For the next few days, Shiro continued the process of sending out berserk nanobots into the lab while saving some of the children.
After explaining their situation to the villagers, they were quite accepting of them. But the children were still a little traumatised so she had built them a separate building for them to all live together.
As for her nanobot enhancement, her progress slowed down a lot since the security increased within the labs.
She had tried to keep her tracks as subtle as possible but it was only natural for them to become suspicious at all the failures.
On the fifth day, her enhancement had finally reached 100%.
Sitting on a sofa within her own house in the underground base, Shiro looked at her system with a smile.
“Now then, I haven’t found any more pieces of the research volumes within the last few days but this should help me powerup quite a bit.” She muttered with a smile.
Pressing the yes button for whether or not she wanted to evolve her nanobots, she waited in excitement.
[Stage 1 requirements fulfilled. Nanobots are undergoing evolution.]
[Second Main Class: Nanomancer, will now class up to Ex Ranked Class Ascendant Nanomancer.]
[May user survive the challenge of having two main classes.]
“Wait what?” Widening her eyes at the last notification, Shiro wondered why it hoped that she would survive the result of having two main classes.
However, before she could theorize some solutions, a bone shattering pain spread through her body.
“GAHHHH!!!!!!” Despite her huge pain tolerance, Shiro couldn’t help but scream out in pain.
It was as if the nanobots were chewing through her bone marrow and slowly grinding her body to dust.
Kneeling heavily on the ground, Shiro tried to suppress her scream but to no avail.
*Drip drip drip drip*
“Ug!!!”
Blood started to drip out from her eyes as they became bloodshot.
Looking at her arms, she could see her veins pulsing slightly while nanobots spread out from her palms and started to eat away at the ground.
{My queen!} Nimue cried out in shock from the mana realm. Materialising herself, she tried to help Shiro up only to be attacked by her nanobots.
“Sss!” Taking a sharp breath of pain, Nimue was shocked that her arm was eaten within a short moment. She tried to regenerate it but it was no use.
“It’s fine! Get back into my mana realm, I’ll deal with this.” Shiro squeezed out while her body trembled.
Curling herself into a foetal position, she tried to stop her body from trembling.
‘F*ck! Could you at least warn me that I’ll be feeling this much pain rather than just hoping that I’ll survive!’ Shiro cursed out in her mind.
*TSSSSS!!!
A searing sound could be heard as she suddenly felt pain in her eyes.
“GAH!!!”

Suddenly losing all of her sight, Shiro had the urge to claw her eyes out to stop the pain.
If Aarim was here, she would be able to see that Shiro’s true nature had been watching her with narrowed eyes.
-Survive… We’ve got so many enemies to torture and kill. They need their internals ruptured and pulled out from their bodies. Their eyes gouged out and crushed. Their mana links shattered like how they did with mine. Survive so that you can carry out both of our hatreds.-
The villagers naturally heard Shiro’s painful cries as they crowded around her house.
“Should we… go inside?” One of the villagers asked with worry.
“Of course we should. That’s a dumb question!” Geral, Shiro’s father, retorted while trying to open the door of Shiro’s house.
Looking at each other, the villagers nodded their heads and tried to help him force open the door.
However, no matter what they did, it didn’t work. Looking around, they decided to try to break her windows instead.
Unfortunately, their attempt to break the window resulted in a failure as it would not shatter no matter what.
“Damn it!” Geral shouted out while punching the window with all his strength.
“Geral!” Amanda called out in worry after seeing his fists draw blood.
“Amanda, can’t you hear her pain? Despite the fact that we’ve only been with her for a short amount of time, she feels close to us. Each cry of hers is like a dagger to my heart. It’s the same feeling I had when you and Nytri were chased by the bandits. It’s hard to bear!” Geral cried out while punching the window once more.
Amanda stayed silent since she felt the same. It was as if their family had expanded by one. While she was out often, they would wait in anticipation for her safe return. Each time she came back with children that she had saved, they would feel an indescribable feeling of pride.
They wished that if Nytri grew up, she would be like Shiro. Strong and dependable. Someone with a heart to save others and not drunk on her own strength.
Just as they were about to continue their attempts on the window, Shiro’s screams stopped.
“It’s over?”
“Someone get a ladder so we can have a look at the second floor!” Geral shouted out. With the silence, it could mean two things. Either she was fine or that she had died so she could no longer scream.
Gritting his teeth, he hoped that it was just him overthinking it.

When they finally brought over the ladder, Geral grabbed it and placed it against the window. Climbing up as quickly as he could, he looked into the room, hoping that Shiro was ok.
“How is it?” Amanda called out in worry.
“. . .” Geral stayed silent as he was shocked at the sight.
The entire room was trashed and coated with blood. Within the middle of the room, Shiro laid in a puddle of her own blood.
“Someone get a drill or something! Help me crack this window open!”

“Urg…” Groaning in pain, Shiro tried to open her eyes but realised that she could hardly move her body.
{My queen! You’re awake!} Nimue cried out in relief.
‘What happened?’ Shiro asked in confusion. The last thing she remembered was that she had accepted the upgrade. After that, she was wrecked by a huge pain and that was it.
{You passed out after the pain was too much for you my queen.}
‘I see… is that why I can’t move right now?’
{Indeed. Your body is slowly recovering due to the damage that the nanobots had caused. I don’t know why but your recovery speed had slowed down a lot. Normally, you would have been healed a week ago.}
‘A week? How long have I slept for?’
{10 days.}
’10 days huh? I suppose the upgrade must be successful then.’ Shiro sighed tiredly. Even now, she could still feel her body crying out in pain but it was bearable now.
Focusing her mind, she tried to manipulate her mana so that she could heal her body with Life Fire.
Thankfully, with her control of mana, she was able to do this despite the fact that her body was entirely immobile.
After a short while, she could finally move her fingers.
Once she could move her body to a decent degree, she forced open her eyes and flinched from the light.
“Tch.” Clicking her tongue in annoyance, turned her head slowly and looked around.
“So I’m in my own room.” She muttered and forced herself to sit up.
Looking down on her body, she noticed that she was dressed entirely in bandages from head to toe.
However, there was one thing that stole her attention more than others.
‘Is my b.r.e.a.s.ts a B cup or a C cup?’ She thought while placing a hand on her b.r.e.a.s.ts.
Realising that they were real, and widened her eyes in a mixture of surprise and joy.
“Holy f*ck did I finally become an a.d.u.l.t again!?”
Quickly standing up, she flinched from the pain but made her way to the bathroom.

Looking at the mirror, she saw her new body and was delighted.
She was around 5ft 7 and had a rather curvy body. She still had her ice white hair but her complexion had become rosier.
However, her eyes had changed the most. Previously, her pupils were pure black but now, they were pinkish purple with blood red circuit patterns in the pupils.
“How strange…” She muttered. Now that she knew she had matured. She noticed that her voice wasn’t as high pitched as before.
Glancing at her status board, she checked out her new upgrades.
