Chapter 14

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

So, when Fjolm and the other gnolls fought a few intense rounds, the gnolls were all in a frenzy.

Only then did Zhang Yun run to the front of both parties.

“Healing… Eh?”

“Awesome!”

“She killed them again?”

At this moment, Fjolm once again showed her professionalism as the Ice Kingdom’s Head Commander.

In the face of these gnolls minions who made no sense at all and even though the number of gnolls had doubled, Fjolm was still uninjured as she rampaged. She was like a blue and white butterfly of ice and snow that shuttled back and forth on the battlefield and danced.

Zhang Yun could only say that talented professionals with C+ attribute talents were all monsters!

Especially this kind of experienced veteran!

It was even more terrifying!

Zhang Yun had seen many genius seniors before. They also had C+ growth talent, but they couldn’t fight as smoothly as Fjolm.

Even if the first limit had been reached…

Level 5…

The seniors would not stay unscathed if they dealt with these gnolls who had reached the third level.

There was no other reason.

The four attributes only strengthened their physical fitness.

For example, arm strength, reaction speed, movement speed, physical strength, magic perception, and so on.

Valuable combat experience and awareness cannot be gained out of thin air.

And the skills of professionals were just like cheating devices set up for ‘sure-kill’ skills in games.

By following the system’s instructions, raising hands, raising legs, and shouting the name of the move, one could release most of his power.

There weren’t many technical details.

This extended to…two people with the same talent, level, and profession.

As long as the intensity of the basic training was different, and the control of the details of the battle was different. The level of actual combat, in the end, would also be completely different.

For example:

Wild cats worked hard to survive in a world where the strong preyed on the weak, fought for territory, hunted prey, and wrestled with their own kind.

The cats raised at home would lie down and sleep every day. They would repeatedly kiss their owners, eat, and be taken care of.

Who was stronger?

It would definitely be the former who would crush the latter to the ground.

It was the same for Fjolm.

Although she was only 22 years old–only four years older than Zhang Yun–she had experienced at least four to five years of high-intensity combat on the road to becoming the Ice Kingdom’s Head Commander.

These valuable combat and movement techniques were not things that a group of flowers that grew up in a greenhouse could come into contact with.

Of course…

Flowers in a greenhouse.

Zhang Yun was only referring to the students from the same city that he had seen so far.

In those big cities far away, there were many geniuses, many competitions, few resources, and few opportunities…

One could imagine how many it would be.

In terms of combat skills and body movements, those who got up at four in the morning and ran ten kilometers relied on various online strategies and summary skills in the information age. It might not be worse than the Head Commander of the Ice Kingdom, Fjolm…

Back to the main topic.

The powerful Fjolm killed the gnolls one by one with her white ice spear. She then continued to explore deeply into the cave passage. She looked for the final boss to completely clear out the dungeon.

The enemies Fjolm encountered along the way knelt down one after another under her long, snow-white legs. These monsters did not leave behind any last words–only screams filled with horror.

When he heard the screams of his companions, the final boss was respectable. He did not hide in the deepest part of the cave and wait for the two to find him. Instead, he took the initiative to lead a group of gnolls out.

[Name: Gnoll Leader]

[Level: 5]

[Class: Bronze ★★]

[Skills: Call of the Wild; Madly Scratching; Punching Your Chest With Small Fists; Smashing You to Death With a Stick…]

[Description: The leader of the gnolls is powerful. Although he has sharp claws and a thick spiked club, his favorite move is still “Punching Your Chest With Small Fists” which he named himself. He punches the enemy until they vomit blood. Only then can he show that he has far more powerful strength than other gnolls.]

“F*ck you! F*ck you!”

Fjolm held the white ice spear in her hand while she ignored the Gnoll Leader’s strange taunt. She bent her legs slightly and jumped into the air. Like a meteorite that fell from the sky, she jumped and flew toward the Gnoll Leader’s head.

The Gnoll Leader subconsciously raised the spiked club in his hand and tried to block the spear that fell from the sky.

However, the experienced Fjolm had long guessed that he would do this. She flicked his weapon in the air. The mace in the Gnoll Leader’s hand was flung. Then, out of nowhere, the Gnoll Leader’s heart was pierced and damaged critically.

Immediately after, Fjolm used the skill “Freezing Spear” and instantly froze the Gnoll Leader. At the same time, she quickly brandished her long spear and spun it around him. The weapon blocked the attacks of the other gnoll underlings around the leader.

“Release the skill! Ice Guard! Summon Ice Shield!”

She took the initiative to shatter the ice!

The ice shield exploded!

‘Bang! Bang!’

Suddenly, the ice barrier around Fjolm condensed from the cold air. It exploded into countless tiny ice crystal spikes and quickly rushed toward the surrounding gnolls and pierced their bodies. It caused ice elemental damage and slowed them down.

Fjolm raised the white ice spear in her hand and madly attacked the frozen Gnoll Leader, who could not fight back. The white ice on the Gnoll Leader’s body also exploded and turned into countless flying ice crystal spikes. They pierced the skin of all the enemies.

At this time, Fjolm injured all the gnolls. The enemies only had half of their health left. Debuff affected them also, which reduced their speed.

The Gnoll Leader’s health bar was very high. It was more than 10 times that of the gnoll underlings. So, even though Fjolm hit him in the heart, he did not lose much blood.

However, the Gnoll Leader was affected by the speed reduction effect of ice. He couldn’t lift his hand.

And so, Fjolm raised her white spear and stabbed it into the ground. She used her strongest skill.

“Ice! Listen to my command! Follow me and freeze all the arrogant people who dare to challenge the winter!”

[Activated “Cold Iron”]

[Active Skill: Winter Has Arrived!]

‘Boom!’

With a low roar, the weapon inserted into the ground emitted a white cold air. The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and frost began to form on the bodies of all gnolls at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, they turned into motionless white ice sculptures and looked in horror at the ice spear in Fjolm’s hand.

At the same time, the health bar above their heads also began to drop rapidly. It was like a hot flame burned them.

Even when their health bars were empty, these guys still had not dispelled the freezing effect and freed their bodies from the cold.

As for the most powerful Gnoll Leader, although large-scale continuous freezing skill did not quickly kill him, he lost more than half of its blood and entered a state of disability with all his attributes reduced.

With Fjolm’s exquisite body movements and marksmanship, she could deal with the heavy and silly gnolls who were in a half-disabled state without any other annoying gnolls to disturb her.

It was simply an easy task.

It could be said that…

The dawn of victory was right ahead.

Zhang Yun and Fjolm could soon clear this Level 3 Time-Limited Invasion Dungeon.

However, Zhang Yun’s focus was not on this, but on the special skill called “Winter Has Arrived. Fjolm just released it.

“F*ck! Although I expected it! But I’ve seen with my own eyes a specialized skill that can instantly destroy the sky, the earth, and the air in its initial state! It’s still too shocking! It started quickly! The range was wide! Group control! Freeze! Coupled with multiple high-frequency ice attribute damage! It directly took out more than half of the BOSS’ blood!”

This?

Was this the strength of heaven’s chosen one who specialized in martial arts?

It was terrifying!

It was no wonder the teacher who taught the theory course had said that they would rather have a D-grade chosen professional than a C-grade ordinary professional. The former was far more valuable than the latter!

A single specialized martial artist was able to achieve such a level.

Zhang Yun really didn’t dare to imagine.

Those who had special skills, talent, and awakened abilities, how powerful could they be…
