My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 227 - 156: What Is the 3rd Special Effect? (Part 2)
The silver Warhammer swiftly spun back into Raine’s hand.
As for the Hook Claw Monster....
The opponent raised its forelimb to block the first strike, but the second strike hit the bald vulture head directly, killing it on the spot!
"Boom!"
With a heavy thud, the Hook Claw Monster, with a challenge level of four, easily died at the hands of Raine’s new Warhammer.
"Double Strike?"
"Oh my! Raine, can I have the Warhammer back?"
Laisa beat her chest in regret, looking as if she was genuinely remorseful.
Of course, Raine and Sulfur Vine knew Laisa was joking.
"No." Raine, in a great mood, replied with a smile.
"I can’t believe it’s Double Strike! Sulfur Vine, I’m so regretful, I plan to go back and learn Warhammer."
After a bit of laughter and banter, Sulfur Vine pondered and asked:
"By the way, if this Warhammer is an Epic Magic Equipment, then it should have at least three special effects, right?"
"But with attack acceleration and Double Strike, that’s only two effects."
"What could the other one be?"
"Yeah! Is there another one?" Laisa’s eyes widened.
"There must be, it’s just that we don’t know the trigger conditions or how to use it." Sulfur Vine confidently said.
Hearing Sulfur Vine’s words, Raine tightened his grip on the Warhammer, feeling even more delighted.
However, he wasn’t too concerned about uncovering all the special effects of the silver Warhammer right now.
After all, some magic equipment has very rare trigger conditions.
And they had rested enough, it was time to head back.
"Let’s appraise it once we return."
"We should head back now."
....
Meanwhile.
Two imposing figures appeared at the entrance of the rift tunnel.
The Master of the Dark Furnace, Lokar, and High Priest Dughar exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of surprise and heaviness in the other’s eyes.
The surprise was because logically, besides their Dark Furnace Clan and their surface ally, the Talin Association, no one else should know about this tunnel entrance.
In fact, to avoid drawing the attention of the Drow and Mind Flayers, they hadn’t stationed any official force at the tunnel entrance.
Normally, they didn’t worry about outsiders entering.
Because whether it’s the Drow or the demons, even if they found the right path through the maze-like rift, they would certainly retreat or avoid once they got near the cave of the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon due to its dragon might.
The heaviness was because if the other party truly knew about this tunnel, then a troublesome situation might arise.
That is, by the time they arrive, the opponent might have already passed the cave where the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon resides.
If that’s the case....
"This could be a bit troublesome, not far ahead is the lair of the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon...." High Priest Dughar thought for a moment, then immediately turned to instruct:
"Gather all the clan’s young elites with a Level 5 Classes nearby."
"As you command, High Priest."
Guard captain Angrel glanced at the Master of the Dark Furnace, who also nodded, then bowed and quickly left.
The Master of the Dark Furnace, Lokar, certainly understood his old friend’s intention.
If the opponent gets past the lair of the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon, then the clan’s high-tier combat strength won’t be able to catch up.
Not to mention the two transcendents, himself and Dughar.
After all, dragons are very territorial.
Those not within a dragon’s sight naturally don’t matter, but if there’s a certain level of threat, it’s a different story.
It’s like if there are a few ants at a person’s feet, they probably wouldn’t even lift their eyes, and might not even be interested in lifting their foot to crush them.
But what if it’s not ants, but rats?
Or wolves?
Then the situation is completely different.
...
Spore Forest perimeter.
Finally coming to his senses, Frith, still unwilling to give up, was lurking on the outskirts of the Spore Forest, observing the movements of the Gray Dwarves from a distance.
He had just seen the appearance of the Master of the Dark Furnace, and faced with such extraordinary strength, he naturally didn’t dare approach, nor did he even dare to breathe heavily.
Yet, even so, he hadn’t given up.
Counterattacker was his obsession!
At this moment, in Frith’s vision, a Gray Dwarf clad in golden armor came running rapidly, shouting at the hundreds of elite Gray Dwarves in the Spore Forest:
"(In Dwarven Language) Clan members with a Level 5 Classes, not lower, not higher, quickly follow me!"
"Repeat, clan members with a Level 5 Classes, not lower, not higher, quickly follow me!"
