Nanomancer Reborn 11-20

Looking at the 4-meter-long serpent with grey scales, Shiro readjusted her grip on the hammer.

She stepped hard as she dragged the hammer behind her.

Sprinting towards the serpent at full speed, Shiro started to freeze the ground beneath her as her momentum increase further.

Hitting the peak of her speed, Shiro elevated the Ice and made a ramp.

"It's hammer time!" Shiro shouted with a grin even though Lyrica couldn't hear her.

To make sure she dealt the most amount of damage, she activated the skill that came with her [Fire Spirit Infused Power Gauntlet (Blue) LVL20]. The skill was [Power Boost] which gave her an 100% increase to damage and +15 STR for 20 seconds at the cost of receiving 30% more damage during the 20 seconds it was activated.

Jumping off the ramp, Shiro twisted her body as she used her entire strength to smash the hammer against the serpent's head.

*BOOM!!!!

The collision caused a miniature shockwave to explode out as the serpent recoiled backwards.

*SSSSS!!!!

It hissed at her with a glare.

Wrapping its body up into a coil, the serpent's head shot towards Shiro as if the head itself was spring locked.

Shiro flicked her finger upwards creating a ramp. The ramp had a gentle curve which redirected the serpent's attack.

The ramp redirected the serpent's attack in a clockwise direction so Shiro twisted her body anticlockwise. The hammer and the head met up as the two forces clashed once more.

'Am I even needed here?' Lyrica thought to herself as she knew Shiro could probably kill the boss on her own.

- CHAPTER 11
-----------------------
Stabbing the blade into the ground, she vaulted herself upwards as she slashed at the back of the serpent.

The slashes only made a few shallow scratches as Lyrica landed and retreated.

However, she had accidentally retreated into the path of the tail as she shut her eyes and brought up her hands to protect herself.

*CRRRR!!!!

Lyrica heard a freezing sound as she reopened her eyes.

The tail was frozen a few meters away from hitting her. She turned towards Shiro and saw that she was crouched as a trail of Ice extended from her palms towards the tail.

"T-Thanks." Lyrica replied stuttering slightly as her nerves were a little tense right now.

Shiro nodded as she kicked back and hit the serpent on the side of the jaw. Following her momentum, the hammer stuck the serpent on the underside of the jaw.

'Wow!' Lyrica was amazed at how Shiro was fighting. All of her movements seem natural as it didn't matter if she was using a foreign weapon or not. It was as if she knew the best ways to utilise each of their strengths.
[FREEZING 4 METRE LONG BOSS SNAKES TAIL BEFORE IT CAN HIT SOMEONE, IS A WEAPON MASTER]
- CHAPTER 11
---------------------------------------
Blocking another strike of the serpent, Shiro became slightly annoyed at the serpent.

*BANG!

She hit the jaw of the serpent as she sent it stumbling backwards.

Holding the hammer with one hand, Shiro started scribbled something down before kicking the notepad towards Lyrica.

In the time she was writing, Shiro dodge every one of the serpent's attacks without much problems.

Lyrica picked up the note as she read what Shiro wrote down.

[The cloaca or anus of a serpent is 3/4ths down the body. You'll have to lift up a scale and the hole should be present. There is only one hole so you can't miss.]

-------------------------------------
[Nano Growth Infuser Prototype Mk 1 – LVL 20 (Blue+)]

Apply to a weapon at or below LVL 20. Adds the passive skill [Nano Growth] at the expense of consuming some of the weapon attributes.

Nano Growth – Consumes the weapon's attributes and allow it to evolve. The weapon will lose 5 levels but when evolved to the max level of the Infuser (LVL 20), its final attributes are much higher than the base value.

As this is the prototype, the weapon will only experience a slight increase in attribute growth when it reaches level 20.

The orb in Shiro's hands is one of the most beneficial items she could create with her Nanomancer class. It took the growth like properties of her Nanobots and it would infuse it to a weapon.

As for the reason it would evolve the weapon, it was due to the unique reaction the Nanobots had to mana.

When a person's level grew, the mana would also grow along with them.

The Nanobots recognised this growth and it would increase the levels of the items the host could make. However, the level will never exceed what the host's level was.

The [Nano Growth Infuser] was something Shiro had designed in her past life. At the max capacity she had managed to reach, it increased a weapons attribute by more than 80%. However, she wasn't able to see if it could go any further due to her death.

