Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

The way to the castle was quiet since everyone was feeling tense.

Shiro was being vigilant as she led the way forward. Since she hadn't seen any mini-bosses during her fight with the horde, she could guess that the mini-bosses were all in the castle.

When they were closer to the castle, Shiro frowned at the sight of two huge monsters guarding the gate to the castle.

Both monsters were huge humanoid type bosses as they were like a mirror reflection of each other. Both wore pieces of heavy armour and carried great swords.

[Twin Blood Guardians – LVL 50 BOSS]

Twin 1

HP: 300,000/300,000

MP: 500,000/500,000

Twin 2

HP: 300,000/300,000

MP: 500,000/500,000

"Seems like this is the first boss." Jonas said with a serious face.

Just the first boss needed them to tank two level 50's.

[Alright, this is the plan. Madison and Jonas, you two tank twin 1. I'll tank the second twin with Yin. As for Silvia, focus on Madison and Jonas since I can handle myself. However, send the buffs towards me. Damage dealers aim for Twin 1 first and only after you killed Twin 1 will you come help me out. Understood?] Shiro asked.

The party nodded.

Shadow Buff x2.

Activating her Shadow Buff along with Yin's, the party was surprised to see the buff.

[This will increase your speed. Try to avoid the boss's attacks when you can. Now let's go.] Shiro typed out as she stomped down.

<strong>*KRR!!!</strong>

Huge ice pillars shot out from the ground as snow started to fall.

Since the ground was only partially frozen, it didn't cause too much trouble for the party.

<strong>*URAHH!!</strong>

With the boss's shout as a cue, Shiro dashed towards the second twin while the party ran towards the first.

[Buff Received]

[Buff Received]

[Buff Received]

Giving the notifications a slight glance, Shiro saw her status increase due to Silvia's support.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 2nd Phantom + Faded Snow Movement.

Her body flickered as she quickly dodged the downwards swing of the greatsword.

Flicking her wrist, a ramp was being constructed under her as she approached the boss's head. A magic circle expanded under her as the ramp morphed into a huge drill.

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

Kicking the back of the drill, Shiro flipped her body backwards.

<strong>*BANG!</strong>

The drill crashed into the chest of the boss, barely leaving a scratch on the skin. However, that wasn't what Shiro was aiming for. The sheer weight of the drill sent the boss stumbling back away from the area.

This allowed the party to have more room to work with along with the fact that there would be less chances for collateral damage.

"Damn…" Paul muttered seeing Shiro suppress the boss with ease.

"Focus!" Jonas shouted out as he dodged and was being attacked by the boss.

"Right!" Paul replied, snapping out of his shock and attacking the boss in front of him.

###

Shiro, who had pushed the boss back, made sure that she far enough from the group.

'This should do.' She thought as she clasped her hands together.

Opening them once more, a neon white orb could be seen in between her palms. She pinched the orb and stretched it out into a thin line.

While she did this, lights started to appear above the boss as Shiro was freezing the moisture in the air to form crystals that created an array of lights.

She grabbed the line as if she was grabbing a spear and threw it into the air. The moment the 'line' approached the lights, it started to expand and slammed into the body of the boss.

<strong>*BOOM!!!!</strong>

The 'line' was, in fact, a highly condensed blizzard. Combined with the coldness above the boss that even froze the moisture in the air, it sent down a column of cold mist that started to freeze the boss.

Suddenly, a blood-red glow encased the boss's body.

<strong>*BOOM!!!!</strong>

<strong>*URAHHH!!!!!</strong>

Roaring out with rage, the glow shattered the spell Shiro had cast with ease.

"Tch, voluntary berserk." Shiro muttered.

Normally, a boss would go berserk when they hit a certain amount of health. However, with voluntary berserk, they'd be able to increase their status at any given moment.

Grabbing the handle of his greatsword, the boss slammed the sword into the ground.

