"It’s simple. Did you all see when I cast Freezing Ray in the Deep Moss Spider Cave?"
"Yep, yep!" Elise nodded like a pecking chick, full of anticipation, hoping Raine would continue right away.
"Yes!" Seeing Raine showing signs of wanting to speak, Laisa also nodded eagerly, with a joyful expression.
"I might have some talent for Ice Spells."
"Hunting the Frost Blade Leopard is actually because I’m just a step away from completely mastering Ice Blade Spell, and I’ve always had a voice calling from within, that if I observe the Frost Blade Leopard casting Ice Blade Spell, I should be able to fully master it!"
"Of course, this observation requires full immersion, and the best way is to fight with the Frost Blade Leopard," Raine said calmly, without a hint of embarrassment.
Huh?
Laisa and Elise exchanged a glance, then both turned to Raine again with a ’yeah, right’ expression.
"Are you kidding children? Tell the truth," Laisa crossed her arms and gave Raine a sideways glance.
"Mr. Rein, this time I’m on Miss Laisa’s side." Elise covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Don’t believe me?"
Speaking, Raine raised his hand and pretended to recite a few barely noticeable syllables. A crescent-shaped, icy cold Ice Blade appeared before the two women.
In reality, the monster skills Raine had acquired thus far, whether the Spider Web Spell from the Deep Moss Spider, or the Ice Blade Spell just acquired from the Frost Blade Leopard, didn’t require an incantation, hand sign, or medium.
Like the original owner of the skill, they could be released directly.
Raine’s muttering spells or gesturing were mainly for his teammates or others to see.
But here’s the point.
Even a mage of Classes Level 3, mastering Second Level Spell like the Spider Web Spell, normally needs incantations, hand signs, and a small bundle of spider web (medium); none can be missing.
Don’t underestimate such differences.
The same spell, one requires chanting, the other doesn’t. If the enemy casts Second Level Spell Silence Spell to interrupt Raine’s spellcasting, they would face a tragic outcome, as the Silence Spell cannot stop Raine’s spell.
Because Raine’s casting of Spider Web Spell doesn’t need incantations, hence no need for sound transmission.
This kind of misjudgment in battle can be extremely deadly.
Essentially, Raine’s spells are covered by the outer skin of monster skills.
"Swoosh!"
A frosty white streak remained in the air, but the Ice Blade had already struck a giant stone.
With a "bang," it exploded, leaving a deep mark on the impact site, while white ice spread immediately.
This scene reflected in the wide eyes of the two women, with Laisa exclaiming in disbelief:
"What the—!"
"First Level Spell Ice Blade Spell!"
"My god! What kind of freak are you?"
"You’ve already mastered at least two First Level spells before, and now you have the Ice Blade Spell; even an Official Mage at Classes Level 1 couldn’t reach your level."
"Damn! You must be the bastard child of the Magic Goddess!"
"Shh! Miss Laisa, don’t say things like that carelessly," Elise quickly gestured for silence, exclaiming, "What if Her Majesty overhears?"
Despite saying this, Elise’s internal shock was no less than Laisa’s.
Just then, Raine’s expression slightly froze, as if momentarily distracted.
Because suddenly.
Raine vaguely sensed a blurred thought from the third shadow on the left among those seven or eight phantoms high above.