[HAS A NANO INFUSER THROUGH NANOMANCY THAT MASSIVELY BUFFS THE WEAPONS SHE USES]
- CHAPTER 14
----------------------------------
Examples being armour, vehicles and even bunkers. The largest creation she had ever made in her lifetime was the flying fortress – Seraphim.

The flying fortress was one of the key factors in ending a battle that had raged across the continent.

Spanning over several tens of miles in diameter, she had an army help her make use of all the functions Seraphim came with.

Cannons, Rail Guns, Drones, Acceleration, Barriers etc.

Raining destruction onto the land below, her flying fortress turned the tides of war into a one sided slaughter.

- CHAPTER 14
------------------------------
When she recycles her equipment using the Nanomancer class, she's able to reprint the skills that came with the equipment to a new one at a later date. Naturally, she would keep the original skill stored in her data bank.

Same goes for her inherit skills.

When her MP regenerated to full, Shiro closed her eyes as she envisioned the skill compartments. It was more like an addon than anything.

Printing the skill [Disguise] onto a small nano chip, Shiro inserted it into the Infuser.

She smiled seeing the Infuser take the skill without any backlash.

Inserting mana into the weapon, she tried to use [Disguise] once more.

Her smile widened as she saw it succeed.

This was because the Disguise skill only disguised the information of the possessor of this skill. So her theory was if she imprinted the skill onto the weapon, it would be able to disguise itself as the weapon now became the possessor of the skill.

Editing the information a little, she was left with this.

[Dual Ended Poison Blades (Blue) LVL 10/20]

Creator: Helion

+10/25 STR

Requirements to Evolve into LVL 15:

5x E rank Mana Stone

2x LVL 15 Sword type weapons

The Disguise skill will be active continuously until the weapon ran out of durability.

With this, she's managed to hide any signs of her involvement along with the fact that it was Nano tech. Of course, she couldn't go without a failsafe.
[SHE CAN MIX AND MATCH ANY SKILL SHE HAS ONTO ANY WEAPON, PUTTING AN INFINITE POTENTIAL AMOUNT OF ADDONS ONTO ANY WEAPON OR ARMOUR]
- CHAPTER 14
------------------------------------
Gathering mana, Shiro created a mana recogniser addon as she placed it into the Infuser.

The Mana Recogniser addon was a simple device that acted like a lock. Should someone with a foreign mana try to access the Nano bot infused weapons, the Nano bots would undergo a self-destruct phase that wipes out all traces.
[HAS A FAILSAFE THAT DESTROYS A WEAPON IF SOMEONE ELSE TRIES TO USE IT]
- CHAPTER 14
----------------------------------
The location was just on the outskirts of the city as it would take roughly 30mins even with her AGI.

Shiro didn't mind though as she dashed towards the location. She froze the ground under her feet as she started to skate towards the location at a much faster pace.

Taking routes through the alleyways and rooftops, Shiro avoided most pedestrian's attention.

She didn't leave any traces of Ice behind her either as that would be troublesome if incidents happened because of this.

In just 20 minutes, Shiro arrived at the Dungeon location.

[CAN SKATE ON HER ICE TO GET AROUND FASTER AND DELETE ICE AT WILL]
- CHAPTER 14
--------------------------------
Twisting her body, Shiro threw both daggers at the opening before flipping backwards.

As expected, the Ant closed its mouth causing the daggers to bounce off.

Shiro grinned as she clutched her hand causing the daggers to explode into two pillars of Ice. The pillars of Ice was formed in front of the Ant which blocked its path.

The Ant stumbled at the sudden obstacle.

Seeing the Ant stop in its tracks, Shiro activated the traps she set earlier.

*KSH KSH KSH KSH KSH KSH!!!

Several Ice spikes shot down from the ceiling as it formed a cage around the Ant. Some of the spikes struck the Ant's body as it constructed a scaffold with the other spikes to reinforce the structural integrity.

*KRRRRR!!!!

The Ant cried out in anger when it felt the Ice locking down its movements.
[CAN USE HER DAGGERS TO CREATE MASSIVE ICE PILLARS]
- CHAPTER 15
-------------------------------------------
"Sleep my child." Shiro grinned as the temperature dropped around her. Using her Snow Magic, the tunnels became a winter wonderland of ice and snow.

The Ant raged as it wanted to try keep itself active but despaired feeling its own movements become sluggish.