<strong>*CLANG!</strong>

Shiro widened her eyes as she instantly jumped into the rift.

Exiting not too far from where she had stood, Shiro saw a huge metal chain that would have crushed her.

Grabbing the chain, the boss pulled hard as the veins on his arms bulged with power.

<strong>*BANG!</strong>

The boss had pulled a huge metal ball with chains on the surface out from the ground which had left a huge cavity in the area.

Looking at the boss who wielded a greatsword in one hand and a spike ball connected to a chain on the other, Shiro grew worried about the party and the boss they were facing.

<strong>*BANG!</strong>

Stomping down hard, the boss swung the spike ball towards Shiro.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom + 2nd Phantom.

Shiro dodged the ball with ease while giving Yin a side glance.

Understanding what Shiro wanted, Yin flew upwards and activated Ice Chains.

<strong>*KRRR! BANG!</strong>

Before the chains could even wrap around the boss, he had swung his greatsword which shattered the chains with ease.

Ice Chains!

Before the boss could recover from his swing, Shiro activated her own Ice Chains and locked him down.

Her main goal right now was to delay the boss, not kill it. She needed to buy some time for the party to finish their boss then they could kill this boss together.

Meanwhile, Madison was struggling a little to tank the boss since his strength was much higher than her's.

"KU!!!" Madison gritted her teeth as she blocked one of the swings with her shield.

Even with Demon Manifestation summoning the power of a defence type demon knight into her body, she was barely able to handle the boss.

However, she was doing considerably better than Jonas. Each swing of the boss would send him flying backwards from the sheer amount of force and weight behind each swing.

A green glow enveloped her body as her HP was refilled once more by Silvia.

"Thanks!" Madison called out as she swung her sword.

Activating one of her skills, Madison managed to trigger two status effects on the boss. These being bleed and poison.

Unfortunately, the duration of these effects was small as the boss was higher level than her.

What would have lasted around 10 to 20 seconds only lasted 3 seconds with the boss.

While Madison and Jonas was tanking the boss, Lyrica was currently increasing her contribution at a steady pace since her damage per second was outrageous even against a boss higher level that her.

Countless slice marks could be seen all over the boss's body as Lyrica would nimbly traverse the boss's body whilst slicing with her sword that she picked from the pile of loot Shiro had shown to the party.

Heated Edge + Sword Dance of the Willow Tree.

Combining her two skills together, Lyrica twirled her blade nimbly and attacked without mercy. Her skills left a trail of scorched flesh along the boss's body.

However, the boss suddenly grinned and sent chills down the spine of the entire party.

<strong>*URAHH!!!!</strong>

Roaring out with as much force as it could muster, a red magic circle expanded in the sky.

Shiro, who was currently occupied with her boss, looked over and widened her eyes.

"Sh*t!" Shiro cursed out loud.

The skill the boss was trying to use right now was a party wipe skill.

Blood Tribulation.

The skill would cause blood to rain down from the sky. Each droplet that touched you will steal away a portion of your HP.

Making two neon white orbs, Shiro twisted her body and threw the two orbs towards the magic circle.

<strong>*BOOM!!!!</strong>

The orbs exploded out into giant ice pillars that covered the entire area.

The party was surprised at the sudden ice dome that surrounded them but paled when they saw the blood rain start corroding the ice.

Shiro frowned as she dodged a slash from her boss.

'I need something sturdy to lock down the boss and support the party. They need my help to take down the boss.' Shiro thought with a frown.

Looking at the boss, and idea appeared in her mind as she started to grin.

Jumping back to make some space between her and the boss, Shiro narrowed her eyes and aimed both palms towards the boss. Magic circles appeared in front of her palms while bigger versions of the magic circle appeared to the left and the right of the boss.

"Freeze!" Shiro commanded in order to increase the effectiveness of the spell. The word itself acted like a key to fully activate the spell.

