Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 50: Yeti Berserker

Shiro narrowed her eyes as she placed Yin down.

"Little Yin, careful ok? I’m going to give this rock hell." Shiro said as Yin nodded.

Stepping back slightly, Shiro adjusted her grip on the hammer.

Dashing forwards, Shiro jumped up and twisted her body.

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

In addition to the counter weight phantom, Shiro also used the rocket to increase her momentum further.

*BOOOOMMMM!!!!

The impact caused the ground to shake, causing Shiro to grit her teeth.

The smash only caused a few fractures to spread out while some of the force still travelled through her body due to the rebound.

"What the hell is up with this stupid boulder?!" Shiro said as she gave it a kick.

Making a skill chip in her hands, she inserted it into the hammer.

[Flame Spirit Enhancement]

[Power Loader]

[Shock Multiplier]

[Blast Shell]

Adding four skills that not only increase the power output, but also the elemental weakness. Shiro readjusted her stance.

Making a ramp of ice, she started to skate as she increased her speed.

Jumping off the ramp, she twisted her body and used the skills.

The hammer lit aflame as it glowed with a golden light.

*BOOOMMMM!!!!!

The force of both objects colliding caused a shockwave bigger than last time as Shiro activated the dismantling on the hammer. This was so that the force would travel through the nanobots instead of her.

Thankfully, the force seemed to have done the job as the fracture was getting bigger by the second.

Making a sword, Shiro jammed it in one of the openings before kicking the sword and split the boulder in half.

"Che. Let’s see what’s in here that gave me so much trouble." Shiro muttered as she walked towards the remains of the boulder.

Moving the pieces aside, Shiro was surprised to find a wisp of light hovering in the centre.

[You’ve killed a Snow Girl in the process of formation. Gain title – Fratricide.]

[Snow Girl essence x1]

"... That was a Snow Girl?!" Shiro muttered as she realised that ’egg’ or boulder, was the result of mana trying to form the snow girl using natural means instead of the corpse consuming option.

Since the ’egg’ was a dense piece of mana, its defence would naturally be tough. However, that toughness would go away once it expended itself to form the snow girl.

Looking at the ball of essence in front of her, Shiro could help but smell an enticing scent emit from it.

"Hmm, am I supposed to eat this?" Shiro muttered as she poked and prodded at the ball of essence.

However, before she could consider eating it, Yin nabbed it in her mouth as swallowed it.

"Ai little Yin. You can’t just take it when you want to." Shiro sighed. She wasn’t going to eat it anyways so giving it to Yin wouldn’t be too bad.

After all, cannibalism was something a little uncomfortable with her. She didn’t even know what kind of adverse effects it could have had anyways.

[Yin LVL 10]

HP: 10,000/10,000

MP: 35,000/35,000

Skills – Shadow Buff (Tier 1) Ice Chain (Tier 1)

Shiro raised an eyebrow when she saw Yin gain an increase of 10k MP and the skill Ice Chain.

This naturally meant that she had the skill as well.

[Ice Chain (Tier 1)

Create a chain of ice around the enemy, locking them in place for a short amount of time.

Cost: 3,000 MP

Duration: 10 seconds. (Varies depending on strength)

Cooldown: 1 minute.

"Hmm... Interesting." Shiro muttered as it was a rare occasion that a mage would have a specific spell skill.

Mages would normally get skills like Tier 1 ice magic or the such. For a specific skill like Ice Chain, it would mean the power output of the skill would be higher.

Compared to an ice chain made from the Tier 1 ice magic, the Ice Chain skill would be around 10% to 20% better.

"Good job Yin. Next time you can help me by locking down the enemies." Shiro smiled as Yin was ecstatic from finally being able to help Shiro.

Placing Yin back into her hood, Shiro decided to check out the new title Fratricide.

[Fratricide – You’ve killed a member/sibling of your own race.]