Due to the fact that its primary physiology resembles that of an ant, when the temperature decreases, the Bombard Frag Ant would enter a hibernation phase.

Giving Shiro one last glare, the ant collapsed under its own weight and entered deep hibernation.

"Heheh~ One shouldn't always fight a hard battle. Fighting smart is just as important." Shiro smiled and walked over to the ant.

[HP: 31,250/38,000]

Its HP was decreasing every second as Shiro made sure it was encased in ice.

Placing her palm on the Ice, Shiro started to control the ice so it slowly cut away at the ant's head.

The more she cut into the skull, the faster the HP of the ant dropped until the brain was in sight.

Without a single shred of mercy, Shiro controlled the ice to destroy the brain, killing the Bombard Frag Ant with it not even being able to retaliate.

- CHAPTER 15
--------------------------------------
"You're only just a huge target." Shiro said as her pupils glowed a menacing blue.

A blizzard started to form as Ice spread out with her being the centre. The snow fall increased as it eventually encompassed the entire room.

With the snow blocking the sight, the overall temperature hid Shiro from the Trickster's senses.

*IRRRREEEEE!!

The flesh puppet screamed out as one of its arms was pierced by a dagger.

Turning the head towards the dagger, the teeth on his body twitched as it sensed danger.

*BOOM!

The dagger exploded into a mass of ice causing the Trickster to stumble from the force and use its arms to stabilise itself.

Two floating blue lights tracked it down as another dagger hit the face and exploded.

[CAN OBSCURE AN ENEMIES SENSES WITH HER BLIZZARDS WHILE NOT OBSCURING HER OWN]
- CHAPTER 15
---------------------------------
The Trickster was enraged as the flesh puppet shrank its body down before expanding out with teeth extending for several meters.

Shiro frowned seeing this as two of the teeth that extended outwards had almost hit her. If not for Faded Snow Movement that turned a portion of her body to snow and mist, it would have pierced her left shoulder and right thigh.

Moving towards the Trickster, Shiro narrowed her eyes as she dodged the teeth strikes.

[FADED SNOW MOVEMENT USED TO PHASE THROUGH ATTACKS]
- CHAPTER 15
-----------------------------------
Mana started to gather at her palms as the sheer amount of mana she was gathering became visible to the eye.

'Focus and explode.' Shiro thought as she was within touching distance of the flesh puppet.

*BOOOMMM!!!!!

A giant explosion of ice fanned out as it cut the flesh puppet in two before freezing the bisected part of the puppet.

The chest shivered seeing the puppet die as Shiro didn't give it the chance to escape.

Her two eyes glowed menacingly above the chest while she summoned a Ice spear and pierced the chest.

Twisting the spear, the tip enlarged like a blowfish as a multitude of ice spikes penetrated and destroyed the Trickster.

[CLOSE RANGE EXPLOSIVE ICE BEFORE GOING KAIKLI BEY WITH A SPEAR]
- CHAPTER 15
-------------------------------------
Tapping the second floor on the obelisk, her body was teleported away.

*CLANG CLANG!

The moment she was teleported, Shiro felt killing intent and summoned her two daggers.

Looking above her, she could see two ants with blades for arms.

"Wow, so hasty to kill me so soon." Shiro grinned at the challenge.

[SHIRO DISCOVERING HIDDEN ANTS THROUGH SENSING BLOODLUST]
- CHAPTER 16
---------------------------------
Two blades cut above and below her. If she stayed still, the blades would have hit her head and legs.

Reaching out to touch the flat sides of the blades, Shiro froze the Ants just before she landed once more.

In that short exchange, Shiro had managed to freeze 5 Ants.

"Damn, you guys are relentless." Shiro commented as she shattered the ice and killed all 5 ants.

[HER ICE CAN INSTANTLY FREEZE GIANT ANTS TO THE POINT THAT SHATTERING THE ICE KILLS THEM]
- CHAPTER 16
--------------------------
Stepping down as hard as she could, Shiro build up for force and momentum as she threw the spear as hard as she could.

Flicking her fingers, the spear broke apart mid-air.

"Break!" Shiro shouted as each of the pieces exploded into pillars that crushed several ants.

The ants became enraged as Shiro only grinned.

Sliding across the ground, she erected two ice blocks and sent them forward.

*BOOM BOOM

Ants could be seen flying through the air from the force of the collision.

