143 Chapter 143: Finy’s abilities


    “Hahahaha rise Finy, you’ve more than earned this reward.” Frostughed without restraint, feeling as though he just won a major jackpot. The feeling he was getting from Finy was equivalent to those goons Rock and Jin that he came across in Adam’s basement. Upper C-rank, and in some ways, Finy was even more powerful given the resilience of his body and the fact he could level up. Frost at his current strength wouldn’t be a match for Finy which under normal circumstances would be very dangerous. Yet Finy kneeled as though a knight without the slightest sign of disloyalty. How could Frost not be happy.


    Maya at the side had readied herself to act in case anything went wrong but was relieved once Finy kneeled and showed such admiration in his eyes. He wouldn’t betray her young master regardless of his strength. She released a light sigh before smiling.


    Listening to his master, Finy rose up to his massive height and towered over Frost.


    “Let’s take a look at your new status shall we.” Frost brought up the dungeon menu to view Finy’s new stats. He was very curious as to what monster he became. Unfortunately, however since he was easily C-rank Frost wouldn’t be able to summon another until he reached the required power level. Finy was a notable exception.


    Name: Finy


    Race: Ice trollmander


    Rank: C+


    level: 8/50


    Skills: [axe sh], [invigorating shout], [enrage], [mad charge]


    .....


    Passive: [war buff], [medium ice resistance], [mild aura], [adept axe mastery]


    Magic and chakra: [Ice bolt], [ice stomp], [frost breath]


    Remark: Ice trollmanders, veritable leaders of ice trolls, with great potential. Not only are they aplished fighters in their own right, they have ess to many skills that buff allies as well as devasting magic. A very well bnced monster. Finy a named monster bonded with Dungeon core Frost, surpasses his regrmander counterparts.


    Frost’s face was frozen in ce, the dungeon menu was showing far more than it used to. Finy was more than just a powerhouse he was a super powerhouse. Frost didn’t even know what half these abilities did. He looked back between the status page and Finy, unable toprehend what he was seeing.


    ‘Do I have divine luck or something?’ Regardless, Finy’s overpowered status was a good thing. Breaking out of his shock he called Maya over to take a look, she would have a better idea of all these skills and just how much of a talent Finy really was.


    “Wow that’s pretty impressive.” Maya’s eyes opened wide, just a shocked as Frost. Finy meanwhile gently smiled as Frost checked him out, unable to prevent a bit of cocky pride welling up within his chest.


    Maya knew about ice trollmanders and their rough strength level and surmised that Finy was equivalent to roughly half a rank stronger than his regr counterparts. He also had the skill [war buff] that was normally only found among B-rank trolls and other leader monsters. His potential was incredible.


    “Can you exin some of his abilities?”


    “I can but why don’t you ask Finy, he shouldn’t have any problem speakingmon tongue now.” Icemanders were considered fairly intelligent monsters that controlledrge tribes of trolls and other monsters. Speakingmon tongue was within their abilities but Finy seemed far more intelligent than just that, his mind likely rivalled that of a human.


    Finy couldn’t help but smile with pride, he rubbed the underside of his nose with his finger. He was happy to exin his abilities or rather brag to his creator.


    “Allow me to show you master.” Finy mmed his arm against his chest acting like a soldier requesting permission from a superior officer. With his evolution he was also granted a brand new axe, this one was made of 3-star pykrete and was a two handed behemoth,rger than Frost’s entire body. It was lying beside the broken bed, Frost and Maya were yet to notice it given their eyes being glued to his new and awesome body. Unfortunately, he wasn’t granted any new armour, still outfitted with a loincloth albeit it beingrger to fit his new frame, cleaner looking too but still offered no defensive properties. Finy was eager to swing his new axe with all his strength, greatly anticipating the devastation he could wrought. They’d need a wide open space to fully test his capabilities and this room wasn’t up for the task.


    Frost smiled and nodded his head, his eyes full of anticipation. Finy picked up his axe and the group of three left the recovery room and were greeted by the nervous stares of all the monsters in the de. They’d all been staring at the recovery room ever since that powerful st of energy made it’s way through the trees. Everyone from the goblins to Nanna and Loki were looking their way.


    When Finy left the doorway all of them felt an overbearing presence pressure their bodies. Finy’s [mild aura] was at work emitting a silent pressure on everyone. It’d take him some practise to control his aura, to not affect his allies.


    “Everyone I’d like you to meet Finy formerly a frost troll he has thus evolved after being granted a name and he’s going to show off his new capabilities so everyone could you give us some space.” Frost stepped forward speaking with his new regal tone he ordered his monsters. They all subconsciously moved backwards creating an open space in the middle of the de, not taking their eyes of Finy as they did. A wild array of emotions was going through Frost’s other monsters, curiosity, fear, pride, jealousy, and joy. Each and every one of them felt different but they all followed his orders without question. Even Nanna and Loki moved to the side.


