Chapter 16: World Number One Ice Mage
"Gagaga!"
A graphorn rose its hooves in rage, attempting to start a charge!
However, the front hooves of the graphorn were encased in a layer of ice, slowing it down to the point that the players can outspeed it!
And a figure stood before the enraged beast with both of his arms stretch out, the distance between them was less than ten meters away, if the graphorn hooves were not encased in ice, it could cover this distance within an instant! The figure aimed his palms toward the beast, a cloud of frost mist spew forth from his palm and condensed into an ice arrow!
"Frost Bolt! ! !"
In the next moment, the player ID World Number One Ice Mage fire out both arrows toward the graphorn front hooves.
The arrows struck the beast's front hooves covering it in another layer of ice, slowing the beast down another notch!
Seizing this opportunity, World Number One Ice Mage clench his hand and condense another cloud of frost mist into a sphere of ice.
"Frost Bounce!"
World Number One Ice Mage pitch the spheres toward the beast, hitting the ground right before the beast before suddenly bouncing up and striking the graphorn underbelly!
"Gaaah!" This blow cause the graphorn to scream in pain, causing a certain amount of damage!
So and so.
Whenever the graphorn gives chase, World Number One Ice Mage will cast frost bolts to slow it down and retreat.
Whenever the graphorn retreat, World Number One Ice Mage will cast frost bounce to damage it and give chase.
The enemy advances, I retreat, the enemy retreats, I pursue.
World Number One Ice Mage utilizes these tactics along with his frost bolts and frost bounce to slowly but surely kite the graphorn to its death!
This scene was naturally seen by all the spectating players.
"Holy shit, that was amazing!"
"Deserving of the ID World Number One Ice Mage, that was some truly underhanded tactics!"
"POGGER!"
.....
The onlooking players were all stunned by the World Number One Ice Mage display of skills before becoming overjoyed!
Although I can't replicate Indomitable_Panda tactics!
But I can certainly do the World Number One Ice Mage tactics!
I mean how hard could it be?
As a result, many players beg the World Number One Ice Mage to teach them how to change their frost spell into his frost spell.
"World Number One Ice Mage, I am your son!"
"World Number One Ice Mage, please teach me the ways of the frost spell!"
"World Number One Ice Mage, let me serve under you~~"
...
"Calm down, I will teach you how to cast the spells!" World Number One Ice Mage said and taught the other players everything he know.
When World Number One Ice Mage first learn the frost spell, one problem he notice immediately was how underpowered the spell was. Even against fellow players, if they wore a few more layers of clothes, they can block out most of the damage from the frost spell.
And the solution the World Number One Ice Mage came up with was to condense the frost mist to increase its power or simply put, to add on a cast time to the frost spell, the result was the frost bolt spell!
The other spell, frost bounce, was World Number One Ice Mage solution to damaging the graphorn as frost bolt can't hit the graphorn underbelly directly.
After a few minutes of practice, all of the players become 'proficient' in these two spells and went down the mountain to challenge the graphorn!
"Holy shit, these graphorn know how to dodge!"
"F***, I can't hit a single shot!"
"AHHH! Don't come, YAMETE(Stop)~~"
....
But soon, many players face tragic death, some players could not hit their frost bolt and other players made serval fatal mistakes, anyways there is a whole list of reasons for their F*** up!
"F***, it's too easy to f*** up if I go alone, I need a team!"
Right away, many players thought up of a countermeasure!
"Frost bolt kite team duo, I need someone with a sharp aim!"
"Frost bolt farming team trio, two missing one! We need someone with a precise frost bounce!"
"This Frost Spell is so amazing! Frost spells reign supreme!"
....
Many players formed teams one after another, and soon there was a trio of players who were able to successfully take down a graphorn.
With the first, there comes a second!
The graphorns started to fall one by one!
At this moment, everyone is an ice magician, everyone is a frost bender!
"Hahaha, success, I have finally killed a graphorn head-on!" Beef Noodle cheered in excitement as he stood up top of the graphorn corpse with a triumphant smile on his face.
"Beef Noodle! Stop standing around and get moving! We're taking that one out next!"
"Right, right, we can't stop here!"
.....
Beef Noodle two frost team teammates called out to him.
"That is a must! We're are pulling an all-nighter!" Beef Noodle wave his hand and shouted!
When almost all the players were transformed into ice magicians, a figure proudly stood up in the skill tower!
After spending 6 hours of trial and error, failing over a thousand times, the figure had finally achieved his goal.
ID Luffy!
"My Armament Haki has finally been completed!" Luffy grin and walked out of the skill tower.
"Exchange 6 points of body refinement realm cultivation!"
Luffy opened the exchange store and spent all of his contribution points on buying body refinement realm cultivation points.
"Boom boom boom!"
Luffy's aura exploded as his power level jumped from Body Refinement Realm Rank 1 to Body Refinement Realm Rank 4!
"Graphorn! Ready or not, here I come!" Luffy roared with chuunibyouness written all over his face!
Arriving at the mountain base, Luffy's gaze quickly locked onto a graphorn.
"Gagaga!" At the same time Luffy spotted the graphorn, the graphorn also spotted Luffy, letting out a strange battle cry the graphorn charged directly at Luffy!
With a well-timed sidestep, Luffy easily avoids the graphorn straight charge. Using Indomitable_Panda tactics, Luffy launch a focus kick toward the recovering graphorn!
Right before impact, Luffy's eyes gleamed as he activated his armor spell!
But Luffy's armor spell was different from the other players!
Accompanying Luffy's low growl, his right leg kick out and instantly turned jet black!
The surface area cover was small but it just so happened to be concentrated on the right leg of Luffy delivering the focus kick!
The appearance of this spell was the same as the armament haki in One Piece!
"Focus Kick!" In the next moment, Luffy's leg, covered in armament haki, impacted onto the graphorn underbelly!
"BOOM! ! !"
"GAAA!" The graphorn scream in agony and started to vomit up blood, it was heavily injured!
After being wounded, the graphorn was furious and kick out toward Luffy.
While Luffy could dodge the attack but wanting to test the limit of his armament haki, Luffy stand his ground and crossed his arms, bracing for impact!
"Armament!" Almost at the same time, Luffy roared, his arms were covered jet black!
In the next moment, the graphorn hoove crash right into Luffy!
"AHH!"
Luffy screamed and was kicked tens of meters away.
But...
After a couple of seconds, Luffy managed to slowly stand up again!
"I, I, I survive!!!"
Luffy wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. Although he was heavily injured, having both a broken arm and a few crack bones but Luffy could still stand up, his entire body filled with adrenaline as he let out a big smile!
With the help of his armament haki, he managed to survive a blow from the graphorn!
Although Luffy can't block a second hit!
But each attack block is one more chance at a comeback!
Luffy seized this opportunity!
In the following battle, Luffy was able to land a dozen more focus kicks enhanced with armament haki onto the graphorn underbelly, killing it in the end!
"I...I won!" Luffy let out a triumphant roar up top of the graphorn corpse!
