Nanomancer Reborn 201-210 (in progress)

Meanwhile in the training room…

"Damn, mum, I know you classed up but why is the upgrade so big?!" Lisandra asked with fatigue.

Shrugging her shoulders, Shiro only smiled.

*BOOM!!!

Swiping her hand, she blocked one of Yin's fire balls easily.

"Tch." Clicking her tongue in annoyance, Yin struggled to land a single hit on Shiro.

"Yin your intent is too obvious. Try to hide it a little, or disperse it as much as you can." Shiro called out while readying her sword.
[SHIRO CAN EFFORTLESSLY DEFLECT YIN'S FIREBALLS]
- CHAPTER 201
------------------------------------------------------------
Gesturing for Lisandra to attack her, Shiro stayed on the defensive. After all, going offensive against Lisandra would just be bullying her.

"Here I come." Lisandra said seriously as she spread her wings and flew towards Shiro.

*CLANG!

Parrying her sword with ease, Shiro flicked her wrist and broke her guard.

"What did I say about the initiative? Make sure you're the first one to break the guard. If you're going to focus on attack, don't make it half assed against an opponent like me." Shiro explained.

Lisandra only nodded her head before summoning another sword.

After making a contract with Shiro, Lisandra had discovered that her own system had undergone an upgrade. She now had her own inventory and didn't need to use storage items.

Due to this upgrade, she started to experiment with how she could incorporate it into her own fighting style.

Twisting her body, Lisandra slashed her second sword toward Shiro. Before Shiro could even parry it, Lisandra put away her sword.

*Clang!

With a quick twist of her wrist, she used her first sword to parry Shiro's before summoning the second sword once more.

"Mn, not bad." Shiro praised since what Lisandra just did wasn't easy. The problem with using the inventory in combat is that most people can't set the location correctly and would either A, summon the sword out of reach or B, harm themselves instead.

While Lisandra's stunt seemed easy, she had actually calculated the speed of her hand, the angle and the position before successfully summoning her sword into her hand to continue her swing.

However, to Shiro, it was nothing but a small trick.

Casually drawing a line in the air with her spare hand, Shiro conjured up a small ice rod to block to sword.

*CRACK!

Holding their position for a moment, the two pushed at each other and jumped back lightly.

"Yin, where were you then? You could have assisted your sister." Shiro called out.

"But I might hit her." Yin frowned. With the way Shiro had moved, it was hard for Yin to launch the attack confidently since the chance of hitting Lisandra was high.
[SHIRO CAN EASILY READ AND BLOCK SWORD ATTACKS WHERE THE BLADE DE AND RESUMMONS ITSELF AT WILL WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY MAKING SURE A RANGED ATTACKER CAN'T FIRE DUE TO THE POTENTIAL OF FRIENDLY FIRE]
- CHAPTER 201
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After sparring with Lisandra for a while longer, Shiro walked over to Yin.

"So what I want you to do is guide your flame through a maze. However, you cannot touch the walls or else the maze will extinguish your fire. There are several levels with the first one being rather easy."

Flicking her wrist, Shiro built a nanomachine maze that was roughly 10 meters by 10 meters. Each of the passageways where equal in width and there were lots of forked paths. Not only did Yin need to control her fire to not hit the walls, she also needed to guide it through the maze.

"I'll show you a demonstration first ok?" Shiro suggested. As a 'teacher' she wanted to show that it was possible before handing it off to her 'student' to attempt. After all, it was easy to run your mouth off about a hard task.

Clicking her fingers, Shiro conjured up a spar of Dark Star Element and flicked it into the maze.

"Now here is the catch. You need to keep the fire at the start or else the exit would not open. You can't make two sparks either since the maze will detect it and extinguish your flame. You need to mold the fire into a different shape and have it travel through the maze." She smiled.

Flexing her fingers slightly, the flame started to stretch and move through the maze like a snake.

Looking at Shiro's control over her mana and the fire, Yin couldn't help but wonder who was the phoenix here. It was clear that Shiro was much better at using fire than her.

Finishing the maze in record speed, Shiro created a new maze before gesturing for Yin to attempt the same.

"It shouldn't be that hard." Yin looked at the maze in suspicion before creating her own spark.

Flicking it into the maze, she started to frown when she realised her fire was about to explode.

Exerting her control over it, she barely managed to have it stabilize at the start of the maze. However, she didn't attempt to stretch its shape since she was already struggling for it to keep its shape.

