Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 849 Helion's Creation

Making her way back, Shiro wondered what Helion had managed to achieve with the material since even she had a bit of a hard time killing the monster so she brute forced her way through. Working around the magic resistance was annoying but it could become very helpful if they could use it to their advantage.

Arriving at the house she had created for both Helion’s and Aarim’s testing of the material, she could see that everyone had already gathered here and were waiting for her.

"Sup." Shiro smiled while giving them a small wave.

"You’re here. Since everyone is there, I suppose I’ll show you the results of my efforts." Helion smiled as he pulled out a few pieces of material. First was an ingot of sorts that was coloured dark blue and had a green hue when viewed in light.

The second material was a white powder, the third was something similar to a sheet of leather and the final one is a black liquid.

Raising her eyebrow, Shiro noted that the materials didn’t feel like they contained much mana. Normally, this would mean that they were rather poor in quality but since it came from the monster, Shiro knew that it was not the case.

"The first item is a metal that I managed to create by grinding some of the materials into fine dust. It’s hard to forge with since it’s highly resistant to magic fire. I even had to use some of the stronger skills in my arsenal to forge a single ingot and I must say, the magic resistance on this thing is CRAZY. If not for some of my passives that I received as Hephaestus’ Successor, I’m afraid a material like this would be out of my capabilities. If I was to make armour with this, I’m confident to say that almost no tier 5 spells can harm you. Unless it’s a spell with crazy magic penetration, you’ll be safe. For tier 6, this effect is weaker but it’ll still protect you quite a bit." Helion grinned before looking at the second item.

"For this powder, it was a mix of the monster’s bones and skin. It’s similar to the powder that I used to make the ingot but this one can be applied directly to an armour in order to increase its magic resistance. Of course, the effects aren’t as potent as the ingot but considering the fact that we’ll need to destroy the armour first before using the ingot, it’s probably better to use the powder. Especially since your armour is one of the best ones that I’ve crafted." Helion smiled.

"Mn, that is true. Your armour has been quite helpful. Getting rid of it would be a shame." Shiro smiled as this armour has stayed around for a while now. If not for the fact that it was bound and grew alongside her, she would have been forced to replace it regardless of how good it was.

Most armour could only be used for 5 levels after all.

"Che, when will I get armour that grows with me. I’ve been needing to change it every five levels. Honestly, aside from Yin’s eating habits, buying material for smithing is where most of our party funds are disappearing into." Madison sighed. As the tank, armour was extremely important to her since it helps her with resisting against attacks.

"Don’t worry, I’m working on something right now." Helion smiled as Madison nodded her head.

"The sheet of hide is similar to the first item, hard to use but when turned into light armour, it has high magic resistance.

"But these are just decent items compared to the last one." Helion narrowed his eyes and pointed at the ink.

"This ink is similar to enchantment ink that is used to specialised equipment. But when used to enchant something that a mage can use, their magic has increased resistance which means it won’t be broken easily. If the enemy has something similar to Shiro like her celestial path, this means that it’s hard to break your spells apart." Helion chuckled.

"For example, Shiro, can you try to break this spell?" Helion asked as he created a tier 5 magic circle.

Nodding her head, she activated celestial path and tried to break it like how she would normally.

However, just as her needle came into contact with the magic circle, she felt a resistance and her needle was deflected immediately and the spell activated. Naturally, Helion stopped the spell as the party paused in surprise since Shiro’s celestial path had rarely failed.

Looking at the needle that fell to the ground, Shiro was quite surprised at the toughness of the spell. If this was in a battle, it could catch her off guard.

But after the first attempt, she could somewhat understand its upper limit so she’d be able to break it if he casts another spell.

’But during a battle, that one spell could turn the tides of battle.’ Shiro thought to herself.

"It’s pretty good isn’t it?" Helion laughed since this was probably one of the better items considering the fact that there was a chance for people with a skill similar to Shiro’s celestial path to take them by surprise.

Plus, this ink also increased the potency of their spell slightly since it did come from a monster that could fire tier 6 spells at will.

"How did you even make this?" Shiro asked curiously since she was quite impressed by it.

"It was honestly an accident. It’s a byproduct of making this powder." Helion chuckled while pointing at the white powder.

"Some of the excess material leaked out and dropped into the fire which started to fuse together with the second ingot that I tried to make. However, once the two started to fuse together in the fire, it refused to harden into an ingot and instead became this ink instead. The more ink you use, the more resistant to magic the spell is but there is naturally a limit. Using too much ink will cause your spells to fail since they collapse on themselves. I haven’t found the best ratio yet but I’m working on it." Helion smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

"Will you be able to make me an accessory using this ink of something? Since having my spells reinforced means that I can be a bit more experimental with some spells. Having unstable spells that have a good chance of failure might become viable with this ink." Shiro muttered as Aarim agreed with her on that.

"Since Helion is showing off his stuff, I should show off mine too." Aarim laughed.

"While I haven’t made too much progress, I have developed a way to suppress passive skills and genetic advantages such as magic resistance, healing and so on. Theoretically, it could suppress Shiro’s crazy health and mana regeneration." Aarim explained.

Hearing this, Shiro’s interest was piqued.

"Oh? Let’s give it a try." Shiro said as she stabbed herself in the gut.

With her natural healing, a wound like this will be healed quite quickly.

Raising her eyebrow, Aarim was used to Shiro’s methods of testing and quickly activated her spell.

A chain like tattoo suddenly appeared on Shiro’s body as her healing slowed down massively.

Even her mana regeneration decreased as Shiro looked at the status effect with interest since there wasn’t a spell circle to cancel. It was almost instantaneous which made it hard for her to analyse the spell.

"Interesting." Shiro muttered while activating life fire.

"Seems like this spell can’t affect skills or spells right now. If we can repurpose it to completely suppress healing, battles would be less drawn out with our enemies being unable to regenerate." Shiro muttered while looking at her mana regen which seemed to be as slow as a snail right now especially when you remember that she has an astonishing 21 billion points of mana.

"Well this has been rather fruitful hasn’t it? With how much material we still have, we can make quite a few full sets of armour or maybe even more. If I can make some armour similar to Shiro’s with this material, we wouldn’t need to change every five levels. And we’ll be able to save the material for something else." Helion smiled.

"Mn, Nan Tian mentioned that I should train an elite task force or something back at the floating fortress so maybe if we have some left over armour, I can use it for the task force." Shiro nodded her head.

"Sure, if we have more powerful allies, it’ll make the new age easier for us since we are lacking in manpower. But that can be made up for with powerful people since quality is better than quantity." Helion agreed.

Talking for a little longer, the party decided that Helion and Aarim should stay behind and start finalising their creations while Shiro and the others start taking some land now. They have given the candidates enough of a break after the monster attack.
