My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 251 - 165: Mutant Individual

Top floor of the Adventurer’s Association in Mill Town.

As five Griffins landed one after the other, five women in uniforms of the Soladin Kingdom jumped down from the Griffins.

Yes.

They weren’t Griffin Knights, but rather controllers.

Just like horses with different classifications, such as draft horses and warhorses, Griffins too are divided into ordinary riding Griffins and elite combat Griffins, with differences shown in their size and Challenge Level.

Ordinary riding Griffins are mostly around four meters in length, with a Challenge Level of Level 2, while elite combat Griffins have an average Challenge Level of Level 3, and special individuals can even reach Level 4 or higher.

Generally, only elite combat Griffins are trained to be aerial combat mounts, and the personnel associated with them are referred to as Griffin Knights.

Ordinary Griffins are mostly used as flying mounts, and the personnel associated with them are called controllers.

In Raine’s past life, this was somewhat akin to the distinction between fighter pilots and commercial pilots.

"Mr. Benest, we meet again."

"Lieutenant Chloe, thank you for your trouble."

"You’re welcome."

As she spoke, Lieutenant Chloe, with her short golden hair, nodded and smiled at Elise and the other two women.

At this moment, she glanced around with some confusion and asked:

"Huh? Colonel Tessa mentioned there were five of you, but now there are only four."

Just as Benest was about to speak.

Suddenly.

The iron door on the top floor opened, and a tall young man wearing silver-gray spiked armor, with a sharp ram on his left shoulder, walked out.

As he approached, the Griffins unexpectedly became agitated, and for some reason, their eyes showed fear, and they took a few steps back.

One of them even visibly flapped its wings, looking ready to flee at any moment.

If it weren’t for the female controller desperately pulling the reins and continuously patting it to calm it down, that Griffin might have taken off already.

This made Lieutenant Chloe blink in surprise as she scrutinized the approaching young man.

He had a strong presence, and if she remembered correctly, the armor he wore was the best of the Black Iron Level Courage Set among Combat Professionals, but even so, it shouldn’t make the Griffins so afraid, should it?

What exactly is going on?

"Mr. Raine! This full Courage Chest Armor suits you perfectly." Elise quickly approached, holding her Scepter with both hands and blinking her big eyes repeatedly.

"Raine, you’re looking quite handsome." Laisa praised while stepping forward to pat Raine’s newly repaired Chest Armor, "It’s been fixed, and it seems even harder than before!"

"Yes, yes, indeed." Sulfur Vine blushed slightly and nodded repeatedly, though she didn’t dare get too close to Raine.

Perhaps it was because Elise was next to Raine.

"Sorry everyone, I’m a bit late." Raine glanced around, stopping on Lieutenant Chloe, and said with a slight apology, "I just got the newly repaired chest armor from the second floor."

With last night’s acquisition of the Courage Shoulder Armor and Courage Gloves, he now had six pieces of the Courage Set.

This was considered the strongest set the Adventurer’s Association provided for Black Iron Level Combat Professionals.

If he wanted something better, he would have to wait until he advanced to a Bronze Level Adventurer.

The effects of the new two-piece set were relatively simple, but the set effects were quite satisfactory.

The special effect of the Courage Shoulder Armor is to enhance the effects of collision-type Combat Skills, and the Courage Gloves make one immune to disarming-type Combat Skills.

What pleased Raine most about it was the six-piece set effect—’Continuously benefiting from the Swift Wind buff, weight reduction by 25%, and attack speed increase by 5%.’

The weight reduction effect effectively increased his combat endurance and attack speed.

Plus, the 5% attack speed increase....

It significantly boosted his combat prowess.

He wondered if it would stack with the attack speed increase from his Warhammer.

He hadn’t had the opportunity to try it out.

But even if it didn’t stack, this six-piece set effect, although not as good as some powerful Monster Skills, was comparable to minor Monster Skills.

"Shall we depart?"

"Okay."

But as Raine approached, the Griffin under Lieutenant Chloe slightly cowered, looking somewhat panicked, and it emitted a series of low moans.

"Raine...sir, the Griffin said there’s something on you that makes it fearful."

Seeming to understand its Griffin’s moans, Chloe looked at Raine with a strange expression.

Why would this happen?

Chloe couldn’t figure it out.

Generally, only a very small group of people, such as high-level Demon Mages or Dragon Vein Mages, would make Griffins afraid.

But the one in front of her, Chloe could roughly judge that his Classes Level wouldn’t exceed Level 5.

"Hmm?" Raine was also taken aback.

Could this... be a hidden effect of the Courage Set?

"I know! Raine, could it be the Courage Chest Armor is stained with the aura of an Ancient Molten Earth Dragon?"

What dragon?

Hearing Sulfur Vine’s words, the eyes of the five female controllers, including Lieutenant Chloe, widened in shock.

Exaggerating much?

Did this young sir battle a dragon?

"Yeah, we’ve all taken baths. Mr. Raine, you probably just took the gear directly for repairs without ever washing or wiping it clean, right?" Sulfur Vine suddenly thought of something and said.

"Perhaps try taking it off?" Elise suggested, looking at Raine.

Without much hesitation, Raine immediately took off the Chest Armor.

After placing the Chest Armor aside, the commotion among the Griffins noticeably quieted down.

"So it really was because of that." Raine shook his head slightly.
