235: Chapter 236 Mythical Summoner Equipment

"Intertwining ice and fire, protection and destruction coexist... It certainly has a unique charm." Lin Muyang watched this visually striking scene before him and couldn't help but whisper his assessment.

Mo Mingxue's temperament was naturally cold and sharp, and now, set off by the ice armor and ice shield, she possessed an even more dignified and inviolable majesty. Meanwhile, her leaping red hair and scorching blade light highlighted her restrained aggression, truly giving one a unique perception of "ice and fire".

Mo Mingxue felt the solid protective power coming from the armor, as well as the surging strength within her body, and was filled with shock and peace of mind.

She tried moving around and discovered that although the armor was thick, it felt exceptionally light and flexible when worn, not affecting her movements in the slightest. This mythic grade equipment was truly extraordinary.

Next, Lin Muyang picked up the skill book that was emitting a mysterious ice-blue luster — 《Ice Cold Ritual》.

A sweep of his mental power made its effect clear: after learning it, all damage caused by skills of any type released by the user would be forcibly converted into Ice-attribute damage. On this basis, the final damage of all Ice-attribute skills would be increased by 100%! Simply put, this was a heaven-defying support skill that could "Ice-attribute-ize" any attack and significantly strengthen Ice damage.

"This skill book..." Lin Muyang pondered for a moment before making a decision, "It's most suitable for Mu Yao."

Shen Muyao's class was an Ice Mage, and now that her talent had been upgraded to the Demigod Level talent 【Frost Empress】, this skill could directly double the Ice-attribute damage of all her skills; it was practically tailor-made for her.

Although the little fox Daji was also a mage, her talent and skill system leaned more towards comprehensive elemental manipulation and burst damage, rather than pure Ice-attribute specialization.

Shen Muyao, however, walked the path of extreme Ice damage, and this skill book would reach its maximum value in her hands. Lin Muyang wasn't worried about running out of skill books; as he continuously conquered high-tier secret realms, the output of mythic grade items would only increase, and he would always be able to find something suitable for everyone.

"Continue forward." Lin Muyang put away the skill book and cast his gaze behind the Frost Wolf King's corpse.

With the death of the guarding BOSS, the area ahead, which had originally been shrouded in thick icy fog, gradually cleared, revealing a path winding into the deeper glacier canyon.

On both sides of the road, wandering ice elemental creatures, frozen undead, and various demonized beasts adapted to the extreme cold environment began to appear. These were the standard small monsters in the secret realm. Although their individual strength was far inferior to the BOSS, they were numerous and often moved in packs.

According to the intelligence provided by Bear Country, just clearing these small monster areas had cost their pioneer group three or four days and had come at a considerable price.

But now, for Lin Muyang and his party, these were just experience and materials.

"Mo Mingxue, Mo Yingmei, you two take the lead in attacking. Pay attention to coordination and seize the time to improve your levels and skill proficiency." Lin Muyang ordered, while simultaneously maintaining the God-Tier Aura that covered the entire team.

By weakening the enemy and buffing his own side, the gap between the two sides was widened to an unimaginable degree.

"Yes, Master!" The sisters replied in unison, their fighting spirit soaring.

The battle began once again. This time, it was against the tide of small monsters surging from the secret realm.

Mo Mingxue took the lead, like a bright red sharp knife thrusting into the enemy group. With the terrifying shield provided by the "Ancient Icefield God Armor", she completely abandoned her defensive stance and focused entirely on offense.

An ice shield surrounded her body, and any monster that dared to approach—whether it was the claw strikes of ice elements, the spells of the undead, or the pouncing bites of demonized beasts—would, at most, stir up ripples on the shield upon impact, unable to shake her in the slightest.

Occasionally, an attack would trigger the "Frost Retaliation" effect, and the attacker would be instantly frozen by a layer of thick ice, unable to move.

She no longer needed to dodge, her twin blades dancing like a storm. The crimson blade light wove into a net of death in the snow and ice. Wherever she passed, ice crystals shattered, undead wailed, and monsters fell in swathes.

With shield values ten times her own, she could ignore the vast majority of attacks, transforming into an untiring killing machine.

Her younger sister, Mo Yingmei, remained steadily in the rear, holding the newly acquired longbow. This longbow had a very peculiar design, without traditional bow limbs or a bowstring.

Holding it felt like holding a bundle of flowing, constantly condensing and shattering extreme cold ice crystals. When she pulled the invisible "bowstring", the surrounding cold air and ice elements automatically gathered, forming crystal-clear ice arrows at her fingertips.

She didn't need a quiver; her magic power and the "Eye of the Ice God" were an infinite source of arrows.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Mo Yingmei drew her bow and notched an arrow, her movements flowing like water. Ice arrows overflowing with cold air left the string, moving as fast as lightning.

Each arrow hit its target precisely, not only causing massive Ice damage but also carrying a powerful, undispellable 80% forced slow effect!

The movements of the monsters struck by the arrows instantly became sluggish, like a crawling turtle, and some were even frozen directly in place, becoming sitting ducks.

The sisters, one melee and one ranged, cooperated with increasing tacit understanding. The older sister charged into the enemy formation, drawing fire and slaughtering in all directions; the younger sister performed ranged precision shots, controlling the field and finishing off enemies.

Under the terrifying amplification of Lin Muyang's Aura, their speed at clearing small monsters was astonishing. Often, a group of dozens of elite monsters would be completely wiped out within half a minute under the cover of Mo Mingxue's blade light and Mo Yingmei's ice arrows.

Experience points rose rapidly, like riding a rocket. After clearing each wave of small monsters, Mo Mingxue and Mo Yingmei's levels could increase by three to five levels!

They could clearly feel their own attributes soaring, their skill power increasing, and their control over power becoming more handy. This feeling of rapidly becoming stronger made both women immerse themselves in it, fighting harder the longer they fought.

