Chapter 179

Аs I соntinuеd to use thе Аbsоlutе Sight skill, I lеarned a fеw nеw things.

“Huhu, who аre yоu bеtting оn fоr this mаtсh and how muсh?”

“Of cоursе, bet оn Drаmоs! If уоu don’t bеt on Drаmos now, уоu’ll bе сalled а foоl! If you don’t wаnt tо lose moneу, bеt on Dramos too!”

“Nо, whаt Dramos! You should bet оn Shаrin, the genius mаge! If уоu bеt оn Dramos, you сould losе уоur entire fоrtunе?!”

“Тsk, what nonsеnse arе you talking abоut with Drаmos. Sharin is dеfinitеly gоing to win…!”

Thе audiencе seеmеd to be discussing who to bеt on fоr thе nеxt mаtch during the brеаk.

‘Whо would havе thought I соuld hеаr еverу singlе vоicе tоo.’

The skill Khan acquired was ‘Absolute Sight,’ and it seemed his hearing had improved as well.

‘When I was playing <Geo Arc>, I couldn’t know things like this… but now that I’m inside the game, I’m learning things I didn’t know before.’

Moreover, there was one more function of the ‘Absolute Sight’ skill that Khan hadn’t known about.

‘The feeling I got when the dagger was flying toward me was like something warning me that something dangerous was coming.’

In fact, Khan hadn’t seen the dagger. The dagger was flying from behind his head.

To be precise, at the moment the dagger was flying toward him, it felt like an alarm went off in his head, warning him to dodge.

‘Anyway, it’s a much better skill than I thought.’

With that thought, Khan used his second Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket.

‘This time, I’m not even hoping for a 4-star or 5-star skill. I’d be happy even with a 3-star skill.’

Originally, when using a Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket at Level 90, you typically get a 3-star skill on average.

If you were unlucky, you could get a 2-star or 1-star skill, but it didn’t matter much.

‘After all, I’ve already obtained the skill I needed. Wanting more would just be greed.’

If I were to be a bit more greedy, it would be nice to have a movement skill for quick mobility, but things in the world don’t go as easily as you want.

[Used Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket.]

[Please select one of the three skills.]

1. Chrono Reset – 5★

2. Ice Ball – 1★

3. Lightning Ball – 2★

As soon as Khan saw the three skills that appeared before his eyes, he inwardly gasped in amazement again.

‘Is this for real? Who would have thought Chrono Reset would come out?’

Ice Ball or Lightning Ball were almost useless skills for Khan at this point.

On the other hand, Chrono Reset was one of the monstrous skills.

It was one of the most overpowered skills in <Geo Arc>.

‘With this… I should be able to win without much trouble?’

He felt that even if he faced Dramos in the finals, he could win.

If that happened, he could continue clearing the Main Quest and win this Underground Arena Tournament.

‘If I obtain the Ancient Magic Book… I might get a skill far better than the ones I currently have.’

Of course, since the skill in the Ancient Magic Book was random, there were cases where you got a trash skill, but usually, you got a good one.

‘All the skills in the Ancient Magic Book are Hidden Skills… so that alone is valuable enough.’

Of course, it was impossible to know until he actually faced Dramos, but suddenly obtaining the Chrono Reset skill like this made his confidence surge.

Khan selected the skill without much hesitation.

[Acquired skill ‘Chrono Reset.’]

After acquiring Chrono Reset, Khan first checked the skill’s description.

[Skill: Chrono Reset]

• Skill Rank: 5-star

• Skill Description: Uses Mana to reset the cooldown of a desired skill.

• Cooldown: 24 hours

• Mana Consumption: 10,000~1,000,000

As soon as Khan checked the Chrono Reset skill, he couldn’t help but be slightly surprised by the enormous Mana consumption.

‘I knew the Mana consumption was high… but I didn’t expect it to be this much.’

The reason Chrono Reset was overpowered was that as long as you had Mana, you could reset the cooldown of any skill infinitely.

‘The problem is that the Mana consumption varies depending on the skill’s power, performance, and rank. You might need to use up to a million Mana.’

For now, the minimum Mana consumption was ten thousand, so Khan could barely use it once at his current level.

‘But since I have a skill whose cooldown I need to reset right now… it really came at a perfect time.’

With that thought, Khan opened his Status Window.

