385 Chapter 385: New skills


    Frost grumbled and cursed under his breath as Maya made no attempt to hide herughter, his face beet red out of shame.


    Frost shook his head and chose to redirect his feelings into aggression, particrly towards the remaining enemies that were beginning to swarm in his direction.


    Kiba and Finy were powerful fighters able to take on a fair amount of foes but in the end they were individuals, there as a limit to how many they could keep in ce.


    A pr werebear and two standard pr bears thus appeared at Frost’s side, boxing him in from two directions. Their eyes blood red and their veins throbbing as the frenzy affected them greatly, nothing but mindless beasts hell set on destruction and devouring. Frost’s scent attracted them greatly like a fine delicacy that they couldn’t resist in their starved state.


    “Well, well looks like you’re quite popr young master, I’ll leave you to attend to your fervent admirers hehehe.” Maya giggled mischievously before cutting her connection with Frost, leaving him to take care of business.


    Frost’s lips twitched; he was sufficiently annoyed by his guardian’s antics he’d need to teach her a little lesson once this wave was over. He was no longer naive and innocent, if Maya wanted to y this game then he was all for it, he would not lose.


    “Haaaaaaaa” Frost let out a sigh before locking gazes with the closest monster, the pr werebear. “Looks like you guys drew the short straw as I’m in need of warm bodies to test the limits of my ive mastery.” With a wild smile Frost raised up his ive and entered a battle stance, allowing his progression into the advanced level wash over him.


    Reaching the advanced stage not only increased his connection with his ive making him more attune with controlling its movements. Able to move far faster and smoother in his attacks and defences but like when he reached adept mastery he inherited some new skills, one of which he was attempting to try now.


    “Huuuuuuu” Frost let out a deep breath as he followed the knowledge granted to him. His internal energy wrapped around the ive, imbuing it with power and taking on a brand new form.


    .....


    “[Wyvern’s maw]” Frost uttered the name of the new skill as he smoothly raised the ive upwards above his head. The energy attached to the weapon gradually took form as he moved. Arge wyvern’s head appeared floating above the ive with its maw wide open, quite a terrifying image.


    “Roarrrrrr!” The wyvern head formed of energy roared out, baring its fangs towards the pr werebear.


    Frost aggressively swung his ive downwards at that moment,unching the wyvern’s head at the pr werebear. This was a long ranged attack that incorporated living forms instead of simple shapes, something only possible once one reached advanced mastery, a much higher skill than [w of the ice wolf], far more draining as well.


    Frost could feel the drain of his strength as he summoned andunched the wyvern head, but he ignored the slight trembling in his hands, his eyes focused on the sh between the pr werebear and the wyvern.


    The energy form wyvern moved with great speed,parable to an arrow, it was on the pr werebear in a couple seconds, jaw wide open in attempt to bite off arge chunk of the beast.


    “Roarrrrr!” The pr werebear was unfazed by the wyvern head treating it as just another enemy. It swung out with its ice hammer, aiming for the wyvern’s forehead.


    Frost smiled evilly at that moment and mouthed the word ‘idiot’.


    The [wyvern’s maw] was an advanced skill that was partially alive, it wasn’t like [sh] or [w of the ice wolf] that were static, unable to alter their direction onceunched.


    As Frost expected the wyvern head moved with grace, avoiding the pr werebear’s hammer easily and wrapped around its extended arm before.


    Crunch!


    The massive jaw mped down on the pr werebear’s extended arm, severing it in twain. The bright blue energy that formed the wyvern’s head dimmed slightly at the point of contact, but its form was still solid, the attack wasn’t over.


    The pr werebear looked on in shock and panic as its arm was devoured by the floating wyvern head. It tried to back away and strike with its other hammer, but it was toote. The wyvern never stopped moving, it was before its face in an instant, mouth opened wide once again.


    Crunch!


