Chapter 89 - 88: Magic Wrapped in the Skin of a Monster Skill

For Raine, it was mostly an increase in trust toward Laisa.

After all, if the other party truly had any ulterior motives, that moment when he stepped forward would have been the best opportunity.

And now, the imposing Frost Blade Leopard icon in the sixteen-slot bag seems to be the reward for trusting Miss Assassin and cooperating fully.

However, when Laisa looked at Raine again, her lips twitched twice, and she couldn’t help but say:

"Raine, you truly are a monster!"

"I’m curious about what you’ll be like once you truly become one of the Classes."

"Actually, I’m quite curious too!" Raine chuckled.

Reflecting on the recent battle, if he didn’t have the support of Monster Skills, if he didn’t have the ’Spider Web Spell’ from the Deep Moss Spider, ’Gigantification’ from the Gray Dwarves, ’Barbaric Charge’ and ’Thick Hide’ from the Wild Boar Warrior...

Even if he diligently practiced combat skills, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to slay the Frost Blade Leopard.

In fact, he couldn’t even withstand the Frost Blade Leopard’s first move—the enhanced Ice Blade!

Thus, Raine’s thoughts were becoming clearer at this moment.

He needs to change classes quickly, enhancing his own power by significantly boosting his base attributes, thereby gaining more frequent release of Monster Skills. Meanwhile, he should continue hunting stronger monster bloodlines for augmentation, achieving a rapid snowball effect in his strength!

At this moment, Elise also came running over quickly from behind, face full of anxiety, saying: "Mr. Rein, Miss Laisa, how are you two?"

While speaking, Elise hurriedly looked over the two.

"I’m fine." Raine shook his head.

Besides fatigue, he had no significant injuries.

Although the Frost Armor Spell from the Frost Blade Leopard had a frost backlash, because he had choked the Frost Blade Leopard and plunged into the geothermal hot spring,

The backlash lasted barely a second, and the power of frost was dispersed by the hot water of the geothermal spring, so it didn’t risk forming frostbite.

However, Raine glanced down at the plate armor chest plate. At this moment, there was a noticeable claw mark, nearing a cut almost through the heavy plate armor.

’Luckily, with Elise’s support, I made a concentrated effort to upgrade the equipment in Dorne City. Otherwise, if it were Chain Armor, it’s likely...’

’It seems the cost on this equipment absolutely cannot be spared in the future.’

"Not too much of an issue. Miss Elise, your Dispelling Spell was very timely." Laisa indicated with a gesture, besides some wounds from resisting Ice Blades, frostbite did not appear.

Moreover, the wounds from the shattered ice were mostly healed thanks to the timely use of the Healing Potion given by Elise earlier.

Speaking of this, the wounds caused by the ice shards had an advantage, there’s no need to dig into the wounds to remove fragments. The ice shards quickly melt from body heat, turning into ice water and flowing out.

"Ah! Miss Laisa, let me heal you." Elise came forward to carefully inspect Laisa’s injuries.

Feeling guilty for not mastering the Remote Healing Spell ’Healing Truth Mantra,’ Elise, even after providing Healing Potions to Raine and Laisa, still felt somewhat uneasy.

Especially when in the recent battle, she essentially performed one Dispelling Spell and it ended.

Indeed, this was the case.

Excluding the moment Raine choked the Frost Blade Leopard and entered the geothermal hot spring, the battle lasted mere tens of seconds.

Taking advantage of Elise’s process of healing Laisa.

With a heart full of excitement, Raine couldn’t wait to replace the Deep Moss Spider bloodline with the Frost Blade Leopard bloodline, while inwardly sighing:

’Although it was filled with twists and turns, at least the Frost Blade Leopard bloodline is now mine!’

And as the Frost Blade Leopard icon lit up, both the Talent Ability and Spell-like Abilities on the panel underwent an exhilarating change for Raine.

Firstly, three new Talent Abilities appeared.

The first is Frost Affinity Level 3: When you cast any Ice Spell, its power increases by thirty percent; when learning any Ice Spell, the learning speed is accelerated by sixty percent.

"Finally, it’s mine!"

"Wait, how come it’s Level 3 Frost Affinity?" Raine’s eyes widened in surprise.

But soon, Raine understood.

"Makes sense, the Mutation Goblin’s challenge level barely reaches one, while the Frost Blade Leopard is a solid Level 3 demon. The span between them clearly isn’t just one level of difference."

"It’s worth all the effort of slaying a Frost Blade Leopard."

"Level 3 Frost Affinity, maybe in just a few days, or even sooner, I’ll fully master the Freezing Ray?"

"Once mastered, the condition for changing classes will be fulfilled...."

Then, with a joyful expression, Raine set his sights on the second item.

Cold Resistance (Passive) Level 3: Your resistance to cold increases, any Ice Spell damage is reduced by thirty percent, any cold or extreme cold effects are weakened by sixty percent.

"Resistance?" Raine’s eyes lit up.

This was his second time seeing bloodline talent related to resistance, the previous being in Winged Kobold’s bloodline with Flame Resistance Level 1.

However, the resistance from the Frost Blade Leopard is naturally much stronger than that of Winged Kobold, reaching Level 3.

"Thirty percent reduction in ice spell damage?"

"Strengthened resistance to coldness greatly?"

No wonder, the icy wind on the icefield now felt like a gentle breeze on Raine’s face.

"If that’s the case, hunting Frost Blade Leopard in the future will weaken their attacks on me significantly." Raine frowned thoughtfully as something crossed his mind.
