My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 269 - 171: Still a Chieftain! (2)

Now, the safest choice for her is to first restore her strength and vitality, and then see if there’s an opportunity to ambush the opponent later.

At this moment, the battle in the cavern hall has reached its climax!

Facing a move that froze the Wild Boar Chief, Raine still didn’t approach, but instead started casting a spell again.

Out of caution.

A ball of lightning brewed in Raine’s hand; it was the Wild Boar Shaman’s killer move—the ’Third Level Spell Lightning Arrow.’

Using the killer move of the Wild Boar Shaman against the Wild Boar People, isn’t that using the barbarians’ own tricks against them?

Of course, the main reason is that this is the only single-target attack spell among the monster skills Raine possesses.

The power of attacking a single target surpasses even the similarly third-level spell Snow Rainstorm for group attacks.

"Crack!"

At this moment, the ice layer suddenly shattered!

It seemed that, having failed to lure Raine closer, the severely injured Wild Boar Chief Lamusta turned red all over, his muscles further swelling, and forcefully broke through the ice freeze.

But due to being in a severely injured state, with large areas of skin necrosis, blood was flowing rapidly and seeping out from the necrotic parts of the body surface. At this moment, Lamusta resembled a blood-colored wild boar person.

He looked increasingly terrifying and ferocious!

Indeed!

Raine squinted slightly; the opponent’s cunning and toughness were even more exaggerated than he expected.

Just now, his conservative tactics were correct.

Even though the opponent was severely injured, Raine didn’t intend to engage in melee with him right at the start, and Benest’s thoughts coincided with his.

By comparison, Benest’s tactics were a bit more seasoned.

However, it seems now that no matter how good the plan and perfect the execution, facing the powerful Wild Boar Chief, there’s still a slight trend of losing control of the situation.

The remaining strength of the opponent still exceeded everyone’s expectations.

However, this also made Raine’s gaze towards Lamusta become increasingly heated.

So strong even when heavily injured.

If he could kill and acquire the opponent’s bloodline....

"Crack!!"

The pale blue current, like a wandering snake, danced wildly over the heavily injured Wild Boar Chief Lamusta’s body, but he didn’t care and continued to rapidly approach Raine!

However, judging by the opponent’s somewhat staggering and heavy footsteps,

It was apparent that the Third Level Spell Lightning Arrow still played a role in further weakening the opponent.

"Frost Armor Spell!"

"Thorn Shield!"

"Second-stage Gigantification!"

...

Only to see Raine quickly cast the frost armor made of white ice crystals on himself, then layered himself with a Thorn Shield entwined with three thorns.

If he wasn’t afraid of exposing the Golden Finger, he could actually cast one more Bone Shield on himself.

With the casting of the Second-stage Gigantification, Raine, whose physique had grown considerably, didn’t look much shorter than the Wild Boar Chief Lamusta and initiated a Barbaric Charge to rush forward.

No matter how good the plan is, in the end, it all boils down to a contest of strength.

"Bang!!"

The two muscular men collided fiercely!

But even in a full-powered state, Raine was no match for the heavily injured Wild Boar Chief Lamusta.

He retreated three to four steps, creating several pit holes in succession on the ground before he barely managed to stand firm.

At this moment, the Wild Boar Chief Lamusta pursued the victory and suddenly took another step forward.

"Stomp!"

"Boom!!!"

The ground immediately cracked, and a dense web of cracks centered on Lamusta’s steel boots instantly spread out.

And Raine was stunned on the spot.

The next moment!

"Die! Human!"

Lamusta roared angrily and swung down the giant warhammer in his hand heavily towards Raine’s head!

"Raine!"

Elise, who had been paying attention to the battle, immediately cast the prepared Divine Art ’Stone Skin Protection’.

A yellowish light immediately enveloped Raine’s body surface.

Now, Raine had a total of three layers of protection on his body surface.

"Puff puff!"

As the stone skin and thorns were successively broken by Lamusta’s heavy hammer, Raine suddenly raised his Obsidian Defender to withstand the opponent’s heavy hammer strike.

This caused a hint of confusion and a trace of regret to flash in Lamusta’s eyes!

