Nanomancer Reborn 181-190

Splitting apart one by one, Shiro was holding onto four arrows at the same time. Injecting some Dark Star element into the arrows, the tips burst into purple flames.

*TZZZZ!!!!

Lightning flickered off the body of the bow as she aimed it up into the air.

"Little Lis, I suggest getting behind me." Yin suggested.

Tilting her head in confusion, Lisandra did what Yin said.

*BANG!!!!!

The force of the bow launching the arrows into the air caused the ground under her to crack apart as a cloud of dust was created around Shiro.

Arrows left four separate trails of light behind them as they flew through the air.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro estimated that it should be high enough,

Flexing her finger, the arrows split themselves into three copies with each one flying towards an archer tower.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM !!!!!!!

Looking at the explosion of dark purple fire in the distance, Shiro nodded her head in satisfaction since she knew that there were bound to be some fire inside the towers. By adding the dark star element, she was able to amplify the power of her spell.

"Right then, with the towers taken care of, let's move." Shiro smiled.

Twisting her body, she shifted Ataraxia's element to metal for more damage overall.

*PUCHI!!!!!

In a few short moments, deep lacerations could be seen all over the demon's body. He opened his mouth in an attempt to breath fire on Shiro but she flicked a tiny spark of dark star element in his mouth.

*BOOOMMM!!!!!

Combusting into a ball of purple fire, the demon crumbled away into ash.

Walking to the edge of the wall, Shiro looked down and saw several fire balls being shot towards her by a legion of Igni Colossus's.

"Tsk."

Clicking her tongue, she snapped her fingers and raised her palm in front of her.

*KRRRRRR!!!!!

Ice crystalised in front of her as it continued to spread.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG!

Even though the ice shield was taking heavy hits, there wasn't a single fracture or dent. At most, it was just a small layer of ice that was melting from the heat.

"Are you ready Lisa?" Shiro asked.

"Yin. Care to give me a lift?" Shiro asked, glancing back at Yin.

"Of course, this baby is obedient after all." Yin grinned as she morphed back into her phoenix form.

Hopping on her back, Shiro flexed her fingers and created her sniper.

Yin flapped her wings and flew high into the sky.

Glancing through her sniper scope, Shiro helped reduced the amount of pressure on Lisandra. While she couldn't kill them, since the recoil induced by the sniper would fling her off Yin's back, it was enough to just stun them. It allowed Lisandra to get more EXP and level up.

"Thank you. Oh also, final question from me."

"What is it?" The king asked.

"Fallen God Corpse and the defence nodes. What do you know about them?" Shiro asked as she smiled lightly.

*BOOM!!!!

The king didn't even respond as a heavy aura burst out of him.

"Oi! Horny old b*stard who f*cks first thing in the morning! How dare you raise your aura at my mum." Yin frowned as her eyes gleamed with annoyance. Releasing her own aura, the temperature of the room shot up in an instant as she suppressed the king.

"KU!" Covering his mouth, a trail of blood flowed out from the corner of his lips.

----------------------------------------------------------
Frowning at the lack of reaction, she wondered if it was linked to the kind of fear or mental change the host experienced. Since his sped up their corruption in the search of power, that meant his thought process was definitely linked.

Snapping her finger, she put him in an illusion where he was currently fighting for his freedom. While he was winning, it wasn't by a large margin and would encourage him to seek out more power.

Looking at the disgusting grin on his face, Shiro had the urge to just end him here and now but restrained herself.

Checking his full body scan, she saw how the chemicals released by his brain was stimulating the demon cells and encouraged them to corrode his body more.
***
Of course, anyone who saw the scene right now would be freaked out since Shiro was relaxing like it was a summer day (Winter since Shiro is a snow girl right now). But in the background, Garrick was now screaming once more since Shiro had stopped the illusion.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Carving off a small piece of his flesh, she set it aside and started to mend it back together. But instead of using healing magic, she used nanobots to heal him. She was basically converting a part of him into machinery to support his life. For now.

Making herself a new workstation, Shiro placed the piece of flesh in the centre and started to experiment on it.

After few minutes let her nanobots devour the flesh since the cells died.

"Since it's demon cells, could my fire of life affect it?" She muttered.

Carving away more pieces of flesh, Shiro turned back to her workbench and created a small flicker of green fire.

Making it so that the fire tried to heal a small portion of the flesh, Shiro noticed how the demon cells started to die out. But, at the same time, the cells release this chemical that started to eat away at the flesh.

