Chapter 632: Chapter 338: Extraordinary Class Skill: Thunderous Stampede!_2
"Indeed! Grenum’s strength is no less than that of any of us, yet Mr. Raine can match him without using any Magic," remarked Elder Ubrek, who was carrying a large double-bladed battleaxe.
The elders were familiar with Raine and had witnessed his combat power, but Raine had mainly displayed superior Magic attack power in previous battles.
It was truly unexpected that Raine’s pure melee strength is also formidable!
Clang!
With a loud sound, Raine and Elder Grenum simultaneously separated, and Elder Grenum laughed heartily: "Mr. Raine, how do you feel? Have you realized anything?"
"Thank you, Elder Grenum," Raine nodded with a smile.
Although it was said to be a competition, Elder Grenum was actually feeding him moves.
The aim was to quickly familiarize him with the replacement weapon.
Due to the Emperor’s Dual Warhammers needing to be reforged, he would be without a suitable weapon for some time, so Brute Hammer the Second thoughtfully prepared a backup warhammer for him—’Crusher.’
And had several elders accompany him to get familiar with the weapon.
’Crusher’ is essentially a high-quality imitation of the Divine Artifact ’Hammer of Shattering,’ though naturally, its power is nowhere near the actual artifact.
However, in his view, it still possesses considerable power.
[Spine Breaker]
Type: Warhammer
Quality: Epic Level
Special Effects:
One: When activated, it grants a ’high-frequency oscillation’ effect in the next melee attack. (This effect can only be triggered once every 15 seconds.)
Two: In a focused state, it grants a ’Shatter’ effect in the next melee attack. (This effect can only be triggered once every 30 seconds.)
Overview: As a replica of the strongest artifact, Hammer of Shattering, from the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom, it possesses considerable power....
At this moment, Elder Grenum continued, "In my understanding, the power of a warhammer largely comes from the word ’oscillation.’
"The higher and more frequent the oscillation, the stronger the power."
"Yes, that’s certainly the case," Raine nodded, displaying a thoughtful expression.
During the recent exchange, sparks of realization about new Extraordinary Class Skills were continuously emerging in his mind.
"Mr. Raine, don’t you want me to continue with you?" Elder Dinita, who was carrying a heavy two-handed warhammer, enthusiastically walked up from the edge of the field.
But Raine still had a state of contemplation.
Hmm?
Raine’s unusual state immediately drew the attention of everyone present, and Elder Grenum quickly stopped Elder Dinita from further questioning.
Swoosh!
Raine raised his right leg and stomped heavily!
As his Steel Boots hit the ground, a force of vibration suddenly caused the soil ahead to lift, but what shocked the dwarf elders even more was the five dazzling electric arcs that struck down from above!
"Crack!"
Five arcs struck the ground, causing a large area of scorched blackness with immense power.
"This...."
All the dwarf elders, including Elder Balin, stared at each other in disbelief!
He just achieved enlightenment?
And what he realized is an advanced combination skill akin to those of Arcane Knights?
This combination skill is rare, highly challenging to master, yet extremely powerful, and widely applicable in combat scenarios.
The difficulty of achieving it is naturally the highest.
This is evident from the small number of Arcane Knights across the land.
"Thank you, Elder Grenum, I just realized a follow-up class skill for myself, Stomp, Vibration Wave plus Thunder, let’s call it Thunderous Stampede!"
Raine’s heart was filled with joy.
The Monster Skill ’Stampede’ originally came from the Wild Boar Chief, and now not only has he mastered it, he’s also further refined it by combining it with Vibration Wave and the Blue Dragon’s Lightning Talent, creating his unique class skill ’Thunderous Stampede!’
This coincides with what Meredith told him before—’Two or more intermediate or advanced combat skills, ingeniously combined into one and thoroughly comprehended, result in Extraordinary Combat Skills.’
His gaze once again passed over the attribute panel:
....
[Power: 22 (+24)]
[Agility: 17 (+20)]
[Constitution: 22 (+22)]
[Intelligence: 30 (+10)]
[Perception: 16 (+10)]
[Charm: 15 (+10)]
...
’With the boost from the Colorful Giant Dragon lv5, my power exceeds 45 points, comparable to the Wild Boar Chief at the time.’
’Otherwise, I wouldn’t have mastered the Wild Boar Chief’s Monster Skill so smoothly.’
At this moment, Raine suddenly came to his senses—there seemed to be an elder wanting to continue the sparring with him.
"Elder Dinita, was it you who wanted to spar with me? I’m more than happy!" Catching sight of Elder Dinita, who was just about to leave, carrying a two-handed heavy hammer, Raine quickly called out to him.
Opportunities to spar with elders skilled in combat techniques were not something Raine would refuse.
Every casual swing of the elder was honed with countless practice, offering Raine endless insights as an opponent.
"Well... Mr. Raine, since you’ve achieved enlightenment of a new class skill, wouldn’t it be better to consolidate it first? Let’s spar some other time." Elder Dinita, who was about to leave, made a bitter face and came up with an idea in a hurry.
He’s still recovering from the trauma of the battle with the Blue Dragon Group.
The sensation of being hit with high-intensity, high-frequency electric shocks was truly overwhelming.
Thus, now he feels intimidated at the sight of lightning!
"Dinita, isn’t this perfect? Mr. Raine can consolidate it with you," Grenum playfully patted Dinita’s sturdy shoulder.
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around, including the Dwarf Royal Guards, burst into laughter.
Raine couldn’t help but smile.
...
In the Fadir Wetland Kingdom territory, in a woodland hundreds of kilometers southwest of the capital Makas City.
An elegantly handsome man with radiant blond hair, wearing noble hunting attire, bent down, using his forefinger to touch a bit of crimson, still-liquid blood, with an unconcerned smile.
"Drow Elf’s blood is really beautiful." The handsome man examined his blood-stained finger, expressing admiration.
The dark red blood is similar in hue to that of humans, but the Legendary Blood’s energy is unique—dark red, crystal clear, gorgeous like a dark red gem.
"Catherine, has your proficiency declined?"
"My apologies, Prince Aston, I didn’t expect the opponent to be so fast, and activated the Forbidden Magic Domain a bit late," the female Mage next to Aston, holding an eye-handle staff, approached with a smile.
Her appearance is average, but her presence surpasses Leonore, revealing herself to be a Legendary female caster.
Counting the obviously Legendary Prince Aston beside her, it’s evidently two Legendary Powerhouses.
"But rest assured, she won’t escape." Catherine mimicked Aston’s gesture, bending down, and lightly smeared a trace of blood, rubbing it onto the eye-handle staff’s eyeball.
In an instant!
The fist-sized eye specimen suddenly moved, as if waking from a dream, casting a gaze to the side.
"I believe I’ve found her, Prince Aston, let’s go." Catherine suggested.
"Tsk tsk, a staff made from the eye of a Legendary Eye Demon is truly effective—it can not only cast Forbidden Magic Domain but also precisely track targets."
"Prince Aston, that’s why His Majesty paired me with you as your assistant," the Legendary Female Mage named Catherine chuckled lightly.
"Let’s go."
With a flash of blue light, the Legendary Female Mage holding the eye-handle staff cast a Teleportation Spell, causing them to vanish from the scene.
Simultaneously!
In the capital Makas City, within the garden of a luxurious mansion, Ilgerina’s demeanor drastically shifted as she hurriedly exclaimed:
"They’re here, hurry up and leave!"
"Hmm?"
In truth, Leonore had already perceived the spatial fluctuations without Ilgerina’s reminder.
"Oh wow! So many?"
...
