Nanomancer Reborn 51-60

Climbing higher up the mountain, the next mobs were similar to the Yeti Berserker. They all looked like bipedal bulls that had white fur.

"Wait… Actually, I have an idea." Shiro muttered as she placed her palm down.

A giant sheet of Nanobots spread out as Shiro frowned seeing the surface area only being 10 meters squared.

'Compression system, piston propulsion system, retraction system, sensory system…' She thought as the trap was slowly being made.

Looking at the trap which bolstered 4 spikes for every meter squared, Shiro grinned while she covered the trap with snow.

She waited for her MP to recharge before taking action. Making a bow in her hands, she aimed it up and shot a flashbang arrow.

*BOOM!!!

The arrow exploded into a ball of light as the Yetis had to cover their eyes in pain.

Due to the nature of snow, they reflect light very well as they could cause blindness if not careful.

While the Yetis were used to the light shining off the snow, they couldn't stand the sudden burst of light caused by Shiro's arrow.

*GRUAHHH!!!!!

They roared out as their eyesight slowly recovered. When they saw Shiro, they glared at her in anger.

Shiro had a slightly sadistic smile on her face as she gestured for them to come with her finger.

*GRUAAA!!!

They roared in sync as they stormed towards her.

However, the moment they stepped on the trap, a laser sight appeared and aimed at Yetis.

When it locked on, the spears shot upwards before expanding like a Venus flytrap. Sharp spikes decorated the inside of the trap as it slammed shut on the Yetis.

*GRUAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

Their screams reverberated in the mountains as they soon died out not too long after, returning the silence back to the mountains.

Looking at the sight in front of her, Shiro couldn't help but giggle as that one trap allowed her to kill 8 of the Yetis.

- CHAPTER 51
---------------------------------------------------------
Pulling back, Shiro split the mana arrow in two and fired them both.

Flexing her fingers, Shiro controlled the arrows to shoot at the Yeti's temple.

The temple is one of the weakest parts of the skull, allowing Shiro to penetrate the skull without as much force.
[SHIRO CAN CONTROL HER ARROWS IN FLIGHT]
- CHAPTER 51
------------------------------------------------------
"Don't bother. I'm going ranged combat for a reason." Shiro called out as she was already above him.

*BOOM!

She shot her arrow downwards towards the ravager.

*PING!

The arrow shifted into a giant bladed net.

Wrapping around the body of the ravager, the blades dug deeper into his skin the more he struggled.

Flexing her fingers, Shiro caused the blades to rotate.

*GUARRRR!!!

The ravager roared out as blood continued to flow.

Nocking two arrows, Shiro aimed for the arteries once more.

For a boss like the ravager, the best way would be to let it die slowly on his own.

Now that the tendons and the arteries were destroyed, she didn't need to do anything else.

Jumping up onto a platform, Shiro sat down and watched the ravager coldly. Her bow was ready to fire should the ravager attack her.

 After 30 minutes of struggling, the ravager died and collapsed weakly.

Dismissing her bow, Shiro collected her loot.

- CHAPTER 51
---------------------------------------------------------------
With her level up, she learned the new skill Shadow Cloak. Shadow cloak is a stealth skill as it would let you blend in with the shadows. However, due to the fact that the skill was Tier 1, it drained quite a bit of MP per second.

[Shadow Cloak (Tier 1)]

Use the shadows to hide yourself.

Cost: 500MP/second

Cooldown: N/A

[SHIRO AND BIRB CAN BOTH USE SHADOW BASED STEALTH ABILITIES]
- CHAPTER 51
------------------------------------------------------
Arriving back at the dorm, Shiro saw Lyrica waiting by the door.

"SHIR---!!!!" Lyrica paused as she saw Shiro.

Her face instantly blushed as she tilted her head back to stop a nosebleed.

However, her eyes continued to stare at Shiro.

[Is there anything wrong with my face?] Shiro asked as she was curious.

"Just take a look yourself Shiro…" Lyrica muttered making sure to imprint the image into her mind.

Taking out a mirror, Shiro was surprised at her reflection.

Her face looked a lot more alluring now as there was less baby fat around her face. Her features were delicate as it made her seem surreal. Her skin had a rosy tint to it, urging people to give her skin a pinch.

One of the biggest changes was her hair. Originally, it had been pitch black in colour. However, it was now a dark midnight blue with streaks of white flaring at the tip of her hair.

'Huh… Well, I may need the lower face mask from Aarim sooner than I thought.' Shiro thought, storing away the mirror.

