Watching Rayder gradually walk away, Doug finally couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. He happily opened the two bags of gold coins and carefully counted them.
This was truly an unexpected fortune!
To think, he might not even earn this much money in a year of hard work as a blacksmith.
Meanwhile, Rayder returned to the courtyard with the arrows and eagerly began to experiment.
His first thought was to use his Storm Control ability, attempting to envelop the arrows with airflow before firing them.
He focused his mind, mobilized the power within his body, and gathered a powerful current of air around an arrow.
With a thought, the threaded arrow shot out like lightning, spinning at an astonishing speed,
It pierced straight through one wall of the courtyard like a drill, then slammed into the second wall, with half the arrow shaft deeply embedded within it.
Rayder carefully walked around the first wall, then quickly stepped forward, reached out to grab the arrow in the wall, and pulled it out with force.
This initial attempt was finally successful!
He carefully observed the arrow in his hand, realizing that airflow could indeed be shaped in his hands, thereby generating a powerful burst of thrust.
This discovery excited him, as it meant he could transform his ability to create large-scale storms into a more targeted attack method—the Wind Arrow.
To achieve this goal, Rayder began continuous practice.
He recalled a move from a certain anime character, drawing inspiration from its techniques, and diligently tried to condense the Wind Arrow into a straight and sharp projectile.
Time passed minute by minute, the sun gradually rose, and sunlight fell on Rayder's face, illuminating his focused expression.
After a long period of effort, he was finally able to barely keep the arrow spinning at high speed in his hand without it flying off.
However, this was just the beginning. Rayder knew that truly mastering this technique would require more practice and patience.
Because if he was even slightly distracted and couldn't fully concentrate on controlling it, the arrow would instantly lose control and fly off.
Facing such a situation, Rayder couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
He realized that he seemed to have no talent in this area; his control was simply too poor.
To use this technique in actual combat and achieve the same level of proficiency as in anime would probably require a long time and a lot of effort.
Rayder took a deep breath and decided to try the Railgun's move again.
He concentrated, held an iron bead in his hand, then flicked it forcefully, and the iron bead shot out like lightning.
However, disappointingly, this iron bead did not display the astonishing power of the Railgun's coin.
It merely made a slight "thump" when it hit a tree, then fell weakly to the ground, not even penetrating the bark.
Rayder's eyes widened, watching the scene in disbelief.
He knew the Railgun could launch an attack exceeding three times the speed of sound with a coin, yet he couldn't even penetrate a tree with an iron bead; the difference was simply enormous.
He looked down at the flickering electric arc in his hand, wondering: Is the power not enough?
The Railgun seemed capable of generating high-voltage currents up to a billion volts, thereby producing powerful electromagnetic force to launch coins at incredible speeds.
Rayder pondered deeply, trying to find the problem. He recalled the Railgun's movements and techniques, realizing that he didn't seem to have done anything wrong.
So, where exactly was the problem?
Suddenly, he realized a crucial factor—his own ability.
The reason the Railgun was so powerful was not just because she had mastered the correct method, but more importantly, she possessed powerful superpowers herself.
Rayder couldn't help but feel a little discouraged; he had originally thought that as long as he learned the Railgun's moves, he could unleash similar power.
But now it seemed his own ability was too weak to achieve such an effect at all.
However, Rayder did not give up easily. He decided to try another attack method—Ice Magic to create bows and arrows.
He concentrated, using his Ice Magic to condense the surrounding water into an ice arrow.
However, when he tried to shoot this ice arrow, he found it was not an easy task.
After leaving his hand, the ice arrow did not fly swiftly as he expected, but wobbled in the air, eventually falling to the ground not far away.
Rayder shook his head helplessly. He felt he had completely followed the Cold God's method to create and fire the ice arrow, but the result was so bad.
The power of the ice arrow was also very limited, far inferior to the Railgun's electromagnetic cannon.
After several attempts, Rayder finally came to a conclusion:
Among these three long-range attack methods, only the Wind Arrow was somewhat reliable, while the ice arrow and electromagnetic cannon were complete "failures."
The reason for this disparity was not incorrect methods, but his own weak fundamental abilities, which prevented him from unleashing the proper power of these moves.
Just as Rayder was still racking his brain over how to more effectively use his abilities, the Army of Ghouls outside The Great Wall had quietly completed their regrouping.
A massive white Ice Dragon, like a phantom, circled in the air. Its enormous body was astounding, as if an ancient beast had awakened from the extreme cold.
People on The Great Wall, seeing this scene from afar, felt an ominous premonition.
They knew that today would surely be a thrilling and fierce battle.
At this moment, Rayder, inside Castle Black, also noticed the Ice Dragon soaring in the sky.
He stopped what he was doing, gazed into the distance, thoughtfully stroking his chin, and secretly wondered if he should go investigate.
After all, he had personally destroyed a clone of the Cold God, which made him unsure of the Cold God's reaction.
"Will she go crazy because of this?" Rayder couldn't help but feel doubtful.
However, on second thought, as a female, perhaps the Cold God's heart would be as broad as legend said.
But whether her mind was narrow, that remained unknown.
Nevertheless, after only a few seconds of thought, Rayder decided to go to The Great Wall.
After all, if a fight really broke out, he would be earning energy points every single minute!
How could he miss such an enticing opportunity?
So, Rayder unhesitatingly rushed towards The Great Wall with his three dragons, like a gust of wind.
When he arrived on top of the wall, he found Viserys and Erlad, among others, already on high alert, their faces all extremely solemn, clearly filled with worry about the impending battle.
