Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 774 Veila, Queen of the Phantoms

"So are these all the people that you can find?" Shiro asked with a frown since they only brought two people with them.

Gritting their teeth, they could only nod.

Staying silent, Shiro took a deep breath as she summoned the lantern once more.

"Oi, Ancient Terror." Shiro called out coldly.

Hearing nothing back, Shiro narrowed her eyes and snapped her finger.

Flickering with a green light, the lantern started to shake.

"ARGGGG!!!"

Hearing a cry of pain, the group were surprised.

Snapping her finger once more, Shiro stopped the light.

"Are you going to talk now?" She asked coldly.

"Fine fine you sadistic woman." The voice squeezed out as Shiro nodded her head.

"You should have two companions that have just joined you in there. I don’t care if you kill them, consume them or whatever, make sure they die as painfully as possible." Shiro ordered.

"HAHAHA and what makes you think that I will follow your will?" The ancient terror laughed.

"Because staying in the lantern not doing anything is pretty boring no? Why don’t you entertain yourself with the souls I retrieve." Shiro smirked.

Considering her proposal for a moment, a burst of laughter could be heard.

"Sure. Torturing these fools should bring me some enjoyment. But if I get bored I won’t do it anymore."

"Up to you."

Snapping her finger, several runes appeared on the surface of the lantern as she removed the barrier between the ancient terror and the two guards’ souls.

Closing one of her eyes, she could see the Ancient Terror’s twisted smile as he looked at the two guards with sadistic intent.

Unsummoning the lantern, Shiro saw the elders were rather confused as to what that was. Naturally, Nan Tian was the same.

"Just a monster that I have captured. He’ll torture the souls of the guards that helped the queen capture you guys. Unlike the ones that have passed on, the guards won’t be reincarnated." Shiro waved her hand nonchalantly.

Hearing this, one of the elders that had been imprisoned broke into tears as he kneeled and bowed towards her.

"Thank you, your highness!" He cried out as he watched his friends die to the guards and he could do nothing. The fact that the guards will have their souls tortured and pushed out of reincarnation made him happy inside as they suffered a fate worse than the spirits that have passed on thanks to their attacks.

He could still remember their arrogant appearances and smug smiles while harassing them with attacks, forcing them to run. Those that didn’t were killed.

His only regret was that he couldn’t kill them himself but this was good enough.

"Mn anyways enough talk for now. Let’s return to the capital. We have more important matters."

{Don’t forget to look at the anchor before you leave Shiro.} Nimue reminded as Shiro nodded her head since that had slipped her thoughts.

"Actually, Nan Tian you take them back to the capital. I’m going to check out the anchor quickly." Shiro said as Nan Tian nodded his head.

"Are there any more tier 6 individuals?" He asked just in case.

Sending out her energy since her senses were better than Nan Tian’s, Shiro shook her head.

"There were only two large sources of energy. The rest are all tier 5."

"Then they can’t harm you. Do you need any life saving items just in case?" Nan Tian asked.

"I’ll be fine. Just help me take them back ok?" Shiro smiled.

Nodding his head, Nan Tian escorted the group back while Shiro flew towards the largest building where she sensed the signature resembling that of an anchor.

Slashing through the edges of the room with ease, she landed softly and looked at the glowing piece of crystal that had dimmed quite substantially.

"You’re still here aren’t you Limra." Shiro called out with coldness in her voice.

"If you don’t respond, I’ll shatter this anchor. What I killed was an avatar that you spent quite some effort in." She warned.

"I’m here!" Limra’s voice rang out but it was weak.

"What do you want with me?" She asked as there was fear in her voice. Almost as she was a child who was scared of an angry parent.

"I want to know about the power of the Veila who had suppressed my spirit race."

"You want to k- You’re the new spirit queen!" Limra called out in surprise as Shiro nodded her head.

"Now tell me about Veila. It was her that dragged you into this mess anyways."

"Nev-"

*BANG!!!

Before Limra could say never, Shiro slammed her fist against the anchor as it dimmed down some more after a few pieces were chipped off the structure.

"Think twice before you answer. I don’t care about whether or not you give me information since I’ll figure it out eventually when I kill her as well." Shiro threatened.

Quickly explaining all she knew, which wasn’t much since Limra didn’t fight against Veila, Shiro shattered the anchor without hesitation much to Limra’s shock.

Looking at the shattered crystal, Shiro had a frown on her face.

"It was just common knowledge." She muttered with displeasure.

All she discovered was what Veila ruled over as well as some instances of her power being used.

Most of this could be told to her by the spirits in her mana realm.

Veila was the queen of Phantoms. She controls all ghost like monsters which are resistant to Physical attacks and have high tolerances to magical attacks which made it hard for even the most powerful spirit to go against her. Not to mention, she was also tricky to lock down herself.

{You’re a good counter to her since you interact with the soul directly.} Estrella said as Shiro nodded her head.

’True. But we don’t know where her location is right now on Earth. If we did, we’ll be able to launch an attack before she can build up her forces.’

{So what do you plan to do with this city?}

’Leave it. They’ll sort themselves out. I have more pressing matters.’ Shiro sighed and picked up a few pieces of the anchor and stored them into her inventory. She wanted to take a better look at them herself at a later date.

Leaving the building, she made her way to the teleport shrine and teleported back to the island resort.

Letting the elders rest for now, Shiro talked with Samuel about their next steps.

"How much do you know about queens?" Shiro asked as she sat with her legs crossed. She was currently looking at a few reports on the state of the elders and she couldn’t help but frown at the extent of their injuries.

"I know that each queen would send an avatar to this world first to secure a city with their anchor. They would also bring a few trusted guards. After a while, their true body would arrive if nothing goes wrong."

"Indeed. What do you know about anchors then." Shiro asked as she wanted to verify the extent of knowledge that Samuel knew as well as if her information was correct or not. While she did extract this information using torture from the fire queen, there were still doubts surrounding it.

"I know that to place more anchors, a queen needs to infuse their power into it, making them weak for a while. But their subjects will donate their strength and the queen should become stronger over time. The more anchors they place down, the more strength they can obtain in the long term but in the short term they are severely weakened."

"That is correct. I think our next step should be to craft our own anchor since my situation is a little different. Each queen comes from a previous world and they are allowed to pick a spot for their anchor with the help of the system. But I don’t have that benefit since I come from this world. Plus, I have a place in mind where I can place this anchor but it’s exact location is rather mysterious. I’ll need some time to do all my preparations.

"I wish to leave for a rather long journey so I’ll have to leave the spirits under the elders care as you have done before. But once I finish the preparations, I’ll move everyone to a floating fortress that can protect itself and the anchor would be mobile to avoid attacks." Shiro said as Samuel nodded his head.

"As you command."

Giving him a phone to contact her should anything go wrong, she left the capital with Nan Tian.
