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

Chapter 97 Blood Crystal Armour Set

Killing the boss wasn’t too difficult since they basically had three tanks rotating the aggro between them. Shiro, Madison and Jonas.

Whenever the boss swung its sword, Shiro would create an ice ramp that would redirect the swing, reducing the burden on the party by a large margin.

Whittling the health of the boss down, Shiro would occasionally glance back towards her boss and see her spell slowly fading.

’We don’t have much time left.’ She thought to herself and increased her damage per second.

Once the boss had reached 1HP, Shiro gestured for everyone to stand back.

Understanding that Shiro had one of the biggest damage outputs in the party, they left the killing blow for her.

Frozen Hell: Frozen Slumber.

Six magic circles erupted out around the boss, surprising Shiro.

’Wait wasn’t there supposed to only be two magic circles?’ Shiro thought in surprise.

*CLANG!

Ice Chains erupted out of the magic circles and wrapped around the boss.

Continuing the spell, Shiro slowly closed the distance between her hands. She only smiled when she felt less resistance from the boss since the defences were reduced.

"Freeze!" Shiro shouted the keyword as she slammed her hands together.

*BANG!!!!

The moment she had closed her hands together, the boss was frozen over entirely and shattered into large chunks of ice.

Analysing the battle quickly, Shiro realised that after the spell had become a skill, it had not only increased in power but also reduced the MP cost.

"We’ll collect the loot in a second, let’s kill the other boss first." Jonas suggested.

Shiro nodded in agreement as the party made their way towards the second boss.

When they arrived, they were rather surprised to see the boss in a half-frozen state. The moment he saw Shiro, he glared at her with bloodshot eyes.

[Same strategy as last time only this time, I think I’ll be the only tanker.] Shiro typed out seeing her aggro with the boss shoot through the roof.

The party nodded as it was easy to see the boss being fixated on killing Shiro.

###

The fight wasn’t too difficult since the party had already experienced in killing the first boss. With Shiro being the main tank, Madison used the Attack Type Demon Knight to increase her damage output.

This shocked the party since Madison was a combination of both attack and defence. Her attacking power was just as strong as her defensive power, leaving Jonas speechless since he was the same except that his output for both attack and defence was lower than focused classes.

However, from what he could see, Madison’s damage output and defence was definitely comparable to the attack and defence of focused classes. Hell, he even suspected it to be a little higher.

’Why are these three so abnormal???’ Jonas thought to himself. Lyrica was the extreme of attacking power and had little to no defensive options at all. Shiro was a mage that was able to switch between being a powerful attacker and powerful defender. Naturally, her attacks were many times more powerful than her defensive capabilities.

Meanwhile, Madison had the best defence of the group but her attack fell short of reaching Shiro’s and Lyrica’s level of attack.

’If Silvia joined their party, would she be able to discover more of her potential?’ Jonas smiled at the thought.

But no matter what he thought, nothing would happen if they didn’t leave this dungeon.

[We’ll loot up as best as we can. Madison, the bosses dropped a decent set of sword and shield that synergise with each other and increases their stats when paired together.]

Handing her the sword and shield, Madison was surprised at their stats. They were much more powerful than her current gear and would definitely help increase her contributions.

"Why are they so powerful?" Madison asked.

[Mutated dungeon plus the fact that the monsters are level 50. Thankfully, the sword and shield only has the requirement of stats rather than level. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to equip them.] Shiro replied.

Most of the gear that she found in this dungeon didn’t have a level requirement and only had a stat requirement.

She guessed that it was due to the fact that this was a mutated dungeon that was originally level 40. The gear was supposed to help the adventurers improve while they were inside the dungeon.

[Lyrica, here are some armour pieces that will increase your attack and speed more than the set armour you have on. While they don’t provide bonuses like your set armour does, their base values combined together is more than what your armour gives you.] Shiro typed out while handing her some armour pieces.

These armour pieces gave almost no defence but outrageous attack and speed. The two stats that Lyrica needed the most.

"Thanks." She smiled and equipped the armour.

Shiro didn’t give her the dual ended blades since they weren’t upgraded yet. Plus, there were stronger equipment within the pile of loot that she could use instead.

[Silvia, Erica, we’ll share the INT based armour between us while the three of you can pick whichever armour you want.]

Shiro said as she pulled out a bunch of armour and weapons she had been collecting over the past five days.

They were surprised at how much loot there was. Looking at her, they realised that she must have had enough time to loot the bodies while also being able to escape with her life.

This only made them excited as it meant that their chances of survival had increased.

[Loot it quickly, we’ll enter the castle once we’re prepared.] Shiro said as she too started to look through the pile of loot.

With this mutated dungeon, they could effectively equip level 50 equipment while not even being level 50 since the equipment only asked for stat requirements.

’If the mutations weren’t randomised, I might want to stay in more of these dungeons. Shiro thought to herself as she enjoyed the feeling of being able to level up quickly along with sorting through loot.

After looking through the pile of loot, Shiro was surprised to see pieces of set equipment that only lacked a few pieces to become whole.

[Blood Crystal Armour Set (3/6) – Purple]

A naturally dropped equipment set different from a blacksmith crafted set since they are more potent in some regard.

