Chapter 100

Кhаn, Вуutek, and Shаrin hеаdеd tо District 12 to takе dоwn Lexаr and his gang.

Аs thеу trаvеlеd to District 12, Кhan askеd Shаrin what hаd сhаngеd sinсe shе beсame а 3rd Сirсlе Magе.

“You’rе saying that nоw thаt you have thrее Circles, you fееl like you can usе Мagic with just а short Inсаntаtiоn?”

“Yes, and also… I think mу Casting Sрееd is much fastеr. I fаintеd right after сreating thе Circle yеstеrday, sо I hаven’t bеen ablе to use it yеt… but I havе а feeling.”

“Then, do уou fееl likе yоu might be ablе tо usе Magiс that уоu соuldn’t usе befоrе?”

“Um… just а momеnt.”

Shаrin had been studying countless Magic spells while riding in the Carriage and when she was alone.

Byutek knew very well that she always had a Magic Tome in her hands.

Whoosh…!!!

As Sharin drew up Mana, a blue light bloomed around her body.

Whoooooosh…!!!

An enormous amount of Mana at a glance.

It felt like Sharin had just casually drawn it up, but the amount of Mana was almost the same as Khan’s total Mana Capacity.

‘This is really ridiculous…’

Sharin, who had drawn up Mana, chanted a short Incantation for about three seconds and used Stealth Magic.

Swish.

Then, the bodies of Khan, Byutek, and Sharin all turned transparent.

“This is completely different from the Low-Rank Stealth I used before.”

“Yes, that’s right! I kept studying the Magic Tome… but I kept failing with Intermediate Stealth Magic. Now it works?! Hehe.”

“Good job, Sharin. With this level of Stealth Magic, we shouldn’t get caught by those guys. Let’s speed up a bit now.”

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

Byutek and Sharin increased their speed at the same time.

Sharin didn’t just increase her speed; she soon used Flight Magic as well.

Whoosh…!!!

Thump…. Thump…. Thump….

As she used Flight Magic, Byutek and Sharin’s bodies naturally floated into the air.

“Huh? Master, why are you just standing there?”

“Hyungnim, please come up quickly too!”

Byutek and Sharin, who had already risen quite far from the ground, looked at Khan and shouted.

‘Just use it together with a little tact…’

He had no choice but to make up another excuse.

In fact, there were plenty of things he could say in this situation.

“Sharin, now that you’ve just become a 3rd Circle Mage, use Flight Magic on me to get used to it.”

“Ah, yes! Understood!”

Whoosh…!!!

As Sharin chanted again, Flight Magic was cast on Khan’s body as well.

Perhaps because she had become a 3rd Circle Mage, the quality of the Flight Magic seemed to have improved.

‘It feels like I can move my body more freely than before.’

Moreover, the Flight Speed also seemed to be faster.

When the Circle increased like this, the overall performance and power of the Magic also increased.

“The quality of your Flight Magic has improved compared to before.”

“Hehe. Thank you.”

“Sharin, you should know you’re blessed! Where else would you find a Master who gives such meaningful teachings to his Disciple every day like Hyungnim!”

“That’s obvious! You know how grateful I always am to Master!”

“…….”

Khan felt a little guilty for no reason, but it disappeared in an instant thanks to the ‘Sage’s Heart’.

“Stop with the useless talk and let’s go now. Don’t let your guard down. You could die if you’re not careful.”

“Ah… yes!”

“Understood!”

In fact, the statement that they could die was a lie.

He had already roughly planned out how to defeat those guys anyway.

‘There are about 30 Mages in Lexar’s Gang, so that should be enough.’

If he cleared this Quest, he would get tremendous rewards.

If that happened, he would definitely be able to win the Underground Arena Tournament, which only had six days left.

‘Even if a tremendously strong person appears in the Underground Arena Tournament, I can easily win if I complete this Quest.’

He was confident that he could win even if a strong person like a Mage from the Kingdom of Sinsiniel or a top-tier Mage from the Magic Tower appeared.

Khan paused for a moment to think about other things and then increased his Flight Speed.

Byutek and Sharin followed behind him, and before they knew it, the three of them had arrived in District 11, right next to District 12.

‘District 11 is a mess too.’

The scenery of District 11, as seen from the sky, was littered with trash everywhere in the city.

Most of the people were wandering around with bottles of alcohol from broad daylight.

Just looking at them made him feel like he could smell the alcohol.

Byutek and Sharin were also looking down at District 11, and their expressions weren’t very good.

“Byutek, Sharin. Let’s pass through here quickly and go to District 12.”

Byutek and Sharin nodded at Khan’s words.

Just as Khan was about to move again.

Whoosh…!!!!

Swoosh!! Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

An enormous amount of Mana began to be felt from far away.

“Master! Mana is…! Flying from over there!”

“I know. It seems like they’re coming using Flight Magic. Sharin, can you use High-Rank Stealth too?”

“J-Just a moment, it might take a little time, but I think it might be possible if I chant a long Incantation!”

“Do it as quickly as possible.”