She never expected that levelling up a star brought such changes to her physical appearance as well.

- CHAPTER 51
----------------------------------------------------
Walking back to her room, Shiro frowned seeing another shadow.

Flexing her finger, a spike appeared and stabbed the shadow at the temple.

"Tsk. Stalker." Shiro frowned as she set a few traps around her room.

It took an hour before all the traps were laid out perfectly.

-----------------------------------------------------
Looking over at the auction house, Shiro narrowed her eyes as she could see a few figures watching it stealthily.

[Lyrica, I suggest you try to make yourself as unnoticeable as you can during the auction. If you make yourself known. then there is a big chance that you could get robbed at the end of the auction.] Shiro warned as Lyrica looked up.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

[Look above the auction house, the window of the 3rd house to the left, alleyway near the food stand, in the crowd of people looking at the pamphlets and finally look at one of the staff handing out the pamphlets.] Shiro typed out as Lyrica observed them all but couldn't notice anything wrong.

"Is there anything special about them?" She asked.

[Each and every one of them is observing who in the crowd looks the most wealthy. On top of that, they're also checking for the places which have cameras, and which places to best rob someone. The ones I've pointed out just now are only a small portion of these people. There are roughly 30+ of them surveying the area.] Shiro typed out as Lyrica paused in shock.

"Erm Shiro, let's not participate then." Lyrica said as Shiro only shook her head.

[We are most definitely going. You'll also be able to have a look at the atmosphere that comes with big auctions. Especially since you may be going to the auctions more often in the future.] Shiro smiled.

"I do believe they have no chance." Huan er replied. Trying to steal anything under the eyes of over 30 level 50's was a suicidal move for any level 33 no matter how powerful they may be.

- CHAPTER 54
----------------------------------------------
Narrowing her eyes, Shiro pulled her hood forward to cover her face along with her facemask.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom – Illusionary Phantom.

Her figure flickered as she disappeared from the auction hall.

Nan Tian widened his eyes slightly in surprise. In the slight moment she flickered; he had lost sight of her.

'Interesting. There wasn't any spike in mana so it must be a type of martial arts. A little bit similar to the martial arts of the Shadow Temple. Perhaps this was why the young master of the Shadow Temple wanted to keep his eyes on her.' Nan Tian thought as he too stood up.

- CHAPTER 54
----------------------------------------
Standing unnoticed at the collection hall, Shiro waited for the winner of the Awakening Stone to arrive.

'There he is.' She thought as she kept her presence small. Lewis Sanders was a tall man with long brown hair. His face was average but his aura was powerful.

[Lewis LVL 46 – Earth Mage]

Grabbing the stone quickly, he left the building.

Shiro followed him and noticed 2 other people doing the same thing as her.

'So it's going to be a 4 way battle.' Shiro thought.

Shadow Cloak.

Black mist wrapped around her as it merged with her body.

Jumping up onto the roofs, her body was barely visible even under the moonlight.

Activating Disguise, she hid her status under question marks.

[??? LVL ??? - ???]

This combined with the fact that her appearance and outfit couldn't be seen properly made for a decent disguise.

Crouching down, she narrowed her eyes at the three who started to fight.

- CHAPTER 54
------------------------------------------
Shiro, who was hiding by the roof of the buildings, frowned slightly when she saw where Lewis was running away to.

'Annoying.' Shiro thought.

Crouching down, Shiro put strength into her legs.

Yin Style Phantom Art: 1st Phantom + 2nd Phantom.

Her body flickered every so often as she dashed after Lewis.

Jumping up, she used her passive float combined with her phantom arts to scale the building quite easily.

- CHAPTER 55
--------------------------------------
*BZZZ!!

She suddenly heard lightning behind her and quickly reacted accordingly.

Twisting her body, she slammed her palms into the ground and activated her skills.

Icy Touch + Tier 2 Ice Magic.

*BOOM!!!!!

The lightning missed her narrowly as the aftershock sent her back.

"Kuah!" Shiro coughed slightly from the force.

"Hand over the stone girl!" Paul shouted.

Flaring her mana, Shiro didn't say anything as ice erupted outwards.

"Tsk! When did this city get such a strong Ice user?!" Cain clicked his tongue as the ice pushed him back once more.

- CHAPTER 55
------------------------------------
Shiro made an ice spear in her hand as she twisted her body on the ice.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom – Counter Weight Phantom.

Throwing the spear with as much force as she could, Shiro then crouched low and increased her speed towards the golem.

*BOOM!!!!

