Chapter 392 Aftermath of Destruction
writer:I've Become A Snow Girl?      update:2022-07-29 13:06
  While the people of Tokyo were being shocked at the destruction caused, Shiro’s body was currently shivering on the roof of the tower. Having discharged such a huge body of mana in an instant, there was no way that she was going to come out of the situation unscathed.

  All of her nanotech had been completely fried and reduced to dust.

  Activating her skill rejuvenation, her body was repaired back to its peak while she sat down and took a moment to calm down.

  "Damn…… despite my preparations, I still needed to use rejuvenation huh?" Shiro muttered while looking down on her hands.

  Attempting to clutch her hand, it seemed like there was still some delay due to the damage that she had suffered but it should be repaired soon.

  Standing up, she looked over the edge of the tower and saw the huge craters that were scattered throughout Tokyo. Each one was present at where one of the shrines would be and she could no longer feel mana being drawn towards their locations which meant that they had managed to resolve the situation well enough.

  {Shiro.} Nimue called out seriously.

  ’What is it?’


  {We need to talk; how do you know about ancient spirit language? Only some of the oldest members of the spirit race know about this.} Nimue asked.

  ’You see, back in my first life, our researchers had translated a large portion of the spirit’s language. As for this being the ’ancient’ type, I’m not too sure. All I did was piece together some translations and use it to empower my spell.’ Shiro replied.

  {Hmm…… where did you even live in your first life? I don’t understand how the ancient spirit language could be so easily learnt.} Nimue scratched her head in confusion.

  ’Well there are still mysteries in regards to the worlds so we can’t say much about the colorations. But for now, let’s just wait and see no?’ Shiro replied with a smile.

  {Mn, true.} Nimue nodded.

  Focusing her mind back to reality, Shiro looked at her system notifications since she had received quite a few the moment she used the skill.

  [Skill: Ancient Spirit Casting discovered.]

  [Due to your achievements, the titan goddess of stars – Asteria, has noticed your presence.]

  [Received passive skill: Asteria’s Blessing]

  [Asteria’s Blessing – By using her true name in a cast, you can heavily empower any star type spell you cast.]

  [Due to Asteria’s Blessing, Star Gazer’s Bow has received an upgrade.]

  [Star Gazer’s Bow (Orange) –> Asteria’s Embrace (Orange+)]

  [User has created a new mass destruction spell, as you have not named the skill, the system shall grant one for you.]

  [Skill – Wrath of Stars – created.]

  Raising her eyebrows at the notifications, Shiro wondered what kind of change the bow had received after getting an upgrade by the Titan Goddess of Stars.

  [Asteria’s Embrace (Orange+)]

  Matches Owner Level – Current Level: 100

  +20,000 Attack

  +20,000 Armour Pierce

  +15,000 Magic Attack

  +15,000 Attack Speed

  +10,000 Ignore Defence

  +40% Critical Chance

  +40% Critical Damage

  +80% Damage when using a star type element

  +60% Suppression against dark type enemies and elements

  Skills: Star Gazer, Asteria’s Might, Goddess’s Blessing, Bow of Stars.

  Star Gazer: The power of this bow is increased proportionate to the amount of stars the user can see. In day time, you lose access to multi target attacks but it is instead replaced by a single powerful shot that takes a while to fire again.

  Asteria’s Might: Upon using this bow in a spell cast that involves the use of the goddess’s true name, the attack will be duplicated and a second volley would be sent out.

  Goddess’s Blessing: Each attack will be enhanced with the divine attribute and deal massive damage to anything with a dark element.

  Bow of Stars: Should the bow receive damage, it can slowly repair itself under the starlight.

  Soul Bound: Shiro

  Looking at the stats of the bow, Shiro couldn’t help but want to recycle it just to see if she could take those skills as they are quite amazing. Especially the Star Gazer passive that had received an upgrade since she now has access to a single powerful shot in the day. Previously, the bow’s stats would be weaker in the day but that is no longer a problem.

