My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills

If it was before obtaining the Frost Giant bloodline, even if Raine went all out, he might not have been able to crush the skull of a Frost Giant.

After all, the skull is often the hardest part of a creature’s skeleton.

But after acquiring the Frost Giant bloodline and merging into the bloodline of a Frost Giant Captain, it wasn’t as difficult for Raine to achieve this feat.

Especially with Meredith distracting most of the opponent’s attention, allowing him to attack from the rear with ease.

"Thud!"

The Frost Giant’s eyes bulged, and its towering five-meter stature swayed twice before crashing heavily to the ground.

The commotion behind made even the Frost Giant Captain Tollesk at the forefront stop and turn back to look.

Seeing those familiar two human figures and the dead companion deeply triggered a nerve in Tollesk:

"Damn humans!"

Perhaps due to the death of his own brother or because this was the first death of an ally in today’s revenge operation, Tollesk immediately abandoned Benest and the others, turning to charge at Meredith and Raine.

"It’s Mr. Rein!"

Benest, also aware of the commotion, turned around and immediately recognized those two familiar figures, and the scene of the Frost Giant being crushed shocked the Royal Guards.

Along the way, they had been hearing Schneider talking about how amazing Raine was, and in their hearts, they dismissed it.

If it weren’t for Viscount Henry showing a keen interest in Raine, they might have refuted Schneider.

But now they understood why Schneider admired Raine, the "young town elite" in their eyes, so much.

Why Schneider said Raine didn’t need to boast, as people in taverns, inns, and in conversations would discuss and spread stories about him.

This scene before them explained all their questions!

And at this moment, Raine signaled Benest from afar. With numerous joint adventures under their belts, Benest immediately understood, saying to the five Royal Guards:

"Follow up with an attack, try to pin down a few Frost Giants, then split them up."

Hearing this, the Royal Guard Officers were stunned—What’s this? Are they going to fight the Frost Giants head-on?

They had thought Raine would immediately leave after his rescue attack, especially since there were still five whole Frost Giants and a Frost Giant Captain confronting them.

They never expected that Raine would not just be content with killing one Frost Giant, but was aiming for more.

Because in terms of sheer strength, even with Raine and Meredith, they were no match for the Frost Giant squad led by the Frost Giant Captain.

"Disperse the Frost Giants and take them down one by one." Benest had understood Raine’s plan.

After landing a blow, Raine fought while retreating, luring two Frost Giants toward the crevices in the glacier not far away, while the fast-moving Meredith led one Frost Giant astray.

At that moment, Benest led the five Royal Guards from being the ones chased to launching a counterattack.

Although the Royal Guards did not have particularly powerful long-range attacks, each was equipped with a double-fired powerful hand crossbow, which may not be lethal to Frost Giants, but could blind them if aimed at their eyes.

With the attack of the heavy hand crossbows and Benest’s magic attacks, the attention of the three Frost Giants was successively captured by the Royal Guards, and the previously cohesive Frost Giant squad was dispersed.

Raine seized the opportunity, performing a Flying Spell to stealthily attack from behind the Frost Giant chasing Meredith, successfully killing another Frost Giant.

But this immediately made the Frost Giant Captain Tollesk realize something was wrong, because this was clearly a tactic of taking them down one by one!

He roared, "Come back, gather here with me!"

This made the dispersed Frost Giants begin to regroup, and Raine expressed annoyance, signaling Benest to quickly retreat with the Royal Guards.

He and Meredith also used the Flying Spell to put some distance, disappearing beyond a snowy hill on the icy fields covered in white snow.

The Frost Giants clambered around the two fallen clan members’ bodies, roaring in anger.

The distance between them and Benest had widened significantly, to over two hundred meters.

This distance enabled both offense and defense.

The crisis was largely averted.

A moment later.

Raine and Meredith suddenly appeared a few meters away from Benest.

"Mr. Benest, where are the others?" Raine glanced at Benest and the slightly ragged Royal Guards and asked.

"...We just reached the Ice Lake... led by the Frost Giant Commander... black smoke... Solaisar Ruins..." Benest quickly briefed on the situation.

The curious Royal Guards nearby observed Raine, who had just slain two Frost Giants.

After all, those were Frost Giants!

Their long swords penetrating the Frost Giants’ ice-blue skin could only cause minor wounds, unable to pose a deadly threat, yet this man could crush skulls with a single blow!

"Gentlemen, the Frost Giants have left." Suddenly, a guard pointed forward.

"Huh? Their direction isn’t towards the Ice Lake, that’s..."

"Not good, Mr. Rein, look at that Snow Owl in the distance."

Raine and Meredith followed Benest’s gesture and saw a large white bird circling high in the sky ahead and to the right.

"Is that Snow Owl trained by the Frost Giants?"

"Yes, it belongs to a female Frost Giant Captain."

"From the direction the Frost Giants left, they might be heading southeast, to join another Frost Giant squad in encircling Baron Olsen. Not good! We must hold this Frost Giant squad." Benest frowned and said.

...

South of the Ice Lake.

The black smoke in the crack of the dark ice layer had thinned significantly, surrounded by agitated Ice Spirits.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, some Ice Spirits appeared to release the Third Level Spell ’Snow Rainstorm’ simultaneously.

The attack range of Third Level Spells wasn’t small, and immediately, within a range of dozens of meters around these Ice Spirits, rain mixed with snow and hail began to fall, revealing a group of people who had been camouflaged to the distant hiding eyes of Henry.

"It’s the members of the Nightmare Blade squad!" Henry’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"Damn it, they were already here!"

"Wait, could it be that the sudden appearance of the Frost Giants was deliberately caused by them?"

No wonder Henry made this connection, since Frost Giants usually roamed deep in the snowy fields; their sudden proximity to the icefield’s edge was unusual.

Thinking of the two fallen Royal Guards and the unknown future casualties, Henry’s resentment towards the Nightmare Blade squad grew intense.

Yet Ice Spirits, no matter against Secret Master Sarno and Olaf, or against the Dusk Sword squad, could easily be wiped out.

Thus, in Henry’s resentful gaze, within a mere ten seconds, the members of Nightmare Blade smoothly entered the ice layer entrance.

And at that moment, Henry’s peripheral vision noticed a group of adventurers quickly approaching.

"It’s the Crit Team! Finally, they’re here!"

Following Henry’s gaze, six figures advanced quickly towards him.

Individually, these six might not stand out, but together in one team, they were quite exceptional!

Because each wore a Mage Robe, five red and one grey, and they were all casters.

The most eye-catching were two identical red-robed mages, wielding the same red crystal staff, with nearly identical faces—the Crit brothers.

Both were Level 9 Mages, and with full funding support, they formed a team and recruited three additional Fire Mages at levels eight and seven.

Adding a Level 7 Clan Priest from his estate, the Crit Team, also known as the Fire Mage Team, was formed.

With Shield Masters forming the Royal Guards and the Crit Team’s fierce fire attacks, even extraordinary strong opponents would struggle if their number didn’t exceed three, granting Henry great confidence to defeat them.

This was the confidence he had in coming to Dorne City.
