Chapter 54 The Price of a Gamble (2)
Ever since Seo Jun-Ho acquired his Frost skill, he had always pondered how to use it
‘How on earth should I use this?’
At first, he thought of using it to reinforce his equipuard of Darkness in a similar manner But it felt like a waste to only use it like that He kept thinking that there should be a better way to use it But eventually, he returned to the fighting style he was fa style is already complete from when I was Specter’
The world's elite players had called him a ‘Completed Player’ because of holess Specter’s coht that the only thing he lacked waswhile fighting the Frost Queen’
He had definitely been the victor of that fight, but in retrospect, there were uard of Darkness is the strongest spear’
Nothe opponent’s ar as he could land a clean hit Because of that, he enjoyed fights where he could corner his opponents in one direction As long as he ht would turn in an instant
‘But that didn’t work on opponents at a si enemy like the Frost Queen wouldn’t just take his hits She used her powerful Frost skill to block his attacks and even uard of Darkness is the best for attacks, but it is lacking in the defense departht this was his weakness
‘So when I got the Frost skill, the first thing that came to mind was defensive reinforcement’
He tried to increase his overall defense by strengthening his equipreat
‘If I cover armor in ice… it’ll naturally be heavy’’
It did help, but he lost ood with just the Frost skill
Eventually, Seo Jun-Ho had to ive up speed for a resilient body?’
Or
‘Should I raise both er?’
With two options in front of hi towards one of the on a tightrope, he preferred riskier battles
‘Since I’ve already received the skill, I should use it to the best ofand research, he finally decided on hoould use the Frost skill It caories
"The first is the utility"
Crackle!
The ground beneath them started to freeze over Rodo to freeze He lifted his feet
Crack!
The ice broke immediately
"You cannot trap me with such petty tricks"
"I know"
Seo Jun-Ho didn’t plan to bind him
‘I just need to distract you’
The floor had become as slippery as an ice rink Rodoth than usual to sih’
The icy ground would serve to distract his enemy and slowly eat away at his stamina
‘This is the first way I can use the Frost skill—to create an advantageous battlefield’
The second use was more intuitive Since it would be too heavy to constantly cover his armor in ice, he just needed to do it whenever he was attacked
‘Of course, thaton…’
But he was Specter This level of fine control was nothing
The final use of the Frost skill was his favorite
Crackle!
The air around hi the Frost skill to supple he had dreauard of Darkness can’t do this’
Well, it was possible, but it was highly inefficient The darkness was intangible, and though it was possible to ic
‘Technically, cold energy is intangible too…’
But it would become solid as soon as moisture froze In other words, it was a co since he was Specter
“What if a ic?”
It would becoic swordsman From now on, his opponent would have to avoid both his sword and the icicles that would co to them in all directions
“” Rodo “Darkness and icewhy did you hide such power?”
“It was so I couldn’t avoid Besides, didn’t you hide your power as well?” Seo Jun-Ho jutted his chin toward the dark energy shrouding Rodomir’s sword
“My circumstances are different”
Rodo he could use whenever he wanted He had to burn his soul away to borrow the strength of a corrupt spirit
“But that doesn’tRodomir’s savered like it was about to explode It was a violent energy that see it touched
But Seo Jun-Ho didn’t back down
‘10 minutesno, maybe 5’
He quickly calculated in his head the amount of time he would be able tointo account his opponent’s abilities
“” A moment later, he h”
“5that you only need 5 minutes to kill me?”
“Yeah”
Rodomir snorted at Seo Jun-Ho’s casual response
He knew very well that Seo Jun-Ho had been hiding his true power He had brought hi darkness and ice out of thin air
‘But to say 5 ht that Seo Jun-Ho was still gravely underestiht the opposite
‘He’s extraordinary I think he’ll actually last five minutes’
He was amazed to think that his opponent would be able to hold on for so long
Even if he wasn’t as strong as he was in the past, he considered it as hi able to last five ainst him
“This will be fun” Seo Jun-Ho’s heart started to pound in excite started to cry out Black sword ki erupted around it
‘It’s impossible for ic ‘
But he could produce soh
Ssssk!
The sword ki suddenly started to trey started to burn like fire
“Hhtly surprised for a ”
It was too lacking to be called a sword aura Perfected auras burned fiercer than this
“Do you think you can defeat me in 5 minutes simply because of that sword?”
