Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 762 Floating Fortress

As Nanobots spread out, the entire party widened their eyes at the amount of power that was being radiated from Shiro.

Curling her lips into a grin, Shiro pulled her hand back as nanobots started to form into large buildings around the mountain range.

*KRRRRRRR!!!!

Feeling the entire ground shake, the party quickly jumped into the sky so that they weren’t affected by the earthquake.

Watching as the city was being created out of thin air, they saw large scale weapons and pillars which seemed to be fuelling a barrier of sorts appear.

Clasping her hands together, Shiro envisioned several jet thrusters and support beams beneath the earth as she was now going to send this floating city into the sky.

*RUMBLE!!!! CRACK!!!!!

Watching the ground split apart, the party watched as the city slowly raised into the air.

With guns mounted everywhere, they were shocked at the scale of her power.

"Right then, shall we give this fortress a test?" Shiro asked over the mic as the party hadn’t seen its power just yet. Thankfully, they were in the middle of a mountain range away from civilisation so they didn’t need to worry too much about the casualties.

"Shall I go first?" Nan Tian asked.

"Sure, I’ll want to see the kind of damage you can do to the fortress. I’ll join you lot now just in case my fortress doesn’t hold up haha." Shiro laughed since she knows the power a tier 6 holds. Even if she was powerful for a level 300, it was nothing compared to tier 6.

Flickering next to the party, Shiro nodded her head at Nan Tian as he smiled and snapped his finger.

Suddenly, a tier 6 magic circle appeared above the fortress as several large scale support formations could be seen, enhancing the power of the main spell.

Waving his hand down, a pillar of light slammed down in an instant before anyone could react.

Immediately, Shiro could sense several layers of her protective barrier shatter apart as the sudden increase to power was above what the initial threshold accounted for. However, learning from her teacher, she had set up secondary measures in case this situation occurred.

Within the pillar of light, a swirl of energy could be seen as Nan Tian’s attack was being forced to the side.

Much like what happens when you open a tap on a domed object, the water starts to glide off the surface and spread to the areas around the dome.

Watching as his light attack was diverted, Nan Tian was surprised to see how effective her barrier was since his attack had the property of breaching through tough defences. However, with Shiro’s nanobots absorbing his attack and redistributing the power to the barrier, he could see how it would hold up for a long time.

But despite all of that, he could sense that the barrier was going to give up soon so he decided to end the attack early.

Looking at the cracked and smoking barrier of the flying fortress, Nan Tian smiled.

"It can definitely hold up to the attack of a tier 6 legend but not for a long time. Short attacks yes but for channelled attacks like that one I don’t think it’ll do as well." He said as Shiro agreed.

"There is still a stress limit for my nanobots. After a certain amount of energy, they also get worn out but the fact that I can sustain the barrier under your attack is pretty good. Do you have any instant one hit attacks? I want to fix the barrier then see how it does against an attack like that." Shiro asked.

"I do."

Nodding her head, Shiro flew over to her city and quickly made some repairs. Once she was ready, she returned back to the party.

"Go for it."

Snapping his fingers, Nan Tian summoned a small golden sword the size of a toothpick in front of him.

Pushing it into the air, he motioned his fingers up as Shiro could see the sword flying into the sky.

Using his spare hand, he created several tier 6 magic circles that layered above the city.

Motioning his hand down, the sword started to descent.

Passing through the first magic circle, the sword seemed to grow ever so slightly.

Passing through the second,the third and the fourth, the size and speed of the sword had now increased dramatically as it slammed against the barrier.

*PING PING PING PING PING!!!

Shattering through the first five layers with ease, the sword paused for a moment on the sixth before shattering through once more followed by the seventh, the eighth and the ninth.

Shiro’s barrier had 10 layers and each layer was stronger than the last. Even his previous attack only cleared around 6 to 7 layers over an extended period of time so one could tell how powerful this attack was.

Narrowing his eyes, Nan Tian was surprised to see the shards of the previous barriers converge towards one another as a new layer was formed beneath the tenth one.

*PING!!!

Shattering the final barrier, the sword collided with the eleventh barrier that was formed by the shattered pieces of the previous barriers.

Suddenly, a spot of red could be seen at the contact point.

*BANG!!

Shooting up into the sky, a thin beam of red could be seen as some of the handle on the sword was damaged but the sword itself was intact.

Breaking past the eleventh barrier, the sword crashing into the city, obliterating it with ease.

"Che, I thought that the eleventh barrier would work." Shiro sighed.

"What was that red beam of light?" Madison asked.

"That was all the energy that the barriers were able to absorb from the initial impacts. The goal of this was that if they could pierce past the first 9 barriers, the tenth barrier would be in place to delay it long enough for the eleventh barrier to fire the energy it had absorbed back at the attacker. Since it’s goal is attack, it’s overall defensive power is much weaker than the other layers." Shiro explained as the party nodded their heads.

"I see... What about the fire power of the city? We know that the defensive power is able to protect against a tier 6 for a short amount of time. What about the attack power?" Nan Tian asked as that eleventh barrier was pretty interesting.

"Well the attacks can either be focused or dispersed. Most of the time we’ll probably be using dispersed." Shiro replied with a shrug.

"Oh? Do you think it’ll be able to damage me even though I’m tier 6?" Nan Tian asked curiously.

"What are you a masochist? You’re not a tank so I doubt you have any skills that can help you mitigate the damage." Shiro rolled her eyes.

"No but I do have some life saving charms. I want to see what kind of damage it can cause so we have a number in mind if we do fight. Plus, if it gets out of hand I’m able to escape quickly." Nan Tian smiled.

"Right, element of light. Your attack is just about as ridiculous as your speed and ways of escape. In that case then just stand over there and make sure you don’t underestimate the attack ok?" Shiro furrowed her brows.

Nodding his head, Nan Tian flew into the distance and created a few defensive spells.

Seeing that he was ready, Shiro could only shake her head and activate the attack systems.

However, to his surprise, it wasn’t the small guns around the side that fired at him. No, nanobots converged towards the centre of the city as a new large scale rail cannon was formed in an instant.

Hundreds of tier 6 magic circles layered along the barrel as Nan Tian suddenly felt a chill down his spine. But before he could say anything, the gun fired.

*BANG!!!!

Watching the city shatter from the force, Nan Tian quickly summoned a sword and slashed toward the attack.

Slicing apart the attack, he flinched slightly as the initial force that was transferred to him managed to shatter the bone in his arm. Even though he was able to block it, his arm still took substantial damage.

*BOOM!!!!

Even though he was safe, the distant mountains couldn’t be said to be the same as they were evaporated in an instant.

Feeling the impact hit them twice, first from the initial fire and the second from the explosion, the party couldn’t help but feel their body turning a little numb.

"Hmm... It isn’t too bad I guess but it’s not good enough. I’ll need to see if I can merge some skills with that shot to empower it a bit more." Shiro muttered while waving her hand.

Fixing the mountains in the distance with one of her attunements, Shiro saw Nan Tian Return with a heavily bruised arm that was healed in an instant.

"Yeah I guessed the firepower was a little low to deal proper damage." Shiro sighed.

"Yes but that’s enough to insta kill anyone below tier 6. Was that attack just based off of your base stats of the nanobots without any skills?" He asked curiously.

"Yup. My own attack is definitely higher if I include my skills," Shiro nodded her head.

Talking to the party for a bit more, they decided to clear a few nearby dungeons before heading back. Their next goal was to reach tier 5 while Shiro wanted to find the spirit capital.
