Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 784 Zernic

Walking through the corridors slowly, Shiro made sure to freeze them upon contact if possible while Nan Tian would melt them and Stanley would shatter them to pieces.

While the attacking power of the insect golems is powerful, their defences around the chassis was rather weak but their blades were strong. It was thin but highly durable. Collecting the blades, Shiro received the item named.

[Compressed Zernic Blade.]

A tiny blade made from a rare metal known as Zernic. It’s highly durable and can slice apart magic. However, there is a limit to how much magic it can withstand.

Searching up some information about Zernic in her memories along with the internet, Shiro was surprised that she hadn’t seen anything that was mentioned about this metal.

Collecting as many of them as she could, she decided to save it for now and reuse it later. After all, it was able to clash against her blade without much trouble along with cutting through her flesh with ease.

If she made this into a special weapon, it could come in handy.

Even when Nan Tian melted the golems, these blades still survived so one could see how durable they were. By the end of the corridor, Shiro was able to collect several hundred of them. Thanks to their small size, Shiro could store them all away in a container and place it in her inventory.

Glancing around with her true sight, Shiro could see that this was the only chamber that they can go to right now. With just a straight path, it was hard to miss any other paths.

In front of them was a double door that seemed like it could be opened quite easily.

Nodding to Nan Tian and Stanley, Shiro pushed the door open slowly.

Just as a small opening could be seen, a blade shot forward as Shiro had to quickly lean back or else she would have been cut.

Watching the blade retract, the three glanced into the room and saw a golem with two long swords standing menacingly in the room. Seeing three doors on different walls, they understood that they had to defeat this golem if they wanted to continue.

Nodding to each other, they dashed into the room as Shiro activated her Divine Raiment.

Slamming her hands against the ground, Shiro was about to summon chains when the floor opened up and blades shot towards her.

Widening her eyes, she quickly dispersed her body into shadows so that she wasn’t harmed.

Reappearing not too far away, she noticed the floor close up once more.

"Don’t stand on the same tile for more than one second. It attacks you the moment you are. Seems like it’s designed to fight against mages." Nan Tian said while dodging a few blades.

Hearing this, Stanley frowned and started to reinforce his body with magic rather than casting spells.

Twisting its body, the golem swung the blade towards Stanley.

Even with his body reinforcements, he did not expect the blade to arrive so fast. With no other choice than to try his best to dodge, Stanley activated a shield and jumped back.

*BANG!!!

Launching his body to the other side of the room, Stanley was embedded into the wall for a moment as blades suddenly stabbed towards him since he was there for more than a second.

Blocking the blades with his shield, Stanley dashed to the side with blood dripping from his lips.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro waved her hand as Life Fire erupted out around Stanley and started to heal him.

While this was happening, Nan Tian appeared before the golem and slammed two tier 6 magic circles against the chest.

*BANG!!!

Forcing the golem back by two steps, Nan Tian frowned.

"His armour has magical dampening effects. I think it’s best to go for kinetic force right now since my tier 6 spells are rather weak against it." He called out as Shiro nodded her head.

Flickering in front of the golem, she raised her sword and twisted her body.

Activating Silvanis’ 4th ability, Shiro coated her weapon with nanotech as the 4th ability allows her to ignore all resistance towards her element. Even if the golem was good at absorbing magic, this counts as a resistance so she can ignore it.

With a trail of silver blue light behind her sword, Shiro cut deeply into the golem as nanobots flooded its systems.

However, just as she was about to jump back, she realised that thin threads wrapped around her body and she wasn’t allowed to move. Draining her mana with each passing second, she couldn’t muster enough mana to shift her body to shadows.

Swinging its blades towards her, Shiro was prepared to activate grace when Nan Tian flickered in front of her.

*BANG!!!!

Blocking the strikes with his hands, blood dripped down his arms as a torrent of flames erupted out of him, melting the threads.

"You ok?" He asked while helping her retreat.

"Mn, I didn’t expect him to restrain me with mana draining threads. We’ll need to be careful since you won’t be able to cast any spells if you’re caught." Shiro replied with a serious expression.

She wouldn’t mind activating her True Spirit Nature but since her nature deals with souls, it would be useless against this golem.

Even though her sword ignored the golem’s resistances, she could still feel her nanobots dying one by one as they lacked the mana to keep eating away at the materials.

However, since the golem absorbed mana, there was surely a place which housed it. It was only a matter of finding out where it is. Once she finds out, the growth of her nanobots will increase dramatically and consume the golem in an instant.

Activating Analysis, a red glow appeared in her eyes as everything turned translucent. Dashing around to avoid the spikes, Shiro scanned the golem’s body and found a pool of neon blue energy that swirled around for a moment before being funnelled down into the ground.

Narrowing her eyes, she had an idea.

"Teach! Nan Tian!" She called out.

"What is it?" Stanley replied while activating a few offensive spells that had very little effects on the golem’s armour.

"Do you trust me?" She asked as the two nodded without hesitation.

"Of course." Nan Tian said as Shiro smiled.

Dashing towards the Golem, she could see the wires appearing once more as it attempted to wrap around her.

Smirking slightly, she created a small bead of nanobots and connected a thin strand of nanotech wire to it.

Throwing it towards the golem, she watched as it attached against the surface.

Twisting her body, she flicked her blade and kicked the pommel.

*BANG!!!

Stabbing into the golem’s body, an entrance way was formed for the bead.

Just as she did this, the wires wrapped around her as it started to drain her of mana.

Grinning, she released more mana as a faint aura was slowly growing around her.

Watching her MP value decrease, Shiro could see the blades slashing toward her.

"Protect me but don’t destroy the wires!" Shiro called out as Nan Tian appeared before her once more and deflected the blades.

"Understood." Nan Tian replied as he reinforced his strength as much as he could.

While this was happening, her nanobots were eating their way towards where the energy was being stored.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro waited for a moment before opening her mouth.

"Destroy the wires!"

*BOOM!!!

Melting the wires in an instant, Nan Tian jumped back as Shiro morphed her body into shadows.

As the two retreated, the nanobots found the energy pool as Shiro relinquished her control over the bots for a split moment.

Since she had allowed the golem to freely absorb her pool of mana, one could imagine how much mana was stored in the golem right now.

As if someone pressed pause, the golem froze for a moment as the sound of gears completely halted.

*BANG!!!

Exploding into a mass of nanobots, the golem was consumed in an instant as the robots surged towards the trio in an attempt to consume everything around them.

Slamming her hand down, Shiro exerted her control over the nanobots while Nan Tian prevented the blades from harming her.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro forced her control over the mass of nanobots that was going out of control and finally stopped its expansion.

Snapping her fingers, she destroyed them all in an instant as the mana that was absorbed exploded out and was reabsorbed by the walls before she could reclaim it.

Clicking her tongue, Shiro glanced toward the three doors leading to different directions.
