"Human! You can’t escape!"

"Death is your only destination!"

But soon, within just ten seconds, White Dragon Han Zhuo noticed that the ice crevasse ahead was getting narrower. Even with its wings folded, its massive body was gradually becoming difficult to maneuver.

Meanwhile, Raine, without slowing down, charged forward and within mere seconds had already entered a deeper section of the crevasse.

The furious White Dragon Han Zhuo used its gigantic claws to fiercely dig into the hard glacier, hissing, causing pieces of ice to continuously fall.

However, the calm White Dragon Han Zhuo soon gave up on the idea of digging through the ice to advance.

Although its dragon claws could easily scrape off large pieces of hard ice, the problem was that digging through a mere hundred meters was fine, but going several hundred or even a thousand meters would be unbearable even for its giant dragon physique.

"Human, the depths of the glacier are unbearably cold. I don’t believe you can stay there forever!"

This millennia-old glacier was particularly special, its internal coldness no less than that of a continuously cast Third Level Spell ’Snow Rainstorm.’ To White Dragon Han Zhuo, even humans of a transcendent level couldn’t withstand it for long.

Of course, this was because it hadn’t seen its brother, Bing Zhuo, repeatedly casting Frost Breath to no avail.

After speaking, White Dragon Han Zhuo retreated slowly, took to the sky again, and began circling at high altitude, with its dragon eyes fixed intently on the area around the narrow crevasse.

With an aerial overview coupled with its keen perception, it could undoubtedly notice the first sign if the other party used Any Door.

...

As Raine passed under the sky slit and saw the white dragon’s silhouette appearing in the sky again, he couldn’t help but slowly stop, releasing a long breath.

"Phew~~~ Finally stopped chasing." Raine exhaled a plume of white breath, expressing relief.

Although Raine felt no exhaustion in his stamina due to the dragon blood bath, the constant monitoring of White Dragon’s attacks from the sky had inevitably kept him mentally tense.

Feeling his body still burning and the dragon blood transformation ongoing, Raine thought for a moment before using his Warhammer to strike the nearby glacier wall, quickly chiseling out an ice cave large enough to accommodate a person.

With the Frost Giant Commander’s ice resistance, Raine felt no cold within the extremely frigid glacier interior. Instead, he felt a sense of comfort like a polar bear returning to the Arctic.

"It seems the effect of the dragon blood bath might take a day, or even several days." Raine recalled.

While in the Adventurer’s Association’s second floor, he had read some dragon slayer memoirs, which included a rough description of the duration and effects of bathing in dragon blood.

"This period can be a good time for me to rest." Raine glanced at the attribute panel from the corner of his eye, seeing that all his physical attributes, such as Power, had increased from 12 points when he initially upgraded to Level 5 Classes, now reaching 13.6.

Soon after, the value jumped to 13.7, continuing to rise steadily.

The same was true for his agility, constitution, and other attributes.

"I wonder how much the dragon blood bath will ultimately enhance me?"

Amidst his joy, Raine couldn’t help but look forward to it.

"Huh? There it is!" Gazing at the vivid white dragon icon in his sixteen-slot bag, Raine’s eyebrows lifted, and his smile grew even brighter.

Although he had previously obtained a partial White Dragon Bloodline, this was the first time he secured a complete white dragon icon, filling him with excitement, anxiety, and curiosity as he proceeded to inspect it.

The Bloodline Talent still consisted of five items, but compared to the ’partial White Dragon Bloodline,’ the current Bloodline Talent was now complete.

The first item was ’Ice King.’

Ice King lv3, Effect: When casting any frost spell, its power is increased by 100%, and frost spells of Third Level and below are instantly cast; the speed of learning any frost spell is increased eightfold.

"Learning speed increased eightfold??"

"Tsk tsk, becoming a top Ice Mage in the future won’t be an issue at all!"

After marveling for a moment, Raine continued to read on.

The second item was ’Adult White Dragon Physique.’

