My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 169 - 135: None of You Will Leave Today (Part 2)
The power to unleash a Third Level Spell like the Snow Rainstorm to such an extent, combined with the strong tangible aura of a dragon, makes the identity of the person before me quite obvious.
"White Dragon Mage Aiel."
"Oh? It seems you’ve heard of me."
"With your abilities, you shouldn’t be an obscure figure in the Harpers Alliance. Tell me, who are you?" Casting the Slow Fall Spell, Aiel floated down from the third floor of the castle.
Although the opponent wasn’t Raine, the Harpers Alliance also piqued his interest to make a move.
If he could capture the opponent alive, it would count as redeeming himself in front of Lord Siegfried.
Moreover, having just absorbed a dose of White Dragon’s Blood, Aiel, whose power had significantly increased, was looking for a formidable opponent to test his skills.
Meanwhile, in another room on the third floor, Shapeshifter Viss, while embracing a maid, watched the battle in the central square of the castle leisurely through the window, with a smile on his face.
"It seems Aiel’s power has strengthened."
"Oh? It looks like the opponent is that guy Benest, who narrowly escaped from the Valley of Dead Water recently. This time, he’s brought himself here."
"Perfectly timed, capturing him will surely earn a reward from Lord Mentar."
"Moreover, the opponent should know many secrets of the Harpers Alliance."
The Harpers Alliance is quite loose; unless they are very experienced members, typically, connections are single-line.
Only by capturing a senior member can they pull out multiple members under them all at once.
It’s like digging out potatoes, one pull brings out a bunch.
Viss’s lips moved as if he was sending a message.
At the same time, Aiel’s ears twitched slightly, his expression enlightened as he spoke to Benest:
"So, you are Benest, heard you narrowly escaped the Valley of Dead Water before?"
"It seems it was indeed your Talin Association causing trouble there." Benest’s eyes flickered slightly, as if he understood something.
"Never expected you to have dealings with Mind Flayers!"
"Sometimes knowing too much isn’t a good thing." Aiel said, tapping his fingernails, smirking at Benest.
"Anyway, it doesn’t matter; you won’t have the chance to escape today."
"Arenia, you take Robert and go find Sulfur Vine immediately, I’ll catch up soon." Benest inclined his head and spoke in a deep voice.
"Mr. Benest!"
"Go quickly!"
"Haha, none of you will leave today!"
"Roar!!"
With a roar, a porcelain-like fracture appeared on Aiel’s face, white cracks spread across his facial features, and faint white light began to emerge from the cracks, growing brighter!
Aiel commenced his assault with full force!
....
Meanwhile.
The Leather Armor Swordsmen along the way were easily dispatched by Raine, soon four individuals were climbing the stairs, nearly reaching the second floor.
But just then, the battle in the central castle square visible through a wall aperture caught the attention of all four.
A blonde middle-aged man in a blue and white Mage Robe looked imposing, with the towering silhouette of a colossal white dragon appearing behind him, exhaling forward expansively.
The frigid white breath instantly enveloped three humans in the fan-shaped area ahead.
The leader atop the Griffin, a middle-aged man holding a Silver Lute, plucked the silver strings repeatedly, conjuring three blades of silver energy in the shape of a character, aimed at the white breath.
"Boom!!!"
A fierce explosion occurred as the exotic energies collided.
The solid castle flagstone ground cracked in multiple places, covered by a layer of solid white ice inches thick....
"Is this the companion of the Miss Druid?"
"So powerful!"
"Who is that? This Frost Spell is incredibly potent!"
"It’s a Mage! A Mage with White Dragon Bloodline!" Reya exclaimed softly.
Due to the opponent performing the rare Frost Spell, Elise unwittingly glanced at Raine beside her.
’Both being adept in Frost Spell, I wonder who’s stronger, compared to Mr. Raine.’
Raine’s expression was serious as he focused on the central square, observing the confrontation intently.
Whether it was the White Dragon Mage or the middle-aged Harper, both surpassed his Classes Level significantly.