“Yes!”

The Mana flying in from afar was probably from the Mages of District 12.

That meant they were the Mages of Lexar’s Gang.

‘If this happens, my plan will be ruined…!’

Khan was thinking of going to District 12 as quickly as possible and attacking first without investigating Lexar and his Gang any further.

That way, his chances of winning would increase even a little bit more.

‘I was going to catch them off guard and hit them hard… but as it is, I have to hide my presence here and Ambush them.’

However, the situation wasn’t necessarily bad.

If Sharin cast High-Rank Stealth Magic, even those guys wouldn’t be able to notice their presence.

Whoosh…!!!!!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee…!!!!

Sharin muttered and quickly chanted the Incantation for High-Rank Stealth.

Then, the three Circles in her heart rotated at an incredible speed.

In fact, High-Rank Stealth Magic was a Magic that a 3rd Circle Mage could never use, but Sharin would be able to do it.

‘If you use a high-grade Magic that doesn’t match your Circle, you’ll consume several times more Mana… but Sharin has plenty of Mana, so it doesn’t matter at all.’

However, there might be a slight strain on Sharin’s heart and Circle.

“Sharin, you have to do it. If you cast High-Rank Stealth Magic right now, we can take down those guys all at once.”

Sharin nodded and continued to chant, and finally, the preparation for High-Rank Stealth Magic was completed.

She immediately used the completed Magic.

Whoosh……!!!!!!

Swish….

The figures of the three people, who had been under Intermediate Stealth Magic until just now, were now completely invisible.

The fact that they were completely invisible meant that not only their presence but even Mana Detection was impossible.

Of course, it didn’t matter at all to Khan.

Even though Byutek and Sharin’s figures had completely disappeared, their names and Levels were clearly visible above their heads.

“Very well done, Sharin. From now on, don’t even breathe and stay still. I’ll take care of the rest.”

As soon as Sharin succeeded in using High-Rank Stealth Magic, Khan immediately began to prepare.

Whoosh…!!!!

Blue Mana bloomed from Khan’s body.

A really small amount compared to the Mana that had bloomed from Sharin’s body just now.

However, Khan had also grown much stronger than before.

His Mana Capacity was significantly less than Sharin’s, but he had the Level 10 Skill, ‘Sage’s Heart’.

‘My Mana Efficiency has definitely increased.’

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee…!!

The three Mana Rings in his heart rotated rapidly, completing the preparation for using the Skill.

The speed at which the Mages of Lexar’s Gang were flying was getting faster and faster, and they were already about a hundred meters away.

At that moment, Khan used a Skill.

A Skill that he was using for the first time since he obtained it, and a Skill with devastating power and an unbelievably long Cooldown.

[You have used the Skill ‘Dragon’s Breath’.]

At that moment, Mana suddenly exploded around Khan.

Whooooooooooooosh…!!!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble…!!!!

Sharin and Byutek couldn’t help but be shocked as they watched the scene right next to them.

Byutek knew that Khan was strong, but the Mana emanating from Khan now was enough to give him goosebumps all over his body.

Byutek, who had almost no Mana Sensitivity, was like this, so what about Sharin?

‘Wow… this is Master’s Mana…….’

Sharin was carefully observing Khan’s figure at this moment without doing anything else.

* * *

Lexar was heading to District 6 as quickly as possible with the Mages of his Gang.

Whoosh!!!

Whoooooooooosh!!!!

Thirty Mages were lined up behind Lexar, who was flying in the lead.

And the two Mages right behind Lexar.

These were the people Lexar trusted the most in the Gang.

“Jarvian, Kalion. Can the two of you capture that guy named Khan alive without killing him?”

“Of course. He’s a unique guy who uses Magic with Chantless Casting, but honestly, I don’t think his Magic Level is that high.”

“We will definitely capture him alive.”

“Good, that’s good.”

If Jarvian and Kalion had belonged to the Magic Tower, they would have been considered top-tier Mages within the Magic Tower.

There wouldn’t be anyone stronger than these two.

In fact, that guy Khan didn’t seem that strong either, but he was leading the entire Gang because of his unique Chantless Casting ability.

Whoooooooooosh!!!

It was about three minutes after they had departed.

Just as they were about to pass through District 11, he felt a brief presence from far away.

‘What was that? Did I feel it wrong?’

Lexar glanced back, but it seemed like none of the other guys had noticed anything.

‘Since no one noticed anything, it seems like it was just my imagination.’

He didn’t slow down his speed even while thinking this.

Still, just in case, he used Detection Magic in the area where he had felt the presence just now.

Whoosh……!!!

“Damn…! It’s a trap in front! Draw up Mana immediately!”

Lexar, who had used Detection Magic, shouted with his eyes wide open, but it was already too late to avoid it.

Whoooooooooosh……!!!!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble…!!!

‘What the hell is that…!!!’

The sight that Lexar saw with Detection Magic was truly bizarre.

An enormous amount of Mana was gathering in the mouth of a giant Dragon with its wings spread.
