Chapter 372 - 213: Facing the White Dragon
This sudden turn of events left Raine and the others staring at each other in shock!
Viscount Henry, although unexpectedly obtaining the much-anticipated Necromancy Crystal, was being chased by the second White Dragon.
A White Dragon!
Even Benest from the Harpers Alliance furrowed his brows for a moment, not saying anything about rushing to the rescue immediately.
He knew very well that with his strength, let alone a White Dragon, he couldn’t even handle the Frost Giant Commander just now, so...
After a brief thought, Benest turned his gaze to Raine—the strongest in their team.
As for Meredith, she wasn’t very familiar with Henry, so her cold and beautiful face returned to calm after the initial shock, also looking towards Raine.
Clearly, whatever decision Raine was going to make later would be her stance as well.
For Raine, the first thought that came to mind was to save him.
The reason was simple.
If Henry died, then the promised reward of ten thousand gold plus the task reward, who would he ask for it from?
Of course, Raine couldn’t risk everything for that ten thousand gold by engaging in a life-and-death battle with an adult White Dragon that had at least a Challenge Level of Level 13.
Thus, for a moment, Raine’s brain was racing, yet he hadn’t made a decision.
’Not strong enough yet.’ Raine sighed in his heart.
Suddenly, Raine’s eyes lit up!
He remembered something important because of the constant changes, he hadn’t yet checked the Frost Giant Commander’s bloodline.
’Right, how could I have forgotten this!’
"Hold on a bit, I need to think more." Raine said to Benest and Meredith beside him.
Immediately afterwards, he focused his attention on the Frost Giant Commander’s bloodline.
The first thing that came into view was the Bloodline Talent.
Compared to the Frost Giant Captain’s four bloodline talents, the Frost Giant Commander had an additional ’Axe Mastery’.
Axe Mastery Level 2, Effect: You have a natural familiarity with any axe-type weapons, increasing your damage by 20% when using axe-type weapons; increasing learning speed by 40% when learning any axe-type weapons Combat Skills.
This ordinary Bloodline Talent didn’t catch Raine’s attention much, and his gaze moved quickly.
’Thermal Imaging Vision’ and ’Heavy Weapon Mastery’ had almost no changes either, and were swiftly looked past.
Quickly, Raine’s gaze focused on ’Transcendent Giant Physique’.
’Hmm? It was originally Frost Giant Physique, now it’s Transcendent Giant Physique.’
’Just one word different, but the difference is quite significant!’
Transcendent Giant Physique Level 1, Effect: Strength +12, Constitution +12, Agility +4, gains basic resistance to all magic except Frost Spell (90% damage reduction from Frost Spell, immunity to Level 1-3 Frost Spell damage), medium toxin resistance, medium piercing defense, medium blunt defense.
(Note: Based on current physical condition)
’The enhancements to Strength, Body, and Agility are all good, compared to the previous Frost Giant Captain, Strength is further increased by 2 points, Constitution by 4 points, and Agility also by 2 points.’
"Great!"
’Wow, this is strong! 90% damage reduction from Frost Spell? I remember it was high-level resistance to Frost Spell before, which reduced damage by 75%, now it’s increased to 90% damage reduction!’
’And it can also be immune to Level 1-3 Frost Spell damage?’
’Impressive!’ Raine’s eyes lit up with joy in his heart.
It’s known that one major killer move of the White Dragon is the extremely powerful Frost Breath and a large number of Frost Spells. 90% damage reduction compared to 75%, this 15% difference in damage is enough to influence the battle.
Now, with 90% damage reduction from Frost Spell, all he needs to do is focus on one thing—fighting the White Dragon in melee.
Though still challenging, there’s no doubt he could possibly give it a shot in arm-wrestling now.
Moreover, the last Bloodline Talent ’Frightening Dignity’, also increased from Level 1 to Level 2, expanding the range and targets affected.
His gaze lowered further.
The Frost Giant Commander’s Spell-like Abilities consisted of five items, compared to the Frost Giant Captain who had one less item—’Frost Storm Barrier’.
’Was it the defensive Spell-like Ability Gorash from the Frost Giant Commander cast before?’
Raine immediately recalled the scene during the previous battle where the opponent erected a spherical spinning shield seemingly made of super strong snowstorm, resisting the spell siege of the Krytep team.
Frost Storm Barrier Level 1, Effect: You form a spherical rapidly moving shield composed of ice crystals around your body, duration 1 minute.
(Note: Before the barrier breaks, it can block all physical attacks and most spell attacks.)
"Not bad." Raine looked at the above description and couldn’t help nodding.
Regarding ’Ice Spike Combo’, ’Frost Shock’, and ’Frost Tremor’, these three basics, there was basically no change except for ’Frost Tremor’, which increased from Level 1 to Level 2, further increasing its attack range and power by one level.
What caught Raine’s attention the most was ’Ruthless’.
Ruthless Level 3, Effect: In a fight, when you kill a target that poses a threat to you, you will gain a simultaneous 1% increase in Strength and Agility, lasting 1 minute.
This effect can stack, with stacking refreshing the duration, and can stack up to 20 times.
(Note: During the duration of Ruthless, immunity to mental control type spells.)
Increased to Level 3, Ruthless can stack up to 20 times, meaning he can gain a maximum ’20% increase in Strength and 20% increase in Agility’!
The enhancement is substantial!
"But even so, in terms of strength, it seems like I’m still lacking a little," Raine murmured.
Without a doubt, his strength had gained considerable improvement again, but the problem was his own strength was only Level 5 Classes, and the opponent was an adult White Dragon.