This almost tangible aura was too intense.
The momentum was even greater than the High-tier Boarman Warrior, Wild Boar Earth Diviner, and Commander Thorne of the Gray Dwarves Dark Furnace Clan he’d encountered previously.
The opponent’s Classes Level reached seven, possibly even eight.
Against such formidable adversaries, even with the support of Monster Skills, the outcome remains uncertain until fought.
"Just a White Dragon Mage?"
Raine repeatedly scrutinized the Magic cast by the opponent.
"Huh, seems like all the spells are Frost Spells?"
"Yes! The White Dragon is indeed adept at Frost Spells, isn’t it!" Raine recalled the "Lankote Snowfield Common Monsters Guide" he had read before.
"This...."
Raine felt relieved inside, a smile on his lips.
Because what the opponent excelled in was, coincidentally, what he countered, the Monster Skill ’Cold Resistance Level 5’ under the ’Counter-attacking Ice Spirit’ in his bloodline.
"This silver lute... I know, they are people from Harpers Alliance." At this point, Laisa’s eyes widened as she exclaimed softly.
"Harpers Alliance?" Raine and the others exchanged glances.
Today, they seemed to have learned quite a few secrets.
Not long ago, the Druid named Sulfur Vine mentioned the enemy was from Talin Association, and now, they heard another secret organization called Harpers Alliance.
Meaning, the secret organization Sulfur Vine belonged to is this Harpers Alliance.
"Miss Laisa, do you know about Harpers Alliance?"
"It’s said to be the organization, no, the number one enemy of Talin Association, other than that, I’m not very sure," Laisa shook her head and said.
Reya pondered, then looked towards Raine and asked.
"What should we do, should we help or rescue first."
"Rescue first."
Raine glanced at the fiercely fighting factions.
That blonde man from Talin Association, the White Dragon Mage, and the middle-aged man from Harpers Alliance were embroiled in a tense battle with no resolution in sight soon.
With them drawing attention, it was the best chance to rescue Reya’s father, Baron Olsen.
"Let’s go!"
Soon, the four ascended the spiral stone staircase again.
However, when they reached the third-floor stair’s corner.
Suddenly!
A sharp cry came from Sulfur Vine, the Druid, on the castle square.
"Lord Benest!"
Judging from the urgent and startled tone, the situation seemed to have changed again within just a few seconds.
Raine’s steps slowed down immediately, and he looked down through a wall’s slit.
On the castle square, the middle-aged Harper was now down, a sharp ice spike, half a meter long and as thick as a child’s arm, pierced his abdomen.
The Druid Sulfur Vine, whom Raine and others briefly met under the cliff, was now standing in the rear, casting a Recovery Spell on the middle-aged man. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Natural Energy formed by swirling leaves enveloped the man, but due to the ice spike, the Natural Magic couldn’t rapidly take effect as expected.
The Half-Elf Ranger swiftly darted and fired arrow after arrow at the White Dragon Mage.
In response to the Half-Elf Ranger’s attack, the White Dragon Mage’s body was covered with a transparent Ice Armor, similar to Raine’s Frost Armor, but one was transparent and the other white.
The Ice Armor blocked almost all the arrows.
Only a few slightly threatening arrows were flicked aside casually by the White Dragon Mage.
However, the White Dragon Mage’s aura was somewhat disordered, a trace of blood spilled from his lips; evidently, he had sustained some injuries.
But judging by the severity of the injuries, they were undoubtedly much lighter.
The present situation surprised Raine and the others.
No one expected the Harper’s squad to be defeated so quickly by the White Dragon Mage.
"Mr. Raine, should we..."
"This White Dragon Mage has overwhelming strength, likely Level Eight, or even Level Nine hero."
Reya shook her head slightly at Elise.
"Yes, but even if all four of us went down, it’s likely..."
Despite saying this, the three girls all looked towards Raine.
Because they knew very well who held the highest fight capability in the squad.
And for Raine, now came the dilemma.
Should they proceed to rescue Baron Olsen, or go down to aid the Harper’s squad?
