Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? Chapter 173 Three Demon Generals

Chapter 173 Three Demon Generals

Making her way towards the demon continent, s.h.i.+ro released the disguise she placed on her stats.

[s.h.i.+ro LVL 49 – Snow Girl]

If she revealed her ident.i.ty as a monster, the monsters would be less wary about her.

"Hmm… why haven't there been any demons or monsters yet?" She muttered in confusion.

Shaking her head, she allowed ice to spread out from her since a snow girl not being surrounded by a blizzard would be a weird sight.

Allowing all of her pa.s.sive to do their job, a blizzard started to spread out within the night. The sheer size of the blizzard made it very hard to miss. Not only that, but s.h.i.+ro was also flaring her mana so that everything near her would be able to detect her.

'If I infiltrate the demon army, it should give me a few opportunities to attack the generals.' s.h.i.+ro thought since, unlike the other two tasks, the whereabouts of the demon generals were unknown.

Flexing her fingers slightly, she created a giant ice tree and sat on the tallest branch while looking off into the horizon.

"Hmm… They should have felt my presence by now." s.h.i.+ro muttered whilst she crossed her legs.

Sending out pulses of mana in regulated intervals, s.h.i.+ro soon picked up a large group of monsters making their way towards her. Within that group, there was 1 signal that was much more powerful than the rest.

'So one of the generals decided to humour me huh? I'll take it.' She thought with a smile.

Waiting for a short moment for the branch army to arrive, s.h.i.+ro made sure her aura was that of a lofty princess that wouldn't bow down to anyone. Even if it was a demon general.

As they approached, she could hear the rhythmic beat of their footsteps.

"Halt!" The demon general shouted out.

He was a giant demon that measured up to around 7ft tall in height. His skin was dark red in colour and his hair was black.

His irises were gold but the sclera was void black. Pair that with a muscular physique and it made for quite the intimidating sight for normal people.

Keeping a hand on the greatsword on his back, he walked towards s.h.i.+ro in caution. He could feel the danger radiating off of s.h.i.+ro's body.

'Even though I'm a level 60 Demon General, this level 49 snow girl isn't someone to mess with. How peculiar…' He thought to himself.

[Zeriks The Demon General LVL60 – General]

'Hou~ So another monster with a rank.' s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes since the wyvern was the same.

'Better loot then.' She grinned.

Looking at her cold grin, Zeriks' pupils shrank in fear. Sweat dripped off his skin as he was currently being submerged in her killing intent. Even though he tried to fight back with his own, her killing intent easily overwhelmed his own.

It was like a kid picking a fight against an a.d.u.l.t.

*KRRR!!!

The blizzard started to expand in proportion to her killing intent. Ice formed on the demons bodies as they looked towards Zeriks in hope that he could do something about this.

Gritting his teeth, Zeriks took a step forward.

"Hou~ For a general that can stand up to my presence, commendable." s.h.i.+ro smiled slightly as she narrowed her eyes at Zeriks.

"I thank you for your praise." He replied. He wasn't stupid and knew that he would need his brothers to stand a chance against the snow girl.

As a demon who had fought through wars that brought him close to death, he knew the fights he could and couldn't win. And the current situation told him that there was no way for him to live if he provoked her.

"If I may be rude, can I ask what my lady is doing in the border between the demon continent and the Astia Kingdom?" Zeriks asked carefully.

s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes slightly before opening her mouth.

"Because I'm bored. I've already killed the wyvern and I'm lacking a bit of entertainment. Say, why don't we have a fight? You'll have the honour of entertaining this princess." s.h.i.+ro grinned as her blood l.u.s.t started to apply more pressure of Zeriks.

"Kuh! I don't dare. But I do have a suggestion for you, your highness." Zeriks barely replied as he adjusted his way of addressing her after hearing her call herself princess.

"Hou~ Speak."

"Currently, we are going to attack the kingdom in a few weeks to destroy the final node that stops our army from invading the mainland. I can guarantee that there are definitely strong opponents within the mainland that will entertain you more than what I can provide." Zeriks replied.

"Interesting…" s.h.i.+ro muttered as she put her hand on her chin.

"Then tell me what you are planning to do." She asked.

"That… I'll have to ask my brothers about this. It's not that I don't want to tell your highness, but it's simply too important to have the lower tier monsters know about this. Not only that, what I know is only a third of the information. My eldest brother is the one to plan everything."

'So this elder brother is the strategist of it all. The king did say that these three generals directed the previous war.'

"Hmm, why don't you take me to your elder brother then? Of course, if you're lying to me, I wouldn't mind using you as my entertainment." s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes before retracting her aura.

Flexing her fingers a little, the ice tree shattered into tiny ice shards while the blizzard faded away.

"Lead the way." s.h.i.+ro smiled lightly as she landed in front of Zeriks.

Looking at her face up close, Zeriks couldn't help but pause in shock. He couldn't believe that anyone this beautiful could exist. Sure he knew about how snow woman were known for their beauty, but the snow girl in front of him couldn't be described by the word beautiful.

Seeing Zeriks fall in a daze, s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes and frowned.

Before she could make a move, he recovered himself and lowered his head.

"Please follow me." He said quickly since he could feel his instincts warn him.

Nodding her head slightly, s.h.i.+ro followed Zeriks into the demon continent.

Looking up at the sky, she could see the colour slowly saturate with an ominous red.

'So this is the demon continent, not too different from the demon continent from Aria.' She thought to herself.

None of the greenery could grow as there were dead trees and rock formations as far as the eye could see. As they continued to walk for a while, Zeriks raised his hand and formed a magic circle.