    “The floor is yours Finy, show me what you’ve got.” Frost tapped Finy’s shoulder, granting him the floor before moving over towards Nanna and Loki to exin the situation, Maya joined him.


    Finy felt a little nervous being stared at by so many of hisrades but eventually made his way to the centre of the de with his massive axe in hand. There were dozens of wooden posts dotted around the de, either for defensive purposes or training, Finy wasn’t the only one who liked to practice and train.


    “I’ll go through my active abilities first then.” Finy faced up against a nearby wooden post, easily half a metre in diameter. He raised up his massive axe overhead in preparation.


    “[Axe sh]!” He tensed his arms and energy flowed into his axe, causing it to shine pale blue before viciously shing downward. A pale blue beam of energy howled from his axe cleaving the wooden post in two along with many trees dotted behind it. Even the ground was carved up sending dirt everywhere. The range wasn’t too far given that it was an axe, roughly ten metres or so but damn was it powerful. Frost couldn’t help but get riled up, the desire to spar against Finy growing.


    Finy released a restrained breath as he lifted his axe, very happy with the result.


    “Next, I guess would be [invigorating shout], it’s a support skill that increases the strength of nearby allies for a short period.”


    “Rahhhhhhhhhhhh” Finy roared activating the skill and some of the nearby monsters felt their bodies swell with power and vigour. It was as though they were suddenly pumped up with a burst of adrenaline, increasing not only their physical strength but their capabilities to endure damage as well. Even Frost was affected by it. Finy had quite a few benefits for those that fought beside him, verymander like.


    “Next [enrage], another buff type skill.” Finy took a wide stance before activating this skill.


    “[Enrage]” suddenly Finy’s muscles tensed up, his veins protruding, and his eyes turned red as he was filled with aggression. [Enrage] was self-exnatory, it filled the user with anger, increasing their strength and numbing their pain at the expense of reasoning.


    “Hu hu hu hu” Finy breathed rapidly as he tried to contain his anger and aggression. Hisst skill required him to be within the enraged state to utilise its full power.


    “[Mad charge]” energy flowed over his body, covering it in a thin veil of red light. “Rahhhhhhhh!” roaring with madness Finy charged towards a nearby tree over a metre in diameter.


    Boom! The resounding sh created a powerful booming sound, bits of wood flew everywhere, and the once powerful tree was turned to dust. Finy was unscathed, just out of breath as the enrage skill withdrew its effects. Thebination of [enrage] and [mad charge] was a very powerful finisher but came with risks. The user would be significantly exhausted after using it.


    p, p, p


    Frost started pping, generating a round of apuse throughout his monsters. He was greatly impressed with Finy’s active skills; they were very powerful indeed. If Finy had to fight against the Sanguine Snakes once again, he’d likelye out unscathed.


    Finy felt his strength slowly return, now he just had to exin his passive skills and magic.


    “For the passive skill [war buff], it activates when fighting an enemy. It grants me and allies within a 100 metre radius a small boost to strength and speed. The rest are self-exnatory and nothing special.” Although this passive buff didn’t seem like much, when in a grand melee with dozens or even hundreds of monsters taking part, a mass increase in strength could easily turn the tide of battle. Leader like skills have always been craved and sought after by people, having one almost guarantees a leadership role in any war, regardless of your other abilities.


    “Agreed I can work out what the others do, what about your magic?” Frost knew what adept axe mastery granted as well as the limits of a mild aura. He could feel it right now after all, just, unlike the rest of his monsters he wasn’t pressured by it.


    “Well....[ice stomp]” Finy skipped over ice bolt since he knew Frost already knew that magic. In response to his words, he stomped down with his right foot, generating a blue magic crest on impact. A road of spiked ice then grew from his foot towards a nearby wooden post, piercing it and encasing the lower half in ice. It was a more physical type spell, usually not used by the regr wizards given their body’s strength. It could be considered a mixture of magic and chakra since it was used by a monster and was equivalent to a 2nd circle spell.


    Finally, was his unique monster ability, usuallymon to those of the lizard type i.e., drakes and dragons. It utilised his mana but didn’t require a magic crest. He didn’t even need to use amand word for this one.


    Finy simply took a deep breath, nurturing a special nd within his body, mana filled this nd, causing it to glow blue and expand, forcing his chest outward.


    “Haaaaahhh” then suddenly, Finy released the built up energy generating a freezing cold breath attack that froze the area in front of him, turning a wooden post into an icicle. This was a powerful AOE attack thatsted 3 seconds or so before Finy ran out of energy. He’d have to wait a while to use his breath nd again given that he wasn’t a dragon.
