As soon as Raine thought of enhancing his power, he rembered the new Class Skill ’Ice Tremor’ he had mastered, which he learned from the Frost Giant Commander as a Combat Skill.
Looking out through the window of the room on the second floor of the Association, he saw that the sunset on the horizon had not fully set.
"I can still go practice this ’Ice Tremor’.
If I can upgrade this Combat Skill to Level 2 early, I should be able to smoothly advance to Level 6 Classes. Along with the enhancent from bathing in dragon blood, maybe I can apply the Sixth Level Spell in future battles."
This was Raine’s thought.
Quickly, he donned a brand new set of Power gear and strode out of the room.
However, as soon as Raine stepped out of the room, he realized that even on the second floor of the Adventurer’s Association, his whole set of Power gear was quite conspicuous.
Seeing him in full Power gear, dozens of adventurers, either at Black Iron Level or Bronze Level, resting in the second-floor hall, all turned their attention to him.
So gazes were subtle, so more direct, so eyes showed envy, while others were puzzled, among various other reactions.
As Raine turned the corner to go downstairs, the whispering voices beca clearer:
"That’s a full set of Power gear, right? A top-tier set for a Bronze Level Combat Professional? Do any of you know this guy?"
"He’s wearing a faceplate, so you can’t see his face clearly! But... that body shape... doesn’t look too familiar."
Because adventurers mostly have good mories, they can usually recognize those they’ve worked with.
"Not too familiar, but that Shield he’s carrying reminds of soone." At this mont, a middle-aged man with a Back Bow had a thoughtful expression.
"Who?" Several Black Iron Level adventurers at the next table turned to look over.
"You should have heard of him too, Skullcrusher Raine."
"Skullcrusher? I’ve heard of him too, that stocky guy at the Fireplace Tavern talks about him all the ti."
"But wasn’t he a Black Iron Level adventurer?"
...
Raine naturally heard these words.
’Looks like this full set of Power gear may be alright in Dorne City or Bornberry, but in Mill Town, it’s a bit too eye-catching.’
Thinking about it, Raine, who had just descended a few flights of stairs, quietly cast the Invisibility Spell.
In an instant, his nacing full tal spiked armor vanished at the stairway corner.
After walking out the main door of the Association, he quickly assessed his direction and imdiately used the Flying Spell, heading north of Mill Town.
Because ’Ice Tremor’ makes quite a commotion, it can’t be done in the small woods he usually visits.
And to the north of Mill Town, in the direction of the Lankote Snowfield, there’s a rugged cliffside that is more suitable for practicing ’Ice Tremor’.
Several minutes later.
At the base of a rugged cliff.
"Click!"
His Steel Boots hit the ground, and a tall figure clad in nacing armor suddenly appeared.
Raine glanced around, carefully perceiving his surroundings. Once he confird there was no one around, he opened his panel. Since he was practicing the move of the Frost Giant Commander, he naturally swapped out the White Dragon Bloodline.
Once everything was ready.
"Ice Tremor!"
With Raine’s right foot in Steel Boots stomping hard on the ground!
You could see from the point of impact, an invisible Vibration Wave suddenly spread around. As the ground shook violently, a large amount of white ice crystals surged from the ground.
In an instant, seven or eight startled wild rabbits and groundhogs scurried out from their underground nests or nearby cliff crevices in a panic, only to be imdiately covered by white ice crystals and turned into lifelike ice sculptures.
"Oh? I didn’t notice these little animals." Raine observed, sowhat surprised by the scene.
However, he didn’t care about this small interlude and continued practicing seven or eight more tis.
Afterward, he stopped, a contemplative look on his face.
"Too bad there’s no progress bar, but I can roughly estimate that I’m about sixty or seventy percent of the way there now."
"I should be able to upgrade Ice Tremor to Level 2 within a month, and if I have any adventurous training, I might improve faster."
Suddenly, Raine looked up towards the direction of Mill Town and said in a deep voice:
"Who?"
"It’s ."
As a gentle female voice rang out, a familiar figure appeared out of nowhere in the woods—it was redith.
redith’s bright eyes glanced around and then at Raine, her cold and beautiful face breaking into a slight smile as she said, "Raine, it’s really you."
"Hmm?"
"Just now, in Mill Town, I also felt a tremor coming from this direction. I guess others might co to check it out too."
After redith’s explanation, Raine looked enlightened; the disturbance of ’Ice Tremor’ was greater than he had anticipated, being an area attack after all.
"redith, people are coming. Let’s go."
Saying this, Raine cast the Invisibility Spell, vanishing from sight.
redith also glanced to the right and imdiately vanished on the spot.
A few seconds later.
A middle-aged man dressed as a Wanderer cautiously sneaked out from the woods, quickly scanning the surroundings.
Suddenly!
His whole body trembled, eyes wide open, face full of shock!
He was staring intently at the thick white layer of ice under the cliffside, along with the wild rabbits and groundhogs frozen into ice sculptures.
"This, this..."
Earlier, while walking down Mill Town’s street, he suddenly sensed a slight tremor from the ground in the north, and imdiately ca to investigate, not expecting such an astonishing discovery.
