Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Chapter 1276: Extinguishing The God Beast

Tearing apart the realm, the God Beast descended upon a realm. The panicked civilians launched a barrage of spells yet none of it worked.

It tore apart their defences, the tall walls and consumed their kingdom in its sludge. All that came into contact were melted down and absorbed before being regurgitated as minions at its disposal.

Panicked screams filled the realm as the people retreated as fast as they could but the swarm of monsters did not slow down. Their sheer numbers covered the sky in a sickening blood red while the sound of the God Beast's movement sounded like demonic laughter.

"Send the young, old and weak! Delay the beast as much as you can! Prepare the boats!" A commander shouted out as sweat dripped down his face.

He remembered what the oracle had said as she prophesied the god of death approaching through the rip in space. The fates have already foretold their realm's destruction.

However, he did not believe such a thing. He didn't believe that there was nothing they could do, and even if that was true, they shouldn't just give up.

As the head commander of this kingdom, he was one of the strongest in this world or rather, what's left of the strongest.

"Sir! You should also leave!" One of his soldiers begged but he shook his head.

"If we lose you as well, all is doomed sir!"

"Enough! Leave with the others. Let me handle this. The Asharia Kingdom will not fall so long as its civilians live on and that includes you. Allow me to fulfil my role as the final shield of this kingdom." He smiled before walking past the soldier.

Looking at the swarm of monsters and the giant god beast that slowly approached them from afar, he could feel a wave of fear surfacing in his heart but this was his duty, his last stand. He will use his life so that the others can survive just a little longer.

Mana erupted from his body as he retrieved his sword and shield.

"With all due respect sir, that's stupid and you know it. One man can't hold back that monstrosity."

"Pft. Since it's the end of the world I'll let that slide. I know I can't hold it back but a few seconds is enough." The commander laughed.

"Then another would double that no?"

Blinking his eyes in surprise, the commander looked at the soldier who took off his helmet.

"I'll resign from my post. Now it's volunteer work." He smiled, causing the commander to smack his shoulder.

"Alright. But keep that helmet on, it might help you out. Follow me."

Jumping into the battlefield, a tier 6 mana circle erupted from under him as he slammed his shield down. Several beacons lit up around the castle walls as a giant barrier was formed.

"For the people!" He shouted out as he stabbed the sword into the ground, stabilizing himself.

Behind him, the soldier did the same as he offered what little mana he could towards his commander.

Watching the giant dome of golden light envelop the kingdom, it was as though a pair of wings was now protecting them.

Seeing the monsters approach, the commander smiled wearily as he knew the shield would not hold on for long. He had already seen tier 7 adventurers die to the wave. A tier 6 commander like himself will not be able to hold on.

*BANG!!!

A large ripple spread across the shield as the monsters collided yet it didn't collapse.

Widening his eyes in surprise, he glanced back at the castle walls and saw that many of the soldiers did not leave and chose to stay behind.

"HU RAH! HU RAH! HU RAH!"

Their symphonic war chants overshadowed the cry of beasts as all of them offered their all for the barrier.

Seeing this, a new sense of pride welled up in the commander's heart as he amplified his voice.

"SOLDIERS! Tonight! We die as heroes! Tonight! We shall dine at the table in the afterlife in glory! Stand tall!" He shouted out as a burst of radiance erupted from the shield, pushing back the monsters by a single step.

With the monsters now struggling to breach the barrier, the God Beast approached slowly and raised its claw.

*BANG!!!!

Shattering the outer layer without any issues, it prepared the second attack as the commander gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He offered as much mana as he could to the barrier so that it may hold on for just one more hit.

However, that hit never arrived as a giant source of mana pierced into their realm, overshadowing everything with a golden glow that tore the monster filled skies in two. A ray of light that had been blocked out now descended into the realm as a single spear pierced through the monsters with no issue.

Targeting the God Beast, several tier 9 magic circles appeared around the God Beast and golden chains secured it in place. The spear will not miss its target!

Just as the spear collided against the beast, an explosion of pure mana erupted out from the beast as the world seemed to lose its colour from the brightness. Seeing the wave of destruction approach, the commander did not know what to do.

They could barely block the attack of the beast yet this spear that radiated more might than the monster of nightmares, was now releasing an explosion much stronger than the monster itself.

Before despair could overwhelm his mind, a woman's hand tapped his shoulder.

"You got a good set of soldiers. I saw everything that happened." Her gentle voice rang out as he saw her long white hair similar to that of snow, an elegant black dress and a confident smile as she raised her hand towards the blast.

Several rings of tier 9 magic circles appeared around her hand as another barrier appeared around the them.

*BANG!!!!!

The collision of the barrier and the explosion caused the world to shake as none of them could remain standing on their feet. The ground split apart from the attack but everything within the barrier was safe. Hundreds of tier 9 magic circles appeared behind them as the bodies of the deceased appeared.

Even those that had been consumed by the beast and regurgitated as monsters had their body reconstructed.

Waving her hand, orbs appeared above each of them before transforming into a wisp of energy that entered their bodies.

"They should be waking up soon. The barrier will keep everyone safe. Once the monster is dealt with, the barrier will disappear. You can stop your evacuations now." Shiro reassured with a soft smile.

Flicking her wrist, Gungnir reappeared in her hand as she dismissed it into the form of a ring. It took too much mana to manifest such a weapon after all.

Looking towards the God Beast, Shiro could see that most of its body had been shaved away from the blast but it was far from dead.

Rising from its boiling body, the god beast was now a single elongated figure with a large smile that stretched across its body. Tentacles erupted from the wounds while bloodied cuts were forced open to reveal a myriad of eyes under the layer of skin.

Opening its jaw, a tier 9 magic circle could be seen as Shiro was still calm.

With her eyes, she could see every detail in the world, everything that it was planning to do. The formation of its spell, the movement of mana. Even the space it was currently floating in, she could see it all.

Snapping her finger, giant metal spikes erupted from the ground as the mana within the area was instantly evaporated, causing the giant monster to start falling downwards as it could no longer fly.

Its spell shattered apart while a tier 9 magic circle hovered above the area.

"Die." Shiro ordered coldly as she swiped her hand down.

From the tier 9 circle, a giant manifestation of Gungnir's spear tip shot down and pierced deep into the body of the beast. The third ability activating upon Shiro's command as circuits invaded its body and were comprehending everything regarding its being.

With the code of the God Beast now presented to her, Shiro reached out and split the code apart. All the souls that created the beast returned to their own reality while the concept of a 'God Beast' no longer existed.

Every God Beast that had ever existed was now wiped out.

Tilting her head back, Shiro conjured the spear once more as there was only one more place she wanted to visit before she put an end to Anima's experiment.

"P-Please before you go! Can you tell me who you are?" The commander called out as he didn't want the saviour of their realm to leave without giving them a name. He knew that she was not a mortal, the way she conjured a tier 9 magic circle was proof of that.

Glancing back, Shiro thought for a moment before smiling.

"It's Shiro." She smiled. She was neither the First born nor the original Nanomancer herself, Nytri. No, she was just Shiro. One of the many clones created by Anima for her experiment but she was her own person.

Without another word, she locked onto her original realm and threw the spear before disappearing from the world.

Seeing Shiro leave, the commander sighed before raising his sword towards the soldiers. They had survived and that was all that mattered.
