Chapter 42 - Second Floor

The next floor looked the same. The gate where we went through was gone again and was replaced by a wall.

Soon a white bear came running towards us. It looked like a polar bear but it has a a blue horn on it's head.

Rai came towards at my front, and blocked the bear's attack. The attack of the bear was strong making Rai moved a step back.

Rory then came towards it's back and slashed at it using his swords. Rory's attack only left a shallow cut on the bear's back. The bear was gonna turn around to attack Rory but was then interrupted by Rai.

While this was happening, I appraised the bear.

• Horn Attack

It had the same skills with the other wolves except for the Horn Attack skill. It has a higher vitality making it harder to kill but thankfully it was slow so it was easier to dodge it's attack.

I then helped them by using my poison and Water Magic. It took for about 5 minutes to kill the bear.

Ding!

You gain 1500 EXP.

I then used my Consume skill on the corpse.

Ding!

You gain 1600 EXP.

We then rested for a while before continuing. When we rested enough, we continued walking.

We keep walking until we encountered two paths. I don't know which is the right path but I guess I'll just enter whichever path.

I then took the path on the right. We continued our journey until we saw two bears again. Rory took one while Rai took the other.

Me and Nixie first helped Rai since Rory can dodge the bear's attacks. We then helped Rory when we finished killing Rai's bear.

Those two bears helped me to level up by one.

We continued going deeper inside, and killed bears as we go in. We encountered 4 more bears helping me level up again.

Afterwards, we encountered a room which has a chest on the middle. It was guarded by three bears.

This can be a bit hard but I think we can still manage, the chest might have a treasure inside.

"Rai and Rory, we'll take on one bear each. Nixie I want you to support all of us by focusing on healing us." I said and then dashed towards a bear on the middle. Rory took the left while Rai took the right one.

I first made an ice chain to restrain the bear and then went towards it's back. I then used my Power Slash skill with poison in the tips of my claws.

Ding!

Your Poison Body skill leveled up!

I was surprised to hear that but still continued with my attacks. I then made a series of jabs at the bear making it howl in pain.

The bear then turned around and gave a slash with it's claws towards me. I easily dodged the attack since the bear was slow. I then made water spears by melting some ice around me. The bear saw my attack and crossed it's arms to block it.

While the bear was busy blocking my attack, I went on it's back again and attacked it with my claws. The fight lasted for about 7 minutes.

I looked at Rory and Rai, and I can see that they are still not finished. I first went to Rai since he sustained more damage compared to Rory. Nixie was trying her best at supporting Rai by using Ice Heal.

When I finished helping Rai, we then turned around and killed Rory's bear.

Ding!

You Level up!

Ding!

Your Frost Magic leveled up!

Ding!

Your Frost Resistant leveled up!

Ding!

Your Basic Gauntlet Arts leveled up!

Ding!

Your Shadow skill leveled up!

Ding!

Your Glutton Eater title leveled up!

Ding!

Your Envy title leveled up!

I was bombarded by my system when I leveled up. It must be because of my classes reaching level 10.

I then checked my titles to see the changes.

Glutton Eater (Level 4):

Gained because you eat excessively. Gain 2000% more appetite and capacity to eat. You will still retain your body shape even after eating.

Nothing really changed on this title so I looked at the next one.

Envy (Level 2):

You gain this title for being consumed by jealousy for a number of times. It bestowed you with an ability to copy skills from others. The skill that you copy from others will be Level 2 when you gain it.

Can only use this ability once a month.

Wow! I can now make the skills I copy turn to level 2. I was jumping from joy when I saw this and checked my skills one by one when I calmed down.

The thing that caught my attention was my Shadow skill.

Shadow (Level 3):

Can make a shadow of yourself that will follow your every command.

Can only summon 3 Shadow.

The shadow has 52% of your stats.

Can only be used 1 per day.

I then tried using it, and was happy to see that I was successful in summoning my shadow clones.

Once I was finished checking my skills, I talked with Rory and Rai to ask what skills did they get.

"My Intermediate Blade Arts and Fire skills leveled up master Ave. Also my Loyal Servant and Loyalty titles have leveled up." Rory said.

I then checked his titles was amazed to see the changes on his Loyalty title.

Loyalty (Level 2)

One of the Seven Bushido Virtues. Gained because of showing a fierce loyalty towards your master. A warrior serves his master to do his every order without questions and doubt.

The title gives you a portion of your master's power.

Gain 3 skills of your master randomly.

He can now gain 3 skills from me. I was curious which other skill did he learn from me so I asked.

"What skill did you learn from me Rory?" I asked.

"I learned your Ice Manipulation skill master Ave." He answered.

Afterwards, I asked Rai's skills.

"I learned a new skill master called Sturdy Body, and Lightning Magic. My Frost Lightning Body leveled up by 1." He said.

I then checked his new skill Sturdy Body.

Sturdy Body (Level 1):

Gain 1% of Vitality when taking hits.

It was a passive skill but can be helpful when it leveled up more.

"We should check the chest and move back to go into the other path from before." I said once I was done checking there skills.

I controlled one of my shadow clones and moved it towards the chest. I wanted to be sure that no traps was installed at the chest. I then controlled the shadow clone to open the chest.

When the shadow clone opened the chest, it didn't have any traps activated. I moved towards the shadow clone and saw that the chest has a blue shield inside. The shield has a face of a bear and was a meter long. I then appraised the shield.

Frozen Bear Shield (Level 150):

+300 VIT

+5% Block Chance

A successful block will make the attack of the enemy be completely negated.

I can see that the shield has a level requirement so I stored it at my storage first and will pass it on Rai when we reach the level requirement.
