Chereads / Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? / Chapter 61 - Faction Recruitment P5

Chapter 61 - Faction Recruitment P5

"WHAT!" The executives of the Winter's Grace called out in shock. To have a freezing power of that magnitude wasn't easy.

Quickly pulling out a recording of the match, they re-winded the clips until they saw Shiro. Seeing her tiny body and account information, they were shocked at her age.

"13?! She has this power at her disposal at 13?! Not even the current Ice Matriarch had that power at 13!!"

"Recruit her! Recruit her with everything we have!"

"I second that!"

###

"Hahahaha!" Nan Tian laughed seeing the move Shiro used.

At first, he thought the A*** Destroying Title was a joke made by the people but it seems like it was the truth.

"Ai seems like the disciples at the sect would have a hard time if she joined hahahaha…" Nan Tian laughed.

'I wonder what she would do to me if we were the same level.' He thought with amusement. However, that amusement soon turned his smile into a frown.

"Yeah, I should make sure my level is above her's at all times." He muttered.

###

Dashing towards the second layer, Shiro set a few traps on the walls.

Since she was still using the 1st phantom, not many people could pick up on her presence.

Her goal was to aim for top 100. Then she'll be able to have a better bargaining chip for Lyrica and Madison to enter a better faction. Or rather, for them to have more freedom in the faction.

As for why it would give them freedom, it was due to the fact that she'll be able to promise the faction a one-time assist. With her demonstration of power, they would have no reason to reject.

She quickly slid on her knees and dodged a lightning spear that shot past her.

Without even looking at her assailant, she pivoted on her knee and swept her foot in a clockwise motion.

A wave of cold mist was blown upwards, covering Shiro's body.

Flicking her wrist, Shiro created several ice bullets using the cold mist and sent it towards the assailant.

"Arg!"

His body was sent flying due to his armband reaching 0%HP.

Glancing left and right, Shiro saw 2 people charging at her with earthen spears.

She jumped up horizontally and spun her body like a torpedo. Grabbing the spears, she redirected them and caused them to stab each other.

With two more eliminated, Shiro was able to have a moment of peace before her next assailant charged at her.

He was a close combat mage due to the fact that his fist where glowing with mana.

*BAM BAM!

Shiro countered in a swift set of movements that consisted of using her right hand to push his fist down, and her left hand to smash his chin.

Slamming her palms into his torso, Shiro caused a short burst of ice to explode on impact.

*BOOM!

'Since I'm one of the first few to reach the second layer, the people here are more aggressive.' Shiro thought since the start of the rounds were always the most chaotic ones.

Tilting her head, she dodged another lighting spear. Grabbing it with her bare hands, she continued the momentum and threw it back at the thrower.

Since she had unlocked her lightning attunement, she was able to resist the lightning to a certain degree. This allowed her to throw the spear back.

Naturally, this was mostly attributed to the fact that Shiro had 'overwritten' the spell to become her's. By threading mana through the main composition of the spear, it then converted the lesser branches to become her's as well.

Seeing more people come towards her, Shiro narrowed her eyes.

Clasping her hands together, she opened them up to reveal a tiny lightning ball.

Thawing the ice on the ground, she created a giant puddle of water to act as her catalyst.

When the attackers realised what she was doing, they paled quickly and tried to jump away.

*BZZZZ!!!!!

Lightning sparked across the puddle and tasered the attackers.

She was about to send a few blunted spears to then when she felt danger behind her.

Flicking her wrist, a giant ice wall erected behind her to block the fireball.

*BOOOMM!!!!!

The force sent her flying forward a little.

Looking up, Shiro saw several other magic circles.

'So destroy the strong first huh? Let this miss entertain you!!!' Shiro thought as her mana flared.

Slamming both palms into the ground, two giant ice pillars started to form.

*PING!

She shattered the ice pillars, causing a mass of broken ice to float around her.

Due to her experience with constructing items with nanobots, she understood the best structural pattern she needs to go for to create the sturdiest shield.

Clenching her fist, the ice started to combine together piece by piece to create a giant shield that surrounded Shiro.

*BOOM!!!!

The attack barely managed to scrape off the top 2 layers of her shield. Her shield had a total of 10 layers condensed together.

While her INT may not be able to compare to their INT, her knowledge and experience more than makes up for this.

Flicking her wrist, parts of the shield broke off to become blunted spears and shot towards the people who made the spell.

Clutching her hand just before the spear hit, she controlled them to morph into rope-like restraints.

Without a second's delay, Shiro stomped down and caused several ice spikes to shoot towards them.

Due to the restraints, they couldn't react and were eliminated.

"Fuu…" Breathing out a breath of cold mist, Shiro took a moment to rest. The moment she stepped onto the second layer, it was one tense fight after another.

She had to make sure she kept the fights short since long fights were disadvantageous to her.

Especially since they were all either around her level or higher. Prolonging the fights meant she would be worn out faster.

Jogging towards the area to reach the next layer, Shiro frowned when she saw 3 school seniors blocking her way.

They were all female and Shiro realised the senior's plan to suppress them.

'This happened to Lyrica as well.' Shiro thought with a glare. Since they wanted to supress the younger years, they didn't deserve any mercy from her.

Crouching low, Shiro dashed towards them. Her pupils glowed with a slight neon blue.

Icy mist was flowing out from her palm as she slammed them into the ground.

*CRRRR!!!!!!

A cage formed around the arena almost instantaneously.

Spikes started to form on the cage bars while Shiro continued her dash towards them.

*PHEW PHEW PHEW!

The seniors blocked the frontal attacks with much difficulty. They were surprised at how much power were contained behind each spear.

Shiro's body flickered behind them as she grabbed the back of their neck.

