Chapter 461 - 251: Already Created? (2)

"It’s good to be of help."

"Your current strength already rivals the transcendent. I look forward to seeing what level your combat power will reach when you enter the extraordinary!" Humbert said with hearty laughter.

...

In the following week, Raine spent most of his time with Humbert.

On one hand, they exchanged combat skills and shared insights on the use of Warhammer; on the other hand, they practiced and sought inspiration from two different approaches.

Good news kept coming during these days.

Firstly, the application for using the ancient Flame Forge was approved by the Elder Council five days ago, now they are just waiting for the exact restoration time.

Secondly, the Friendship Medal was signed and authorized by the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom and was delivered to Raine half a day ago.

Finally, through sparring with his mentor Humbert in the last two days, Raine roughly envisioned his next exclusive combat skill.

At this moment.

In a corner of the Ironfoot Legion’s new recruit training ground, Raine wielded a heavy Two-Handed Warhammer, indeed, it was a Two-Handed Warhammer, and was powerfully sweeping attacks from side to side.

Raine listened to his mentor Humbert’s advice and was practicing the universal combat skill ’Sweeping’.

This particular combat skill is widely used among warriors, especially those wielding two-handed weapons, and is an extremely useful skill for further enhancing combat power.

Raine’s main objective is to see if practice can spark inspiration for the subsequent path of his class.

He was attempting to combine the White Dragon’s Monster Skill fourth-level spell ’Ice Cone’ with the combat skill ’Sweeping’ to some extent.

Of course, achieving this is extraordinarily difficult!

Normally speaking, even for those with extraordinary talent among dual-class individuals, creating their own combat skills without precedent guidance might take three, five years or even longer in time units to overcome.

This is also why many special classes require generational inheritance.

Fortunately, Raine’s lineage has a Monster Skill that significantly enhances Frost comprehension and learning speed, as well as the ability to enhance Warhammer and Heavy Weapon comprehension and learning ability.

Coupled with exchanges with Humbert, Raine had already vaguely grasped the prototype of a new combat skill.

’Just some opportunities away from creating a new class combat skill.’ Raine thought silently.

Due to the Monster Skill’s blessing, his practice speed was astonishingly fast.

"Boom boom boom!"

Raine wielded a Two-Handed Warhammer that emitted blue-white faint light, a sweeping strike, and with an arc swing, sent a row of iron mannequins flying three meters away in front of him.

While Humbert beside him was constantly stroking his beard, the corners of his mouth nearly reaching his ears, displaying the expression of an old father proud of his son’s accomplishment.

"Not bad, Raine, it seems you have basically mastered ’Sweeping’."

"Although this universal combat skill isn’t very difficult, considering your learning speed... now I finally understand why your improvement is so fast!"

This left Raine slightly stunned during the break.

He didn’t expect that his accelerated improvement explained by his extraordinarily high learning ability blessed by the Monster Skill could be so reasonably justified.

"Next is the issue of combining spells with combat skills, which might take a relatively long time."

"But don’t rush, take your time, with your talent, I believe it will be hopeful in about half a year." Humbert comforted.

Hearing his mentor’s comforting words, Raine nodded, indicating he understood.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Raine’s mind!

He immediately stepped into the field again, wielding the Two-Handed Warhammer, and launched a sweeping strike. Unlike usual, the blue-white light from his Warhammer was exceptionally bright and shot out alongside the sweep.

A transparent sharp ice spike about one meter long shot out rapidly from the hammer’s head and pierced through two iron mannequins in front with a whoosh.

Meanwhile, the two iron mannequins began to rapidly cover with a layer of white ice crystals.

Even from more than ten meters away, others could sense the sudden drop in temperature.

"Did... did you just create it?" Humbert’s eyes widened in disbelief at the scene in the center of the field.

And at that moment.

Centurion Krom, who had just stepped into the training ground, was also in a state of shock.

His strength and experience were similar to Humbert’s, yet he had never seen such a situation in his life.

"Absurd! Even if he were a goddess’s illegitimate child, it wouldn’t be so exaggerated..."

Raine smiled, surprised by the pleasant discovery his trip to the Iron Hills brought.

Not only is there hope for the repair of the Warhammer, but he also mastered a new exclusive combat skill.

This also means he can proceed to Level 2 and smoothly enter Level 7 Classes.

More importantly, it fully proves that Humbert’s suggestion was viable.

This means his future path has become much clearer. At least, until Level 10 Classes, the path is smooth!

Raine named the new combat skill ’Ice Blade Strike’.

Of course, in terms of power, it is utterly incomparable to the White Dragon’s Monster Skill fourth-level spell ’Ice Cone’, but as a class skill, it excels in instant casting, low spiritual power consumption, and frequency of use.

’Since acquiring the Epic Level Warhammer Counterattacker, I’ve always used a single-handed hammer, now I see, it’s indeed necessary to master a two-handed weapon.’

Raine looked at the Two-Handed Warhammer in his hand and sighed.

If it weren’t for the Two-Handed Warhammer enabling him to comprehend related skills, he might have been stuck for a while before creating new combat skills.

...

Meanwhile.

In the Fadir Wetland Kingdom.

On the second floor of a towering castle near the administrative building in Warwick City.

"Earl, this is the report about the adventurer named Raine in Dorne City that Young Master Aaron mentioned last time." At this moment, an elderly butler placed some documents on Earl York’s desk.

Having heard news about Raine from his own son Aaron, York valued it quite highly.

After all, as the captain of a Silver Level Adventurer Squad, not to mention saving him, his status is comparable to that of a Fadir Kingdom Earl like him.

So, when Aaron mentioned this to him, he immediately expressed his hope for Aaron to invite this Silver Level Adventurer to visit Warwick City, assuring a warm reception and proper gratitude.

Another crucial reason is, if he truly is a Silver Level Adventurer, York Clan’s current predicament might find a pivot point for a turnaround.

Of course, as an Earl, an astute and legendary nobleman, he wouldn’t simply believe one-sided words, even from his own son.

Therefore, a few days ago, Earl York dispatched people to investigate the background of ’Dorne City’ and ’Raine’.

However, after quickly glancing through the report, his brows furrowed, "There isn’t a Silver Level Adventurer Squad in all of Dorne City?"

"Yes, Earl. Our investigation through multiple channels revealed that Mr. Rein is actually the captain of a Bronze Level Adventurer Squad, not a Silver Level one."

"Moreover, Mr. Rein is quite young, with a promising future."

"Young people, you know, they like to exaggerate their abilities to gain admiration from others, it’s understandable." Earl York nodded, indicating he understood.

"Uh... Earl, our investigation also found that this Bronze Level Adventurer Squad was just promoted last month."

"So, we speculate that Young Master Aaron might have slightly exaggerated the situation, he likely encountered some Black Fist Army elites, not the strongmen and detachments. Then, Mr. Rein saved him."

The butler bowed.

"I understand. Nevertheless, he saved Aaron, so if he comes, treat him well." Earl York pondered for a while and said.

"Yes, Earl."

As the butler left the study, Earl York regained a serious expression. He slowly stood up and pressed the fifth book on the third shelf of the bookcase.

In the next second!

With a faint gear sound, the bookcase split from the middle, revealing a hidden door.
