Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 692 Killing the Hamoena

Watching the arrow travel through the air, Shiro watched as the Hamoena glanced towards her.

Before it could even cry out, the arrow suddenly exploded as hundreds of circuits stabbed themselves into the Hamoena’s body.

*URAHHHH!!!!

Thrashing around in pain, its body started to twist and reshape itself in an attempt to push the circuits off from its body.

However, the circuits were like thousands of tiny serpents that constantly chewed away at the soft flesh.

Understanding that its current form couldn’t fight against this strange being, the Hamoena paused for a second before solidifying its body.

Pushed back by the sudden appearance of a tough shell, the circuits stepped back for a moment before attacking with more enthusiasm.

Raising her eyebrow at this, Shiro drew back her bow and summoned another arrow.

This time, the circuits didn’t corrupt the arrow as it was just a normal arrow that she could summon.

’Could it be that the Error 403 can only release a certain amount of itself?’ Shiro wondered to herself.

Furrowing her brows, she tried to command the error to come back but it seemed to be adamant on eating through the hard shell of this giant slug before it.

Clicking her tongue, she figured that it was better to treat the error as a being of its own. Something akin to a disobedient Yin.

"Hmm... let it do what it wants for now. I’ll support it in killing this beast." Shiro muttered.

Summoning a few arrows, she notched them all at once and fired them towards the Hamoena.

*Clink! Clink! Clink!

Bouncing off of its tough shell, Shiro could see some white marks left behind by the arrow.

In addition to this, the Hamoena’s body seemed to have sunken down a little into the ground which shows how powerful the arrows were now that she had obtained her first divinity.

There was just one problem and that was the fact that the Hamoena has gone full defence mode and refused to expose even a small portion of its body.

Seeing this, the circuits were enraged. Forming a spear or sorts, it jammed it into the armour of the Hamoena and started to chip it little by little

Naturally, Shiro understood what the circuits wanted to do and fired arrows as support.

Soon, a small groove was formed as the circuits lunched forth with eagerness.

*CRACK! PUSHI!!!!

Stabbing the virus spear deep into its flesh, it used the edge of the armour as a leverage and started to rip the armour apart from the flesh. A sick tearing sound could be heard as the purple flesh tried its best to stick onto the shell but it was torn apart and black goo started to flow out like blood.

Shifting its shape into a drill, the circuits started to rampage around the Hamoena’s body while Shiro stood there awkwardly.

With how eager the error was being, she didn’t even have to lift a single finger.

After a short while, all of the armour had been peeled back and the Hamoena was now twitching constantly from the wounds it had suffered.

As for the circuits, it had returned to her side and bounced around the back of her hand as if asking for praise.

Sighing softly, Shiro used her spare hand to pat it gently.

"Good job." She praised with a soft smile.

Seemingly satisfied with this, the circuits twisted around for a little before disappearing.

[Error 403 energy – 0/100]

Raising her eyebrows, Shiro realised that this was the limit. The error had used everything to pry apart the Hamoena’s armour.

If she had to be honest, it would have been extremely hard for her to accomplish what the error had done since she had to take advantage of the openings that it showed. The fight would be much longer and tenacious if not for the error.

Landing on the ground, Shiro was about to walk up to the Hamoena when she felt danger all around her.

Not even taking a moment to say anything, she ducked down and used her bow as a protective tool.

Hearing the sound of wet flesh colliding against her bow, Shiro shifted her body and used the momentum to throw the flesh away.

Who knows what it might do if she let it stay.

Hopping back, she made some distance as a wave of dizziness hit her but it only lasted for a second.

"Tsk, it’s paralysing liquid." Shiro muttered with a frown.

While the error did indeed peel away all of the armour, it didn’t mean the Hamoena was dead.

It was just in a weakened state.

Looking up, Shiro watched as the barely moving slug monster could only resort to throwing out bits of its body as a last resort.

Just from this Shiro could already tell the severity of its current state.

’While it’s not as dangerous in terms of ripping out the source codes, this is still rather violent.’ She thought to herself.

Pulling back on her bow, she sent a few arrows towards the Hamoena.

*PUSHI PUSHI PUSHI!

Despite having the arrows sink into its body, the force was still enough to send it rolling back by quite a few meters.

Filling the Hamoena with arrows, Shiro’s sense for danger only increased which caused some concern in her.

However, this concern was soon answered.

*RUMBLE!!!!

An earthquake suddenly hit the area as the spots where the black goo had touched were now split apart.

*BANG!!!

Shooting out of the ground, hundreds of spider legs clawed against the fractured earth before dragging a dark shadow out of the depths. Its entire body was covered by the black goo while a few of its eyes were exposed to the sunlight.

". . .Did I say it did a good job? I think it might have made it a ’little’ harder for me." Shiro’s smile twitched as the butterflies on her shoulder only flickered for a moment.

[The longer we take to kill him, the more corrupted monsters will appear thanks to the black goo. We should kill it quickly.] Quella suggested as Shiro agreed.

Notching some arrows, she dashed towards the spider.

Jumping up, she shot some arrows into the joints before forcing it to kneel down.

Firing an arrow at the bottom so that she could force its leg away, she had the spider pierce the Hamoena through the body as the purple flesh writhed around in pain.

Unfurling her wings, she soared up into the sky, avoiding several of the spider’s legs which tried to grab her instantly.

Narrowly dodging by the side, she pulled back on her bow and gathered as much power as she could.

*BANG!!!!

Firing a powerful singular shot, she managed to shatter the spider’s leg and pin the Hamoena against the ground.

Shivering for a little longer, it stopped as its entire body relaxed. The purple flesh spewed out as if the thing holding it together had completely snapped apart.

"One." Shiro muttered before glaring at the spider.

Since the black goo could mutate more monsters like this, she had to take care of it quickly.

Releasing a heavy amount of killing intent, Shiro watched as the spider’s body tense up for a moment.

Landing near the corpse of the Hamoena, she grabbed the broken spider leg which thankfully wasn’t covered with black goo and notched it on her bow.

Pulling back, she fired the leg towards its main body as the sluggishness caused it to fail at dodging the leg.

Not even giving it a chance to scream, Shiro pierced all of the exposed eyes with her arrow.

Flying towards one of them, she stomped down as hard as she could and sent the arrow deep into their body.

Flipping her body back, she avoided the splash of black goo and continued to send arrows deep into its body. Thanks to her killing intent, she was able to restrain the spider’s movements, making it harder for it to dodge her arrows.

[Sometimes I wonder where you studied your fighting style since this rather... different when compared to our fighting style.] Quella chuckled.

"Who knows." Shiro shrugged while grabbing some proof from the Hamoena’s corpse.

Once she was done, she glanced around the spot and located where she was on the mental map.

"Let’s check out the border I suppose." Shiro muttered since she wanted to try her luck at getting another blessed weapon.

Putting the proof away in her bag, she unfurled her wings and started to fly through the air. Taking a deep breath, she was happy that she took Nike as her first divinity since this power of flight was very convenient and it helped her save time with travel. Had it not been for this, it might have been hard to catch up to the Hamoena much less stop it from entering the Section of the Underworld.

Seeing the dark clouds in the distance, Shiro felt a small shiver down her spine.

"Yikes, no wonder it’s called the Section of the Underworld. Just being near the border makes me feel uncomfortable." Shiro sighed while glancing towards the ground.

To her surprise, she saw a pair of mother and daughter being chased by some shrouded people.
