Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 456 Parasitic Harvester

Seeing the pillar of fire crash down into their new home, the monsters roared out in panic as they quickly retreated.

"Ha... Damn, about time they left this queen alone. There’s only so much focus I can give to you people." Shiro joked as she was breathing rather hard since fighting out a whole horde by herself while protecting an objective wasn’t the easiest task to do.

Looking towards the nest, Shiro was rather surprised to see the monsters jump into the fire without hesitation.

"Mn? Are they trying to reduce the impact of the attack?" She muttered in confusion as they were layering themselves over what used to be the roof.

However, the power of the spell was too much for them so instead of leaving behind a corpse, only ash remained.

*URAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Hearing a thunderous cry, Shiro narrowed her eyes towards the nest.

There was a big chance that whoever cried out just now was the boss.

*KRRRRR

Feeling the ground shake as if it was an earthquake, Shiro quickly stabilised her footing.

*BANG!!

Erupting out from the nest, was a giant pillar of flesh that had an assortment of limbs, armour and other objects sticking out of its body. It was as if god had just rolled up a piece of glue into the shape of a worm and just threw it in the trash.

Black blood and bones could be seen through a few of the gaps but most of it was just flesh and objects.

Looking towards the head of the monster, she could see four splits that reached down his body rather than a single mouth. Within those splits, waves upon waves of moving monsters could be seen, writhing around. From afar, it almost looked like a huge nest of maggots.

While it had no eyes, it seemed like it could sense the area around it perfectly since it locked onto her immediately upon exiting the next.

[Main Quest Updated. Defeat ’The Corruption/Parasitic Harvester’]

Glancing at the updated main quest, Shiro thought for a moment before charging up her spear.

’Let’s test this guy’s defence.’ She thought to herself.

As the flames on the spear increased, Shiro narrowed her eyes and threw the spear towards the Harvester.

*BOOM!!!!

Releasing a pulse of fire to increase its speed, the spear slammed against the Harvester’s body, causing a small tidal wave of corpses to fall out from the splits.

Frowning slightly, Shiro saw that there were only a few faint scorch marks from the fire but other than that, it seemed like the Harvester was quite resistant to physical based attacks.

*URAHH!!!

Roaring out in rage, the Harvester charged towards her as it slithered across the ground, leaving behind a trail of corpses.

Quickly activating her Celestial Raiment, Shiro switched her element to forest and slammed her hands down.

Tree roots started to erupt out from the ground as it tried to bind the Harvester down. Unfortunately for her, the Harvester didn’t seem phased by this attempt as it easily shrugged off the bindings.

Seeing this giant worm-like creature come closer, it was only now that Shiro truly understood how big this being was. Despite coming this far out from the capital, she still couldn’t see the end of its body as it was still connected to the nest.

Jumping up into the air, she aggroed it a little further away from Kuromi and the guards since they were currently recovering from using such a big spell.

Switching her element to Void Star, she created three orbs and threw it towards the ’mouth’/ splits in its body.

*BANG BANG BANG!!!

Exploding upon impact, Shiro saw that Void Star was able to deal more damage compared to her spear throw.

’Seems like he’s weaker to magic damage. Hmm... if I only relied on the Celestial Weapons, this would have been an impossible fight. But now that I know he’s weak to magic, I should be able to kill him quickly.’ Shiro thought with a smile.

However, as she was thinking about this, the Harvester shot out a torrent of green and black liquid towards her.

Feeling danger overwhelm her senses, Shiro quickly jumped into a portal in order to dodge. Reappearing not too far from her previous spot, she glanced back to see the ground melt away upon contact with the liquid.

"Tch, that’s going to be annoying." She muttered with a frown.

Switching her element to Cosmic Ice, cold mist started to surround her. Snapping her fingers, a blizzard formed near the Harvester as ice could be seen spreading across the surface of its body.

But before she could fully activate her spell, several black ’tongues’ shot out of the Harvester’s body and tried to skewer Shiro.

Quickly dodging a few of them, one of them managed to come close to hitting her but she parried it with her shield. But despite her success in parrying the attack, the force of the impact still caused her bones to creak as they bordered on the threshold of breaking.

Gritting her teeth, she grabbed her spear and enhanced her strength with Celestial Energy.

’No more fooling around since the longer this goes on for, the worse it’ll get for me. Now that I know it’s weak to magic, I just need to bombard it.’ She thought to herself as she switched back to her Nytri mindset.

Entering a state of full focus, she swiped at one of the ’tongues’ she managed to cut it off as black blood tried to get on her body.

Flicking her element to fire in an instant, evaporated the blood away before it could come into contact and used Boreal Wind to disperse the gas so that she didn’t breathe it in.

Flying higher into the sky, she flicked her element once more as she gathered lightning between her palms.

Creating a giant lightning spear much like the one she used to attack the dragon, she swiped her hand down and sent it towards the Harvester.

*BANG!!!!

Crackling against the Harvester’s body, the skin started to boil and peel off while it tried to attack her with its tongues once more.

Changing her element back to ice, she released a pulse of ice mist that started to slow the tongues down before freezing them.

"Break!" Shiro said coldly as she switched her element to Stygian Steel and had metal constructs slam against the frozen tongues, breaking them into pieces.

As Shiro was juggling between elements in order to fight the Harvester, Kuromi had recovered from using her spell and was watching the fight from a distance.

Despite them technically being the same person, Kuromi couldn’t help but watch in awe as Shiro commanded the elements to go against this monstrosity. In her current state, she was able to accurately judge which elements she needed in order to deal the most amount of damage in that one moment and which ones could help her avoid an attack.

’She’s setting up for opportunities of attack through countering with her elements.’ Kuromi smiled since Shiro was finally showing her talent as a mage.

In her previous life, despite being a tier 6 legend, she had always used her firearms and never focused on magic. However, now that she had a thorough understanding of how her elements work and when she should use them, her diversity had increased by another level. Regardless of what type of enemies she faces, whether they be resistant to physical based attacks or magic, she could deal with them alone.

If she could not do that, she would only be taken as a joke if she said she wanted to take the burden on by herself.

"Right then, with my little sister risking her life right now, what do you suppose we should do." Kuromi said as she glanced back at the guards.

"We help!" The guards replied in sync.

"Correct! Now hit that disgusting worm with everything you got!" Kuromi grinned as she dashed towards the battlefield

Stomping down, she created a pillar of ice and launched her into the air as she took a page out of Shiro’s book and created an ice spear.

Twisting her body, she threw the spear towards the Harvester’s body.

*BANG!!!

Piercing the body, the spear exploded into an ice rose as vines spread out and pinned it to the ground.

With the Harvester now pinned for a short moment, they could bombard it with everything they got.
