Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Novel

Chapter 769 The Feeling of Nanobots

"Did the sword gain a good effect?" Nan Tian asked as Shiro wouldn’t change her mind so easily. After all, she wasn’t one that liked to take too many risks. The fact that she would suggest fighting the queen after expressing her worries the night before meant that the sword changed things around.

"Yup. I was worried that I couldn’t face the queen head on without the tier 6 guards getting in my way. However, there’s a special effect of my sword that makes it so that I can fight the queen alone without anyone being able to interfere." Shiro smiled as Nan Tian raised his eyebrow.

Snapping her finger, Shiro created a hologram that displayed her sword’s effects for Nan Tian.

"That’s.... certainly helpful." He nodded his head as he couldn’t believe the stats that he was seeing.

While the sword had no ’level’ to speak of along with numerated stats, the passives spoke of its power. Plus, with the power of her strange element, she could target their source code at will. It was unbreakable so she could use it as a shield if she wanted to and it also ignored 80% of all forms of armour.

This was the worst nightmare for tanks as this sword literally gave no sh*ts about your defences.

As for its passive, the fear resistance was hard to obtain to begin with. Fear resistant items were rare and even Shiro didn’t have much when the beast queen appeared before her.

Nan Tian could still remember that he needed to lend Shiro one of his items for her to be able to move. One could truly see how powerful that passive skill was.

With just these passives, the sword was good enough but there were powerful actives too. It was truly a blade that was worth its rainbow status.

"Yup. Even with a 20% decrease in stats, the power of my sword should be enough to cover that gap." Shiro smiled.

"What about your armour? Do you want to upgrade that too or are you leaving that for later?" Nan Tian asked curiously.

"Hm... I’ll save it for later. The sword should work fine for now so there’s no need to be too hasty." Shiro shook her head. After all, it was probably better to upgrade her armour when Helion improves it some more.

"Shall we go inform the elders then? With a change of plans, I suppose we should be planning around your abilities so that you can escape after killing the queen." Nan Tian smiled.

"You seem awfully confident that I can kill the queen. My future self did say not to underestimate them you know?" Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Yes but it seems like you have already shifted the path no? The future is forever changing with each step. The fact that you saw your future makes it so that there’s the chance for change. Plus, it’s you who we’re talking about. Even if you tell yourself to not underestimate them, you use your skills and experience to come out on top no?" Nan Tian smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

"There are still a few things I haven’t achieved but I can definitely say that things have changed. As for me killing the queen, I don’t know much of her abilities yet so I can’t say for sure. But I am pretty confident of my victory right now."

"Don’t be too overconfident as it could lead to your downfall. You cannot do the same as what you did to the fake queen since this is a genuine queen that you’re dealing with now." Nan Tian reminded as Shiro nodded her head.

"Don’t worry I know." Shiro reassured since she wasn’t that stupid.

Hopping out of her bed, she snapped her hand and quickly made herself a dress with some light armour.

"Hais, every time I see you use your nanobots I can’t help but wonder how it even works. You can use it for both combat and for leisure. Making clothes and armour at will." Nan Tian sighed.

"I’m basically a factory for the core of the nanobots. I pump it full of mana and more of these tiny robots are produced. You can also think of them as atoms I guess. Depending on how I arrange them, I’’m able to change the feeling of the item I produce." Shiro explained as she summoned a handful of nanobots.

"Want to give it a try?" Shiro chuckled as Nan Tian nodded his head.

Touching the nanobots, he furrowed his brows since it was quite a strange texture.

It was similar to a handful of sand only one that would stick to your skin and felt cold to the touch. Not only that, it acted like a fluid too. Depending on how he moves his hand, the nanobots would flow differently. It was definitely something that Nan Tian had never felt before and in one way it was rather unique.

"Seems like you’re having fun with it." Shiro chuckled.

"Well it’s quite different." Nan Tian replied as the nanobots solidified in the shape they were currently in.

"The funny thing is that it can also change texture. I can make it soft like silk, smooth like the surface of a polished jewel or rough like the concrete we walk on." Shiro shrugged as she dismissed the nanobots.

Feeling it disappear in his hands, Nan Tian could only describe it as ash floating away in the wind. It just crumbled and disappeared.

"How did you even get it in the first place? You never told me." Nan Tian asked.

"Well... it has something to do with my first life I suppose. Though the fact that it followed me to this life was quite a mystery."

"Strange things happen to you all the time, I’m not too surprised." Nan Tian chuckled.

"Mn, well let’s see..."

###

Explaining the story to Nan Tian along with her background with Aekari, he was rather surprised that she was quite delicate as a child. It was unfortunate that the experiments ruined things for her but in one way he was also grateful since it allowed him to meet her.

A rather strange feeling to be grateful about harm coming to her just so that he had received this chance.

"What’s wrong with your face? You seem... rather concerned?" Shiro asked as she raised her eyebrow curiously.

"Would it be weird if I said that I was happy about the things that happened to you? So that I was able to meet you?" Nan Tian forced a smile since he felt a little guilty.

"Pft haha that’s fine don’t worry about it. I don’t really care about what I had to go through since it’s the past. Though I am also grateful since it allows me to grow stronger and control my life and death to a certain extent. That is probably the only thing that I’m grateful to the scientists for. That and the beautiful display of fear and regret they showed when I killed them." Shiro shrugged.

"A bit grim but not a lie I suppose." Nan Tian shrugged.

"Pft you afraid?" Shiro smirked.

"A little with how many times you have threatened to hit me."

"Stop being afraid over nothing. I haven’t hit you yet." Shiro rolled her eyes.

Continuing to talk for a little bit longer, they made their way to the meeting hall.

Calling the elders, she discussed their new plan.

It mainly revolved around the elders searching for the captured prisoners while Shiro and Nan Tian faced off against the queen and her guards. Nan Tian could distract the tier 6 guards and help Shiro escape once she’s done with the queen. The elders were a little concerned but after describing her sword’s ability, they were a little convinced but not by much.

After all, while she has proven great combat ability for a level 300, she was against a real queen 200 levels above her.

Little did they know, Shiro’s stats were getting close to her tier 6 self. While she may be level 300, her true level should be much higher if one was to think about stats.

Eventually, they nodded their heads since there wasn’t much that they could do aside from giving her several life saving items that they had kept just in case things go wrong.

While they were preparing to leave, Shiro did some final check ups to make sure everything was ok.

{Do you feel nervous at all?} Nimue asked curiously.

’A little. I’m facing a proper queen this time unlike the fire queen. Like my future self said, she was a pushover. This one is going to be different.’

{Mn, when it says one on one, do you think me, Iziuel and Estrella can assist you since we’re inside your mana realm?}

’Probably not since the system is rather strict about these things. But we can try. Anyways, this is quite the task for my first actions as the queen isn’t it?’ Shiro laughed.

{It was either this or something worse that would make me want to throw an island or two.} Nimue rolled her eyes.

Talking for a little longer, Shiro set off with Nan Tian, the three elders and some spirits that the elders had brought to assist them.
