Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Agreeing with Nan Tian, Isilia could see his reasoning behind it.

"However, at the first sign of danger, we're going to leave immediately ok? I'm going to ask Shiro for two teleport orbs so that we can teleport to the peak of the mountain and notify her of the first sign of danger." Isilia said since any monster that have lived in such a mana rich zone would be very strong.

"Mn, I'll wait for you here while you go ask Shiro." Nan Tian said as he nodded his head.

Watching Isilia make her way back to Shiro, he glanced back at the cave and narrowed his eyes.

While his senses couldn't probe far into the cave, he could definitely tell that the mana density was becoming thicker as mana had even started to liquify within the cave.

Walking up to the walls, he could feel their dampness as a thin layer of liquid mana glistened on their surface.

Collecting some in a vial, he wanted to bring some back to Shiro so that she could give them a look to see if they have any special properties.

Collecting around 3 vials for testing, he waited patiently at the entrance to the cave.

Not too long after, Isilia returned.

"Shiro told us to stay safe since our main priority is to make the anchor and the flying fortress. Exploring is secondary so if we run into any danger, which she doubts, come back immediately." Isilia said as Nan Tian nodded his head and stood up.

"Mn, I've collected some samples so we can have a look at them later. But it seems like this cave is where the density of the mana starts to increase. Even at the entrance it's liquifying." Nan Tian said as Isilia furrowed her brows.

"Let's enter then."

###

While Isilia and Nan Tian were exploring the cave, Shiro had small droplets of sweat rolling down her face as she was trying her best to do the anchor properly. However, since the only experience she had with it was seeing some data, it was hard for her to progress quickly.

Everything was moving at a snail's pace as she focused her mind to the task.

As she was doing this, she was also going through the data in her mind and found a few spots that she could perhaps improve with different materials. One such is using divine energy within this since divine energy harmonises with mana quite nicely and even enhances its properties when used together.

Therefore, the chances of the anchor being upgraded was high.

The only problem was that this was her only crystal so doing it did pose some risk.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro wanted to test out her own method but at the same time doing so could ruin things.

Gritting her teeth, she contemplated over this decision while making the anchor. It was in her nature to always try new things but each time she did so, a new risk would appear. When she combined her berserk skills, she was able to survive the gorgon and even find the first trace of error.

But the backlash of this had almost killed her had her friends not tried their best to stabilise her condition.

Biting her lip, Shiro had a humorous idea.

"F*ck it let the coin decide." Shiro smirked as she pulled out a Gold Coin.

Placing it on her finger, she flicked it as hard as she could so that it spun a lot but didn't fly too high.

Closing her eyes, she waited for a sound of the coin dropping.

'Heads to the test and tails for sticking with the current method.' Shiro thought to herself as she opened her eyes.

*Ping~

The first bounce, then the second and eventually, the coin landed on one side.

Seeing the side, Shiro's smile curved up into a grin as she saw that it was heads.

Rubbing her hands together in excitement, she glanced towards the anchor like a kid with a new toy.

Of course, her experiments wasn't going to change the anchor much since that was actually just stupid but rather, it aimed to improve some of the materials used within the anchor. The main one being adding Divine Energy.

Taking a deep breath, Shiro clasped her hands together as a tier 6 magic circle started to expand out from her.

However, a tier 6 magic circle wasn't enough since it was still within the realm of 'humans'.

Closing her eyes, golden runes lit up around her as a pillar of light shot up into the sky.

The mana clouds swirled up as it sought out the pillar of divine radiance.

Sitting in the middle, a silver radiance wrapped around Shiro as her body almost seemed ephemeral.

Waving her hand, and two tier 7 magic circles expanded outwards as a divine energy burst forth. Narrowing her eyes, Shiro clasped her hands together once more.

Creating a pure white orb between her hands, Shiro pushed it towards the floating anchor that was in the process of being made and shattered it to countless shards.

With just 10 minutes of this form, she had to imbue as much divine energy as she could so that the only things she needed to do once her form ran out was to control the energy.

Activating her skill Analysis, Shiro glanced at the anchor and started to thread divine energy through its body where mana would be used to enhance its effectiveness. As divine energy was wrapping around the anchor, the surrounding mana clouds seemed to condense and swarmed towards the anchor like a hungry beast.

Normally, Shiro would be on guard but entering Demi God form allowed her to see that the mana was trying to assist the divine energy in what it was doing. In other words, the surrounding mana was now helping her with making the anchor which is perfect.

Smiling softly, Shiro continued to add divine energy into the anchor as she could see it reaching completion.

Hours passed as Shiro sat in the same spot.

The anchor was beginning to look like a proper anchor as there were faint pulses of golden energy which made Shiro feel invigorated.

Her Demi God form had long ran out as she was currently controlling the divine energy that was still within the anchor.

Nan Tian and Isilia hadn't returned yet but Shiro knew that they weren't in any danger since the nanobots on Isilia's body hadn't reacted yet.

As she was reaching the 24th hour, she sensed a chance within the anchor.

*BOOM!!!!

Golden runes appeared in the sky as an unidentifiable magic circle started to descend from the sky and wrap around the anchor.

Despite seeing the magic circle in front of her, everything became a blur the moment she would focus on it almost as if it was censored. She couldn't tell what tier or what runes the magic circles used as she could only smile bitterly since it would have been quite helpful.

However, she didn't mind much as this was the final step in making the magic circle. All she had to do was now wait since the last pieces were now being formed.

Compared to the 24 hour crafting process she had to go through, this wait was nothing as it was soon complete.

Seeing the notification on her system interface, Shiro grinned as her efforts had paid off.

[You have constructed a Main Anchor manually. You are now recognised as a participant.]

[You have constructed a Divine Anchor manually. As the first to make a Divine Anchor before the new age, your anchor gains enhance benefits compared to normal Divine Anchors]

[Divine Anchor]

While the queen is within range, they get a 40% boost to their power while the enemy queen that is within your domain suffers a 40% decrease to their stats, spell effectiveness and – 40% system assistance.

Your followers will gain a 50% boost to Exp gain as well as a 30% boost to stats.

Placing a branch anchor doesn't cost as much and you are not weakened severely, only moderately.

Your anchor will passively generate divine energy which is funnelled to you.

Reading the list, Shiro couldn't help but raise her eyebrows since there were more benefits than this but these were just the key ones. There were benefits such as amazing harvest or natural disaster prevention.

The main key was that her domain was actually double the effectiveness of usual domains since the queen's domain would weaken the enemy by 20% while her domain actually weakened them by 40%. Anyone who tried to fight her in her own domain was essentially asking to be killed.

However, setting the benefits aside, she had changed the future and obtained her own anchor.