The moment she had called out the key word, the mana surrounding the magic circle became berserk while the magic circles themselves radiated with a more threatening aura.

Sensing the danger, the boss swung his greatsword at the magic circle in an attempt to break it before it could even activate.

However, the moment the greatsword came into contact with the magic circles, a cold burst of wind exploded out of the magic circles.

<strong>*KRRR!!!!</strong>

Wherever the wind touched, it would freeze over almost instantly. Not even a moment later, the boss was entirely frozen.

The ice was around a meter thick just to make sure the boss would have a harder time escaping.

But she wasn't done yet.

Shifting her hands around, Shiro controlled the magic circles to move above and below the boss.

Gritting her teeth, Shiro tried to clasp her hands together but felt an invisible force trying to stop this.

Realising that it was the boss trying to resist, Shiro exerted more force into her arms. Unfortunately, when her hands were around 10cm's apart from each other, Shiro was no longer able to close the distance further.

This was due to the fact that her mana links were starting to hurt, reminding her that she shouldn't push it too far.

Releasing her hold on the spell, she saw the boss frozen solid. But due to the fact that she wasn't able to complete the spell, the boss wasn't dead yet.

Shaking her head, Shiro glanced at her MP and widened her eyes in shock.

[MP: 74,040/215,250]

The spell she had used just now took roughly more than 50k to activate.

Pulling out an MP potion, Shiro sighed and took a quick drink.

Turning away from the boss, Shiro dashed towards the party as they needed to kill one boss first. With her boss frozen, she estimated that it should give them roughly 5 or so minutes.

"Mn?" Her attention was shifted when she saw her system give her a notification.

[Self-Made skill recognised. Awarding 100 free stat points. Title awarded.]

[Please name your skill]

Raising an eyebrow, Shiro didn't realise that she had just created a skill.

When she had cast her spell, she had imagined the particles stopping to increase her freezing power. That was what the second part of the spell aimed to do. By pushing her hands closer to each other, the less the particles would move. When she completely closes her hands together, it would erase the enemies HP completely.

'Hmm… I should give it a good name.' Shiro thought while dashing towards the party.

<strong>*BOOM!!!!</strong>

Her attention was shifted away when she heard her previous ice shield crumble away.

"Tsk, system, you can make one for me. I got more important things to do." Shiro said as she crouched down.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 2nd Phantom + Faded Snow Movement.

<strong>*BANG!</strong>

The ground cracked slightly from how much power Shiro had put into her dash.

[Skill Name Generated.]

[Frozen Hell – Frozen Slumber]

[Creator of the Frozen Hell Series (Incomplete)]

With a combination of magic manipulation and clear visualisation of the outcome, you have created the start of the Frozen Hell Series of Magic Spells. The more spells you create, the more effective this title becomes.

Current Benefits: 5% Mana Leech when using Frozen Hell Series of spells.

Giving the notification a slight glance, Shiro was rather surprised that the title gave her the Mana Leech benefit. Mana Leech allowed her to steal a portion of mana from her enemies.

'I should probably make more spells into this Frozen Hell series or whatever. It's kinda like the Yin Style Phantom Arts in one way I suppose.' Shiro mused to herself as she saw the party take shelter under one of Madison's skills that blocked the blood rain.

As for Shiro, she had her Mana Barrier skill so the blood rain didn't affect her.

The party was surprised when they saw Shiro approach however, she only gave them a slight nod to show that she was going to help.

Without even waiting for their response, Shiro slid on her feet and created a giant ice pillar.

<strong>*BANG!</strong>

The pillar crashed against the boss and sent him falling backwards.

Flicking her wrist upwards, four ice pillars stabbed towards the sky and shattered the magic circle.

Turning to the party, Shiro typed out some instructions quickly.

[Kill this boss. Then kill mine.]

The instructions were simple as the party nodded.

Seeing that they knew what to do, Shiro refocused on the boss and dashed towards him with Lyrica following behind her.
