Chapter 878 - 'Immortal' Beasts

Gritting her teeth, she gave up on defence completely.

If the copy of Silvanis retained its properties, then there was no point increasing the amount of defence she had since it'll be ignored regardless. Doing so would only decrease her chances of counter attacking.

Slamming her hand down, a giant tier 5 magic circle expanded out as a blizzard appeared. A thin layer of ice could be seen forming on the beast's body but its movements were not hindered. It was as if the ice fused with its skin and became 'soft' rather than rigid.

'What the hell are these freaks?!' Shiro complained in her mind while activating Eyes of the Gorgon.

If ice didn't work, then hopefully petrification will.

Once again, the same situation occurred as they were unharmed. A layer of petrification now acted as a layer of armour for them.

'F*ck!'

Using the footwork from Phantom path, Shiro tried her best to avoid getting surrounded since she would definitely die if her escape is cut off.

Jumping into the rift, she teleported a short distance before sensing danger from the ranged beasts.

With no time to reactivate her rift, she had no choice but to try minimise the damage she took.

*BANG!!!!

Evading as best she could, her right arm and a portion of her torso was blown off completely as she activated a charge of grace to regenerate instantly.

{Let us come out and help!} Nimue shouted out since letting Shiro deal with everything alone put extra pressure on her right now.

'No! Even if you come out you won't be able to damage them. Plus, you don't have regenerative skills like I do, one shot or one slice from that sword and you're dead!' Shiro replied as Nimue gritted her teeth.

Every element they tried to use against the beast turned into a force of armour so magic seemed to be out of the question. Weapons were useless as well except for her bullets which chipped their armour slightly.

{Let me help then, I'm the same level as them and my element should be ok.} Estrella offered since she doubts they can make armour from space.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro nodded her head.

'Be careful then since I only have a limited supply of grace.' Shiro warned as Estrella nodded her head.

Slamming her hand down, a portal opened up as Estrella appeared.

Clasping her hands together, a tier 5 magic circle appeared as Shiro noticed that it was flickering between tier 6 and 5.

'Seems like she's making good progress.' Shiro thought with a smile.

Suddenly, portals opened up beneath every single beast as they lost their footing, including the ones in the pillar.

Snapping her finger, she sealed up the portals.

Just as she did this, her eyes became bloodshot.

*PING!!!

Forcing the portals open, the beasts clawed their way out with increased hostility.

"What the hell are these monsters!?" Estrella squeezed out as she stopped herself from collapsing from the backlash.

Quickly healing her with life fire, Shiro furrowed her brows.

'Why does the bullet work but everything else doesn't? How did Isilia get past this stage and get to the next which erased her memory?' Shiro thought to herself as she quickly teleported out of there through the rift with Estrella beside her.

"Let's run for now and figure out what's happening later." Shiro said as Estrella agreed.

However, before they could say anything else, Shiro watched as a sword suddenly appeared in the rift and slash towards her neck.

Widening her eyes, she bent her body back and narrowly dodged the sword that almost cut her head off.

Looking at the sword which cut a hole in her rift, Shiro couldn't believe that hitting them with things related to space or dimensions actually allowed them to breach into the rift.

"Estrella!" Shiro called out as the two of them jumped out of the rift.

Pushing out her hands, Estrella released a pulse of energy which sent the beasts stumbling back a little to give them some space.

"Their adaptability is a little too crazy!" Shiro shouted out in annoyance as she decided to summon a shotgun and jam the barrel into the mouth of one of the beasts.

Pulling the trigger without hesitation, Shiro watched as blood poured out of its mouth but it wasn't dead.

Jumping back before she was cut in half, Shiro slammed her hand down and activated a tier 5 magic circle.

The earth beneath their feet started to shift as pillars erupted out of the ground and launched the beasts away from them.

Wiping the sweat from her head, Shiro forced a smile.

"I know I always go on about fighting something strong and that can force me back but this is a bit too ridiculous. It's not fun when you can't even damage them." Shiro muttered as Estrella nodded her head.

She was holding her own against a few beasts but things weren't looking good.

Just as she locked one down, she watched as a gun barrel protrude from its chest.

Widening her eyes, Estrella wanted to leave through a portal but a spray of pellets embedded themselves into her body.

*COUGH!

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Estrella stumbled back as blood poured out of her body.

"Che, they even copied my shotgun huh? They seemed to be linked as well, harming one would transfer the information to the others which means that all of them can manifest shotguns." Shiro clicked her tongue and healed up Estrella using life fire.

"Sorry, I'm not helping much." Estrella frowned as Shiro shook her head.

"It's fine, you're reducing the pressure that I feel. But this enemy is rather annoying, aren't they? It's almost like they're immortal. The damage we do to them will heal quickly.

Fighting off the wave of beasts for a little longer, Shiro was forced to return Estrella to the mana realm since she couldn't hold on any longer.

Substituting her with Nimue and Iziuel, the three of them could only try their best to run away and lose the monsters if possible but the chances were low.

"I think we've overestimated ourselves a little with this." Shiro sighed while dodging the bullets from a ranged best.

"Really makes you wonder how Isilia survived huh?" Nimue replied since Isilia was able to escape this dungeon.

Waving her hand, she was barely able to slow them down a little by making some quicksand beneath their feet. Unfortunately, their physical prowess rendered this useless as it was nothing more than just a small hindrance.

"Indeed. So far, only nanobots have worked on these guys but the more I damage them, the more powerful they become. I'm not even sure my most powerful weapons can wipe them out in one go." Shiro sighed.

Fighting these creatures was hard since she had to be careful of what she used since it'll be used against them.

It was akin to stabbing someone then handing them a knife to make things fair. What she used, they could use as well. Magic included.

Combined with their ridiculous healing and numbers which seemed to grow, the fight looked hopeless.

However, halfway through the fight, Shiro noticed a small change in crowd as the ones near the edge seemed to be unsettled.

Raising her eyebrow, she jumped into the sky and focused her attention towards the nervous beasts since she needed to find out the cause of this nervousness. If it is a means of killing them, it would be helpful.

Unfortunately, the source of this unease was another beast but it was much taller and thinner compared to the normal beasts. It walked on two legs and had ice white armour around its body.

Looking up at Shiro, its hand morphed into a blade as Shiro immediately felt danger.

She wasn't even able to move her own body when the beast appeared before her with the sword embedded into her neck.

"Shiro!" Shouting out in panic, Nimue's eyes were wide with fear as the white armoured beast was about to twist the blade and remove Shiro's head from her body.

Just as this was about to happen, the scene seemed to be paused as it gave Shiro enough time to heal herself with Miracle, the skill she copied from Aekari instead of Grace since its healing powers were stronger.

Angelic wings appeared behind her as it embraced Shiro's body, healing all of the wounds in an instant and forcing the beast back.

"Quickly! Jump in the portal before the spell ends!" A voice shouted out as a portal opened up behind Shiro.

Understanding that this was help, Shiro sent Nimue and Iziuel back to the mana realm before jumping into the portal.

Once the portal disappeared, time seemed to resume as the white armoured beast narrowed its eyes and frowned.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/nanomancer-reborn---i've-become-a-snow-girl_14064812306272705/'immortal'-beasts_50934523801688561 for visiting.

Looking at the common beasts that were confused at where their prey had disappeared to, it clicked its tongue before leaving the area.
