The Villain's Story

Chapter 16 Skills And Techniques

[Mana Control(*) ]

This technique allows the user to control Mana more efficiently and with greater control.

[Whiff of frost(***) ]

A Mana training technique geared towards the ice element. It increases control of the ice element and also increases the userʼs understanding of the ice element.]

Both were great techniques that were suited for me. Mana control was essential for me because I lacked any control of Mana. People from this world were taught how to control Mana from birth in case they awakened. I, unfortunately, wasnʼt of this world.

Mana Control just increases the rate at which you can efficiently manipulate Mana and control it to do whatever you want it to do. Richard probably gave it to me so I could have better control. Completely oblivious to the fact that I desperately needed it.

Whiff of frost was a Mana training technique. Mana training techniques were essentially techniques that increased the size of your Mana pool, increased the rate at which you can convert normal Mana into elemental mana, And also provide a buff to the spells cast of the same element as the technique. They also raised your understanding of the element. Although the rate at which this technique would do would be abysmal. I could use this for my entire life but still not go above the 20%understanding of the ice element.

Nevertheless, I still needed it until I completed the Ice dragon Laneshaʼs quest and got the seven-star training technique.

Now onto the skills.

[Mana Conglomeration(E) ]

This skill allows you to concentrate a specific type of Mana into a single point. Allowing you to release a powerful attack. Attack power depends upon the amount of Mana consumed and affinity to the desired element.

[Ice Beam(E)]

[Ice Bolt(E) ]

The user can discharge a bolt of ice energy from their hands. The bolt deals heavy damage and can freeze anything it touches. The power of the bolt depends upon the amount of Mana consumed and affinity to the ice element]

--------------

Looking at my skills bar, My eyes squinted. Seeing my first three skills, I thought.

ʼOh yeah I also had thoseʼ

Well, I was gonna test everything now.

Moving towards the metal door Excitedly. I opened it and was greeted by a huge white room.

This was probably the ability testing room.

Well, I obviously couldnʼt test my skills in the previous room that was filled with gym equipment.

So this empty room had to be the one.

Without further ado, raising my right hand and pointing it at the wall, I yelled out.

”Ice Beam!”

Immediately a ball of white light materialized in the open palm of my hand. This ball then suddenly sent out a relatively large beam that traveled at supersonic speeds and hit the wall of the room I was aiming at. Excited as hell. I moved my hand around and the beam followed the direction of my hand. As it lived I could see the part of the wall where it was covered in ice.

The skill honestly reminded me of a game where you could do anything you wanted with planets. One of the things you could do was shoot the planet with a continuous beam of ice until it froze over.

Thought in my mind for it stops. The white ball that was in the open palm of my hand vanished.

I couldnʼt stop grinning. How could I not when I just did something you would probably see in tv shows or games.

Excitedly, I called out another skill.

”Ice Bolt! ”

The ball of white light materialized again in my palm, only this time it was growing bigger until I had to stop it with a thought. Thinking of it shooting forward. The ball Immediately shot forward toward the direction of the partially frozen wall.

*Boom!*

With a loud bang, the ball collided with the wall leaving white mist covering the entire wall.

When the mist finally disappeared I was able to see the entire wall covered with thick layers of ice.

I cried with glee.

Then without wasting even another second, I yelled out again, thinking of a claw for a hand.

”Ice Modification!”

This time a white light covered my hand, when it finally faded, I could see my hand encases in ice that was in the form of a claw. Thinking of another idea

I yelled the skill name again.

”Ice modification! ”

This time, the light covered my entire body. When it faded my entire body was covered in armor that was similar to the armor worn by knights in the medieval era.

Seeing this, My eight-grade syndrome was starting to come back

ʼSooo Cool!!

I thought to myself.

Then thinking of the armor going away. It went away with a bright light and my body was now bare.

ʼOooh, four more to go. ʼ

”Mana Conglomeration!”

Raising my hand I clenched it into a fist

and called out the skill name.

The ball of white light materialized in front of my clenched fist. But instead of becoming bigger, It became smaller instead it kept doing so until it became the size of two nails.

I ran towards the already frozen wall punched with all my might.

*BOOM*

The moment I first reached the wall the ball of light exploded and threw me back.

Raising myself, I took a look at the wall.

This time, The entire room was frozen

Not even the wall behind him which had the door was left unfrozen.

Seeing the power of the skell I thought

ʼHoly shit thatʼs powerfulʼ
