Chapter 122
Chapter 122
Аs Кhаn hаd hopеd, а 5th-rаnk skill арpearеd, but thе skill names wеre all disрlауеd аs quеstion marks, mаking it impossiblе tо know ехасtlу what skills thеy wеre.
‘Wait а minutе. Тhе probаbility оf a 5th-rank skill aррearing should be lеss thаn 0.01%, yet it came оut this еasily?’
The Job-Ехclusive Rаndom Skill Sеlесtiоn Ticket detеrmined the grаdе оf skills you соuld сhoosе based оn the level at whiсh уou reсеived it аs a rewаrd.
Up to levеl 50, onlу uр to 4th-rank skills appеarеd, аnd frоm levеl 60 to 100, 5th-rank skills соuld аppеar.
Веtwееn lеvels 60 аnd 100, thеrе werе а total of five Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Tickets you could obtain.
Among the countless Users of <Geo Arc>, as far as Khan knew, there was probably not a single User who had obtained a 5th-rank skill from a Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket acquired between levels 60 and 100.
‘That’s why Users even protested on the Community, demanding the game company disclose the exact probability, and now this comes out for me…’
It was a good thing that a 5th-rank skill appeared from the Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket obtained as a level 60 achievement reward.
However, there was another problem.
‘This skill displayed with question marks… Is it another random skill?’
Khan checked the skill list once more.
[Please select one of the three skills.]
-
Flash – 2★
-
Storm Rush – 3★
-
?????? – 5★
First, the 2nd-rank skill ‘Flash’ wasn’t particularly good, so it wasn’t even worth considering.
However, the story was a bit different for ‘Storm Rush’.
‘Storm Rush can become an overpowered skill if used well.’
Moreover, since Khan had the ‘Sage’s Heart’, a Hidden Skill of a whopping 10th rank, he would be able to use ‘Storm Rush’ continuously without Cooldown.
‘Still, it would be a bit difficult to use Storm Rush freely right away.’
‘Storm Rush’ was an Offensive Magic that accelerated one’s body to charge at the opponent.
So, in a way, it was a double-edged sword.
Without a Defense Type Magic to protect the body, it would be hard to use it freely.
‘The problem is this 5th-rank skill…’
The question mark skill labeled as 5th rank was literally a random skill.
Choosing it would grant a random skill among the 5th-rank skills.
‘I only saw this on the <Geo Arc> Community, I never thought I’d experience it myself.’
The probability of a random skill appearing in a random skill selection ticket like this was incredibly slim.
Even when Khan was playing the game, it only appeared for an extremely small number of Users.
Khan fell into deep thought.
Should he choose ‘Storm Rush’, which is among the top-tier 3rd-rank skills, or choose the random 5th-rank skill?
‘There are so many trash skills even among 5th-rank skills. Hmm, I don’t know.’
Considering the probability, it seemed likely that a bad skill would come out if he chose the 5th-rank random skill.
‘A 5th-rank skill appeared from the random skill selection ticket with a probability lower than 0.01%, and for a good skill to come out from that too… doesn’t make sense.’
Khan pondered a bit more and decided which skill to choose.
In times like these, one must make a choice they won’t regret later.
Khan felt that if he didn’t choose the 5th-rank skill now, he would regret it for a long time.
[You have selected the 5th-rank random skill.]
As Khan selected the 5th-rank random skill, a message appeared before his eyes.
A moment later, the identity of the 5th-rank random skill was revealed.
[You have acquired the 5th-rank skill ‘Dark Flame’.]
As soon as Khan confirmed the skill’s name, he exclaimed inwardly in great surprise.
‘Dark Flame came out…?!’
The 5th-rank skill ‘Dark Flame’.
This skill was an essential, must-have skill when raising a Fire Type Mage.
A slightly disappointing point was that ‘Dark Flame’ was a Passive Skill, but it didn’t matter to Khan at all.
‘To think the most overpowered skill among the 5th-rank skills a Fire Type Mage can obtain would come out…’
The 5th-rank skill ‘Dark Flame’, also called the flower of Fire Type Mages.
A moment later, the skill’s information appeared before Khan’s eyes.
[Skill: Dark Flame]
-
Skill Rank: 5th Rank
-
Skill Description: Transforms all Fire Type skills used by the User into Dark Flame. The power of Dark Flame increases up to 10 times depending on the User’s Mana and the number of Circles.
-
Cooldown: X
-
Mana Consumption: 100~1000
‘Dark Flame’ was a Passive Skill, but its Mana Consumption was quite high.
