Lucas explained his so-called 'brilliant' idea that he was very excited about.
The frost bow was something that could make any arrow, whatever the material coated with ice. He asked John what would happen if the arrow was made of literal wind.
"Oh my god... that would become icicles if I am thinking right..." John was impressed with Lucas's creative mind.
"It may not happen as we are thinking but even if that's the case, the bow will still be a great weapon and those wind arrows will be used in another bow that we can make with wood and plant fiber."
"... I guess there is nothing to lose then, I am good with ranged weapons anyway." John said and picked the skill 'Wind Arrow' from the left section which made that section shimmer white. He also took another small rough paper that had the name 'Frostbite Bow' written on it.
"And Aunt Ella, I think you should get that Mana staff. It will suit your abilities."
Ella went to think for a minute and after looking at every weapon for a while. She picked the mana staff.
"It's your turn," John said after patting his shoulder. He went and satin the ground and asked the same from Ella.
"What's wrong? Still feeling dizzy?"
"That and he is going to take a while so I might as well take some rest." John said and took a deep breath. Ella sat with him and they both looked at Lucas who was in his thoughts, not even caring about what they were doing at this point.
'Two of them are already gone. That leaves five... blazing breath, I will keep it on probation... Earth wall... It's a good skill.' Lucas thought and he was not done as he continued, 'Smith... it seems good but I don't think this will help in the short term when all of us need to survive...
Tamer? Nah, it will take time and I have to level the skill to five too...'
He kept looking at every single skill and the description until his eyes fell on the single one that had some uncertainty around it but Lucas had a hidden feeling about it.
"Perceptive eyes..." He said aloud without even wanting to.
----
Perceptive Eyes
Uncommon
The skill makes the user have eyes that have high perception which will help in seeing through things that are not meant for the naked eyes to see.
----
'See through things that I a not supposed to... Why do I think that to be great?' Lucas couldn't understand why he thought that the skill seemed to be what was the best among all of them.
The Earth wall was great but it was just defense and Lucas didn't like being the defense. It was something of a primal instinct to take a weapon in hand and go fight head-on that made Lucas excited and helped him feel alive.
The fire breath was good but Lucas could tell that it would take a great deal of mana for a few seconds that he didn't have to spare.
[Weapon detected
Summon it?
-Yes -No]
Lucas clicked on the yes the instant it came in front of him. Soon the paper in his hand started shooming with brightness. Lucas tried to look but it was like staring at the sun, the only thing he could see was the brightness.
Soon, he felt like the shape changed and he was no longer holding a paper in his hand.
When the light dimmed until there was nothing left, Lucas could feel and see a 60 cm-long sword in his hand. He was already holding the hilt that was black in color with some light yellow lightning design.
His eyes went above when he saw the sword in his hand. There was no blade as a scabbard was covering it. Lucas moved his hand and took the scabbard off revealing a yellowish sharp blade of a good size.
When Lucas looked at the blade after keeping it straight near his face. He could see his own reflection which made him wonder how cleanly made it was with no cracks or chips.
"Wow" John said while he observed the sword with fascination. It looked right out of a fantasy.
Lucas placed the sword back in its scabbard as he knew in order to make the blade get electric, he had to put some of his mana in it and the only way he knew is because when he pressed yes and got the sword.
The information was already in his brain.
He didn't have any mana left after using it halfway with perceptive eyes.
Suddenly, Lucas started feeling very good. It was as if he was having a massage. He looked back and saw that Ella was smiling while her hand had a ball of white light. Under his gaze, she threw the ball that went straight to his shoulder making him feel good again while also some itching inside the wound.
"That was a good aim, Aunt Ella. I already feel great."
"You were pretty close, young man. And these two balls of healing took 2 mana points each." Ella said with a bright smile on her face.
"You both should get your weapons out of that paper. We will have to leave now."
Lucas's eyes fell on John who was looking at his hand, suddenly, the air started circling around his palm like a tornado. And after five seconds, it took the shape of an arrow.
"Don't use the bow right now, Uncle John. Let's do it after we reach the shelter."
"Alright, I will summon the weapon when we reach back."
After a minute, the circle below them that was emitting white light became dim and was off the next second. The chest that was in the center of it became particles again and dissipated into thin air as they came in the first place.
The trio started walking toward the corridor they came from and found that the traps were still there, and were already completed.
After 30 minutes of walking straight while also looking for some traps here and there, they were outside the dungeon.
