My Dragon System
chapter-290

"Ice bind!"

Just then, a trail of ice was spread across the ground floor. As the large worm-like beast tried to wiggle itself away, its tail was now trapped in place. The top half of its body continued to squirm and scream.

As it wiggled, blood form it's already open wounds across its body started to leak even more. Then from the sky, Ray came jumping down with both of his fist held together and struck the beast on top of its head like a hammer.

< Advanced tier beast killed >

< Advanced tier crystal obtained (2) >

Ray then absorbed one of the crystals while keeping the other one in his inventory.

< 63/100 Advanced tier points >

The place truly was a blessing for Ray. There were plenty off advanced tier beasts and every time he would absorb their crystal Ray would only feel stronger and all his tiredness and wounds from the fight before would heal up.

Originally, Ray was going to just absorb all the crystals he had come across but now he decided to keep one for its healing effect just in case of a tough battle ahead

He also had obtained two more advanced tier crystals that he had placed in his void that wasn't received from the system, to later be turned into more equipment or at the very least to sell for coin.

But as Ray was busy looking for his next thing to hunt, a strange system message had appeared. One that he hadn't seen in a very long time.

< 7 new tasks have been complete >

< 22/1000 Task complete >

< 7 new skills have been unlocked >

This was an unexpected message, Ray had a theory that the system was based on how many peoples lives he had saved but right now he was in the middle of the shadow continent with no one around him.

Then a thought had come to his mind.

"Was it Noir?"

He had sent out Noir a while ago and asked her to protect any students that she could find. Since Noir was part of his system it would make sense that if she saved anyone, it would also count as him saving people.

Either way, he couldn't complain about unlocking more skills.

< Fire resistance >

< Water resistance >

< poison resistance >

< Ice resistance >

< Earth resistance >

The first five skills that had been unlocked where all resistance skills. When Ray went to look at the information, each one of them said the same thing. The resistance's strength was dependent on how many points wherein your attribute. It would be 20 percent of your total attribute points.

An example of this was Ray's fire attribute points. They were currently at 40, 20 percent of this was 8. So as long as a person's fire attribute when attacking him was less than 8, it would have no effect.

If the fire attribute was higher, then Ray would still be able to resist at least 8 points of power.

Of course, this was even hard for Ray to gauge, because his system put everything into a number's perspective. When he looked at an attack or if a fireball was shooting towards him, there would be no way for him to tell how strong a fire attack was.

However, this also meant that most of the resistance skills he had obtained where useless, for he currently only had an attribute in two elements, which were Ice, and fire.

What Ray was more interested in were the last two skills he had unlocked.

<Fire blast>

This skill allowed for a constant stream of fire to be released from the user's hand. Using the skill cost 1 mana every five seconds. It seemed like a hefty price but Ray would just have to keep an eye on it for now.

And finally, the last skill.

<Fire energy >

Using half of the user's mana points, all fire-related skill would be doubled in power including any resistance related skills for thirty minutes.

It was a buff skill that also acted as a double-edged sword. Although his fire attacks would be doubled which was a considerable amount more, it also meant he would have to finish the opponent off quickly.

Although Ray would have liked to test both of the skills out, he was in a dangerous place at the moment and needed all the energy he had.

Just then though as he was getting ready to head to his next destination, Ray saw something dash out from the edge of the forest and it started to feast on the worm he had just killed.

Usually, a beast would be put off by the blood of the beast the same tier as itself or higher. They knew that whatever killed it must have been strong so they would try to stay away.

Which meant whatever was feasting on the worm was at least above an advanced tier level.

As Ray looked at the beast, he noticed it looked similar to a lion, only where its mane would be around its neck it was completely made of fire and the beast legs looked almost horse-like.

For now, while the beast was busy feasting Ray would leave it alone. There was no need for him to do battle with something stronger than an advanced tier at the moment. He couldn't absorb the crystal and although he would have loved to get a King tier crystal to make into equipment.

In the shadow continent, that would make him as powerful as a Super tier beast.

However, as Ray took a few steps forward, the beast had quickly finished with its meal or so Ray thought. The beast was actually looking for the beast crystal inside and when it arrived there was no such thing.

Now the beast was furious and looking for a target to take its anger out on and unfortunately, Ray was its closest target.

The fire on the lion creature's mane started to burn even brighter, the tree's surrounding it had caught aflame and were slowly burning to ashes.

"I gave you a chance to live," Ray said looking at the large beats.
