Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

While making her way back to the teleport shrine, Shiro was looking for some information online. She was looking for any records of people finding new ways of levelling up so that she could use it as a reference for herself.

[Don't you have the map of the world? Can't you see the dungeons?] Nimue asked since there was bound to be a level 500 dungeon somewhere in the world.

'I do but…' Shiro's voice faded as Nimue noticed a rare trace of shame and embarrassment. Not the kind where she teases about love but the kind where she messed up big time.

[But what?] Nimue asked, curious as to why she was acting like this.

'I forgot to ask the system to mark down all of the dungeons! All I asked for it to markdown was settlements, roads, communities of living entities and teleport shrines! I forgot about dungeons!' Shiro cried out as she wanted to punch her past self.

You have perfect memory and a wide database! How the hell did you forget about the main source of EXP!

[Pft, to think even you could mess up like this.] Nimue laughed.

'It slipped my mind ok?!?!?!' Shiro retorted while scratching her hair in annoyance. Furrowing her brows, she wondered what she could do to search for the dungeons when she thought of an idea.

'Wait… Isilia researches dungeons. If there is a way to track dungeons down like the mini map, does that mean I can search for dungeons with a scanner?' Shiro muttered as she immediately opened up a portal back to Asharia.

Teleporting to the main square, she sent out her senses and found Isilia training with Lyrica in one of the training facilities that she had requested specifically designed for the Sword Saintess. It was something that she used back in Aria so Shiro was familiar with the construction and layout.

Teleporting to the entrance, she knocked a few times since she didn't want to just barge in when it could be a big turning point.

"Coming~"

Opening the door, Isilia smiled when she saw Shiro.

"Ah come on in, we're just taking a break now." Isilia smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

"So what brings you here today?" She asked while getting some juice from the fridge and setting it down on a table.

"With only a little bit of time left, I was thinking about doing some dungeons to help me reach level 500 so that I can hopefully be tier 6 when the new age begins." Shiro said as Isilia nodded her head.

"I see… and I'm guessing with your level and the exp you require, finding high level dungeons is pretty hard and that you want something to track them down with?" Isilia asked as Shiro grinned.

"Bingo." She replied while pointing at her with two finger guns.

"Unfortunately, tracking the level of the dungeon is harder at higher levels compared to low level ones so a dungeon that you believe is level 500 could actually just be 350." Isilia shrugged.

"Uff. How did you reach level 500 and then tier 6?" Shiro asked since Isilia was the only one besides Nan Tian that was tier 6 in their group.

"I just kept killing. You know I've been in this place for a lot longer than you have no?" Isilia replied as Shiro groaned.

"I know but I wanna level up faster." Shiro complained while resting her chin on the table.

"Oh please you're levelling up quite fast already. Who the hell reaches your standard in just a year? Plus, you're also a demi god now. Do you know how long it takes for me to even get a single level back then since everything was so low levelled??" Isilia asked with a twitching smile.

"I know I know but with the new age being so close it would be reassuring to start it as a tier 6. I've been able to kill tier 6's partially due to luck. The first time was a neighbouring queen that I was able to enter a one on one duel with so her tier 6 guards couldn't interfere. In one on ones, I won't be defeated by a tier 6 unless they're much higher level than me but for queens, it's a guarantee that they're surrounded by guards. If Nan Tian wasn't with me when I attacked the neighbouring queen, dealing with two tier 6's with one being able to guarantee strikes all the time would be impossible. Sure I'll kill the queen but then they'll kill me." Shiro replied.

Revival and healing was powerful but when there were two people that could just lock down her position and prevent her from running, revival and healing would just turn to torture where she slowly delayed her own death.

"Hmm… I suppose I did find a level 500 dungeon of sorts but it's kind of an anomaly." Isilia said after a short pause.

"You did?!" Shiro sat up in surprise.

"Mn, when I say anomaly, I mean it in the sense that the dungeon isn't the usual kind. I entered it myself but I didn't get much out of it since I couldn't damage the enemies at all. Like 0 damage." Isilia furrowed her brows.

"Wait, you dealt no damage, as a tier 6?" Shiro asked with surprise.

"I challenged it when I was tier 5 but even after I got tier 6, I still couldn't damage them no matter how hard I tried. There was always something that just stopped my attacks. Oh also, there are requirements for entering this dungeon."

"Requirements?"

"Mn, you have to go in solo." Isilia narrowed her eyes as Shiro paused for a moment to digest the information.

Dungeons don't usually have a requirement like this but if it's telling her to enter solo, it means it can be completed on her own.

"Can you tell me anything else about the dungeon then?" Shiro asked as Isilia sighed.

"That's the other problem. I can't remember. The only knowledge I retained about the dungeon was the fact that I entered and the monster's there could barely be harmed. After that is blank and the only other thing I remember was being out of the dungeon before realising what had happened." Isilia shook her head.

"That's totally not suspicious at all." Shiro leaned back.

"This is the only level 500 dungeon that I know. The next highest level would be level 430 but that's more of a quest than dungeon. It takes way too long to complete and the payoff isn't that good." Isilia shook her head.

"Welp I guess I know what I'm doing for a while then. I'll probably give the level 500 dungeon an attempt or two to see what's up with it. If I can't find anything then I'll give up." Shiro shrugged as Isilia nodded her head.

"I honestly wish I could tell you more but my knowledge is limited."

"That's fine, you've helped me plenty by knowing about this dungeon. So where is it?" Shiro asked with a smile.

"The Elven Continent."

"Wait, what?" Shiro raised her eyebrow since most of the things in the elven continent were low levelled.

"The dungeon is in the elven continent." Isilia replied, confirming that Shiro wasn't just hearing things.

"But all the things there are all low levelled. How the hell is a level 500 dungeon there?" Shiro asked as she had a hard time believing that the dungeon could be there. When the world changed, most of the areas are grouped together by level so a place like New York wouldn't have a level 200 dungeon and vice versa. A high levelled city wouldn't have low levelled dungeons. For the elven continent to have a level 500 dungeon that could be said to be the hardest in the world was clearly an anomaly.

"I don't know. I came across it by accident too you know." Isilia shrugged since she wasn't responsible for where the dungeons were placed.

"Do you know the name of the dungeon?" Shiro asked.

"Nope." Isilia shook her head.

". . .F*ck it. Why not, since you were outside before you realised what had happened, it means the chance of death is probably on the low side for people like us. Can you help me mark it out on the mark? I'll go look for it now. Plus, I might as well check up on how Cyril's doing since the last time I saw her, she was made into the new ruler." Shiro smiled as Isilia paused for a moment.

"Maybe I should come with you. She is my husband's daughter, even if she was created by experiments." Isilia sighed as she couldn't help but feel pity for the girl.

"Mn, I'll make a teleport mark when we get there so that we can travel freely between the places. Plus, Nan Tian is also working on moving the elves to one of the platforms so it's a good chance to sort that out." Shiro smiled as the two talked for a bit longer before agreeing on making their way to Miriel tomorrow.