Lin Muyang brought the other girls along behind them, leisurely picking up the loot scattered all over the ground while observing the battle.

Seeing Mo Mingxue completely give up dodging and choose the most violent stationary output style, the corner of his mouth curled up. This girl, with powerful equipment, had become much bolder.

But this was exactly what he wanted: a front-liner who could tank and deal damage would make the entire team's tactics more flexible.

"Is this the power of mythic grade equipment? And Master's Aura... It's too incredible." Mo Mingxue, in the gaps of battle, felt the near-immovable shield value, her shock beyond measure.

In the world she came from, combat was a life-and-death struggle that required extreme skill, courage, and luck. How could she have imagined that one day she would be able to charge wantonly into a mob of monsters like this, with a near-invincible shield?

This so-called world of universal class transfer, with its power system and combination of equipment and skills, completely subverted her previous cognition. When she was first summoned and heard Elabess explain these things, she thought it was a fantasy, but now experiencing it personally, she finally understood the horror of it.

Of course, the most core and critical part was still Master Lin Muyang's omnipresent, heaven-defying God-Tier Aura.

Without the weakening and amplification of these Auras, no matter how good the equipment was, she would never have been able to be so relaxed in the face of so many legendary-grade monsters with level suppression and rank suppression.

Thinking of this, her admiration and gratitude towards Lin Muyang grew even deeper. This seemingly young human master had capabilities that were simply unfathomable.

As for the fact that he was surrounded by many stunning girls... Mo Mingxue didn't care. What she valued most was survival and power. And both of these points were satisfied far beyond expectations with Lin Muyang, even solved with ease.

This allowed her long-tightened Heartstring to finally relax a little, and she was filled with unprecedented expectations for the future.

Thus, after confirming the absolute reliability of her own defense, Mo Mingxue's fighting style became more aggressive and bold.

She began to consciously use her body to take some area-of-effect skills or powerful attacks that originally required dodging, in order to test the shield's upper limit and the trigger probability of "Frost Retaliation", while focusing more energy on output efficiency. The speed at which she and Mo Yingmei killed monsters increased by another notch because of this.

However, Lin Muyang also noticed a problem. While classifying and putting away the epic-grade and legendary-grade materials he had picked up, he checked the quantity of "god-tier modification stone" in his storage space, and his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

"The god-tier modification stones are being consumed a bit too quickly..." He calculated in his heart.

In order to upgrade the newly acquired mythic grade equipment to a high enough level as quickly as possible to cope with higher-difficulty battles, he had used up more than half of the god-tier modification stones he had accumulated.

And this "Frost Corridor" was a 40-person scale legendary secret realm, where the monster intensity was higher, and the quality and quantity of dropped equipment were also better and more numerous.

Once this secret realm was cleared, the harvested mythic grade equipment would certainly not be few; by then, if he wanted to upgrade them all, the few modification stones he had on hand would likely be far from enough.

"It seems that after clearing this secret realm, I must find a way to get some more god-tier modification stones... Or, look for other reinforcement methods that can replace them?" Lin Muyang pondered. Resources were always an indispensable part of the path to becoming stronger.

The battle continued to advance, crushing everything along the way. The Mo Mingxue sisters were unstoppable, and soon they encountered the second guarding BOSS — a Frost Giant condensed from ten-thousand-year ice.

This giant was over twenty meters tall, possessed infinite strength, and its attacks carried large-area freezing and knockback effects. However, in the face of Lin Muyang's Aura suppression and Mo Mingxue's "Eternal Freeze Barrier" shield, its attacks seemed futile.

Mo Mingxue faced the giant's ice hammer strikes head-on, her twin blades outputting crazily, while Mo Yingmei used the "Eye of the Ice God" from afar to continuously shoot ice arrows with powerful slowing effects, limiting the giant's movements.

In less than ten minutes, the Frost Giant collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of ice crystals, contributing rich experience and several high-quality loot items once again, among which was another Ice-type mythic grade skill book, which Lin Muyang collected.

Next was the third BOSS, a group of cunning and ferocious Icefield Snow Banshees; the fourth BOSS, a Deep Sea Demon Kraken that lurked beneath the ice lake and could control both ice and water elements... One after another, powerful legendary-grade creatures fell under the increasingly proficient cooperation of the Mo Mingxue sisters and Lin Muyang's absolute suppression.

In this process, the sisters' levels soared like a rocket, quickly breaking through the level 80 mark and continuing to rise.

Their Origin Skills also gained considerable proficiency through frequent use; although they were still a long way from leveling up, they were finally on the right track. Lin Muyang knew very well that to truly improve Origin Skills quickly, he still had to rely on the near-infinite, rapidly refreshing monster seas in the deep sea in the future.

When they advanced to the fifth BOSS — a "Frostwing Storm Dragon" lurking in the eye of the ice storm, capable of controlling extreme weather — the battle became even more intense.

This dragon BOSS had extremely high mobility, could fly, and was adept at long-range ice storm breaths and summoning blizzards, posing a greater threat to Mo Yingmei.

But under the suppression of Lin Muyang's multiple Auras such as "No-Fly" and "Sluggishness", its advantage was reduced to a minimum.

Finally, when Mo Mingxue found an opportunity, tanked a dragon breath, and used her shield and super-high damage reduction to force a close-quarters engagement, slashing it down from the air with a burst combo, and then Mo Yingmei followed up with a fatal arrow, this majestic Storm Dragon also fell with a mournful cry.

Clatter...

Another big pile of dazzling loot exploded out, most of which were materials, gold coins, and a few legendary-grade equipment. But Lin Muyang's gaze was instantly attracted by one of the items.

This was actually a mythic grade equipment for a Summoner!