Leaving Yin to try clear the maze, Shiro had a small smile on her face.

She understood Yin's problem since her Dark Star element was a very volatile element. It was similar to what had happened to her nanobots when she first got them. They would always threaten to expand rapidly and consume everything until nothing else remained. If she wasn't careful, it would easily damage her teammate.

This was when the scientists came up with this exercise to have her improve on her control.
[SHIRO CAN CREATE A LARGE NANO MAZE THAT EXTINGUISHES FLAMES IF IT TOUCHED THE WALL AND HAS LOTS OF ANTI-CHEAT FEATURES FOR TRAINING. HAS REAL GOOD MANA CONTROL WITH DARK FLAME AND OTHER ELEMENTS]
- CHAPTER 201
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately for him, Yin grinned excitedly since this was part of her plan. After training with the maze that Shiro had made for her, her mana control had increased by a wide margin. While it couldn't be called exceptional, it was much better than what she was doing previously.

Swiping out with her hand, the fire contorted itself and lashed towards Erick like whips.

Widening his eyes, Erick didn't have the time to complain and knew that he needed to act fast.

Giving up on his attack, he let go of his axe and slammed his palm into the ground.

*BOOM!!!

A tornado of fire wrapped around him as he hoped that this skill would redirect Yin's fire whips.

"Ah, he shouldn't have done that." Shiro muttered seeing the fire tornado.

Against Yin's Dark Star Element, fire was the last thing that you would want to use. After all, Dark Star consumes foreign fires to empower itself.

*BOOM!!!!!!

"ARG!!" Crying out in pain from the heat, Erick couldn't believe what he had just seen.

'Did her fire just take over mine?!'

Just as Shiro was about to make a move, she saw Yin furrowing her brows in concentration.

"Ha!" Pushing out her arms, Yin gathered all of the flames into her palm. Compressing it down to the size of a tennis ball, Yin looked towards Shiro proudly.

Curving her lips into a smile, Shiro nodded her head.

"Fufufu~ I believe I win?" Yin grinned.

However, Erick frowned as he was about to get back up.

"Ap. Be a good boy and admit defeat when you lose ok? This baby isn't confident with my mana control right now. Who knows, maybe this ball of fire might blow up right now." Yin's voice rang out behind him.

She was currently grabbing his chin from behind while the ball of fire floated in front of his face.

Hearing the playfulness in Yin's voice, Erick couldn't help but feel cold sweat drip down his back.

'Is she crazy!?'

Looking towards the ref, Yin waited for him to announce the winner.

"The winner of this match is Miss Yin! Can both contestants separate yourselves please."

"Ok~" Yin smiled as she stood up.

Looking at the ball of fire in her palm, Yin paused as she realised something important.

"Erm... mum?" She called out.

"What is it?"

"I can't extinguish this." Yin smiled embarrassingly.

"... Hais." Sighing softly, Shiro flicked her finger towards the fireball. A thin needle of ice shot out as it froze the fireball over and shattered into dust.

- CHAPTER 202
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Give me 500 of your best C ranked mana stones." Yin said while rubbing her palms together eagerly.

"F*ck! 500!?!? Why don't you rob a bank!" Erick cried out in shock.

Hell, he only had around 70 C ranked mana stones on him right now.

"What? It's only 500." Yin frowned after seeing his response.

Looking at the referee for help, Erick pleaded for him to do something with his gaze.

However, the referee only looked away and pretended that he didn't see anything.

"Yin, behave yourself." Shiro called out as Erick sighed in relief.

"He probably doesn't have that many on him right now so you should write a statement. Have him pay you the missing stones with interest."

'F*ck!'

"Oh~ Let's do that then." Yin nodded.

Flexing her fingers, Shiro created a one time use printer without anyone seeing and printed out a contract for the stones.

"Here, I already have the contract on me." She said while throwing the contract towards Yin.

Looking at her actions, the surrounding people were surprised.

'Why the hell do you have a contract written up already?!?!?!'

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the timer reached 3, she activated her Element Shift along with Celestial Element Wheels.

Element Shift – Lightning.

*BANG!!!!!

Lightning descended on her spot as it startled everyone in the arena.

However, instead of being injured, Shiro's body started to change.

Her hair changed from white to neon yellow while the lightning gathered towards her feat and formed two disks that suspended her from the ground.

