The renowned Mask was currently duelling the skeleton king in the Hell-difficulty Demon City dungeon.
Indeed, Drako Yau was clearing the dungeon alone. Because Hell difficulty could only be fought once a day, it had beco part of his daily routine at this point. It boosted his experience at a fairly decent rate, though that was because he was only Level 24.
When average players were at Level 25 and Zephyrwolfs group were between Level 26 and 30, Drako Yau was still at Level 24. It wasnt that he was lazy; it was all thanks to the experience-devouring treasure on him, the God-Slaying Demon Extermination Armour.
He had estimated that hed be Level 26 already if not for the armour leeching his experience. It went to show how much experience the armour was taking up, but there wasnt anything he could do about it.
After it acknowledged him as its new master, he could no longer remove the armour, so he couldnt put a stop to the experience leeching either. However, only a bunch of question marks showed up whenever he inspected the armours details. He had no idea when the forced labour was going to end. After a month, though, he was gradually getting used to it.
Thankfully, after a day of serious negotiation with the God-Slaying Demon Extermination Armour, it now temporarily allowed Drako Yau to put on another piece of armour over it. In other words, he now had the ability to equip two chestplatesthough one of them only had 1 Defence
Drako Yau persuaded it with a simple reason: if you dont agree, Ill die. If I die, you probably cant find another master.
Drako Yau was starting to get a bit anxious and impatient as he fought the skeleton king. Even though he had been in the ga for so long, he had yet to find a single clue about how to get out of the ga. As for those nutrition pods or fluids or whatnot, he hadnt paid them any heed after eting the old geezer that ti because he guessed he was probably forcefully logged into the ga using a special thod.
Even so, he was still worried about how he could leave the ga. No matter how realistic the ga was, it wasnt the world he grew up in and was used to.
The troubled Drako Yau almost took a hit from the skeleton king. He quickly settled down his mind and ceased his pointless thoughts. He couldnt escape from the ga any ti soon, so all he could do was follow the old geezers advice: beco stronger, then he could handle anything that went against him.
After being in the ga for a good while, Drako Yau had improved vastly, especially his ability to circulate the two forces within him. His success rate had gradually gone up, and he felt that it was all thanks to his class progression into Godly Spearmaster and learning Elentary Grasp of Ice and Fire.
He also nad the two forces. He nad the ice elental force which heightened his five senses Frost Form because once he entered that state, even his breath turned frosty and froze up his Mask of the Hidden Dragon.
As for the fire elental force which buffed his physical capabilities, he nad it Fla Form. The reason was that flas would erupt from his body when he circulated the force to its peak performance. It was a bit like his Fiery Dance skill in a sense.
As for using Frost Form and Fla Form together Drako Yau didnt dare to use it, because he had once tested it out. He could feel that every ti he used both forces, theyd damage the Cryofla Jade and the ghost fla, accelerating his countdown tir.
Over ti, Drako Yau no longer dared to use them together. It could wait until he got proficient with both forms. Better not bite more than he could chewhe knew at least that much.
After gaining a basic understanding of Frost Form and Fla Form, he turned his focus to his skills, not Snowy Doorstep though because there wasnt any special technique about it to speak of.
He had learnt two new skills at Level 23, one fire-based and one ice-based.
Level 23 skill: Soaring Flas. Flick the spear upwards, suspending the target and triggering the power of flas, dealing explosive damage.
The second skill was a passive skill.
Level 23 skill: Icefrost. Applies a layer of frost on the target each ti an ice-based skill is landed.
First layer: Decrease movent speed by 20 per cent.
Second layer: Decrease cast speed and movent speed by 20 per cent.
Third layer: Freezes the target for 1.5 seconds. Once the third layer is triggered, frost can only be applied on the sa target after 10 seconds.
As soone who used to design gas, he knew it wasnt that simple to completely get a hang of a skill, so he underwent a series of detailed experints for his current skills. The test subjects were naturally his poor subordinates; Idyllic Poet was exempted by claiming she was a delicate lady though. Greenstone was also exempted because he had to heal those white rats no, test subjects.
After trampling over Windstrider, Danting, Sasaki, and Zephyrwolf, he finally discovered the hidden attributes of his skills.
First was the relationship between Fiery Dance and Soaring Flas. He had always found Fiery Dance borderline useless, but because it was a permanent skill which didnt cost any mana when triggered, he simply left it alone. Now, he realised that whenever he triggered Fiery Dances effect on a target, the subsequent Soaring Flas on the sa target would be a certain critical hit and would deal 20 per cent more base damagea terrifying number.
Based on the assumption that elental skills were related to one another, Drako Yau tested out his ice-based skills.
The only ice-based active skill he had was Snowy Doorstep. It could inflict slowness on the enemy, decreasing their movent speed by 10 per cent for three seconds. anwhile, Icefrosts first layer of frost decreased the targets movent speed by 20 per cent for ten seconds.
If he couldnt apply the second layer on the target within ten seconds, the first layers effect would disappear. By landing Snowy Doorstep a second ti within ten seconds, effects of the first and second layer would stack up and last for ten seconds and so on.
It ant that the target would be frozen, slowed, and receive a cast speed and attack speed debuff at the sa ti if he could hit the sa target with three consecutive Snowy Doorsteps within the said ti fra. It was a wonderful control skill to have.
After he was done with his Godly Spearmaster skills, he turned his focus to Dragon Capturing Palm.
It turned out the skill wasnt that easy to use in actual combat. It took ti for the dragon aura to materialise and fly towards the targeted destination. Good fighters wouldnt just stand there and let him grab them, so he had to predict their movents when casting it.
He decided to use birds as practice targets. At first, he failed ti after ti, failing to catch a single bird with the skill. After a while, he gradually got a feeling for it. Birds were no longer a challenge for him before he knew it.
He then changed his practice target to the skeleton king. It was a good opponent for him. Unlike the fire crystal giant master in the Blazing Cave, the skeleton king was a boss with skills and technique. He felt like duelling a real person when up against it. He didnt keep it as a secret either; after he told his companions about the benefits of fighting the skeleton king, duelling the boss was now a daily assignnt for them as well.
Drako Yau lowered his body to duck the skeleton kings horizontal slash and responded with a similar slash.
Snowy Doorstep.
Scattering tiny snowflakes, the tip of his spear landed on the skeleton king, slowing its movent speed by 30 per cent for three seconds (Snowy Doorsteps slowness effect and first layer of frost). He then followed up with several thrusts. Flas abruptly burst from the skeleton king, bringing a smile to his face.
Fiery Dance was triggered. Drako Yau imdiately used Soaring Flas and flicked his spear upwards, suspending the skeleton king into the air while the flas erupted from within its skeletal fra like a barrel of gunpowder, sending black smoke all over the place.
Snowy Doorsteps cooldown had just ended. Casting and landing the skill once again, the skeleton king was as sluggish as a snail after being inflicted with two layers of frost.
Drako Yau continued to rain down slashes and thrusts at the skeleton king. Under the effects of Might and Spear Mastery, his attacks werent just fancy-lookingthey dealt considerable damage as well. Unfortunately, his attacks didnt trigger Fiery Dances burning effect.
The mont its cooldown ended, Drako Yau used Snowy Doorstep for the third ti. He sent the frozen skeleton king flying with a kick before extending and putting strength into his right arm. A dragon aura howled as it bit onto the skeleton king and pulled it back to him.
Moon Breakers tip awaited the skeleton king as it flew across the air.
The ground shuddered as the skeleton king dropped to the ground, while Drako Yau coincidentally levelled up to Level 25.
