Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

As the group rested at the camp, the people outside had started to give up on their survival.

"It's been too long. If she was holding against the fourth and fifth boss, she would be dead by now." Kier shook his head.

"But you've seen how powerful she is, I'm sure she's just finding a way out now." Isaac frowned.

"If she was as powerful as we believed her to be, why hasn't she come out yet? If she survives against the bosses, she should in theory, reached the exit by now. There's nothing she can gain from staying inside the dungeon."

"This…" Isaac stayed silent as he didn't know how to respond. Kier was right. Even if he wanted to believe in Shiro, he had to admit that her chances of survival were quite slim considering the fact that she hasn't come out yet.

No one would willingly stay in a raid with two bosses roaming around. Especially since the fourth one could ambush her at any moment like how it had ambushed them.

Little did he know, the fourth boss had already died against Shiro.

"Give up on her. Even if she is alive, the best thing we can do is clear this raid so that everyone is forcefully ejected from inside the raid." Kier narrowed his eyes.

"Fine. But we're bringing as many pills and potions as we can. The argent family will help you so that we can decrease the amount of time we spend on each boss." Isaac suggested.

"That is fine. We still have a set of return stones since you guys haven't gone in for a second time yet. We're allowed some leeway with how reckless we are." Kier nodded.

People without the fear of death could perform at much better standards than normal. Since they have an item that could guarantee their survival, as it had demonstrated once already, they can fight without worry.

Plus, if they were to bring pills and potions that boosted their overall attack power, along with Isaac who is desperate in clearing this raid, the overall performance of the party will at least double.

'It's a shame that she's dead but at least we got some information. I can't believe that there is a fifth boss…' Kier thought with a shake of his head.

Straightening out his jacket, he had his escorts call for the other raid members. They were going to clear this raid as quickly as they could.

"So then. Just to make sure that my information is correct, the boss has 2 active skill, 1 passive skill and 1 party wipe skill correct?" Shiro asked.

"That's all I can see yes. I don't know if there are more skills which he is hiding." Kamnar nodded his head.

"Alright. Root skills that take time to activate are easy to deal since we're able to cancel its activation. But once it activates, it'll become troublesome. His passive is also quite easy since all three of us in the party can fly. While I can't fly as well as you two, it's enough for now." Shiro said while glancing over at her two daughters. One was a phoenix and the other was an angel.

"When he uses his party wipe skill, I want you to spark his explosive clouds for him. In this time, I'll grab Lisa and retreat into the rift. This is how we're going to deal with his party wipe skill. As a boss that passively emits explosive clouds, he is annoying for melee fighters. But it wouldn't matter if all of us is fighting against him while we're in the air." Shiro grinned.

Hearing this, Kamnar couldn't help but wonder what the hellhound did in his life to deserve Shiro as an opponent.

"But I can barely fight from afar. While I do have my light swords, they don't do too much damage." Lisandra asked.

"Don't worry about that. I'll be making you a weapon to fight against the boss. I can also use this time to test out my new skill." Shiro replied with a smile.

Her theory was that if Lisandra was to use her rail snipers that have been fused with the light element, a synergistic effect should occur between the two of them, boosting up the attack damage by a few percent.

As for Yin, well she didn't need to worry about Yin since she could go crazy. Without anyone on the field, she is free to use all of her spells without restraint.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Kamnar asked as he tried to smile. However, as an insectoid, he didn't exactly have the facial muscles to make a decent smile.

"Er… just wait by the side." Shiro shrugged. He didn't need him to be taking their share of the contributions and loot now did she?

"Hais… I figured as much." Kamnar sighed.

"Anyways, we'll sleep for now since it's getting quite late."

Setting up camp, they went to sleep. Naturally, Shiro had Kamnar sleep outside while bounded by nanotech wires.

The next day, they made their way to the giant hole the Chimera had made when it ambushed them.

Looking down into the hole, they could see the fifth boss sitting there as usual.

"Seems like he doesn't move around much. Do you think he's guarding something?" Shiro narrowed her eyes.

"Perhaps. I've tried to move him, but he never budged." Kamnar shook his head.

"Well, it's not our problem. You two, come here, I'll be making you some armour now." Shiro said as she called the duo over.

Placing her palm on their shoulders, nanobots started to spread out and harden into a set of armour.

"You should bring out your wings too so that it won't hinder your range of motion." She suggested.

Adjusting the armour, she made several boosters and flight stabilisers so that they could readjust themselves quicker should they be under fire.

"This should do it. I've already uploaded a few movement and passive buff skills to the armours so you can examine them yourselves to see how they are. As for the weapons, just tap the magnetic disks around your waist and they'll create the weapons for you. Naturally, the weapons will have the skills uploaded to them." Shiro explained.

"You can add skills yourself?" Kamnar asked as he had never heard anything about this.

"Of course. As long as I get my hands on a piece of equipment, I can recycle it down to enhance the quality of my nanobots. Not only that, if they have any skills, I'll be able to store it in my database and 'print' it out onto any armour I make." Shiro said, pointing at her head.

"Of course, I can't do anything about set armour. For some reason, I'm not able to receive anything from set armour. It might be because they're not technically a 'proper' piece of armour but rather a 'whole' that's broken into several pieces? Even if a skill is part of that piece rather than the 'set effect', I can't receive the skill. Otherwise, I would have recycled this piece with the root skill ya know? It's a shame but I can't really complain. I'm already getting quite a few skills from individual pieces already." Shiro shrugged her shoulders.

However, Kamnar was speechless.

"Why do you make it sound so simple? This is simply ridiculous ok!? Hell, if all of Aria knew that your class allowed them to recycle low level percentage skills onto anything you make, they'll literally revolt regardless of the dangers."

"Aren't they doing that already though?" Shiro raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, but it's rather 'tame' if you can call it that. The only thing we know about your class right now is that it can make anything you think of and is highly resistant. As long as one has the blueprints to a weapon, they can make it as long as they have the mana. They know nothing about you recycling and printing skills." Kamnar explained.

"Hmm… but isn't that the main benefit of the Nanomancer class? While we inherently have two elements and can make anything we want as long as we have the blueprint, it's just a more powerful metal mage if you boil it down. It's the recycling aspect that makes it incredible."

"Well you're right about that. I guess the b*stard must have locked down all information regarding this then. It's either that or he didn't know about it either." He replied with a shrug.

"It sounds something that he'll do. But ignoring the light b*stard for now, we got a boss to kill." Shiro grinned.
