"Who dares harm my village?!" the voice yelled.

An elderly imp walked forward with a staff in his hands.

/-----------------\\

Imp shaman

Rank: A

\\------------------/

A Shaman? So that means he is a caster?

Before we could react the Shaman summoned a fireball and launched it towards us at an alarming speed.

The Zakuul Knights jumped forward with their Tower Shields raised.

The Fireball smashed into their shields and luckily for us, the shields blocked it and did not even receive any damage.

When the Shaman noticed this it yelled in anger and started throwing more Fireballs.

The fireballs could not harm the Knight's shields.

Before the Shaman could cast more fireballs, I used one of my untested skills called Blood Bind.

[Recieved Blood Bind in chapter 23]

Once I casted the spell onto the Shaman the veins all over his body started to bulge. The Shaman started yelling and grunting but to no avail, his body would not move ore follow his will. Now that I had 5 seconds I rushed over to the Shaman before casting Permafrost.

Once I felt the mana drain from my body snow and ice started forming around me before it started moving at a fast pace.

Suddenly a harsh cold wind appeared and the snow and ice started following the cold wind. A blizzard appeared around me and once the 5 seconds were up I heard the Shaman start screaming in pain.

The blizzard went on for 10 minutes before stopping. Once I could see the Shaman I let out a gasp.

The shaman was riddled sharp ice all over his body and his skin was very pale, if the Ice did not kill him then the cold definitely did.

I was notified that I completed a quest and got the next quest after it.

Now I had 3 System Draws.

In the center of the village, a chest appeared. We eagerly walked over to the chest to examine the loot contained within, while the Zakuul Knights separated from us to search the village.

When we opened the chest we saw 4 items within the chest.

The first item looked to be a...pickaxe?

/-----------------------------\\

Name: Ancient Pickaxe

Type: Tool

Rarity: Uncommon

Description: Forged long ago with a rare metal, this Pickaxe is able to mine even the hardest of ore. \\------------------------------/

Oh? This seems quite valuable. Before we could examine the next item the Zakuul Knights approached us and reported "Sir, on the outskirts of the Village we found what appears to be a cave."

"Oh? Have you searched the cave?" I asked.

"Yes sir, within the cave, we found what appeared to be ore within the cave." A Zakuul Knight reported.

Ore? I asked the Zakuul Knights to lead me to the cave and it was a short walk to find it.

Once we entered the cave outside the village I noticed this ore does not have the appearance of any known ore on earth.

The ore was shiny and had weird fire-like veins flowing through it. When I examined the ore to my surprise it was Fire Iron ore!

The same material used to forge the long swords of fire and the longbows of fire. This was a great find. I equipped the Ancient Pickaxe and gathered a small amount of ore before leaving the cave and heading back to the chest in the center of the village.
