Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Curving her lips into a grin, Shiro pulled back the mounted Orbital Rail Cannon and aimed it towards the flying Redirm.

Pulling the trigger, a blinding light filled her vision as the Enhanced Calamity Dragon Arrow was sent flying towards Redirm.

"!!!" Suddenly feeling danger, Redirm waved his hand and put up the best shield he could in the shortest time possible.

*PING!!!

To his shock, it was shattered like nothing.

*BOOM!!!!!!!

The force of the explosion sent the surrounding trees crashing down as Shiro tried to shield her body but was helpless.

Flipping her body in the air, she tried to correct herself as much as possible so that she could have a smooth landing.

Unfortunately, the sheer amount of snapped trees made it hard for her since they would slam into her body.

"Tch!" Clicking her tongue, she tried to send out a pulse of mana but was stopped when one of the flying branches stabbed into her stomach and thigh.

"Sss!" Taking a sharp breath in, she turned her body into a giant ice cube.

*CRACK BANG KRRR!!!

Colliding against the ground, she thawed the ice when everything had calmed down.

*PUCHI!

Pulling out the twigs forcefully while ignoring the pain, she healed herself with Life Fire.

"Tch, my MP had been drained quite a bit." She frowned.

"URAHHH!!!!"

Freezing up at the sudden shout, Shiro looked up into the air and saw a heavily wounded Redirm who was glaring at her with bloodshot eyes.

He was currently missing his right arm and shoulder while the rest of his body was badly scorched.

"I'll kill you!" He cried out in anger.

Flickering from his spot, he reappeared besides Shiro and kicked her at the side of her body.

*CRACK!

"PFFF!!!" Coughing out a mouthful of blood, Shiro slammed into an invisible wall that Redirm had set up.

'Sh*t!' She cursed out in her mind and quickly pulled out Ataraxia. Activating two of her Heavenly Runes, she increased the speed of her MP and HP regeneration.

Unfortunately for her, Redirm wasn't about to let this pass.

Grabbing her sword, he kneed it on the blade and snapped it in half.

"Die!"

*BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Each of his punches were like cannons while Shiro tried her best at defending.

However, even after she activated her Celestial Armament, he ripped it apart with his bare hands like it was nothing. She had even tried to use her Rift Walker skill but a wall had been put up between her and the rift, stopping her from accessing it.

*BANG!

Her body crashed through the invisible wall and rolled across the ground.

[MY QUEEN!!] Nimue shouted out in shock.

'Don't shout like that… My ear's f*cking hurt.' Shiro thought while trying to recover.

Glancing at her HP, she realised that things weren't looking too good for her.

"You know what? This is a good time to test out 5th Phantom along with Berserker Path." Shiro muttered as she closed her eyes.

While she did this, Redirm's fist was on its way to punch her in the stomach.

*BOOM!!!!

A sudden explosion of force erupted out as black and red aura flared around her. However, she wasn't done.

Activating Soul Sword, she enhanced the god slaying sword.

Her hair shifted from ice white to pure black while her eyes changed to a blood red colour.

"Fuu…" Breathing out a cloud of cold mist, her killing intent was released relentlessly and froze a large portion of the forest, turning into an icy tundra.

*BANG!!!!!

The ground suddenly caved in as Redirm blocked Shiro's sword slash with an invisible wall.

Gnashing her teeth, Shiro slammed her hands into the invisible wall and coated it in a layer of nanobots which surged towards him through the gaps.

"Damn it! Crazy b*tch!" Redirm cried out in shock at the sight of Shiro. Her pure killing intent sent shivers down his spine as he quickly retreated.

However, her figure flickered into mist as he realised that it was another illusion.

A pair of hands suddenly grabbed his legs and pulled him into the ground. Struggling as much as he could, he activated his elemental armour and created a cavity in the ground.

Twisting his body, he attempted to kick Shiro in the chest but quickly retracted his leg when he saw her sword. The closer he got to the sword, the more fearful he became.

His instincts told him that whatever he did, he should never touch that sword.

Seeing Redirm retreat, Shiro grinned before tilting her head in a creepy manner.

*BOOM!!!

Dashing towards him while keeping low on the ground, she activated Fae illusions and created 9 copies of her that were doing a different set of movements.

On top of this, she had activated Refraction and Sword Domain at the same time. Running several calculations in her mind, the illusions were able to sync up to her movements, creating a lethal dance of slashes where one didn't know which one was real or which one was fake.

A single touch was all it needed to send someone into shock due to the nature of her soul sword.

Gritting his teeth, Redirm activated his own berserk skill and did his best to dodge.

"Troublesome!" He shouted out. Pushing his hand towards the ground, a tier 4 magic circle wrapped around his wrist and sent out a tornado which rained destruction upon the forest.

Landing on one of the distant tree branches, he held his bleeding shoulder in pain and brought up a healing pill.

But before he could eat that pill, he felt danger assault his senses once more. Quickly jumping up into the air, he was barely able to dodge Shiro's attack.

Looking up at the fleeing Redirm, Shiro only smiled before standing up straight.

'Damn what is her problem! Why is she giving me such a bad feeling?!' Redirm thought to himself with worry.

As much as he wanted to ignore this feeling, he knew that he couldn't since it had saved him many times in the past.

This should be no exception.

Creating an invisible platform to stand on, he took a deep breath and looked towards Shiro's location.

"!!!" Widening his eyes, he was shocked to see that she had disappeared. Within that short moment where he took his eyes off her, she had actually disappeared from his sight.

Quickly slamming his hand down onto the platform, he encased himself in thick walls all around him.

*PING!

Looking behind him, he saw Shiro's sword shredding through his barrier like it was tofu.

"Damn!" Flicking his fingers, he sent several pillars smashing into Shiro only to see her bend her body in a way that many would class as physically impossible.

*PING PING PING!

Destroying all of the walls around her, Shiro stabbed her sword towards Redirm.

Gritting his teeth, he decided to run away for now. There was no way that he was going to continue a fight where a single hit could potentially end him.

"You're lucky this time!" He gritted his teeth and formed a claw with his hand. The gravity in the area suddenly increased while his body was sucked into a portal of sorts.

Kneeling heavily on the ground, Shiro looked up at where he was previously and saw that no one was there anymore.

Furrowing her brows, she spat on the ground in annoyance. As much as she wanted to chase after him, she didn't have a way to follow him. Not only that, but there was also a short time limit on her soul sword which would run out soon.

In the end, she could only sigh in disappointment.

Deactivating all of her skills, she collapsed on the ground in fatigue.

Both her HP and MP were about to be emptied out as she took a moment to rest and recover.

"Tch, how annoying…" She muttered. However, she knew that this could be classed as one of the better outcomes.

In a fight where she was against a being that was 35 levels ahead of her, she was able to wound him severely and scare him off.

But now that she somewhat understood what the man could do, next time, she'll be able to finish him for good with the help of her berserk skills.

"Hmph, keep your ass safe till we meet again." She cursed.