'Not enough, faster, more efficient, more ruthless.' Shiro thought in her mind as she still wasn't fighting to her full capacity.

The shorter arm reach, the weaker muscles, the height and the stamina. Everything was a factor that she needed to get used to or else she can kiss full body control goodbye.

Bending her body backwards, she evaded two blades as both her hands touched the floor.

When her hands came into contact with the floor, two ice spikes shot up piercing the ants.

Putting strength into her arms, Shiro flipped backwards and slid across the ground.

There was a trail of ice wherever she touched as she could be seen gathering mana in her palms.

*BOOM!!!

Spontaneous explosions rang out with ice spikes shooting out from every direction and skewered the ants.

"An army is fine. But you're not going to overwhelm me that easily." Shiro grinned seeing the destruction that laid before her.

Clutching her fists, all of the ice shattered killing a majority of the ants.

[Sensory – Passive]

Natural senses are heightened slightly.

It wasn't a massive boost, but it was welcomed since it helped her perceive her surroundings better.

[SHIRO HAS MINOR ENHANCED SENSES]
- CHAPTER 16
----------------------------------------
A few Bladed Frag Ant Drones wanted to ambush her but failed. They were, in essence, cannon fodder. Without a giant army to swarm the person, they were easy to kill.

Naturally, this was what Shiro thinks. Most parties needed at least a healer to help them kill a [Bladed Frag Ant Drone]. This was attributed to the fact that their instincts and body control paled in comparison to Shiro.

Ignoring the fact that her strength was limited, her control and instincts were the finest even amongst veterans of combat.

[SHIRO IS WAY MORE SKILLED THAN THE AVERAGE ADVENTURER]
- CHAPTER 16
--------------------------------------
'First, concussive shock. Test the reaction when robbed of its sensory.' Shiro thought as she dashed towards the millipede.

Twirling the blade by the handle, she threw it towards the short antennas. The speed was decreased dramatically as most of the force was focused on making it spin through the air.

The millipede raised its head as the daggers bounced on both antennas.

*CRR!

Freezing the antennas, Shiro jumped backwards immediately seeing the desired effect.

Without hesitation, the millipede rolled into a ball.

'Is that all?' Shiro thought with a frown.

*KISHIN!

The millipede's blade-like legs protruded from the side of its body while the shell spiked up abnormally like a porcupine's quills.

She wasn't sure how the millipede was generating the forces for it to spin on the spot, but she knew it was preparing to go on a rampage.

[INSTANTLY FREEZES AN 8 METRE LONG MILLIPEDES EYES WHEN NOT GOING ALL OUT]
- CHAPTER 17
--------------------------------------
The sound of blades cutting through rock could be heard as she knew it was rolling around to try hit everything due to a loss of its sensory.

------------------------------------------
'With the blades being mostly concentrated on its underbelly, it may be a natural defence due to its weakness.'

Raising up her arms, Shiro gritted her teeth slightly as ice started to form under the millipede.

*CCRRRR!!!

The ice raised the millipede into air little by little as it tried to claw away at the ice.

Flexing her fingers, Shiro froze the bladed legs in their place

Making a sharp ice spear, she took aim and threw the spear.

*TSSSSS!!!!

Chemicals sprayed out from under the millipede as Shiro watched all the ice melt visibly.

'It has ridiculous armour, bladed feet and chemicals…unless you try to overpower it, you won't kill it in anytime soon. And if I try to fight it in a battle of attrition, it's not worth the effort.'

"However… I want to see just how I will pry your shell open." Shiro grinned.

- CHAPTER 17
-------------------------------------
Running towards the millipede before the swords even finish being crafted, Shiro stepped down hard as a pillar of ice extended out and pierced towards its legs.

Four of the millipede's legs reacted as it cut the pillar into small sections that did it no harm.

"Surprise~" Shiro appeared near the legs as they couldn't retract in time.

The sword formed fully in her hands as she twisted her body and cut the legs.

*KREEEE!!!

The millipede screamed feeling 6 of its legs cut off in one go.

"Aiya~ Just as sharp as I remembered." Shiro grinned.

[CUTS OFF THE GIANT MILLIPEDE'S LEGS, SAID LEGS ARE SHARP ENOUGH TO CUT THROUGH ROCK WITH EASE AS WELL AS SEVERAL METRES WORTH OF ICE]
- CHAPTER 17
---------------------------------
Landing softly, she slammed her hands down and created a wall of ice just under the millipede raising it up into the air.

