Chapter 91 Giant's Heart P3

The second part of the dungeon required her to dodge the attacks of snipers. However, that was easily avoided with her Rift Walker skill.

Dashing through the long corridor with ease, Shiro looked around for the boss.

'Hmm… Since this dungeon is in the shape of the heart, I should be reaching the second chamber soon.' Exiting the rift, Shiro slid on the ground for a short moment to dodge 2 stone spears sent out by the snipers.

Making two spears herself, Shiro sent them flying towards the two snipers.

Immediately continuing down the corridor, she found the doorway that leads into the second chamber.

"Finally." Shiro muttered.

However, the moment she entered the room, she felt a strong sense of dread.

Her first instinct was to use the rift walker skill but it was still on cooldown. Without delay, Shiro swiped her hand down as a nanotech shield formed in front of her.

*BOOM!!!!

A beam of energy collided with the shield, almost piercing it in one go.

Gritting her teeth, Shiro twisted her body and dodged out from behind the shield. Luckily for her, she managed to dodge just before the shield crumbled away.

Rolling on the ground, Shiro looked up at the boss.

[Cruel Mechanised Giant – LVL 40 BOSS]

HP: 500,000/500,000

MP: 980,000/1,000,000

The boss had a humanoid lower body but lacked a torso and had no arms or head. Instead, in place of the torso, a shiny blue core that was protected by a translucent barrier could be seen while several black metallic angel wings floated around the core.

Seeing that Shiro had avoided its attack, the boss shifted its body, controlling a few angel wings to before torso armour to protect the core.

'So the core is the main weak point. Since the wings are floating, it means the joints can't be abused.' Shiro analysed immediately.

"Little Yin! Give me support and avoid drawing aggro." Shiro commanded as she flipped back onto her feet in time to avoid a few lightning bullets the boss had shot towards her.

*Chirp!

Responding to Shiro's command, Yin flew upwards and used Ice Chain to try to hold the boss down for a moment while Shiro recovers.

*PING!

The ice chains shattered immediately upon contact.

'High resistance to control type skills.' Shiro frowned as she kept her body low whilst running around the boss.

Flexing her fingers, four ice daggers appeared in her hands.

She pivoted on her left foot and threw the daggers without decreasing her speed too much.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Each of the daggers was infused with lightning to increase the damage potential. But Shiro only frowned when she saw the daggers deal minimal damage.

Seeing that her daggers didn't work as well as she hoped, Shiro sent her killing intent out at full power.

The moment she stepped down with her foot, ice spread outwards as it rapidly transformed the boss room into an ice chamber.

Aiming her hand at the boss, Shiro clenched her fist, causing the surrounding mana to go berserk.

*BOOM!!!!!

Tens of ice pillars shot out from every direction and slammed against the boss's body.

Shiro's frown deepened when she saw the angel wings protect the boss.

'Seems like level 40 is pushing it a little. But, it's not impossible.' Shiro thought to herself. While the defence was a little tough, it should be possible for her to fight it in a battle of attrition.

Moreover, unlike the previous boss, once this boss reaches 1HP, Shiro guessed that the mana barrier protecting core would be destroyed. Even if it wasn't destroyed, it should still be within her limits to kill the boss.

The boss's wings trembled for a short moment before bursting out with explosive power.

*BANG!

Breaking apart the ice pillars, the torso of the boss opened up once more as the core was visible.

Feeling the mana stir, Shiro knew the beam attack was being charged up once more.

Normally, the best thing to do would be to stop the boss from charging. But right now, Shiro wasn't able to output that kind of power with her current arsenal.

Shifting her feet slightly, a pair of nanotech boots were formed.

*BOOM!!!!

Shiro had dashed to her right the moment the beam shot out of the core. Pushing the rockets on her boots to their maximum output, Shiro made sure to insert more mana in order to outrun the death laser that was currently trailing behind her.

Once she saw the laser falter, she knew the attack was about to end.

She dismissed the boots and dashed forward with her physical power.

A single gauntlet and javelin formed on her right hand as Shiro twisted her body.

Yin Style Phantom Art: 3rd Phantom – Counter Weight Phantom.

The rockets activated with a violent burst of power.

"HAA!"

Throwing the javelin with all her power, she attempted to strike the core before the wings close up and protect it once more.

*BANG!

However, her javelin was just a little short as the wings clamped down on the javelin and snapped it in half.

Frowning at this, Shiro dismissed her gauntlet and glanced at her remaining MP.

[MP: 143,500/170,500]

'Hmm, I've already used almost 30k of my MP.' Shiro thought with a frown.

Comparing the damage she caused with her MP consumption, Shiro felt a headache coming as it was most likely going to be another prolonged fight like the last boss.

This time it was worse since the defence of this boss was much higher than the rock giant.

'Since Nanomancer takes too much MP from me right now, especially with my broken mana links, I should try fight it out with my Snow Girl class. Plus, with my passives, I should be able to reduce my MP consumption by a large margin.` Shiro thought as she started to feel frustrated about her mana links once more.

Shaking her head, Shiro stopped complaining mentally and focused on killing the boss.

###

40 minutes. It took Shiro 40 minutes to finally get the boss down to 1HP. During the fight, she wasn't able to deal any substantial damage, so she could only rely on her passive and slowly whittle down the boss.

Cold Aura, Icy Touch and Ice Field Affinity played the biggest part in the fight. Cold Aura and Icy Touch helped reduce the MP consumption while Ice Field Affinity helps her regenerate some MP and HP over time since she had
