Chapter 325 - 194: Brutality (Part 2)
"Raine, you rest for a while, I’ll keep watch."
"Mm, thank you."
Raine glanced north and then south.
’The Ice Lake is approximately twice the distance from here compared to the Frostblade Fortress...’
’Now the question is whether both sides can arrive here around the same time. If they can, the plan has a high chance of success.’
’If they can’t... then I’ll have to use the follow-up plan.’
’But there’s no rush, just as well I can take this opportunity to check out the Ogre and Giant Monster Skills.’
It was at this moment that Raine finally had the chance to look into the icons of Ogres, Hill Giants, and Frost Giants in his sixteen-slot pack.
Raine first looked at the three Ogre icons but quickly shook his head slightly.
If he hadn’t acquired the Wild Boarman Lord bloodline, the Ogre bloodline before him would still be very attractive. But now, many things are repetitive.
For example, the Ogre’s ’Brute Force Lv3’ is completely inferior to ’Chief Physique.’
So, he quickly focused his attention on the Hill Giant icons.
’What a pity, not much use either.’ A minute later, Raine sighed inwardly.
However, he didn’t feel any disappointment, because the major gain this time was the ’Frost Giant Bloodline.’
According to Golden Finger Rule Two ’The stronger trait overwrites the weaker one,’ even if the Hill Giant has better traits, they will likely be overwritten by the Frost Giant bloodline.
Sure enough, when Raine checked the Frost Giant icons, a smile finally appeared on his face.
’Nice!’
First, there are 4 types of bloodline talents as follows:
Frost Giant Physique Lv3, Effect: Power +10, Constitution +8, Agility +2, gain High-level Frost Magic Resistance, Medium Poison Resistance, Medium Piercing Defense, Medium Blunt Defense.
(Note: Under current physical condition)
Thermal Imaging Vision Lv2, Effect: You ignore visual obstruction effects (like blizzard, ice fog) in darkness, snow, and icefield environments, and can clearly observe hidden targets within 50 meters.
(Note: Hidden targets must emit heat.)
Heavy Weapon Mastery Lv3, Effect: You have a natural familiarity with any heavy weapon, and damage increases by 30% when using heavy weapons; learning speed increases by 60% when learning any heavy weapon combat skills.
Frightening Dignity Lv1, Effect: When you deliberately release your own aura, a deterring effect occurs on all enemy targets with low combat willpower within a 20-meter radius.
Of course, merely observing the above four items doesn’t substantially improve Raine, the key lies in the spell-like abilities.
There are only 4 spell-like abilities:
Ice Spike Combo Lv2, Effect: Use a weapon to strike the ground, hitting all enemies in a straight line path 20 meters ahead, causing piercing and frost dual damage and applies a cold effect.
Frost Shock Lv2, Effect: While wielding a weapon, release a frost energy beam to attack a single enemy within a 20-meter range.
Frost Tremor Lv1, Effect: Stomp the ground, causing shock and frost dual damage to all enemies within a 10-meter range, hitting may stun and freeze enemies.
(Note: Stun and freeze duration affected by target’s constitution and frost resistance.)
Savagery Lv1, Effect: In a battle, after killing an enemy capable of threatening you, gains a boost of 1% increase in power and agility simultaneously for 30 seconds.
This effect can stack, stacking will refresh the time, up to 10 layers.
(Note: During Savagery duration, immune to mind-control spell-like abilities.)
Raine’s gaze quickly focused on ’Savagery Lv1.’
’Can stack up to 10 layers?’
’That means power and agility can both increase by up to 10%.’
Though Golden Finger Rule Two ’The stronger trait overwrites the weaker one,’ the spell-like ability ’Savagery’ and the trait ’Gigantification’ are not the same, based on previous experience, it won’t get overwritten.
That is to say, it can stack this Savagery effect again while in the ’Gigantification’ state.
’Impressive~’ Raine smiled.
After thinking for a while, he removed the incomplete White Dragon bloodline and replaced it with the Frost Giant bloodline.
In an instant, memories of ’Ice Spike Combo,’ ’Frost Shock,’ and ’Frost Tremor’ surged into his mind, especially the insights about the first two items flocked into his mind!
Minutes later, when Raine looked at the system panel again, he noticed it had indeed changed:
[Name: Raine]
[Class (Special): Frost Lord Lv3]
[Class Skills: Frost Shock Lv1, Ice Spike Combo Lv1, Frost Strike Lv2, Ice Shield Reflection Lv2, Frost Domain Lv2]
....
Seeing the newly added ’Frost Shock’ and ’Ice Spike Combo,’ Raine was overjoyed.
The primary mission of coming to Lankote Snowfield this time is considered complete.
"Nice, next, as long as either of the two class skills is upgraded to Lv2, I can advance to Classes Level four."
"I never thought the compatibility between Frost Giant and my class Frost Lord would be so high, the exclusive combat skills can almost be copied directly."
"If I get a chance to kill the upcoming Frost Giant Captain, wouldn’t it be...?"
"Wait, there’s still the extraordinary level Frost Giant Commander and the Frost Giant Chief who can tear apart a mature White Dragon with bare hands!"
Raine recalled the scene he just saw in that Frost Giant Borg’s mind, his eyes involuntarily revealed a look of excitement, longing, and desire.
