Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? Chapter 754 Syrune's Goal

Chapter 754 Syrune's Goal

"What kind of divinity allows you to encroach the entire world with your ghost to collect his fragments?" Syrune asked with a small smile.

"One that you don't need to know about. If I was the ruthless killer, I wouldn't ask you about why you did this. However, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself so that when I kill you I can give your sisters an explanation." s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes.

"You're really giving me this chance? Despite me wanting to destroy this world?" Syrune asked while caressing the corrupted pool with her hand.

Raising her hand and looking at the purple liquid, she shook it off.

"You don't want me to? I can kill you as it is you know?" s.h.i.+ro smiled as she summoned her sword.

"Well if I have a chance of living then why wouldn't I try to explain myself. You know there are G.o.ds always watching right?"

"Yes I do." s.h.i.+ro nodded her head.

"And I presume you know that this world is detached from the real one right?" Syrune asked as s.h.i.+ro nodded her head once more.

"We sisters are souls taken from the real one to act as caretakers of this world. This is the personal playground of the G.o.ds where they watch what happens with some mild interference. We sisters have been alive for centuries looking after this world with no goal in mind. I want to see the outside world, I want to break free from this fate of constantly looking after this world. After all, there is no purpose in this world being around. Any technological advances are halted so we're always stuck in the past." Syrune shook her head as s.h.i.+ro raised her eyebrow.

"And you think destroying the world and all its inhabitants is the key?"

"He told me that so long as we break the seal on this world placed by the G.o.ds, we'll be able to access the outside world. A few sacrifices are nothing in the long run. You can even take my life so long as my sisters can live outside of this priso-!!!" Syrune widened her eyes as she looked down to see a blade pierced through her chest from behind her.

"Hais… who the h.e.l.l would believe someone that keeps trying to destroy the world. Just because I sympathise with your thoughts doesn't mean I accept how you carry it out." s.h.i.+ro shook her head as she reappeared behind Syrune with a green glow to her eyes.

Currently, she had her True Spirit Nature activated and she could see the fragment of the Ancient Terror slowly transforming Syrune's body while they spoke. If she let it be, she would have transformed after their little talk and she wasn't dumb enough to let her enemy power up in front of her. After all, things could quickly go south if she did.

If she didn't try to transform she might have let her finish her little monologue.

Pulling the sword out which was now enchanted by a few green runes, s.h.i.+ro watched as the final piece of the Ancient Terrors soul was sucked into her lantern.

"ARGGG!! LET ME OUT!!" The Ancient Terror shouted out as he crashed against the walls of the lantern.

"You can shut up for a bit." s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes and unsummoned the lantern.

Holding Syrune, s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes at her.

"Just kill me." Syrune muttered as stumbled for a moment. After accepting the core of the Ancient Terror, she knew that he was eating away at her but she didn't want to give up the chance of bringing her sisters out of this prison.

"Even if I didn't want to, you'll die soon anyways. The Ancient Terror has made himself a pillar of your soul. Now that I have taken him away, your soul will collapse on itself soon." s.h.i.+ro sighed as Syrune was beyond saving.

"I see…" Syrune sighed with a shake of her head.

"They were quite shocked to find out that you're the culprit you know? They don't believe that you did it." s.h.i.+ro said as she sat down with Syrune who was now laying on the ground.

"Mn, if it was a while ago, I wouldn't believe that I would do this either. Perhaps the c.u.mulative years in this world have made me insane haha." Syrune laughed before coughing up some blood.

"I'll do you one favour though. I got a connection to Nyx so I can probably talk to her and see what I can do about this place." s.h.i.+ro sighed as Syrune smiled.

"Thank you."

Watching her close her eyes, s.h.i.+ro sighed and stood up.

However, just as she did this, teeth erupted out from the ground and consumed her body in an instant.

Widening her eyes, s.h.i.+ro jumped back in shock.

'Didn't I take his soul away? How is his body still moving?' s.h.i.+ro thought to herself as the Ancient Terror's body was slowly being formed where Syrune had died.

Glancing over at the pool of corruption, s.h.i.+ro could see a constant stream of purple liquid flowing towards Syrune's body.

Clicking her tongue, s.h.i.+ro activated her spirit nature and sent out a wave of cold mist to freeze the lake. But just as she did this, the ice shattered in an instant and the liquid continued to flow towards the body.

Slamming her hands into the ground, s.h.i.+or summoned the lantern.

"Explain dips.h.i.+t!" She demanded as the Ancient Terror only laughed.

"You may have taken my soul but my body of sin still lives. As long as the humans continue to sin my body is immortal. Even if you shatter my soul, it is no use!" The Ancient Terror laughed as she unsummoned her lantern in rage.

Gritting her teeth, s.h.i.+ro flicked her wrist and sent out a wave of stone spikes.

However, they only shattered on impact as the soulless Ancient Terror continued to grow in size.

*URAHHHH!!!!!

Letting out a ear shattering howl, s.h.i.+ro watched as the behemoth punched towards her with his giant fists.

Activating Ouranos' divinity, s.h.i.+ro managed to dodge but she didn't know how she could end this monster.

If what the Ancient Terror said was correct, it will continue to regenerate unless humans stop sinning which was impossible.

Narrowing her eyes, s.h.i.+ro wondered what she could do to stop this.

'Let's see if it's actually immortal.'

Summoning her spear and bow, s.h.i.+ro notched the spear onto the string.

"Error! See if you can chip away at it." s.h.i.+ro commanded as Error bounced around for a moment before wrapping around the spear.

Humming with excitement, the red circuits glowed brightly.

Narrowing her eyes, s.h.i.+ro fired the spear without hesitation.

*BANG!!!

Shattering the ground around her, s.h.i.+ro watched as her spear pierced through the air and into his body.

Exploding out into a ma.s.s of red circuits, Error started to eat away at his body but strangely enough, it seemed like he was entirely made from liquid which made it hard for Error to do anything.

Returning back to her side feeling a little down, s.h.i.+ro patted his 'head' before glancing back at the Ancient Terror.

Just as she was about to dash forward, she felt a little light headed and remembered that the pool of corruption was very poisonous for her.

"Tsk!"

Clicking her tongue, quickly backed off as the behemoth chased after her.

As she was das.h.i.+ng away, her system gave her a notification as she saw the quest change slightly.

[Seal away the Ancient Terror's Body]

From killing the Ancient Terror to sealing his body away, s.h.i.+ro understood that this was probably something Nyx didn't expect.

'Seal seal seal… I DON'T DO SEALS!' s.h.i.+ro retorted in her mind since the only time she seals something is when it is with souls. That behemoth was just a body without a soul!

Searching her memories for anything that could possibly seal this behemoth away, s.h.i.+ro paused in realisation.

"F*ck it! Nyx! I'm taking him to your prison! You can deal with it yourself!" s.h.i.+ro shouted into the sky as she started to taunt the behemoth towards the Section of Night where she had been trapped in the prison during her trial.

###

"What the h.e.l.l do you mean I can deal with it myself! It's your trial!" Nyx retorted back as she didn't know what to do with this behemoth either. It was the literal amalgamation of humanities sins in the forgotten realm so unless she killed everyone he will continue to regenerate.

Even if she sealed it away, it'll keep getting stronger so long as the people in the forgotten realm continue to exist.

"Good luck." Gaia chuckled.

"Don't give me that c.r.a.p! You help too!" Nyx gritted her teeth.

Despite her displeasure, she understood that this was beyond s.h.i.+ro so she'd need to help her out.

Shrugging her shoulders, Gaia nodded her head and proceeded to help Nyx.
