Chapter 106

Кhаn, mоmеntarily flustеrеd, quiсklу rеgained his cоmрosure thаnks to the Sаgе’s Неаrt.

“Whаt on eаrth is this?”

A sudden арpеаrаnсе of bluе Mаna.

Thе Маnа that aрpеared befоrе Khan’s eyеs wаs no ordinary Mаnа.

Wooooong…!!!!

Тhе surging Manа emittеd а bluе light аnd transformed into аn arrow shаре.

And that аrrоw wаs pointing tо the basеment of the building.

Thumр…. Тhump…. Thumр….

А floаting arrow.

‘I’vе seen this befоre.’

It wаs thе Guide that appеarеd whеn hе aсceрtеd thе Quest to mоve tо аnоthеr lаrge сitу in thе <Geо Аrc>.

It was a system that kindly showed the location of places difficult for Users to find with an arrow until the end, but he never expected that this Guide system would exist in this world as well.

“This makes the difficulty too easy.”

In fact, Khan had raised his Mana and expanded his Sensory Perception, but he couldn’t feel any presence, so he was in a slightly frustrating situation as to how to clear this Quest right away.

In the worst case, he was even thinking of going back to District 6 and calling Sharin to find the treasure hidden here.

‘That method would have been impossible anyway. Sharin didn’t feel anything other than Sophia’s presence either.’

Sometimes there were Quests that were spoon-fed like this.

‘After clearing a Quest with unbelievably high difficulty, I get a Quest like this.’

Khan smiled inwardly and followed the Mana arrow floating in front of him.

Khan followed the Mana arrow, passed the third basement floor where Sophia was, and continued down the stairs.

Before he knew it, Khan was able to reach the fourth basement floor, where the stairs ended.

Arriving at the fourth basement floor, Khan walked down a long corridor.

At the end of the corridor, there was another staircase leading down.

“Am I supposed to go down here again?”

As the arrow pointed to the bottom of the stairs, Khan followed the arrow down the stairs again.

There were lights made with Alchemy in various places on the underground walls, but from here on, even those were gone, and he couldn’t see properly ahead.

Wooooong…!!

As Khan raised his Mana a little, the blue Mana light brightly illuminated the vicinity.

As soon as his vision was secured, Khan followed the stairs.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

After about ten more minutes, a dead end appeared.

“This is…?”

Wooooong….

As Khan raised his Mana a little more in front of the dead end, he could confirm that what was blocking him was not a wall but a large door.

A giant door about five times the height of a person.

“The arrow… is pointing here.”

The Guide arrow floating in front of Khan’s eyes pointed to the door.

That meant he had to open this door and go inside.

Tak.

Khan put his hand on the door and slowly applied force.

…….

However, no matter how hard he pushed, the door didn’t budge.

“I guess it doesn’t open just like that.”

In the first place, Khan’s physical abilities were barely above those of an ordinary person.

How much muscle strength would a skinny body have?

He would never be able to open the door with this body.

However.

Wooooong…!!

It was a different story for a Mage.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeong…!!!!

The three Mana rings in Khan’s heart began to rotate rapidly.

At the same time, blue Mana began to rise around him.

Wooooooooooooong…!!!!

The reason why having many Circles is good.

That is, rotating the Circles of the heart dramatically increases overall physical abilities.

“Huuup…!”

Tak.

Drrrrrrrrrrrk…!!!!!

Khan rotated the three Circles and pushed the giant door with force once again.

Then, this time, the door slowly moved forward.

Drrrrrrrrrrrk…!!!

Finally, the giant door opened completely, and Khan immediately went through the door.

“To think there would be such a large space underground.”

Beyond the door, a vast space the size of a baseball field unfolded, and something was firmly in place in the distance.

“A box?”

Inside the vast space, nothing was visible except for a box placed alone.

Khan quickly walked towards the box.

The closer he got to the box, the more Khan could roughly guess the identity of the box.

“A large box made of metal….”

He had only seen it once in a game.

At that time, Khan accidentally obtained a map while defeating a Monster in a Dungeon, and when he went to the place marked on the map, he found a metal box about five meters high, just like the one in front of him.

“The item I got back then was a Legendary Rank item.”

The problem was that opening this box was unbelievably difficult.

“To open this box… you need at least 100,000 Mana…. Moreover, no matter how I combine the Skills I have now, it’s impossible to open the box.”

This metal box was made of a special metal, so it wouldn’t open no matter what he did.

