Chapter 96 - Skill Transform (1/2)

Ray's left arm was still currently frozen solid. He needed to wait for his mana to come back to activate his fire attribute and melt the ice away. As it was, Ray's mana returned at a rate of 1 point for every five minutes that passed. If he sat down and focused, this rate could increase to one mana point per minute.

Ray sat down and started to focus in order to get his mana points back. As he did, he went to look at the new skill he had obtained.

The skill transform allowed Ray to change his appearance. Although Ray was originally happy when he first saw this, his opinion quickly changed when he read the description.

Ray saw that the description had many restrictions. Ray would only be able to transform his appearance and not alter any of the features on his body. What this basically meant was he could change his face to appear as another person and skin colour but nothing else.

Not only that but the skill required him to maintain an output mana, unlike his dragon eyes. While using the skill transform, it would use up 5 mana points per hour of transformation. Although this skill was pretty much useless for battle, Ray thought of other ways he could use this skill in the future.

Ray then thought about the purple vile he had obtained. It seemed to contain the essence of the shadow plague. It not only infected Killer but also made him stronger. Ray was wondering if he would be able to give the vile to someone who knew what to do with it. He would have to wait until he was out of the academy. There were more members of Pureblood than the academy originally thought, and it was even worse now that perhaps it was all linked to the shadow plague somehow.

If he gave it to someone in the academy it would probably disappear without Ray ever finding out what it was.

Finally, Ray had restored enough mana points to activate the fire attribute into his right gauntlet. He then took it to his left arm and started to thaw out his arm until it was completely free to move again.

After his arm was completely thawed out, Ray went to each of the bodies on the floor and started to burn them until there was nothing left but ashes. Ray was afraid that if he left the place and left the bodies there, someone would find them and it would only cause him more problems.

Ray didn't come out of the fight empty-handed though. He got to keep the spear that Killer used. It was an advanced tier weapon with the ability to reflect low magic spells and Ki. It was a shame that Ray didn't really fight with a spear. He thought about giving it to Dan but then the pureblood members would target Dan for having it.

For now, he would just have to keep it somewhere safe for the time being. Ray then picked up the great sword and started walking over towards Jack.

Jack was bloody all over and needed medical help soon.

”Here you go,” Ray said as he handed the weapon back to Jack. ”Thank you for letting me borrow it.”

”No problem. So you're a mage then?” Jack said.

Jack had seen Ray freeze the spear as well as burn the bodies. Jack was right to think that Ray was a mage, but he had never heard of a mage that could fight as well as Ray and also perform magic.

It took mages years to learn how to use their magic properly, so they didn't have time to focus on fighting skills unless they were hundreds of years old.

”I hope I don't have to explain that it's important that you keep this a secret from everyone?” Ray asked.