Adult White Dragon Physique lv3, Effect: Power +14, Constitution +14, Agility +10, Intelligence +5, grants basic resistance to all magic except Frost Magic (wherein Frost Magic is 90% damage-immune, immune to damage from Frost Spells of Level 1-4), medium poison resistance, medium piercing defense, medium blunt weapon defense.

(Note: Under current physical condition)

"Indeed! The combat power of an adult white dragon surpasses even the Frost Giant Commander!" Raine’s eyes lit up.

"This enhancement is incredible! Truly worthy of a giant dragon!"

The third and fourth items were ’Thermal Imaging Vision lv2’ and ’Frightening Dignity lv3,’ which the Frost Giant Commander also had.

However, the Frost Giant Commander’s ’Frightening Dignity’ was only lv2, while the adult white dragon had reached lv3, offering better range and effect to intimidate most monsters of Challenge Level 3 and below.

The fifth item, ’Dragon Scale Defense,’ made Raine’s eyes brighten again.

Dragon Scale Defense lv3, Effect: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to form dragon scales on the body surface, enhancing physical defense capability, increasing overall magic resistance to medium level (except for frost), poison resistance, piercing defense, and blunt weapon defense to high level, lasting for 30 seconds.

"This is an explosive defensive talent."

"Quite rare."

Raine’s eyes flickered as he immediately thought of several applications for it.

Soon after, his gaze moved downward again.

At this moment, what entered Raine’s view were nine categories of spell-like abilities. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The first item ’Frost Breath.’

Frost Breath lv3​: Adult white dragon’s frost breath attacks a 50-meter fan-shaped area in front, causing all targets within the region to suffer frost damage and cold effects.

(Note: For targets without frost resistance, the cold effect reduces movement speed by 50%, extends attack intervals by 25%, lasting for 5 seconds.)

"White dragon’s signature spell, as powerful as a spell beyond Fifth Level." Raine clicked his tongue in wonder.

The second item ’High-level Invisibility Spell of Snow Ground’ was seen before, and his gaze swiftly moved past it.

The third and fourth items were ’Ice Storm’ and ’Ice Cone,’ both Fourth Level spells.

Ice Storm lv3​, Effect: Targets a point within 60 meters as the center, releasing a hailstorm with an approximate 40-meter diameter, extremely hard and cold, while the ground at that location quickly becomes difficult snowy terrain.

"A Fourth Level area attack spell, Ice Storm’s potency far exceeds the previous Third Level Spell Snow Rainstorm."

Raine had previously read about this spell in the Dorne City Adventurer Association Branch when researching spells of Fifth Level and below, and thus was fairly familiar with it.

Ice Cone lv2​, Effect: Condenses a sharp, 3-meter-long, 1-meter-diameter ice spike to target enemies, dealing piercing and frost damage.

"A Fourth Level single-target attack spell, uniquely effective and quite powerful."

"Next are the spell-like abilities at the Fifth Level." Raine felt a slight thrill in his heart.

As his gaze continued downward, what appeared were the fifth and sixth items: ’Ice Armor’ and ’Freezing Wind.’

Ice Armor lv3, Effect: Forms eight reinforced rhombus-shaped ice shields surrounding oneself or an ally, lasting 30 minutes or until the shield energy is exhausted.

Freezing Wind lv2, Effect: Blows an extremely cold wind at targets within a 20-meter range in front, causing massive frost damage and freezing the targets.

"Fifth Level, huh..."

"Normally, only a Level 9 Mage might have the opportunity to master such spells...." Raine felt quite moved.

The difficulty a Caster faces in reaching Level 9 is immense... Even for the highly talented, it would likely take years, if not decades, of effort.

But he, thanks to a Golden Finger, could quickly turn Fifth Level spells into his own.

After carefully reviewing these two Fifth Level spells, Raine’s gaze continued downward.

But when he saw the last three items, his heart couldn’t help but race vigorously!

The third-to-last item—’Ice Wall Spell.’

Ice Wall Spell lv2​, Effect: Targets a point within a 60-meter range and releases a hard and cold ice wall no longer than thirty meters, or divides it into up to ten small ice walls with a total length not exceeding thirty meters.

"Sixth Level Spell!"
