Waiting in their spot while continuing to release their aura without restrain as a warning, s.h.i.+ro kept a neutral expression and looked at the newcomers.

Three women, all with white hair and a cold expression looked at her from afar.

While none of them were named monsters, s.h.i.+ro knew that they were intelligent.

"One… no, two irregulars have invaded our domain." The first woman said while narrowing her eyes at the two of them.

"Holy element. She is an angel type. As for the other woman, it seems like she was part of our race at one point. She's killed a snow girl." The second followed up.

"She isn't the same as us but why does her name suggest so?" The third snow woman asked while tilting her head.

"You three are?" s.h.i.+ro called out to the three of them.

"You don't need to know of our ident.i.ties as we are naught but one of many. Since you have invaded our domain, the queen seeks out a meeting with you who blatantly display her feeble power in spite of knowing that this is our domain." The first replied while coming closer to her.

"Hou~ Feeble power huh? Wouldn't you want to see what kind of feeble power I hold up close and personal ah?" s.h.i.+ro asked as her eyes glowed menacingly.

To think a few nameless b*tches had the gall to call her weak, s.h.i.+ro really wanted to pry open their brains and see if they could even think logically. To make things worse, it wasn't a metaphor.

"What kind of idiot would gloat about being able to kill weaklings? You may surpa.s.s us but it is still a fact that you're inferior to our queen. Though I suppose you do have our respect for being able to kill a 'sibling' while you were still part of our race. Come with us, the queen hates to be delayed."

*PUCHI!

Feeling one of her veins bulge in anger, s.h.i.+ro's killing intent soared as her hand's were itching to kill the three of these f*ckers.

"You know what? Die." s.h.i.+ro said with a smile.

Flexing her fingers, three ice spikes shot out of the ground and instantly skewered the three snow women. Raising them up high into the sky, she balled her hand into a fist as the spear expanded and ripped their corpses apart.

"Fu…." Breathing out heavily, s.h.i.+ro looked up at the sky.

"Welp that's the end of that." She said with a smile.

However, just as she said this, her smile faltered and turned into a frown.

"You know, c.o.c.kroaches should just stay dead instead of continuing to move like this." She warned with a low voice.

Looking in front of her, the three snow women were still alive albeit some injuries along their arms.

"To attack us so suddenly. As expected of one who trusts in her power too much. Should you displease the queen, the meeting will turn into a bloodshed. If you delay for too long, she'll come looking for you and when that happens, your life will be forfeit." The snow woman warned while trying to heal her injured arm.

"Lisa." s.h.i.+ro called out.

"Yes mum?"

"What do you think about studying torture with mommy?" s.h.i.+ro asked with a 'sweet' smile.

"I think that's a rather weird but splendid family activity. Though it's a shame big sis isn't here to torch them with her fire." Lisandra chuckled while pulling out her swords. Activating her elemental armour, her aura flared as she too was p.i.s.sed about the snow women looking down on s.h.i.+ro like that.

With two people releasing their aura at full, the blizzard was scattered apart as the surrounding adventurers paled from fright.

As for the observing team that the guild had deployed to monitor the situation, they were shocked to see two colossal mana signatures flaring not too far from the entrance of Mount Fuji.

Realising that this amount of mana was very resemblant of two dungeon bosses, they quickly sent a message to all surrounding adventurers and warned them of a chance of infighting between the monsters.

Ignoring the commotion that was happening around them, s.h.i.+ro looked at the three snow women in front of her. She wasn't here to be discreet from the beginning so it doesn't matter who comes.

Of course, she wasn't arrogant enough to fight the queen since she sounds like she's within the mid to high ranks of B cla.s.s. A being like that wasn't something she could face against right now.

However, having two monsters look down on her wasn't a good feeling either so she'll eliminate the three of them this instant.