When the time hit 2, a white and yellow robe replaced her dress. The edges of the robe faded into countless streaks of yellow mana that flickered around like lightning.

Finally, at the last second before the match started, Shiro reached out with her hand and summoned Ataraxia – Lightning Shift.

With 6 swords hovering behind her and a sword in her hand, Shiro looked like a lightning goddess that had descended onto the mortal realm.

Flickering away from her location, she appeared in front of the closest monster and swung her blade.

Her mind seemed to have cleared up as her sword cut through the monster with ease. Reacting instinctively, she flowed through once stance after another.

Yin Style Asura's Path – Sword Path!

Compared to before, she knew that her swordsmanship had definitely improved a little.

[Threshold passed. New Skill Unlocked.]

[Sword Domain]

'Sword Domain!' She thought with surprise.

Skipping past the attack domain entirely, she was able to achieve the sword domain in an instant. She had never achieved a domain in her old life so she never fully appreciated it but now that she had one of her own, she truly knew the kind of difference it made in close combat.

*PUCHI!!!!

As if walking through a flower field, her attacks were casual but held a large amount of lethality.

Flicking sword upwards, she separated Ataraxia into several copies of itself and had them orbit around her.

'No wonder the guys that had this were so annoyed when they saw me. Despite never having achieved a domain of my own, my weapons were simply too powerful.' Shiro thought with a soft chuckle.

Now that she had both the domain and the weapon, she knew that she was going to reach greater heights in this life.

- CHAPTER 207
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since Shiro couldn't keep up the Fae Illusions on all three of them for 2 hours, she had finished as quickly as possible and put her mask back on so that she could deactivate the illusion. Lisandra understood her intent and did the same. With her only needed to activate the illusion on Yin, Shiro kept her eyes on her surroundings so that when no one was looking at Yin, she would deactivate the skill to regenerate some MP. And when they looked back, she would activate the skill once more.

"Fuwaah…. Satisfied." Yin giggled happily and patted her stomach.

Her appetite had shocked everyone that was inside the hall since they couldn't believe that such a small body could eat 5 steak meals.

Naturally, Isaac had arrived at the hall as well but Shiro used more of her MP to make it so that he couldn't see the three of them at all. After all, she would rather spend some MP than to deal with that pervert.

- CHAPTER 220
------------------------------------------------------------------
Arriving at the simulation room, they saw several rows of simulation pods lined up against one another. The other party members have also arrived to the room as each of them were guided to their respective pods.

'Since this is pod will read our details, I'll need to edit the information so that we're not exposed.' Shiro thought to herself as she sat down on the pod.

Several strands of nanobots entered the pod as Shiro closed her eyes.

Linking up to Yin and Lisandra's pods, she could see their information slowly appearing. Making a few adjustments, she sent them off to the consoles.

Naturally, they had their anti hack but it was nothing in front of Shiro especially after her class up. It was a walk in the park for her to confuse the anti hack system into thinking everything is ok.
[EASILY GETS AROUND A FUTURISTIC MAGICAL ANTI-HACK SYSTEM]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh my…" She muttered in surprise after seeing the new stats.

[Ataraxia – Celestial Sword of Elements (Red)]

Matches Owner Level – Current Level: 51

+4000 Attack

+3000 Sharpness

 +2500 Attack Speed

+2300 Ignore Defence

+2300 Critical Chance

+2000 Critical Damage

+40% Elemental Damage

+30% Suppression against enemies of the same level or lower

+25% Self Repair

+20% Life Steal

+20% Sword Affinity

+10% Mana Disabler

Skills: Element Shift (Glacial, Shadow, Metal, Lightning, Dragon, Dark Star, Light), Ataraxia, Celestial Runes (Kara, Lire, Aera)

Bound: Shiro

Reading the effects of the upgraded Ataraxia skill caused Shiro to pause in surprise. Overall, the effects were increased along with the total duration while the backlash had decreased. On top of this, if she killed anyone within the range of her skill, she'll be able to increase the total duration by a few seconds.

If she used this within an army, she'll be able to keep this activated as long as she continues to kill.

As for the runes…

[Celestial Runes]

Kara: Increase mana regen massively. The lower the current MP count, the higher the regeneration. (Consumes Weapon Durability for every second it is activated.)

Lire: Increase Health Regen massively. The lower the current HP count, the higher the regeneration. (Consumes Weapon Durability for every second it is activated.)

