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

Chapter 611 New Skill

The rewards for the final boss were surprisingly rewarding as there were quite a few high quality armours that were distributed to the rest of the party. In addition to the armour, there were also three skill stones for the party to take with them.

Two of which were normal skill stones while the final one was surprisingly a Blessed Skill Stone.

Normal skill stones gave you a random skill according to your level, but it may not be fit for you. Example being a mage receiving physique enhancing skill.

On the other hand, Shiro was excited about the Blessed Skill Stone as it allows you to evolve one of your existing skills and it could be any skill that you want.

Her first thought was to evolve her Extraction skill but there was one concern. And that was the fact that she did not have full control over the mysterious element. It was something that the system ’allowed’ her to use for the moment meaning she probably shouldn’t be reliant on the skill.

Not only that, it becomes redundant the moment the system is gone so that was also another point of concern.

Her second thought was on her Grace skill. If she were to evolve Grace, it could become a skill that revives the dead while her third choice was her soul sword. Remembering the affects her soul sword had, Shiro couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if she were to evolve it.

Plus, she had other items that could potentially evolve her soul sword further such as the Origin Fusion Cell she received when she first evolved her Nanomancer class along with the Primordial Enchantment Rune that she had recently acquired.

With these three items boosting her Soul Sword, it could become something monstrous even with her standards.

"Everyone." Shiro called out.

"What is it?" Lyrica turned towards her while scrolling through her stats to assign some points. After the fight, everyone had gained a few levels so there were some extra points to be spent.

"Do you mind if I take this Blessed Skill Stone? I know it’s something precious but I kinda want to see what will happen if I combine this with two other items that I’ve been saving up." Shiro asked with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Who do you think we are?" Lyrica pouted.

Before Shiro could say anything, Lyrica walked up to her.

"Of course, we mind." She furrowed her brows.

"Eh?" Blinking a few times, Shiro looked down at her skill stone before back at Lyrica again.

"Pft, what’s with that face? Of course, we don’t mind haha!" Lyrica laughed as she turned towards the rest of the party.

"You don’t mind right? Plus, I’m quite interested to see what kind of crazy skill she’ll get if she uses the stone." She called out.

Nodding their heads, the party had an excited look on their faces while Madison only groaned.

"Please I don’t need anything crazier in my life." She complained but everyone ignored her cries for normality.

"Right then, I’ll explain to you what I want to do. With this Blessed Skill stone, it evolves one skill of my choice. Therefore, it’s better to use this stone as the final step. The other items that I have are the Origin Fusion Cell and the Primordial Enchantment Rune. The Fusion Cell allows me to fuse any number of skills together as long as they’re of the same category while the Rune allows me to enhance a skill and grant it the Divine Attribute." Shiro said while making a set of tables and chairs for everyone to sit on.

"Meaning, a single skill of mine will go through several upgrades in an instant. This might help me reach tier 5 since my upgrade requirements are not strict. With the rune granting me divinity, it might be the key."

"Oh my, which skill are you planning to upgrade then? Grace?" Lyrica asked curiously.

"Close but not quite." Shiro shook her head.

"You have something more ridiculous than Grace?" Madison raised her eyebrows.

"Yes and no. In terms of skill grade, Grace is much higher but in terms of raw power, this skill is almost unbeatable in my arsenal of powerful skills. It’s the Soul Sword skill. It’s like a literal manifestation of my soul into a sword and its attributes are quite... interesting. One slice against the skin with my soul sword will inject lethal poison into your body while corrupting your soul. A strike against the heart will consume the soul, forcing my enemies out of reincarnation. I can also slice the sword against myself to gain a huge boost in power." Shiro explained as Madison only sighed and slammed her head against the table, surprising the party.

"Wake me up when she finishes the skill." Madison waved her hand lazily.

Raising her eyebrow, Shiro only shrugged before looking at the rest of the party.

"Now then, are you ready to see something interesting?" She asked with a smile.

"Not when ’Interesting’ in your dictionary means becoming the grim reaper and harvesting souls but sure, I’m here to watch." Silvia chuckled.

Agreeing with Silvia, the rest of the party made themselves comfortable while Shiro prepared to evolve her skill.

The first step would be to use the Origin Fusion Cell. Since it required skills of the same category, her Soul sword is perfect as it is both a sword skill and a berserk skill. Meaning, she can combine all of her berserk skills along with Refraction, Sword Domain and Unseen Blade.

Taking a deep breath, she brought out the Origin Fusion Cell that had been collecting dust in her inventory.

[Origin Fusion Cell - ???]

An item blessed by the origin. When used, users can fuse any number of skills of the same category and receive an upgraded skill as a replacement. The stronger and more skills you use as fusion material, the better the final skill.

With the item being classified as ???, Shiro couldn’t help but wonder if it was something similar to the Error element that she had received. However, that was thoughts for later. Right now, she had skills to combine.

Activating the item, she watched as a brand-new system window appeared in front of her. There was a main box followed by a large empty box. Understanding that she needed to choose her skills and place it into the new window, Shiro started to drag her skills over one by one with Soul Sword in the main box as it was going to be the main ability that she wanted to focus around.

Force of Elements, Frenzied Incarnation EX, Refraction...

One by one, the screen started to fill up with skills that were of the same category as Soul Sword.

To her surprise, she was even allowed to select the skills that she had recycled from items meaning every single berserk skill and sword skill that she knew was going to be fused into one.

Once she was sure that all of the skills she could choose were in the window, she pressed the accept button on the bottom.

*BOOM!!!!

Suddenly, a giant radiant magic circle appeared in the sky as Shiro was not able to identify its tier. Normally, you would find out the tier of the magic circle through the amount of core circles or rather, layers that it had. Each tier would represent a single layer meaning tier 5 magic circles had 5 layers.

As for this one that she was currently seeing, there were simply too many to count and they were flickering in and out of existence with each passing second.

With Shiro in the centre, it was quite a sight to behold especially when the party was so close to her.

Watching the surge of mana that was pulled up into the magic circle, they were surprised to find themselves weak from the lack of mana.

"Urg, I can’t even rest in peace." Madison complained as she glanced up at the giant magic circle.

Ignoring the party, Shiro focused memorising this magic circle as best as she could. Who knows, she could potentially study this type of magic circle and make use of it in the future.

As the magic circle absorbed more mana, Shiro noticed that it was shaking the raid dungeon as the ’ceiling’ of this realm was now showing cracks.

However, she couldn’t stop now.

Feeling a surge of new knowledge in her mind, Shiro did not hesitate to use her Primordial Enhancement Rune.

Feeling a wave of foreign energy surged through the deepest parts of her consciousness.

[Abnormal Situation Detected, calling available administrators.]

Ignoring the system prompt, Shiro activated her third and final item, the Blessed Skill Stone.

*CRACK! PING!!!!

Shattering the walls of the raid, a giant pillar of light shot up into the night sky as the Vatican City was suddenly void of all mana. People who were in the midst of walking felt weakness wash over them as many collapsed from this phenomenon.

[Divine Grade Skill has been created.]