Once again, the millipede tried to use its chemicals but Shiro was way ahead of it.

Clutching her fist, the ice pillars lifting the millipede up exploded into a myriad of spikes penetrating its weak lower body.

Chemicals went everywhere as Shiro had to shift her location several times to avoid getting dowsed in corrosive liquid.

Dragging the sword on the ground, Shiro dashed towards the underbelly.

[LIFTS GIANT MILLIPEDE WITH PILLAR SUMMONED FROM UNDERNEATH IT THEN EXPLODES SAID PILLAR FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE]
- CHAPTER 17
----------------------------------
The sword ripped through the soft armour with barely any resistance.

Using Faded Snow Movement, Shiro quickly avoided some of the bladed feet trying to kill her.

Twisting her body, she escaped from under the millipede.

[HP: 43,000/80,000]

Her attacks proved to be extremely effective as the health was dropping rapidly.

[FADED SNOW MOVEMENT TO PHASE THROUGH MULTIPLE CUTTING ATTACKS]
- CHAPTER 17
----------------------------------
Shiro quickly dissembled her sword to regain her mana and used [Harden].

[Harden]

Harden's your skin for increased defence.

+35 DEF and -20% damage taken -20% AGI

Duration: 30 seconds.

Cooldown: 2 minutes.

A silver metallic sheen seems to cover her body as she placed her palm on the ground and used the remainder of her MP to create a giant wall of ice.

*BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!!

Layers upon layers of Ice walls shot up in front of Shiro as she quickly braced for impact.

*BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It felt like the entire Dungeon shook as Shiro was blasted backwards from the explosion. Even when her ice walls absorbed most of the impact, the force hitting her body still launched her backwards.

Rolling on the ground a few times, she made sure to use her arms to protect her head.

When she finally stopped rolling, Shiro quickly put her guard up in case any blade ants wanted to ambush her.

"Fuuu….." She sighed out seeing that there was no danger and checked her HP and MP.

Stumbling on her feet, Shiro limped towards the obelisk.

What used to be the space for a boss fight was now covered in corrosive chemicals, flesh, blades and armour.

Looking around, Shiro was sure the walls per pushed back by quite a remarkable amount as the explosion must have taken some of the cave walls with it.

It was a known fact that Dungeon walls are one of and if not THE strongest material known ever. The material scaled up in level as the higher level the Dungeon, the sturdier walls.

For the boss to be able to shave off quite a few layers of the wall, shows just how absurd that explosion was.

-----------------------------------
'I think I'll stick to my Passive Regeneration for now.' Shiro concluded. There was another skill she would like to get, it was the top tier regeneration skill of monsters called [Cell Rebirth].

It was a skill that is both passive and active as the monster can use its own MP and exchange it for health. The known limits of this skill were the power to regrow anything that doesn't destroy over 80 to 90% of your body.

Just remembering the sight of a level 100+ monster regenerating all of its lost HP made Shiro curse at the perverted skill.

With that being said, she wanted the skill as well since it would increase her survivability by a large amount. Not only that, she was currently a monster so there may be a chance for that in the future.

[POTENTIAL UPGRADE - REGENERATION OF UP TO 90% OF YOUR BODY]

-----------------------------------
The boss hovered in the air was the transparent wings flapped at incredible speeds.

"…" Shiro stared at the boss with a bland expression.

Flicking her finger, a huge ice spike shot up as the queen wanted to evade.

Suddenly, the tip of the spike opened up like a flower as the smaller spikes pierced the wings, suspending the queen in mid-air.

"When you expose such weak wings and stay in the same spot, you're asking to be killed." Shiro said without a smile. Her azure eyes bore into the queen's eyes as Shiro created two daggers whilst the queen seemed to be shocked.

*KSH KSH!

Slicing the wings off in a few simple movements, Shiro kicked the queen's head as she leapt off and landed softly.

Enraged, the queen's body started to enlarge as the armour became the colour of quartz with a slight rainbow pearlescent tint onto of the quartz.

From the wounds of her old wings, neon blue mana gathered together to form 2 pairs of wings.

"Much better." Shiro grinned at the feeling of challenge.

"Let me make the playing field fair first." Shiro said as mana gathered in her palms.

Using her passive cold aura, she enhanced the freezing power of cold aura with her tier 2 ice magic.

*CRRRRR

The entire ruin started to freeze over as Shiro was now able to attack the ant queen wherever the ice was present.