Aera: Convert all the damage taken within the past 10 minutes into health and empower the host for 2 minutes. (Consumes Weapon Durability for every second it is activated. Warning: Do not use constantly as backlash will build up unless given the chance to recuperate.)

Only one rune can be active at any given time.

While she only had three runes, each of them could be top tier items by themselves.

It was also perfect for her since her sword had the trait of self-repair. Therefore, the fact that using the runes consumed durability didn't bother her at all.

- CHAPTER 207
---------------------------------------------------------------------
An ear rupturing roar rang out as the hulking beast stood in front of the party. From what Shiro could see, the monster looked like a wingless wyvern that crawled on all fours.

[First test, damage check. Please focus on damaging the boss as much as you can.]

Hearing the announcement, the party nodded their head and dashed forwards.

Shiro tapped her necklace and summoned out Ataraxia.

'Just a walk in the park on a nice day.' She thought to herself. Holding the handle of her sword, she walked towards the boss at a steady pace.

The people that were overviewing the entire area frowned seeing her nonchalant attitude.

"Young master, are you sure that you want her on the party? Wouldn't her attitude leave the party in jeopardy?" One of them asked in concern.

"Don't worry about it. From what I know, she's the serious type when the stakes are high. Right now, as there is no risk, she is probably wanting to take things easy. Out of all the party members, I guess her party of 3 are the ones that we need to worry the least about. However, if you want to talk about those who might put the party in jeopardy, I suggest you keep an eye on Lox. He's not the most cooperative type." Kier said while narrowing his eyes on Lox.

Even now, he was having an argument with Alura while keeping an eye on Yin, Lisandra and Shiro. He couldn't lay a hand on Alura because of Kier, but Shiro's party wasn't the same.

'I'm free to do what I want when the raid's finished. Who knows, maybe I'll have a chance inside the raid.' He thought with a cruel smile.

Meanwhile, several skills collided with the bosses body and reduced its armour count rapidly.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG!

Waving its arms around, it locked several skills and charged towards those it deemed to look the weakest.

Locking its gaze onto Shiro, the boss growled and punched towards her.

"Hou~ So you think I'm weak now do you?" Shiro raised an eyebrow.

Smiling lightly, she swung her sword and collided it with the claw.

*CLANG!

Sliding back a few steps, she managed to stop the fist by redirecting the force into the ground.

Swinging her body onto the fist, she dashed along its arm while making deep lacerations with every step she took.

*URAHHH!!!!

Crying out in rage, the boss tried to get Shiro off its arm. Unfortunately for it, Shiro had already reached its head. Twisting her body, she kicked the monster on the temple and forced it to fall on its side.

Flicking her sword into the air, she summoned her other swords and had all of them attack the boss.

While the others were watching, they weren't idle either and started to bombard the boss's colossal body.

"See?" Kier smiled lightly when he saw the observer's shocked face.

Nodding his head slowly, the observer looked at the statistics and noticed that she had been eerily calm the entire time. Her heartbeat didn't even fluctuate at the sight of the boss which should be impossible in his eyes.

No matter what, fear was always apart of the human conscious. Even if she was confident in taking down the boss, her heartbeat should have at least fluctuated slightly.

"Impossible…" He muttered.
[REDIRECTING AND FUCKING ON MONSTER STRONGER THAN HER WITH ATARAXIA, IMMUNE TO FEAR]
- CHAPTER 221
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As the boss's HP slowly dropped, Shiro had decided to rest on her sword.

Laying her body on a copy of Ataraxia, she had it fly around so that she wouldn't get hit. Of course, she still instructed the other swords to attack so the party members couldn't complain. Especially when Shiro was in the upper portion of the damage per second chart.

While each of her attacks were slightly inferior in terms of damage, she compensated with the sheer volume of attacks that she could output.
[CAN LIE DOWN ON ONE OF ATARAXIA'S SWORDS AND FLY AROUND AS THEY FIGHT FOR HER]
- CHAPTER 221
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sighing out slightly, Shiro stretched her body.

"You seem relaxed mum." Yin said as she walked over.

"Well what do you expect. Everything is easy." Shiro shrugged since this posed no difficulty on her.

"Hmm… I guess you're right. The last two bosses were a bit simple weren't they?" Yin nodded.

"Probably because they're mostly focused on getting us used to the mechanics. I can almost guarantee that on the fourth boss, they'll crank up the difficulty to catch us off guard. That way, they can see how we react if anything were to happen suddenly. After all, you don't know what might happen in the raid." Shiro smiled as she looked up at where the camera should be.

