Chapter 107 - 99: Return to Oak Village Again (2)

’Did these Monster Skills get integrated into the Class Skills?’

As soon as he saw Frost Strike, Raine remembered the Frost Blade Leopard’s claw imbued with Frost Power, and this Ice Shield Reflection was undoubtedly some blend of Ice Crystal Mirror and Shield.

The essence of it all comes from the techniques of frost-type monsters.

Additionally, Ice Shield Reflection resembles a simplified version of the Ice Crystal Mirror.

Although its power is somewhat diminished, only able to reflect Third Level Spell attacks and below, similarly, the Spiritual Power consumption is reduced significantly.

In Raine’s view, this makes it much more practical than the Ice Crystal Mirror.

For the Ice Crystal Mirror, which is comparable to Third Level Spell, although it can reflect Fifth Level Spells, the Spiritual Power consumption is astonishingly high, too overwhelming for him — it can hardly be used twice in one battle, whereas the Ice Shield Reflection is completely different.

’No wonder the effect of the Ice Crystal Mirror was better at attracting that shadow compared to the Third Level Spell ’Snow Rainstorm.’’

Raine recalled before and immediately realized.

"From this perspective, my exclusive Combat Skills are essentially a reproduction of Monster Skills!" With a slight thought, Raine sighed with emotion.

Restraining his drifting thoughts, Raine continued to review the last item:

Frost Domain lv1, effect: Within a ten-meter radius around yourself, you can designate an enemy you have slain to appear in a semi-transparent Ice Spirit (as a mere shadow) form, thereby enhancing your aura, with a certain chance to intimidate hostile targets.

’Frost Domain... intimidation?’

For some reason, Raine always felt that this third exclusive Combat Skill had an unfinished quality.

Suddenly, as if grasping an insight, Raine looked again at the three exclusive Combat Skills, and a thought emerged in his mind:

’This Special Class ’Frost Lord’ does not even show the terms like ’Frost Shield Guard’ or ’Frost Shield Hammer Warrior’, which include shield and hammer characters, but rather emphasizes frost greatly.’

’No wonder it’s called Frost Lord!’

At this moment, Raine’s peripheral vision also noted that all his attributes underwent a massive change as he transitioned to the Frost Lord:

[Blessed Bloodline: Bloodline of Counter-attacking Ice Spirit ×1, Wild Boar Warrior Bloodline ×1, Giant Bloodsucking Bat Leader Bloodline ×1, Gray Dwarven Bloodline ×1]

....

[Power: 7 (+2.7)]

[Agility: 7 (+0.8)]

[Constitution: 7 (+2.7)]

[Intelligence: 9 (+2)]

[Perception: 6 (+1.8)]

[Charm: 6]

"Did all attributes increase by one? No, except for Intelligence."

"Intelligence increased by two points."

Without the Frost Blade Leopard Bloodline, the increase in agility still comes from the Giant Bloodsucking Bat Leader Bloodline.

But evidently, it seems that because the bloodline level isn’t high enough, after Raine’s promotion to the Special Class Frost Lord, the blessing effect has weakened somewhat.

With a thought, Raine lifted his Cold Steel Warhammer, and as he silently recited ’Frost Strike’ in his mind, a not-so-dazzling blue-white energy instantly enveloped the Cold Steel Warhammer surface.

Raine casually swung it towards the rock wall. With a ’bang,’ debris crumbled down, and simultaneously a sheet of white ice spread rapidly outward from the point of impact, accompanied by a chill.

’It is indeed Frost Damage...’ Raine’s eyes brightened.

"But more importantly, the consumption of Spiritual Power is truly low!"

Subsequently, Raine tried Frost Strike a few more times, and then Ice Shield Reflection.

He realized that the major difference between exclusive Class Skills and ordinary spells is their remarkably low Spiritual Power consumption, roughly one-tenth of normal spells.

With the strength of his Spiritual Power after the promotion, he could cast Ice Shield Reflection seven or eight times in a single battle, and as for Frost Strike, dozens or even hundreds of times.

The boost to combat power is enormous!

...

Upon seeing Raine emerge from the cave once again, Regina and the others were instantly stunned!

Because at this moment, the concentrated aura emanating from their captain was completely different from before he entered the cave.

Compared to those Black Iron Level Adventurers loitering on the second floor of the Adventurer’s Hall, the answer became immediately apparent...

"Did the captain become an Official Mage?"

"Oh my god! Did this goblin prove so useful?"

Everyone glanced at each other, finding it hard to believe.

Elise blinked her large eyes, immediately beaming like a crescent moon.

"Mr. Rein, congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Raine nodded slightly, smiling at Elise.

After receiving another wave of compliments from Regina and the others, Raine led the group back onto the large carriage, preparing to return to Mill Town.

...

On the large carriage.

Suddenly, as if reminded of something, Raine turned his head to Regina beside him, asking, "Oak Village should be not far from here, right?"

"About thirty to forty miles, quite near." Regina immediately answered.

"Mm, let’s visit."

"Of course." Hearing Raine’s words, Regina and the others glanced at each other, nodding enthusiastically.

For them, by now they were already thoroughly impressed with Raine.

Moreover, in this mission, aside from killing a few patrolling goblins on the way to the nest, they truly did nothing of note.

The battle inside the nest was solely handled by their captain, Raine.

The only mildly arduous task was when the chill had not yet dissipated from within the nest, and they were cutting off goblin ears and searching for loot, which left their hands and feet nearly numb from the cold.

Otherwise, it was overwhelmingly easy.

In other words, Raine as the captain led them to make a fortune.