Plus, a purple level 50 set wasn’t something blacksmiths could create at their level. And when they could, they would have better things to make rather than a low level purple set.

While the armour themselves were a little weaker when compared to normal purple armour pieces, the set would only show its true value when it reached 6/6 pieces collected.

[Does anyone have any pieces of the Blood Crystal Set?] Shiro asked.

"I have two pieces on me." Erica spoke up as she gave Shiro the two pieces. As much as she wanted to keep a purple set equipment, she knew Shiro would be able to make use of it better than her. Rather than momentary loot, she much preferred keeping her life.

"I have a piece on me." Silvia spoke up as well.

[Thank you.] Shiro smiled seeing how they gave her the pieces of a set equipment so easily.

Not many could be like them as they would be driven by greed and didn’t want to expose the fact that they had the loot.

"No it should be us thanking you. If not for your help, we would have lost our lives long ago." Erica said as she didn’t think she’d continue dungeoning after they survived this dungeon. The fear of a dungeon mutating at any given moment left a deep mark on her mentality as she didn’t think she’d be able to enter a dungeon again after this experience.

Shiro could tell what Erica was thinking and only sighed. The mutated dungeons were double edged blades that had bigger dangers than rewards.

Erica’s reaction was quite normal for someone who was suddenly thrown in a mutated dungeon more than 10 levels ahead of them.

Not to mention the killing intent they felt at the start of the dungeon. That would definitely leave a mark in her mind.

Shifting her focus, Shiro inspected the remaining three pieces of the Blood Crystal Set.

[Blood Crystal Armour (1/6) – Purple]

+50 DEF

+100 INT

[Blood Crystal Leggings (1/6) – Purple]

+150 AGI

[Blood Crystal Shoulder Guards (1/6) – Purple]

+100 DEF

+100 INT

With all six pieces gathered, Shiro checked out the six-piece set effect.

[Blood Crystal Set Effect (6/6) – Purple] (Set effects don’t stack)

+200 INT, AGI, VIT

+50 Mana Leach

+50 Life Steal

+15% suppression against Blood Type Enemies

+15% Damage Against Blood Type Enemies.

Looking at the effects, just the +50 Mana Leach and Life Steal was enough to make Shiro equip the set.

Immediately equipping the set, Shiro felt her strength increase.

Adding the 100 free stat points she received, her MP increased by a large chunk in a short moment.

’With my MP reaching 250k+, I’ll be able to use Frozen Slumber twice and still be able to use Hand Cannon creation for damage per second.’ Shiro thought with a smile.

As for weapons, she was fine without them for the moment.

Once everyone had equipped themselves with stronger gear, Shiro stored the rest of the loot in her inventory ready to be either recycled or given to Helion so he could deconstruct them and get some rare materials out of them.

"Shall we reveal our armours?" Lyrica said as to dispel the tense atmosphere a little.

[Sure, you first?] Shiro replied with a smile.

Lyrica nodded as a set of armour appeared on her body.

The armour would have been considered as ’skimpy’ if not for the fact that she was wearing her outfit. In addition to this, it looked quite comedic being laid on top of her clothes. Especially the fact that her armour included a pair of armoured panties that were connected to her leg armour.

Blushing heavily, Lyrica immediately hid her armour once more.

"PFT!" Shiro couldn’t hold back her laugh as the sight of Lyrica’s skirt being crumbled by a pair of armoured panties were hilarious in Shiro’s eyes.

"Of all the places it could have gone... Why is it over my skirt!!!!" Lyrica shouted out. The armoured panties could have gone under her skirt and she would have been fine. But no, it had to go on top of her skirt.

"Madi! You show your armour too!" Lyrica shouted pointing at Madison.

"Hahaha, alright. Give me a moment." Madison replied wanting to dispel her friend’s embarrassment.

However, when the armour appeared on her, it made her look cool when compared to Lyrica who was comedic.

"... Not fair..." Lyrica said, wanting to cry at the unfairness of the system.

"Shiro what about you!" Lyrica said turning her gaze over to Shiro.

Shiro only shrugged and decided to join in the fun.

However, when she revealed her amour, the party couldn’t help but mutter "Wow...".

The Black, red and silver armour paired up well with her outfit. The chest armour went over her black shirt but was under her white robes. The boots and leg armour, when combined with her stockings, highlighted her delicate thighs that could be seen between the gap of the leg armour and her short jeans.

As for the arm guards and shoulder guards, they appeared over her robes, making it look like a combat robe.

"Gah! Why is the system so unfair with me?" Lyrica muttered as she kneeled on the floor.

Shiro only chuckled as she looked down on her armour. She quite liked the look of it but still decided to hide the armour. She was fine with her current outfit, though she would prefer if she had Aarim’s help to re-dye the outfit so that blood wouldn’t be easily seen. Not to mention, redesigning the robe a little since she had a few more ideas for the outfit.

[Alright, joking aside, let’s enter the castle.] Shiro typed out as Lyrica stood up with seriousness.

Jonas’ party was shocked at how fast she had switched her attitude. It was like the past 5 minutes never happened at all.

Nodding at Lyrica’s seriousness, Shiro entered the castle with the party following behind her.