*BAM!

She slammed the heads of the closest two seniors into the ground before aiming a palm at the last senior.

*BAM!

A blunted ice spear smashed against his head, eliminating him.

Dislocating the shoulder joints of the two seniors, Shiro eliminated them as well.

Watching the 3 fall back to the first layer, Shiro watched in disdain.

Turning on her heels, she resumed her dash towards the top 100.

*FUAH!

Several hundreds of fireballs appeared in front of Shiro causing her to frown.

Faded Snow Movement.

Since the fireball covered the view, they weren't able to see a portion of Shiro's body fade into snow.

Adjusting her footwork, Shiro flickered through the fireballs and exited relatively unharmed.

Seeing the assailant keeping a constant distance, Shiro frowned.

Currently, the range was a heavy weak point of her's due to the fact that it takes more mana the further away the spell was to you.

This combined with her broken links only made for a ridiculous MP consumption no level 33 should have.

'Close range it is.' Shiro thought, making an ice spear.

Stepping hard on the ground, she caused it to fissure before launching forwards.

*BAM BAM BAM!

Twirling the spear in her hands, Shiro managed to destroy all the fireballs that shot towards her. A sudden red glow appeared beneath her feet.

*BOOM!

Shiro quickly jumped back and avoided the mine. Her brows were furrowed heavily since she never expected someone else to know how to set up traps as well.

Setting a trap was normally a skill that level 50+ learned and not something a D ranked adventurer should know.

This was due to the fact that you had to make sure the trap activated correctly and didn't just set off the moment you place it down. On top of that, you would also need to make sure the trap could run independently for a short moment.

Sliding on her feet, Shiro paused in shock when she realised she stepped on another mine.

*BAM!

The force caused her to be thrown forwards.

Seeing the familiar red glow, Shiro cursed at how many mines there were.

Stabbing her spear into the ground, Shiro vaulted upwards and over the explosion.

Twisting her body, she aimed the spear at the attacker.

*BOOM!!!

A fire spear was shot out in return.

Landing on her feet, Shiro narrowed her eyes since she knew there were many more mines waiting for her.

Crouching down, Shiro frowned under her mask.

Dashing forwards, Shiro made a layer of ice wherever her feet touched.

Her mind was clocking in overdrive from visualising the structures of the ice.

*Boom boom boom!

Muffled explosions rang out since the mines couldn't break past the ice.

This caused the caster to panic since Shiro was closing in fast.

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

Her body flickered out of sight as the ice spread out.

Due to this, the explosions rang out constantly, confusing the caster from Shiro's real position.

*BANG!

An ice hammer crashed into the back of the caster and launched him forwards.

Rolling on the ground slightly, he saw a neon blue light appear under him.

*BOOM!

Shiro had set up a trap as well since he liked traps so much.

Cracking her neck slightly, Shiro sighed at her MP count.

[MP: 32,400/110,000]

In the few short exchanges, she had already spent a grand total of 77,600 MP. If it wasn't for the fact that her Monster title had basically doubled her status, she would be dry of MP by now.

She was about to pull her face mask down for a drink when she dodged right.

A wind blade passed her previous location, bringing up a huge gust wherever it passed.

'GODDAMN IT ANOTHER ONE?!' Shiro cursed since she couldn't even have the time to drink a potion.

Ice Chain!

Chains wrapped around the assailant while Shiro jumped towards him. Twisting her body in mid-air, Shiro slammed the ice staff into his chest.

*BOOM!!!!

A small crater collapsed under the attacker. Shiro wasn't merciful since the wind blade would have given her a deep wound if it had struck.

Kicking his body away, Shiro quickly popped a MP potion in her mouth while dashing towards the top 100 layer.

Making two spears, one in each hand, Shiro stabbed the first spear into the wall. Jumping on the spear, her body shot upwards.

Just before she reached her peak, Shiro stabbed the second spear into the wall and increased her momentum through spinning on the spear.

Landing on the 3rd layer with the shortest time needed so far, she quickly made two shields and blocked 2 lightning strikes.

Her opponents were twins around the early 20's. Lightning sparked around their bodies as Shiro could tell they were enhancing their speed.

'They must be close to Tier 3 Lightning attunement for a pseudo Lightning Armour to make an appearance.' Shiro thought with concern.

However, she's wasn't to be left behind. While she couldn't manifest an elemental armour, she could match their speed with her skills combined.

Narrowing her eyes, she increased her killing intent to take advantage of her cold touch and cold aura.

A blizzard started to form around Shiro. Her blue eyes glowed slightly, giving the twins a chill down the spin.

"She's dangerous."

"Indeed she is."

"Must be eliminated to keep our rankings."

"Full power?"

"Full power."

The lightning flared, causing the ground to crack and evaporate.

While their figures didn't flicker like Shiro's, their speed was still incredible.

Charging towards Shiro they aimed their finger at her.

Lightning gathered into a bullet and shot towards her.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro's body flickered out of view before flickering back into view. When it did, her hands her already in front of the first twin's face.

She was about to grab his face when a bullet shot towards her head at the perfect moment.

This would have been hard for normal people to dodge. However, Shiro was far from normal.

Aiming her left hand away from her, she created a small propulsion force. Combining that with her passive float, Shiro managed to dodge the bullet just in time.

But, as she dodged, the first twin kicked towards her.

Quickly guarding her chest, Shiro was sent flying backwards.

Landing roughly, she frowned seeing the teamwork between the two. While her experiences were indeed greater then theirs, they were winning in terms of stat's and attunement.

However, this was good for her. She'll be able to push her body to the limit.

Grinning slightly, Shiro made two ice spears in her hands and charged towards the twins.
