Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 99 Harbinger's Song

Her skill, Frozen Slumber, was able to hold the boss back slightly, but she was struggling. Sweat could be seen dripping off her head while she would occasionally glance back to check the progress.

"Silvia, hurry up!" Jonas shouted whilst attacking the boss.

"I'm trying!!" Silvia replied feeling the pressure build up.

"ANNOYING!" The boss roared out, annoyed at the fact that a weak Snow Girl was currently suppressing him with her skill.

Blood Arts: Blood Armoury!

Weapons made from blood appeared around him as he narrowed his eyes at Shiro. Since he couldn't move, he would use long-ranged projectile magic instead.

"DIE!"

Sending the weapons towards Shiro, he wanted to get rid of her first since she was the only one capable of pinning him down. The moment she died; the rest of the party would naturally follow.

Not releasing her hold on the boss, Shiro stomped down as a rotating ice shield was quickly erected in front of her.

*DANG DANG DANG DANG!

Due to the shape and the speed of the shield, the blood weapons were deflected away from Shiro.

'Tsk…' Shiro thought as she glanced back once more. Silvia still hadn't finished regenerating Trace's leg just yet.

With her MP being consumed at a disgusting rate, she had to stop her spell soon. Plus, to make matters worse, her links were starting to hurt a lot more.

"Little Yin, help reinforce the chains I have on his body." Shiro said as Yin nodded.

Ice Chains x2.

The boss only scoffed as he sent a shockwave out from his body, shattering the ice chains. Fortunately, the boss still wasn't able to break out of Frozen Slumber.

"I don't know how you acquired such a strong skill but know this. I know that you can't keep this up! A skill like this would take a lot of mana and the moment this skill stops, YOU. WILL. DIE!!" The boss shouted out in an attempt to try to make Shiro conserve her MP.

"Yeah yeah I got it. Now be a good puppy and sit still for this miss ok? My friend needs a little second wind." Shiro retorted.

*PUCHI!

The dragon felt a vein burst as his vision became red.

"WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU CALLING A PUPPY!!!!" He roared out and stretched his body as much as he could.

Shiro gritted her teeth and exerted more force into trying to push her hands together. However, her hands were slowly forced apart from the dragon rampaging inside the spell.

"It's done!" Silvia shouted out, clearly tired from healing Trace.

"Run!" Jonas shouted out since he could tell that Shiro couldn't hold the boss back any longer.

Trace quickly nodded and grabbed Silvia by the waist and dashed away from the scene.

*PING!

The spell shattered apart as the boss clawed his way to Shiro.

Shiro threw an MP potion into her mouth and dashed towards the boss.

Once she was close enough, she sent out her killing intent and froze the surroundings. The boss, who was hit with the full brunt of her killing intent, halted mid-step before an ice pillar slammed into his chest.

"GARRR!!!!" The boss screamed with anger as he powered through the ice pillar and broke it apart with brute force.

Shiro jumped up and twisted her body in mid-air. An ice hammer appeared in her hands as she narrowed her eyes at the dragon's head.

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

*BANG!!!

The hammer shattered apart the moment it hit its head due to how much force Shiro had exerted into the hammer. The hit had also sent the boss stumbling back slightly due to the fact that she had hit him on the side of the head, where it was easiest to disorientate him.

Landing softly, Shiro regrouped with the party.

"Since Shiro can't talk, I'll quickly explain some strategies that may help us in beating this boss." Jonas said while they were running around the boss room.

"Main problem, the boss's dragon form. We can assume that this isn't permanent and that it stops him from using most of his skills. I'm only guessing this so don't take it for granted. If it's on a timer, the best thing we can do is to try to delay him a little. Shiro is the main tank since she's the only one who can actively stand against the boss without being blown away. The rest of us will use long-ranged attacks to damage the boss in the meantime." Jonas said quickly.

Shiro nodded and split away from the group.

Dashing towards the dragon, Shiro made an ice javelin before throwing it accurately at the eyes of the dragon.

*Ping!

However, the dragon only batted an eyelid to deflect the javelin. Mana Gathered in his mouth as he prepared to use his breath attack once more.

Shiro only flicked her finger at the boss.

*BOOM!!!!!

A pillar of ice shot up and slammed into the lower jaw of the boss, slamming his mouth shut and cancelled out the breath attack.

This continued for a few moments as they never intended to go full power at this stage. They just wanted to buy time for the transformation to wear off.

"Perish under the blood moon! Blood Sacrifice!" The dragon shouted out as a red orb was formed above him.

Shiro only frowned before aiming her palm at the orb and clenched her fingers.

12 ice spears appeared and stabbed the orb in an attempt to freeze it.

*BOOM!!!

However, the orb only expanded itself and consumed the spears.

"Hahaha!! It's usel-!!!"

Shiro slammed the boss with a healthy dose of her killing intent to shut him up.

"Yeah I got it. It's useless blablabla." Shiro rolled her eyes before snapping her fingers. This time, magic circles appeared around the orb as chains with anchors attached to the end of them could be seen slamming into the orb.

*BANG!

The anchors had frozen a portion of the orb before shattering it, causing the orb to destabilise before destroying itself.

"I'LL ERASE YOU!"

Throughout this entire fight, Shiro had constantly blocked his attempts of killing the party. Not only that, everything she said would strike a nerve which only increased his desire to end the little Snow Girl.

His Blood Dragon form was supposed to be a form that tanked a lot of the damage rather than fighting at his full power. Most of his blood arts were sealed, leaving him only with his brute strength and the very few skills that weren't sealed.

Normally, this would be more than enough to eliminate a party of level 30's that were even level 40 in strength.