Seeing Shiro make eye contact with them, Kier raised an eyebrow.

"She's quite sensitive isn't she?" Kier asked with a smile.

"Indeed. Even though it's just a virtual world, her senses allow her to notice when someone is looking at her. Young master, who is she? There is no way that someone like her could be found on the streets. Her parameters are off the charts. Reaction speed, technique, body control and even mana control. Each of them are amazing." The observer asked with a frown. Just looking at her current performance and analysis through the system made his head hurt.

He couldn't fathom how someone could be this in tune with their body. Her brain activity was incredible as well.

When one moves their body, most of it will just be subconscious manoeuvre. But she was different. From what he could see, she was consciously controlling every muscle. The amount of brain power and talent needed to do this was simply unheard of.

This was because a normal person could only focus on a limited amount of things before it becomes mediocre.

However, Shiro was different. She was like a super computer processing everything on super speed. Hell, he wouldn't be surprised if she DID have a computer in her mind because if a 'normal' adventurer tried the same. It'd be akin to having a pedal bike travel to space on its own. Unless it was heavily modified, the person wouldn't even be able to take a step before he loses his balance from forgetting to control his centre of gravity or his other foot.

Such a monstrous being should be part of a big family in the front lines. She shouldn't be in what they would call the 'countryside'.

"Hmm… I don't know. Perhaps we can find out if we do a web wide search of her? Scan her face, voice and fighting patterns. See if you can find a link." Kier suggested.

"Understood."

Meanwhile, Shiro noticed some strange movements and quickly disconnected herself without anyone noticing. It would just look like she was resting for a moment.

Once she disconnected, she noticed that they were trying to scan her.

'Not today.' Shiro smiled and uploaded the wrong data. They weren't about to find out her true identity just yet. After all, if they knew that she pierced asses too soon, it wouldn't be any fun now would it?
[SHIRO CAN SENSE PEOPLE LOOKING AT HER WHEN SHE IS WITHIN A VIRTUAL WORLD, HAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT BODY CONTROL, DISCONNECTS AND HACKS A SYSTEM WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING]
- CHAPTER 221
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teleporting up to the platform, she summoned all 7 copies of Ataraxia and smiled confidently.

"Unlike my foolish daughter, I don't speak nonsense." She chuckled softly.

Waving her fingers, she activated the Light Element Shift.

Looking at the golden glow that radiated off of the sword, Shiro gripped her hand.

'In my life, not only did you betray me, but you also killed me. However, as your enemy, I have to admit that your control over the light element was by far the best. You shall become my stepping stone to tier 8.' She thought as she concentrated the aura around her sword.

Pinching her fingers, a small spark of electricity and light started to fuse together while three swords rotated around them.

[3… 2… 1… 0!!!]

Snapping her fingers, the spark exploded as a ray of light was redirected to all of the glowing targets. Before anyone realised, the swords had already travelled along the light path and returned to her side.

[Round 1 passed!]

"What!!" The observer cried out in shock as he slammed his palm onto the console.

"Ridiculous! How could she do that!?!" He shouted while constantly replaying that moment.

Once the timer hit zero, she had 'loaded' her swords and fired them off like a gun. Similar to what Isaac does when he saves a stance, her sword then retraced the flight path and reappeared beside her.

However, unlike Isaac, her attack was almost instantaneous and the accuracy was incredible. All of the swords hit the centre without missing at all. It was almost as if she had copied and pasted the wound on the targets since they were the same.

"Unbelievable…" Kier muttered while looking at the scene. He could tell that in the short moment she 'fired' her swords, there was so much more going on. While he couldn't see the minute details, he could tell that it wasn't an easy feat to pull off.

Looking down at his hands, he wondered if he could do the same should he be given the same tools as her. But the only answer he thought of to that was impossible.

"Who is she…" He narrowed his eyes. He wan- no, he NEEDED to find out.

Once the test ended, everyone looked at Shiro like she was an absolute monster. That was because she had finished the entire test with a perfect score and 100% accuracy. By the time it was on the tenth round, some of them could barely recognise the targets before they disappeared.

Walking back to the duo, Shiro patted Lisandra's shoulder and smiled.

"Good luck."

"Un." Nodding her head, Lisandra wondered why Shiro was much better at using the light element despite only getting it recently.

