Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 147 Sword Myth Springs: A Serpentʼs Gynophobia

Waiting patiently by the trees, the group watched as each team challenged the boss. While there was a 95% mortality rate, there were times when they would see groups that pass.

The key to passing the test was to survive long enough. Once the time is up, the boss would retreat back into the water. Following this, a silver glow would encase the challengers.

Once it was finally their turn, the girls didnʼt say anything but sit on the boat and travelled towards the island.

”Wow…”

”Anyone know of these ladies?”

”Could they be from a famous sect?”

”Shouldnʼt we stop them? It would be a waste for beauties like them to die.”

Hearing the chatter around them, Shiro frowned before releasing a sliver of killing intent. She couldnʼt have them distracting her party members before an important fight after all.

After being exposed to the killing intent, the surrounding spectators felt like Shiro was much more dangerous than the actual bossʼs and shut up immediately. As for the more powerful cultivators, they snapped their eyes open and looked at Shiro in surprise as well as jubilation.

ʼIf a young girl like her has such a powerful killing intent, that means sheʼs experienced. If I can recruit her into my team, I should be able to conquer the bosses easily.ʼ They would think along these lines. Each of them started to formulate a plan to recruit her and while they were doing this, they kept their eye on Shiro so that they could evaluate her potential.

ʼLetʼs see if her potential and experience matches up.ʼ They thought to themselves.

Upon arriving on the island, Shiro found that the space available was surprisingly large. Each of them had enough room to spin in a circle with a sword and not hit each other.

”Trial of the water serpent. Bury your sword into the ground to reinforce your sword. Once that is done, survive the onslaught of the water serpents for 10 minutes. Failure means death.” Shiro muttered out whilst reading the sight.

Tapping her necklace, Shiro summoned her Ascendant Dream and buried it into the ground.

Lyrica, Madison and Silvia did the same even though Silvia only had two daggers.

A commotion instantly erupted seeing Shiro summon four floating swords.

”She has a Divine Relic!!!” Someone shouted out.

”But Iʼve never heard of a divine relic in the form of four floating swords.”

”Maybe theyʼre individual relics? Which could mean she is controlling four divine relics.”

Greed started to surface in their eyes.

Frowning at the different stares, Shiro eventually ignored it since she had bigger concerns.

[Conditions met: Challenge starts in 10 seconds. Please prepare yourselves.]

Looking at the system notification, they looked at each other and nodded.

”As planned as before, Silvia will be in the middle of all of us since sheʼs not too proficient with daggers.” Shiro said seriously and pulled out her swords.

Holding a blade in each hand, she let the other two float around them as an extra layer of protection.

*RUMBLE!!!!!

Seeing the five serpents appear, Shiro couldnʼt help but whistle at how big they looked up close.

*HSSSSS!!!!

”Eh?” Shiro muttered in shock seeing her vision started to blur. Stumbling around in a drunken state, Shiro found it hard to focus her mind on anything.

ʼThis is bad.ʼ She thought with a frown.

Meanwhile, both Madison and Silvia was experiencing the same thing. Lyrica on the other hand, was able to somewhat focus her mind.

*DANG DANG!!!!

Parrying two of the bones, Lyrica then grabbed one of Shiroʼs floating swords before slashing upwards at another bone.

*CRACK!!

ʼDamn thatʼs sharp!ʼ Lyrica thought in shock.

While she did know that Shiroʼs swords where orange grade weaponʼs, their quality far surpassed her expectations.

While Lyrica was trying her best at defending the party, both Madison and Shiro were struggling.

Even though Shiroʼs situation was slightly better since her instincts were top notch, Madison wasnʼt as fortunate.

Protecting her body with her greatsword, she gritted her teeth in pain. Due to her drunken state, she wasnʼt able to parry the strikes meaning she could only resort to resisting against it with brute force.

”Come on!!!” She shouted out whilst kicking her greatsword upwards in order to force the bones back.

As for Silvia, since she was being covered by the trio, she could only use her healing spells to try help the party out.

ʼThis canʼt go on.ʼ Shiro frowned after seeing the current situation.

ʼRight now, Iʼm barely hanging by using my instinc-ʼ

*DANG!