But the anomaly known as Shiro flipped this logic over. Even though she was only level 39, she was able to stand almost toe to toe with him, not giving him a chance at demonstrating his power.

As she said, he was like a puppy in front of her. Only a huge scaly one that used blood magic and could shoot a beam of death out of his mouth.

However, what he didn't know, was that Shiro was putting up a tough front. Her body was hurting so much that she just wanted to lay down and rest her body.

Her face was much paler than usual as her clothes were drenched with sweat. Thankfully, due to the fact that the majority of the room was encased in ice, her ice field affinity was activated allowing her some respite to soothe her mana links.

While it didn't do much, it was still appreciated.

A few short moments passed as the party paused when they felt the surrounding mana shift. The dragon started to shrink, causing the party to look at each other for a short moment.

"BOMB HIM!" Jonas shouted out and swung his axe.

*DANG!

However, all their attacks only hit a translucent barrier powered by more than 500k worth of mana.

Looking up with bloodshot eyes, Shiro felt a sense of danger wash over her.

"Little Yin! Get Lyrica and Madison into the rift!" Shiro shouted out.

"NOT ON MY WATCH!" The boss shouted out since he was thoroughly pissed off by Shiro.

Clutching his hands, semi-translucent seals could be seen, wrapping around the entire room.

Spatial Seal.

"With this, you can't enter your rift again." The boss said whilst narrowing his eyes at her.

Twisting his body, the boss kicked Paul, who had tried to sneak attack him, in the chest and caused his ribs to cave inwards.

The party recoiled in shock as they never realised how much power was behind his attacks. And yet, Shiro was able to keep him at bay during his dragon form.

"Shit! SILVIA!" Trace shouted out in panic seeing his friend get his chest caved in by a single kick.

However, Silvia only paled since they could see Paul's HP empty out signifying his death.

"BASTARD!" Trace charged towards the boss.

The boss had expected him to charge towards him so he made a knife hand and cut towards Trace. Unexpectedly, Jonas had grabbed trace by the collar and threw him away from the boss.

*PUCHI!!!

With a single swipe of the boss's hand, Jonas's arm was cut off with ease, exposing his bones and muscles to the n.a.k.e.d eye.

Silvia paled and tried to heal Jonas.

*BANG!!

"Gah!"

Madison had jumped in front of Silvia and raised her shield to try block the strike. Even with the power of a defence demon knight, her body was sent backwards. But thankfully, it wasn't fatal due to her defence being much higher than Paul's, but her situation wasn't that much better.

*BOOM!

An ice trap had sprung up and tried to consume the boss but shattered upon impact.

Shiro only frowned since this meant that she needed something that can pierce his defences. Naturally, that only left her Nanomancer class.

Looking at the members around, Shiro only sighed as lightning and metal sparked.

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

Her body flickered out of view.

Shadow Buff x2.

The boss, who had just cut off Jonas's arm and kicked Madison away, turned towards the only standing target besides Shiro. Lyrica.

His body flashed towards her with his hand ready to stab her throat.

However, Shiro flickered back into view in front of the boss with a gun pointed at his head.

*BANG!!!!! PING!!!!!

With a single shot of the gun, it destroyed the barriers threshold and sent a bullet towards the boss's head.

The boss paled as he turned a portion of his body into blood mist but the danger was still there. Making a quick decision, the boss twisted his body and sacrificed his arm.

*PUCHI!

The force of the bullet tore a large chunk of the arm off, leaving it hanging by a few strands of muscle.

The boss took the chance to create some distance between them whilst trying to heal up his arm.

"Shiro!" Lyrica called out in shock. Her shock was only increased seeing the gun in her hands.

The gun was reminiscent of a revolver hybrid with a desert eagle. The barrel was abnormally long and was paired up with a revolver chamber. The colour of the gun was completely black with streaks of red running down the body of the gun. Lightning could still be seen flickering off the body of the gun while smoke drifted out of the tip of the gun.

The thing that confused her the most was that everyone knew bullets hardly worked on monsters. At this point, a human levelled around 30 to 40 could punch harder than a bullet. Yet, Shiro was able to break the shield and rip a chunk of the boss's arm off with a single bullet.

[Regroup and heal up. I got this.] Shiro threw the phone over at Lyrica before walking towards the boss.

Flicking her wrist, a second hand cannon could be seen appearing in her spare hand as Shiro walked towards the boss whilst dual wielding hand cannons.

[Harbinger's Song – Dual Hand Cannon – Purple]

+300 Attack

+200 Pierce

+100 Mana Eater

+100 Ignore Defence

+100 Range

The boss looked at her with a frown since those hand cannons sent chills down his spine. Just a single shot was able to take out his mana barrier and still have the force to rip a chunk out of his arm.

"You've been having quite the fun time aren't you?" Shiro asked as her eyes were cold. She didn't care about what happened to either Trace, Paul, or Jonas. But she wasn't about to tolerate him laying a claw on Lyrica, Madison and her future member, Silvia.

"So what." The boss spat out as his arm quickly healed up.

"Let me change that real quick." Shiro whispered into his ear as she had appeared behind him with both weapons aimed up at his shoulders.

*BANG BANG!!!

"GAH!!" Both of the boss's arms could be seen flying off their sockets.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom + 4th Phantom!

Twirling the hand cannons in her hands, Shiro smashed the bottom of the hand cannons into the boss's shoulders, causing him to kneel down heavily.

The use of her martial arts had completely destroyed the boss's bones and ruptured some of his internal organs.

Suddenly feeling the barrel come into contact with the back of his head, the boss attempted to lunge forwards and twist his body to look at Shiro.

However, the moment he turned around, Shiro's cold merciless eyes bore into his while her gun pointed at his forehead.

"Bye."

*BANG!!!!
