After failing the A ranked quest in the 3rd day of the Monthly Quest, Mo"s quest updated to a B ranked quest which he completed albeit a bit difficult. He received a mysterious key with ancient carvings on it which he doesn"t know what it is for together with a bit of TExp. Even after using status function skill, it only shows question marks on it. So he just didn"t mind it and placed it in Glenn"s storage ring."A barrel conquers all with my blood as bullets - Alucard"s Gun." Mo chanted and summoned his new skill. He played with the gun occa.s.sionally helping Shao deal with the monsters.
"With faith, we are cured. - Healing Hand" Glenn, who has learned a new tattoo skill after marking up to white brand, constantly chanted because of Mo"s HP consumption in every bullet he fired.
"Mo can you just use your other skill? You"re killing me!" Glenn complained.
"That"s practice for your new skill so you"ll get used to the chant. Me too, see." Mo said casually.
While strolling inside the island of ice, they faced a lot of savage beasts that are usually with ice abilities. Most were killed by Shao for training his blade skills helping him reach the 5th Mark of White Brand.
"Shao, why not choose something from Glenn"s a.r.s.enal for your white brand tattoo? It"ll help you increase your strength rapidly." Mo suddenly asked.
"Yeah, why not choose my fluffy dog design? It will help you become adorable, hahaha~" Glenn said teasingly.
Shao usually retort with a barrage of words just glared at Glenn then faced Mo with a rare serious face.
"Do you know a fighting job, "Blade Master"? he asked.
"Fighting job? Blade master?" Mo was confused.
"Fighting jobs is one of the many cla.s.sifications of jobs. It usually boosts warrior"s fighting ability and fighting techniques usually come from these job. These cla.s.sifications are also ranked with the same ranking system of brands. But I never heard about a Blade Master" this time Glenn answered.
"Glenn is right, and the "Blade Master" job is ranked as peak Demonic rank. I once read an ancient scripture describing the power of a "Blade Master" which can only be learned in a ancient sect called "Secte De La Foudre". This sect is said to be located in Glory Continent." Shao said.
"How is that connected to you not getting another tattoo?" Glenn asked curiously.
"To be qualified as a "Blade Master", there are requirements to be met: First, you need to have an innate blade tattoo, Lastly, no other tattoo should be acquired, so in every brand level, instead of having a new tattoo, you need to upgrade your innate tattoo using materials given by the system." Shao explained.
"So it basically means you can"t upgrade your strength until your awakening at blue brand because you don"t have a system yet and you don"t know what materials you need." Mo concluded.
"Yeah, sigh!" Shao sighed.
"Heyy! A human! A girl is fighting a huge a.s.s monster!" Glenn hysterically shouted while pointing to a certain direction.
Surprised, Mo and Shao glance at the pointed direction and saw a little girl with purple colored twin-pigtail hair. She was fighting a huge ant like monster.
Without delaying, Mo and Shao dashed to help the girl.
Just as they were about to attack, they stopped and heard the girl muttering silently, "Creacion de Hielo - Espada". Suddenly, a 2-meter ice sword formed from the girl"s right arm. She lifted the ice sword, which was an incredible feat for the small girl"s body, then slashed towards the monster"s face slicing it in half. Blood spluttered and dyed the white surface of the icy land.
The trio"s jaw dropped upon seeing the spectacle. Easily killing a 2nd Mark White brand monster like that can only be done by peak white brand warriors. But this little girl who look like a 9 year old had just done that.
Kim who had just killed the monster raised her head and stared with her purple colored large eyes towards the trio.
Without saying anything, Kim muttered, "Dominio Frio". Suddenly, the temperature dropped and the trio felt that there movements slowed. When Mo checked his stats, he saw that his Speed stats decreased by 50%.
"Who are you?" Kim asked with a fairy-like voice. Her eyes can"t seem to see there face clearly because of extreme hunger but she knows that she needs to protect herself against these unknown people.
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, "Kim?"