It seemed to say—’How did you recover from the dizziness so quickly?’

The trace of regret was because Lamusta knew he missed the best opportunity to kill the opponent.

In fact, the reason for coming to senses from dizziness earlier was due to another monster skill of Raine—’Firm Will Lv2.’

The Firm Will from the Gray Dwarf Combat Priest significantly shortened the stun duration.

This was also considered using a monster skill to counter a monster skill.

Raine, once again repelled, instead felt a sense of reassurance.

Although he had been continuously hit by Lamusta’s heavy hammer strikes, always in a passive state of being beaten, he had also figured out Lamusta’s condition.

If the opponent had been in peak condition, he feared he wouldn’t withstand even two moves.

But at this moment, the opponent was already at the end of his strength.

Just moments ago, he obviously tried to take Raine down with one explosive burst, but Lamusta faltered.

The counterattack began!

As the Courage War Boots planted themselves in the furrow they had dragged on the ground, in the next instant, the boots kicked up large clumps of dirt into the air!

"Armor-Piercing Strike!"

Raine focused on the Counterattacker in his hands, two identical shadows appeared along the swing path, heavily smashing towards Lamusta’s head!

At this moment, Benest also finished off the other critically injured High-tier Boarman Warriors and began to concentrate fire on Lamusta.

In less than half a minute!

"Thud!"

The already severely injured Wild Boar Chief Lamusta finally collapsed, utterly exhausted!

"Lord... Lord Mentar... will avenge us!"

....

"Huff ~ Huff ~"

Wiping away the beads of sweat from his forehead, and glancing at the sixteen-slot pack with a new, shiny icon, Raine felt like he had acquired a treasure after enduring eighty-one trials!

Raine had once fantasized—’to collect all the badass monster bloodlines near Dorne City, like the Frost Giant Chief of the Lankote Snowfield, the master of the White Dragon Nest, the Gray Dwarf Master of the Dark Furnace underground, and the Wild Boar Chief of the Valley of Dead Water.’

Thus gathering the monster skills of these four great bosses all into one!

But it was mostly just daydreaming back then.

Yet unexpectedly, he actually managed to accomplish one-fourth of it so quickly.

Although it was the only non-transcendent among the four great bosses, the bottom rung Wild Boar Chief bloodline of the Valley of Dead Water.

But a chief is a chief, after all!

"That Wild Boar Chief was too powerful, even severely injured, still so strong!" Laisa remarked with lingering fear, patting her chest.

"Yes! My Second Level Spell Thorn Entangle lasted only a second before it was broken by the opponent; fortunately, Mr. Raine’s timely spell casting." Sulfur Vine wiped the sweat from his nose, finally calmed down a bit.

"Let’s everyone recover for a bit first!" Raine said.

"Alright, let’s go rest on the side for now."

Everyone agreed.

However, instead of sitting by the campfire, they quickly hid in the adjacent dark area to start resting and adjusting.

Raine also took the opportunity to quickly examine the newly acquired Wild Boar Chief bloodline.

...

Meanwhile.

Seeing Raine and his four companions resting, Veronica’s gaze roamed between Raine and Benest, before finally pausing briefly on Elise and Sulfur Vine.

’If I weren’t injured, I could handle all of them by myself.’

’But right now, those two humans are quite strong!’

’Moreover, having two healers in the team, this human adventurer squad is quite unusual....’

Veronica was not unfamiliar with human adventurers, in fact, she was quite knowledgeable from a certain perspective.

Because, as a battle mage of the well-known Drow city Belendaan in the Underdark, the number of human adventurers she personally killed each year never fell below the count of five fingers.

Every year!

So she was very familiar with the team dynamics of human adventurer squads.

The two-healer team setup, if she remembered correctly, it was her first time witnessing it.

’Looks like they intend to delve deeper.’

’That’s actually good! Just so they can scout the way for me, while I recover from my injuries.’

’Just not sure how they plan to get past the Brain-Eating Monster’s defenses?’

’But it doesn’t really matter, once I’ve recovered seventy to eighty percent of my strength, hehe...’

Veronica’s thin red lips curled into a sneer!
