My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 173 - 137: Hurry Over Here!

Although Aiel’s level of power had further increased, at that moment, he was haunted by the memories of an extremely bad past.

All along, he had been exerting great effort to control his emotions.

This time, after obtaining and absorbing a portion of the White Dragon’s Blood.

He thought that with the enhancement of his strength, his self-control would improve as well, and he would never recall those painful memories again.

Aiel had a tragic childhood.

Raised by a single mother, he often faced bullying from peers, and only a few in the village showed him sympathy and offered help.

Then, at the age of thirteen, his mother fell gravely ill, and with their home on the brink of starvation, he not only had to bear the burden of buying medicine and caring for his mother but also had to work menial jobs to earn money.

He pleaded with people, did the dirtiest and most exhausting jobs, but these efforts were far from covering his mother’s medical expenses.

Even in such dire circumstances, the lord knight of the land still demanded taxes from his family.

Driven to desperation, never had he so longed for power—he loathed this noble-dominated realm; he sought to destroy it!

Perhaps it was born from extreme anger, or caused by the extremely cold weather that day, whatever the reason, it awoke the dormant faint White Dragon Bloodline within him.

He awakened.

Awakened to the White Dragon Bloodline, he successfully slaughtered the entire family of the lord knight, leaving not even their dogs.

But in his rage, he also massacred the entire village.

Even those who had helped him, like Aunt Leonie, woodcutter Tucker, and the girl he had always secretly loved, Valerie.

Upon regaining his senses, he held Valerie’s nearly torn-apart body and cried for a long time.

It was also on that day that a middle-aged man dressed in a Priest Robe passed by their village, witnessed the scene, and took him away.

Whenever he fell into a rage, these long-buried bloody memories seemed to come alive, aggressively assaulting him!

Thus, Aiel’s gaze towards Raine was filled with hatred.

"Damn you, why did you have to provoke me!"

After absorbing the portion of the White Dragon’s Blood, Aiel noticed that his transformation deepened the more furious he became.

From his original form having only his hands turn into sharp claws, now, near the inside of his shoulder blades on his back, fleshy wings akin to those of a dragon sprouted, indicating a deepening of his transformation.

"Then bear the consequences of angering me!"

"Swish!"

The White Dragon Mage Aiel merely kicked off with his left foot, and his speed nearly doubled, resembling a swift swallow darting towards Raine.

So fast that it was almost impossible to see his silhouette.

To onlookers, there was only a blur of white human imagery flashing past in a straight line.

This was not only an enhancement of leg muscle explosiveness but also the wings providing lift and glide effect.

"Boom!"

Upon first contact, though Raine shielded himself against Aiel’s strike, the Steel Boots scrapped two-meter-long marks on the hard flagstone ground.

Evidently, Aiel’s partial transformation into a White Dragon enhanced not just his speed but power as well.

Raine’s pupils slightly contracted, immediately chanting in his mind—

"Gigantification!"

Instantly, Raine’s muscles rapidly swelled, his height increased again by half a head over Aiel.

Confronted by the ice spikes striking like lightning, with a ’ding’ sound, Raine raised his shield steadily to deflect the opponent’s attack.

As Raine’s right-hand warhammer counterattacked, Aiel merely tapped his toes on the ground, propelling himself backwards a few meters away with ease to evade the strike, then quickly rebounded, racing towards him again!

"Ding ding clang clang!"

Possessing high-speed movement ability, Aiel simultaneously appeared from all directions around Raine, launching attacks at him!

Raine seemed like a steadfast rock on the shore, while the surging waves attacked from every direction.

Though Raine’s Warhammer swung as swiftly as the wind, accompanied by bursts of white ice-cold air, which was his class skill ’Frost Strike.’

Like Raine anticipated earlier, a White Dragon Mage, being a Dragon Vein Mage, has quite a good resistance against various magics, and their ice resistance, in particular, is extraordinarily high.

Even compared to him, is not much different.

Therefore, although his Warhammer attack continued to add ’Frost Strike,’ the cold effect did not affect Aiel in front of him.

Nor could it slow down his attack speed.

However, facing a formidable foe with a highly focussed spirit, unleashing ’Frost Strike’ with full force in gigantified form, he felt the class skill increasingly fluid and smooth.

All the scattered insights regarding ’Frost Strike’ rushed into his mind like fragmented pieces.

Of course, this still couldn’t change his passive beaten situation at the moment.

On the other side.

Aiel felt more and more excited as he fought.

His originally ice-blue vertical pupils now had more and more red blood threads emerging, and his emotions seemed somewhat uncontrollable as he continuously muttered:

"Too slow!"

"You are too slow!"

"What use is just having strength? Speed! Speed is the most important!"

"Raine, weren’t you just acting wild?"

"Is this all you’ve got?"

Suddenly, Raine’s expression stiffened!

"Boom!"

He chose to endure Aiel’s dragon claw strike, relying on the super defense of his new Armor of Courage, Raine used his elbow to clamp one of the opponent’s claws.