"Seems like when the cells die, they die along with the host." Shiro muttered.
[CAN USE NANOBOTS TO HEAL PEOPLE BUT IT SORT OF TURNS THEM INTO CYBORGS. FIRE OF LIFE BURNS AWAY DEMONIC CELLS]
- CHAPTER 183
---------------------------------------------------------
Since the cells were already converting the person over, what Shiro needed to do was to infect the demon cells with her nanobots.

It was basically doing the Nanomancer class conversion on the soldiers but not following it all the way through. The end result would be for her to create an army of cybernetic soldiers that were empowered by nanotech.

Thinking of this point, Shiro narrowed her eyes slightly since it was similar to what the scientists did. She was experimenting with the prisoners before exposing more people to the Nanomancer conversation surgery.

"Tsk, this is literally the meaning of the path to hell is paved with good intentions." Shiro clicked her tongue at this hypocrisy. She hated the scientists for what they had done to her but now she had become the same as them.

Shaking her head, Shiro stood up and walked towards Garrick.

"You know how lucky you are? You're going to be the first person that I attempt to make into a Nanomancer. Well, a quarter of one." Shiro chuckled.

Garrick didn't respond since all of his energy had been spent on screaming for the past few minutes.

Pinching her fingers together, Shiro focused her mind as she had to make sure she didn't convert him into a full Nanomancer. She only wanted to take over the demon cells and at the same time, make sure that the soldiers would survive.

*TZZZ!!!

Lightning flickered rampantly around her hand as she was constructing the most important item in the surgery.

The Nano Tech Core.

"SSS!" Taking a sharp breath in, Shiro flinched as she felt her links strain from creating the core.

However, after a short moment, she smiled seeing the item in between her fingers.

[Nano Tech Core – Black]

The core required in the surgery to gift a person the SSS class Nanomancer, the living war machine that can create anything and everything they think of.

A black grade item, one that was two ranks higher than her Ataraxia which was Orange Grade and is also the second highest grade of items

(Quick reminder of item grades: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Black and Rainbow.)

Taking a deep breath, Shiro looked at Garrick before shifting her gaze to his chest.

Narrowing her eyes, she plunged the core through his torso and into his heart.

"ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

As the nanobots spread all over his body, Shiro waited patiently for his class to change.

[Terim LVL 37 – Nanotech Gunman]

Smiling at the success, she also discovered a hidden perk. She had an innate connection to his nanobots. Not only that, she could give him orders that he would follow.

Flexing her fingers slightly, she saw a layer of nanotech armour form around the prisoner.

The suit itself was that of a matt black with neon blue highlights. In addition to this, there were coils on the back that would gather the ambient mana to help power the suit.

And the best part is that she wasn't strained at all. She was the one giving the command and not the one executing the command meaning that her broken mana links wouldn't be a problem if they're not the one to make the weapon.

Grinning slightly, Shiro 'uploaded' the blueprint of the sniper into the soldier's mind and had him create it.

Lightning and metal sparked a little as a simplified version of her sniper appeared in the man's hands.

"Mn, not bad." Shiro smiled in satisfaction. Since this man was a successful experiment, she wasn't going to kill him but instead make the most out of him.

Walking towards the window, Shiro looked around and saw Lisandra distributing the drinks in the distance.

Since she had already made her into the carrier, nanobots were currently infecting everyone in the army.

The next stage would naturally be to convert them into Nanotech Soldiers but she had to do that manually unless she was able to have the nanobots inside each soldier convert themselves into weakened Nano Tech Cores.

Looking at the newly transformed Terim, Shiro smiled ambiguously before flickering away from her spot. Of course, she made sure that Terim couldn't run away since he's a valuable resource after all.

- CHAPTER 184
-------------------------------------------------------
With two Nanotech Gunmans by her side, she was going to let them be her controllers.

Placing her hand on their heads, she sent shocks through their brain to make them braindead. Linking up both the nanobot network, Shiro set it up so that they would be the first 'batteries'.

Once everything was prepared, she closed her eyes and linked her connection to the nanobots that Lisandra had infected everyone with and redirected their link to the two 'batteries' in her hands.

She set down instructions for the nanobots inside both of their bodies and watched as they slowly converted each of the soldier's nanobots into a Highly Weakened Nano Tech Core. This was due to the fact that they were technically the 'source' now which meant the classes they make were inferior to them.