The moment the spear touched the golem, the golem was frozen over instantly.

"AHH!!" Lewis was thrown off the golem as he landed heavily across the ground.

- CHAPTER 55
---------------------------------------------
Looking around, Shiro tried to think of an exit plan.

However, Cain didn't let her as he started to attack with lethal force.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Fire spears, bombs, chains and cages erupted around Shiro.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom + 2nd Phantom + Faded Snow Movement.

Her body flickered and escaped the bombardment with relative ease.

Landing on the wall of the building, Shiro's eyes glowed with a neon blue as her killing intent increased.

A blizzard started to pick up while the surrounding area was being completely frozen over.

'Since you want to kill this miss, then it means you're ready to be killed yourself.' Shiro thought as her body faded into the blizzard.

Seeing that this was beyond their league, both Paul and Lewis ran away from the scene.
['EASILY' DODGES MULTIPLE FIRE BASED ATTACKS SIMULTANEOUSLY AND BLENDS IN WITH HER OWN BLIZZARD]
- CHAPTER 55
---------------------------------------------
Slamming his palms down, fire erupted outwards. Easily overpowering the blizzard.

Shiro was a small distance behind him with her dagger ready. It wasn't a NanoTech dagger since she could feel a constant gaze on her. Therefore she settled with one of the daggers she kept spare from the Yeti Dungeon.

Floating slightly above the ground, Shiro made sure she didn't make a sound.

Creeping up to Cain, Shiro reached out her hand slowly.

Since she was using her 1st Phantom, Faded Snow Movement and Shadow Cloak to keep her presence at a minimum, Cain didn't notice her.

The moment her arms were almost around his neck, she snapped to action.

*PUSHI!

The dagger slit across Cain's neck as her other hand dug deep. Feeling the contact with the spine, Shiro twisted it and broke it in the process.

Increasing the effectiveness of her Icy Touch, Shiro froze Cain from the inside out.
[SHIRO STEALTH KILLS A LEVEL 50]

-------------------------------------------
Suddenly feeling the source of the gaze come closer, Shiro flicked her wrist and sent a dagger flying towards it.

"Ai. So feisty." Nan Tian said as he caught the dagger between his fingers.

Shiro's breath halted for a second as she saw him.

[Nan Tian LVL??? - ???]

'Sh*t! Why would someone of his level be in this city.' Shiro thought as sweat dripped down her forehead.

"I have to say little snow, nice work." Nan Tian said as Shiro kept a neutral face.

- CHAPTER 55
---------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Shiro who had just returned back to the dorm, undid her Shadow Cloak and pulled down her face mask. She had erased all of the blood marks with her ice so she looked like she didn't get into a fight.

Thankfully, the shadow cloak made it so that they didn't recognise her. The only problem was Li Nan Tian.
[CLEANS BLOOD WITH ICE, SHADOW CLOAK MAKES HER UNRECOGNISABLE]
- CHAPTER 56
------------------------------------------
As they were walking back home, Shiro narrowed her eyes when she saw Nan Tian's figure on the roof of a building.

'What is he doing.' She thought.

[Head back first, I'll join you in a second.] Shiro typed out.

"Hm, alright. Just don't stay out too long." Lyrica nodded.

Once she was out of sight, she hopped onto the roof easily.
[JUMPS TO A ROOFTOP WITH EASE]
- CHAPTER 60
------------------------------------
She contemplated about changing her current outfit so that she could let loose a little.

'If I used the first phantom, I should be mostly ok.' Shiro thought since the 1st phantom of the Yin style phantom arts helped a lot in terms of stealth.

The ability to minimalize your presence to trick your opponent's brain and make them ignore you were amazing in the heat of battle.

It was also this that helped her kill the level 50 mage. She was able to strike his weak point when his guard was down. If it wasn't for this factor, then the fight would most definitely be harder than what it was.

-----------------------------------------
"START!"

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom + Cold Aura + Tier 2 Ice Magic + Icy Touch + Faded Snow Movement.

She slammed her palms down which caused a tsunami of cold mist to shoot outwards.

*CRRRR!!!!!

The arena was freezing at an abnormal pace as the participants couldn't escape the ice locking their feet to the ground.

Shiro's body flickered for a moment and faded out of view.

Clenching her fist, the ice between the participant's legs started to tremble. She flicked her wrist and blunted Ice Spikes shot upwards.

"ARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Layers upon layers of tearful cries were heard as Shiro eliminated a large group of people in a short burst of time.

Grinning slightly, Shiro dashed towards the top 500 layer before anyone else.