  Not only that, Asteria’s might was quite an impressive skill as well. With this, she could duplicate any attack as long as she uses Asteria’s name in a chant.

  Storing the bow away, Shiro turned on her transmitter.

  "Keiko, is anyone hurt in the attack?" Shiro asked-

  Yeah, but Shiro, when you said the destruction that comes after your skill is a little troublesome, I expected something mild and maybe ending with just the destruction of the shrines. You never told me that you’ll construct a city wide magic array to completely ERASE the area round the shrines. Sure we can repair the ground but what about the houses?- Keiko massaged her eyes.

  ". . .Oops~?"-

  OOPS MY ASS! I swear, despite your amnesia, some parts of you haven’t changed at all- Keiko chuckled.

  "Well it should be ok now since I’ve managed to stop the summoning. I won’t be able to help if they manage to resummon though." Shiro shrugged-

  That’s fine. I doubt they’ll be dumb enough to try this sh*t again since I’m still here. If I had helped out in breaking one of the magic circles, they might try again since that means I can’t assist. But with me taking charge, whatever they summon is useless so their best option is to just give up for now. But do you know the amount of sh*t I need to do after tonight?-

  "How much?"-

  I need to first give an explanation, organise a conference, explain why I broke one of the rules set out by the agreement of every big guild in regards to using a huge spell like that in the city and hide your existence. Yuki did say that there is someone targeting you so I should cover your existence as much as possible-

  "I see…… sorry for the trouble I suppose." Shiro chuckled-

  Oh please, we both know you felt satisfied with that- Keiko replied-

  But I’m glad that despite this memory loss, there are still parts of you that won’t change regardless-

  Hearing the connection end, Shiro’s smile faded away.

  Staying silent, she couldn’t help but feel an awful feeling rising up in her heart.

  "Kuromi ah Kuromi, do you know how sh*tty it is to take your place and lie to everyone who knew and loved you?" Shiro muttered since she knew that Kuromi’s spirit was listening.

  Shaking her head, she stood up from her spot and activated her disguise.

  After all, it would be quite awkward if someone saw her face now.

  ###

  Looking at the destruction caused upon the shrines, the current group leader of the Black Monarchy frowned in annoyance.

  "Why was there someone who knew of the spell in Tokyo? The only one that should have known is b*stard Nan Tian from that sect and some of his followers. I doubt the information was spread anywhere else." He questioned the ones closest to him.

  "We…… don’t know. From our spies in the faction, it seemed like the faction master had been reunited with someone she knew and had spent the day with them. Maybe they’re the cause?"

  "Hmm…… perhaps. There is also the chance that they’re part of this sect. We’ll retreat for now and report back to the leader. With the hero still around, anything we summon would be killed before it even gets a chance to run amok. We’ll have to choose a different city to summon her highness’s avatar." The man shook his head and left the area with his followers.

  ###

  The next day, the entire city of Tokyo was filled with cries of anger as their homes had been destroyed in the attack. Despite Keiko’s explanation and the promise of repair, there were still cries of outrage.

  Some had even wanted to capitalise on the situation and get more than what they had deserved. Naturally, this had annoyed the hell out of a few of the faction members since the f*ckers are trying to reap rewards despite not doing anything. They were the ones busting their asses off trying to rescue everyone within that short period of 5 minutes. Had they been slow in their evacuation, there would have been human casualties in the accident.

  Keiko had the urge to lash out at the people since Shiro was the one who saved them but Shiro only held her back and shook her head.

  While the public relations weren’t going too well, there had been another hot topic on the net.

  Who was the one that fired the skill? Who was able to create such a delicate array? Despite some researchers checking out the recorded footage and the details of the array, they weren’t able to figure out why it had so much damage upon activation.

  It should have destroyed the shrines with some debris left over but instead, it had consumed an entire chunk of land which was simply absurd.

  But the woman in question didn’t really care about their analysis of her spell since she knew the secret lay in the secondary array on the arrow along with the spirit language. Unless they were next to her, they wouldn’t have found out.
