Chapter 782 Scanning the Mountains

Chapter 782 Scanning the Mountains

Furrowing her brows, Shiro watched as the scan of the island slowed down.

Even if she’s staying in contact with the nanobots, it was still hard to supply mana to everything without it crumbling to ash since there was no ambient mana.

However, she managed to map out the first mountain, a forest and a few caves.

"This is all that I can do so far. Any further and it’s too inefficient." Shiro said with a frown and glanced at her mana. Seeing that it was already drained by 30%, she could only sigh at how much mana she had used. Thankfully, she had her Chosen of Nature to help her out.

Flexing her fingers, she created two more wrist bands which had the map projected onto them. They can choose to expand the hologram if they want.

Looking at the map, Stanley could spot where he had entered before.

"This chamber is where I was. I also managed to obtain the dagger from here. I’m not sure if it has reset or not but if it has, we can potentially get another rainbow grade dagger in this place." Stanley said while pointing towards a small cavity within the mountain.

"I can give it a scan to see if it has reset or not. If I don’t sense anything in them there’s a high chance of it being reset." Shiro replied as Stanley nodded his head.

Watching her send out nanobots once more, a more detailed hologram of the room appeared in front of them.

Within the hologram, they could see signs of battle as Stanley recognised them to be a result of his combat against the guards.

"Never mind. Seems like they haven’t reset. Though I suppose if you could keep getting rainbow items it would be a bit ridiculous." Stanley shrugged his shoulder.

"Mn. So here are the choices. We can either start exploring the mountains or go deep underground. And I’ll be honest, I think the shard could be underground since there’s not much space above ground. I could also be wrong considering how many chambers there are and we haven’t scanned the other two mountains just yet. Since we can regenerate mana thanks to my passive, do you think it’s worth it to see if there are any other rainbow grade items in the mountains?" Shiro asked as Stanley nodded his head.

"We have a week to spend here so visiting the two mountains can be done in that time. The only reason I was forced to leave last time was because I ran out of mana for my spells. But if you are around, that problem is gone." Stanley smiled as reaching the chamber last time was quite hard since he had to make sure his spells were used to their maximum potential. This meant that he had to dodge the attacks of several guards before unleashing a barrage to kill them all.

"Have you completely explored the first mountain? Or are there more treasures to be found?" Nan Tian asked while pointing at some of the other cavities

"I’ve explored most of them. There are only a few weapons and armour pieces but they’re rather lackl.u.s.tre. If I had to describe it, it’s not worth the effort." Stanley shook his head.

"From the way it looks, there is only one main chamber and that is where the best items are stored. If we’re going to the other mountains, we should put our focus in reaching the main chamber rather than the smaller ones." Shiro suggested as the two nodded their heads.

"Anything you can tell us about the guards?" Nan Tian asked curiously.

"Hmm... they don’t use spells and they just charge at you with the intent to flatten you against the ground. If anything, I’ll need to warn you about their physical capabilities. When I was fighting them, most of my mana was used to reinforce my body so that I could actually keep up. Even if my physique isn’t as good as others, I still try to keep up so the fact that they forced me to use a lot of mana for reinforcement should give you a bit of idea. Do not hesitate to use mana for reinforcement if you feel danger." Stanley warned with a serious expression.

Nodding her head, Shiro noted her teacher’s warnings down seriously.

After all, his reinforcement magic on the body was quite impressive as it allows him to surpass the average physical prowess of most tier 5 warriors. Of course, for exceptional warriors such as her father, Stanley would have some difficulties.

Making their way to the second mountain that was slightly to the back right of the first, Shiro made sure to scan the mountain. However, just as she did this, she sensed danger and immediately retracted her hand.

*TSS!!!!!

Seeing her nanobots get fried instantly, Shiro knew that she would have been the same if she didn’t retract her hand fast enough.

"Seems like it won’t be that easy. We’ll have to explore the second mountain ourselves. I think we can only scan it once we cleared the main chamber." Shiro said as the two agreed with her theory.

"I just realised a small problem." Stanley said as Shiro and Nan Tian glanced towards him.

"All three of us are backline fighters. While you may be better at close combat than we are Shiro, I’m not keen on letting you be the front line and Nan Tian can probably agree with that." Stanley said as Nan Tian nodded his head.

"Pft, it’ll be fine. I can handle myself just fine on the front lines ok?" Shiro shrugged.

"I’ll take the front line. Shiro you can be at the back since it also means that my skill will be activated." Nan Tian said as Shiro furrowed her brows. However, Nan Tian skill did come in handy so it was probably a good idea to let him be the front line.

"Fine but I’ll be a mixed fighter then. If it gets a bit out of hand, I’ll help out with some melee combat. Otherwise I’ll stay at the back and provide covering fire." Shiro said as Nan Tian nodded his head.

"If you can group them up, I’ll erase them as quickly as I can then. Since I can regenerate my mana, I can afford to use some of my stronger spells." Stanley smiled.

With their combat plan figured out, they approached the second mountain.

". . ."

". . ."

"How should we deal with this?" Nan Tian asked as they looked towards the two large kneeling statues. Seeing the flickering eyes, they knew that they had to fight them.

Without a proper tank, it’ll be hard for them to block it even with Nan Tian’s skill.

"Obliterate it as fast as we can?" Shiro suggested as Stanley agreed.

"Since I’m tier 6 now, I can take one out myself you two combine efforts to take the other." Nan Tian said as Shiro nodded her head since that was probably the best set up for now.

"Do you know any magnification spells teach? Like these ones." Shiro asked as she created a few spell circles.

"Hmm... I do but I can probably incorporate your spells to amplify mine some more. What are you thinking about?" Stanley asked since Shiro sounded like she had an idea.

"Oh nothing much. Just an advanced rail cannon." She grinned.

Slamming her foot against the ground, nanobots surged around her as parts of her rail cannon started to appear.

Combining with one another, Stanley watched in shock as a weapon that shouldn’t even exist with their current technology was created in front of his eyes.

Jumping on the back of the rail cannon, Shiro made sure that she was comfortable in the seat before powering everything on.

Hearing the sound of gun powering up, Stanley understood what she wanted to do and prepared the magnification spells.

Seeing this, Nan Tian only smiled and snapped his finger.

Several layers of tier 6 magic circles appeared above the left guardian as their eyes stopped flashing and glowed with an ominous light.

Standing up, they wanted to approach the ground when Shiro only smirked and Activated Divine Enchantment on her Frozen Slumber skill.

Suddenly, ice chains erupted out of the space around the guards as they were frozen in place instantly. Hearing the cracking of the ice, Shiro wondered if they were going to beak out but after a few moments, they were still stationary so Shiro knew they were exposed for a clear shot.

Glancing at each other, Shiro gave Nan Tian a thumbs up, signalling that she was ready.

Nodding his head, he activated his spell as she fired her gun.

*BANG!!!!