"As you command! Lord Angrel!"
Soon, over ten elite Gray Dwarves with Level 5 Classes were selected and followed the guard captain Angrel, clad in shining gold armor, towards the hidden tunnel.
’What is....?’
Frith’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After several hours of calming down, his rational mind had mostly returned.
’Judging from the other party’s actions, it seems like they’ve discovered something.’
’But this direction... it’s not right.’
’It’s not heading towards the surface.’
’Forget it! I’ll follow them first and see!’
....
A mere hour passed.
The Master of the Dark Furnace, Lokar, and High Priest Dughal arrived at the location where Raine had killed the Hook Claw Monster.
This was due to the varying width and unevenness of the chasm passage, which made high-speed travel inconvenient.
At this moment, both of the extraordinary beings focused their gaze on the wounds of the Hook Claw Monster.
"These are the attack marks of a Counterattacker."
"Yes, judging from the bloodstains, they haven’t left for long."
"Quick! Perhaps we can intercept them before they pass the Lava Cavern."
..... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
As time went on.
Raine and his companions had already arrived near the Lava Cavern.
However, at this time, Raine had a vague ominous premonition in his heart.
’Could it be that the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon is about to awaken?’
Raine felt the faint heat wave coming from the fiery cavern ahead and was puzzled.
After thinking for a while, Raine took out a crystal-clear beast bone from his waist pouch, the very beast bone obtained from the Wild Boar Earth Diviner.
He wanted to divine.
Ever since obtaining the Monster Skill—’Earth Divination Skill’, Raine had never performed it.
Earth Divination Skill lv1, Effect: Utilize the power of the earth to determine the fortune or misfortune of one thing you are about to do within half an hour.
"Huh? Mr. Rein, are you planning to divine?" Sulfur Vine’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, I always feel something isn’t right." Raine nodded.
He didn’t know if his uneasiness was due to the warning sign from the ’Wild Boar Shaman Bloodline’.
But since he had learned divination, why not give it a try?
Laisa also appeared skeptical, her eyes filled with astonishment as she sized up Raine.
With the thought of determining the fortune of passing through the Lava Cavern ahead, Raine silently chanted a spell and gently inserted the beast bone into the soil.
As a swirl of earth-yellow energy spiraled up the beast bone, it became increasingly translucent.
"Snap!"
The beast bone fell forward.
The thought of ’unhindered path ahead’ instantly popped into Raine’s mind.
’Hmm? No danger ahead?’
"Does that mean the danger comes from behind?"
Raine couldn’t help but look back.
Vaguely, he saw two figures appearing within his vision enhanced by Dark Vision.
But the problem was, Raine couldn’t perceive the presence of the two at all!
And just from a direct glance, a sense of fear arose from the depths of Raine’s heart.
This immediately made Raine understand; it was because of the opponent’s strength being far superior to his own.
So strong?!
"Quick! Quick, run!"
Saying so, the expression on Raine’s face changed drastically as he grabbed the two women and rushed towards the Lava Cavern as if fleeing.
Mere seconds passed.
Two imposing figures appeared in the lines of sight of Raine and his companions, who were looking back continuously.
"The crown! It’s the Master of the Dark Furnace!" The two women instantly turned pale.
The opponent’s identity was easily recognizable, as the three of them had all seen the information at the association.
"Extraordinary strong person..."
"And there are two of them..."
The Master of the Dark Furnace, Lokar, stopped a few steps ahead of the High Priest.
For extraordinary beings, the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon’s perception was much more sensitive than ordinary levels of power.
And if the two continued to move forward, they might trigger it at any moment.
"Damn! Just a little more!"
Having run a few more steps, but as the dragon’s pressure became clearer, the Level 9 Classes Captain of the guards, Angrel, couldn’t help but curse softly.
"It’s not too late. They can’t escape." The Master of the Dark Furnace, Lokar, said in a deep voice while glancing at High Priest Dughal.
"I’m counting on you, old friend."
"Don’t worry!" High Priest Dughal smiled and nodded.
With a murmured spell, he pointed towards Raine and his companions, who were about to enter the cavern.
"Upcasting! Group Hold Person Spell!"