Of course, she made sure that the core didn't convert them just yet since she was going to keep it a surprise for the spy.

Sure she may not have the power she had hoped to get from the army, however, it was better than straining herself for a huge army. Plus, she wasn't going to get through them all in time. She was just going to focus her attention on the high level soldiers and make them into generals of sorts where their combat power would be much bigger than the average soldier.

Setting up a few devices on the two battery's bodies to make sure that they didn't run out of mana while converting the army, all Shiro had to do now was to plant the core in the high level soldiers herself to ensure that their combat potential improved.
[CAN CONVERT PEOPLE INTO NANO GUNMEN REMOTELY, AND ANY NANOPERSON SHE CREATES SHE CAN MAKE BRAIN DEAD AND INTO A ROBOT UNDER HER CONTROL]
- CHAPTER 184
---------------------------------------------------------
Dismissing that thought for now, Shiro arrived at the main camp.

"Miss Shiro, what brings you here?" One of the generals asked. He was level 47 and was by far one of the higher level people she's seen in the kingdom.

"Can you bring me all of the people who are higher than level 40 and have the rank of commander or higher?" Shiro asked with a smile.

"Of course, but is there any particular reason to this?"

"Hmm, think of it this way, what I'm going to do may seem like nothing but it will play a big part in the war to come. I can't tell you what it is since the effects would be diminished." Shiro replied.

"Understood." The general replied.

Not too long after, he returned with all of the commander rank and above soldiers waiting outside of the tent.

Looking at their numbers, Shiro couldn't help but feel the corner of her mouth twitch a little.

'F*ck me, even if you give me a week, I don't think I can go through all of these people.' She thought to herself.

Quickly making a mental note in her mind, Shiro decided to make all the generals have cores that would convert around 30% of their body. This will allow them to then give the captains weakened cores that will only convert around 25% and then the commanders will have the highly weakened core which will only convert 15 to 20% of their body.

This way, she would only need to focus on the few generals that were in front of her and didn't need to worry about straining her links too much.

"Generals stand to one side with Captains behind them and Commanders behind the Captains." Shiro instructed as they did as they were told.

Walking up to the first general, Shiro placed a palm on his chest and sent mana into his body.

"Don't resist, allow the mana to flow through you." She said while planting the seed that would become the core once the time is right.

"Now I want you to store a little bit of your mana into the captain's bodies. As for the captains, once the generals store a bit of their mana into you, you will then store some into the commanders." She called out while moving onto the next general.

Nodding at her instructions, they did as they were told. After all, the king did pass down an order saying that they should follow the royal tutors' instructions where possible.

Repeating the process with the other generals, she then had some small chat with them before leaving.

"Now that the seeds are sown, the moment the generals are converted, the captains will follow right behind them along with the commanders." She muttered in satisfaction.

All that was left for her to do was for her to wait.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flapping her wings, Yin dived towards the demons camp.

Shiro crouched down and readied her own spell as she watched the camp come closer and closer.

While there was still some difficulty with creating a tier 3 magic circle, she could definitely feel the difference between completely broken mana links and having some healed.

"Fire!" She shouted out as she too activated her spell.

*BOOM!!!!!

A giant snowstorm erupted out from the middle of the demon camp. With a single gesture of her hand, Shiro turned all of the snowflakes into deadly razors that cut anything and everything it touched.

Her battalion wasn't idle either since they too sent their spells flying toward the demon camp.

Within a few short moments, the once lively camp was instantly razed to the ground.

"Stop! Let's move onto the next camp!" Shiro shouted out.
[SHIRO'S TIER 3 ICE MAGIC CREATES A SNOWSTORM IN A CAMP AND TURNS EACH SNOWFLAKE RAZOR SHARP]
- CHAPTER 186
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Impossible!" The first demon cried out in shock. Even if she was able to take care of one of the camps, he should have gotten the news much sooner.

"Do you have visual on her?" The second demon asked with a serious face.

"N-no we don't."

However, just as the demon was about to ask another question, he suddenly paled after feeling a sharp killing intent lock onto him.

His instincts ran while as he wrapped his arms around his head and put up as many defences as he could.

*BOOM!!! PING!!!!

Widening his eyes, he watched as the ray of light smash through his defences with ease. He could clearly feel the mana being ripped from his spell.

There were no explosions or the such. Just a clean line that evaporated everything that it touched.

*Cough!

Throwing up a mouthful of blood, the demon kneeled down heavily as he looked towards where the shot originated from.