'A lock and key huh? No wonder the king couldn't find their location.'

Controlling the magic circle so that it floated up into the air, Zeriks started to chant in a different language.

Matching up what she is hearing with the records she had gathered back in her old world, s.h.i.+ro started to translate the 'key' of the formation.

'Sari, Anvi, Nifir, Caos, Tridim, Ulpir, Mano, Kari, Eril, Ymik.'

'A rather low level demon concealment lock. Anyone that's 10 levels above the caster would be able to see through the concealment with ease.' She thought to herself as she understood the lock after translating the key in her mind.

'Thankfully I joined this demon back to camp. Otherwise, even if I did find this place by chance, it would be hard for me to escape unless I present the key.'

A small gap opened up in the barrier as Zeriks' gestured for her to enter.

Walking into the barrier, s.h.i.+ro frowned slightly when she saw the sheer amount of demons on the other side.

'If all of these demons attack, there's no way the kingdom will survive.' She thought with a frown.

Just from what she could see and sense, s.h.i.+ro estimated the rough number of demons to be more than 300 thousand.

Walking through the camp, they arrived at a giant tent.

Inside the tent was two giant demons that were both taller than Zeriks by at least a head.

[Redir The Demon Strategist LVL 65 – General]

[Pildrum The Demon General LVL 60 – General]

"Brother, I have brought the anomaly back. It's a snow girl that may help us in our fight." Zeriks said.

"Idiot! Why would you bring the danger to us?!" Pildrum shouted out.

"Settle down." Redir narrowed his gaze at Pildrum before looking towards s.h.i.+ro who had a fearless smile on her face.

"You don't feel like someone who could output so much mana. Zeriks, are you sure she's the one?" Redir asked as he tried his best to show no reaction towards s.h.i.+ro's beauty.

"I'm sure she's the one. Especially since…" Zeriks left his words hanging as he gestured to his head.

"Hou…." Redir narrowed his eyes since he knew what that meant.

'She's dangerous despite her looks and level!'

Covering the lower half of his face, Redir started to think as he tapped on the table with his finger.

"Zeriks, I believe you said that I'll get my entertainment in the human continent right? Where's the proof that you said you were going to show me?" s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes while keeping her fearless smile.

Pildrum looked towards Redir as they made a silent agreement.

Reaching out for his sword discreetly, Pildrum was shocked when s.h.i.+ro suddenly flashed out of sight.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you. This princess doesn't like people pointing their swords at me." s.h.i.+ro said with a small giggle.

Half of Pildrum's body was frozen over with ice while Zeriks and Redir had tried to help but where locked down by void black chains that corroded their skin.

"Redir was it? Seems like you wanted to test out this princess's prowess. Your little brother should have told you about my power but seems like you ignored his warnings." s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes while killing intent filled the room.

"Hahaha, a little misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding." Redir said with a smile.

"Hahaha! A misunderstanding? Then what if kill your brother? Can I say it's a misunderstanding as well?" s.h.i.+ro laughed.

"It was my mistake your highness. Since you wish to have entertainment, I'll surely help you achieve it as we invade the mainland." Redir said as he dropped his weapon on the ground. He had his suspicions since s.h.i.+ro was only level 49. Proved that he was still naïve about the prowess of monsters.

Snapping her fingers, s.h.i.+ro thawed the ice and sat on the biggest chair in the room.

"Explain your plan." s.h.i.+ro said as she relaxed herself on the chair.

Her aura of dominance could be felt as it reminded the three of their demon king.

"You see, the current plan is like this…"

###

After Redir explain the plan to s.h.i.+ro, she leaned back slightly and closed one of her eyes.

'This isn't good. Their plan is much bigger than I thought. As it stands, they're basically at the last stretch.' She thought whilst tapping her cheek with her finger.

Every time they've invaded, their main goal was always to chip away at the kingdom's defences so that they can win the most important battle with ease. The high level adventurers that were holding back the demon invasion were constantly fighting without a chance to rest so they're on the verge of death right now.

They allowed the kingdom to stand for this long due to the fact that if they invaded the mainland years ago, the chances of failure would be much higher since the high level adventures would be at the peak of their power.

'Even if I killed these three now, the other generals scattered throughout land would still know the plan. Then there's also the problem of a mole inside the kingdom. They've been sending the generals everything that happens inside so that they could plan around everything that's happening.'

"Why are you even invading the mainland to begin with? What do they have to draw the attention of the entire demon race?" s.h.i.+ro asked.

The trio looked at one another before nodding.

"In the centre of the mainland, lay the corpse of a fallen G.o.d." Redir said, dropping the bomb.

Narrowing her eyes, s.h.i.+ro glared at Redir.

"Explain why the demon race wants the corpse of a G.o.d."

"It's for the demon king to ascend. Once the demon king a.s.similates with the corpse of a G.o.d, he will gain one of the many qualifications needed to become a tier 7 DemiG.o.d."

'Demi G.o.d!' s.h.i.+ro widened her eyes.

Even in her prime, she was only Tier 6 and while she did speculate that tier 7 was somewhat related to being a G.o.d, she didn't think it was Demi G.o.d. A stage before G.o.d.

Meaning there could be a Tier 8.

'8 Tiers huh? So I was still far from the peak.' s.h.i.+ro smiled in excitement.

However, her excitement was cut short when she saw a system update.

[Hidden Main Quest Discovered: Fallen G.o.d.]

You have discovered that the reason the demon race is invading is to gain the body of a dead G.o.d. Stop them with everything you can.

Protect the kingdom along with the main capital.
