Chapter 17: The Ruin of Frost

Notice: Ruin of Frost is close by.

"That was kind of easy to find. I can't believe that it only took me half a day to get here."

Notice: This is due to the user's speed which is double the previous speed stat. Also, Environmental debuff does not affect the user.

Ruin of Frost: Level Requirement 45

Notice: High-Level Monster nearby, cannot proceed to enter the ruin. The possibility that the enemy is stronger than our current status, is 65%. System preparing to run away.

(No, we fight. 35% is a high chance to win. If I can't push myself to get stronger, I can't possibly fight enemies that only have a win chance probability of .01%.)

"Besides, I really want to enter the Ruin of Frost right now."

Notice: Preparing for combat. Cannot see the enemy. There is a high possibility that the enemy is using an invisibility skill or mirage.

(The monster must be highly intelligent. I'm guessing it is warry of me and is trying to strike when I let my guard down.)

Notice: Focus Stance in Combat activated.

Notice: Unsheathed Sword: Apee Beeru, Undying Flames activated.

(Status Boost Greater. Pure Desolate Greater. Summon Dark Shadow Greater.)

"Rim, Stay beside me. Make sure to protect me."

Rim Encircled his goo outside of Seth to instantly converge towards a spot where someone might start to hit him. And within that time frame, A monster appeared out of nowhere and pounced on Seth. It was too fast that it Destroyed Rim's converging body in an instant preventing it from forming a wall as it hit Seth, scratching his left arm.

Notice: Enemy is a Fyenrier. A Wolf-Giant. (LVL 80)

Hp: 850,000

Mp: 100,000

Speed: 200

Defense: 30,000

Magic Defense: 45,000

Attack Dmg: 50,000

Magic Attack Dmg: 50,000

"Its Defenses are so high. Why did something like that appear out of nowhere? Is it guarding the Ruin? tsk..."

Notice: Fyenrier activated the skill, summoning wolves greater.

Two small wolves popped out from his shadow.

Notice: greater wolves have 50% of Fyenrier stats.

(It's like summoning dark shadow lesser.)

Notice: Wolf-Giant used Wolf Howl.

Notice: Defense and attack are lowered by the difference in lvl, Maximum percentage lowered cannot exceed 50%. User's defenses and attacks are lowered by 35%

"Rim and Dark Shadow, keep the small ones some company. I'm your opponent, Big dog."

The Wolf-Giant suddenly disappeared again into the shadows.

Notice: The enemy is using Shadow Steps.

(All I need to know is where he is going to pounce.)

Can I leave this to my Auto-Battle mode? I don't even know if I can dodge its attacks.

Notice: Auto-Battle Mode can dodge its attacks.

"Alright, focus on that while I give orders to Rim."

The Wolf-Giant pounced again as Seth's body dodged the pounce. The Wolf giant charged head-on as Seth blocked the claw attack by using his sword.

"Our speed is about evenly matched. Rim has his goo domain and slime King's aura active and we have barely the same speed. I think it is using the Agility Boost to boost its speed or something of the same nature just to cancel out Rim's skills."

Notice: Summoned Dark Shadow is defeated. Summon time is in cd.

One of the Greater Wolves suddenly charged at him as well while The Wolf-Giant activated the skill, Blizzard.

Notice: Skill debuff resisted.

Notice: One of the greater wolves has been defeated by Rim.

"Rim!"

Rim hurriedly extended its body to block the greater wolf but it was intercepted by the Wolf Giant as it bit its extending portion. This caught Seth's body off-guard since he was fending off the Wolf Giant and so the Greater Wolf hit Seth and dealt a decent amount of dmg.

"Ah, I'm tired of this wolf doing the hit-and-run."

(Auto-Battle, go all out on the offensive. Show me what you're capable of.)

Notice: Reactivating Offensive buffs.

Seth's body runs towards the greater wolf slicing it in two and killing it. The Giant Wolf instantly charges toward him to retaliate but was finally caught by the slimy goo that Rim had been making a net off in the ground since the start of the battle.

"Nice. Now that he is slowed down, I can kill it."

Notice: Giant Wolf's speed is slower than the User and the enemy shadow step is in cooldown. Eliminating the Enemy.

Seth's body rushed in the Wolf Giant's direction as Rim proceeds to slowly shackle its body, binding it into submission.

"You're just quick, but you're quite weak."

Rim finally bound the Wolf Giant as it fights back, biting his gooey body.

Notice: Rim can only bind him for 10 secs. Auto-Battle preparing for the kill.

Seth's body jumped in the Wolf Giant's back, stabbing it from the top of its neck nonstop.

*SHING... SWOOSH... THUGCCSSHHHH... SWISH...*

With the Undying flames, every attack dealt stronger damage than the last as it killed the wolf.

Notice: Fyenrier is defeated.

Notice: No experience is gained.

Notice: The monster must've been a summon which is why it lacked strength and an abundance of skills.

While Seth killed the summoned pet Fyenrier, Aries also knew that it died.

***

"Let's finish killing these dragons and make sure to use Dimension Lock Negate and Greater Teleportation Ex once the Ancient Dragon Lord is awakened from its slumber. I don't want to get caught from one of its blasts which would surely kill us both."

"Well, if that is the case, then I guess he killed your summoned unit, Aries. I told you we should just kill him ourselves before this goes into a bigger problem."

"It's fine. I wish him the best of luck fighting the Ancient Dragon Lord once he gets out of the ruin of frost."

***

Notice: The user can enter the Ruin of Frost.

Seth Entered the Ruin of frost. He wandered around for a bit inside before he sensed some monster that was nearby.

Notice: All are low-level monsters lvl 35 and below. Race of Kobolds.

(Auto-Battle, kill them all. I need the experience.)

Notice: Activating all offensive skills.

Notice: Auto-battle mode will go on a rampage and annihilate all the Kobolds.

Seth's body rushed towards the Kobolds slicing them one by one as Rim and the Dark Shadow went to different parts of the Ruin to look for other possible enemies or routes inside the ruin.

(They look like dogs and dragons mixed into one while walking upright. Their drops are only random lesser loot. Even the Scourge Wolves have better drops.)

"Do not loot the Kobold Drops and throw away all the unnecessary loot that craft into unusable stuff."

Notice: Kobold Drop looting is deactivated.

(At this point, I need quality over quantity. I can't keep hoarding every little thing I see. They might just stay in my inventory for god knows how long.)

Notice: Rim found a different route that houses more Kobolds. Finishing killing all the other Kobolds on this path to reconcile with Rim.

Notice: Reactivating all offensive skills.

Notice: Current Kobolds killed, 523.

Seth continued his way deeper into the Ruins killing every Kobold he sees for roughly a couple of hours. He finally reached a hallway with a large open area as a dead end.

LVL UP! LVL 46.

Notice: Reached the Frost Arena Room.

Notice: Auto-Battle mode is preparing for combat. A High-level enemy is within sight.