"How…" He muttered in disbelief when all he saw was a tiny speck in the distance. Even with his incredible eyesight, he couldn't see the face of his assailant.

As for the other demon, he quickly used all of his berserk skills and flew into the air. Since the enemy could kill the other general in a single shot, he knew they could do the same to him.

"Tsk tsk tsk. How cowardly." A voice chuckled behind him.

Quickly turning around, he came face to face with Yin who grabbed him by the throat.

Her dark purple wings flapped gently behind her as her hair fluttered in the wind. Looking at Yin, the only thing that came to the demon's mind was deathly beauty.

"Since mum's had her fun with your friend, it's my turn to have some fun." She said with a smile.

Naturally, the demon tried to struggle out of her grasp but could only look in horror as he noticed how her grip didn't budge at all.

Quickly turning around, he came face to face with Yin who grabbed him by the throat.

Her dark purple wings flapped gently behind her as her hair fluttered in the wind. Looking at Yin, the only thing that came to the demon's mind was deathly beauty.

"Since mum's had her fun with your friend, it's my turn to have some fun." She said with a smile.

Naturally, the demon tried to struggle out of her grasp but could only look in horror as he noticed how her grip didn't budge at all.

Reaching out with her finger, Yin drew a vertical line down his face.

"Bye bye~" She grinned before snapping her fingers.

*BOOM!!!!!!!

A blade of Dark Star energy erupted from the line she drew and cut the demon in half without any resistance.

However, even after the spell killed its target, it didn't stop.

Cutting across the fort as collateral, Yin stuck her tongue out playfully while watching the fort get cut in half.

"Whoops." She chuckled.

"Yin, what did I say about collateral damage?" Shiro's weary voice was heard over the crystal.

 "Sorry mum~ But the goal was to destroy the fort anyways so this is fine." Yin laughed playfully.
[YIN CAN CASUALLY CREATE DARK STAR ENERGY BLADES BY DRAWING A LINE ON SOMEONE WITH ENOUGH STRENGTH TO CUT THEM IN HALF THEN FOLLOW TO THE FLOOR FROM HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR AND CUT A FORT IN HALF]
- CHAPTER 186
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Jumping into the rift, Yin appeared besides Shiro and saw that she was currently aiming her sniper rifle into the sky.

"What are you planning mum?" She asked curiously.

"A meteor bombardment of sorts." Shiro replied while keeping an eye on the damage multiplier.

Lightning started to flicker off the sniper as the ambient mana in the surroundings were being absorbed without restraint.

*KISH!!!!

Some of the coils started to smoke due to the sheer amount of mana being stored inside the sniper.

"Mn, better than before but still a little lacking." Shiro muttered in slight disappointment.

Narrowing her eyes, she pulled the trigger.

*BANG!!!!!

The force of the shot caused the barrel to shatter apart and the ground beneath her to crack and fracture.

A flaming bullet cut across the sky as the demons that had survived the initial attack by Yin looked up in fear.

As beings that were sensitive towards mana, they knew that whatever was flying through the air would kill them without doubt.

*BOOM CRACK!!!!

Exploding into a giant ball of plasma just above the fort, lightning and fire rained down upon the fort as it easily demolished the buildings without restraint.

Since the average level of the demons inside the fort was 50, they died without question to the calamity that had just detonated above them. As for the few miraculous survivors, their miracle didn't last long since the calamity wasn't over.

If they survived one wave then the second wave will kill them. If they survived that, a third wave followed shortly.

As long as the ball of plasma was still in the air, the waves of fire and lightning continued to ravage the fort.

Of course, it couldn't last forever.

Every wave that shot out would decrease the size of the plasma ball but it was more than enough to decimate everything that breathed.

"What a sight." Shiro smiled.

"Not to burst your bubble mum, but didn't you just educate me about using too much mana a while back? How much mana did you use with that bullet?" Yin asked with a sh*t eating grin.

"*cough* Yin darling, let mum have this moment ok?" Shiro coughed lightly in embarrassment.

"Nope~. There should be a certain amount of truth between us ok?" Yin shook her head.

Looking away, Shiro didn't want to reveal that she used over 50% of her mana with a single shot. Plus, that wasn't including the shot she used to kill the first demon general.

For a single shot to take more than 600k MP was extravagant no matter how you wanted to look at it.
[FOR A SNIPER SHOT THAT COSTS OVER HALF HER TOTAL MANA AT ONCE SHE CAN CREATE A GIANT DEATH BALL THAT CREATES A METEOR SHOWER-ESC ATTACK]
- CHAPTER 186
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as she was finished with the final defence, she saw the sky slowly brighten up.

