My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills

And when Olaf rose from the frozen ground full of anger, searching all around, he found that Raine was already gone.

The feeling of being beaten and then having the opponent disappear faster than a rabbit made Olaf’s anger rise again.

"Ah!!!"

After a roar of anger, Olaf suddenly realized that the shield that should have fallen nearby was also missing.

"Damn it!!"

"My shield!!!"

Although the gold-plated tower shield wasn’t an epic magic equipment, it was the equipment that made Olaf famous. At least half of the title "Shield of Neverwinter" came from this shield.

After cursing for several minutes, the biting blizzard hit his face painfully, and the cold gradually calmed Olaf’s anger.

At this moment, his physical condition was indeed not good, and he was somewhat worried that if he stayed here, the frost giants might trouble him later?

After thinking about it, although unwilling, Olaf could only turn around angrily, braving the snowstorm, and quickly heading towards the Ice Lake area.

He planned to leave here first, and then find a place with thicker ice to dig a hole to rest.

Tomorrow, he would return to the Ice Lake and meet with the Secret Master Salno before making plans.

...

In the sky.

Raine held Meredith again, feeling the faint lilac fragrance from her and the warmth in his hands, in a good mood.

Meanwhile, Meredith curiously examined the shield in her hands, tapped it with her slender finger, and praised it after hearing the dull sound:

"It seems to be an ancient dwarf-made shield, with some mithril, and... star iron. Very precious."

Hearing Meredith’s words, Raine’s eyes widened with surprise, exclaiming: "Did you just say star iron?"

"Yes, there’s definitely star iron in it. Raine, look, this is the Viss Tiden pattern. If I’m not mistaken, that’s the mark indicating the addition of star iron."

"Viss Tiden pattern?"

Raine, looking puzzled, followed Meredith’s slender fingers to see the shield’s surface covered with dense marble-like patterns.

"Hmm, and one of the characteristics of equipment with added star iron is that it’s very light. Don’t believe me? Try it." With that, Meredith handed the gold-plated tower shield to Raine.

Raine held Meredith’s light body with one hand and took the tower shield with the other.

Upon holding it, Raine’s expression changed!

Sure enough.

By rights, such a large tower shield made even with the most ordinary iron materials would weigh more than a hundred pounds, but the weight in his hand was only thirty to forty pounds, very light!

Does that mean the shield’s composition basically confirms star iron?

This made Raine incredibly happy, feeling an instant of joyful surprise, like finding a dirty coin on the road, wiping it clean only to discover it’s a gold coin!

The star iron, which troubled him greatly, was unexpectedly solved just like that.

Raine couldn’t help but think of the shield’s owner—Olaf.

’Who would have thought this thick-browed and big-eyed guy is such a nice person!’

However, Raine quickly thought of something else, frowning slightly, murmuring: "But if there’s a tracking magic on the shield, it could be troublesome..."

Upon hearing this, Meredith’s thin lips curved slightly, her beautiful eyes squinting into a smile: "Leave it to me. I can use a Third Level Spell to dispel magic."

"Hmm?" Raine looked at Meredith in surprise.

"I haven’t mastered much magic, only one Fourth Level, you know, it’s ’Free Movement’."

"There are three Third Level Spells, one is ’Dispel Magic’, one is ’Moonlight Beam’, and another one you’ve seen me use before, ’Solidification Spell’. As for Second Level, there’s ’Song of Curse’, ’Invisibility Spell’, and ’Nestu Magic Radiance’..."

After listening to Meredith’s introduction, Raine had a more comprehensive understanding of the combat power of the cold and elegant drow elf in his arms.

It wasn’t that they were unfamiliar; on the contrary, the acceleration of their familiarity from strangers was quite rare!

In fact, many adventurers, even if they know each other for several years and are in the same adventurer squad, would still hardly confide in each other without experiencing multiple joint adventures and training.

So, that’s why it’s crucial for a Silver Squad or even stronger Gold-level adventurer squad to train their reserve adventurers.

This is a significant reason among many.

For Silver-level adventurers, the transcendent level, it’s never wise to replace a member by finding someone from outside if something goes wrong.

Because you never know whether the person you find from the outside is good or bad.

Unless the person has a high reputation or is well-known in a particular area, but such a person probably already has their own team, and without special circumstances, they won’t easily join another unfamiliar team.

A half-hour later.

The two hid from the blizzard in an ice crevice on the western ice field.

Since Laisa was not around, both Raine and Meredith took out their rations, warmed them slightly with magic, and started eating.

Raine took this opportunity to carefully examine the ancient shield in his hand.

Although Olaf’s shield wasn’t epic level equipment, it was undoubtedly a top-notch rare shield, far better than his Obsidian Defender.

However, Raine knew very well that using this shield while adventuring would be like lighting a 100-watt bulb on himself in the dark, announcing to everyone—’Look, I have Olaf’s shield!’

Anyone who saw him use it, in Mill Town or elsewhere, would quickly spread the word among adventurers.

So, Raine never intended to keep this shield for personal use.

Moreover, compared to the shield, he was more concerned with repairing his warhammer.

Thinking of this, Raine glanced at the Counterattacker in his hand, noticing the cracks on the hammerhead had widened slightly, evidently from the intense battle earlier that had further decreased the war hammer’s durability.

Raine was even worried that the next time its third special effect was triggered, the warhammer might completely shatter, and he couldn’t imagine how much mithril and star iron it would take to repair it.

Gazing at the shield, Raine quickly refocused on the sixteen-slot bag.

He saw the icon of three frost giants prominently displayed, and with another in the bloodline slot, he now had four frosty giant icons.

’The power of a regular frost giant equals that of a Wild Boarman Lord.’

’How powerful would they be after fusion?’

Thinking this, Raine couldn’t help feeling excited, eager, and expectant.

Without much hesitation, he immediately began the fusion.

[Cannot empower four same-level bloodlines. Fusion: Yes/No?]

"Yes!"

Raine promptly chose ’Yes’ without hesitation!

The next moment.

The four identical frost giant warrior icons twisted and blurred, and then the latter three icons disappeared instantly.

The frost giant image in the first bloodline slot became increasingly imposing, taller, and stronger, with a longer beard, a more exquisite leather helmet, and armor, decorated with more white bone pieces.

When Raine focused on the new icon, the words ’Frost Giant Captain’ floated in his mind.

’It’s indeed captain-level!’

Raine was overjoyed!

If he remembered correctly, a Frost Giant Captain was a challenge level ten monster, and in terms of combat strength, equaled a newly transcended human warrior.

’It means this is my first monster bloodline comparable to transcendent power.’

After spending a few minutes surveying, a broad smile spread across Raine’s face.
