Chapter 46: Crygma Shardlings and Ice-Affinity

Chapter 46: Crygma Shardlings and Ice-Affinity

The ice turtle monster stepped forward, stomping its feet. Agares gasped as he saw the area around the hallway slowly turn into walls of ice.

Shocking! Agares dodged one of the sharp ice spikes that emerged from the frozen dungeon walls. Not one, but two or three medium-sized sharp ice spikes.

"Damn, they’re using this area as their attack medium!" Agares muttered.

The ice turtle monster stomped its feet on the ice floor again, creating a much larger number of sharp ice spikes. Agares seemed overwhelmed.

Some parts of Agares’ body were cut by the sharp tips of the ice spikes, and some spikes were clearly piercing his body, though only small punctures.

However, he had to admit that their abilities were somewhat troublesome.

[-85 HP]

Agares fell silent, wiping the blood from his cheek while continuing to stare ahead. The man knew how to deal with the monsters: prevent them from stomping their feet on the icy floor.

"Activate Skill!"

"Saber Skill: Shadow Cleave!"

[Saber Skill: Shadow Cleave Activated]

[-150 Mana]

[Mana: 1300/1500] [-150]

The man jumped back far enough, looking ahead where the ice turtle monster reacted by stomping its feet on the ground. Dozens of ice spikes emerged from the wall toward Agares.

Agares’ eyes glowed purple-black, a flow of dark energy concentrated on his sword blade, ready to be released.

Agares swung his sword horizontally and vertically, sending a shadow slash attack in the shape of a plus pattern forward. Agares’ saber skill attack successfully cut through the sharp spikes and struck the monsters precisely.

BLAST!

An explosion happened, sending up enough purple-black smoke to fill the area. The sharp ice thorns on the ice wall had disappeared, accompanied by the appearance of a system panel in front of Agares.

[+188 damage]

[Weakened for 10 seconds]

[Reduce ATK by 30% every 12 seconds]

[Reduce 10 HP/sec for 7s]

[WARNING!]

[Effect Buffed Monster Activated]

[25% Defense Increase every non-fire affinity attack]

Agares was startled, then looked ahead and saw the HP panel in the top right of his vision. They had a total HP of 450.

The dark affinity attack earlier seemed to have a significant impact on the damage dealt.

The black purple smoke disappeared, revealing an ice crystal on top of the turtle shell glowing bright blue.

It seemed the ice crystal would light up when the buff was active, as it was now.

"The total damage from Skill One is 250. With a 25% defense boost, I only took 188 damage earlier."

"This is a bit tricky and troublesome. I don’t want to waste my mana just to fight them."

Another attack from them emerged. Their mouths opened and immediately emitted a sharp burst of ice forward.

Agares was startled and immediately plunged his sword into the ground.

"Activate Skill!"

"Saber Skill: Abyssal Ward!"

[Saber Skill: Abyssal Ward Activated]

[-150 Mana]

[Mana: 1150/1500] [-150]

Agares summoned a black bat-winged shadow figure behind his body. The bat’s wings extended forward and enveloped Agares’ body in a dome-shaped shield. The skill’s effect activated.

[-165 damage]

[Damage Reduction 40% for 8s]

[ATK Reflection 20%]

The man sensed their attacks could be dangerous to him. Agares had no choice; he had to use his third skill to kill them.

[+66 damage]

Agares was startled as a damage panel appeared, displaying the amount of damage the monsters had taken.

Immediately, Agares opened the bat-wing dome and saw them—the five turtle monsters—frozen for no apparent reason.

"Was that attack a freeze attack?"

[Debuff deactivated]

[The Frozen effect deactivates buffs or debuffs]

"I understand now!"

"Activate Skill!"

"Saber Skill: Shadow Cleave!"

[Saber Skill: Shadow Cleave Activated]

[-150 Mana]

[Mana: 1000/1500] [-150 Mana]

Agares swung his sword vertically and horizontally, sending shadow slash attacks forward until they exploded precisely on the five ice turtle monsters.

BLAST

The explosion occurred again for the second time, sending up purple-black smoke that filled the area. Surprising for Agares! He saw his damage increase.

[+350 dmg] [Critical ATK]

[Weakened 10s]

[Reduce ATK by 30% per 12s]

[Reduce 10hp/sec for 7s]

Agares jumps back after using the skill. The deactivated buff greatly assists him, preventing the ice crystals on the turtle’s shell from reacting.

[DING! Congratulations, Agares! You have killed a monster]

[Name: Crygma Shardlings]

[Type: Ice Turtle]

[Affinity: Ice]

[Lv: 3]

[+1500exp]

[DING! Congratulations, Agares! You have leveled up]

[Stage: 1] [Level: 6]

[EXP: 25750/28900] [+1500]

[+100 Total HP]

[+100 Total Mana]

[+10 Attribute Points]

[+10 Skill Points]

[HP and Mana fully restored]

Agares smiled. With the appearance of that panel, it was certain that Agares had successfully defeated the five ice turtle monsters.

The man walked casually forward, then swept his hand to the side, clearing away the dark purple smoke that obstructed his vision.

In front of him, Agares saw 15 dropped items floating directly above the remains of the ice turtle monsters.

He reached out his hand and collected the 15 dropped items from the five monsters, with each monster yielding three dropped items.

[Item Dropped:]

[+100 Copper Coins]

[5x Frozen Shell Fragments]

[5x Crygma Shard]

"Alright, I’ll save them for later."

After the five monsters were completely defeated, the corridor space returned to normal.

The flowers and ice walls were no longer visible; it seemed their arrival had brought changes to the place they visited.

Agares stepped forward, following the corridor, hoping to find an empty room he could use as a resting place.

Soon, Agares arrived at a three-way corridor junction. The man sighed, feeling puzzled by this dungeon.

"I’m really tired. Are they crazy for exploring this dungeon?" Agares complained.

According to the smart navigation, Agares had to walk straight to reach the boss room on the floor. However, that meant he had to continue fighting again right after feeling exhausted earlier.

However, Agares didn’t know what was in the second corridor—it could be a trap or a treasure chest corridor.

The man nodded after convincing himself. He would go to that corridor and see for himself what was there.

With caution, Agares stepped forward while continuing to grip his longsword. From ahead, Agares faintly heard the sound of flowing water, like a waterfall.

"I recognize this sound!"

Agares hurriedly left the corridor and stepped outside. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a vast dungeon room filled with green grass and lush trees.

"Finally. I can rest for a moment."

"Do you want to buy something?" someone asked, startling Agares.

He tried to follow the direction of the voice and was surprised to see a mysterious man in a long black robe standing behind a tree.

The man turned and smiled at Agares while waving his hand.

"Who are you?" Agares asked.

"I’m Li. I’m a merchant!"