"It's already morning?" Shiro muttered, clearly not expecting it to be sunrise this early. Even though she had been working on the defences for a while, there should still be 2 hours left.

However, it wasn't a sunrise.

Widening her eyes in shock, she saw a giant wave of lightning arrows rushing towards the kingdom.

"Everyone wake the f*ck up! We're under attack!" Shiro shouted out as she used mana to amplify her voice so that everyone could hear it.

Slamming her palms into the roof, Shiro pumped as much mana as she could into the defence systems. She didn't have the time she needed to draw mana from the surroundings so she could only fuel it with her own mana for now.

Resisting the pain she was feeling from her body, she continued to insert an outrageous amount of mana.

"Yin! Take this and point out where the enemy is located." Shiro shouted out while flicking a small device at Yin.

"How do I use this?" Yin asked with a serious face.

"When you see them, throw it at them. Remember, once you throw it, jump into the rift since I don't want to hit you by accident."

"Got it."

Quickly transforming herself back to a phoenix, Yin flew away.

*Kish! Kish! Kish!

While Yin was flying away, several mechanical structures started to extend from the towers and projected a huge barrier over the entire kingdom.

*BOOM!!!!!!

The impact of the attack against the barrier caused a miniature earthquake to hit the kingdom. Those who were still sleeping woke up instantly.

*CRACK! CRACK!

Several fractures could be seen spreading on the surface of the barrier as Shiro twisted her palm.

Following her gesture, the barrier started to rotate, throwing several arrows to the landscape around the kingdom.

*BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

Every arrow that hit the ground would cause a huge explosion that decimated everything within the blast radius. Looking at the damage, Shiro frowned a little after thinking about the casualties that they could have taken.

Looking down, she could see the soldiers scrambling around in a panic.

"Oh for f*cks sake." She muttered with a roll of her eyes.

Creating a magic circle, she combined it with the defence system.

*BOOM!!!

Shrinking down for a moment, the barrier expanded in an instant and sent the rest of the arrows flying towards the surroundings.

Naturally, this forced the barrier to lose quite a bit of durability and a portion of it shattered apart.

"At least the absorption system seems to be working optimally." She sighed in relief.

If the attack had landed on her barrier without the absorption system, it would have shattered upon impact. But due to the fact that the barrier siphoned mana from the surroundings along with the mana from the attack, it was barely able to hold itself together.

Watching the barrier slowly stitch itself back together, Shiro quickly encased herself in ice to regain some of her mana.
[SHIRO CREATING SHIELDS THAT CAN TAKE MULTIPLE ARRROWS THAT CAUSE HUGE EXPLOSIONS ON IMPACT, ALTHOUGH IT COSTS MOST OF HER MANA]
- CHAPTER 187
---------------------------------------------------------
Feeling a small rumble in her hands, Shiro saw the coordinates that Yin had given her.

"Perfect." She grinned as her eyes became cold.

Redirecting a portion of the mana to the weapon systems, several huge cannons materialised above the towers as support beams stabbed into the ground.

If one was to look at the castle now, they would see huge cannons aiming high into the sky.

*TZZZ!!!!!!

Lightning thrashed around the barrel as a huge amount of ambient mana was being pulled from the surroundings.

*BANG! BANG! BANG!

Naturally as collateral, some parts of the castle were shattered by the lightning but no one was harmed.

Neon circuits could be seen slowly running its way up the barrel as if symbolised how much power is being charged up.

Raising her hand up, Shiro narrowed her eyes and clutched her fist.

*KISH KISH KISH!

Three layered magic circles wrapped around the tip of the barrel.

*BANG!

A single beam of light cut across the sky as the support beams cracked under the pressure.

*BOOM!!!!

 Splitting the clouds in half, the beam dyed the sky with an ominous red.

A distant explosion and echo signalled the destruction of the attackers.

*BOOM!!!!!

A heavy gust of wind shortly followed the explosion as Shiro quickly stabilised herself as to not get blown away by the wind.

Smiling in satisfaction, Shiro looked back at the cannons.

The castle towers were heavily damaged due to the force of the recoil even with the support beams help.

However, their job was complete since they were supposed to help her with long ranged units.

Making sure that the defences were back up, Shiro hopped down from the tower and ran towards the council room once more.
