Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? Chapter 234 Hell Hound Part 2

Chapter 234 Hell Hound Part 2

As the fight continued, the situation wasn't looking too good for Shiro. Her MP was barely holding on even with all of her skills that boost MP regen.
Celestial Rune Kara, Element Field Affinity, Mana leach and several others that she's applied to her armour on top of mana coils that gather the ambient mana. All of this wasn't enough to balance out the amount of mana she was using to keep up with the boss.
While Yin and Lisandra were able to damage the boss, it was barely able to dent his HP bar.
Unfortunately for Shiro, she couldn't fly into the air either as the boss clearly demonstrated that he had the ability to ambush Yin and Lisandra if she wasn't keeping him at bay. By doing so, it increases the chances of those two dying to the boss.
'The five minute berserk limit should be coming up soon.' Shiro thought to herself as she dodged his attacks. There were times were dodging would be difficult since his passive littered explosive clouds around the arena. Lisandra would take care of the cloud by detonating them herself but there were moments where she wasn't able to shoot them.
Flipping her body backwards, Shiro swiped her hand forward and sent several shadow tendrils to try root the boss. These tendrils were naturally enhanced with Celestial Path as she was preparing for the final phase after berserk.
*URAH!!!!
Dispersing the tendrils, the hell hound became desperate as his movements started to get sluggish.
'Times up!' Shiro thought as her lips curved into a smile. After a few minutes of intense concentration, the feeling of seeing that light at the end of the tunnel was almost intoxicating. But she knew that if she was to relish in this feeling now, she would expose herself to harm.
Lisandra also noticed the boss's movements and turned to Yin.
"The boss should be ending his berserk skill soon. Let's end it in one shot." She said as Yin nodded her head.
Clasping her hands together, she started to condense her Dark Star element once again.
As soon as the berserk skill ended, the boss's doppelgangers faded away while the weapons broke apart and reassembled themselves on the boss's body.
"Chance." Shiro grinned and slammed both hands down onto the ground. The period right after the berserk skill ended is where the user is most vulnerable as they're experiencing the backlash. In this moment, they aren't able to defend themselves since they're trying to adapt to the sudden change in their body, hence a perfect opening for an all out attack.
Two tier 3 magic circles expanded out from under the boss as shadow tendrils latched onto him and started to drain away at his mana, weakening his resistances. Not only that, but since the shadows were gained from Yin, they had their corrosive effects and started to eat away at the boss's armour.
"Yin now!" Lisandra called out when she saw Shiro restrain the boss.
*BOOM!!!!
As their attacks landed on the boss in his weakened state, they pierced a hold through his waist and severed his body in half.
Shiro, knowing that the boss may still be alive, stabbed towards the boss's head to make sure that he's dead.
Layering her sword with light element, she compressed it into a fine edge and stabbed deeply into his skull and exploded a pocket of mana in his brain, turning it into paste.
A series of notifications filled the edge of her peripherals as she was able to level up to 55.
"Two levels at once. Holy crap…" She couldn't help but mutter. It had been quite a long time since she had levelled up twice at once since the last time that happened was a special exception.
[First Kill Rewards for Demonic Hell Hound]
+Title: Demon Conqueror
+Skill: Explosive Miasma
+Skill: Demonic Frenzy
Much like the title she gained from the Chimera, she had increased damage and suppression against demonic beings. A useful title for when she heads to the front lines in this world where the demons roam. As for the skill, Explosive Miasma, she can summon an explosive cloud that detonates on command. Naturally, this was a type of charge up skill that increases damage depending on how much MP she uses.
As for the final skill, it was a berserk skill.
[Demonic Frenzy]
For 5 minutes, you enter a frenzy where all of your stats are doubled. After 5 minutes, you suffer a 90% penalty to your stats for 5 days and will be incapacitated for 30 minutes. Dark type elements receive a 50% increase in effectiveness.
Cost: N/A
Duration: 5 Minutes
Cool Down: 5 Days
While the penalty for this skill was quite harsh since she is basically dead once the effect ends, the fact that it doubles her entire stat board was amazing especially on higher levels. It will allow her to fight people that were much higher level. Not only that, if she stacked it with her other berserk skills, she could potentially fight against level 100's without the use of level up items.
Naturally, this was under the assumption that the level 100 didn't use berserk or any status boosting skills. Otherwise, she'll have to use her silver dagger that propels her to B tier in order to survive.
As for the items that she received for the kill, she got a few weapons and a full set of level 60 Purple Set armour.
However, unlike her level 60 Wyvern set armour that focussed mostly on the INT stat, this one placed its focus on the STR and AGI stat.
'This armour should suit Lyrica quite well since these two stats are what she specialises in.' Shiro thought to herself.
Once she was done with checking out her items, she looked at her updated stat board. In just a single raid, she was able to increase her level to 55.

This had propelled her HP through the 1 million point threshold easily while her MP breached the 3 million mark. While her HP and MP were low for a monster at level 55, the fact that it was accompanied by intelligence, battle experience and a plethora of skills made her much more dangerous.
"So then, shall we have a look at what the doggo was guarding?" Shiro asked with a smile as she watched Yin, Lisandra and Kamnar drop down in front of her. Since Lisandra was linked to her, her level was also 55. As for Yin, her level increased to 56.
"Once we're done with that, I believe it should be my time to go." Kamnar chuckled softly.
"I'm surprised that you've accepted it so easily. Not that I'll let you go of course." Shiro shrugged.
"Atonement for my crimes I suppose. I can only blame my luck for running into you. Hahaha." Kamnar laughed.
Smiling slightly, Shiro walked towards where the hell hound had rested in the time leading up to the fight.
There was a hatch of sorts as the hell hound had been resting on top of it. Opening it with some difficulty, Shiro narrowed her eyes when she felt a burst of killing intent from the room.
"Interesting…" She muttered and jumped down.
