As Cruzer stood in the now-silent cavern, his breathing slowly returned to normal. The battle with the Frostbone Wyvern had taken its toll, but it had also pushed him to new heights. The familiar hum of his system echoed in his mind, signaling that the fight had unlocked something within him.
The system interface appeared before his eyes, displaying the rewards from his hard-fought victory:
New Skill Unlocked: Glacial Rend
Description: A powerful ice-based attack that channels the cold energy of the catacombs. When activated, Cruzer's greatsword is encased in a layer of frost, allowing him to unleash a devastating slash that sends icy shockwaves through the ground, freezing enemies in place.
Skill Upgrade: Thunder Strike
Description: Thunder Strike has evolved. Now, in addition to summoning a bolt of lightning, the attack generates a brief electric field around the target area, stunning any nearby enemies.