+10% hate from snow girls

+10% respect from snow woman

"Hmm... I suppose if you think about it. All mana-based monsters are siblings since they came from the same source. That being said, why am I getting 10% respect from Snow Woman?" Shiro mutter.

’Perhaps it’s to do with the hierarchy. Strong eat the weak. The snow woman goes through a myriad of challenges to get to where they are. So I suppose killing a member of one’s race isn’t that uncommon.’ Shiro thought.

Dusting herself, she continued her way up the mountain.

Shiro narrowed her eyes when she saw the first Yeti after the boss.

Each of them were much slimmer and had a more elongated body.

Yin chirped in excitement as it couldn’t wait to test out her new skill.

"Give me a moment ok Yin?" Shiro smiled as Yin nodded.

Nocking an arrow, Shiro crouched as she aimed at the Yeti.

’Since they’re slimmer, that means their speed must have increased as well. If I have Yin help me restrain them for a moment, this will make things a lot easier.’

"Little Yin. Restrain him when I say go." Shiro said as Yin nodded and started to fly upwards.

"Go!"

*CRRRR!!

Ice chains shot out from beneath the Yeti’s feet as it wrapped around the legs, torso, arms and head.

*BOOM!

Shiro shot her arrow the moment she saw this. The Yeti couldn’t dodge as the arrow drilled through the Yeti’s skull, killing it instantly.

"Nice job little Yin." Shiro praised with a smiled as Yin danced happily on her shoulder.

Harvesting the Yeti, Shiro and Yin continued their murder streak all the way up the mountain.

There was a moment when more than one Yeti appeared but it was dealt with simply.

Shiro would first shoot one of them before Yin chained up the other one.

With the second one chained, she would take the chance to kill it as well.

And just in case a third Yeti came, Shiro had her Ice Chain ready and waiting too.

Now with Yin being able to help out in the fight, a portion of the EXP went to her as her level jumped upwards.

Whether or not it was due to Yin being very powerful because of her race, or the fact that she isn’t getting as much EXP. Yin was only able to level up 1 time even though they killed so many.

[Yin LVL 11]

HP: 11,000/11,000

MP: 2,000/37,000

Skills – Shadow Buff (Tier 1) Ice Chain (Tier 1)

The level had given Yin 1k in HP and 2k in MP.

Taking a moment for both her and Yin to regenerate back to full, they walked towards the second boss.

Hiding behind a wall, Shiro peeked at the second boss.

The boss was a hulking mass of flesh compared to the first boss.

Its height measuring up to around 3 meters tall, hulking muscles and two gigantic horns that looked like spears.

[Yeti Berserker LVL 30 – Elite]

HP: 700,000/700,000

MP: 100,000/100,000

"Say little Yin. Doesn’t this guy look more like a bipedal bull than a Yeti?" Shiro asked as Yin nodded.

Alright. You know the idea. Let’s go." Shiro said as Yin nodded.

In the time they had been fighting, Yin managed to grasp the timing slightly which made it easier for Shiro.

She didn’t need to shout out go all the time.

Dashing towards the Yeti Berserker, Shiro nocked an arrow in her bow.

*CRR CRR!

Ice chains sprang up from the ground as Yin used her skill.

Making herself a ramp, Shiro jumped upwards and aimed at one of the Berserker’s shoulder tendons.

*BUCHI!

The arrow severed the tendon easily as Shiro landed near his feet.

Lightning and metal erupted out of the bow as a blade was made on one of the edges.

Twisting her body, Shiro cut towards the tendon by the heel of the Berserker.

*BOOM!

The Yeti knelt down heavily as Shiro dismissed the bow and made a whip in her hands.

Lashing the whip around the neck of the Berserker, Shiro wrapped the other end around the legs.

Injecting mana to retract the whip, the Berserker fell on his back.

Lightning sparked in Shiro’s hand as she jumped up.

A greatsword was formed as she had printed several power type skills into the greatsword.

Twisting her body in mid-air, Shiro glared at the berserker with cold eyes as she swung the blade.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom + 4th Phantom.

