madison had the boss on lockdown.

Hearing her command, the party nodded.

Both Lisandra and Yin spread their wings and sent aerial bombardments towards the boss while Lyrica and Chen Yu dashed up his body and left countless lacerations across the surface of Galia’s body.

As for Aarim, she finished setting up a peak tier 3 formation as hundreds to perhaps even thousands of meteorites fell from the sky.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Guiding them to hit the boss, Aarim was able to take off a rather decent chunk of the boss’s health.

’Hou? Seems like her damage with her spells is pretty big.’ Shiro thought with a smile.

Seeing everyone doing a decent amount of damage to the boss, Shiro wasn’t about to get left out.

"Since I got a new skill called Borealis’ Lance, I might as well use it on you." She said with a grin.

Activating the skill, she felt her MP drain at an incredible pace.

*KRRRRR!!!

"sss!" Flinching slightly from the cold, Shiro looked at her hand in shock. The fact that the skill had even frozen a portion of her own body, which should be resistant to cold, was a ridiculous notion. While she may be a Sylph Queen right now, her foundation still belonged to that of a snow girl.

When the hell has anyone heard of a snow girl being frozen by her own skill as a side effect!?

Channelling the skill for a short moment, heavy clouds gathered above the city.

A file of information appeared in her mind as Shiro understood how to use the skill.

Shifting her hand into a fist, a fake illusionary image of the Borealis’ Lance appeared in her hands.

"Freeze under the might of winter!" Shiro commanded as she gritted her teeth in order to resist the cold.

Throwing the fake lance towards the boss, the clouds parted to show a giant ice lance that was causing a blizzard to form behind it.

*BANG!!!!!!!!!

Before anyone realised, the lance had already pierced the boss through the chest and sent a wave of chains out of the wound. Not only did the chains wrap around Galia’s body but the ends also embedded themselves deeply into the group, making it extremely hard for them to be pulled out.

"URAHHHH!!!!!" Crying out in pain, Galia tried to grab hold of the lance only to see his hand freeze over instantly.

With each chain freezing the area around it, the entire arena had been turned into a prison for the boss.

As for Shiro, she was currently withstanding the skill’s backlash.

Her skin was pale as ice formed on the surface of her skin.

"Fuu...." Breathing out a mouthful of cold air, Shiro furrowed her brows.

’For a skill like this, it’ll do more damage to me the stronger my opponent. Much like Frozen Slumber, I’ll need to concentrate and use more mana should the target be harder to freeze. Seems like I’ll need to build up some more ice resistance if I want to use a more powerful version of Frozen Slumber.’

Shaking her head, Shiro looked back at the boss.

Despite the magnitude of her skill, the party had long acclimated to her achievements to the point of which they’re not even surprised anymore.

Spells and skills continuously bombarded the boss while Shiro kept him wrapped in her chains.

No matter how he tried to break out, the spell stayed strong.

However, with each passing moment, more and more of Shiro’s body would freeze.

"Do as much damage as you can! I can’t keep this skill up for too long!" She shouted out.

Despite the boost of MP regen with her passive skill, the drain of Boreas’ Lance still used more MP than what was restored.

"Got it!" Lyrica shouted back.

Now that she knew the skill was coming to an end, Lyrica used all of the strength boost skills that she had other than berserk skills.

A soft golden aura spread across the surface of her sword as she dashed up the side of the boss and arrived at his face.

"Sorry about this." Lyrica said and twisted her body.

Slashing several times in a blink of an eye, she sunk her sword deep into Galia’s eye and shredded it into a pulp.

Blood oozed from his eye socket as Lyrica crawled in and continued her assault. The best case scenario would be that she was able to make her way into his brain but she needed to be careful. After all, there was a small chance that she may be trapped in there.

"PESTS!!" Stomping his foot down, Galia forcefully broke Shiro’s spell and waved his spear into the air. Slamming it back down, a tier 4 magic circle spread out from under his feet.

Quickly throwing a copy of Ataraxia that was enhanced by Celestial Path, Shiro watched as the first ring of the spell was broken apart.

’Tch, only set it down by one tier huh? Guess that’ll work for now.’ Through though with disappointment.

Since she was still recovering from the backlash of having her skill forcefully broken, she couldn’t cancel out the whole magic circle with her Celestial Path.

"Knock him out of his casting phase! I’ve already weakened his skill so that it’s only tier 3! Also, Lyrica! Get out of there!" Shiro shouted out.

Following her others, Lisandra and Yin charged towards Galia and slammed their spells into his head.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Making him take a single step back, Shiro noticed the magic circle fluctuate.

"Keep it up!"

"So are all the preparations done?" Neldor asked his assistant with a smile.

"Yes. Negotiations have been successful and we’ve received some man power to help us fight against your third brother. We’re only waiting for your orders now."

"Good. We’ll see what second brother says first. Otherwise, if he just sits by the side and watches as we take out the third, it would be akin to doing his work for him." Neldor chuckled.

Now that he had the last bit of support that he needed, he could finally take out his brothers and become the king of the country.

Taking a final look at the plans, he smiled lightly before leaning back on his chair.

’If things go well, this war should be sorted out in a week or two.’