◈ LV.90

◈ Khan (Lee Huseong)

◈ Mana: 11540/19150

◈ Talent: Magic

◈ Experience Points: 1.2%

◈ Skills: (10★)Sage’s Heart, (8★)Growth Acceleration, (1★)Arrow, (1★)Barrier, (2★)Fire Boom, (2★)Fireball, (2★)Mirror Defense, (2★)Mana Enhancement, (1★)Wind Cutter, (3★)Dragon’s Breath, (4★)Mana Circulation, (4★)Power Amplification, (4★)Space-Time Leap, (5★)Dark Flame, (1★)Wind Drill, (4★)Flame Curtain, (5★)Absolute Sight, (5★)Chrono Reset

Chrono Reset was newly added to the skill list.

‘With this, it feels like I’ve used up almost all my luck for a lifetime.’

First, the Main Quest reward for the semifinals suddenly increased, and on top of that, receiving a Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket as an additional reward was almost a miracle.

‘But now I can breathe a little easier.’

Now, by watching Sharin and Dramos’s match and analyzing Dramos’s movements even a little, it will help in the finals.

‘If Sharin wins, I might be able to win the championship more easily than expected.’

If Sharin defeats Dramos and advances to the finals, she will probably forfeit.

Since I told her to do so, Sharin won’t want to fight me.

While Khan was using the Job-Exclusive Random Skill Selection Ticket, the break time passed entirely.

Shortly after, Rodion appeared and brought the microphone to his mouth.

“Ah! Ah! Everyone, thank you for waiting! I heard that something unfortunate happened during the break. Sir Khan, are you alright?”

As Khan nodded, Rodion smiled and shouted.

“Regarding this incident, Viscount Aldrik has said he will provide additional compensation separately after the tournament ends…! As the tournament host, I also apologize like this. I’m sorry!”

Khan nodded once more.

‘Compensation… I wonder what the Viscount will give.’

Honestly, he was upset that someone from the audience suddenly threw a dagger at him, but hearing that he would receive separate compensation made him feel a bit better.

In fact, getting good skills from the skill selection ticket also quickly improved his mood.

“Ah, an announcement for the audience! If you are dissatisfied with the betting results and threaten a participant like this again, the Viscount will impose a terrible punishment, so please be careful, everyone! Now, let’s proceed with the final semifinal match between Sir Dramos and Miss Sharin!”

Rodion proceeded with the next semifinal match.

As he called the names of Dramos and Sharin, Dramos stepped onto the arena first.

“I’ll be back, Master! I’ll win, so don’t worry and watch me!”

“Alright. Do your best, Sharin.”

“Yes!”

“Hey, hey, Sharin! Why aren’t you even looking at this brother?!”

“Well, I’ll do well and come back. Watch me, Oppa. I’ll even defeat your Master. Hehe.”

“Sharin, I don’t even expect you to win, just don’t get hurt.”

“Okay~”

After saying goodbye, Sharin headed straight to the arena.

* * *

Bellua, who had just returned after healing Orphes, who was severely beaten by Khan in the first semifinal match.

As she used Cure Magic on Orphes, she reviewed the match between the two.

‘That person named Khan… what kind of person is he to be this strong? Moreover, toying with an opponent weaker than himself…’

In this match, Khan used powerful magic without reciting a single incantation.

Especially the black flames Khan used seemed to be quite high-level magic, but even Bellua couldn’t tell exactly what magic he used.

As she continued to think about Khan, she sighed and called out to Binsen beside her.

“Huu, Sir Binsen, who do you think will advance to the finals?”

“Well, perhaps that child Sharin? No. Her talent seems outstanding, but… still, it’s a battle between a mage and a swordsman, so Dramos will probably win.”

“Hmm… Really? I somehow think Sharin will win. Since Sir Binsen has a jinx, Sharin will probably win.”

“Ahem… Bellua, don’t tease me too much.”

“Yes.”

Since everything Binsen had said so far turned out the opposite, Bellua playfully teased him.

“By the way, when will the Magic Tower Information System finish its maintenance…? I want to search for that person named Khan quickly.”

As she muttered her complaints, Binsen exclaimed in a surprised voice.

“Oh, what! Bellua! It seems the maintenance is over! The Magic Tower Information System is open!”

“Really?!”

As soon as Bellua heard Binsen’s words, she opened the Magic Tower Information System.

Then, as if the maintenance had truly ended, the Magic Tower Information System unfolded before her eyes.

Bellua searched for Khan’s name in the Magic Tower Information System.

‘Khan… Khan… I need to search quickly.’

After searching for Khan’s name, the two immediately checked the information that appeared in the system.

“This can’t be…”

“I-It’s impossible!”

Binsen and Bellua were utterly astonished.