'The skill they used to dodge that last attack must have been an illusion type skill like my Fae Illusions. However, it doesn't make them invulnerable. Let's give this Spirit a.s.sistance skill a try while Lisandra takes them on. Though she may need some help so I suppose giving Lisa my experimental armour shouldn't be too bad.' s.h.i.+ro thought with a smile.

Giving Lisandra a side glance, s.h.i.+ro nodded her head and threw her a nanochip.

Catching it, Lisandra pressed the b.u.t.ton on the top as a ma.s.s of nan.o.bots swarmed over her body.

Lightning and fire flickered around her before settling down as a set of mechanised armour.

[Unnamed Nanotech Armament]

A conceptual piece of armour that was thought up by the ent.i.ty - s.h.i.+ro, after taking inspiration from the Nan.o.bot Research volumes. Mixed with the attunements; Stygian Steel, Apocalyptic Lighting and Star, the armour is powerful yet volatile. Should the balance tilt to either side, the armour may collapse.

While this armour was still in its conceptual stages, she had run enough tests in her mind to ensure that it will suffice for a few minutes at least. Though if anything goes wrong, she had made sure to install a fail safe that would make it so that the armour forcefully detaches from Lisandra before flying as far away as possible.

"This armour should enhance your performance." s.h.i.+ro said before concentrating on making her own spell.

Since there is a huge body of Ice Spirits in this area, her ice spells would be heavily empowered with the help of Spirit a.s.sistance.

Nodding her head, Lisandra took a deep breath before charging towards the trio.

Suddenly, nanotech thrusters were created behind her as her body was propelled forward at a speed much faster than what she had experienced with the motorbike.

Widening her eyes, Lisandra brandished her sword and tried to strike at the Snow Women before she flew past them.

A layer of nanotech wrapped around her sword as Lightning and Star element coagulated along the edge of the blade, leaving a black, red and gold trail of energy behind the swing.

*PUs.h.i.+!!!!!

Before the Snow Woman could even react, one of their companions had been cut in half by the sword.

"!!!" Widening her eyes, the first snow woman didn't expect that they would be dealt with so easily. While she knew that the two were superior to them despite only being level 100, she had thought that they could at least deal some damage and do something with their deaths. However, at the rate of how things are developing, they wouldn't even be able to scratch the duo before dying a worthless death.

"Aiya~ Seems like I won't even need to use my spell." s.h.i.+ro chuckled while stopping the formation of her spell.

Activating a.n.a.lysis, she observed the internal working of the nanotech armour. Using the concepts of Reinforcement from volume 1 and Adjustment from volume 2, she tried to make it so that the armour could react to the user's actions without her having to manually control it.

So far, it had been successful since the armour created thrusters and had even deployed her the use of her attunements on the blade with a single scan of Lisandra's movements.

'The armour is holding up quite well but with one deployment of the components that she needed, it has broken the retracting function so the parts can't be recycled into other components without a new supply of nan.o.bots from me. Not only that, but the usage of my attunements has completely fried the nan.o.bots on the blade and they've already crumbled to dust.' s.h.i.+ro mused to herself.

Of course, to make sure that her armour couldn't be discovered by anyone else, she had already applied Fae Illusions to the surroundings so that anyone looking would only see the two of them next to three corpses.

Meanwhile, Lisandra had discovered the fault of the armour and realised that parts of it were breaking and crumbling with a single use.

'Hmm… I can probably kill one more and take the third one alive for torture and interrogation.'

Readying her second sword, she twisted her body and slashed towards another snow woman.

While this was happening, the first snow woman that had provoked s.h.i.+ro panicked and tried to run away. A worthless death wasn't something she wanted. No, if she was going to die, she wanted to make sure that it was worth something.

However, before she could run, a blade pierced her body before expanding into a skin tight cage that pushed her against the ground. Despite her using her mana, she noticed that it was cancelled before a spell could even form.

"Now then, why don't we have you spill out everything you know?" s.h.i.+ro smiled while holding a dagger.
