Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 556 Prison Break



Disguising her appearance, she went around asking about more information in regard to this rumour.

Surprisingly, no one knew his name since he never met any of his customers. He only had them send him an order slip and he'll make it for them with the correct payment.

'Do you think it's because Helion didn't want them to see his class? Hephaestus' Chosen isn't exactly a common class after all.' Shiro asked curiously.

{Perhaps. But we're not even sure if it's Helion yet. It could just be just a coincidence.} Nimue shrugged.

'True.'

Asking around for his location with a multitude of appearances thanks to her disguise skill, she was able to get a rough idea of where he was being held prisoner.

Looking up into the sky, she saw that it would still take another hour or before the sunset.

'I should be able to break him out of prison quite easily.' Shiro thought to herself and walked into an alley.

Changing her appearances just in case she was seen, she started to dash across the rooftops. Her current appearance was that of a common looking girl with black hair. Using her nanobots, she created herself a stealth suit of sorts that would assist her in this infiltration.

After all, if she hid her mana signals while being invisible thanks to this suit, none of the guards would be able to find her.

Landing on a nearby roof to the spot where the blacksmith was being held, Shiro glanced at the number of guards surrounding the place.

'Hmm… we got four towers with bowmen overlooking the entire place.' She furrowed her brows and activated her skill, analysis.

Looking at the formations littered around the place, she could help but sigh softly. All of these formations were hidden neatly and if it wasn't for her analysis skill, it would have been quite tough for her to avoid all of these.

Making herself a few needles, she threw them towards some of the formations so that she could create a small opening for her to slip by.

Tapping her wrist, the nanobots on the surface of her suit started to pulse as her figure was soon erased from sight.

Stealthily making her way past the small openings that she had created, Shiro climbed above one of the watchtowers. Since they were looking down at the place, they wouldn't expect an intruder to be above them.

However, it was a little difficult since Shiro didn't want to use mana to climb or else her position would be compromised. Instead, she used her physical strength and timed her ascension so that they wouldn't notice her.

Sitting on the roof of the watchtower, she removed a piece of her suit and threw it into the air.

Morphing into a small fly, Shiro had it fly through the entire courtyard so that it could map out the area for her.

As the fly made its way around the buildings, a 3d map started to appear in Shiro's mind.

'Hmm… this is quite a large compound. Four watchtowers on the outside, a main building in the centre with several storage buildings surrounding the main building. The main building has around 27 floors above ground already as for the underground, there are around 30 floors and each floor branches out like the roots of a tree.' Shiro thought to herself with a frown.

Controlling the fly with her suit, she could see that the underground floors were specialised forging rooms for those that work under special conditions. As for the ones above the floors, they're the common forging rooms along with a few trading rooms. The top floor of the building was reserved for the boss of this place but Shiro didn't want to alert the leader just in case he was someone higher than level 300.

'Hmm… There's no sign of a prison. Perhaps it's deeper underground.'

Having the fly scan the underground floors thoroughly, she was able to finally locate the prison. Placed on the 28th floor, the entire prison was under a high level formation that stopped any visitors unless they had permission. In addition to this formation, it even had several high level guards watching the entrance.

If she wanted to enter the prison, she'd need to take out quite a few guards in order to do so. After all, they wouldn't be generous enough to watch her break the formation.

'A little troublesome but it's not too bad. If it turns out the prisoner wasn't Helion, I can just leave with my Rift Strider. If it is Helion, I can also just leave with Rift Strider but this time with an escort target.'

Standing up, she jumped off the roof and landed against the ground softly.

Dashing towards the main building, she avoided anyone that would be in her way. Thankfully, she didn't need to worry too much since she was camouflaged thanks to her suit.

Glancing over at her map, she navigated towards the staircase and started to make her way down to the 28th underground floor. There were a few close calls with the guards but she was able to avoid them at the last moment.

Arriving at the prison block, she could see a total of four guards standing near the door. However, she knew that this wasn't all of them. Narrowing her eyes, she flared her mana slightly so that she could draw their attention.

Feeling a sudden pulse of mana nearby, the three of the four guards immediately sprang to action and dashed towards where they had felt the pulse. With one guard waiting behind, Shiro noticed that he seemed to be glancing towards a few points of the room before nodding his head.

'Seems like there are a few assassin's hidden around the place.' Shiro thought to herself and activated her analysis skill for a split second.

That way, she could spot their location without exposing herself too much.

'Five assassins.'

Quickly moving from her spot, she dashed towards where she had seen the assassins. Flickering behind the first assassin, she pierced his neck with one of her needles and sent a controlled shock through his body, knocking him out.

With the first assassin dealt with, the others naturally discovered his body due to the cancellation of stealth.

Before they could even shout, Shiro threw needles towards each of them and sent out the same shock to knock them out. Those that were better prepared managed to parry the needles but had to deal with Shiro instead.

Knocking out all the assassin's and guards, Shiro swiped her hand across the surface of the formation and started to edit it slightly to give herself permission.

Opening the door without any problems. She was greeted with rows upon rows of cells. There were quite a few prisoners held here as Shiro ignored them and walked past all the cells.

While this was happening, the prisoners were slightly surprised to see the door open without anyone and thought that this was a chance to escape.

Slamming their chains against the bars, they tried their best to break out but their efforts were fruitless. After all, there were mana restricting formations in their cells so that they couldn't muster up sufficient strength.

Ignoring the commotion behind her, she looked at each of the cells and frowned when she couldn't find anyone that resembled Helion.

'Seems like I was wr- wait a minute.' Noticing something mid-thought, Shiro crouched down and pressed her hand against the floor.

Since she was already making trouble, it wouldn't matter if she flared her mana a few more times.

Activating her analysis skill once more, she started to map out the area once again. This time, she found a giant pit of sorts with a single man chained at the very bottom. The sheer amount of defensive formations around this man was impressive as it was more powerful than the one protecting these cells.

However, this didn't bother her.

After all, she could tell that the man below her was Helion.

Pulling her arm back, she punched against the ground.

*BANG!!!!

Cracking the floor, the hidden cell door was forcefully broken.

Jumping down, she sent out tens of daggers to cancel out each of the defensive formations.

With this, the entire place was notified of her intrusion but her goal was achieved.

"Seems like you've been quite busy since the last time I had seen you, Helion." Shiro said with a smile as she removed her camouflage. 

Landing in front of the chained man, she could see his injured body.

"Shiro." Helion smiled weakly at the girl in front of him.