Khan in the <Geo Arc> was a Ranker, so he barely managed to open the box, but most Users would have to pass by without being able to open it even after finding it.

“Huu… Still, this might be a different box from the one I saw in the past… Should I try opening it first?”

Khan approached the metal box and jumped high.

Paaaat!!

Shooooooong!!

Since the Flight Magic that Sharin had cast was still in effect, Khan easily floated in the air.

Then, he approached the five-meter-sized metal box and put strength into his hand to open it.

Wooooong…!!!!!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeong…!!!

He tried to open the box with maximum force, raising his Mana and rotating the Circles as he did when he opened the door earlier, but the box didn’t budge.

“I guess it’s impossible to open this box with force. It’s better to just break it.”

To open this box with the Mana he has left now, what Skills should he combine?

Khan opened his Status Window first.

◈ LV.59

◈ Khan (Lee Huseong)

◈ Mana: 3160/3840

◈ Talent: Magic

◈ 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

When he opened the Status Window and checked, Khan’s Mana had recovered by about 300.

An enormous Mana Recovery speed compared to before.

‘This must all be due to the influence of the Circles.’

Khan first used the Arrow Skill as a test.

[You have used the Skill ‘Arrow’.]

Wooooong…!!!!!

Wooooong…!!!!!

Wooooong…!!!!!

Dozens of blue Mana Arrows were created around Khan.

Cheok.

As Khan reached out towards the metal box, the Mana Arrows flew straight towards the metal box.

Swaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!

Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!

Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!

The momentum was considerable, but the Mana Arrows bounced off weakly as soon as they touched the metal box.

“I guess it won’t be pierced with this much.”

Wooooong…!!!!!

Khan raised his Mana to the maximum and expanded his Sensory Perception.

There was a possibility that there might be a clue hidden inside this underground space that could open this box.

‘There’s nothing I can feel in particular.’

He had some expectations, but he couldn’t see any clues that could open the box.

He also looked closely at the metal box, but he couldn’t see any parts that could easily open the box, such as a keyhole.

“Since it’s come to this, I have to somehow break the box with the Mana I have left.”

As soon as he accepted the Main Quest, the Guide arrow floating in front of Khan’s eyes was pointing to this giant metal box.

That meant that the reward for this Main Quest, the ‘hidden treasure’, was inside this metal box.

“I wonder what’s inside this box….”

Khan said that and raised his Mana to the maximum once again.

Woooooooooong…!!!!!!

Kukukukukukukukukukung…!!!!!!

At the same time, Khan rapidly rotated the three Circles in his heart.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeong!!!!!

The speed of the Circles rotating around the heart was so fast.

This would greatly amplify the power when using Magic, but it would put a strain on the heart and cause tremendous pain.

However, Khan was an exception.

‘The fact that I don’t feel any pain even when I raise the Circles to the limit must be thanks to the Sage’s Heart, the Rank 10 Hidden Skill I have.’

Anyway, Khan, who had finished all the preparations, began to use Skills.

[You have used the Skill ‘Fireball’.]

Hwareureureureuk…!!!

Hwalhwalhwalhwalhwal!!!!!

A giant Flame Sphere with a diameter of ten meters was created in front of Khan’s eyes.

Without stopping there, he used ‘Wind Cutter’, which could be continuously stacked unlike other Skills, fifty times in a row.

[You have used the Skill ‘Wind Cutter’.]

[You have used the Skill ‘Wind Cutter’.]

[You have used the Skill ‘Wind Cutter’.]

[You have used the Skill ‘Wind Cutter’.]

.

.

.

Then, a giant blade of wind was created in front of Khan’s eyes.

The Flame Sphere that had been created in advance swallowed the blade of wind as it was.

Hwareureureureureureureureuk!!!!!

Hwalhwalhwalhwalhwalhwalhwalhwalhwal!!!!!!

Then, a Flame Blade with a diameter of 10m was created.

The strongest attack that Khan could do now.

Cheok.

As Khan reached out towards the metal box, the Flame Blade flew straight towards the metal box.

Swaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!

The Flame Blade flew with the momentum to burn and cut everything.

Then, Khan used one more Skill as the last one.

[You have used the Skill ‘Fire Boom’.]

Then, a huge explosion occurred in the Flame Blade that flew towards the metal box.

Kwaaaaaaaang!!!!

Kukwaaaaaaaang!!!!!

With a huge roar, black smoke spread in all directions.

Khan looked at the place where the metal box had been.
