Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 1056 First Origin Spell

Now that Chronos had left, Shiro laid on her back and looked at the ceiling of the training hall.

"Hais.... The drain of this move is a little ludicrous. I get that it’s supposed to be something limited to gods and my method is pushing the boundaries but draining me completely dry of a mana is a little over the top now isn’t it?" Shiro asked as Nan Tian chuckled.

"Perhaps. But where else have you seen anyone else accomplish the same as you have this early?" Nan Tian asked as Shiro sat up.

"Surprisingly, I have. There was this guy in one of the dungeons. A guy named Bonne, he was able to stop time and save me from one of the stronger monsters inside." Shiro replied.

"Oh? That’s a surprise." Nan Tian raised an eyebrow since he didn’t think anyone else could use time like Shiro does at this stage.

Talking for a little longer, Shiro glanced over at her system since she had received notification when she completed the skill.

[New Origin Skill Created.]

You are able to delay time to a near halt for a short period of time. You can also pin them to the ’present’ causing them to become the ’past’ The effects of this vary depending on their resistances.

Cost: 25% of Divine Energy + 80% of mana (Can be changed depending on capacity of divine energy.)

Duration: 2 seconds. Can be extended but cost increases substantially.

Cooldown: 15 seconds.

[Would you like to name your skill?]

Reading the skill description, Shiro raised an eyebrow.

"Even with my mana regeneration, I can only cast this skill 5 times a day thanks to how much divine energy I have and the divine energy regen. But setting that aside for now, Nan Tian, do you have an idea on what to call this?" Shiro asked as Nan Tian scratched his head for a moment.

"Maybe something like Chronos Shift? I don’t know since you won’t be shouting it out during battle now would you?" Nan Tian replied as Shiro shrugged.

Well it’s just something that’s good for me to keep track of in my mind. If I want to cast this spell without the system, I would need to have a firm image of it in my mind. A good way for that is to classify the skill under a good name so the moment I want to use it, I can find the spell immediately." Shiro explained as Nan Tian tapped his chin.

"Why don’t we just call it something simple then. A single word rather than two." Nan Tian suggested as Shiro nodded her head.

"Sure that might be good. What about-" Before she could even finish her sentence, she watched as the system screen flickered.

[User took too long to choose.]

[Skill – Time Flux – Added to your skill list.]

".. ." Staring at the system screen with a blank expression, Shiro felt like she wanted to grab it like a table and slam it on the ground.

’I was about to come up with a name for it!’ She shouted in her mind as Time Flux was now added to her skill list.

Now there was a new section on her status that displayed her new skill under the category of Origin Spells.

"Is there something wrong?" Nan Tian asked as he noticed her expression change several times before stopping at fatigue.

"Yeah just that the system decided to name it Time Flux before I could have my say in it." Shiro shook her head.

"But let’s ignore that for now. Let’s see how this skill works after being recognised by the system."

Summoning her sword, golden runes appeared on the blade as Shiro activated Time Flux.

The runes in her eyes flickered as the time strands revealed themselves in front of her. Similar to last time, a pulse of energy expanded out as Shiro could see that Nan Tian stopped mid movement.

Walking up to him, she started to move his body around.

Understanding that she only had a two second window, she quickly moved back to her spot.

Once the time limit was reached, the pulse of energy retracted itself.

"Hm?!" Stumbling a little, Nan Tian could feel Shiro adjusting his body in that split moment.

"I’ll be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that you had shifted my position, I would have thought that everything was just a hallucination." Nan Tian muttered.

"Wait, you could feel what I did to you?" Shiro asked in surprise as he nodded.

"Yes but it happened in an instant. It was like a snap of a finger then it disappeared.

"Hmm... Interesting..." Shiro tapped her chin.

She doubted that she could use it for torture since it’ll take too long to register the pain. She’d rather torture them slowly and let them feel each moment with clarity than it being over in a flash.

Of course, this method was also pretty good if she wanted to mess with one of the Queens.

Every time they blink, they could lose a limb before finally being killed.

Discussing some of the possibilities for a while, the two of them made their way towards the food hall since they’ve been sparring for a while now.

Enjoying the food slowly, Shiro wondered what else she wanted to do for the rest of the day.

Since they were taking the day off, she didn’t need to worry about attacking or fighting in skirmishes.

She wasn’t in the mood to play a flute or discover more juices to make.

To put it bluntly, Shiro felt bored now that she had completed her goal of pausing time.

"What’s up?" Nan Tian asked, seeing Shiro being silent.

"Just wondering about what to do. I had figured that I might use the whole day for this skill so I didn’t exactly plan anything. What do most people do in their spare time?" Shiro asked curiously as Nan Tian thought about it for a moment.

"They mostly browse the net, play with friends, be lazy or do whatever comes to mind. If you want a break just do whatever you want, it doesn’t have to be productive." Nan Tian shrugged.

"Hmm.... I kind of just feel lazy then. Maybe I should slack." Shiro muttered.

"That might be the call. You’ve been stressed out for a while now with things happening left and right. Perhaps it’s a good time for you to just relax for the day.

"But I don’t want to just sleep it off. Feels like a waste." Shiro pouted as she stabbed her fork against the meat repeatedly.

"In that case then do you want to see what everyone else is doing?"

"Hmm sure. I am curious as to what Attie and Yin are doing since those two are like two peas in a pod right now." Shiro chuckled as she quickly finished the rest of her meal.

Sending out her senses, it was quite easy for her to discover where the two of them are. They were both in the main building of the food hall that Yin had created and it seemed like there was an event of sorts happening. Both Yin and Attie were surrounded by a group of people and they were in the centre.

Disguising themselves as to not draw attention for now, Shiro and Nan Tian entered the building only to witness the sight of a whole hall of people cheering.

"Big sis, today I will defeat you." Atesh narrowed his eyes as Yin only smirked.

"Who do you think I am? Do you really think you can challenge me in this area of expertise? Let me tell you, in this entire city, there is no one, and I mean NO ONE, that can defeat me when it comes to this." Yin grinned.

Hearing this, Shiro figured that they were probably competing who’s fire was better. Seeing how many people were around, Shiro felt a headache since it could be horrible should things go south. Just as she walked up closer, she paused in disbelief as she should have expected something like this.

Sitting around a giant table, both Attie and Yin were surrounded by food as Attie seemed a little pale. Empty plates littered around him as he was currently trash talking his big sis while trying to eat another plate of food.

As for Yin, she was doing the same only this time she was much more relaxed. Her eating habits were both.... Graceful yet completely disgusting to Shiro.

Each time Yin reached out for a plate, it would be emptied in an instant. No crumb would be left but Shiro could see everything that happened clearly. Yin would clean that plate as if she was a hoover, no, even better than a hoover since a hoover would leave some traces of food.

"Is this how she spends her free time???" Shiro asked in disbelief as Nan Tian laughed.

"It would seem so."

Seeing Attie raise a white flag for surrender, Shiro watched as Yin jumped on the table before shouting.

"I am the food Queen! Devourer of delicacies. Naïve brother of mine, realise your foolishness in challenging me!!!"

".. . Let me smack some sense into that bird."