    With a second bite the wyvern separated the pr werebear’s head from its shoulders, killing it almost instantly. Its form once again dimmed before falling apart, returning to formless energy, leaving a bloodied corpse in its wake.


    “.....” Frost looked on in silencepletely blown away by his new skill, an upper D-rank monster gone just like that, impressive was an understatement.


    “Grollll!”


    “Grollll!” Frost didn’t have time to admire his handiwork however, the other two standard archetype pr bears arrived from the other side. Not bothered by the death of the pr werebear due to their state of frenzy the two of them charged forward and swiped at Frost with their ws.


    Frost though a little drained thanks to his use of aura form and unleashing his new skill for the first was more than strong enough to avoid the attacks of two pr bears.


    He jumped into the air, easily avoiding their ws, twirling in the air as he did.


    “How about another?” Frost’s wild smile continued to grow, his excitement building, reaching advanced mastery didn’t just grant him one new skill no he was granted three.


    The first being of course the [wyvern’s maw] that he just prominently disyed. The second was abined skill that required one to be riding a mount of some sort. The ive being a pole weapon was very much designed for cavalrybat, the long reach allowing it supersede a sword in such asions. Frost would have to summoned Kiba at some point to try it out.


    The third skill however was an airborne skill, called [skyfall] and Frost was right now in the perfect position to try it out.


    In mid-air Frost twirled his ive and fixed his position, he and the ive’s de were pointed downwards at the two pr bears. Once again energy from Frost’s body wrapped around the ive filling it with power before gradually beginning to take form.


    “[Skyfall]!” Frost roared out, his body trembled as his internal energy was quickly drained and transformed into four ives simr in appearance to the one he was wielding around him in the four cardinal directions. All of them pointing downwards at the two pr bears.


    Boom!


    Frost kicked off against the air and plummeted downwards with his ive in hand and the four energy formed ives following right behind him.


    Don! Don! Don! Don! Don!


    The five ives swiftly prated downwards, piercing through the two pr bears and into the ground, sinking deep and exploding the nearby snow outward. [Skyfall] was a highly destructive airborne skill with great prative power.


    The two pr bears were no match for the ives as their hides were easily pierced through, destroying their internal organs and bringing them to a swift end.


    Frost stood on top of one of the pr bear corpses, his hands trembling from the devouring of internal energy as well as the force generated by the impact of his ive hitting the ground. None the less however he still sported that wild smile, enjoying every second of the battle.


    His techniques were now so much more expansive and far more powerful, if he was faced with the ursa once again he wouldn’t even need to use his aura form to chop through its bones, these skills were more than enough to do just that.


    With a swift tug he removed the embedded ive head from the ground, sharply swinging it outward to remove the residual blood and bits of ice and snow. His gaze then moved towards the next group of monsters that ignorantly made their way towards him as well as the current state of his most trusted general Finy.


    With the two of them making a grandiose disy they were able to attract a majority of the remaining monsters. Kiba would swoop down and eviscerate scores of the lower ranked bears as he focused on aiding his bestial corps.


    Even though the kill box has been destroyed and over 100 frost dwarves were no longer raining down arrows and magic the casualties on the enemies side were high, very high.


    The remaining monsters were low enough for the bestial corps and the three leaders to effectively fight in a melee without being overrun, utilising the space now granted to them as an advantage. While the remaining dwarven troops escaped to the secondary defences zones so as to be ready for the next wave.


    Of course there was still asionally a bear that got through the blockade, but they were in the minority. The full scale retreat was being handled smoothly and was performed at the right time; the results really couldn’t be any better.


    Minimal casualties plus Frost had officially entered B-rank, granting him far greater mastery of his ive as well as more powerful skills. The issue was how they would deal with the following waves now that the kill box was done for.


    But right now all that mattered was ending this wave. Frost gripped his ive before swiftly moving into action, cutting down scores of bears that impeded his path, making his way to Finy and then the bestial corps.
