Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? Chapter 932 Missing Senses

Chapter 932 Missing Senses

Widening her eyes, Jasmine grabbed Shiro's wrist as her face twisted in anger. Even though Shiro had lost her eyesight, her senses from boundary still told her everything she needed to know.
However, despite managing to activate Extraction, Shiro knew that she couldn't let her guard down until her enemy disappeared.
Using her spare hand to grab Jasmine's throat, Shiro reinforced her arm and crushed her neck to the pulp. Putting strength into her right hand, she ripped out the heart at the same time. Disintegrating into a tiny ball of condensed code, Shiro smiled as Jasmine's body crumbled to ash.
Dismissing the divine garden as well as her demi god raiment, Shiro sighed as she sat down on the roof of one of the buildings nearby.
However, the moment she sat down, she realised that her sense of touch had basically disappeared. It was hard to walk considering the fact that there was no feedback from the rest of her body.
Furrowing her brows a little, she wanted to check her system but with her eyesight disappeared, she didn't know if it was temporary or permanent.
'Well this is concerning.' Shiro smiled softly as Nimue only crossed her hands while observing everything from the mana realm.
&123;So not only have you lost your sight, but you've also lost your sense of touch now.&125; She sighed.
'Oh it's not that bad now is it? There's definitely a cure for this so don't worry.' Shiro smiled.
&123;But even after healing your eyes, you can't see anything can you?&125; Nimue furrowed her brows.
'Mn… maybe it's something to do with the soul. She is the subordinate of the ghost queen after all.' Shiro shrugged as she 'looked' down at the source code in her hands.
Right now, her sight was completely black and white. Everything was in clear detail but that's only for things within a small range from her. At most, once she gets out, she can probably use her mana sense to navigate around a little. Plus, if it does get a bit annoying, she could make herself some 'eyes' using nanobots since the image would be transmitted to her mind. It was just that using her nanobots would be far inferior compared to her senses since there is a delay and a chance that the camera wouldn't be able to capture what her eyes could.
"Say young Queen, if you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you let my subordinate go. She was just doing a job after all." A voice suddenly rang out as Shiro felt a chill down her spine. However, it was also similar to when Nyx appeared so she understood that this was probably an avatar.
"I'm guessing you're the Ghost Queen then. Nice to meet you but unfortunately, I have no intentions of letting this little bundle of code go. I did have a few things robbed from me after all." Shiro chuckled while glancing towards the source of voice. Through her senses, she could tell that someone was there but the figure was blurry so she couldn't tell what she looked like.
"Your sight and touch right? I can return them to you as long as you give he-"
*PING!~
Absorbing the code, Shiro smiled.
"Oops, I slipped. Maybe we can talk next time then." Shiro chuckled as she activated the upgraded version of her celestial path.
With the sudden lack of mana, the figure flickered and started to disappear.
"I'll remember your face." Olora warned in a low voice as her presence disappeared.
Once Shiro was sure Olora disappeared, Shiro sighed and closed her eyes before laying on her back.
Since she had absorbed the code, she would gain a new skill. Unfortunately, she couldn't see what it was and a camera wouldn't reveal her status board to her.
'What a shame. I'll find out what it is when I get my sight back I suppose.' Shiro shook her head as her priority was to get back to Lyrica. She knew that after using Extraction, she'll probably get a vision of what the person she killed experienced so she wanted some protection first.
Trying to stand up, Shiro almost fell over a few times since she didn't know if she had stood up properly or if she was falling. Keeping boundary activated for a long time was difficult so she was using a mix of other options such as mana and wires to determine her posture.
Eventually, she settled with controlling her entire body through wires around her body. Her sight was sorted with a camera in the form of a contact lens so her vision should be close to the original. She didn't want to worry her friends after all since this is probably just temporary. She just needed a bit of time to see what's wrong with her senses.
Finding her way back to the base that they set up for now, Shiro could see the survivors resting while Lyrica and the others stood guard.
Upon seeing Shiro, Lyrica sighed in relief since she had been worried.
"Welcome back. Seems like you've finished taking care of it." Lyrica smiled as Shiro nodded her head.
"Mn, it was a bit troublesome but it's over for now. The only thing is that I might have annoyed the Ghost Queen now haha." Shiro laughed as she shrank her body down and sat on Lyrica's shoulder.
"When do you not annoy people haha." Lyrica smiled as Shiro nodded her head.
"Mn, regardless, I'm a little exhausted after everything so I'll go rest for now. I'm sure you lot are able to bring everyone back to the city so I'm leaving it to you." Shiro yawned and rested her head on Lyrica's neck.
Seeing this, Lyrica was a little surprised but nodded her head.
Holding Shiro's body carefully, she adjusted her position a little so that she wouldn't fall off.
However, when Kasper saw Shiro, he widened his eyes in surprise since her the pressure he felt from her soul was much weaker than before.
'Did something happen?' He thought to himself with a frown since her soul was heavily injured right now.
But mentioning it now would be rather disadvantageous so he planned to bring this up once they made it back to the base.

"AHHHHHHH What the hell!? Why is there someone with that kind of power this early on??" Gaia slammed her hand on the table when she heard about what Jasmine did. The fact that she could kill someone after fulfilling the condition of robbing all of their senses was insane. It was something that would belong to a skill in tier 7 rather than 6.
The fact that Shiro actually lost her sight and touch concerned Gaia.
"I know you're worried but it's fine. She's a demi god so her soul will recover on its own but it might take a while." Nyx sighed.
"That's not what I'm worried about! If she can't see the system she can't see my messages!" Gaia glared at Nyx who blinked a few times to make sure she heard everything properly.
"So you're worried, because she can't read your messages?" Nyx asked as Gaia nodded her head furiously.
"Ahhhhh it'll take so long for me to be able to message her. Maybe I should sabotage the ghost queen for this." Gaia narrowed her eyes as Ouranos sighed.
"You're not a teenage girl. I'm sure you'll be fine if you don't talk to her for a bi-"
"Shut up, you don't understand hmph!" Gaia frowned as she drop kicked Ouranos off his chair.
"Calm down Gaia. Let's just watch for now, it's normal for things to be a bit strange considering the situation we're in. This new age will be completely different to what has happened in the past so there will naturally be situations like this. The most we can do is to wait for our time to arrive since we're still not even a week in yet." Nyx shook her head as Gaia pouted and sat down on the chair.
"Hais, you should know what Gaia's like and you still provoked her." Tartarus shook his head as Ouranos ignored him and sat down without saying anything.

Making their way back to the city, Lyrica brought the surprised survivors to the second city for now and had Samuel and some of the other trusted staff guide them for now.
After thinking about it for a while, Lyrica decided to escort Shiro back to her room while she was still sleeping but the moment she opened the door, she saw Lisandra gritting her teeth as sweat dripped from her face.
Her pristine white wings were being dyed black at the base.
