My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills

"Finish him!!"

With Thor’s roar, seven out of the nine Frost Giants charged at Olaf, while the other two, accompanied by more than ten Ogres, lunged toward Meredith.

"No, wait!" Olaf hadn’t even finished his sentence before a white Frost Energy beam shot out from a Frost Giant’s Bone Axe.

It was exactly the Frost Shock that Raine was familiar with!

This made Olaf feel blocked and anxious inside, with a sensation akin to ’feeling desperately thirsty after a long journey and then being fed a mouthful of urine’.

With as many as seven Frost Giants attacking simultaneously, white light exploded everywhere, mixed with occasional Frost Spikes unleashed by individual giants, leaving Olaf no chance to explain anything.

He shouted loudly, "It’s not me!" but none of the Frost Giants were willing to believe him.

For at this moment, Meredith, who was mistaken as his ally, had already killed two Ogres.

As a Transcendent, Olaf was both aggrieved and furious, and the indiscriminate attack by the Frost Giants had completely exhausted his last bit of patience.

"Damn it! A bunch of idiots!"

Olaf had initially intended to capture Meredith first, which would prove his innocence and also possibly extract information about the real mastermind behind the scenes from her.

Yet after deflecting the Battle Axe attacks from several Frost Giants, when he looked again toward the rear of the Frost Giant team, the female figure with the hood had already vanished without a trace.

This weighed heavily on his mind!

While Olaf was hesitating about whether to retreat, with a loud "clang!", a Bone Axe wielded by a Frost Giant heavily struck the Round Shield in Olaf’s hand.

However, Olaf merely took a step back, easily blocking the heavy blow.

This surprised Raine, who was observing from a distance. After all, this was a close-range attack from a Frost Giant with a Challenge Level above eight, famed for their power.

When he had blocked attacks from a Challenge Level five Hill Giant, he barely managed, laboriously.

This clearly illustrated that even if he exerted his full power, there was still a considerable gap between him and this so-called "Shield of Winter" Extraordinary Shield Warrior, Olaf.

’It seems his strength is even greater than I anticipated, likely exceeding 22 points if we use the system’s quantified standard.’

’But now that I’ve gained the Frost Giant bloodline, with the enhancement of the Frost Giant physique, coupled with the brutal effect, my power has advanced by at least four points beyond what it was before...’

’Ultimately, one can only determine the stronger through a fight!’

While Raine’s thoughts were racing, the entire Frost Giant squad had already encircled the swiftly moving Olaf completely.

The Frost Giant captain, Tollesk, was closing in quickly, striking at the opponent with a powerful axe, the white frosted air slicing through the surrounding air like an Ice Blade.

With the Frost Giant captain’s Challenge Level as high as ten, their prowess in both strength and speed far surpassed ordinary Frost Giants.

With a loud "boom!", although Olaf blocked the attack, he was sent flying backward, genuinely suffering a small loss.

This caused Olaf, who had been trying hard not to escalate the conflict, to blush with anger that became increasingly difficult to suppress!

For from the Frost Giant captain’s attack just now, it was evident the other party truly sought his life.

Olaf couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, saying, "Why don’t you idiots understand? Your enemy isn’t me!"

"Since there’s no way to communicate, I’ll have to take you all down!"

Olaf tightened his grip on his Longsword, tapped his toes on the ground, and once again charged into the midst of the Frost Giants, firmly believing that might makes right, Olaf finally began to unleash his combat power completely.

Just now, he had not targeted the lethal spots in his attacks against the Frost Giants.

But this time was different. His attacks were concentrated on weak or vital spots such as the Frost Giants’ underarms, necks, and inner thighs.

In an instant, the battle raged, and the casualties among the Frost Giants visibly increased!

In terms of power, Olaf was roughly on par with regular Frost Giants, but his speed was clearly a notch or more above.

Thus the Frost Giants’ wails, cries of pain, and furious roars were continuous, which also infuriated the Frost Giant captain Tollesk, causing Olaf to suffer significant injuries from several explosive attacks.

It was also at this time, after taking down two Ogres, Meredith had quickly retreated back.

"Fortunately, this ’Shield of Winter’ Olaf is a Low-Tier Transcendent," said Meredith softly to Raine when she returned.

"Low-Tier Transcendent?" Raine asked curiously.

"Yes," Meredith nodded slightly, "Classes Levels eleven to twelve are generally referred to as Low-Tier Transcendent. This classification originated primarily from the casters because usually, casters before Level thirteen cannot yet master Level 7 Spells. Though at Level eleven, the power of the Level 6 Spells a caster can wield is already quite terrifying."

"As for Levels thirteen to sixteen, those four levels are referred to as Mid-Tier Transcendent, while Level seventeen and above are called High-Tier Transcendent."

"I see," Raine nodded, with a look of realizing.

Before hearing Meredith’s explanation, Raine had never encountered this knowledge about Transcendents because he still had a long way to go before reaching the Transcendent level and had never checked related information in the Adventurer’s Association prior.

After listening to Meredith’s introduction, Raine had gained a conceptual understanding of Transcendents.

At this moment, Raine noticed that with the coordinated attacks of multiple Frost Giants, even though there were geothermal hot springs around, the amount of ice dust and snowflakes gradually increased, slowly covering the battlefield, while Olaf’s speed also gradually slowed down.

Could this have been a special function of the Frost Giant battle formation?

As Olaf’s speed slowed, the Frost Giant captain Tollesk seized the opportunity, striking him down with an axe, and despite the Shield Block, this blow caused Olaf some minor injuries.

However, Raine also noticed that the ancient, gilded, and vine-patterned Tower Shield in Olaf’s hand was completely unharmed.

"This shield is quite something!" Raine couldn’t help but exclaim.

Although the distance was far, the fact that the numerous Bone Axe attacks from the Frost Giants did not leave a single mark on it proves that even if this shield isn’t an Epic Level equipment, it’s likely top-tier among rare tier Magic Equipment.

Several minutes later.

The battle ended with the "Shield of Winter" Olaf taking the initiative to retreat.

Two Frost Giants were dead, two severely injured, while the others suffered more or less minor injuries; Olaf himself sustained moderate injuries, forcing him to withdraw.

This outcome naturally filled the nearby "spectator" Raine with inexplicable joy, not only having witnessed a Transcendent level clash for free but also lucky enough to observe the Frost Giant captain performing Combat Skills, gaining considerable insights.

He felt that his newly mastered Class Skills - Frost Shock lv1 and Ice Spike Combo lv1, had made slight progress forward.

It would be great if there was another battle!

Raine couldn’t help but murmur inwardly.

But he knew very well that such opportunities were unlikely to come by often, as they were hard to come by and not easily sought after.

"What do we do next?" At this moment, Meredith asked softly alongside him.

"Let’s rest for two hours, then head east, loop around, and go south to return to Mill Town," Raine replied.

Hearing this, Meredith blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Raine, and said, "I thought you were going to continue fighting the Frost Giants or deal with that ’Shield of Winter’ Olaf."

This time, it was Raine’s turn to widen his eyes, looking at Meredith in surprise, "You think too highly of me."

"Me?"

"Going to kill them?"

...

Two hours later.

Raine and Meredith got up from their hidden observation point and walked toward the east of the snowfields, however, after merely half an hour of walking, suddenly a voice came from the side:

"It was you causing trouble just now, wasn’t it?"

The familiar yet strange male voice immediately gave Raine a start, causing his hair to stand on end!

Meredith squinted her beautiful eyes and swiftly drew out the pair of Curved Swords from her waist, taking a defensive stance.