Combining both Counter Weight Phantom and Internal Feasting Phantom, Shiro increased her destructive power further.

*BOOMMMMM!!!!!!

A crater was formed under the Berserker’s head as Shiro had aimed for the neck.

However, she frowned when she saw the previous wounds heal back up along with the neck wound.

"Tsk. Monster Skill – Rejuvenation." Shiro frowned as she knew this skill.

Rejuvenation was a skill that regenerated all damage sustained in the past 5 seconds to a certain degree.

This skill was a common skill that appeared in the skill set of heavy attack type monsters.

The skill was annoying to go against if the monster was higher level since they were smarter and knew how to use the skill to its full effect.

The worst part was that during the time the skill was casted, the monster would have a barrier proportionate to 200% of his health for 3 seconds. This protected it during the time it was recovering.

Flipping off the stomach of the Berserker, Shiro saw the Ice Chains break as the Berserker Glared at her with bloodshot eyes.

Stomping down, Shiro didn’t let it have the chance to attack her.

A blizzard started to pick up pace as Shiro’s body was hidden in the blizzard.

Activating Faded Snow Movement to gain an increase in speed, she circled around the Yeti.

*BOOM!

Smashing down with its fists, the Yeti cracked the ground as he didn’t give Shiro the chance to attack it again.

’Musclehead!’ Shiro cursed as the Berserker’s solution to her attack was to attack everything and anything around it. Even if it was wasted effort.

Dashing away from the Berserker, Shiro aimed her hands up in the air before clutching them.

A gate frame made from ice slowly appeared as she slammed her hand down.

The gate shot towards the Berserker as it pinned it down from the neck.

*BOOOMM!!

With the gate suddenly smashing against his head, the Berserker was back onto his stomach.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

5 more gates smashed downwards, trapping all his limbs with an extra gate at his waist.

*GRAHH GRAHH!!

The Berserker cried out in struggle as it could barely move its body.

Shiro only smiled as she remade her bow and nocked an arrow.

Pulling back her bow, Shiro was about to fire when the Berserker made an almost human-like sneer.

Light gathered between his horns as Shiro’s pupils shrank.

Dissembling her bow, Shiro dashed to the side as she started to skate away from her location.

*BOOOOMMMM!!!!!!

A blast of energy shot towards her previous location was the blast spread outwards.

Making a barrier using her Mana Shield, Shiro was sent rolling back due to the force.

It was only after a few rolls did she slow down.

Flipping back onto her feet, Shiro frowned when she looked at her current stats.

[HP: 38,000/50,000]

[MP: 0/82,500]

This was the first time in a while that she had taken damage as Shiro wasn’t pleased.

The sheer fact that the Berserker had Rejuvenation surprised her. However, what shocked her more was the fact that it even had the Tier up version of the breath attack

It wasn’t strange for a D ranked to have a breath attack, but for the Berserker to have a top tier 2/3 breath attack was insane.

If she was hit by that full-on, she would have move definitely died.

Quickly stuffing an MP potion into her mouth, Shiro dashed towards the Berserker.

She needed to take it out quickly before it pulled out another insane skill from his ass.

Remaking the bow, Shiro made sure it was a heavy bow this time. One that boasted the strongest attack power in her arsenal right now.

Drawing back on the strings, mana twisted into an arrow.

Holding the string back, the amount of mana charged in the arrow continued to grow as the Berserker was trying its hardest to struggle out of the gates.

Seeing the gates cracking, Shiro knew she had to attack it soon.

Injecting a few skill chips into the bow, Shiro activated them all.

[Piercing Blow]

[Enhanced Power]

[Latent Power]

[Attack Boost]

[Rotating Shot]

*BOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

The recoil of the arrow being shot sent Shiro sliding back as it pierced the Berserker through the entire length of his body. The entering point being the mouth.

It was only when she saw a clean hole through the Berserker did Shiro relax slightly.
