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

Chapter 732 Returning to Hellmouth Valley

After deciding on their next moves, the four of them had to wait around for a while just to make sure that there were nothing else that they need to do before attempting to leave.

However, just as they left the building, a voice called out to them and it was Astryn the second sister.

"I apologise about the conduct of some of my younger sisters. Just know that you obtaining more than one primordial divinity is a great boon for us all. You are not required to tell them the skip since heroes of the past could do it without. Even if the time is short, this kind of power is supposed to be done by yourself so that there is meaning to your efforts. For Ouranos, it’s the dedication to reach the top even without the power of flight. For Nyx it’s the will to fight her champion for her blessing. These skips are put in place for those that wished to take the hard and short route so that there is still a test to temper and make sure that they’re suitable for the divinity. Therefore, if telling the man about the skip defeats its purpose, you should not say a single word." Astryn smiled as Shiro chuckled.

"Mn of course. I’m surprised that you’ve come to see us off though. If you’re worried about conflict between us while we’re going for the divinities, don’t worry I’ll try not to provoke them." Shiro grinned.

"That’s reassuring but I’ve come for a different purpose." Astryn shook her head before reaching to her bag and retrieving a small jewel of sorts.

"I had noticed that you were a spirit and since you have obtained two primordial divinities, I figured that the past Spirit Queen would have most likely wanted you to have this." She said while handing Shiro the jewel.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro could see a swirl of energy within the jewel but no system notification rang out which confused her.

The jewel itself was green in colour and the energy was that of a cold ice blue which swirled around slowly within the jewel.

"What is this?" Shiro asked curiously.

"I’m not sure but the Spirit Queen said that it’ll assist a spirit in the future who will obtain two primordial divinities and more." Astryn smiled.

"Was there possibly a chance that she could see the future?" Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Perhaps. Much like us, you spirits awaken different kinds of powers. Her power might have been in relation to the future." Astryn chuckled.

"Mn true. In that case then thank you for giving me this I suppose." Shiro said while storing her jewel away.

"You’re welcome. I wish you luck in your next ventures and hope that you may obtain more divinities." Astryn bowed slightly as she watched the four leave.

"Can I have a look at the jewel?" Quella asked as she was curious about what it looked like.

"Sure. Though I’m a bit surprised that your sister had something the Spirit Queen owned." Shiro said while handing her the jewel.

"Is it really that surprising? We had a decent relationship with the spirits until the whole thing about the Ancient Terror entering their world which caused them to be reclusive so it would make sense that big sis Astryn got something from the queen. Do you think the queen foresaw this hence why she didn’t give big sis Syrune the jewel?" Quella asked as her voice sounded a little sad.

"Don’t think about it much. We’re not sure if it’s actually Syrune just yet." Beril frowned as Quella nodded her head.

After spending a moment to examine the jewel, Quella handed it back.

"Any clues?"

"Unfortunately no. I haven’t read anything like this in the books." Quella shook her head.

"Should I give it a try? My eyes might be able to tell me some information about them." Beril asked since she was also able to confirm that the seed was from Gaia’s tower when Shiro handed it to her.

"Go for it." Shiro nodded.

Holding the jewel in front of her, Beril’s eyes started to glow with a slight golden hue as she furrowed her brows.

"What the hell did big sis give you." Beril muttered.

"You know what it is?" Shiro asked curiously.

"Kind of. You see, inside this jewel is a concentrated mass of energy that has a similar feel to the primordial divinities but at the same time different?" Beril furrowed her brows.

"So I’m guessing it’s like a divinity that gives no skill?"

"I suppose that’s an adept description of this." Beril nodded.

"Mn I see. We’ll let’s set that aside for now. I’ll be going to Hellmouth Valley and seeing if there’s anything hidden on top of the mountain since a dragon was guarding it. Should I keep one of your familiars on me so that you can tell me where the other weapons are?" Shiro asked as she turned to Quella.

"Sure give me a second." Quella nodded her head.

Summoning a butterfly, she handed it over to Shiro.

Talking to the three for a little longer, she eventually flew towards the Section of the Underworld where the Hellmouth Valley was located. Last time she had aimed for the ravine since the chains were there but now she’s aiming for the creepy mountain with tens of large shadows looming around which look like they could erase her with a sneeze. Naturally, she now had two primordial divinities on her side along with her true spirit nature to help out if anything goes south.

Upon arrival, Shiro immediately flew above the clouds from a distance away in an attempt to see what kind of monsters she was going up against but the only thing she could see once she was past the clouds were large serpentine bodies weaving through the clouds.

While it may seem like an easy way to get to the top of the mountains that she could see, Shiro understood that she’d be surrounded on all sides should she go in right now.

Thinking about it for a moment, she decided to test out the waters a little.

Summoning her bow, she notched an arrow and pulled back as hard as she could.

*BANG!!!

Letting go of the arrow with an enchantment of petrification, Shiro watched as it soared towards the top of the mountains.

’Looks like they don’t react to a-’ Before she could even finish her thought, a giant monster leapt out of the clouds and hit the arrow aside. There were some hints of petrification but the monster only bit off the piece of his body that was petrified and regenerated the missing flesh quickly.

The monster itself had a long serpentine like body with no limbs apart from two pairs of wings and tentacles that protruded from its body.

Neon green eyes stretched along the side of his body as his head looked like the tip of an arrow.

The inside of his mouth was also neon green in colour and hundreds of teeth could be seen decorating the inside of his mouth.

Seeing that the monster brushed off her arrow with such ease and managed to regenerate the damage quickly, Shiro was having a few second thoughts about charging in since there are more monsters than this.

Furrowing her brows, she was wondering about how she should go about this when she watched the large serpentine like monster unhinge its jaw and look towards her.

Tilting her head for a moment, Shiro widened her eyes and immediately dived down into the clouds.

*BOOM!!!!!!

Firing a beam of green energy, the breath attack cut a line through the clouds before the monster reared its head back and sent the attack up in the sky.

Closing its mouth, the monster returned back to the sea of clouds.

Looking towards the section of sky that had one of the floating islands touched by this attack, Shiro could see if being corroded away into nothingness as cold sweat was dripping down her back.

"Holy sh*t..." She muttered as the attack was much more powerful than what she had anticipated.

Thankfully, the monster could be seen charging it up so dodging was somewhat easy.

’Since there are powerful monsters like this guarding the top of this mountain, there has to be a treasure up there.’ She thought to herself as she debated on whether or not she should venture fourth or not.

Biting her lips, she decided to bait out a few of the monsters first so that she could see if they’re just as powerful as the serpent monster. If they were, she’d give up. If they’re not, there could be a chance for her to obtain the treasure.