To be precise, it meant that additional Mana was consumed when using skills like ‘Fireball’ or ‘Fire Boom’ that Khan possessed.
‘My Mana Consumption will increase from now on… but the power will increase dozens of times more.’
If he combined and used his skills well, the skill’s power could increase not just dozens of times, but even hundreds of times.
‘With this, I should be able to easily win the Underground Arena Tournament now.’
Of course, in the Underground Arena Tournament, it seemed Khan’s Mana would be severely lacking, but somehow, if he managed well, he thought he could win easily.
Meanwhile, Ailee was watching Khan and Sharin intently.
‘As expected of Khan, even if I try to sense his Mana, I can’t feel anything. He must be a Mage of incredible skill.’
And Sharin, sitting slumped beside him, was showing a truly monstrous Mana Recovery Power.
‘Clearly, just a moment ago, her Mana was almost depleted, but it’s already recovered that much? What an unbelievable Talent…’
Ailee was also someone who often heard that she had excellent Talent for Magic.
So, Ailee also heard people call her a genius since she was young, but now she was seeing a real genius before her eyes.
‘A real genius must refer to a child like that. Wouldn’t a child like that reach the level of an Archmage in the future…’
Ailee also, when she was very young, admired the Archmages of the Magic Tower and vowed to become like them someday, but as she grew older, she faced reality.
She was indeed a talented Mage, but she could never hold the title of genius.
‘I’ve never seen a child like that even in the Magic Tower.’
She was curious about the identities of those two, but Ailee and her party were, in a way, in a position of monitoring them, so it was a bit awkward to ask questions.
Besides, the two might already view Ailee’s party unfavorably.
While Ailee was watching Sharin for a while, suddenly, Sharin sprang up.
“Master! I’m all better now! Phew, was this the symptom of Mana exhaustion? When you use too much Mana, all the strength leaves your body, right? But I think I’ve mostly recovered!”
“The Magic you just used is a 5th-rank Magic called ‘Heavenly Thunder’. It seems a bit too much for you to use right now, so don’t overexert yourself to use it for a while.”
“Yes, I understand! I pushed myself a bit because I wanted to show you a good performance, hehe.”
“Anyway, if you’ve fully recovered, let’s head back.”
“Yes!”
They had gathered all the Quest Materials for Eddy.
In fact, they had so many Materials that they might have leftovers; Khan was thinking of asking if it was possible to enhance Sharin’s or Byutek’s weapons.
As Khan and Sharin moved their steps toward the Gate leading outside, Ailee, who was standing in front of the Gate, spoke.
“You’ve worked hard. Your Disciple’s Magic… I saw it well. I’m envious that she has such incredible Talent. It was a good show.”
“……”
Khan simply nodded.
As Ailee stepped aside, he tried to enter the Gate with Sharin.
Then.
Oooooooom…!!!
Kukukukukukukukukuk…!!!
Kukukukukukukukukukuk…!!!!
Mana bloomed across the entire plain, and the ground began to shake violently.
“Wh-what is this?!”
“Isn’t this the signal for the Wolf King to appear, Ailee?!”
Drazeon shouted with a panicked expression, and Karel also looked at Ailee and asked.
“They said that just before the Wolf King appears, Mana blooms across the entire field! And because of that effect, the ground shakes too!”
“Then that means the Wolf King is really appearing?! Drazeon, you get ready too!”
“Okay!”
Karel and Drazeon immediately took out their weapons.
Ailee also gripped her Staff tightly with a tense expression.
‘Those people… they won’t change their attitude and Steal the Wolf King, will they?’
They could kill them here and take the Wolf King for themselves.
Since anything that happened inside the Gate could be hidden, there were scum who deliberately targeted weak adventurers.
While Ailee was having such thoughts, Khan spoke to her first.
It seemed like the first time this thin, blunt-looking man had initiated a conversation.
“Wolf King… It’s my first time seeing one in person too. As promised, we have no intention of Stealing the Wolf King, but would it be alright if we just watched for a bit before leaving?”
“W-watch?”
“Yes. I absolutely won’t lay a hand on any Loot obtained from defeating the Wolf King. Of course, I won’t make any attacks on the Wolf King either.”
“Well, that’s certainly possible…”
“Then we’ll watch for a bit before going.”
“Ah… Alright!”
Why was this man, who had barely spoken until now, being so proactive?
But it wasn’t the time to worry about that.
“Karel, Drazeon! We need to focus!”
“Okay!”
“I know!”
The three of them raised their Concentration higher than ever before.
Oooooooooom…!!!
A moment later, a giant Magic Circle appeared in the center of the plain.
