Chapter 804 - Ice Wings
“Shua!”
A golden ray of light fell upon . 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 beco 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 advancent 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 advancent 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 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 several years of studying it before I could understand so 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 mont, “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 ters. She smiled to , “Did you see that? Even without activating my God power, I can still fly!”
“Huh?” I was stunned, “You… you want to teach 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 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 to be? This is a skill that I figured out, so naturally you don’t need to pay for it. Here, let 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 consus 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 consud 1G. While the cost seed 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 advancent 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 ti.
[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 ti.
……
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 sowhat similar to [Whirlwind Sword Break]. Not too bad, I can live with this!
Ti 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 ford 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 movent. 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 and created a [Frost Shield], “Well, co at Xiao Yao. Throw an attack and let 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!”
Ice scattered from the shield and Frost was actually forced back two steps. “Pa!” She bumped against the desk, scattering so of the docunts onto the ground. Dumbfounded, she exclaid, “Wow, you… you’ve actually improved this much. Your attack had nearly rendered my [Frost Shield] useless against your attack…”
I looked over at her arm and saw that fresh blood was seeping out. Worried I said, “It's because you’re injured right now. Get better soon and don’t get into any more fights with people.”
Frost smiled tenderly, “Okay, I know.”
Right then, I heard the great doors to the hall burst open with a “peng!”. The Queen Zi Shu dashed over. She glanced around and said, “What happened? I felt the clash of two Holy Domain powers. Did soone attack?”
Frost couldn’t help but smile, “Nope, I was dueling with Li Xiao Yao!”
Zi Shu widened her eyes, “Oh, Master, looks like you’re becoming more and more powerful. You’ve definitely improved since that day you rescued from the Wild Dragon Tribe. Ah, I’m already starting to feel so regret, I should’ve set up a more complete contract of service. That way… Master could do whatever he wanted with …”
I glanced at the Queen Zi Shu’s slender figure and blood nearly shot out of my nose, “Zi Shu, be more serious. You’re a dragon and I’m a man!”
Zi Shu giggled, “No matter. Frost is a god and you’re a man, and you guys are still… Oh, I think I’ve said too much. Lady Frost, you won’t try and avenge this by unburying my nest, right?”
Frost was expressionless, “I will not, as long as you don’t turn yourself into a dragon and leave a pile in the city…”
Zi Shu’s face was flushed, “My lady, now you’re in the wrong, at the very least I am a lady dragon, I’m not one of those lowly wild dragons… those, those are morons!”
Frost smiled and walked over to rest her hand on Zi Shu’s shoulder, “Alright already, why don’t you tell us about your plan to steal dragon eggs again? Just these 15 Dragon Knights are enough to put the Hybrid Demons at a disadvantage. We’re going to need more!”
I was astonished, “Huh, you guys are going to the Wild Dragon Territory to steal more eggs?”
Frost smiled, “Of course, otherwise… Dragon City’s defenses are just too inferior…”
I replied, “But after last ti, Ignaus will have undoubtedly increased their defenses. I don’t think it’ll be as easy as it was before. In addition, I can’t defeat any elder dragons with the state I’m in right now!”
“As for that…” Frost looked at and smiled, “Don’t worry. This ti we don’t need you to be the cannon fodder. Zi Shu can take that role!”
The Queen Zi Shu looked dismayed, “Please don’t, as a dragon, I have my dignity. I will not do sothing like stealing Dragon Eggs. How about we try sothing else?”
“Oh? What is that?” Frost asked.
Queen Zi Shu explained, “Silver Dragons, Crystal Dragons, and Fla Dragons are all part of the Holy Dragon tribe. They are already very rare to find. Last ti, we practically stole all of the Holy Dragon eggs in the Wild Dragon Territory. Not only will it not be safe to steal any more, it will likely arouse Ignaus’ attention. I’d rather have that not happen. How about we hunt on the outskirts of the Wild Dragon Territory and poach so of the simpler dragon tribe mbers? The Wide-winged Dragon and the Flat-Mouth Dragon are both middle tier dragons. While they don’t match up to the strength of a Holy Dragon, they still have a lot of potential battle power under the right training. At the very least, they won’t have any problems fighting against the Magic Sword Masters.”
Frost was puzzled, “But… can a wild dragon be trained into a mount?”
Zi Shu loftily patted her chest and said, “My lady, you must be underestimating a little too much. In my body flows royal blood among the Holy Dragon tribe. Furthermore, I have the Dragon Essence. I can force create a contract between any mid tier dragon and human.”
Frost clapped her hands, “Alright then, we’ll do just that!”
I turned around to leave.
Zi Shu hurriedly asked, “Eh, Master, where are you going?”
I was speechless, “You’re standing around here discussing such swindling acts… I might as well go and do so good deeds like help protect the weak to make up for it!”
Frost grinned, “Alright go on then, my General of the South and/or Guardian Dragon General!”
I rolled my eyes.
……
Right as I walked out of the hall, a ssenger suddenly arrived. It was a rider from the Royal Army. He gripped the Royal Army flag in his hand and leapt down to his knees before , “Commander, Supervisor Han Yuan asked to let you know that a group of pirates appeared on the Eastern shore of the War God River and is threatening the civilians there. They’ve already killed a few of the people in the fisherman’s village nearby. Should we exterminate them?”
“Pirates?”
“Yes sir!”
The ssenger continued, “These pirates have a very advanced war boat and it looks like they’ve had years of experience raiding the War God’s River. Even the Fla Dragon Army’s navy couldn’t handle them. General Han Yuan said… that these pirates have excellent weapons and most likely a treasure trove. If we can find that trove, then the Royal Army’s funds will be much more bountiful!”
I clapped my hands and said, “Alright then, I’ll go back with you!”
“Yes sir!”