The queen's eyes glowed slightly when she saw the ice.

[SHIRO ICES OVER A LARGE THRONE ROOM IN AN INSTANT FOR USE IN OMNIDIRECTIONAL ATTACKING]

Shiro felt her body shiver for a moment as she recognised an incoming danger.

Quickly rolling to her left, she turned a portion of her body into snow.

*BOOM!!!!

The spot she was in exploded as Shiro quickly turned to the spot and saw a fire javelin.

"You've got to be kidding." Shiro muttered seeing the queen shift to the fire element.

[SHIRO SENSES DANGER COMING THROUGH INTUITION AND SURVIVES A SURPRISE ATTACK]

--------------------------------------
Several hollow echo's rang out as Shiro sliced away at the shield.

Swinging her hand downwards, Shiro created another ramp of ice as she dodged a breath of lightning.

Pressing both daggers together. Shiro made a Nano Craft Sword and sliced upwards.

The queen flew backwards, dodging the strike.

Shiro landed hard on the ground and quickly looked towards the queen.

[SHIRO DODGES MAGICAL LIGHTNING]
- CHAPTER 18
---------------------------------------
"Che, only 50k MP was used so far." Shiro muttered as she slammed her palms onto the ground.

An ice pillar shot out the ground as it aimed for the queen.

Opening the mandibles on her mouth, Shiro could see the queen use fire breath to melt the pillar.

Flicking her wrist, Shiro caused a giant ice clamp to close in on the queen.

*BOOM!

The clamp caused a huge ripple in the mana barrier as the queen was jammed between the two clamps.

The queen's eyes glistened as she slammed her arms outwards and destroyed the clamp. Pushing more mana into her wings, the queen dashed towards Shiro.

Stomping down hard, Shiro caused a giant wave of ice to shoot towards the queen but she sliced it in half easily.

What greeted the queen, however, was a giant blizzard.

Snow obscured her sights as she tried to sense Shiro but failed.

*BOOM!

A sudden explosion of ice surprised the queen as the attack hit behind her.

Flicking her bladed hands, the queen sent several wind blades over to try cut Shiro.

Unknown to her, a pair of azure eyes were tracking her.

[SHIRO COUNTERING A FIRE USER CAPABLE OF INSTANTLY MELTING HER ICE THROUGH CREATIVE USAGE OF HER POWERS]
- CHAPTER 18
----------------------------------------------
Her goal was for the dagger to interrupt the queen when she's still charging her attack. However, she needed to time it correctly as interrupting too early wouldn't drain as much mana and interrupt too late means the queen firing the death beam off.

She eyed the attack as pressure was at an all-time high.

'Now!' She thought, throwing the dagger with her full strength.

The timing was a little early as the attack was around 75% charged. However, any further would be dangerous territory.

Clenching her fist, she caused the dagger to explode.

*BOOOMMMM!!!

This caused a chain reaction as the breath attack was forcefully stopped. Since it wasn't fully ready, the attack exploded in the queen's face.

[MP: 130,000/300,000]

'Not bad.' Shiro thought since the failed attack managed to wipe out almost 100k worth of mana.

[TRACKS THE CHARGING OF AN ATTACK AND INTERRUPTS IT PERFECTLY WITH HER DAGGER EXPLOSIONS]
- CHAPTER 18
-----------------------------------------
Twisting her body to avoid the blades, Shiro grabbed one of the queen's armour plates.

The force felt like it could tear her arms off as she gritted her teeth.

The queen thrashed her legs around as she tried to kick Shiro off her back.

Using Faded Snow Movement, Shiro avoided the blades as she pulled herself on the queens back with some difficulty.

Pressing her palms on the gap between the 2 pairs of wings, Shiro narrowed her eyes.

[SHIRO PHASING THROUGH MORE BLADED ATTACKS]
- CHAPTER 18
------------------------------------
'Mana Extractor, Transfer Vent.' Shiro thought as she couldn't make anything more with the remainder of her MP.

A device was being created in her palms as it ate into the queen's shell causing her to scream.

The nano bots were ruthless as they ate away at anything blocking their path so they could make the device.

The device had its own limits as Shiro was borrowing from the queen's mana pool to make up for what she lacks.

The Mana Extractor was used to take the mana that was being fuelled into the wings and the Transfer Vent was used to give Shiro some of the mana.

