Chapter 96: Moving On...

.

Now that everything is said and done, we finally decided to get moving.

Everyone was rather excited, so they got inside of the flying fortress quite fast, Benladann, Yuki, and younger wolves or the pregnant mother wolves would all stay inside, while I fly at the side of the fortress and the other adult and strong wolves will be led by Frost in the ground.

Wolves can naturally track me as I possess the Title of Pack Leader, so they won't get lost, and as they are super magic wolves of another world, they can probably keep walking for days, although we'll take breaks and probably bring them in whenever they want to.

But it seems that the adult and strong wolves wanted to go by on foot to develop and maintain their physical fitness, if they slack off all day inside the fortress, they will slowly lose their agility, it seems.

Also, it is rather obvious that a floating Ice Fortress will bring some attention, so I decided to coat it with Camouflage.

The Camouflage Skill can be used in conjunction with magic, so I did a very neat trick where I created Ice Runes using Camouflage, and now the Ice Fortress looks near-transparent blue, so it mixes well with whatever color the background has.

A clear day will make it take the color of the blue sky, and if there is a snowy or cloudy day, it can easily be hidden beneath the clouds.

I flapped my large dragon wings and jumped straight into the sky, after reaching a good enough altitude, I used wind magic to support my gliding and mostly glided through the whole journey.

Benladann was doing physical exercise inside the Ice Fortress with the wolves and Yuki, so they were having their own fun.

We are going at a relatively slow pace, but it is good enough, in two or three days we might reach the large mountain range in front of us, which Benladann said that she crossed while being half-dead before the mold took over her.

It seems that unless I learned how to fly I would have stayed here walking towards there for days if not months and months… Good thing I can fly.

It seems that the place I was born is the mountains right behind me, mountain ranges are surrounding this entire pine tree forest, which, according to Benladann was known as a "Dangerous Wild Area" where strong monsters that not even the Ice Giants could properly handle, such as the Ice Bears, Rat-Gorilla, and the Gators.

Whenever we reach the mountain range we'll get Frost and the rest of the wolves inside the fortress and quickly cross the mountains by flying above them, obviously.

And as I admired the beauty of the skies, I checked my status, which had a few changes.

…

Oh damn, I am looking pretty fine right there!

Although my stats had hit a progression wall, so I can't increase them as fast as before… Albeit if I keep training and cultivating, I still get a few dozen stats, but I would need a few years to make a difference.

Oh, I guess this is why the cultivators of novels always spend so long doing "closed doors cultivation" or whatever?

Anyways, there are still many commendable things here, such as the Mana being at 10k! Such a good number and its amazing regeneration are what helps me use wind magic to fly indefinitely.

5k Strength is also insanely good, I could easily crush anything I wanted now!

Unparalleled! I guess it is finally time to become the typical arrogant Xianxia main character.

…Joking.

Aside from stats, my Skills reached Level 10 and awakened.

Now my mind can think even faster and react even faster! Also, my precision in the usage of mana has improved greatly as I keep spamming magic nonstop, and also my physical damage resistance has reached a new height.

Lastly, there are two new Skills, Split Phantom and Icesmith.

I acquired Split Phantom when I split my soul yesterday to insert it into the Ice Fortress, I can now easily do this with this Skill… but it obviously will weaken me a lot, so I will only split my phantom when my soul is recovered, and probably when it is very strong.

Lastly, there's Icesmith! Indeed, instead of being a Blacksmith, I am an Icesmith.

This skill came to be when I was making the Ice Fortress and crafted like a hundred Ice Bricks, Ice Pillars, and more. It helps in the creation of Ice Items of all types of shapes and forms.

When I combine its effects with Crafting, it becomes truly amazing.