'Hmm… could it be because she copied off of the hero? Even then, you can't just perform to this extent just by watching.' Lisandra mused to herself but soon snapped out of it since it was her turn on the test.

- CHAPTER 222/3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Treading through the overgrown foliage, they soon saw a giant armoured lizard lathed on the side of a cliff.

[Ancient Armoured Lizard – LVL 60 BOSS]

HP: 30,000,000/30,000,000

MP: 20,000,000/20,000,000

"Guys be careful. While his HP and MP is low for a level 60 boss, his armour stat is off the chart. You attacks that might have done hundreds of thousands to the boss before will only do tens of thousands." Isaac frowned.

"Formation 5, we'll take care of him as quick as possible."

Shifting their formation once more, the tankers charged forwards Using all of their defence boost skills onto the main tanker, he immediately took the aggro and slammed the giant lizard against the cliff wall.

*BANG!!!!!

Cracks spread out as the cliff started to collapse.

"Oh my, seeing his strength after all the buffs in real life is indeed different from the simulations." Alura muttered as the party members couldn't help but nod.

"Stop being in awe and let's kill it." Isaac reprimanded while a silver aura enveloped his body.

Nodding their heads, they all readied their skills.

Just as Shiro was about to attack, she noticed a stare sweep past her.

'Hmm… that's the intelligent monster. I should keep some of my skills hidden for now and weaken my physical abilities too.' Shiro thought to herself and made a lightning sword instead.

Making eye contact with both Yin and Lisandra, Shiro made a small hand gesture which meant suppress. It was something that they had discussed in their spare time.

Sometimes they can't talk or else their plan will be exposed so Shiro made up gestures for suppress, all out, control and so on.

Both Yin and Lisandra nodded their heads and restrained their power output.

Since the first boss had already been killed once, they were in no hurry to kill it.

Time passed as the monster's health decreased. It was a relatively simple raid since all they needed to do was make sure the tanker was alive. Nothing too strenuous for the healers on the team.

However, during this entire time, Shiro had noticed the intelligent monster carefully inspecting their movements.

His gaze had landed on her a few times and it reminded her of the eyes of someone who was inspecting each 'dish'.

'Slave owners.' Shiro thought to herself. That gaze belonged to one that had owned and bought many slaves in his lifetime. She remembered seeing this type of gaze during one of their missions in the hero party. She and her friends acted like merchandise while the other party members were the traders.

Their goal at that time was to find out where they had kept all their 'shipment' and the end of the mission was naturally the torture of those who laid a hand on the woman.

'Seems like this monster came from another world similar to me or else the gaze would not be so experienced. Tch, trash.' She thought while clicking her tongue.

Throughout the boss fight, she had 'accidentally' flung two attacks at the monster and noticed that it was extremely swift. A speed type monster that was experienced like her.

A troublesome opponent.

Upon arriving at the arena, the boss instantly reacted and summoned his minions. Soon, the arena was filled with what seemed to be a turtle made from wood.

[World Eater Treant Sapling – LVL 60 BOSS]

HP: 60,000,000/60,000,000

MP:67,500,000/70,000,000

[World Eater Guards – LVL 55 ELITE]

HP: 5,000,000/5,000,000

MP: 3,000,000/3,000,000

"Formation 1, healers heal those who are low and supports buff Miss Nytri's group of three." Isaac commanded while dashing towards the closest group of guards.

Shiro wasn't too far behind him either as she felt her strength increase.

'Since I'm being buffed, it should be ok to show more of my power or else it'll be weird.' She thought to herself.

Flicking Ataraxia into the sky, she summoned out the other copies and had them scatter throughout the arena.

"Try not to make contact with the monster kay?" Shiro called out nonchalantly as the party instantly pulled back.

Knowing her destructive power from the tests, despite her holding back, they knew that they'll be injured heavily if they didn't listen.

*BOOM!!!!

Two Tier 3 magic circles appeared in the sky as Shiro grinned. Using a mixture of her Lightning and Metal attunement, she summoned down pillars of lightning onto her swords.

Tier 3 Lightning Magic – Lightning Web

*TZZZ!!!!!

Lightning travelled through all of the monsters as scorch marks could be seen all over their bodies.

"Their defence should now be weakened and their reactions will be dull." Shiro informed as she retrieved her swords.

Bending her knees slightly, she grabbed two of her swords and dashed forwards. Twisting her body, she slashed all of the monsters that she ran past.
