Ever Frost

Chapter 63: Drops

‘Trap? Treasure? This is obviously a challenge.’

Ebony was unbothered whether it was a trap or a treasure. To him the dungeon was challenging them. Take it if you can.

Plac...

Chapter 62: Trap or Treasure

“The Earthen-Topaz Core Golems are likely elite monsters. There shouldn’t be too many of them in this baby dungeon.” Hector commented.

“We..we already en...encountered three of them.�...

Chapter 61: Rest

Turning the clock back, hours ago. It was pitch black, dark and cold. Silent till a pinging sound echoed in the enclosed darkness.

“Tewa. Report.”

“Boss Hard! You’re in Ordina?�...

Chapter 60: Rabble?

“Ebony! Stone mage! Hel…”

“Get down!”

Ryley's urgent call broke Ebony’s line of thought on whether he would stay eerily calm if he killed a person.

Ebony heard Scarlet...

Chapter 59: Spiral Slope

‘...Woah.’

“I’m impressed.” Ebony said.

The wall that trapped them was broken wide open. On the ground far up ahead was a mix of the earth that the wall was made of and pieces...

Chapter 58: Walkway

Ebony no longer had an advantage over Scarlet. He needed to change the flow of battle. She was going to be really dangerous soon enough. Having no idea how, Ebony had his last resort of using what ...

Chapter 57: Foggy Peak

Ebony didn’t know how long he was asleep for but he woke up as if he had starved for a week. He felt weak. His resources were full so he was out for quite some time. Or not.

Ebony knew that...

Chapter 56: Clearing A Path

Mana conservation was the name of the game?

No.

Of course not.

Mana was there to be used.

And so Ebony did.

Frost Mist Perception Sphere was at maximum output. Its abi...

Chapter 55: Blockade

3 days.

For 3 days, they moved towards the shadow in the distance at a more leisure pace. Actively looking for fights, stopping and resting after a fight because all of them were hitting abov...

Chapter 54: Proceeding Halt

In a large room was a square table with 7 seats, two on each side with the exception of one. The room was luxuriously decorated with paintings, crystals and what not. Nothing in the room was made o...

Chapter 53: Closer Apart

It was more and more apparent that they were not the first party to reach the second floor. They did find signs of battles as they carried on. Fallen trees, deep gouges in the earth, blood. The dun...

Chapter 52: Meet

Breakfast was fruit salad including apples, melons and a grape like fruit more on the sour side. Fresh toast with sausages, beans and pan-fried mushrooms. A thick warm beverage that was a little mi...

Chapter 51: Night

Hector came back with Ryley on his back, the tip of his hair singed . Ryley was asleep, or unconscious with a frown.

“Looks like he’s not used to the mana density. He did run around the w...

Chapter 50: Camping

'Not enough offensive skills…’

Ebony was pretty awed by Scarlet’s and even Hector's damage potential. Especially Scarlet.

He had focused on defensive and evasive skills so much th...

Chapter 49: First Floor

As aggressive as they claim the dungeon to be, there were too many people around.

Larger groups of part gazelle part Rhoat monsters have attacked them but they could always see other parties ...

Chapter 48: Dungeon Delving

Ebony got 5 levels in his Class, 10 in his Sub-Class and 6 in his Profession. Reaching 60, 42 and 52 respectively.

Excluding the 6 points to Wisdom he still had 100 unspent stat points. Ebony...

Chapter 47: Awaited Day

A while back. Right after Ebony split off from Hector.

Ebony pulled the other golem away as Hector pushed his golem back so Tuffock couldn’t help both. Possibly because Hector told the othe...

Chapter 46: Golem Hunt

“It was all thanks to you, Hector.”

“...you’re quite the wretched rascal aren’t you.”

Now that Hector said that, Ebony did seem a little meaner to Hector. It was kinda fun m...

Chapter 45: Playing Around

“I only met her a few weeks ago, here in Plainston.”

“Nah wayyy. That kent beh all. She ain’t ass cold ta ya as ta uss.”

“Ye. yes. You protected. he.her from the metal fragm...

Chapter 44: Bar

After the introduction, none of them wanted to stay for the team duelling with other parties.

Hector suggested going for a drink, only Scarlet declined. Hector seemed unexpectedly happy about...

Chapter 43: Resolve

'So that’s the ice swordsman hybrid and the Xeng woman. She really is wearing a full mask. The other guy…seems like a normal stone mage, looks young for a human mage for one. Time for my dramat...

Chapter 42: Target Practice

The archer leaped right over staring the stone mage down from above, taller than Ebony and slightly taller than Hector. He had a long face with an angular chin. They were all clean shaven, Ebony ne...

Chapter 41: Party Gathering

Ebony was only able to survive early in the battle, due to his, possibly over 2500 Intelligence powered Layered Ice Carapace. He was not sure how 100% Mana Resilience worked even if it doesn’t ju...

Chapter 40: Who’s Flexing Now?

Fear and excitement was replaced with tranquil calm almost as soon as it came.

Ebony made a sharp turn to face the golem. Opting out of Icebody Enhancement as he needs the Agility, he’ll be...

Chapter 39: Bubble Hills

Ebony didn’t play around with multicasting and practising this time. He didn’t have the spare mana for it. Battle Song consumes 30 MP/Min and Repulsive Body consumes 100. Even with 100% mana ef...

Chapter 38: Sub-Class

“Bring me the list.”

“This is all of them at the moment, Sire.”

“...All boring. Help me sieve out the apprentice class, normal warriors, archers, rogues and mages.”

�...

Chapter 37: Upgrade

Ebony made a sphere of mana not unlike his compression training, pushing as much mana into without compressing it. The sphere expanded to his limit of more than 5 metres, he kept pulling everything...

Chapter 36: Elemental Affinity

Ebony went to the same inn again since he didn’t know any other and was too lazy to look for another. The inn was obviously well to do seeing how there were [Master Architect]s around. The surrou...

Chapter 35: Duel

“Thank you. For the inn and also this.” Ebony said and tetted in greetings, no longer actively avoiding Scarlet.

Gloves seemed to be worn by most people, even in summer. Maybe it was a fr...
