As the fight progressed, it beca worse and worse to look at. No matter what the boss did, be it the party wipe skill or sothing else, Shiro had a counter for it. If it tried to use earthquake, her hidden contraptions would stun him, causing his skill to fail.
With Shiro taking care of all the minions and targets, both Yin and Lisandra just needed to fire their skills at will.
Yin’s Dark Star Elent and Shadow Elent weakened the boss’s defences imnsely due to their corrosion effects. As for Lisandra, her support skills and sword buffs allowed her to cause the boss massive amounts of damage.
With both of them working together, the armour was nothing but decoration.
Not only that, there were tis where the boss would beco airborne and be subjected to another wave of bullets, magic and slashes. Dying like this without a chance to fight back wasn’t a fate that raid bosses should face. Especially this one as it had kept the city of Cairosa from progressing any further.
Looking at the lifeless corpse that laid in front of him, Kamnar couldn’t help but shake his head. A pity for it to run into the Machine Goddess.
Ignoring his silent prayer for the boss, Shiro checked the loot.
Since their party was small with only three people, the sheer amount of loot they received was astounding. In addition to this, the rewards for the first clear caused them to lant the fact that she didn’t join the raid earlier for the previous bosses.
[First Clear Reward of Ancient Chira]
Chira Slayer Title
Chira Core
Skill: Chira Arts
The title was rather straightforward since it allowed her to suppress any kind of Chira type enemy. On the other hand, the Chira Core was a weapon augnt that allowed her to fuse a few skills together.
If it was just these two, she wouldn’t be too impressed, but it was the skill that really made the first clear worth it.
[Chira Arts]
Allows one to fuse two elents together during battle.
Cost: 500,000 MP
Duration: 30 minutes
Cool Down: N/A
A single use of this skill would take 500k worth of MP but Shiro thought that it was worth it. Since the skill allowed her to fuse elents together, she’ll be able to create the upgraded forms of each elent much like what happened to her Ice when it beca Glacial.
If she was to use this skill on Dark Star and Light, she would probably be able to create sothing that is similar to plasma. Not only that, she could even fuse the different elents with tal. This ant that she could further enhance her prowess as a Nanomancer with this.
’If I had this skill back then, I could have fused the light elent with my Nanotech armour to boost up my light resistance by a few folds, allowing to resist his attacks a bit better. This could be a ga changer.’ Shiro thought to herself as the possibilities were seemingly endless.
If she were to upgrade each elent to their most powerful form and fuse them together, would she create sothing higher?
"Mum, what did you get?" Yin asked as she walked over.
"I got a skill called Chira Arts. It allows to fuse two elents in combat. But it’s only for 30 minutes." Shiro replied.
"Heh~ I got sothing similar but rather than for 30 minutes, it’s permanent. I only have two elents, so this is fine." Yin smiled.
"Oh? You have Dark Star and Shadow elent, so what did you get out of it?" Shiro raised an eyebrow.
"The product of fusing my Dark Star and Shadow elent is Demolition Star elent." Yin smiled eagerly.
"Seems like you want to show it to . I’ll make sothing now, give a second." Shiro chuckled.
Flicking her wrist, she sent a strand of nanobots to the side and slowly constructed a thick sheet of tal. However, while it is just a sheet of tal, the hardness and defensive value of this would make the blacksmiths in Vericia drool with greed.
"Heh heh~ Watch carefully." Yin grinned as she pushed both her hands outwards.
*BOOM!!!
The mana surged towards Yin, causing charred dust to scatter into the air from the gusts of wind that was ford due to this.
Crouching down a little, Shiro stopped herself from being dragged along as the suction force was much greater than she had expected. As for Lisandra, she stabbed her sword into the ground and used that as a support.
*KISH KISH KISH!
Sparks flickered around Yin as the amount of mana that was being gathered rivalled that of Lisandra’s during her ti as the light goddess’s incarnation.
"Collapse!" She shouted out as 5 layers of Tier 3 magic circles suddenly ford around the sheet of tal.
Widening her eyes at the activation ti, disregarding the fact that Yin beca a mana hoover for a while, Shiro couldn’t believe that Yin was able to activate each of the magic circles within the half second gap.
Before anyone realised, an orb of light appeared in the centre of the sheet.
*CRACK!
Fractures littered the tals as the orb expanded instantly, consuming everything within its range and left a rather deep crater in the spot.
"Ha.... How was it?" Yin smiled has her face was a little pale.
"Demolition Star Elent is very powerful, but the mana consumption is huge. It doesn’t take points, but rather percentage to fuel the spells." She said while falling back onto the ground.
Shiro didn’t say anything as she walked over to the crater and tried to pick up a small piece of debris. But before she could even grab it properly, it scattered apart into ash.
"Hmm... What do you think will happen if you used it against soone that was at a higher level than you?" Shiro asked curiously.
"It depends. Anyone lower level than will be killed without exception. However, for those who are higher than , depending on their stats and other factors, the skill may just shatter apart." Yin shrugged.
"So, it’s rather situational if we were to use it to fight against people that are higher level. A bit troubleso but it shouldn’t be too bad." Shiro nodded.
"What about you Lisa? What did you get?"
"? Well... I did get a Chira type skill that allows to fuse things together, but it’s locked right now. I only have 1 elent unlocked so it can’t fuse with anything. Even after all this ti, I still haven’t been able to use my second elent." Lisandra replied while looking down on her hands. She had known about her second elent for a while now but no matter what she had done, she couldn’t find out anything about it never mind unlocking it.
"No worries. As long as you got sothing out of it, it’s good enough." Shiro nodded her head. She understood that for soone like Lisandra, it may take longer to unlock their second elent and that was fine. They had more than enough firepower in the party for now and this was just a fragnt too.
If they included everyone, Lyrica, Silvia, Madison and so potential candidates, they could rival a small faction all by themselves.
"Anyways, before we get to the last boss, how’s your MP doing Yin?" Shiro asked as she looked towards Yin.
"Not good. Might take a while." Yin replied.
"Alright, we’ll make a temporary camp for now. Once Yin gets her MP back, we’ll go fight the 5th boss." Shiro said as they agreed.
Sitting around the camp, Shiro looked at the item, Chira Core.
[Chira Core – Orange]
An item that can be used on either weapons or armour. One can fuse skills together using this and the effects will be permanent. Use at your own risk as the skills used for the fusion will disappear. The skill produced in the fusion is guaranteed to be better than the materials. However, the skill may or may not be situational.
(Maximum of 3 skills allowed for fusion.)
’Should I gamble or not...’ Shiro thought to herself. If she used this, she’ll get a very powerful skill at the cost of three weaker skills.
But the clear downside is that the skill may have harsh restrictions.
A potential situation would be her getting a high rank sword skill but the restrictions could be that she needed to have a sword-based class.
’What to do...’ She wondered to herself. Right now, her sword technically had 5 skills. Elent shift, Ataraxia and the 3 Celestial runes, Kara Lire and Aera. All of them were amazing skills in their own rights.
In the end, she decided to save the core for now since she was bound to get more skills in the future. Who knows, she might even be able to get a skill from the fifth boss.
