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

Chapter 620 Impure King

Leaving the guild, Shiro was thinking to herself about the raid one day later.

’Since we have a day’s time, do you think we should do some ’scouting’ so that the information of Madison’s background is revealed to us and only us?’ Shiro asked as it would be bad for the world to know that their party member is the descendant of a demon god.

{That would be wise. But if you wanted to do that, why didn’t you just do the raid with the party instead of telling the guild?"}

’That’s because they can still send out distress messages to people so that they’re informed of the 100 A classed demons. If the reinforcements are here before the raid, they can deal with any stragglers that escape our grasp no? Think of it as a backup.’ Shiro replied as Nimue nodded.

If they had no backup and a demon escaped to the city, quite a lot of people would die from its attacks.

"Right then, shall we go say hi to the demons?" Shiro smiled and turned to the party.

"Huh? Didn’t you get the guild to set up the raid in a day’s time?" Lyrica asked with slight confusion.

"Well think of it like this. The more A classed demons I or rather, we kill, the more EXP we can keep to ourselves, boosting our strength. And with reinforcement in the city for tomorrow’s raid, they can deal with any demons that escape from the underground." Shiro explained.

"True. 300 demon’s worth of EXP is pretty tempting. Especially since 100 of them are A class." Madison nodded her head.

"Then it’s sorted. Who knows, if we can kill them all before the day is up, the reinforcements can start to clean up the underground area that they have set up. I’m not exactly keen on cleaning up after all." Shiro chuckled.

"Fair enough. So where do we go? There’s got to be an entrance to the underground after all." Lyrica asked with a smile.

"To be honest, I have no idea. I still need to conduct a search after all." Shiro stuck out her tongue as this was all information she received from Zyn, whom she killed after leaving.

"Give me a moment, I’ll search for them now." Shiro smiled.

Looking around for a moment, she conjured up a tier 5 magic circle and sent it into the sky.

Snapping her fingers, the magic circle started to expand as her MP was draining fast. But with her passive buff from Rejuvenation along with Athera’s active skill ,she was able to offset her mana usage and power the magic circle all by herself which was unthinkable before tier 5.

After all, even for Wrath of Stars, she needed to set up several mana gatherers to collect mana from her surroundings in order to power the spell.

However, after reaching Tier 5, her control and power had increased to the point where she can now power this huge spell all by herself.

With Madison as a reference, due to the demon heritage, Shiro was able to pick up on the demonic signals deep underground.

Activating the second part of the magic circle, a semi translucent map of the place appeared in her mind as all the hidden tunnels were revealed to her.

Dismissing the magic circle, she teleported the party into her rift.

"I found the tunnels so we’ll be phasing through the ground into the tunnels instead of going through the entrance." Shiro smiled as the party nodded their heads.

While she was bringing them to the tunnels, she summoned some nanobots and started to craft the guns that each of them wanted.

"This is?" Helion raised his eyebrows at the small orb that Shiro had passed to him as this was not miniguns and rail cannons.

"The four big assed guns are secured to the ground so it wouldn’t make sense for you to be carrying them on your back at all times. When you find a good spot, throw the orb down in front of you and then step back. The guns will appear after a short while." Shiro rolled her eyes as Helion nodded his head.

"Also, Madi, what kind of armour do you want? I got a few mech suits for you to choose from." Shiro called out as several holographic screens appeared in front of Madison. Each screen showed an image of the armour along with its features and benefits. It even told her about some of their weaknesses and what she needed to be careful of when using them.

"Hmm...." Thinking about it for a moment, Madison eventually picked the armour called Impure King.

The armour was one that focused on sustaining itself on the battlefield with high defence and lifesteal. The armour was one that could convert between defence and speed but it took a large amount of mana to do so each time. Plus, during the moment of conversion, there’s a period where the user won’t be able to move, exposing themselves so one needs to be careful of when they use this.

"Interesting choice. There are probably better ones but why this one?" Shiro asked with curiosity.

"Because it has the highest lifesteal. With the power of the shotgun, I’ll be able to regenerate a huge chunk of health in the middle of combat. Plus, isn’t there also the feature of spiked defence? You rebound some of the damage you take which when paired with life steal, is passive healing no?" Madison pointed out as Shiro nodded her head.

"You are indeed correct. Its main problem is mana efficiency as it isn’t the most elegant of designs but the other aspects are very powerful. I can modify it a little so that you can hopefully a get a boost of mana every time you come into contact with an enemy with the feature called mana leech."

"Wait, if I combined that with spiked defence, doesn’t that mean I can get health and mana back while I’m defending?" Madison raised her eyebrow.

"And when you stack your defence raising skills on top of all that?" Shiro grinned.

". . .Damn ok I can see why you like breaking common sense so much. This is pretty fun." Madison laughed as she was excited to try all of this out.

"See? You should embrace the ridiculousness rather than go against it. Isn’t it so much more fun breaking the system with synergies?" Shiro smiled.

"At long last, the final bastion for normal in this party has collapsed. All hope is lost for common sense~" Aarim declared as the party only laughed since Madison had been quite adamant about normality. But once she took a bite of the fruit known as Abnormality, she wouldn’t be able to give it up.

"What? It’s not like I was going to get my wish soon anyways. With Shiro around, do you really think I can get normality?" Madison pouted.

"There there, have some op armour instead." Shiro patted her head and handed her a crystal necklace. Looking at the crystal, Madison could see nanobots swirling around and understood that this was going to form the Impure King amour.

"To activate this, I need you to shout out a chant that may or may not cause you to die of cringe." Shiro grinned as there were hints of sadism in her eyes.

"Err...."

"I’m only kidding. If it was someone else, I would have designed it so that they would need to shout some sh*t like ’Corrupt the world with me as the catalyst! Impure King~’ haha. Their face of utter humiliation would be quite a sight but since it’s you, all you have to do is pump that necklace with mana and it’ll activate." Shiro chuckled.

Sighing in relief, Madison was glad that she didn’t need to shout out an embarrassing chant.

"Now then, we have arrived at one of the underground tunnels. Are you ready to wreck some shop?" Shiro grinned as she opened the rift.

Cracking her neck, she stepped out of the portal with her two hand cannons.

###

Somewhere deep in the underground caverns, a few demons suddenly raised their heads up in shock.

In the distance, they could sense the signature of the one they had been looking for approaching with the signature of the angel.

"Do you think she has captured the angel and is coming to prove her bloodline?" One of the demons asked with an excited look in his eyes.

"Perhaps. Let’s go greet the princess and look at the situation ourselves. They seem to have a few guests with them, one of which is a queen." An older Demon narrowed his eyes. Standing up, they unfurled their demonic wings and started to fly through the caverns, making their way to the party at breakneck speed.
