Chapter 804 - Ice Wings (1/2)
Chapter 804 - Ice Wings
“Shua!”
A golden ray of light fell upon me. Frost smiled and put her palm on my chest. She then muttered, “Hidden forests of Dragon City, stand firm and tall and protect our virtue. Even when all else falls, this desolate land shall stand strong…. I, Frost, Lady of Dragon City bestow upon you the honor of a Guardian Dragon General. From this day onward, you will become an indispensable part of my life. I will not fail you, even in the next life!”
……
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations Player [Xiao Yao Zi Zai] for becoming the first sixth advancement player. You have received the title “Guardian Dragon General” and have further received the following rewards: Level+1, Charm+50!
The reward for being the first sixth class advancement was this small?
I was feeling a little disappointed. Yet I was still feeling a little excited when I looked back at Frost, “Frost, what’s the Ancient Hidden Skill? Can you give me a demonstration…”
Frost grinned and stepped back, “This ancient skill has nearly been forgotten. I had to search through thousands of old scrolls and it took me several years of studying it before I could understand some of it. Make sure you watch carefully….”
Frost gave a high pitched roar and snowflakes suddenly began to apparate and dance around her before seeping into her skin. In the next moment, “Peng!”, ice burst from her back, creating a pair of beautiful ice wings. With a slight flutter of the wings, she lifted her body from the ground. Frost raised her Severing Beauty and swung it, only to create a powerful slash of sword energy that extended several meters. She smiled to me, “Did you see that? Even without activating my God power, I can still fly!”
“Huh?” I was stunned, “You… you want to teach me this kind of flying skill?”
Frost nodded, “Yup, do you not want to learn?”
My jaw nearly dropped, “I want to, of course I want to! Teach me know, how much money do I need to learn it?”
“Eh?” Frost put her hand to her mouth, “What kind of a stingy person do you take me to be? This is a skill that I figured out, so naturally you don’t need to pay for it. Here, let me teach you the incantation….”
“Shua!” A confirmation page suddenly appeared on my dashboard asking if I wanted to learn Frost’s skill——
[Ice Wings] (Deity Third Tier): Condenses the power of ancient glaciers to spawn wings, allowing the user to fly at will. Furthermore, this skill allows mounts to also harness this power. In close combat, the skill will create sword energy that extends five yards out. Activating this skill will greatly increase the effectiveness of your hidden stats. Every second of activation will cost you 1G. Learning this skill consumes 100 Charm!
……
It was a Deity Third Tier skill?
I gaped at the stats. Learning this skill was definitely like hitting the jackpot. Before this I was just a ground soldier, but if I could fly with these ice wings and bring my mount as well, then how scared would I actually be of people like Frost Forest who rode on dragons?
“Shua!”
Ice Wings appeared in my skill list. Every second of activation consumed 1G. While the cost seemed demanding at first, that wasn’t a problem. I had the funds to support this!
I looked over and saw that there were still two more sixth class advancement sword skills in Frost’s interface ——
[Holy Domain Strength] (SS Tier): At the threshold of the Holy Domain, this skill gives user’s the primary level of holy power, greatly increasing the user’s stats! You have already learned Ice Wings and cannot learn this skill at this time.
[Whirlwind Sword Break] (SS tier): This skill deals fierce damage to all targets within a 10 yard radius! You have already learned Ice Wings and cannot learn this skill at this time.
……
They were all skills that I couldn’t learn. This kind of denial wrought my heart. With this one, [Ice Wings], I actually lost the opportunity to learn two other skills! But, it does seem like [Ice Wings] already greatly increases my attack power and stamina, similar to the effect from [Holy Domain Strength]. Plus, the [Ice Wings] has the effect of increasing my attack range, which is somewhat similar to [Whirlwind Sword Break]. Not too bad, I can live with this!
Time to try out the Ice Wings!
I summoned my Flying Scythe Horse and leapt onto it before activating the skill. My horse whinnied and the temperature around us suddenly cooled down as flakes formed in the air. They quickly seeped into my body. I suddenly felt a force burst from my back and “peng!”, long wings opened up. I had the ability to fly. The system controls also changed a bit, creating a more 3D-like type of movement. The difficulty of maneuvering increased a slight bit, but it was nothing too great. I had once tried out the flight ability of wind elves, so I wasn’t completely unfamiliar with these controls.
“Hua!”
My wings flapped against the air and my feet left the ground. I pulled out my Zhen Yue Blade and threw a slash of sword energy. It looked like it was much stronger than my usual attacks.
Frost smiled to me and created a [Frost Shield], “Well, come at me Xiao Yao. Throw an attack and let me see just how much my student has improved.”
I nodded and gripped my Zhen Yue Blade with both hands. I focused all of my concentration and shot forward right at my beautiful master. I raised my Zhen Yue Blade high above my hand and threw a heavy slash right onto the [Frost Shield]!
“Peng!”