Sweat was dripping from her head as she was pushing her creation a little. What she had unlocked right now was Nano Tech Engineering Tier 1. Both the Mana Extractor and the Transfer Vent were something she should have made when she was Tier 3.

The cost was low, but the physical burden was huge.

Blood started to drip from her hands as the nano bots continued to be produced trying to form the device.

When the device was finished, there was a pool of blood dripping from her fingers as Shiro had to endure the pain.

Her HP was also dropping little by little as she tried to create something out of her league.

Naturally, the queen wasn't letting Shiro stay on her back. But no matter how she tried to shake Shiro off, she kept an iron grip stopping herself from falling.

[Crappy Mana Extractor Prototype]

-93% efficiency

'I know it's crap but did you have to title it Crappy Mana Extractor?'

Activating the Crappy Mana Extractor, Shiro let a minuscule amount of MP enter her as the wings of the queen shimmered. The amount of mana that was being absorbed compared to the amount being transferred to her was very inefficient.

However, the main goal of the Mana Extractor was to drain the Mana from the queen.

[MP: 0/300,000]

When the MP was completely drained, the queen plummeted towards the ground as Shiro kicked off the back and landed on her feet.

[SHIRO CREATES A MANA MACHINE THAT EATS AWAY AT THE FLESH OF WHAT SHE USES IT ON, STEALS THE OPPONENTS MANA, AND GIVES IT TO HER]

--------------------------------------
An ice pillar erupted under her as Shiro dodged the strike.

She gritted her teeth as she endured the pain from her arm.

Stabbing her dagger into the ice pillar, she twisted it and a myriad of ice spikes shot out from the pillar.

Due to the close proximity of the queen and the pillar, she wasn't able to block it and was struck several times.

Letting go of the dagger, Shiro controlled the ice to make a gap and launched the dagger into the queen's face.

*BOOMMM!!!!!

The dagger exploded into a cluster of sharps dealing more damage to the queen.

"You're my hostage for now. Please bear with it as I'll return your freedom once the danger has cleared." He said quickly as his voice was deep and alluring.

Or at least what would have been alluring to others, but Shiro just found the voice to be infuriating.

[Lucius LVL 50 – Shadow Walker]

Lucius put strength into his legs as he leapt over a building and onto the roof.

Gritting her teeth, Shiro push strength into her lower body as she flipped upwards with him still grabbing onto her.

Her left palm aimed at his head while a torrent of snow and cold air covered him.

Lucius frowned when he felt killing intent but realised the temperature was dropping dramatically.

His movements were being dulled whilst frost started to coagulate on his body.

Quickly letting go of the girl, he stumbled back in surprise. Even if he was injured right now, not many people should have the ability to hurt him never mind a level 25.

[HARMS A LEVEL 50 WITH HER ICE AURA]

-------------------------------------
Pulling out a tablet, he aimed it at Shiro's arm before pulling back.

The tablet was like a transportable X-ray machine as it used mana to take an internal diagnosis of the patient.

"What the f*ck!?!!!" He cried out in surprise at the extent of the injury.

"How the hell did you even get this injured just on your right arm!!" He asked looking at Shiro.

Shrugging as a response, she didn't let him know about the nano bots.

"What's wrong with her?" Lyrica asked.

"It seems like your friend decided to drop a f*cking house on her arm. Every bone in her right arm is fractured if not broken. The muscles are ripped to shreds, and hell! Her tendons are on the verge of snapping!" Hans said as this was one of the most insane injuries he had ever seen.

"This type of injury isn't something the potions can heal. If you use the potions, there is a chance that the injury will become permanent. However, her body seems to be actively trying to heal her. I guess it would take anywhere from a week to a month for her arm to heal so, the best course of action is to not give the arm any shock. Let it heal naturally." Hans concluded standing up.

"The most I can do for you is to give you some pain resistant pills." Hans offered.

[Please, that would help a lot.]

Whilst Hans went to get the pain resistant pills, Shiro refroze the cast on her arm.

"Shiro, tell me honestly. How did your arm get that injured? I want to know the truth." Lyrica asked with a deep frown.

[Just an accident when fighting, I'll be fine after 10 days.]

[SHIRO FOUGHT WITH HER ARM IN THIS STATE FOR AN EXTENDED BATTLE PRETTY WELL AND INJURIES ON THIS LEVEL ONLY TAKE 10 DAYS TO HEAL]
